"Wu, you're absolutely right. Fan Yi's betrayal and attempt to seize power are disgraceful. Such traitors must be punished without mercy!"

As Wu Jindao spoke, others in the banquet hall began to echo his sentiments.

"Absolutely correct! A scoundrel like Fan Yi, who forgets loyalty and brotherhood, and who schemes to destroy the entire Golden Saber Society, cannot be allowed to remain."

"We support severe punishment for such traitors, with no leniency."

"Right, Wu, we all back you up!"

"If we let the tiger return to the mountain today, the future will certainly be filled with endless troubles!"

"Punish Fan Yi severely as a warning to others!"

The crowd erupted with voices calling for punishment, laced with a sense of kicking someone when they're down and a desire for revenge.

Previously, Fan Yi had complete control over the situation, making them afraid to speak up. But now that the tide had turned and Fan Yi was about to be finished...

They had no issues adding fuel to the fire, ensuring that anyone daring to harm them would pay a steep price.

Listening to the surrounding calls for his downfall, Fan Yi's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He clenched his teeth tightly, a trace of viciousness flashing in his eyes.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, he leaped up from the ground, dashing swiftly toward Wu Tingting on one side.

His hand brushed his waist, pulling out a shiny, glowing dagger. It cut through the air in a sharp arc, aiming for Wu Tingting's neck!

Evidently, he was trying to take her hostage to fight his way out. It was his only chance for survival. He didn't believe Wu Jindao wouldn't care about his daughter's life.

Though the idea was good, reality harshly slapped him in the face. Before he could reach Wu Tingting, a tall and robust figure intercepted him like a specter.

Immediately, a shadow flickered before his eyes, and before he understood what was happening, he was heavily kicked in the chest, sent flying backwards.

Seeing Fan Yi kicked away by Ye Xuan, Wu Tingting secretly sighed in relief.

Fan Yi's sudden attack had nearly petrified her with fear. Luckily, Ye Xuan arrived just in time, preventing any unforeseen mishaps!

"Brother Ye, thank you! You've saved me again."

Wu Tingting beamed like a flower and, disregarding the people around, immediately threw herself into Ye Xuan's arms.

Subsequently, she wrapped her arms around his neck, tiptoeing to plant a sweet kiss on his cheek.

After a light, fleeting kiss, she released him, her cheeks red as ripe apples.

"This cheeky girl dares to take advantage of Brother Ye Xuan! She doesn't take me seriously at all! From now on, I must protect Brother Ye Xuan, keeping him safe from these female predators."

Seeing this scene, Murong Wanwan pouted angrily, feeling indignant inside.

At this moment, Ye Xuan, caught in the situation, felt rather helpless. How did he unwittingly attract another young girl smitten by his looks? Alas, being too handsome is a hassle!

Meanwhile, Fan Yi, kicked away by Ye Xuan, hadn't managed to get up before Wu Jindao ordered his capture.

Two men restrained him, forcing him to his knees, rendering him incapable of movement, his face ashen.

He knew this time he was truly finished, with no chance of a comeback!

Witnessing this scene, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but sigh.

Just yesterday, this Fan Yi was brimming with arrogance, and now, Jiang Jinchao was in shackles! Who would've thought the situation would reverse so dramatically in just one day, leaving Fan Yi completely done for.

Fan Yi bowed his head in despair, saying dejectedly, "I accept my downfall this time! In the game of power, it's victory or defeat. There's nothing more to say. Falling into your hands, I'll accept whatever fate you decide for me."

"If you'd known it would come to this, why did you make such choices in the first place? Take him away."

Wu Jindao spoke calmly, waving at his men to take him away.

"Wait!"

At that moment, a voice called out from the back of the crowd, stopping them from taking Fan Yi away.

Under everyone's gaze, a man in a flamboyant pink shirt, tightly clutching a dagger, quickly stepped forward from the crowd.

This person was none other than Zhou Yang, one of Fan Yi's lackeys who previously played the sycophant alongside Luo Ming!

In a few swift steps, he emerged from the crowd, quickly reaching behind Fan Yi, and without a word, thrust the dagger into Fan Yi's back.

Thud!

An unprepared Fan Yi had the sharp dagger easily pierce through his flesh, deeply embedding into his heart. Bright red blood gushed out like a floodgate opening, instantly staining his shirt, a shocking sight.

Seeing this, the crowd gasped collectively, while Wu Jindao frowned, though he said nothing, feeling only a deep sadness within.

"Ah..."

With his back stabbed, directly puncturing his heart, Fan Yi screamed wildly.

He incredulously turned his head to look at the dagger-holding, hostile-faced Zhou Yang. Opening his mouth, blood trickled down from the corner: "Zhou... Zhou Yang, you faithless scoundrel! Bastard... I, I..."

"You damn well are the bastard!"

Zhou Yang glared viciously at Fan Yi, tightly gritting his teeth, eyes filled with flames of hatred: "Fan Yi, you ruined me! It's all because of you, this bastard, that I strayed from the right path. If I hadn't been bewitched by you, how could I have ever betrayed Wu? Thankfully, I woke up in time, and now I am serving justice by eliminating you, the betrayer! Go to hell!"

Finishing his words, he pushed the dagger deeper, causing Fan Yi to let out a sorrowful scream.

His entire body shook violently, his voice gradually weakening, as the light in his eyes quickly dimmed!

He opened his mouth, trying to speak, but no more words came out, blood frothing from his mouth, his throat emitting only gasping noises.

Ultimately, the light in his eyes vanished completely, his head tilting lifelessly to the side, breathing his last.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, staring at Fan Yi lying in a pool of blood. With a long sigh, Wu Jindao said, "Who hasn't been young once? I was once like you, full of greed, but I was fortunate enough to restrain my desires and wake up in time. But you couldn't... Scorpion, I hope in your next life you can find peace and be a decent person."

After ending Fan Yi with a stab, Zhou Yang immediately dropped the dagger, kneeling with a thud in front of Wu Jindao, begging for mercy, "Wu, I was blinded by greed and deceived by that bastard Fan Yi, committing such treacherous acts! I hope that considering I realized my mistake in time, you can spare my life."

Having said that, he began frantically kowtowing.

Wu Jindao looked at him indifferently, his face emotionless, speaking coldly, "Begging me is useless. You killed a man, you should beg the police for mercy! Let's see if they'll let you off."

With that, he instructed Luo Ming sternly, "Luo, call the police. Zhou Yang, having publicly attacked and murdered Fan Yi, the manager of Golden Saber Entertainment, was caught by us at the scene. We'll hand him over to the police for handling..."
