Target

This is a life-or-death question.

Luo Yan did not answer.

Yu Qiushui did not press the matter further.

She raised her head and looked Luo Yan up and down.

Do you know?

You saved your own life.

"Certainly."

"If it weren't for the allure of your 'secrets'."

"I'll probably still kill you."

"Because you are dangerous."

"I can feel it."

"While I enjoy seeking thrills, that's only when my own safety is guaranteed."

Luo Yan looked at her, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes, then he tried to read her mind.

result.

Just like Ziyan.

Luo Yan couldn't see what this woman was thinking!

He frowned slightly.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me.

"It seems I'm not the only one who wants to sell Zhang Ze."

This is not hard to guess.

Yu Qiushui's line, "You saved your own life," is interpreted by Qian Taisi as: I knew your purpose all along.

This can be further deduced.

Someone betrayed Zhang Ze, and it must have been one of Zhang Ze's confidants.

Otherwise, there would be no way of knowing this.

Yu Qiushui chuckled, "Rare indeed. Not only is he ruthless at such a young age, but he's also quite sharp."

"You little rascal, you have a bright future ahead of you."

She made a gesture.

Luo Yan heard the door open.

Then a familiar voice rang out.

"Hehe, congratulations, Brother Chigui, on gaining Boss Yu's favor. I'll have to stick close to you from now on."

Fake Taoist, Wen Zou!

It was him!

Luo Yan was somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Yu Qiushui laughed and said, "Daoist, don't speak so quickly. I'm just not killing him right now."

"But whether I'll support him depends on what he can offer me."

Luo Yan did not turn around to look at Wen Zou.

He said directly, "Zhang Ze's head."

"And, I support you becoming Branch Chief."

Yu Qiushui's smile deepened, "Zhang Ze's head."

"Hehe."

"You think his Advanced level is made of paper?"

"You think you can take his head?"

Luo Yan said confidently, "There will always be a way."

Look at him.

Yu Qiushui nodded. "Then convince me."

She stood up.

"Convince me with your abilities."

The Jufu Restaurant is located across the street from the Vermilion Building.

In a private room on the second floor.

Zhang Ze stood at the window.

Looking at the Vermilion Building from afar, Wei Junyi said from behind, "The Crimson Demon has already killed the Black Tortoise. When I came out, I saw him being invited away by Yu Qiushui."

Zhang Ze nodded.

Just then...

The Vermilion Building exploded!

Amidst the flames and debris, a dark shadow burst forth.

The main color is crimson, accented with black and gold.

The mech, painted in three colors and powered at full speed, sped down the street, crashing into and overturning several cars along the way.

From Vermilion Building, a group of men in white suits rushed out, shouting and cursing.

Then.

A man in a white suit rides a motorcycle, chasing after a mecha.

Zhang Ze's eyes lit up.

Turning around, he said, "Let's go back."

"Inform Wen Zou to go to Vermilion Building to inquire later."

He returned to his teahouse.

Zhang Ze drank three pots of tea before the fake Taoist in the purple robe returned.

"How is it?" Zhang Ze asked immediately.

The fake Taoist Wen Zou, shook his head. "The situation is not very clear."

"All I heard was that the Red Demon blew up the Vermilion Building in his mech."

"As for Yu Qiushui, her subordinates said she was fine. When I arrived, I heard that Yu Qiushui had already left."

Zhang Ze put down his teacup.

The smile gradually widened.

"It's nothing serious."

"Well, it's nothing serious."

"It seems the Red Demon has succeeded."

Wei Junyi looked at him, puzzled.

Zhang Ze laughed heartily, "I know Yu Qiushui, that woman, too well."

"If she's really alright, the Red Demon wouldn't have had a chance to leave at all."

"Haha, even if Yu Qiushui isn't dead now, he's probably in deep trouble!"

That night...

The old town was bustling with activity until the following day when it returned to tranquility.

Two days passed in this manner.

Two days later, in the evening.

Luo Yan was wearing non-prescription glasses, carrying a backpack, and dressed in sportswear.

He looks exactly like a student.

He walked along the narrow street, stepping on the juices that nearby street vendors had carelessly spilled on the pavement, and under the lights of various signs.

Thinking back to two days ago.

That night, following his original plan, he directly confronted Yu Qiushui and betrayed Zhang Ze.

In order to achieve his goal.

Captain of Team 7, Xuanming Department!

Luo Yan never intended to work his way up from the bottom with Zhang Ze.

That would take too much time.

He doesn't have that much time to waste on this.

Moreover, Zhang Ze had ulterior motives.

He planned to dispose of the sword after using it.

Luo Yan wouldn't be polite to him either.

Inside the Vermilion Building martial arts arena.

Luo Yan revealed some of his trump cards, which 'convinced' Yu Qiushui.

So tonight.

That's why he's here. Otherwise...

He's probably already in some trash can.

They might escape the Vermilion Building by chance, but their plan to infiltrate the 'Black Witch' would definitely fall through.

Not long after.

Luo Yan smelled a fragrance.

Look up.

There's a hot pot stall on the street corner.

It's late at night.

The diners were in twos and threes.

Inside, Luo Yan saw Zhang Ze.

He walked over.

When they arrived in front of Zhang Ze.

The man didn't recognize Luo Yan at first.

Because tonight, Luo Yan's sharp edge has been completely neutralized.

He chuckled, "Goodness, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Please sit down."

Then he called out, "Boss, the food's ready!"

soon.

The hot pot broth was served on the table, and the charcoal in the small stove underneath was burning red-hot, causing the milky white broth in the pot to bubble and simmer.

It contains spices such as cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, dried tangerine peel, cinnamon, star anise, and goji berries.

The aroma of meat at night is indeed very tempting.

Zhang Ze took a bowl and ladled soup and meat chunks for Luo Yan.

He said.

"This is the dog meat hot pot I told you about the other day, the one with really authentic flavor."

"You should try it."

Luo Yan didn't rush to pick up his chopsticks. He opened his backpack and took something out.

He handed it to Zhang Ze.

It was a square black box. When the box was opened, a heart -Chicken Heart Jade Pendant was inside.

Zhang Ze's eyes immediately lit up.

My entire focus is on this jade pendant.

Unaware that Luo Yan had lightly scratched his wrist with his pinky fingernail as he handed over the box.

Zhang Ze took the box and examined it carefully.

He continued, "This is something that belonged to Yu Qiushui. I heard it was passed down to her by her mother, and she treasures it dearly."

Luo Yan shrugged, indicating that he did not know the value of the jade pendant.

Zhang Ze closed the box and nodded. "It seems Yu Qiushui has indeed fallen into your hands."

"How did you do that?"

Luo Yan glanced around, leaned towards Zhang Ze, and whispered, "When I see her, I'll tell her that you sent me to kill her."

"The moment she gets distracted, I..."

Luo Yan lowered his voice, and just then a car passed by, the wind whistling, making it difficult for Zhang Ze to hear clearly.

I couldn't resist moving closer.

"What will you do?"

"That's... how I'll do it!"

Luo Yan's expression suddenly turned ferocious.

A punch was thrown from below.

Primal Energy erupts.

The sound of fists thundered.

Zhang Ze Zeying threw a punch, rolled twice, and half-squatted on the ground.

"How dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the scalding hot pot, pot and all, flew over!
