Mu Jiu Chen was silent; he indeed lacked her level of vigilance.
Her vigilance seemed tempered by countless trials, allowing her to easily identify danger when faced with it.
Mu Jiu Chen nodded and followed him into the fire escape.
Upstairs, in the surveillance room, the two men exchanged glances the moment they saw them heading into the fire escape.
"Damn, they didn't take the elevator."
"Shit, the first part of the plan failed."
The slightly overweight man's face darkened considerably as he clenched his fist. Big Wind Novel.
"From the time you made the call until now, they arrived here extremely quickly, reaching this place in twenty minutes."
"What do we do?" the man, thin as a monkey with sunken eyes and dark skin, appearing especially eerie and ferocious, asked.
The slightly overweight man, his face filled with malice, looked ferociously at the two figures moving in the stairwell. "It's good they came. Mu Jiu Chen is here too."
"Haha... if we can take out their entire family of three, won't we get over a hundred million?" The thin man's face was etched with greed.
The plump man nodded with a smile. "She's very rich."
"Then what are we afraid of? People die for wealth, birds starve for food. After this job, we can retire." A murderous intent flashed across the thin man's face.
The plump man said fiercely, "Prepare yourselves. They're almost here. Don't mess up this time like '[Viper]' did."
"Understood." The thin man glanced around the room, turned, and went into another room to prepare.
However, just as the man was about to enter, the door was kicked open with a "bang..."
This was a power so startling that it froze both men on the spot.
What met their eyes next was a face so beautiful it was both aloof and captivating, capable of toppling kingdoms.
The girl's figure was exquisite, her straight, slender legs seeming to contain boundless power.
"Ah..." After recovering from their shock, the two men cried out in surprise.
The girl before them was Jiang Nuan.
As the two were still in disbelief, Mu Jiu Chen's tall figure appeared behind Jiang Nuan.
Mu Jiu Chen saw the blood dripping from Jiang Nuan's back, and the fierceness in his eyes grew stronger.
He looked at the two men opposite them, a murderous aura erupting.
"Wait for me here." The icy command allowed no room for refusal.
Jiang Nuan's step forward suddenly stopped.
More precisely, she was stunned by Mu Jiu Chen's angry voice and his state of mind.
He remembered what he had told her last time: where he was, she shouldn't act impulsively, just stay behind him.
This time, he had truly done it, making her stand behind him. A stream of warmth involuntarily rose in Jiang Nuan's heart, her chest pounding faster than usual. She clearly heard the strong beat of her own heart.
Mu Jiu Chen walked towards them with an imposing aura, his long legs exuding immense power. Each step he took seemed to land on their hearts, especially his cold, ruthless, and deep eyes, which were filled with terrifying killing intent and rage.
The man sitting by the computer suddenly grabbed a glass teacup from the table and hurled it at Mu Jiu Chen.
The cup flew at an incredible speed, but Mu Jiu Chen tilted his head slightly and dodged it.
"Bang..." The glass cup hit the wall with a dull thud.
Mu Jiu Chen strode forward. His imposing presence and height surpassed that of the slightly overweight man before him. Just his terrifying, overwhelming aura was enough to shock him.
He froze, forgetting to move, and only reacted to struggle and fight back when Mu Jiu Chen grabbed him by the collar.
However, he had already lost his prime opportunity.
"Bang..." Mu Jiu Chen punched him squarely in the face.
"Ah..." The man let out a piercing scream, blood splashing from his mouth.
Mu Jiu Chen's stern, murderous expression was too intense to look at directly.
Jiang Nuan watched Mu Jiu Chen's actions; it seemed he quite enjoyed punching faces.
One minute later, the man lay on the ground, his vision blurry, his ears and eyes filled only with pain, unable to see or hear clearly.
Seeing Mu Jiu Chen like this, the thin man also took a step back in fear.
But Mu Jiu Chen, in his rage and desperation, driven by the faint scent of blood from behind Jiang Nuan and their kidnapped treasure...
"How dare you touch my people, Mu Jiu Chen? Who gave you the audacity?" Mu Jiu Chen kicked the man who was about to pass out.
The man had thought he would be able to pass out, but the pain jolted him back to consciousness.
Rumor had it Mu Jiu Chen was terrifying, and at this moment, he truly felt as if one foot had already entered the gates of hell.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at the thin man, his tone extremely cold, "Where is my son?"
The thin man glanced at the room. Once he got into this room and obtained a weapon, he could deal with these two.
No matter their identities, death would be the end of it all.
He needed money desperately, yearning for a better life.
"He's inside." A wicked, eerie smile flashed across the thin man's face.
Mu Jiu Chen was not someone without caution. Seeing the fleeting, strange smile in the man's eyes, Mu Jiu Chen had already made his plans.
He wanted to see what kind of storm this man could stir up.
He followed the man inside. Not seeing his precious son, the man walking ahead quickly pulled open a drawer, took out a gun, and suddenly turned, aiming it directly at Mu Jiu Chen's chest.
Mu Jiu Chen stood his ground, his gaze as cold as ice.
Jiang Nuan, standing in the living room, shook her head slightly. This Mu Jiu Chen was also foolish, walking in so unguardedly when he clearly sensed trouble.
She glanced at another room; her son was in that room.
Passing by the computer desk, she happened to see a glass bead. She picked it up casually and stood behind Mu Jiu Chen.
"Mu Jiu Chen, Jiang Nuan, you will be a pair of ill-fated lovers. I have fulfilled your wish, so you should be grateful to me," the thin man said, a triumphant laugh escaping him.
But compared to the tall and well-built Mu Jiu Chen before him, Mu Jiu Chen's strong arms could crush him in an instant.
The man held a gun, but upon meeting Mu Jiu Chen's chilling eyes, his hand trembled slightly in fear, immediately deviating from Mu Jiu Chen's heart.
Jiang Nuan, highly sensitive to timing, immediately shot the glass bead towards the man's hand.
Her skills, honed by countless trials, hit their mark with perfect accuracy.
"Ah..." The man's wrist throbbed with pain, and the gun uncontrollably fell to the ground.
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
He turned back to the woman behind him with a helpless sigh. Her face, stunningly beautiful, paired with an expression of grievance, actually evoked a trace of pity in Jiang Nuan.
"Nuan Nuan, can't you give me a chance to prove myself?"
Jiang Nuan was silent for a moment, a flicker of unnaturalness crossing her face. She just couldn't bear to see him hurt.
She also didn't want to create any more trouble.
Even though it was incredibly dangerous, and she had suffered for him before, she still had an unhesitating emotional response.
She actually hated this part of herself.
Suddenly, another man's cold voice echoed from behind them: "Don't move, or I'll shoot you dead."
