The steel pipe fell to the ground, but the guy was clearly an old hand. Instead of retreating, he charged forward.
Ignoring the pain in his wrist, he rushed up and began grappling with Ye Yun.
Ye Yun could see the man's intentions clearly.
The entrance hall was too small; the guy wanted to pin Ye Yun down so his accomplice could attack with a spring-loaded knife!
Since his plan was seen through by Ye Yun, how could he possibly fall for it?
Dodging the man's outstretched hands, Ye Yun swept his leg, knocking the attacker down.
However, Ye Yun didn't expect the man, even on the ground, to grab his right leg and pull hard.
Fortunately, his stance was steady, and he wasn't pulled down by the assailant.
Just then, the guy with the spring-loaded knife lunged again.
This time, Ye Yun didn't dodge. He could only twist his body with all his might. The dagger grazed his waist, nicking his skin and making Ye Yun wince in pain.
The man on the ground was still holding his ankle, trying to drag him down.
But how would Ye Yun give him another chance?
Using the man's own force, he kicked the attacker in the jaw.
The man cried out, struck in the jaw, but quickly stifled his pain, stubbornly refusing to let go of Ye Yun's leg.
And this time, Ye Yun was stabbed in the stomach again!
A large bloom of blood instantly appeared on his blue down jacket!
"Damn it!"
Seeing blood, Ye Yun's ferocity ignited. As the man prepared to stab with the spring-loaded knife again, Ye Yun decided not to dodge this time.
He reached out with both hands and, at the last possible moment, grabbed the man's knife-wielding hand.
Then, with a sinister grin, he directly twisted the man's wrist. The spring-loaded knife clattered to the floor, and the attacker clutched his hand, his face contorted in pain!
However, this guy was also tough. Even in this state, he didn't scream. He just struggled to get up, intending to attack Ye Yun again.
But in just this short while, Ye Yun had already knocked out the guy who had held the steel pipe.
With only one man left, whose wrist Ye Yun had just broken, he was no longer a threat.
Grinning sinisterly, Ye Yun walked over. The attacker tried to kick Ye Yun's wound, but Ye Yun wouldn't give him the chance.
He grabbed the man's leg and then punched him directly in the shin...
A shrill scream immediately echoed from the doorway. Ye Yun followed up with another blow, and the man slumped unconscious.
Ye Yun was breathing heavily.
These guys were clearly seasoned fighters. He wondered where the gigolo had found them.
They fought like they had nothing to lose, incredibly formidable!
Having taken Licorice Pill, Ye Yun could handle three to five ordinary adults.
With five or six, he could subdue one or two with his swift tactics and intimidate the rest.
But against these seasoned fighters, it wasn't as effective.
To be honest, if Ye Yun hadn't taken out one of them first upon entering, and if the three of them had attacked together, he might not have been their match!
After all, one man's fists can't fight off four legs, and his opponents were all ruthless, with limited space in the entrance hall.
As it was, after dealing with these two, he had sustained some injuries.
The wound on his abdomen, thankfully, was shallow. Because it was deep winter and he was wearing a down jacket, the dagger didn't penetrate deeply.
If it were summer, such strenuous activity would have led to severe bleeding!
As for the gigolo, seeing his supposed "brothers" easily dispatched by Ye Yun, he had long since collapsed on the ground, pale-faced and trembling uncontrollably.
"You, you, you, don't come any closer."
Ye Yun couldn't be bothered with words. With a sinister grin, he walked over and landed a punch that caved in the gigolo's nose.
"Blood! Blood! Blood!" The pretty boy wiped his nose and, seeing the blood on his hand, immediately fainted from fear.
Ye Yun ignored him and walked over to Wu Ziqiong and Tongtong.
Only then did he realize that Wu Ziqiong wasn't bound by rope, but by ten-centimeter wide packing tape!
Ye Yun picked up the spring-loaded knife from the floor and easily cut a slit in the tape, tearing it away.
Turning back, Ye Yun's expression grew grim as he looked at the men lying on the ground.
These guys... were professionals!
In college, he had a senior who was a forensic doctor, and he had interned with him for a while.
He knew that using packing tape instead of rope to bind someone was a tactic used by experienced kidnappers.
Taping the wrists tightly would immobilize the victim, and it wouldn't cause major problems!
After all, if they were caught with rope, it would immediately become evidence!
But packing tape... everyone had that lying around at home!
Furthermore, prolonged binding with rope could easily abrade the victim's wrists, which, upon DNA testing, would immediately reveal their identity!
Packing tape avoided all these complications.
He freed Wu Ziqiong and Tongtong, and then removed the gag from the mother and daughter's mouths.
Wu Ziqiong was completely stunned. When Ye Yun had stormed in alone, she had been terrified to the extreme.
Especially seeing Ye Yun risking his life for her, she felt a flame burning within her heart.
No matter what!
Even if it cost her her own life, she had to ensure Ye Yun returned safely!
It was a pity that no matter how violently she struggled, the packing tape rendered her efforts futile...
"Uncle Ye!" While Wu Ziqiong was still lost in shock, Tongtong threw her arms around Ye Yun and burst into tears.
"Be good, Tongtong, it's okay now, be good, it's okay," Ye Yun said with a gentle smile, stroking Tongtong's head.
Tongtong's loud crying finally brought Wu Ziqiong back to her senses.
Looking at Ye Yun, whose face was filled with a gentle smile, her face immediately flushed.
At that moment, she recalled a classic line from "A Chinese Odyssey."
"My intended is a heroic warrior. One day, he will appear amidst the cheers of the crowd, clad in golden armor and riding a colorful cloud to save me..."
At the darkest moment of her life, she had wished to perish with that scumbag.
But Ye Yun had appeared.
He had saved her!
Wu Ziqiong's heart was pounding rapidly.
Seeing Ye Yun's smile, her heart felt like it was leaping into her throat.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before in her life.
It was wonderful, and sweet!
"Are you alright, Tongtong's mom?" Ye Yun asked, holding Tongtong, with a smile.
"I'm fine... Ye Yun, how could you come here? It's too dangerous here!" Wu Ziqiong, regaining her composure, blushed even deeper. Then she noticed the bloodstains on Ye Yun's clothes, "You're hurt? Ah! You're bleeding! Let's go to the hospital quickly! Ye Yun, does it hurt terribly?"
As she spoke, Wu Ziqiong's eyes welled up with tears.
Ye Yun smiled.
"It's nothing, just a superficial wound. This thick down jacket only got scratched, it's fine. And you, look at you, your mouth is so swollen. If I hadn't come early, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Hearing Ye Yun's concern.
Although Wu Ziqiong's lips still burned, her heart felt as if it had been smeared with honey, filling her with joy.
Ye Yun, on the other hand, turned to look at the sprawled figures in the room. He then walked over and kicked the gigolo. The moment the gigolo saw Ye Yun, he trembled all over in fear.
"You you you you you, don't come any closer!"
