As dawn was about to break, a black car suddenly appeared and stopped directly outside the entrance of the Supernatural Management Bureau. The curfew had just been lifted, and many people on the outskirts of the city were starting to look for work. After all, they had to support their families, so it was common to go out before daylight.
Just then, someone emerged from the Supernatural Management Bureau carrying a sack. Yue Hengyi quickly grabbed his binoculars to observe. Under the streetlights, he could clearly see that the person carrying the sack was He Kanwen, and the contents of the sack were likely a person.
Witnessing this, Yue Hengyi gritted his teeth, his anger boiling over. He said furiously, "This is detestable! They're already preparing to take someone away for a transaction so early in the morning. Bastards! Let's make our move quickly, while there are still few people on the streets."
Many poor residents on the outskirts of the city could only start their search for work before dawn. In the city center, most residents were well-off or had stable jobs and didn't need to wake up so early. Therefore, the outskirts were bustling, while the city center was eerily quiet.
Committing misdeeds at this time would indeed be difficult to detect.
Lin Yue and Cao Fuelie also knew it was time to act. This was the perfect moment to strike. If He Kanwen was killed, everything would be resolved.
The three then leaped from the rooftop, landing lightly. They immediately charged towards the Supernatural Management Bureau. Lin Yue and Cao Fuelie led the way, with Yue Hengyi following behind. Killing people was not something Yue Hengyi was meant to do. After all, if Yue Hengyi were to commit such an act, he would be condemned by everyone in Yanjing.
However, along the way, Lin Yue's phone began to vibrate. Lin Yue, unsure of what was happening, quickly took it out to check. It turned out to be a call from Zhan Jinshu, whom he had settled the previous day.
"Hello, what is it? Now is not the time for you to be clingy," Lin Yue said. He knew Zhan Jinshu was timid, having grown up in a tragic family. Before he left, she had held onto him and spoken many words of reluctance.
But even expressing longing had to be at the right time. He was busy, and Zhan Jinshu had called him directly. Wasn't this just causing him trouble?
So, as he spoke, Lin Yue's voice was laced with anger, intending to let Zhan Jinshu know that this was not the time.
Zhan Jinshu, however, cried into the phone, "Brother Lin, please come back quickly! My father found me with a group of people from the casino. My father lost money gambling again last night and sold me to the casino. Now they're going to take me away. If you don't come back, I'll be sold."
Upon hearing this shocking news, Lin Yue was immediately exasperated. He hadn't expected this call to come at such an inconvenient time. He was just about to complete his mission, and now Zhan Jinshu was causing him trouble!
"Mr. Yue, please do me a favor. Go to my girlfriend's place and deal with a bunch of scoundrels. I'll be eternally grateful. I'll go complete my mission now." Lin Yue could only entrust this task to Yue Hengyi at this moment. Yue Hengyi was not in a position to be the one to kill, but dealing with a group of troublemaking lowlifes was quite simple.
After much thought, Lin Yue could not simply ignore Zhan Jinshu's plight. The only person he could rely on was Yue Hengyi.
Yue Hengyi had also heard the content of the phone call. He knew that the person on the other end of the line was very important to Lin Yue. He couldn't let his own affairs prevent the person he cared about from receiving comfort. Thus, Yue Hengyi patted Lin Yue's shoulder and said, "Go ahead. Cao Fuelie and I will handle things here. I'll wear a mask, and no one will recognize me."
Lin Yue was filled with gratitude upon hearing this. "Mr. Yue, you... thank you!"
"Stop with the nonsense and hurry up. If you can't save the person you love, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" Yue Hengyi said with a smile.
Lin Yue nodded, not saying another word. He gritted his teeth and rushed into the distance, his eyes filled with determination.
At that moment, Lin Yue thought to himself, "Xiao Ya, I let you stay home alone, and it led to an accident, resulting in your death in the chaos. Now, I will definitely save this person. I won't let the same thing happen a second time."
Lin Yue could still recall the events that transpired in Jiangyang. At that time, speed-type zombies had rushed in from outside the city, intending to cause chaos. He was forced to go out and maintain order. Fu Ya had locked herself in her home and stayed put, even when her neighbors in Yuzhou called for her to leave with them. In the end, the accident happened.
And now, Zhan Jinshu was cornered in her home, with a group of scoundrels threatening her outside. If he didn't return quickly, Zhan Jinshu might be sold off to who knows where. Lin Yue would not stand by and watch the same thing happen again.
After Lin Yue left, Yue Hengyi asked Cao Fuelie, "How is it? At this point, do you have the confidence to defeat the opponent?"
Upon hearing this question, Cao Fuelie's face immediately showed a look of disdain. He then said, "Who are you looking down on? It's just killing a weakling. Easy."
Yue Hengyi also took out a mask from his person and put it on. As long as it wasn't a critical moment, Yue Hengyi wouldn't need to act.
Just then, the black car sped past on the street. Yue Hengyi quickly shouted, "Let's chase!"
The sky was gradually brightening, and the rosy dawn was appearing on the distant horizon, with purplish-red light covering half the sky. If some fortune tellers were present and saw the scene, they would likely exclaim that they were witnessing "purple qi coming from the east!"
Back in the day, Laozi passed through Hangu Pass from the west, and purple qi came from the east for ninety thousand li. Thus, when the sky appeared in purplish-red hues, people subconsciously felt it was an auspicious omen.
Lin Yue sprinted through the streets, thinking to himself, "Zhan Jinshu, you must wait for me to return. Don't let me see your corpse."
Lin Yue couldn't imagine Zhan Jinshu's fate after being captured. If she were sold into a brothel, given her personality, she would surely commit suicide, wouldn't she?
Lin Yue had already witnessed too many tragic lives, especially for women. When chaos descended, women suffered first. Even Mu Ying, a powerful superpowered individual, was humiliated for a month when the apocalypse struck. If not for a fortunate turn of events that led her to become a superpowered individual, she would not have been able to exact revenge.
Many women often chose to commit suicide under the scolding of men. Zhan Jinshu was only fourteen years old, and it was impossible to imagine how she would cope with a tragic life. Therefore, Lin Yue had to stop all of this.
When Lin Yue rushed to the door where Zhan Jinshu was housed, his heart sank halfway. The door had already been pried open. At the lock, there was a huge gap, perhaps split open by an axe.
In the face of absolute power, all skills were futile.
This saying was perfectly applicable to the door lock. No matter how cleverly designed the lock was, blocking countless thieves, it was nothing in the face of brute force.
Seeing the open door, Lin Yue's mood immediately plummeted to the bottom. He thought, "Did I still arrive too late?"
Just then, a scream came from inside the house: "Let go of me! Hurry and let go of me! My husband will be back soon."
This was Zhan Jinshu's voice. Lin Yue immediately regained his spirits and rushed into the house. Zhan Jinshu had not yet been taken away, so he still had a chance.
Lin Yue then rushed into the house and saw the scene inside. Zhan Jinshu was being dragged out of the bedroom by someone. Her clean and tidy clothes had already been torn open, and her fair skin was exposed to the eyes of a group of men, exciting all these thugs.
There were about ten men in the room. One of them was Zhan Jinshu's father, Zhan Hao. He was fawningly speaking to the man who had pinned Zhan Jinshu down, saying, "Boss Wang, do you think my daughter is worth a lot? The money I owed you last night..."
"Enough, enough. The money you owed before is now cleared. Now, Grandpa and the brothers are going to have some fun, so you get lost! Brothers, if Big Brother eats meat, you can have the soup." After speaking, the burly man pressing down on Zhan Jinshu continued to tear at her clothes.
The others also revealed lewd smiles, thinking they were lucky to encounter such a beautiful woman.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yue completely lost his reason and roared as he charged forward. He could not bear to see anyone molesting Zhan Jinshu, because Zhan Jinshu's face was the same as Fu Ya's face.
Lin Yue, now a superpowered individual, killed as easily as crushing ants. Although he had no weapon in his hand, his movements were extremely fierce. He grabbed the head of the burly man pinning Zhan Jinshu and twisted it lightly, instantly snapping the man's neck.
This scene immediately shocked everyone present. The group of thugs immediately pulled out knives from their bodies, preparing to fight. Having witnessed Lin Yue's killing methods, they all understood that the person in front of them was no pushover. If they were careless, they too could be killed.
Looking at the group of enemies trembling in fear around him, Lin Yue showed no mercy and charged forward. Each punch and kick was plain and unadorned, without any fancy moves. However, when they landed on ordinary people, they were enough to kill them instantly. Lin Yue's eyes were red, and he didn't care if he was exposed.
"Bang bang..." Lin Yue threw punches. Under his merciless attacks, more than a dozen thugs met their demise. The thugs also wanted to resist, but the knives in their hands could not even touch Lin Yue. Under Lin Yue's skill, a group of ordinary people had no power to resist.
"Thump." Lin Yue grabbed the last thug by the head and smashed him against the wall, making a loud noise. The man's head immediately turned into half a watermelon, with the other half exploding. A large portion of the wall was stained red with blood.
At this moment, in Zhan Hao's eyes, Lin Yue was a complete demon king. Especially with the blood and brain matter splattering onto Lin Yue from the exploding head, Lin Yue looked even more terrifying.
Zhan Hao's left hand was already broken and was bandaged and hanging from his chest. He was also quick to seize the opportunity, immediately falling to his knees with a "thump" and kowtowing to Lin Yue like he was pounding garlic. He said, "Son-in-law, I was blinded by greed. I was blind. I know I was wrong. I will never come looking for my daughter again. Please spare me."
Lin Yue looked coldly at Zhan Hao, showing no pity. He had already given him a chance to live. All he had to do was take the gold beans and live honestly. As long as he didn't go to places he shouldn't and worked honestly, there would be no problems. But he chose the worst path.
"Unfortunately, it's too late!" Lin Yue had seen through Zhan Hao's true nature. He kicked out, his foot landing squarely on Zhan Hao's chest. Zhan Hao's chest caved in, and he spat blood, his breathing becoming shallow, clearly not going to survive.
After killing the group of scum, Lin Yue also heard many footsteps outside the door. He figured his actions must have been too loud, causing a lot of noise. This place was not suitable for lingering.
Then, Lin Yue looked at Zhan Jinshu beside him and said, "Hurry and come with me. I'll take you to Yuzhou, and from now on, no one will be able to bully you again."
Zhan Jinshu slowly stood up, her face filled with sorrow. Her clothes were tattered, and she could only pull her clothes together with her hands to barely cover herself and avoid exposure.
