Chapter 323 Battle inside the Villa_1
"I received Miss Ling’s call and was about to head to the police station when Yan Ran called, so the three of us came here together. We owe a lot to Yan Ran this time; without her help, it might have been difficult for even me to rescue you so quickly." Qin Yuru began.
Ye Luo’s gaze couldn’t help but turn to Shi Yanran as he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Shi Yanran’s cheeks turned a touch red as she retorted, "You don’t have to say that, you protected me a few times in Zhonghai before, so this is nothing. Besides, it wasn’t really me who rescued you, it was Uncle War Wolf who helped."
As Shi Yanran spoke, her eyes drifted towards the man dressed in black workout clothes with a stern face.
"Thank you for helping me once again," Ye Luo stood up, faced the man with a slight bow, and expressed his gratitude.
"No need for that, I was only following orders. Didn’t you use the token I gave you?" War Wolf looked at Ye Luo with a deep voice.
"Token? No, I didn’t. What exactly is that thing?" Ye Luo asked with genuine curiosity.
"In the future, if you find yourself in danger, you can use that token—it might just save your life," War Wolf explained.
"Right." Ye Luo suddenly remembered something, activated his Clairvoyant Eye, and scanned the entire police station, only to find that Situ Ao and the emerald were no longer there.
Ye Luo’s eyes sharply turned to Zeng Fang: "Where are Situ Ao and the emerald?"
"The emerald was taken away by Young Master Situ, and as for his whereabouts, I’m not sure," Zeng Fang shook his head, looking rather embarrassed.
"You’re looking for Situ Ao?" War Wolf asked, fixing his eyes on Ye Luo.
"Yes, I need to retrieve something very important." Ye Luo said solemnly, the emerald was crucial for boosting his strength, and he had to get it back no matter what.
"I can help you," War Wolf said, pulling out his phone and making a call. Seconds later, he looked at Ye Luo: "He hasn’t returned to the Situ Family. He’s in a private villa in Capital City."
A trace of joy surfaced on Ye Luo’s face: "Where is that villa?"
War Wolf provided an address straightforwardly but cautioned, "However, there are many experts in that villa. If you plan to go alone, it will be dangerous..."
"No matter what, I must go," Ye Luo said resolutely.
"Ye Luo, that Situ Ao is not easy to deal with. Just let go of that emerald," Qin Yuru said, looking at Ye Luo with worry.
Ling Qingya nodded in agreement: "Yes, forget about it."
"No, I must retrieve the emerald. It’s very important to me," Ye Luo shook his head.
"Uncle War Wolf, please help Ye Luo," Shi Yanran implored, her eyes on War Wolf.
With a grave expression, War Wolf stated, "I can’t. My mission this time was only to bring him safely out. I cannot get involved in his disputes with the Situ Family; it would break the rules."
"Thank you, senior, but please allow me to handle this matter myself."
Capital City’s Greenwater Garden is a well-known luxurious villa district, home to the wealthy and powerful. At the very back of this district stands a villa in solitary grandeur, the private residence of Situ Ao, where he usually relaxes and entertains women.
Within this villa complex, numerous martial artist guards were spread both inside and out, and in the shadows there were several covert yet powerful auras—all of them experts sent by the Situ Family to protect Situ Ao.
After all, as the son of the Situ Family’s clan leader, his safety was of great importance. However, these powerful individuals rarely showed themselves because it was estimated that there weren’t many in the Capital City who would dare to make a move against the Situ Family’s young master.
Yet, tonight was an exception. In the grass several dozen meters away from the villa, two figures were concealed—it was Ye Luo and Xue Tu.
To prevent any accidents, Ye Luo had specifically asked Xue Tu for help. After all, Xue Tu’s strength was comparable to an innate middle-stage expert, which could be a great help.
Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye activated, and the entire villa’s situation appeared before his eyes, including those hidden experts.
At this moment, Situ Ao, having obtained the emerald, a precious gemstone, excitedly brought over several beautiful models, playing suggestive and stimulating games in his room, the passion limitless. As for the emerald, he had placed it inside a safe in the room.
"Xue Tu, when we make our move, you’re responsible for taking out those people outside," Ye Luo instructed Xue Tu.
"Understood." Xue Tu nodded and then, under the cover of darkness, the two of them stealthily approached the villa.
Xue Tu rushed toward the villa first, his eyes ablaze with a bloodthirsty cold light, clasping a short dagger in his hand, his body bursting forth.
Thud!
A guard stationed outside the villa courtyard had his throat cleanly slit with a knife, after which Xue Tu charged into the villa’s courtyard. His figure flickered, his weapon whirling, and one by one, the guards were silently taken down. Xue Tu indeed had the potential of an assassin.
Meanwhile, Ye Luo had made his way to the side of the villa, where there was a balcony. With a tip of his toe, he leaped, easily vaulting onto the balcony, and then entered into the second floor.
Past the balcony was a study; Ye Luo quietly opened the door and slipped out.
Outside the villa, several guards finally realized that something was amiss and hastily called out.
In response, the innate realm guards within the villa revealed themselves one after another. Three early-stage innate guards instantly locked onto Xue Tu and charged at him.
Wielding his short dagger, Xue Tu engaged in fierce battle with the three innate experts. Despite being outnumbered, Xue Tu did not show weakness, his aura of bloodshed affecting the movements of the three men.
A barrage of lethal moves was executed, leaving those three conventionally fighting guards extremely unaccustomed. Although they were innate experts, they had never truly fought for their lives.
Their combat experience and abilities couldn’t compare to the battle-hardened Xue Tu—at once, an innate guard was pierced in the chest by Xue Tu’s blade. He also took a palm strike and a punch from the other two, but he crazily lunged at them.
Bang!
At this moment, Ye Luo had burst into Situ Ao’s room, startling him mid-game.
"You bastard, how is it you?"
Seeing Ye Luo entering, Situ Ao’s face changed drastically, shock written all over it, unable to understand how the other could be there. Could it be that Zeng Fang had not obeyed his orders and released him?
"Young Master Situ, we meet again," Ye Luo said with a smile looking at Situ Ao. Then his eyes sharpened, his wrist flicked.
Two Silver Needles shot out towards the room’s balcony.
