Killing Liang Yong, this scoundrel who had committed every atrocity, brought great relief to Fang Yi’s heart.
As for Liang Yong’s subordinates, each of them looked at Fang Yi as if they’d seen a ghost, filled with immense fear. They retreated one by one, some even harboring thoughts of jumping into the river.
Fang Yi glanced at them and said indifferently, "Do you want to live or die?"
At first, there was profound silence, then one man knelt down, clearly begging Fang Yi for mercy.
With this lead, the others from the AXE GANG followed suit and knelt down.
Fang Yi was slightly satisfied. Although these people were accomplices, he couldn’t kill them now—after all, this was Xuan Cang. Killing too many would bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble. Fang Yi planned to hand these people over to the law. Given their crimes, the law would not let them off easily.
Not too far from where the big river met the sea, a large boat was quietly floating on the surface.
This boat was about ten meters in length and three to four meters wide—neither big nor small; it was just an ordinary fishing boat.
However, on this fishing boat, there was not a single fisherman; simply put, none of them were good people.
Song Haoyue stood at the bow, hands behind his back, gazing toward the mouth where the river met the sea, and frowning, he said, "I don’t know what it is, but my eyelids are twitching quite a bit."
Yan Yingnan comforted him, saying, "It’s nothing. Didn’t Liang Yong say that although they were chased by Fang Yi, they shook him off and most of the girls were brought out?"
Song Haoyue stared out at the sea in the night, silent, his eyes suddenly revealing a shadowy depth: "This Fang Yi! Once this is over, I’ll make sure he regrets it deeply!"
Yan Yingnan said, "But this Fang Yi is really not easy to deal with..." She didn’t want Song Haoyue to be too impulsive.
Song Haoyue sneered, "Humph! If he’s not easy to deal with, then I will deal with those around him! That Bai Jingjing, that Shen Binnan, I’d like to see just how capable he is by himself."
This incident had infuriated Song Haoyue to the extreme. If not for his extraordinarily calm demeanor, he would have already been raging uncontrollably.
That villa was Song Haoyue’s source of wealth, but it had been ruined by Fang Yi.
As the saying goes, cutting off one’s means of livelihood is like killing one’s parents. Song Haoyue had attained his position through these means. Although not honorable, these were everything to him, and he would not allow them to be damaged by anyone else.
Now, however, someone had come and damaged them, raging waves surged in Song Haoyue’s heart, unceasing furiously.
"Look, they’re coming!" Yan Yingnan had martial arts training; hence, her vision was better than Song Haoyue’s.
In the distance, three small yachts were speeding towards them. Song Haoyue’s spirits lifted, and he watched the area intently.
Yan Yingnan bowed, instructing the crew to lower the rope ladder to receive people coming aboard.
The fishing boat bustled, lights bright, noisy and clamorous.
Seeing the three yachts, Song Haoyue’s heart relaxed, and he sneered coldly to himself: "Fang Yi, you still lost."
At that moment, besides the sneer, there was triumph on Song Haoyue’s face, his lips curling into a sinister and arrogant smile. His sharp gaze seemed to disregard everything, focusing solely on himself.
As the speedboat approached closer, Song Haoyue suddenly saw a figure, and his eyes, usually so astute, widened in shock, the smug look on his face replaced by astonishment.
On the speedboat, Fang Yi stood, his face wearing a half-smile.
Song Haoyue took a step back in surprise, unable to believe that Fang Yi would appear on the speedboat.
"Right, where’s Liang Yong? Why haven’t I seen him?"
Song Haoyue felt as if his heart had been hammered fiercely, barely keeping his balance. What did this mean? Everything indicated that Fang Yi could find this place because Liang Yong was already dead.
And now, the reason he had come here was to seek trouble with Song Haoyue.
The situation had reversed so quickly that Song Haoyue found it hard to accept for a moment.
Just then, Yan Yingnan had finished issuing orders and walked to the bow of the ship. When she spotted Fang Yi on the speedboat, she was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Start the boat! Hurry, start the boat!"
However, a large fishing boat was impossible to set into motion instantly. Even if it started moving, could it outpace the speedboat?
By this time, the speedboat had already approached, and Fang Yi was not in a rush to board. Instead, he repeated his previous tactic, throwing a rope with a dagger attached and latching onto the fishing boat.
"Song Haoyue, bet you didn’t expect, I’d show up here," Fang Yi said with a smile. With the Blood Dragon Guards’ surveillance, it wasn’t surprising that Fang Yi and Cai Qin had found this place.
Yan Yingnan stepped forward with a knife, ready to cut the rope.
"Do you believe that I can board before you cut the rope?" Fang Yi mocked.
Yan Yingnan snorted coldly, not believing him, but Song Haoyue held her back.
Song Haoyue calmly said, "Fang Yi, I admit, you’ve won this round, but I can assure you, in the next round, you will suffer a dreadful defeat. Those women associated with you—I will not spare a single one."
Fang Yi suddenly scoffed, "Song Haoyue, you think I’d let you go after committing such monstrous acts?"
Song Haoyue’s handsome face turned red in an instant. The murderous intent in Fang Yi’s words was clear to anyone. As for whether Song Haoyue wanted to die? The answer was no; Song Haoyue cherished his life and certainly did not want to die.
"Fang Yi, if I come out of this unscathed, you’ll regret it," Song Haoyue thought of retreating and looked towards Yan Yingnan.
"Haoyue, you go first, I’ll cover you," Yan Yingnan said, pursing her lips.
Song Haoyue simply responded and turned to leave without another word.
Yan Yingnan suddenly felt a pang in her heart. He had left just like that, without any extra words, not even a word of comfort. Was he really that heartless?
But... who made her love him so much?
Love doesn’t need reasons or causes; it’s based purely on feelings.
With a determined expression, Yan Yingnan faced Fang Yi and said, "Fang Yi, come on, if you want to kill him, you’ll have to get past me first."
Fang Yi casually said, "Song Haoyue didn’t even bother to say goodbye to you as he left, don’t you think you’ve misjudged him?"
Yan Yingnan sneered, "Don’t think you can defeat me with words! Fang Yi, if you are a man, fight me fair and square!"
Fang Yi smiled and replied, "Alright."
Yan Yingnan’s eyes brightened.
But in the next moment, Fang Yi said, "Cai Qin, go stop him."
Cai Qin smiled and nodded. Yan Yingnan’s expression changed instantly—she had intended to tie Fang Yi down so he couldn’t chase after Song Haoyue. But she hadn’t expected another woman to interfere, and from her perspective, it was effortless for Cai Qin to deal with Song Haoyue.
