Chapter 40: The tipping point

Everyone’s attention was drawn to this woman. How could a woman have barged in on such a scene? After all, our image was not good, with eight men covered in blood, plus an icy man standing by the luxury car, eyeing them hungrily.

It was a hot day, and it was a shame that she could wear a thin leather jacket, although she was wearing leather shorts underneath.

She took off her helmet, and then, with a very cool gesture, she sat astride the motorcycle, shook her hair, and then, with the various lights around her, I saw that it was a woman who looked very young, with very big eyes, a somewhat fierce look between her brows, two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, and short hair that wasn’t very long, which made her look very capable.

She is very fashionable and beautiful, but her beauty is a bit fierce, so people don’t dare to look directly at her. Her aura is very strong, and it makes people think about what kind of man can conquer such a woman, because none of the people I have met have an aura as strong as hers.

With a loud bang, she casually placed her motorcycle helmet on the motorcycle, then she lightly got off the motorcycle, stepping on her high-heeled short boots, and walked towards us step by step.

The sound of her high-heeled boots clicking was like stepping on people’s hearts. Everyone’s eyes were focused on her. This must be something different from aura鈥攊mposing.

I sensitively noticed that the cold man frowned slightly when he saw this woman come.

This discovery made my heart glad. Could it be that there was still room for a solution to today’s problems?

This woman seemed to have become accustomed to the life of being the focus of everyone’s attention. She didn’t seem to have any burden on her face. Until she reached the center of the field, she spoke up: “First, it’s very chaotic here. These little guys have done a lot. They set fire to the warehouse. This place will definitely become the focus of many forces. I think it’s better to leave. Second, the game of power doesn’t involve the younger generation, does it? Third, I think Yan Yi, you are also an elder, a very great elder, and you are afraid that you have lost your grace by attacking the younger generation, right?

There was no wordy speech, no beating around the bush, no condescending tone, and no arrogance.

If it weren’t for the strange place and manner in which this woman appeared, I would have thought she was an unusually rational business elite. Although I got very little information from her words, and they were very messy, I couldn’t guess her identity any more.

However, I did learn the name of the man, Yan Yi.

Yan Yi? Who is he? I tried to recall, but I can assure you that I have never heard this name from anyone. This woman said that he is an elder, can I analyze that he is also a highly skilled person in the circle? But why are these highly skilled people so low-key?

In response to the woman’s words, the man’s expression changed again, but I couldn’t tell if he was angry or happy. I always felt that he was just a rock that had been moved a little, and there was no trace of emotion.

He moved, and the deep blue silk Tang suit gently danced with his footsteps, even containing a strange rhythm. I widened my eyes. This was the true influence of his aura on the material!

To put it in a more mystical way, his own Dao was already contained in every move he made.

At this point, the vague feeling on his body gradually disappeared, and I could see his face clearly. He was a man with clear lines on his face, like a carved axe, but the lines on his face did not give him a masculine look, but rather an indescribable majesty.

His hair was long and tied in a ponytail that hung loosely behind his head. The black hair was mixed with wisps of white hair, as if it had been specially dyed that way. It wasn’t ugly, but it had a different kind of style.

“My side of the forces have warned him many times, you know who he is! Moreover, before he arrived here, my younger brother personally gave him a reminder, but this young man was too arrogant and didn’t take it seriously.” The man spoke, his voice was not emotional, but his tone was deep and his words were particularly clear. At first, it sounded like the news broadcast.

However, although he said it calmly, I could tell that he was referring to me. At this time, the old man who was carrying Zhao Hong walked over to me and whispered to me, “Chengyi, Zhao Hong’s injuries are quite serious. If we delay, it will be very serious.”

After Hui Gen performed the secret technique, it may have been time, and she began to lean weakly against me.

The situation of our group was not optimistic, and the raging fire behind us had already passed through the shutter door and reached our side, making it hot and irritating. Thick black smoke had also risen, and I believed that someone would soon discover the situation here.

“I’m afraid this isn’t the place for us to talk. Wait two minutes, I’ll speak up. I think that woman is here to help us,” I whispered to Lao Hui.

The aura of these two people is too special. I know that this is not a conversation we can interfere with, and we don’t have a say in it. I have long since passed the time of youthful impulsiveness. At that time, I might have ignored the noise and wanted to leave to save my friends.

But now, at least I know how to assess the situation.

After the man named Yan Yi finished speaking, he didn’t even look at us, but stared at the woman. The woman’s expression didn’t change at all. She said calmly and composedly, “You can continue. I am fair.”

I had a vague feeling that this seemingly cold man had a domineering streak in his bones, but he was a little afraid of this woman.

“I don’t care about this young man. Since this is a power game, my idea is simple. As long as he doesn’t go too far, I can tolerate him. But today you saw that he led his men to burn down our important warehouse. I’m giving you face, but how far do you think you can go? He thinks that he has the support of the higher-level departments of China, so he can’t put me in his eyes? We never interfere with the affairs and forces of the Chinese side, which means that we do not recognize supervision either. Everything is just a matter of the circle. This young man is too ignorant of the situation. ” Then Yan Yi continued, and every sentence was directed at me.

“Haha…” the woman laughed and then said, “No one can ignore China or the higher-ups. As a cultivator, you can’t possibly not understand the general trend. You’re being a bit arrogant, aren’t you?”

This woman is calm and rational, and she talks eloquently, leaving no room for argument.

“The point is, when will that young man be able to enter my eyes? Jenny, your face is valuable, but it’s not valuable enough for me to swallow my anger. Don’t blur the point.” Yan Yi’s tone was still emotionless, just like the news broadcast, but the literal meaning was already very confrontational.

I was stunned. Jenny, Jenny, that name was so familiar. Where had I heard it before? The battle had been so intense that my mind was not very clear. At this moment, I desperately tried to calm myself down.

Suddenly I remembered, Jiang Yi, the head of the department, mentioned a name to me! Jenny, Jenny, the big sister! I thought it was nonsense at the time, but it turns out that she really exists. Jenny is real, she is right in front of me!

My throat was dry, and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva. I really wanted to say something, but I found that the momentum of these two people was so overwhelming that I didn’t even have the chance to open my mouth. I always felt that if I opened my mouth, I would be overwhelmed by the momentum of these two people.

Facing Yan Yi’s confrontation, Jenny was still very calm. She said lightly, “Then what? What are you going to do?”

“I won’t let him die. A very important person under my command begged me to spare his life! So, I will spare his life. If I kill him, I will lose the support of a very important person under my command, and it’s not worth it. So…” Yan Yi paused here.

“So what?” Jenny looked like she was listening attentively.

“So the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is hard to escape,” Yan Yi said.

Jenny didn’t say a word after hearing this, and turned to walk towards the motorcycle. Did she give her tacit consent?

I suddenly became nervous. Jiang Yi had told me that I could intervene because I would not die, that someone would protect me, and that it was because of our family connections. He had specifically mentioned Jenny.

Jenny will protect my life, but Yan Yi didn’t say he would kill me, he just said I would suffer a lot. In fact, I know that those great-great-grandfathers are very eccentric and don’t bother to get involved in the world. It’s not strange if Jenny would acquiesce.

Moreover, their emotions are like the calm surface of a lake, with no waves. They only care about what they care about. For example, Jenny may care about my life, but she may not necessarily care about the lives of the people around me. This is normal.

So I was very nervous. I clenched my fists and whispered to Lao Hui, “As soon as Jenny leaves, I’m going to fight to the death. Yan Yi said he wouldn’t kill me, so he won’t kill me. You guys run.”

This is better than the original choice. At least I know I won’t die!

The sound of heels on the ground, the sound of Jenny’s footsteps, just like when she first came, still moved everyone’s heart. The atmosphere had reached a critical point at this point. I quietly reached into the yellow bag, where there were still pills, and I still had a trump card after so many years…
