The vibrating sound of the phone merely caught Li Yan's attention, but when he glanced at that phone, he immediately confirmed it was Li Jie's! He had seen it in the movie theater not long ago. It was obvious that this guy took Li Jie's phone, and didn't even have time to change the ringtone or turn off the phone—the vibration just now must have been a call from Li Chengfeng.

Given so many coincidences, there was no room for politeness, he reached out directly to stop the person.

"What are you doing?" That person was trying to maintain composure, but being suddenly blocked by Li Yan, he shouted to bolster his courage, then instinctively shoved the phone into his pocket.

What am I doing? "Fuck your mother!"

The fact that Li Yan swore was because he was worried about Li Jie's safety. He was well aware of Li Jie's combat abilities, given space to maneuver, beating up two or three men was child's play for her. Even if she encountered a martial arts expert, or someone with strong resilience, she wouldn't be defeated just yet. She hadn't been out for long; for her to hand over her phone, obviously as a bait for the father, there was only one possibility—at gunpoint!

Swearing, he already grabbed the young man's wrist.

"Where did the phone come from?"

"It's mine, what's it to you…"

The young man didn't finish his explanation before Li Yan had already twisted his arm forcefully, causing him to cry out in pain!

...

After receiving the call, Li Jie hurried out; Li Chengfeng said he was outside and had been beaten up by a jerk. Coming out, she didn't see her father, which made her very worried. She knew her father was meticulous, and even though he was older, he still had the skill; an average young man could only get beaten by him. To be violently beaten, the opponent had to be much stronger.

Because of the special circumstances now, she worried it was those "assassins" targeting them, as Li Yan discussed earlier about splitting up and picking off the bodyguards!

If Li Yan were beside her, she would have someone to discuss with, but that guy headed to the toilet at the critical moment, leaving her to face this alone. She recalled Li Yan's advice to stay calm and make use of the surrounding environment!

As she observed ahead, she secretly analyzed; initially wanting to call, after thinking it over, she decided it was inappropriate. Because if the opponent were really an assassin, calling would inform them she was out. Not calling might buy her a bit of time.

Not seeing anything ahead, anyone capable of the beating wouldn't be in a crowded area, so she chose the stairwell! Upon reaching the stairwell, she immediately saw a panicked young man and suspiciously stared at him. The young man seemed eager to leave. As she intended to go upstairs, the young man "kindly" reminded her: "Pretty lady, don't go up there; just now a foreigner and an old man were chasing each other up there; I'm going to find security!"

Upon hearing "a foreigner and an old man," Li Jie instantly confirmed it was her father and those assassins. In her anxiety, she said nothing and ran upstairs, but didn't know which floor they stopped on. She reached the fifth floor, the cinema's top floor, which had no screening rooms, and felt relatively quiet.

In her hesitation, hearing footsteps from below, she turned back, seeing the young man had followed her up. Under her suspicious gaze, the young man proactively said: "Seeing you, a girl, act so courageously, whereas I, as a man, stand idle is indeed unreasonable. I plan to go with you, us three together could surely take down that foreigner!"

Li Jie remained somewhat skeptical of him, but the young man had already come up, leading her towards the fifth-floor hallway. "I believe they should be over here. It's prime time; employees are busy, and only this floor is vacant. I'm kind of familiar with this place; they might be here…"

Seeing him say this, Li Jie had no choice but to follow, thinking even if there were two enemies, it wouldn't be too much.

On the fifth floor, the young man pushed open a slightly ajar door labeled "No Entry for Unauthorized Personnel," then immediately exclaimed quietly. His surprise startled Li Jie, worrying something had happened to her father, she dashed inside. The outcome…

Facing her was a foreigner sitting in a chair, calmly smiling to her, with a gun in his hand.

At this moment, Li Jie actually believed the young man! Thinking his quiet exclamation was because he saw the foreigner's gun. After she rushed in, she blocked the foreigner's and the young man's line of sight as she stood before them. Understanding the danger she was in, she tried to calm herself and make use of the environment!

Just that moment of thought led her to make a bold decision to trust a stranger—at gunpoint, this was the only possible course!

She believed her father had already met his end, and she might also. If she kept the phone on herself, when Li Yan came out without seeing her, he would certainly call, leading the enemy to lure him here, causing him to face peril too. With armed, prepared, and ambushed enemies, superb skills were worthless!

Thus, while making a gesture of surrender, she quickly took out her phone and tossed it to the young man outside the door, whispering: "Go! Help me call the police!"

She hoped that foreigner didn't understand Yun Country language, and the young man surely panicked at seeing the gun. As long as he ran away with the phone, reporting to the police or finding security didn't matter. Even if he kept the phone for himself, it didn't matter as long as Li Yan couldn't find it and wouldn't be tricked by a phone call to come up.

Of course, she didn't realize that Li Chengfeng wasn't inside, and he was not the bait, she was the bait! Upon the young man receiving the phone, he made a gesture to the foreigner, waved the phone, and then ran away.

"Where's my father? What did you do to him?" Li Jie, with her hands raised, tried hard to stay calm, asking this question both in Yun Country language and international language.

"Get in! Go sit over there!"

The foreigner kept the gun pointed at her and gestured to a chair in another corner of the room.

Having no choice, Li Jie slowly walked over and sat down.

"Who are you people? Why are you doing this to us?" Even though Li Yan had taught her to stay calm in whatever situation, thinking of her father possibly under the foreigner's gun, Li Jie was burning with fury, wanting to kill him!

However, she knew that was futile, it wouldn't seek revenge, only waste her life. She could only speak to distract her mind and make herself somewhat calmer.

"You don't need to know, you will be a dead person, dead people knowing anything is meaningless." The foreigner was quite composed.

Li Jie held back her anger, worried that her father was already… "It is meaningful! Us Yun Country people are very particular about not dying blindly! Meaning if one doesn't know why they died, they'll die very unwillingly, unable to close their eyes."

"Interesting, actually you really have no idea? You need to protect someone, we need to kill someone. That's the reason! To kill him, we must first kill those protecting him, so please believe, we have no hatred with you, nothing to do with your country. It's simply because you're carrying out your mission, and we're carrying out ours, which makes us enemies."

The foreigner was fairly talkative, his mood was good, that Yun Country lad was pretty capable, not only following them to the cinema but also seeing Li Yan take Li Chengfeng to the stairwell. After Li Yan left, without seeing Li Chengfeng out, he came over, finding Li Chengfeng unconscious.

He reported back, and upon arriving at the cinema, he had decided to kill unconscious Li Chengfeng directly. However, he found it too easy, a cheap shot, losing his reputation. Moreover, he couldn't then lure the other two, particularly the woman, out to kill them. So, he made additional arrangements, having the young man bring Li Chengfeng into the theater.

When the movie began, waking Li Chengfeng up, the young man pretended to be a volunteer seeing him in trouble, intending to take him to the hospital but unsure about calling the police, first letting him rest in the theater. Li Chengfeng thanked him, said not to call the police, then searched for Li Yan and Li Jie among the audience.

The young man pretended to be wholeheartedly watching the movie while actually observing Li Chengfeng. Naturally, Li Chengfeng found Li Yan's and Li Jie's seats without needing assistance. After the movie ended, Li Chengfeng pretended to go to the toilet, then followed up. In the restroom, he carefully eavesdropped on Li Chengfeng's call, wondering why he didn't step out. Later returning to the auditorium, he observed but didn't hurry to leave, realizing Li Jie and Li Yan had separated, understanding that Li Yan mistakenly called someone, and the old man was seeking personal revenge by sending the woman out and waiting in the restroom for Li Yan.

He quietly celebrated, grateful for following Li Chengfeng, covering him, or he might have been beaten! He took the opportunity to trick Li Jie first, ambushing her and keeping contact with the foreigner, knowing to lure Li Jie purposely to the fifth floor.

Of course, Li Jie was unaware of this, and neither Li Yan nor Li Chengfeng guessed it.

"Just kill me! What's the wait?" (Are there any brothers who haven't cast their guaranteed monthly passes? Please give them to Mixed first, there will be another chapter update later.)
