"Aunt Li, you go up alone with the bag first. I'll follow closely behind you.
As long as you do as I taught you, I will help you rescue Jingjing."
Du Fei cautioned Li Su'e again.
Li Su'e took a deep breath and nodded vigorously at Du Fei.
Then, Li Su'e turned around and walked towards a two-story building not far away.
That small building was the agreed-upon payment location by Huang Yikai.
On the phone, Huang Yikai had told Li Su'e that as long as she brought one hundred thousand yuan, he would return her daughter unharmed.
As she neared the building, Li Su'e's phone rang.
"Huang Yikai, I brought the money. Please don't hurt Jingjing."
After answering the call, Li Su'e spoke first.
Huang Yikai on the other end of the line shouted, "Li Su'e, you didn't call the police, did you? I warn you, if you call the police or anyone else comes with you, I will definitely take your daughter down with me!"
"I'm downstairs, don't do anything rash. I just want to take my daughter and leave safely. I haven't called the police, and I have the money you asked for."
Upon hearing Huang Yikai threaten to harm her daughter, Li Su'e immediately replied.
However, what Li Su'e didn't know was that Huang Yikai had been watching her from above while on the phone.
He was afraid Li Su'e would call the police, so he stood on the upper floor, constantly looking around.
Just as he had said, if Li Su'e dared to call the police, he wouldn't hesitate to kill her.
In Huang Yikai's mind, only money was his closest relative.
Soon, Li Su'e appeared on the second floor of the building, carrying her bag.
"Open the bag and let me see the money inside."
Huang Yikai pointed at Li Su'e by the door and gave the order.
Just as Li Su'e was about to open the bag, she suddenly remembered Du Fei's instructions and stopped.
"Where is Jingjing? Where is she?"
Huang Yikai's eyes widened. "Li Su'e, you dare to disobey me now? Are you trying to get your daughter killed?"
"I can give you the money in the bag, but only after I see my daughter and confirm she's safe. Otherwise, I won't give you a cent!"
Although Li Su'e was very scared, she firmly remembered what Du Fei had told her.
Seeing Li Su'e's persistence, and combined with his earlier observation that there were no signs of anyone else appearing, Huang Yikai snorted and opened the door behind him, walking inside.
A moment later, Huang Yikai returned.
"Jingjing!"
Seeing the person Huang Yikai was holding was her daughter, Li Jing, Li Su'e cried out and lunged forward.
"Mom!"
Upon hearing Li Su'e's voice, Li Jing couldn't help but cry out excitedly.
Her daughter's cry struck Li Su'e to the core, making her wish she could take her place.
But Huang Yikai grabbed Li Jing's arm and pointed at Li Su'e with his other hand. "Stop! You've seen her now, open the bag quickly. If you try any more tricks, don't blame me for being heartless!"
After speaking, Huang Yikai placed his hand on Li Jing's neck, as if preparing to apply pressure.
"Okay, okay, don't hurt Jingjing."
Seeing her daughter safe, Li Su'e immediately unzipped the bag.
However, what was inside when the zipper opened shocked both Li Su'e and Huang Yikai.
"How could this be?"
"Good! You dare to lie to me, I'll kill this girl and then I'll kill you!"
As it turned out, the bag was filled with medical books, not money at all.
Thinking Li Su'e had deceived him, Huang Yikai, in a fit of rage, pulled out a dagger from his waist and was about to attack.
"No!"
Seeing this, Li Su'e's heart shattered.
But at that moment, a dark shadow flashed before Li Su'e's eyes.
*Clang.*
*Clatter.*
The sound of metal striking metal echoed, followed by Huang Yikai's dagger falling to the ground. Beside the dagger, a stone the size of a coin appeared.
"Ah! My hand!"
Huang Yikai screamed, clutching his wrist.
"Jingjing."
"Mom!"
Although she didn't know why Huang Yikai had dropped his dagger and was screaming, Li Su'e, concerned for her daughter, rushed towards Li Jing. She didn't consider what would happen if Huang Yikai suddenly attacked.
At that moment, her only thought was to protect her daughter.
Li Jing was held tightly in Li Su'e's arms, and mother and daughter wept uncontrollably.
"Aunt Li, take Jingjing to the car and wait for me. Leave this to me."
At this point, Du Fei, who had accompanied Li Su'e, appeared at the doorway.
As he walked in, he said to Li Su'e, who was holding Li Jing.
Li Su'e guessed then that Huang Yikai's strange behavior was likely related to Du Fei.
However, for her, as long as her daughter was safe, nothing else mattered.
Nodding, Li Su'e left with Li Jing.
Du Fei slowly walked towards Huang Yikai.
Despite the pain in his hand, Huang Yikai gritted his teeth and picked up the dagger from the ground with his other hand as Du Fei approached.
"It's you again, kid! You ruined my plans again! Go to hell!"
Huang Yikai's face was contorted with rage. He looked as ferocious as a demon from hell.
But in the next second, Du Fei used only two fingers to pinch the dagger Huang Yikai swung at him.
*Ting.*
Without any visible effort from Du Fei, the blade of Huang Yikai's dagger broke in half from the middle.
"What's the point of giving you ten knives? Scum like you are destined to be useless."
Du Fei casually threw the broken half of the blade onto the ground.
Huang Yikai stared at the scene, dumbfounded.
Catching a blade with his bare hands and then breaking a dagger made of fine steel?
Who was this young man?
Was he even human? This was terrifying.
"You, what are you going to do?"
Huang Yikai finally realized that Du Fei was someone he could never defeat, no matter how hard he tried.
As Du Fei walked closer, Huang Yikai's hands and feet began to tremble, and his voice grew shaky.
But to Huang Yikai's surprise, Du Fei walked up to him and simply patted him on the shoulder twice.
Huh?
What did this guy mean?
He patted him twice and then left without even looking at him. What was he doing?
Huang Yikai had expected that since Du Fei was helping Li Su'e, he would do something to him.
But he never expected Du Fei to just pat his shoulder like an ordinary friend and then leave.
Hmph, that bitch Li Su'e dared to play tricks on him. He would definitely get revenge.
After Du Fei left, Huang Yikai, after a brief moment of fear, started plotting to do something bad again.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt his hands becoming weak. A few minutes later, he realized he couldn't exert any strength in his arms, and then his legs gave out, causing him to collapse onto the ground.
"Ah!"
Huang Yikai let out a scream.
