The duck that was within reach had flown away!
Moreover, Lan Yunhai's nose bone was kicked askew by Mo Hongti, who had appeared from nowhere, and then he was kicked unconscious again.
Revived by Scorpion pinching his philtrum, Lan Yunhai exploded in rage, shouting curses.
He ordered his subordinates to pursue.
They had to retrieve those two women, play with them, and then silence them.
As long as their tracks were clean, even if Mo Hongti had a powerful man behind her, what of it?
There were plenty of people to testify for Lan Yunhai that he had never been to the racetrack today.
Lan Yunhai's more than a dozen subordinates (and racetrack personnel), except for Scorpion, all chased after them.
However.
The storm was raging fiercely, and in the complex terrain of the mountains, and crucially, the startled Fire Dragon Colt, who knew where it would carry the two women?
"Find them, you must find them!"
"Play with them until they die!"
"Then bury them alive—"
Lan Yunhai went completely mad, disregarding Scorpion's pleas, hopping and cursing in the downpour.
Rumble.
As a bolt of thunder streaked across the sky, Li Qianfan finally arrived in the provincial capital by car.
But half an hour earlier, he had just received a call from Li Zhaoyu saying that a landslide had occurred on the road to Yanzi Mountain.
Li Zhaoyu was currently leading people, desperately shoveling soil with their hands to clear the road.
It never rains but it pours.
Li Qianfan thought of this saying.
But so what?
All he could do, besides continuing to speed towards Yanzi Mountain, was to place all his hope on Mo Hongti.
As long as Mo Hongti could buy him enough time to prevent a tragedy (Su Ziyu's suicide), Li Qianfan would agree to any request she made of him in the future without hesitation.
However.
With Zhang Bao's leg broken and injured, could Mo Hongti, alone, especially after being ambushed, prevent the tragedy?
Li Qianfan's forced composure finally faltered.
The car, traveling at over 160 kilometers per hour, swayed several times.
A cold hand was placed on his.
It was Jing Ran.
She looked ahead (the convertible top had been raised) and said softly, "Qianfan. Su Ziyu chose to resist Lan Yunhai with her life because she hoped that the person she loved would live well. You must not get hurt."
Feeling the coldness from Jing Ran's hand and hearing her words, Li Qianfan's agitated heart quickly calmed down.
Yes.
Su Ziyu had acted foolishly, confronting irresistible evil forces alone, for the sake of the person she loved living well.
If Li Qianfan met with an accident while driving recklessly in the bad weather due to his anxiety for her safety, then her sacrifice would have been in vain.
Li Qianfan placed his hand over hers, interlocking their fingers. He squeezed slightly, then released.
The car's speed stabilized.
Jing Ran smiled and took out her phone.
At this point, it was necessary to inform Li Wujiang about Su Ziyu's predicament.
Prepare for a complete bloodbath of the Lan family in Tiandong!!
"Aunt Ran."
Li Qianfan said, "Don't tell my mother for now who is forcing Ziyu. Otherwise, Lan Yunhai will surely die tonight."
Jing Ran asked, "You don't want Lan Yunhai to die tonight?"
Li Qianfan nodded and said in a low voice, "I want him alive. I want to ask him face to face who is more powerful!"
He paused.
Li Qianfan smiled sinisterly, "Aunt Ran, Ziyu wishes for me to take Lan Yunhai's wife! His wife is from the Murong family in Sijiu, a Murong socialite."
"Take his wife?"
Jing Ran's eyebrows shot up, "Su Ziyu is right! That's how a man should play! We disdain doing that sort of nonsense about repaying kindness with kindness! Sijiu Murong? Heh, it's their honor for a man of my Li family to take their daughter. Qianfan, leave this to me. I know you're still a virgin and don't understand these things. Don't worry, I'll teach you a set of skills outside the room on the spot."
Li Qianfan's jaw trembled, but he said nothing.
"You are like my son, what's there to be embarrassed about? Ha, haha."
Jing Ran let out a few lewd laughs and began to call Li Wujiang using Li Qianfan's phone.
Sijiu.
While Tiandong Province was experiencing a torrential downpour, Sijiu was bathed in the setting sun.
Li Wujiang, who was preparing to leave work, spoke in a lazy voice, "Unfilial son, what is it?"
"This is Jing Ran."
"Oh."
Li Wujiang knew Jing Ran had come to Qingyun and paid it no mind.
But what Jing Ran said next stunned Li Wujiang: "Your daughter-in-law, Su Ziyu, has been in trouble. She's been snatched away. And the person who took her is holding your in-law hostage."
"What?"
Li Wujiang was taken aback and asked slowly, "Who?"
"I can't tell you for now, because Qianfan fears you will act directly. He also fears that if word gets out, that person might harm Su Ziyu."
Jing Ran glanced at Li Qianfan and continued, "Currently, Qianfan and I are rushing to the Yanzi Mountain area of Tiandong Province to search for Su Ziyu. You should know exactly what to do."
Beep.
The call ended.
"Damn it, who dares to touch my daughter-in-law!?"
Li Wujiang gritted his teeth and slammed his fist heavily on the table.
Crash.
The teacup fell to the ground.
Crack crack.
As Li Wujiang clenched his left fist, a sound like popping beans was heard.
She no longer roared or bellowed.
She took a deep breath, picked up the receiver of the landline, and dialed, "Li Xingtang, this is Li Wujiang. Su Ziyu, the wife your village chief secretly pledged to marry, has been snatched from Qingyun to the Yanzi Mountain area in the provincial capital. I think it's time for the disciplinary team of Li Family Village to take action."
"Ah!?"
Li Xingtang was momentarily stunned.
Li Wujiang impatiently cursed, "What 'ah'? Are you deaf?"
"No."
Li Xingtang came to his senses and replied, "We'll depart immediately, aiming to reach Yanzi Mountain in Tiandong Provincial Capital as quickly as possible."
Beep.
The call ended.
"Someone actually dares to touch our village chief's wife. Heh, impressive. Do they know it's been a long, long time since we last killed anyone?"
Li Xingtang hung up the phone with a slight, sinister smile and hurried out.
He quickly walked onto the street, then, facing the ancestral hall and the triangular Xuanlong flag fluttering in the wind, he roared hoarsely, "Disciplinary team, assemble!"
Just as the disciplinary team members of Li Family Village rushed out of their homes at top speed, Li Wujiang had already made a second call: "Old Qin, this is Li Wujiang from Sijiu. My daughter-in-law is currently in your jurisdiction and in trouble. I have no other requests, I just want to ask you to provide me with the greatest assistance when needed."
Smack!
A man with golden epaulets saluted, "Understood. Standing by at all times."
After putting down the handset, the man turned and said in a low voice to his confidential secretary, "Notify the Third Assault Team to prepare for immediate emergency deployment!"
"Yes!"
The confidential secretary answered loudly, then turned and rushed out of the office.
Tiandong.
This is Tiandong!
The rain was still pouring, but inside the living room of the old Lan family mansion, it was peaceful.
Elder Lan was chatting and laughing with more than ten guests who had come to congratulate Lan Yunhai on his upcoming marriage to the Murong family in Sijiu.
Suddenly.
The phone of a certain group's general manager in Tiandong rang.
He smiled apologetically and quickly walked to the door, "This is Li Xiangming. What!?"
As soon as he said his name, his face changed drastically.
His final exclamation interrupted the conversation in the room, and Elder Lan and the others instinctively looked at him.
"Okay, I'll be right there, as fast as possible!"
After speaking, Li Xiangming bolted into the rain-drenched courtyard, forgetting to bid farewell to Elder Lan and the others.
It was enough to show how shocking the news he had just received was.
Uncle Kang hurriedly chased after him, "Director Li, did something happen? Do you need our help?"
Li Xiangming then realized that he was currently a guest at the home of Tiandong's most prominent figure.
But he still didn't stop.
He only called back, "No need! It's just some ignorant dog who is causing trouble for our young madam in the Yanzi Mountain area! I have to hurry, I apologize, Elder Lan!"
When he said the word "apologize," he had already run out of the courtyard gate.
"Young madam? Who could Director Li's young madam be?"
Elder Lan and the others looked at each other.
Someone realized, "I've heard for a long time that Director Li has a very mysterious force behind him. Could it be that, cough cough cough."
As this person spoke, realizing his slip of the tongue, he quickly coughed.
Elder Lan, who had been detached from worldly affairs for many years, frowned in thought for a moment and then quickly walked into the lounge.
He picked up the receiver and called his eldest son, "Ximing, Li Xiangming, chairman of Tiandong Big Refinery, was visiting me when he suddenly received a call. He said his young madam was being harassed in the Yanzi Mountain area. See if you can arrange for someone to go and check it out?"
"Li Xiangming's young madam is in danger? Alright, I'll arrange it immediately."
Lan Ximing immediately realized this was a good opportunity to foster a good relationship with Li Xiangming.
He put down the receiver and was about to get up when he muttered to himself, "This good opportunity should be given to Yunhai."
Nodding, certain of the correctness of his decision, Lan Ximing began to call his son, Lan Yunhai.
"Dad, is there something?"
Lan Yunhai asked on the phone.
Lan Ximing got straight to the point, "Where are you now? No matter where you are, I hope you can rush to the Yanzi Mountain area as quickly as possible."
