According to Ye Tianfan's instructions, Long Yuqing called Jin Wanrong, telling him to bring his men to the villa on Peony Street to ensure Ye Tianfan's process of retrieving the needle wasn't disturbed.

But just as the call went out, over a dozen men in black rushed into the villa.

Though they couldn't pinpoint which villa Ye Tianfan was exactly in, the mysterious energy emanating from Ye Tianfan during the retrieval process was like a beacon in the night.

Being from the Ancient Martial Realm, these men in black quickly locked onto their target.

Peony Street, Villa 16.

Long Yuqing frowned deeply, "Who are you?"

The seven or eight men in black evidently had no intention of wasting words with Long Yuqing. The leader glanced towards the second-floor bedroom of the villa and then waved his right hand, "Go."

Seeing the stance of these men in black, fury instantly flickered across Long Yuqing's face, "You think you can just charge up there because you say so? Not taking me, Long Yuqing, seriously at all!"

As the voice dropped, a dozen shadows holding combat knives suddenly jumped out, simultaneously several infrared beams lit up, the red dots settling on the heads of those men in black.

They were sniper rifles.

The bodyguards secretly protecting Long Yuqing all acted in unison in an instant.

With just one command from Long Yuqing, bullets would whistle and pierce through these people's heads.

Even though these men in black were experts in the Ancient Martial Realm, the old saying still holds true, no matter how skilled you are, you still fear a knife, and regardless of how fast you are, can you be faster than a bullet?

Ultimately, ancient martial arts are but skills for strengthening the body, whereas guns and bullets are the real tools for killing.

"Who gave you the confidence to break into my, Long Yuqing's, villa?"

Long Yuqing's eyes were full of frost, the bodyguards wielding combat knives before him bore cold faces, ready to act at any moment.

"The underground queen of Jiangzhou City truly lives up to her name."

The leading man in black said in a low voice, ripping off the black cloth covering his face, a cold smile playing at the corner of his lips, "Are you sure these bodyguards can stop us?"

Seeing that person's face, Long Yuqing's heart suddenly trembled, the leader of the men in black turned out to be the head of the security team for the Huang Family.

"So you're indeed people of the Huang Family."

Long Yuqing snorted coldly.

"Miss Long, I advise you to be sensible, Ye Tianfan has taken our Huang Family's young lady and is now hiding on the second floor of this villa. No matter what, we're taking her away today."

The voice of the man in black grew colder, his eyes fixed intently on Long Yuqing.

Long Yuqing looked up at the second floor of the villa, sneering, "What if I don't allow it?"

"Whether you allow it or not, I have to take her away today."

The instant the voice of the man in black dropped, his figure suddenly flashed, Long Yuqing felt a gust of wind sweep over her, the bodyguards wielding combat knives in front of her didn't even have time to react.

The next second, the man in black was already behind Long Yuqing, the sharp dagger in his hand pressed against Long Yuqing's fair neck.

In an instant, the situation drastically changed.

"Miss Long, do you think those hidden snipers are faster, or is the knife in my hand faster?"

The man in black's action was so swift that the snipers aiming at him didn't even have time to pull the trigger.

At this moment, the sniping infrared line could only pivot back to the forehead of this man in black, and this time, the initiative had already shifted.

The man in black pressed the knife against Long Yuqing's fair neck, a cold smile playing on his lips as he looked towards where the infrared beam was coming from, his eyes full of provocation.

He had already concluded, the sniper wouldn't dare to shoot, because he was too close to Long Yuqing, the swirl of the bullet exiting the chamber would definitely accidentally injure Long Yuqing.

"Miss Long, I suggest you be wise and let our people upstairs, we're only here to save people today, not to kill."

The threat from the man in black sounded right next to Long Yuqing's ear.

But at this moment, Long Yuqing's lips curled into a cold smile, as the underground queen of Jiangzhou City, she wasn't experiencing this type of scene for the first time.

"Are you threatening me?"

Long Yuqing coldly questioned as she slowly raised her right hand, like giving an order, and snapped her fingers.

"Bang..."

A bullet whistled in.

"Puff..."

One of the men in black was hit in the head and instantly fell to the ground, white and red spilling everywhere.

This scene stunned all the men in black, they couldn't believe that even with their leader holding a knife to Long Yuqing's throat, she would still dare to order the snipers outside to open fire.

Who gave her the courage?

"You..."

At this moment, the rage in the leader of the men in black made his whole body tremble, the blade pressed against Long Yuqing's fair neck pushed forward, its edge slicing through Long Yuqing's skin, blood flowing along the blade.

Long Yuqing's face remained calm, coldly smiling, "Go ahead, make your move. Do you dare to kill me?"

Long Yuqing understood well, her current value was the only leverage for the man in black, he absolutely wouldn't dare harm her.

If she died, the snipers outside would definitely shoot without hesitation, and none of these men in black would be able to leave, they'd all accompany her in death.

At this moment, the leader of the men in black trembled with rage, whispering, "Long Yuqing, you are truly bold, it seems I underestimated you!"

Long Yuqing snorted coldly, saying, "Now, take your men and get out of the villa, I promise not to kill you and let you leave."

"Hahaha..." The leader of the men in black laughed wildly, then said coldly, "Long Yuqing, I must admit, I admire your confidence."

Just as the voice of the man in black faded, suddenly, one of the infrared red dots vanished.

This instantly startled Long Yuqing!

This meant that one of the snipers hidden outside had been taken out!

Soon after, another infrared red dot disappeared suddenly.

In less than a second.

Another one vanished...

In just five minutes, all the sniper infrared beams went out and disappeared.

The more than twenty snipers hidden in the shadows to protect Long Yuqing's safety were all taken out!

At this moment, the expression on the face of the man in black was cold as he said, "Long Yuqing, do you still have any confidence?"

Once his voice dropped, a middle-aged man slowly stepped into Villa 16 on Peony Street.

"How can you be so disrespectful to Miss Long? Ah Cha, be civilized, put down that knife." The man's voice sounded for a moment, and all those bodyguards standing in front of Long Yuqing fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

With Long Yuqing's eyesight, she couldn't tell how the man had made his move, but she recognized him.

This man was none other than Huang Xiaorou's second uncle, Huang Shengtian!

"Boss, why did you come in person?" Ah Cha sheathed his knife and came to Huang Shengtian's side.

With Huang Shengtian personally overseeing, no matter how many bodyguards Long Yuqing had, they couldn't stir any waves, in front of Huang Shengtian, they were all second-rate trash, unworthy of concern.

"Go upstairs and bring Ms. Huang down." Huang Shengtian gestured to Ah Cha.

"Yes."

Long Yuqing coldly watched Ah Cha walking towards the upstairs, having no means left to stop him, but just at this moment, Jin Jiuye brought his men in!

"Miss Long..."
