“How dare you interfere in the fight between me and Gu Yanqi? Do you have no integrity at all?” Mark hissed, his voice thick with contempt.

As an outlaw himself, Mark was certain that Fu Zhi would not have the guts to kill him, so he added, “When you enter the house, my men will go in as well. I will pull your bones out and use them as an easel and I’ll tear up your skin to make paintings…”

Fu Zhi ignored him and looked around. She could see the house from a distance now, and the mercenaries from Phantom Lord had retreated 100 meters away.

“But before that happens…” She turned back to Mark, slapped him in the face, and said, “I suggest you behave yourself and not do anything stupid. Do you know what the phrase ‘a wise man knows when to quit’ means? I doubt you’ve heard it before, but right now, I’m the boss. I’m the one calling the shots, not you. So shut your d*mn mouth and keep moving.”

The reason Fu Zhi had spared Mark was that she was worried that she might accidentally injure herself during the fight. If she sprained her wrist or got injured, she would not be able to treat Li Nanli anymore.

However, Mark did not know this. He just felt a burning sensation on his cheek after being slapped by Fu Zhi. He gritted his teeth tightly as he swore in his heart that he would definitely kill this girl later.

Meanwhile, Gu Yanqi was walking in front of them. It was 10:30 p.m. right now.

The flashlight illuminated the house on top of the mountain, and Gu Yanqi’s eyes glowed.

Outside the house, Yu Sheng and Jiang Zheng from the Li Family’s Shadow Corps were scouting in the dark.

When they looked in the direction of the light and saw Gu Yanqi, their eyes widened and both of them were stunned. They looked at each other and, after ascertaining that the incoming person was really Gu Yanqi, they hastily went up to him. “Young Master Gu?! Is that really you?”

“Yes, it’s me. Where’s Nanli? How is he now?”

“Young Master Li is in bad shape, and Liu Mi is taking care of him now,” Yu Sheng said. “These sons of b*tches! How dare they ambush us while we were on our way to the banquet! After I get out of here, I swear to G.o.d I will kill every single one of them!”

“That’s right! We—”

Before Jiang Zheng could finish his sentence, he was cut short by Yu Sheng.

“Holy…” He patted Jiang Zheng and pointed at the big guy behind Gu Yanqi. “Isn’t he the one who ambushed us?”

Jiang Yuan lifted his head and saw a scar-faced man with a hideous expression.

“Mark?!”

The moment he recognized the other person, he immediately entered a combat stance, as if he was ready to pounce on Mark at any moment.

Mark let out a scoff and said, “Hmph! You puny brat!”

Then, he received another slap on his cheek.

Mark jerked his head and glared at Fu Zhi.

“You’re too noisy,” Fu Zhi replied flatly.

It was only then that Yu Sheng and Jiang Zheng noticed the midget behind Mark. Although they knew it was rude to call someone a midget, the girl looked really short and pet.i.te as she was standing behind Mark, who was big and burly.

Yu Sheng recognized Fu Zhi as the girl who had appeared at their meeting this morning. With a frown on his face, he asked, “Young Master Gu, what is she doing here?”

‘This is strange. Could Young Master Gu have defeated Mark and asked her to watch over him? But when did Young Master Gu become so powerful?’

There was a myriad of questions in Yu Sheng’s mind.

“It’s a long story,” Gu Yanqi said. Then, he turned to Fu Zhi and asked, “So what are we going to do with him now?”

“Release him.”

This was what Gu Yanqi was thinking as well.

Phantom Lord’s target was Li Nanli, and there was no way they would change their plan even if they lost Mark.

Besides, the terrain in this area was complex, and no one could guarantee a chance of survival without conducting reconnaissance.

Had Fu Zhi not caught him off guard, considering Mark’s ability, they couldn’t possibly have seized Mark so easily. Plus, the effect of the anesthesia was wearing off.

If they kept Mark in the house, not only would they have to look for a way out, but they’d also have to keep their eyes on Mark, not to mention that there was a good chance Mark would break free from the constraints and cause them trouble.

However, Yu Sheng was obviously not on the same page. He asked, “Release him? Do you have any idea how many of our people are dead because of him? How can we release him just like that?”

“That’s right! We must make him pay for everything he’s done!” Jiang Zheng chimed in.

“Then what? Can you two use your brains to think about it? Do you guys think they will let us out of here alive if we really kill him?”

There were two reasons Phantom Lord had not launched a full attack on them. One, they were unsure whether Li Nanli was really wounded or not and they might end up losing even more men if they attacked rashly. Two, they wanted to capture them alive.

However, if something happened to Mark, this bunch of outlaws would feel that they were provoking them and might attack them right away in a fit of rage.

Gu Yanqi looked at both of them coldly. Even though Yu Sheng and Jiang Zheng still did not understand why they were releasing Mark, they could only keep their mouths shut.

Fu Zhi released Mark, who took two steps forward and stretched his body. When he bent his body, something glinted across his eyes and he shouted, “Die, b*tch!”

“Fu Zhi, watch out!”

However, he was too late. The blade tore through the fabric and plunged deep into the girl’s back.

At the same time, Yu Sheng pulled out a dagger and stabbed Mark’s chest.

As if he could not feel any pain, the man staggered, taking two steps back, and flung Yu Sheng away. He wiped the blood off his s.h.i.+rt as a manic grin spread across his face.

n.o.body could take advantage of him. Not even a Chinese girl!

Mark pulled the dagger out of his chest. Although his face was pale, there was a complacent gleam in his eyes.

“Fu Zhi!” Gu Yanqi dashed toward Fu Zhi, his gaze dripping with anger as he glared at Mark. “I’m going to kill you!”

“She’s going to die before me!”

“You really are a noisy man,” Fu Zhi said, stunning the crowd.

She pulled the zipper down expressionlessly and revealed the black bulletproof vest inside.

“I’m a weak, feeble, tiny little girl.” She then added, “Of course I have to wear a bulletproof vest at all times when I’m outside.

“Do you know what a bulletproof vest is? It can even stop a bullet, so do you think your little dagger can pierce it?”

Both Mark and Gu Yanqi did not know what to say.

Fu Zhi took her first-aid kit from Gu Yanqi and glanced at Mark.

“Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you something.”

She threw the gun to Gu Yanqi and added, “There are no bullets in the gun. I’m just a cute little girl, so it’s impossible for me to hold a gun with bullets, right?”

Gu Yanqi tried to pull the trigger, and just as Fu Zhi had said, there were no bullets in the gun.

Bam!

Mark spurted out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

“Young Master Gu…” Jiang Zheng still could not quite come around to his senses and had no clue what he should do now.

“Well, he deserved that. Just remember one thing: Never argue with Fu Zhi. Unless the sun rises from the west, you’ll never be able to defeat her in an argument. Anyway, move him aside. The people from Phantom Lord will come to get him.”
