I'm bailing you out

"You bitch!" He growled against her ear.

She tried to use her elbows to hit his ribs and bend to gain access to hit his balls, but the man got angrier and slammed her body forcefully against the sink, ridding her of the remaining air in her lungs. Her face contorted into one of pain. In fact, there was a dull, searing pang on her left hip.

"You should just f*cking die!" He yelled. He rammed her again to the sink, and she could almost feel herself faint from the pain.

Ying Yue still tried to struggle, but her face was getting redder with each passing second, and her vision started to blur. No, she couldn't pass out now. She had to do everything she can to get out of here.

However, she hardly had any strength left, and when he squeezed her neck even more, her hands gradually fell limply to her sides. Her body became heavy, and she slunk lower.

The man struggled to keep lifting her up, but she didn't have the strength to keep standing anymore, and she fell to the ground in a heap. "Hey!" Since he had her in a choke hold, he was carried with her to the tiled floor.

But in less than a split second, Ying Yue moved, pulling off the knife strapped to his boot and plunging the dagger straight on to his neck.

The knife sliced through the man's jugular, and when she twisted the cold steel, blood spurted in all directions, marking Ying Yue's face and clothes. Within just a few seconds, the man lost his grip on her, and he landed on the floor with a loud thud. Dark red blood pooled at her feet.

Ying Yue panted, crawling away from him with heavy breaths.

She held on to the sink and lifted herself up, staring at her reflection on the mirror for a brief moment. Her long, flowing hair was a bit of a mess, and the thin pajamas she wore was damp with sweat and blood. Her face, in particular, was flushed, and her cheek was splattered with the man's blood. She wiped it off with her forearm, but it still left a swipe of red on her face. She looked far from the pristine-looking secretary at Fei International. She looked like… a killer.

Ying Shen. She still had to get to Ying Shen.

She picked up two of the discarded firearms and ran to the door of the room they put him in, and since no one else was guarding it, she gunned down the door knob until it swung open with a little push.

"Brother!" She knelt down beside the bed and shook him. The pain on her left hip intensified, but she tried to ignore it as much as she could. She and her brother had to get out of this place first, and then she'd worry about herself later. "Hey, Song Yinan!"

"Mmm." Sleepy eyes started to blink back at her, and Ying Yue couldn't help throwing her arms around him, hugging him tightly despite both their states. "Miss… Ying?"

Song Yinan was still groggy. What happened? He remembered meeting up with Su Jianjun after seeing Ying Yue off, and then he woke up here.

Ying Yue pulled back and started dragging him off the bed. "We have to go."

"Huh?" He looked at her confusedly.

"You've been taken hostage. I'm bailing you out, now come on."

"Master," the door opened, and Xu Lin strode in holding a tablet in one hand. He laid it down on the table in front of Wang Longwei for him to see. It showed a video of a few armored vehicles ramming into their gates, and fully-armed men getting out, surrounding the area. An Audi passed through moments later, and a man with cold eyes and a sharp suit stepped out, surveying the building. "The Dragon Club are here, and they've brought most of their men. They've tracked us down."

Wang Longwei inhaled through his cigarette and blew a puff of smoke up in the air. "All within Su Jianjun's predictions." As long as Ying Yue was in his hands, Fei Huangjin wouldn't be able to do anything to him. His lips pursed for a moment before he turned his attention back to him. "How's the girl?"

"The girl…" Xu Lin took back the tablet and started swiping through the screens, looking for the surveillance videos to her room. Right before he'd gone over, she'd been taken to use the toilet. Surely, she'd be back in the holding room by now.

His brows furrowed as he found the room empty. He swiped to the corridor cameras outside the toilet room, and his eyes widened as he found bodies of his men barely moving on the floor.

Wang Longwei immediately noted his change in expression, and he squinted his eyes at Xu Lin threateningly. "What happened?"

Xu Lin's fingers started swiping vigorously until the live video of Song Yinan's room was shown on the screen. It was empty, too.
