In the afternoon, Xiao Yufan and Dongfang Yanran had already arrived at Guan Gang Airport. It had to be said that Qiao Chuxi’s arrangements were extremely thorough—people to pick them up at the airport had already been prepared.
“Don’t worry too much, your mother will be fine. Haven’t you already spoken to her before?”
Dongfang Yanran leaned close to Xiao Yufan, uncharacteristically quiet. If someone from the Fenghuang faction saw this scene, they would be utterly shocked—never before had anyone seen this woman so intimately close to a man.
“But I really have a very bad feeling. The Killer Alliance won’t give up until they achieve their goal, and that woman definitely won’t let me go either…”
Her face showed deep unease. For the first time, Dongfang Yanran felt helpless. Fortunately, this man was beside her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have known what to do.
Xiao Yufan furrowed his brow. He hadn’t heard Dongfang Yanran talk much about her own past, but his instincts told him the reasons behind this weren’t simple.
“If the Killer Alliance dares to show themselves, I’ll make sure they never return!”
At this point, Xiao Yufan had already regarded Dongfang Yanran as his woman, and this matter was directly tied to him. If Dongfang Yanran hadn’t killed Gao Hong, things might not have gotten so bad.
Nodding heavily, Dongfang Yanran dialed her mother’s number again…
However, this time all she heard was a busy signal. Dongfang Yanran’s expression changed completely—things were indeed taking a turn for the worse.
She tried calling dozens of times, her heart sinking deeper each time, until finally, on the last attempt, someone slowly picked up the call…
“Miss Dongfang, you should already be at Guan Gang by now, right?”
The eerie, nasal voice sent chills down one’s spine. Upon hearing this voice, Dongfang Yanran furrowed her brow—she clearly knew who this man was.
Madman—that was this man’s codename, one of the few freaks within the Killer Alliance. Madman’s strength was formidable; even she would yield slightly before him. If the assassin rankings truly included everyone, Madman would definitely be ranked above her.
“What do you want…”
From Dongfang Yanran’s understanding of Madman, he shouldn’t have been involved in this matter. Yet since he had already taken action, it proved he stood on her opposing side. Whatever friendship they had shared before was now meaningless.
“My target is you—you should already know that…”
Madman’s voice carried no emotion. As a cold-blooded killer, he had even killed his own younger brother in the past. The only thing that could stir his emotions, perhaps, was a woman’s body.
“When did you become her lapdog? You used to be a lone wolf…”
Knowing Madman was no friend, Dongfang Yanran naturally didn’t hold back with her words. Still, she felt puzzled—what kind of benefit could have prompted Madman to act? Hadn’t he been on vacation in America previously?
“She promised me her body as payment after the mission. That woman must feel even better in bed than other women. This kind of trade—I like it!”
Even though Dongfang Yanran couldn’t see Madman, she could imagine his expression right now. This man, who had a special fetish for women, was indeed somewhat perverted. That woman was truly willing to go to any lengths to capture her!
“I thought you always preferred untouched women. Why the sudden interest in her?”
“Even if she isn’t my usual type, I wouldn’t mind accepting her willing body. Of course, if you’re willing to do the same, I can stand on your side instead. How about this deal?”
A sinister voice came from the other end of the line. Dongfang Yanran’s allure was undoubtedly stronger than that woman’s. As long as Dongfang Yanran was willing, he wouldn’t mind switching sides. To him, women were more important than life itself.
“Not interested. Tell me, where have you taken her? You just wanted to draw me out, right? I admit this move was effective!”
A glint of icy coldness flashed in Dongfang Yanran’s eyes. No matter what, Madman had already made her kill list. Even though the man was strong, she wouldn’t be any less formidable, especially with Xiao Yufan by her side.
“A factory on the outskirts of Guan Gang City. You have half an hour. I want to see you there in person; otherwise, I can’t guarantee your mother’s safety. She doesn’t seem like your mother at all—so fresh and delicate. Tsk tsk tsk…”
“Half an hour from now, I’ll be there. But if anything happens to her, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead but can’t die, and wish you were alive but can’t live!”
In Madman’s eyes, Dongfang Yanran was already at her emotional breaking point, ready to erupt at any moment. If it were before, he might have felt some fear, but now, he wasn’t afraid at all.
“As an assassin, you shouldn’t have any feelings. I’ll wait for you!”
A cruel smirk tugged at Madman’s lips, a chill creeping up his back. He didn’t doubt this woman’s words for a second—if he failed this time, it wouldn’t just be his life at stake.
The phone call ended with a sharp click. Dongfang Yanran didn’t even confirm whether her mother was safe. But Madman wouldn’t dare to do anything too extreme—yet.
“Honey, we have to reach a factory on the outskirts of the city within half an hour, or else they’ll make their move…”
Turning to Xiao Yufan, Dongfang Yanran almost burst into tears. No matter how strong she was, she was still just a woman. In the past, she had her master to rely on, but now, she had only this man.
“Leave it to me!” Xiao Yufan nodded. The distance from here to the outskirts was quite far. If they went by car under normal circumstances, half an hour wouldn’t be enough…
Signaling to the driver ahead, Xiao Yufan took over the steering wheel and immediately dialed Wang Wei’s number.
“Help me locate a phone’s position, then locate my own position. Tell me the shortest route—fast!”
Xiao Yufan gave Wang Wei the number, then sped off instantly. The people Qiao Chuxi had arranged hadn’t even had time to react. What the hell—were they filming a movie?
“Got it!”
Wang Wei quickly located their positions and found the nearest route. These tasks weren’t difficult for him. With this information, a cold, merciless smile curled at Xiao Yufan’s lips.
The weather was truly nice today. It seemed like another perfect day for killing…
