Chapter 236: Chapter 246, I, Fang Yi, Swear Here

Fang Yi had intended to warn Cai Qin, but Cai Qin had already sprinted over and entered the secret passage even faster than him.

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment then said, "She really is a decisive woman."

Fang Yi also crawled into the secret passage.

Not long after, a loud explosion came from behind, and the entire secret passage shook as if it were an earthquake.

...

Outside the villa.

The ground shook.

"What’s happening, what’s happening, is it an earthquake?" Song Wuliang asked anxiously.

"No, it’s the sound of an explosion," Li Xue answered.

"What? Fang Yi and the beautiful Cai Qin are still inside..." As he spoke, Song Wuliang wanted to rush towards the direction.

However, before he had run a few steps, Li Xue grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.

"Heroine, why are you holding me back?" Song Wuliang asked.

"Look at you, what can you do? Go in there to die?" Li Xue waved over a guard and said, "You command the battlefield here, I’ll go around this place to chase after them."

"Why can’t I go?" Song Wuliang asked.

A sly glint flashed in Li Xue’s eyes as she responded, "Because..."

However, before she could finish, Li Xue jumped into the car, started it, and drove off. Just then, Song Wuliang saw several cars driving towards them, unobstructed. His heart skipped a beat, and he muttered under his breath that it was bad, the old men were coming again.

Besides Old Master Song and Old Master Bai, there were others arriving, including the Kong Family’s old master and the Lin Family’s old master. Now that the old masters of the four major families of Moon City had gathered, it might indeed pierce the heavens; this trouble was too big.

Song Wuliang looked around and realized he was the only one standing there, which was a terrible predicament.

...

...

Inside the secret passage, there was air, plenty because the flames of the candles showed no signs of extinguishing. Cai Qin intended to take out her cellphone and use its flashlight, but upon patting herself down, the cellphone was nowhere to be found.

It was clear, her phone was lost.

So, Fang Yi decided to pull out his phone. However, it seemed his luck was truly bad; he patted his pocket and then remembered he had left his phone in the driver’s seat of the car.

Thus, they had no choice but to use the candle flames to navigate.

Feeling somewhat suffocated, Fang Yi pulled out a cigarette and lit it with the candle flame, taking a deep puff to momentarily relieve the pressure. As he briskly walked towards the other end of the secret passage, he also pondered some matters, trying to organize his thoughts.

This incident was bound to cause a huge commotion. The Xiaoshan Villa District housed too many wealthy and powerful people. Without gaining something, shouldering the blame was something no one could afford.

Fang Yi glanced at Cai Qin, knowing if this matter involved her, it might be...

"Why are you looking at me?" Cai Qin asked.

"When we were in the car, I told you to get out, why didn’t you?" Fang Yi asked.

Cai Qin’s expression tightened slightly. She huffed and arrogantly said, "You told me to get out and I should just obey? Wouldn’t I lose face then?"

"Then tell me honestly, what punishment will you receive after this incident?" Fang Yi’s tone became colder.

Cai Qin remained silent.

Fang Yi asked, "Is it severe?"

Cai Qin nodded. "I might be expelled from the Dragon Team, perhaps, that’s likely..."

Fang Yi then asked, "Do you want to leave the Dragon Team?"

Cai Qin suddenly smiled and said, "To me, the Dragon Team is like my home."

Fang Yi replied, "Good, I’ve got that."

Cai Qin was taken aback. "What have you got?"

Fang Yi responded, "I won’t let you leave the Dragon Team. If there is any punishment, I’ll bear it for you."

Cai Qin’s pretty face revealed a look of astonishment as she glanced at the man beside her by the dim candlelight, and he no longer seemed as detestable and shameless as before.

But because of Cai Qin’s inherent pride and reserve, she coldly said, "Hmph, there’s no need for you to be so kind."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Fang Yi suddenly stopped as he sniffed the air.

"What’s wrong?" Cai Qin asked involuntarily.

Fang Yi crouched down and, by the light of the candle, saw a pool of blood in the corner of the wall.

Both of them frowned simultaneously and their expressions darkened, Cai Qin said, "Someone’s injured."

Fang Yi said, "More than one person is injured."

With that, Fang Yi got up and began to walk briskly, with Cai Qin keeping pace with quick steps.

Before long, Fang Yi, with his keen senses, said in a low voice, "There’s a vent, we’re almost at the exit."

Cai Qin also felt a breeze on her face and said quietly, "It’s just that we don’t know where this exit leads."

Fang Yi said, "I’ve calculated it. We’ve been walking for about ten minutes, approximately 120 steps per minute, and about 150 meters per minute. We’ve walked roughly one thousand five hundred meters, which means we’ve probably left the range of Xiaoshan Villa."

Cai Qin stared in amazement and exclaimed, "You figured all that out?"

Fang Yi calmly said, "It’s all about observation."

Cai Qin was speechless, wondering what exactly was going on in this guy’s mind to be able to calculate even that, something she definitely couldn’t figure out herself.

At this moment, Fang Yi’s mood was somewhat heavy. They had already left the Xiaoshan Villa area, which was adjacent to a river. If those people had already taken the girls aboard a boat and left along the river, their operation might fail again.

Fang Yi picked up his pace; the path ahead gradually brightened.

"It’s the exit!" Cai Qin exclaimed joyfully.

The two hurried forward and soon came out to be greeted by a gust of night wind.

They found themselves in a forest, but with the help of the moonlight, a shimmering river could be seen in the distance.

Without hesitation, Fang Yi prepared to sprint, but just then, Cai Qin suddenly screamed.

"Who’s there!"

The candle had gone out, and as Fang Yi lit it again and moved closer, a bloodied face came into view.

It was a girl, her hair disheveled, some strands stuck together with blood, looking extremely haggard and withered, her eyes dim and breathing labored.

Cai Qin, too, saw her by the candlelight and quickly crouched down, pulling the girl out.

"Save... me... save me..." the girl weakly said.

Fang Yi quickly checked the girl’s breathing, which was very faint, almost like a thread. As Fang Yi tried to take the girl’s hand to check her pulse, he found several wounds on her wrist.

"She can’t be saved," Cai Qin suddenly said.

Fang Yi’s expression darkened.

Cai Qin’s expression was somber, and she took the candle from Fang Yi’s hand to shine it on the girl’s back, revealing a sharp dagger that made Fang Yi’s heart wrench.

The girl had been stabbed in the back; surviving this long was already miraculous.

But there was no more possibility of saving her.

A flicker of light appeared in the girl’s eyes, and her bloody, youthful face suddenly showed a streak of defiance, "Revenge... revenge... revenge..."

After uttering these three words, the girl’s body spasmed, and she finally took her last breath.

Yet her eyes, fueled by resentment, remained open.

A breeze blew past, stirring the girl’s messy hair. Fang Yi reached out and closed her unyielding eyes.

Fang Yi knew that she wanted revenge.

The night was ink-black, and the moonlight cold.

"In the name of Fang Yi, I swear not to rest until Song Haoyue is dead," Fang Yi declared.

(As handsome as I am, I was supposed to go for matchmaking?! Goodbye everyone!)
