Chapter 1703 - 1697: Exposed
Knock, knock.
Lisa walked to the doorway but didn’t force her way in; instead, she raised her hand and knocked.
Then the iron gate of the villa opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes walked out.
"Who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged man, who seemed to be the villa’s owner, naturally asked the three people as soon as he spoke.
"We’re looking for Ke Wujie," Lisa said calmly.
Upon hearing the name Ke Wujie, the middle-aged man’s expression clearly showed a flash of surprise, but he didn’t panic.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man asked immediately after a brief moment of doubt.
"I..." Lisa intended to make up a reason to get access first.
But Xiao Hu, standing beside her, was quite impatient.
Seeing the middle-aged man’s reaction, it was evident the man knew Ke Wujie, so he acted decisively!
"We’re here for his life!"
Xiao Hu shouted angrily and reached forward with a big hand, lifting the middle-aged man up with one hand.
"Where is Ke Wujie?"
Xiao Hu roared.
The middle-aged man’s expression turned extremely frantic.
And the people hiding in the yard noticed the hostile visitors and rushed out.
In the yard were mostly ordinary thugs.
They didn’t have much fighting ability, but there were many of them.
The yard, initially appearing empty, suddenly had over twenty muscular men storming out.
Those brawny men all had fierce looks, clearly not a friendly bunch.
"Release him!"
One of the men pointed a dagger at Xiao Hu, demanding he let go.
Being naturally aggressive, Xiao Hu became even more excited by this scene!
"So many people, perfect timing!"
Xiao Hu flung the man aside and charged forward with clenched fists.
Like a ferocious tiger among sheep, unstoppable.
Even though the brawny men were many, they were no match for Xiao Hu, as they were on completely different levels. How could they fight?
In less than a minute, everyone in the yard was lying scattered on the ground.
Not a sound escaped anyone’s mouth as they all fell unconscious.
Xiao Hu’s strikes were extremely swift and harsh.
"You haven’t changed; you’re still so reckless, why alarm them if you can avoid fighting?" Lisa frowned upon seeing the scene.
Xiao Hu turned around, smiling foolishly: "I can’t stop myself when I see people like this, and besides, I’m fast enough not to be noticed."
Lisa rolled her eyes but said nothing more, then walked into the villa yard with Chen Yang, stepping into the villa’s interior.
From outside the villa, everything seemed perfectly normal aside from the bright lights.
Yet upon entering the villa, the atmosphere became chaotic.
The grand villa hall felt as if it was hosting a party, with many strong men indulging in revelry.
Some were drinking, others gambling and joking.
There were also quite a few seductive women mingling among them.
"Since the boss is in a great mood today, everyone should celebrate, it’s going to be tough for the next few days."
"It’s rare for everyone to be together, make sure to enjoy ourselves; the Blood Butcher Gang is rising."
"Cheers for the boss, invincible leader! The Blood Butcher Gang is getting stronger!"
...
The crooks seemed to be celebrating something, all completely absorbed, oblivious to the outside world.
Even when Chen Yang, Lisa, and Xiao Hu crossed the threshold into the hall, no one seemed to notice.
"A whole new world indeed! Silent outside but so noisy inside!" Xiao Hu marveled at the scene, eyes sparkling like a hungry tiger spotting a flock of lambs.
"The Blood Butcher Gang is famous for hiding well, the villa must be equipped with excellent soundproofing materials," Lisa replied.
"So, what now? Do we act directly or find that Ke Wujie first?" Xiao Hu was more composed after entering; despite seeing the Blood Butcher Gang members, he refrained from striking immediately and asked Lisa first.
"Ideally, we should find Ke Wujie first; he’s the focus of this mission. Without finding him, it’s best not to act," Lisa said directly.
"Alright then, we’ll look for Ke Wujie," Xiao Hu nodded in agreement and then turned his gaze to Chen Yang, saying, "Chen Yang, you stay here, don’t get caught; though they’re mostly ordinary people, their numbers give them an advantage, an average person couldn’t handle it."
"Lisa and I will go find the guy, join in when the fight begins!"
Xiao Hu really intended to take care of Chen Yang.
He planned to leave Chen Yang behind while they handled dangerous tasks above.
Hearing Xiao Hu’s words, Chen Yang felt a mix of appreciation and amusement.
"You guys don’t need to look; he’s already here," Chen Yang chuckled lightly, speaking softly.
"Huh? What did you say? Who’s here?" Xiao Hu didn’t understand Chen Yang’s meaning and immediately asked back.
Chen Yang didn’t answer him, instead, he kept his eyes locked on the second floor.
And after Chen Yang spoke, Lisa too sensed something, her expression changing sharply before she quickly looked towards the second floor.
There stood Ke Wujie, wearing only a mink coat, his left arm around an alluring woman, his right hand holding a wine glass, appearing on the second floor.
He watched them with a smile.
Clearly, Ke Wujie had noticed them.
Although Xiao Hu reacted slowly, he still sensed the change in the atmosphere and gradually turned to face the second floor.
"You guys are so engrossed you don’t know anything, guests arrived and you didn’t even know to welcome them! How would others see our Blood Butcher Gang!" Ke Wujie suddenly spoke fiercely from the second floor.
His voice was loud and carried a compelling intimidation.
The crooks downstairs trembled instinctively and halted their reveling, all eyes turning to the second floor.
Then, following Ke Wujie’s gaze, they looked at Chen Yang and the other two.
It was then the minions realized that, unbeknownst to them, three outsiders had entered the hall.
"I, Ke Wujie, should have no quarrel with your Lingnan Secret Bureau, esteemed guests, why visit my humble abode?" Besides scolding his minions, Ke Wujie casually leaned against the second-floor railing, speaking amusedly to the three.
Lisa remained silent, her brow furrowed.
Xiao Hu grunted, stepped forward and responded loudly: "Ke Wujie! You abducted those children from the suburban area, where did you take them? Hand them over honestly, you might keep your life, otherwise you’ll face direct punishment from our Secret Bureau!"
Seeing that Ke Wujie had already noticed them, Xiao Hu didn’t hide anymore and immediately stated their purpose.
Upon hearing Xiao Hu’s words, Ke Wujie’s expression on the second floor shifted from amused to fierce once more.
