Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 362: One Person in Exchange for Another
Chapter 362: Chapter 362: One Person in Exchange for Another
The helicopter descended slowly, and Xiao Chen, with an overwhelming aura, stepped down from the aircraft. He was dressed in all black, and his deep, dark eyes swept across Qiu Jun like a chilling breeze.
Xiao Chen had a cold, comic book-like face, with deep-set features and a taut jawline that radiated bursts of coldness. His narrow eyes shot out a compelling pressure, sharp and terrifying like the blade of a knife.
His arrival bolstered the confidence of Duwa and the others considerably, each of them looking up with reverence at the figure with a powerful presence and an intimidating air.
"Master Chen," Duwa stood behind Xiao Chen, heaving a sigh of relief.
Xiao Chen’s gaze fell on the SUV, and his tense nerves relaxed upon seeing that she was unharmed. He turned to Duwa and asked, "Where’s Feng Ye?"
At those words, Duwa’s expression changed, "Mr. Feng must have been taken by them."
Xiao Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, his bone-chilling gaze turning towards Qiu Jun. His thin lips parted slightly, sparing words as if they were gold, "Release her."
Qiu Jun ignored him, still staring in the direction of the SUV, with only one thought in mind, never to let her leave again.
"Fine, one for one, the woman in the car for your brother," he said, his gaze challenging Xiao Chen, his determination clear.
Xiao Chen’s icy look swept towards him, and if looks could kill, Qiu Jun would have died countless times already. He watched him coldly, "Impossible." freewebnσvel.cѳm
He would never let her fall into his hands.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Qiu Jun clapped his hands in admiration, "Young Master Xiao is willing to abandon his own brother who’s been through life and death with him for the sake of a woman. I wonder what your subordinates will think."
Qiu Jun was thrilled internally. If he previously wasn’t certain the woman in the car was her, now he was absolutely sure.
He had to admit his ability to sow discord was excellently employed. The people from Tu Mi Garden naturally knew Feng Ye better, having been through life and death with him and thus shared deep bonds.
If it was a one-for-one exchange, they naturally would hope to get Feng Ye back.
But Yun Yue had saved them several times just last night, otherwise, they would have either died at the hands of wolves or in the ambushes set by the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps.
Xiao Chen’s narrow, pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing and compelling. His lips curved up slightly, he said with a light and breezy tone, "You probably didn’t bring many people with you, did you? Why don’t you take a look around?"
Qiu Jun’s attention had always been on Yun Yue, but hearing Xiao Chen’s words, a bad premonition struck him, and he quickly raised his eyes to look into the distance.
Besides the people he had just brought over, powers from all around had indeed gathered here.
His gaze turned cold, his face darkening as if he hadn’t expected him to gather so many people in such a short time.
The color drained from Poison Centipede’s face as he saw several powers nearby, as if he were facing a great enemy.
The powers in the forbidden zone had reached a balance of mutual constraint over the past two years. If they joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for them.
"Young Master Qiu," Poison Centipede called out to Qiu Jun.
This exposure of his and Qiu Jun’s relationship would definitely make the three powers even more eager to finish them off. This timing was just right.
With Tu Mi Garden joining in, only a fool would pass up such an opportunity.
The smile on Qiu Jun’s face slowly vanished, and his narrow, cold eyes narrowed slightly.
It seemed Poison Centipede could see the determination in Qiu Jun’s heart and tried to persuade him, "Young Master Qiu, knowing K has appeared, we won’t have to worry about finding her. This really isn’t the right time."
If they acted recklessly, they wouldn’t stand a chance against their adversaries.
Yun Yue sat inside the vehicle, watching the situation outside, her lips hooked up at the corners, her eyes lifted in untamed defiance. Qiu Jun was truly taking a fall this time.
"Young Master Qiu might want to reconsider whether to release her or wait for this area to be leveled."
Faced with the encirclement of four powers, even Qiu Jun felt considerable pressure, let alone Poison Centipede.
Xiao Chen’s methods were something he had witnessed, and if he dared to say something, he would dare to do it.
He wasn’t threatening, he was stating.
Stating a fact.
Qiu Jun’s sinister and venomous gaze fixed on Xiao Chen as he spoke with an icy voice, "Release him."
Without a moment’s delay, Feng Ye, with his hands bound, walked over with a sullen expression. The moment he saw Xiao Chen appear, his eyes lit up. Seeing such a grand display warmed his heart.
Indeed, Master Chen was concerned about his brother, to put on such a show just to rescue him.
"Master Chen," he cast a moved glance, but Xiao Chen swept a detached gaze over him and turned his head to look at Qiu Jun, his thin lips parting slightly, "I look forward to our next meeting, Young Master Qiu."
"As do I, it shouldn’t be too long," Qiu Jun replied, his smile not quite reaching his eyes. He looked meaningfully toward the SUV, the corners of his lips curling slightly, "I look forward to our next meeting."
She was still avoiding him, but that was alright; he now knew her identity, and no matter how much she hid, her family couldn’t.
A dark gleam flickered in Xiao Chen’s eyes as he fell into deep thought.
After Qiu Jun left, the other three forces had not retreated. It was an opportune moment to swallow the Poison Centipede’s territory, and of course, they were not going to miss this chance, waiting at the checkpoint with predatory eyes.
"Master Chen, those three forces are..." Feng Ye’s ropes had been untied. This group had played dirty, knocking him out and tying him up.
Xiao Chen tilted his chin slightly, "Never mind them."
They simply wanted to lean on his strength to carve up the territory of the Poison Centipede, a mutually beneficial need.
Now that the matter was resolved, what they did was their business.
Yet, they probably didn’t have the guts to go against the Underground Alliance.
Feng Ye felt so touched he could cry. Turning to say something emotional, he was met with the closed car door.
He touched his nose, feeling perhaps a little too self-important.
With a slightly heartbroken expression, Feng Ye composed himself, "Regroup and prepare to leave shortly."
"Yes, Mr. Feng," Duwa looked at him with sympathy.
It was just unfortunate she wasn’t a woman.
The spacious back seat suddenly felt cramped and narrow with Xiao Chen’s addition.
Xiao Feng and the driver wisely got out of the car, making space for the two of them.
The familiar scent of tobacco lightly invaded her nostrils; his shirt was a bit wrinkled, betraying his fatigue—he must have gone all night without rest.
He was like one of those rough men who, even without bathing all night, still smelled good.
Seeing that she was unharmed, Xiao Chen’s taut jaw relaxed a little, his voice low and magnetic, with a touch of a smile, "I’m not too late, am I?"
"Just in time," Yun Yue’s lips curved slightly, her long legs bent, her posture casual and lazy.
Xiao Chen rubbed her sleek black hair—it was very smooth. His gaze, gentle as water, he spoke softly, "Get some sleep."
Yun Yue hummed softly. The person beside her had already closed his eyes and was breathing evenly, clearly asleep.
Yun Yue’s eyebrows quirked, her gaze landing on his imposing side profile—imperiously aloof and breathtaking, his brows like sharp swords exuding a frosty aura.
Her eyes shifted toward the window in the direction Qiu Jun had left, her cool gaze narrowing.
It wouldn’t be too long.
After the convoy regrouped, they left the area without obstruction. This time, the destination for the cargo was Country Z, but it would need to be handed over to their own people for safe transport.
The loss of even one piece of these goods was a loss for Country Z.
