Chapter 141: You Are!

"Hold off on acting for now?"

Ke Le, who was in the driver's seat, heard that and looked at Jiang Cheng with puzzlement.

"Kid, you don't actually intend to let them live, do you? That guy Yue Shan is the Wild Wolf Gang leader, has killed countless people; you know better than we do that his wife and daughter also deserve to die. Oh, I get it."

Ke Le gave a meaning‑laden smile, "You plan to use them as hostages to force him to hand over the money? Hahaha, with Sister Ye Ying, this whole scheme is unnecessary. Sister Ye Ying is a Spiritual Thought Master; hypnotizing an ordinary person is a piece of cake."

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

Thinking about it, that does seem plausible.

A Spiritual Thought Master can control others; that aligns with common sense.

"Is that so?"

Ye Ying turned her head and asked.

"That's one of the reasons."

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Even a tiger won't eat its cubs; no matter how evil a person is, they still care about family. Using them could indeed extract more money from the other side."

"And the other reason?"

"The other reason is that I think Yue Shan's wife and daughter might not know about his deeds; even if they do, their actions would be limited. Of course, whether they know or not, as Yue Shan's relatives, having enjoyed the benefits of his wrongdoing, they must bear the corresponding repercussions. However, that repercussion shouldn't be as severe as death."

If Yue Shan dies, and they also seize the other party's assets, Yue Shan's family will find it hard to continue living here; maintaining their previous standard of living is even a pipe dream.

Such suffering is probably more painful than killing them.

"Kid, you …"

Ke Le was speechless.

Ye Ying thought seriously for a moment, nodded, "What you said does have some merit, and this time it's also your mission, so I can agree to you. However, I need to warn you: if you spare their lives, they may not be able to do anything to you, but your family are just ordinary people, and that's uncertain."

Jiang Cheng was taken aback.

Yeah, even though I'm wearing a mask, what if… Even if not for myself, think about my family.

Uprooting the weeds seems the best choice.

"No rush, think it over first," Ye Ying said calmly.

……

At that same moment, to the right‑front of Yue Shan's villa, inside another mansion, a silhouette also watched this place through a back window.

Inside, there was no light, but faintly one could see a few people, each seemingly holding a gun.

"Big brother, when do we act? The brothers have been waiting two or three days," one of them muttered, looking toward the man by the window.

"Yeah, that guy is the Wild Wolf Gang Gang Leader. I heard when he left, he swiped a massive haul in the Poor District, probably over a million on his person."

"A million, that'll be enough for us to buy plenty of Secret Medicine, and even a few Heaven Martial techniques."

"Heaven Martial? You kid really dare to think that. First, get all the Acupoints of the Human Weapon technique you're training fully opened, then we'll talk."

Loud laughter erupted inside the room.

"Hold on."

The man by the window spoke slowly.

"Isn't this to infiltrate here, which took some time? We also need to figure out that guy's habits; once everything is ready, striking later won't be too late."

"Big brother, when will we be ready?"

"Hehe."

The man by the window smiled, "When the lights in that living room go out, we'll move."

!!!

Hearing that, a few inside almost jumped for joy.

"Lao San, when the time comes opening the door will be on you."

"Don't worry, it's on me," the man who was addressed pounded his chest.

"Once we get inside, first eliminate the two men inside, then pry from that guy Yue Shan's mouth where he hid the money; after taking the cash, kill him. Yue Shan's wife is quite attractive, we'll take her away; the brothers will have a good thrill."

"He also seems to have a ten‑year‑old daughter."

"Damn, you won't even spare the little girl? No humanity? Though it's not impossible."

Laughter rang again. The person crouching by the window also showed a smile.

Women are just that; what he cared more about was the money on the other side.

After finishing this job, we won't have to work for at least two or three months.

But the next second, his smile froze.

Because he saw two silhouettes heading toward Yue Shan's front door.

In the night light, the two wore masks on their faces, emitting a faint glow.

"Not good."

He let out a low call.

"What?"

The few nearby changed color upon hearing that.

"Someone acted first."

The man's expression turned grim as he said.

"What?"

Several rushed to the window; indeed, the two silhouettes had already reached Yue Shan's front door, unknown what they were doing.

"What do we do, big brother? Should we fire first and kill that bastard?"

"What a joke, after all the prep they did, someone beats them to it? 'Open your big‑head ghost!'"

Someone beside him kicked him, "Shooting now, is it to warn the people inside?"

"So are we just going to watch like this?"

"How about we charge over too? Damn it, there are five of us, five guns, Lao Wu still has a sniper rifle in his hands— even if a fourth- to five-level Force Warrior comes, we'll crush him!"

"Don't rush."

The leading man squinted.

"First, let's see the situation."

Honestly, he doesn't really understand what those two are doing.

If they're comrades, the living‑room light is still on; going in now, and if someone fires inside, the gunshots will alert the guards—wouldn't that be walking into a trap?

If they're not comrades, who would a respectable person wear a mask?

Standing at the doorway, of course, are Jiang Cheng and Ye Ying.

Listening to the voices from inside, Jiang Cheng felt a bit nervous, first activating the Iron Wall Talisman, then placing his hand at his waist.

Ye Ying spread her palm, and steel needles floated in the air, one by one.

The people inside continued chatting and laughing, not noticing at all that the lock on the main door was gradually opening, as if an invisible hand were unlocking it from within.

Then a crisp "Click!" sounded, startling the few people eating in the living room.

A look of confusion appeared in their eyes; they couldn't understand why the perfectly fine door had opened.

In the next instant, the door was pushed open, and at the same time, several piercing sounds rang out.

The two men inside, still unaware of what had happened, had their necks instantly pierced by several steel needles; they couldn't even utter a sound before collapsing into a pool of blood, their legs thrashing helplessly.

They were Yue Shan's two henchmen.

At the table there were three more people: a man in his forties with slightly graying temples, a woman in her thirties dressed elegantly, and a ten‑year‑old little girl.

The three were still a bit stunned, not even noticing the steel needles hovering before them.

The door closed.

Jiang Cheng and Ye Ying walked in.

"You! Who are you!"

Yue Shan finally reacted, his face instantly drained of color.
