1673 Here To Catch Her
Yang Yi quickly got out of the car. “Boss, are you going with her?”
Min Yu undid his sleeve b.u.t.ton and rolled it up nonchalantly to reveal his fair slender wrist. He replied mildly. “I’m in a good mood. I’m just here to look around.”
When Yang Yi heard how his boss reacted for the sake of Huo Yao, his lips twitched in disbelief. He kept reminding himself that they were in the region of unrest and it was no small matter!
Even by walking around casually, they could get into trouble!
!!
Yang Yi noticed that his boss did not go toward the mansion. Instead, Min Yu followed a path and walked outside the building. He hurriedly followed behind, but Min Yu raised his hand and interrupted him.
He could only stop and get back into the car.
Ever since Min Yu received treatment for his ailment, his fighting skills had gone back to his prime. Yang Yi was unworried that something might happen to him.

Huo Yao pushed open the rusty metal gate outside the mansion. To be precise, the gate was unlocked.
When she entered the compound, the air smelled moldy and the place had clearly been unoccupied for a long time. A thick layer of dried leaves covered the ground. The dried leaves cracked under her feet as she walked on them.
Huo Yao looked at the large sycamore in the courtyard. The tree was hollow and long dead, so only its dried trunk remained. A mocking smile swept across her face.
Did they want to take her to the same spot?
Were they underestimating her?
Huo Yao veered her eyes and headed to the main entrance with a nonchalant look on her face.
The same went for the metal door outside the main door. It was also unlocked. Huo Yao pushed it gently and the door promptly opened.
Light cast into the house driving away the darkness. Other than the musty smell of mold, there was a very light fragrance in the air.
If no one paid attention and did not have a sharp nose, it was undetectable.
Huo Yao pursed her lips slightly.
She looked up and saw her three senior brothers hanging in mid-air from the second-floor railing.
This was a very old dilapidated building. The railing on the second floor was made of wood. Three men were hanging from it now, so it probably could not hold their weight for long.
Li Chenhui finally spat out the rag stuffed into his mouth. The moment he saw his junior sister standing at the door, he was both delighted and worried.
He threw all his thoughts to the back of his mind and quickly shouted at Huo Yao. “Junior Sister, you have to run. They have guns!”
As Li Chenhui struggled, his body swung in mid-air and a cracking sound could be heard from the second-floor railing.
Li Chenhui’s face turned pale. He was hanging from mid-air, so he was incapable of keeping his balance. He wanted to pretend he was fine, but the look of shock on his face gave his true feelings away.
Wen Ping and Ying Qi were also hanging from mid-air. They were equally scared.
Huo Yao raised her head expressionlessly and looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of the railing on the second floor. She uttered the next set of words mildly. “Shangguan Hou, do you want to die?”
Even though she did not recognize the face, she could tell at a single glance that he was wearing a human skin mask. Also, judging from the vile feeling he was giving her, it was none other than Shangguan Hou.
Shangguan Hou was unsurprised that Huo Yao recognized him. After all, this was not the first time she had encountered him.
Shangguan Hou shook his head and tutted as he retrieved a dagger. The dagger gleamed threateningly as he slowly waved it at the rope holding Li Chenhui and the others. “Between the two of us, who do you think has a death wish?”
