Snake Demon in Trouble, Sister Huo to the Rescue

Over the weekend, Grandpa gave his precious granddaughter a black Tibetan mastiff as a gift.

The Tibetan mastiff was only half a month old and chubby.

Ye Huo played with him in the garden.

Her second brother, Ye Chen, a domineering CEO, was abroad.

Her third brother, Ye Fan, an international award-winning actor, had gone out to shoot a film.

Only Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, her maternal grandparents, and her eldest brother were home to play with Huohuo.

Ye Mo watched his sister in the garden with a solemn expression, his eyes full of affection.

"Huohuo, this is your pet. Give him a name."

Her eldest brother crouched beside Ye Huo and smiled.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, exceptionally tall and handsome.

He carried a soldier's aura about him.

He had short, ink-black hair, deep eyes that gleamed like obsidian, a high nose bridge, and thin red lips.

He was especially cold and aloof toward others, but he doted on his one and only precious little sister.

Ye Huo stroked the lively little Tibetan mastiff with her fair, slender fingers.

Her red lips curved, a smile in her eyes, looking incredibly cool. "Big Brother, let's call him Black Flame."

Black Flame!

The king of Tibetan mastiffs!

Such a domineering name was worthy of his sister.

Ye Mo smiled in satisfaction.

After playing with the dog at home for a while, Ye Huo's phone chimed.

"Boss, Snake Demon was captured by the Capital's biggest gang, Qilin Hall. Come quickly!"

The message was from Thousand Mechanisms.

Ye Huo's pupils widened in shock for a moment when she saw the message. She took a car and hurried off to rescue her.

Her mother, Jian Yan, rushed after her and asked, "Precious Huohuo, Mom made your favorite crayfish and watermelon juice. Where are you going?"

"Mom, I have something to do. I'll talk to you later."

Ye Huo drove the Ferrari with one hand, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away in a cloud of dust.

In an instant, the red Ferrari roared out of the villa gates, the scenery on both sides racing backward.

In the car, Thousand Mechanisms was telling her what had happened: last night, Snake Demon had gone to the Xiao Family to retrieve the jewelry her mother had worn when she was alive. Who would have thought that the Xiao Family head and Qilin Hall's boss had already laid a trap and captured her?

Snake Demon had now been taken to Qilin Hall's hidden chamber and imprisoned in Frost Prison, with no way out.

"Boss, Snake Demon is our partner. She's braved life and death alongside us. We have to save her!"

Listening to Thousand Mechanisms' anxious voice, Ye Huo recalled Snake Demon's background.

Snake Demon's real name was Xiao Huang, and she was twenty years old. She was the eldest young lady of the Xiao Family, one of the Capital's ten great wealthy families.

Her mother was a formidable businesswoman who had helped her father expand his business across the world. When the family's assets reached hundreds of billions, she suddenly fell into the sea and vanished.

Snake Demon had also been driven out of the Xiao Family at a young age.

Her father, Xiao Yuxian, had married her stepmother, Lin Wange, and had a son and daughter with her. No one cared whether Snake Demon and her mother lived or died anymore.

Ten years had passed, and everyone in the Capital knew Lin Wange, the current Mrs. Xiao, but not her mother, Nangong Ying.

Most hateful of all, Xiao Yuxian had actually given her mother's most expensive dowry-a complete set of deep-sea blue diamond jewelry-to her stepmother's daughter, Xiao Qiang, as a birthday present.

That had thoroughly stepped on her reverse scale.

She had launched a surprise attack on the Xiao Family partly to steal the jewelry, but more importantly, to take proper revenge on Xiao Yuxian.

It was this man who had cast a shadow over her entire childhood.

She would take ruthless revenge!

But Snake Demon had been too hasty. Haste bred chaos, and she had fallen into an ambush and gotten herself captured.

Still, she could be considered a fierce and resolute woman. Even if she died, she would slash that man a few times!

What a satisfying way to repay a grudge.

A trace of admiration appeared in Ye Huo's eyes.

Dressed in a black military-style outfit, with her ink-dark hair falling over her shoulders and her red lips pressed together, she looked every bit the female assassin as she drove to the assassins' headquarters.

The Ginza Building stood in the bustling heart of the Capital.

Skyscrapers towered around it.

It was extraordinarily grand.

Any apartment here cost upwards of ten million.

Ye Huo parked the Ferrari in the underground garage, switched off the engine, pulled out the key, and strode up to the top floor.

The entire 66th and top floor of the building belonged to Ye Huo.

It was a property she had invested in while abroad.

It had a good location and elegant surroundings, with a view overlooking the buildings of the entire city.

Ye Huo liked this feeling of standing at the summit, where the heights were too cold to bear.

She took the elevator upstairs. At that moment, Thousand Mechanisms and Blood Blade were as anxious as ants on a hot pan in the luxurious office.

They were both deeply worried about Sister Snake Demon.

"What exactly happened? You knew it was a trap, so why didn't you stop her?"

Ye Huo unlocked the door with her fingerprint, her red lips moving without betraying any emotion.

Her expression was as composed as ever.

Although she cared deeply about her subordinates, she could remain steady, calm, and restrained at all times. Those were the qualities a boss ought to possess.

"Boss, sorry, we couldn't stop her!"

"Sister Snake Demon is trapped in Qilin Hall's most terrifying Frost Prison. We have to save her!"

Thousand Mechanisms spoke anxiously while operating the computer and hacking into Qilin Hall's internal surveillance system.

Sister Snake Demon was cold on the outside but kind at heart, and she treated them so well.

She often brought them food and looked after them like younger brothers.

Blood Blade and Thousand Mechanisms swore they would rescue Sister Snake Demon.

Ye Huo glanced at the surveillance view of Qilin Hall's location. As ill luck would have it, seven of Qilin Hall's branches surrounded it on all sides, in the most chaotic part of West Street.

The entire street was full of hired thugs.

Thus, Qilin Hall's territory on West Street was known as the largest in the entire Capital.

Anyone who entered that devil's street of death would be under Qilin Hall's heavily guarded watch, and escaping would be nearly impossible!

Once the rescue caused too much of a commotion,

the ruffians and assassins from every direction would immediately mobilize. Once the whole street was sealed off, escape would be difficult.

That was why Blood Blade and Thousand Mechanisms were so worried. After all, this was the Capital, where killing was against the law.

If they were abroad, they could have bombed the place and settled it in minutes.

Even if it was difficult, they still had to save her!

Ye Huo calmed herself, studied the terrain and escape routes, and worked out a rescue plan. Then she set off with her two underlings.

The three arrived at the street where Qilin Hall's stronghold was located.

The dark district was lined with tall buildings housing bars, nightclubs, KTVs, and more.

The West City stronghold stood at the very end of the alley. The burly men in black standing guard at the entrance were intimidating to behold.

Anyone who offended Qilin Hall was captured and locked up in there. The place had been built as solidly as a castle, and the temperature inside was extremely low. Once prisoners were taken in, they could forget about escaping!

Ye Huo's lips curved in a cold smile.

Qilin Hall, the largest security company in the Capital, ostensibly provided security services to celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and other rich people.

In truth, they were those rich people's dogs!

As long as someone paid, they would capture anyone!

It was just that no one dared offend Qilin Hall!

Today, Ye Huo intended to take on West Street's largest gang and bring her subordinate out.

She put on a mask, applied makeup, and tucked a dagger and weapons into her boots, ready to act.
