My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 572: Chapter 571: Storm Changes, Trap! (Second Update)

The night was shrouded in darkness.

All around was eerily quiet.

The whole city seemed to have gone into a dormant state. No one knew that something earth-shattering was about to happen tonight for Yanshang Country!

A line of cars drove into a desolate wilderness.

All the vehicles came to a halt.

The headlights illuminated the darkness.

Everyone got out of the cars.

Song Zhizhi was among them.

She strode towards Jun Mingyu, who in turn quickened his pace towards Ji Baijian at the front.

At that moment, Ji Baijian was holding Leng Wanqing hostage.

Standing opposite them were Jun Mingxi and Song Zhidao, along with many weapon-carrying members of the Corpse Organization.

Song Zhidao was bound by one of the corpses, a gun pointed at his head.

The sight of the arrival seemed to excite him somewhat.

Seeing Song Zhizhi, he became somewhat flustered, “Sister! Sister!”

Song Zhizhi gave him a look, asking him to stay calm.

Song Zhidao got the message and tried hard to calm himself.

Seeing Leng Wanqing and Jun Mingfeng appear, Jun Mingxi became tense as well.

Leng Wanqing gave her a look.

Jun Mingxi nodded.

The two stand-off groups.

Leng Wanqing said, “Ye Shengheng, can we exchange them now?”

Ji Baijian’s gaze went to Song Zhidao.

Song Zhidao also looked at Ji Baijian.

“Let Jun Mingxi take Song Zhidao out.” Ji Baijian ordered.

Leng Wanqing nodded and shouted to Jun Mingxi, “Mingxi, take Song Zhidao and go.”

“Yes.” Jun Mingxi quickly nodded.

At that moment, Ji Baijian, along with Leng Wanqing and the similarly apprehensive Jun Mingfeng who had a weapon pointed at him, walked towards the middle of the two groups.

“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi stepped forward and hugged him from behind.

Ji Baijian tensed his body.

Leng Wanqing, watching Song Zhizhi’s gesture,

felt… a rush of jealousy.

Her cruel eyes flickered.

Standing on her toes, Song Zhizhi whispered into Ji Baijian’s ear.

Her voice was very soft.

Leng Wanqing couldn’t hear it.

But she saw their intimate movements in full.

Having finished speaking,

she leaned in and kissed him, “I’ll wait for your comeback.”

Ji Baijian nodded.

Song Zhizhi stepped back a few steps.

Ji Baijian again held Leng Wanqing hostage and cautiously began to walk towards the middle.

Leng Wanqing sneered, “Ye Shengheng, do you really like Song Zhizhi?”

Ji Baijian didn’t answer.

“What’s so good about her?” Leng Wanqing bitterly spat out, “I was not less attractive than her back then.”

Ji Baijian still didn’t reply.

“In the end, why don’t you like me but like Song Zhizhi! What do I lack compared to her?!” Not getting any response, Leng Wanqing became somewhat agitated.

She could accept Ye Shengheng’s death, but she couldn’t accept him being in love with any other woman!

“There’s no reason, you either like someone or you don’t, and you either love someone or you don’t.” Ji Baijian replied coldly.

“Like is like, love is love?” Leng Wanqing sneered, “For this woman, you’re willing to give up your life! And to avoid being with me, you’re still willing to give up your life. Ye Shengheng, if you die again, will you regret it? Will you regret not choosing me?”

“No regrets.” Ji Baijian said bluntly, “If you don’t have feelings for someone, you won’t develop them no matter what.”

Leng Wanqing’s eyes reddened.

After so many years, although she had long passed the age of having romantic feelings, his words still hurt her, making her wish to kill this man and make him pay!

She gave a cold laugh.

For the first time, she could finally kill Ye Shengheng, leaving no trace of him.

Now was that moment!

What she couldn’t have, no one else could!

Her gaze tightened.

Everyone stopped at a distance just one step away.

“Let go of my mother!” Jun Mingxi demanded fiercely.

Ji Baijian’s gaze turned to Song Zhidao again.

Song Zhidao nodded.

“On the count of three, we let go together,” Ji Baijian said.

“Okay.” Jun Mingxi agreed without hesitation.

“Three, two, one…”

Ji Baijian released Leng Wanqing and Jun Mingfeng.

Jun Mingxi also let go of Song Zhidao.

After they let go,

both sides started walking forward.

Everyone was extremely tense, anxiously watching this scene unfold.

Song Zhizhi, standing not too far away, watched as her little brother took step by step towards Ji Baijian, neither too fast nor too slow, as if afraid to startle something.

Song Zhizhi didn’t dare to blink her eyes. She watched Ji Baijian and her little brother.

Song Zhidao… please don’t let her down!

It felt like an eternity had passed, but in reality, it only took a few seconds.

Song Zhidao finally reached Ji Baijian’s side.

Leng Wanqing finally reached Jun Mingxi’s side.

Just as the exchange was completed,

Leng Wanqing suddenly laughed wildly, “Ye Shengheng, go to hell!”

As her words fell,

Song Zhidao suddenly pulled out a gun from behind and fired it straight at Ji Baijian’s chest.

“Bang!”

The shot struck Ji Baijian directly in the chest.

Ji Baijian immediately covered his wound, collapsing to the ground.

At the same time,

everyone rushed forward.

The scene erupted with countless gunshots.

Song Zhizhi frantically ran towards Ji Baijian, watching as he fell on the ground.

At this moment, Wei Ziming and Luo Xiaolang also quickly ran over. Wei Ziming helped Ji Baijian up from the ground and quickly fled the scene.

Luo Xiaolang protected Song Zhizhi as they ran towards the car.

Song Zhizhi turned her head and saw that Song Zhidao was heading towards Leng Wanqing…

Her eyes turned blood red, at that moment she really didn’t know what emotion to feel. She just watched his steps, Song Zhidao’s unwavering steps.

Luo Xiaolang protected Song Zhizhi as they got into the car.

After helping Ji Baijian into the car, Wei Ziming quickly returned to the driver’s seat and drove off!

The sounds of firearms and ammunition echoed behind them.

Wei Ziming drove at a high speed. More vehicles and people flocked from all around, all of them covertly part of Leng Wanqing’s Underground Corpse Organization stationed here.

“Ji Baijian, how are you?” Song Zhizhi leaned towards Ji Baijian.

His face was pale.

Ji Baijian coughed violently a few times, sat up straight, and opened his clothes to reveal a bullet on his bulletproof vest.

“Ji Baijian…”

“I’m okay…”

“Ah!” The vehicle jolted violently.

Several cars crazily crashed into their vehicle, chasing after them relentlessly.

“Brother Ziming.” Song Zhizhi grabbed Ji Baijian and watched Wei Ziming, who was driving!

Wei Ziming tried to maintain absolute calmness, speeding up as he saw the chasing cars in the rearview mirror.

He floored the accelerator without hesitation.

All passengers could feel the mad sprint of the car impressed upon their bodies.

“Bloody hell, in front!” A man in the passenger seat suddenly screamed.

Wei Ziming’s heart skipped a beat.

He quickly swerved.

Their speed was too high, and the sudden swerve caused the car to roll down off the steep highway slope.

The vehicle rolled down the steep slope non-stop.

In that moment, Ji Baijian tightly held Song Zhizhi in his arms.

The others all adopted the best posture to protect themselves, bracing for the continuing collision impact.

The vehicle finally stopped after an unknown period.

The moment it stopped, there was no time to pause.

Weiming took out a safety hammer and smashes the window in order to scramble out.

After climbing out, he then smashed the rest of the windows to help the others escape.

Lou Xiaolang was the first to climb out, then along with Ji Baijian they both carried Song Zhizhi out. Soon after, Ji Baijian also clambered out.

“God damn… my bones are about to break,” a voice filled with pain echoed in the dark night after everyone had emerged.

Everyone turned to him.

Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but ask, “Yin Qin, why are you here?”

“Why can’t I be here?” Yin Qin retorted unhappily.

He knew all along that they had been keeping something from him, and something was going to happen.

Turns out something big really did occur.

Luckily, he got a hunch tonight. After parting ways with Lou Xiaolang, instead of returning home, he secretly tailed Lou Xiaolang and followed him when the latter left. He waited anxiously outside the grand mansion, until he saw Wei Ziming and stubbornly insisted on getting into the vehicle. Then, he tagged along with them.

“Someone is coming, let’s move!” Lou Xiaolang urged.

Her hearing was superior to the others’, allowing her to hear footsteps from afar.

At this moment, there was no time to deal with Yin Qin. Everyone quickly moved out.

The place they fell into was a grove of trees. The pitch darkness of the night made it easy for them to hide in the woods,

but they couldn’t afford to loiter, so they kept moving deeper into the woods.

They walked for a long time.

Only when Lou Xiaolang was convinced that no one was following them did she find a hidden spot behind a rock where they could rest.

“Finally, we can rest for a bit,” Yin Qin sighed as he dropped onto the ground, “I feel like my calves don’t even belong to me anymore.”

No one responded.

In this tense atmosphere, no one dared to relax.

“Just a question, did anyone get hurt? We rolled down such a high slope, so did anyone get injured?” Yin Qin asked.

“I’m fine”, Wei Ziming responded.

“I’m okay too” Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian chimed in.

Lou Xiaolang sat a little further away as she needed to listen for any approaching footsteps.

“Lou Xiaolang, are you injured?” Yin Qin asked casually.

“No” Lou Xiaolang replied coolly.

Yin Qin mumbled to himself, “What kind of superhuman bodies do you guys have.”

Still, nobody answered him.

He finally said, “I’m injured. My leg is covered in blood.”

The atmosphere, which was already tense, became more tense because of Yin Qin’s words.

Everyone looked at him.

Yin Qin, feeling the weight of their gazes, muttered, “It should be blood.”

Ji Baijian quickly let go of Song Zhizhi, took out his cellphone, and used its faint light to examine Yin Qin’s leg.

His leg was indeed covered in blood.

Ji Baijian frowned slightly, “Why didn’t you say something earlier?”

“I didn’t want to slow you down…” Yin Qin was somewhat aggrieved.

As Ji Baijian crouched down to examine his leg, he turned and asked Wei Ziming, “Do you have a knife?”

“What’re you going to do?!” Yin Qin was frightened.

“There’s a large chunk of metal lodged in your leg. If we don’t remove it, you’re looking at an amputation.”

“…” He was terrified of pain.

Lou Xiaolang walked over from the side, “I carried an emergency first aid kit.”

“First, take out the metal piece from Yin Qin’s leg..” Ji Baijian instructed Lou Xiaolang.

“Okay.” Lou Xiaolang nodded.

She took out a sharp scalpel.

Yin Qin was scared at the sight of it.

He asked, “Do we have any anesthesia?”

“No.”

“I’m afraid of pain.”

“Endure it.”

“I…don’t want…” Yin Qin shuddered at the sight of the gleaming scalpel.

The thought of the scalpel digging into his flesh made his whole body quiver in fright.

Ji Baijian sterilized the blade quickly and told Lou Xiaolang, “Stuff a piece of cloth in his mouth and have him bite it; you hold his body.”

“Okay.”

“No, no! Ji Baijian, don’t do this… Can’t we just go to the hospital when we get back… I need anesthesia….mmph..” Yin Qin’s mouth was swiftly stuffed with a cloth.

He was unable to speak anymore.

Struggling in vain, Lou Xiaolang wrapped him up like a twisted pretzel, rendering him unable to move.

And then came the next second.

He felt an agonizing pain in his leg, as if it was about to kill him!

It seemed like Ji Baijian was cutting his flesh and digging his bone. He couldn’t handle the pain and was on the verge of passing out.

It seemed like forever before it was over.

Sweat covered his face and body, his complexion sickly pale.

Lou Xiaolang finally let him go.

After he was released, his body could no longer support itself and he collapsed on the ground.

He gasped for breath.

He was afraid that the next second, he would no longer be able to breathe the air in this world.

Ji Baijian removed the metal piece from Yin Qin’s body, stitched up the wounds, and bandaged it up, then he addressed everyone, “We will set off again in half an hour!”

Every minute they stayed put increased their danger.

At this moment, what was most important was to escape and meet up with Jun Mingyu!
