Chapter 855: Chapter 567: Jealousy is Good for Physical and Mental Health (Update 2)

As soldiers, they couldn’t stand by and watch, but they had their own assessment task at hand, however, they still chose...to rescue first.

Everyone nodded in agreement, signifying their acceptance of this duty.

Or rather, in the hearts of this group at that moment, the word "choice" had never existed.

Just like Yang Yuebin’s instinctive reaction just before, what they possessed was an undeniable obligation; compared to the assessment, saving lives took precedence.

But that’s what being a true soldier is all about, isn’t it?

Without hesitation, everyone quickly ran towards the kidnappers’ location.

As Jing Youlan and his team approached, they alarmed the dozen or so kidnappers who were attempting to abduct their victims.

"Don’t meddle in other people’s business," the leader of the kidnappers said coldly as he glared at Jing Youlan and his companions, his expression sinister, filled with a severe warning.

Although their faces were covered, the firmness in their voices and the ruthlessness in their eyes made it clear how vicious they were.

With a snort, Jing Youlan looked at him, chin slightly raised, "Sorry, but the whole world knows that I, young master, love to meddle."

And with that, there was a certain insouciance in his manner, as if embodying the meddlesome youth.

The kind who seeks trouble.

Everyone turned their gaze to Jing Youlan.

Well... the lad was starting to act like a bad boy mixed with a playboy again. But it seemed that young girls liked this kind of attitude.

Cough, cough... this was not the time to think about that.

"Hey, why are we wasting words on kidnappers who aren’t cultured?" Yang Yuebin stepped forward, his fists crackling, "I’ve been itching for a fight for a long time now." He was the very image of someone ready to brawl.

Xue Jianbing also stepped forward, his jaw lifted, "Let’s make it quick!" Although they were slightly outnumbered, it wouldn’t be a problem.

"Since you’re looking for death, then so be it. Brothers, attack!" The man stepped back and commanded, "Let’s deal with these nosy brats first, and then... take the hostages back with us." That moment, the people in the car were still too scared to move, only looking at Jing Youlan and his group with a hint of hope that they could be saved.

Before his words had fully died away, Yang Yuebin and Xue Jianbing, who couldn’t wait any longer, had already charged forward.

However, it was only after they engaged that they realized these kidnappers weren’t ordinary at all; each one had impressive skills, and their own energy had been severely depleted. They were immediately at a disadvantage.

Jing Youlan hadn’t expected that they would face such a formidable group.

But no matter what, they had to deal with them quickly; otherwise, their assessment would be jeopardized if delayed any further.

They started to fight but with growing anxiety.

During the day, they had just promised Mu Lin that they would wait for her at Ying Sun.

Yet, due to fatigue and a slight daze, Xia Luoyu was carelessly seized by the kidnappers’ leader, with a gleaming gun pressed against her head.

As soldiers, they could instantly tell that it wasn’t a toy but a real weapon.

"Everybody, stop!" Holding Xia Luoyu captive, the kidnapper bellowed. Next moment, the chaotic scene ceased completely, the others retreating behind him, while Jing Youlan and his group looked on angrily, "Let her go." It was troublesome now that one of their own had fallen into the enemy’s hands.

Jing Youlan took a step forward, wanting to rush over and rescue her.

But the very next second.

A "bang" resounded as a bullet hit the ground, very close to where Jing Youlan stood, as the kidnapper looked at Jing Youlan and his team coldly with a sneer, "We warned you not to meddle here, but you wouldn’t listen, now, do you regret it?" Only, it seemed that regret was useless now!

After speaking, he laughed heartily, full of triumph and provocation.

He was openly challenging Jing Youlan and the others, brazen and unmasked, as if trying to deliberately provoke them.

"I’m warning you, let her go," Yang Yuebin also advanced a step in line with Jing Youlan’s move, "We’re not ones to be trifled with."

"Oh, we’re so scared!" One of the henchmen stepped forward and made a highly insulting gesture at them, and the group instinctively wanted to rush forward.

"Continue moving forward and try me," the gun pressed closer to Xia Luoyu’s head, now directly on her skull.

"What do you want?" The group had never imagined they would be threatened and unable to act.

"Originally, we didn’t want much," the man’s eyes twinkled with mirth. "But now you have really pissed me off, so I’m considering what to do with you."

His face bore the expression of deep contemplation.

The group subconsciously clenched their jaws.

The kidnapper sneered, then suddenly declared, "All right, to prevent any more busybodies from showing up on this road, you all just stay where you are, remember, no resisting." As he spoke, his gaze shifted to his accomplices, "Tie them all up; judging by their speech, they must be young masters and misses from wealthy families, probably worth a good sum." Since fortune had come knocking, they couldn’t let this opportunity slip by, right?

Turning down a delivered opportunity was not in their plans to play the fool.
