Yue Chi doubted Huo Ge's intention to assist him, yet Huo Ge and Huo Bing had clashed intensely in recent times.

Furthermore, contacting Gong Han was impossible right now. Returning to the Yue household might expose him to threats from the Gong family.

Thus, regardless of whether his brother lived or died, he required open backing from someone.

Perhaps the Huo family could be exploited to his benefit.

Yue Chi stared resolutely at Huo Ge. “Tell me, what should I do?”

Lin Yin, keeping tabs on the Huo family, got the update instantly upon discovering Huo Ge's arrival at the Yue family with his crew.

From the Huo family intel, Lin Yin learned that Gong Han and Gong Ze were captives of the Gong family.

Still, she hadn't anticipated Huo Ge teaming up with Yue Chi.

Whatever scheme Yue Chi and Huo Ge were hatching, Lin Yin resolved not to spare Yue Chi this day.

Lin Yin directed Sun Biao to lead a squad for rescuing Gong Ze.

Upon reaching the Yue residence alongside her team, she witnessed Gong Luo gripping Gong Han at gunpoint. The usually haughty and overbearing Gong Yue clutched her bleeding arm wound, trailing right behind Gong Luo.

The Gong couple lay collapsed in a blood puddle alongside the rest, their survival uncertain.

Huo Ge sneered toward Gong Han and mocked, “Do you think I care about Gong Han’s life? Gong Luo, if you know what’s good for you, let him go quickly. Otherwise, when the police come later, you’ll probably go to jail.”

Gong Yue remembered Huo Ge dispatching men to assault her parents, trembling in terror. She shot a glance at Yue Chi, who eyed Gong Han with concern, and promptly declared, “Yue Chi, you don’t want your beloved sister-in-law to die either, right?”

Yue Chi's heart jolted. He fixed a fierce glare on Gong Yue, teeth clenched. “Gong Yue, you’re courting death!”

Noting Yue Chi's furious look, Gong Luo recalled overheard rumors, pieced things together, and scoffed. “Yue Chi, if you want Gong Han to live, kill Huo Ge!”

Yue Chi shot a glare at Gong Luo. “The people here either belong to Huo Ge or Lin Yin’s. What ability do I have to kill them?”

Gong Luo jammed the gun against Gong Han’s temple. “That’s your business. If Huo Ge doesn’t die, then let Gong Han die with me.”

Gong Luo realized Huo Ge had come fully prepared today, or he wouldn't have wiped out his family in daylight.

Yue Chi's eyes bulged in rage. He couldn't stand by as Gong Han perished.

Instinctively, he turned toward Lin Yin, his face twisted in distress, and muttered lowly, “Lin Yin, you’re on good terms with Gong Ze. You won’t just watch as something happens to his sister, right?”

Yue Chi's intent was clear: unable to take out Huo Ge himself, he urged Lin Yin to act.

Huo Ge showed no concern whatsoever. He even cast a scornful look at Lin Yin.

Lin Yin couldn't fathom Huo Ge's fierce drive to eliminate the Gong family, but she truly couldn't allow Gong Han to die by Huo Ge's hand alongside Gong Luo.

“Gong Luo, let Gong Han go. What are your conditions? Tell me!” Lin Yin demanded, her face shadowed darkly as she eyed Gong Luo.

Gong Luo challenged Lin Yin. “Can you guarantee that Huo Ge won’t make a move?”

Lin Yin tilted her head eastward, signaling her men to encircle Huo Ge’s group.

A faint spark lit Gong Luo’s eyes. He pressed further, “If you kill Huo Ge, I’ll let Gong Han go. How about that?”

Lin Yin’s eyes narrowed in displeasure. “Gong Luo, I advise you to stop while you’re ahead. Gong Ze is just a classmate of mine at best. His sister’s life isn’t worth much to me.”

Gong Luo’s face darkened. He retreated a step and stated, “I won’t do anything to Gong Han as long as you halt the Huo family and allow me safe passage out.”

Lin Yin eyed the motionless Gong Jin and his wife on the ground, replying flatly, “Okay!”

Observing Lin Yin ordering her people aside, Huo Ge’s gaze turned perilous. “Lin Yin, aren’t you looking down on me a little?”

Lin Yin met Huo Ge’s stare without fear, admitting bluntly, “Yes, a little. So?”

Huo Ge was left speechless by Lin Yin’s retort, forced to watch impotently as Gong Luo and Gong Yue dragged the hostage Gong Han toward the Yue villa’s exit.

Had he foreseen Lin Yin’s meddling, he would have brought a larger force to avoid this humiliation.

Yet, as Gong Luo and the pair passed Yue Chi, Gong Han abruptly resisted. The hitherto silent Yue Chi swiftly yanked Gong Han free.

In panic, Gong Luo fired toward Gong Han. But he lagged a beat too slow—Yue Chi, poised and ready, redirected the bullet straight into Gong Luo’s chest.

As Gong Luo’s form slackened, the Huo family’s weapons locked onto Gong Han and Yue Chi.

A burst of gunfire echoed sharply, leaving Yue Chi—who was shielding Gong Han fiercely—with several fresh holes in his body.
