Chapter 162: Better you than me! Tang Xiwei's ruthless strike!

"What do we do! What should we do now! You have to make a decision!"

Tang Xiwei was completely out of her wits. She clutched the corner of Bai Shiya's dress tightly, trembling from head to toe.

Right now, the two opposing factions were locked in fierce combat in the living room downstairs. It was an absolute free-for-all chaos!

No, I am just such an insignificant person. Do Elena and Wen Wan really think that highly of me?

They actually dispatched so many people specifically to capture me!

I can understand Wen Wan; after all, I had a fallout with Chen Luo before. But Elena, aren't you going too far?!

You beat me up for no reason before! And now you are still pressing this so aggressively!

"Stop talking nonsense! Run, quickly! Jump out the window!"

Bai Shiya gathered her composure at that moment, immediately opening the window of Tang Xiwei's room and shining a flashlight downwards.

This room was located at the far eastern end of the villa. Looking out the open window revealed a small hillside covered in overgrown weeds, which happened to be ideal for concealment.

She never expected that banishing Tang Xiwei to this remote corner room would accidentally leave an escape route behind.

Tang Xiwei looked at the hillside below, choked with weeds and riddled with exposed rocks.

"If... if I jump down like this, won't I die?"

Bai Shiya abruptly yanked her clothes, pushed her to the edge of the window, and forced her head down to look below.

"Whether you'll die from jumping, I don't know. But if we fall into their hands and let it slip that the Young Master is the mastermind behind the scenes, we're dead for sure!"

"No! Not just us! Even our entire families will be made to vanish from the face of the earth by the Young Master!"

In her mind, she pictured the ruthless heart hidden beneath Wen Shao's gentle and refined exterior.

He held the weaknesses of every single pawn under his command, and their families had all become his hostages.

The moment any pawn dared to betray him, those family members would be the first ones sacrificed to make an example of the rest!

Not only to deter others, but also to immensely satisfy his own perverted desire for control!

No! I must not be caught!

Bai Shiya naturally had her own vulnerability as well—her mother, who had raised her single-handedly through all kinds of hardships.

No matter what Wen Shao did to her, she would never allow her mother to suffer even the slightest bit of harm!

"I... I'm scared! I don't dare to jump!"

Tang Xiwei looked down, her legs shaking incessantly, utterly paralyzed and unable to jump.

"If you don't want to die, jump with me right now!"

Bai Shiya didn't care whether she was scared or not; she grabbed her and leaped out the window.

It was a height of about three and a half meters. The two of them jumped down, and fortunately, they didn't land on any rocks, though their legs felt somewhat numb.

The two made their way laboriously through the dense grass, trying to escape this place of trouble.

Bai Shiya looked back, confirmed that no one was following them, and hastily dragged Tang Xiwei toward the mountains behind the estate.

As long as they could make it into the mountain, it would be very difficult for the other party's small number of men to find them. By then, they could quickly ask the Young Master for rescue and still manage to escape alive.

However, the sight of the two figures moving through the grass was spotted by a police officer patrolling the perimeter of the villa, who immediately called Su Qing.

"Captain Su! Two women are running toward the mountains behind the villa!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the villa's living room, the two sides were engaged in intense conflict. Although no weapons were drawn, the close-quarters combat had already reached a boiling point.

Simultaneously, Moye and Ye Linqian were locked in a fierce duel. Their martial arts skills were evenly matched, and for a moment they fought with such exhilaration that they even forgot their original objective.

"Bang!"

The two exchanged a direct blow with their fists and retreated a few steps each. After steadying themselves, they charged at each other once more.

Standing on the sidelines, Su Qing was pacing back and forth in frantic anxiety, having no idea what to do!

A mass brawl involving over a hundred people—how chaotic this scene was, and given that most of these individuals were trained fighters, their combat capability was formidable.

Under normal circumstances, Su Qing should have immediately stopped their fighting, but right now she truly had no idea how to intervene!

First of all, the people on Wen Wan's side were brought by her; they were her own people. Yet she couldn't show favoritism to one side, or her career as an official would be over.

Secondly, she really couldn't stop them anyway. Over a hundred people were brawling, and they were all skilled fighters. With her meager force, even if she really charged in, it would be of no use!

Lastly, she had rushed out too eagerly today and hadn't even brought her firearm! What on earth was she supposed to do now?!

Right at that moment, Su Qing's phone rang. Picking it up, she saw it was Xiao Li, whom she had stationed on the outer perimeter.

"Captain Su! Two women ran toward the mountains behind the villa, identities unknown!"

Su Qing's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly snatched a megaphone from one of her subordinates.

"Hey, hey, hey! I am Captain Su from the police department!"

"My subordinates report that two women escaped toward the back! Which side do they belong to?"

Hearing these words, Molan and Ye Linqian stopped dead in their tracks.

"Not good! It's her! She's trying to escape!"

"Everyone, listen to my command! Break off the fight and follow me to the back to find them!"

Molan's elite subordinates immediately withdrew from the battle and charged out of the villa at Molan's heels.

Hearing this, Ye Linqian instantly realized that these must be important figures.

"It seems those two must be crucial people they have here! Let's hurry and chase them! We can't let them find them first!"

The two teams of people rushed toward the back mountain one after the other. Looking at the living room, which could now be described as a complete ruin, Su Qing finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Good thing, good thing. A hundred-man brawl turned into a search party; at least this didn't turn into a massive disaster!"

Thinking this, Su Qing quickly took out her phone and called Director Ma for reinforcements.

Upon hearing that this concerned Wen Wan, Director Ma did not hesitate for a single second and immediately mobilized a large number of police officers to rush toward the location at top speed.

It was already late in the night. Bai Shiya and Tang Xiwei had been running for a long time, unaware of how far they had fled.

"Huffs! Huffs! Huffs!"

"Sister Bai! Let's take a break! Really! I can't run anymore!"

Tang Xiwei genuinely could not run another step. Being a pampered young miss by nature, how could she possibly endure mountain paths like this? She dropped heavily onto a rock, refusing to get back up no matter what.

Bai Shiya was somewhat better off; she usually exercised to a certain extent and frequently went mountain climbing, so it wasn't too taxing for her yet.

The two had already climbed halfway up the mountainside, and right beneath their feet was a small cliff.

She leaned against a tree, wanting to catch her breath, and turned her head to look down toward the direction of the mountain base. To her horror, she saw numerous lights rapidly approaching their location.

Countless footsteps and shouts rang out—it was obvious that the pursuers were combing the mountain!

"Tang Xiwei! Run! Hurry up and run!"

Bai Shiya turned her head and reached out to pull Tang Xiwei's hand to run further up the mountain, but to her astonishment, what met her eyes was a pair of cold, resentful eyes filled with hatred from Tang Xiwei.

"Sister Bai, let the other daoist die so the poor daoist can live! Don't blame me!"

The moment the words fell, Tang Xiwei thrust her hands forward and shoved fiercely against Bai Shiya's chest!
