Hearing Shen Yao's words, the two froze for a moment.
In the end, it was Zhang Zhe who broke first. "Yao Yao, don't mess around."
Seeing that Zhang Zhe had finally acknowledged her, Shen Yao smiled happily. "It's good that you're alive."
Shen Yao said this very seriously, without a hint of falseness. When she had seen the physiognomy of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, she knew that their appearances indicated something unusual.
She had considered many possibilities, thinking that Zhang Zhe might be elsewhere, his life or death unknown, or perhaps missing.
The idea of being an undercover agent had crossed her mind at first. But even if he were an undercover agent, he shouldn't have told his parents that he was already dead.
However, when she saw Zhang Zhe, she knew that this idea must have been agreed upon by Zhang Zhe.
It was a pity for Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, neither of whom knew whether their son was alive or dead. Therefore, Zhang Zhe had been selfless in the face of greater righteousness.
But in the face of family affection, he had been cruel, heartlessly leaving his elderly parents behind.
She couldn't judge whether Zhang Zhe's actions were right or wrong, because only he himself could judge them.
"Tell me, do you have an operation this time?" Shen Yao asked, looking at Zhang Zhe.
Looking at Shen Yao like this, Zhang Zhe's expression became somewhat dazed. The little sister they had protected behind them had now grown up.
Not only had she grown up, but she also had her own ideas and could now stand on her own.
"You are not suitable to be involved in this matter. Behave yourself." Zhang Zhe said to Shen Yao, his tone still the same one used to coax a child.
Shen Yao didn't want to argue with him any further. "Do you think you can deal with so many of them by yourself?"
Shen Yao said, pointing her hand in several directions.
With each direction Shen Yao pointed, Zhang Zhe's pupils contracted, because in all the places Shen Yao indicated, people were hidden in the shadows.
"How did you find out?!" Zhang Zhe's tone was full of shock, because he had secretly surveyed those places before knowing there were people there.
Shen Yao smiled. "If I say it's intuition, will you believe me? Brother A Zhe."
"I believe you!"
Just as Shen Yao was about to say something, she suddenly heard a scream from downstairs.
Zhang Zhe hurriedly told Shen Yao to leave quickly. When Shen Yao heard the sound, she immediately became alert and then sidestepped, pressing herself against the window.
She tried her best to keep her figure from appearing by the window, fearing that people elsewhere might observe the room.
"You hide here first and find an opportunity to leave quickly."
After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, he adjusted his emotions, and a cold expression was immediately fixed on his face.
Zhang Zhe then acted as if he had been disturbed, getting up with great commotion. He stood up abruptly, walked to the door, and pulled it open.
"Click."
The sound of the door lock engaging was heard. Shen Yao held her breath, making no sound.
Only when she felt the people observing from all sides begin to move, slowly approaching the villa, did she leap from the second floor the moment they stepped into the villa.
Then she disappeared into the night.
Shen Yao didn't leave far, but found a tree from a distance and hid at the top.
The tree was very tall, and with the cover of night, no one noticed that someone was hiding in it.
Shen Yao slowly released her consciousness, targeting the small villa.
Zhang Zhe appeared at the top of the stairs with an angry expression. When he appeared, the hall was already filled with people.
In the middle of them were a man and a woman, both of whom were covered in injuries to their faces, hands, and bodies.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Zhe asked, frowning.
The two people lying on the ground were Serna's right-hand men. They were highly trusted by Serna, and their authority among these people was second only to Serna's.
Since they were so injured, it was natural that Serna had approved it.
"Alice, Raggi, what happened to you two?" asked a man wearing only his underwear.
At this moment, his body was covered in ambiguous marks, and beside him stood a woman in similarly disheveled clothing.
"Boss, we haven't done anything to betray you. We've followed you for so long, can't we earn your trust!"
Alice clutched her chest, which hurt from being hit, and looked at Serna in disbelief.
Seeing her like this, the people around him were somewhat contemptuous.
After all, everyone in their group knew that Alice liked Serna.
Even though Serna had never even looked at her directly, and even treated her as a dispensable bed partner.
She was still deeply in love with Serna. In the words of their group, she was stupid!
To talk about feelings with Serna?
It would be more straightforward to talk about money with him!
It was known that people in their line of work were not qualified to have feelings. Let alone feelings, they could even abandon their relatives at critical moments. What was the use of meaningless emotions?
"Clang."
Serna directly threw out a card. The card was the common metallic color, but this single card made everyone's expression change.
"Then tell me, where did you get this from?" Serna's tone was very cold, like a demon from hell, capable of taking a life at any moment.
"No, no, this thing isn't mine!" Alice's pupils widened sharply, and she looked at the card on the ground in fear and trepidation, as if it were not a card, but a death warrant.
"Stop making excuses. I found this in your room." said another woman standing next to Serna.
If Shen Yao were present, she would definitely recognize this woman as the one who had provocatively challenged them when they were leaving.
Judging by the woman's current attitude, her status among these people was definitely not low.
"Aileen, don't slander me. If you found this, how could you not have secretly taken it and put it in my room!" Alice's voice was hysterical.
However, her words were still clear and logical.
It was just that no one present was willing to listen to her, not even Zhang Zhe.
If this card truly belonged to Alice, then their plan could no longer proceed.
But for this plan, they had invested so much effort. Were they really going to waste another opportunity like this for nothing!
Zhang Zhe clenched his arm, appearing to be furious.
However, at this moment, his anger was consistent with the current situation, as many people shared the same thoughts.
"Boss, just throw them into the sea to feed the sharks! Damn it!"
The hot-tempered ones could no longer hold back, not wanting to listen to Alice's nonsense anymore.
