"Since they're just two ordinary people, why did you entrust the item to them?" the woman countered.

Huai Yi wore a matter-of-fact expression. "Didn't you say it was dangerous to keep it on me?"

"Besides, you have no idea how strange that door was." Seeming to recall the scene, Huai Yi's lips paled as he said, "More than ten of us went in, and only three of us came out alive."

The woman considered it briefly, deciding that Huai Yi probably wouldn't dare to lie. Time was of the essence, and she demanded that Huai Yi take them to find the Red Blood Pact immediately.

"Now?" Huai Yi asked.

"Is it inconvenient?"

"No, no, it's not that." Huai Yi waved his hand, appearing very cooperative. "I just think it's too late. I need to make a phone call to confirm where they are."

"Fine," the woman said, staring at Huai Yi. "But I'm warning you, don't try any tricks, or you know the consequences."

"Understood, understood."

Huai Yi tremblingly took out his phone and dialed Jiang Cheng's number. "Hey, Xiao Jiangzi, it's your Brother Huai." Huai Yi's tone was casual and arrogant, as if he always spoke to Jiang Cheng like this. "Keep an eye on that thing for me. I've contacted a new buyer who's offering a good price. I'm coming to get it now. Where are you?"

Because the woman forced Huai Yi to put the phone on speaker, they heard Jiang Cheng's voice clearly, "I'm at the Jin Fan Hotel. I've been carrying it with me."

"I'll come find you right away. Have it ready."

"Don't worry, Brother Huai."

Upon hearing the words "Brother Huai," Huai Yi felt relieved.

Jiang Cheng was a smart man, and he would catch on quickly. He definitely knew that there was a problem on his side.

Since he had taken the initiative to suggest meeting at the Jin Fan Hotel, he must have figured out a way to deal with it.

He had never considered playing both sides. He stood firmly with Jiang Cheng on this matter, and he didn't trust the woman's sincerity.

Once they successfully obtained the Red Blood Pact, his only outcome would be death.

Huai Yi could tell that these people were not to be trifled with.

Being able to pinpoint his location and show up so quickly meant that they were connected to the website, that the website had leaked his personal information.

So even if these people weren't Watchmen, they were connected to them.

And if such a thing were to be leaked, it would be a blow to both the website's credibility and the Watchmen's reputation.

So no matter the outcome, they would silence him in the end.

But Jiang Cheng was different. Although he was a Crimson, he hadn't shown any obvious killing intent towards him, or he would have been dead long ago.

Watchmen or Crimson, Huai Yi chose the latter.

He wanted to help Jiang Cheng get rid of these people, preferably find out who was behind them, and then use the power of the Crimson to wipe them out completely, eliminating any future threats.

After all, the Crimson's reputation was well-known, so they wouldn't be targeted, but he couldn't afford to be. He just wanted to live happily with his little sister-in-laws.

Stuffed into the car, Huai Yi had a coat thrown over him. The convoy of cars headed towards the Jin Fan Hotel under the cover of night.

Upon receiving the call, Jiang Cheng immediately realized that someone was coming for him, that their target was the red paper, most likely the people who were seeking a transaction on the website.

After analyzing the situation, Jiang Cheng determined that Huai Yi's position was secure, otherwise, there was no need for him to give him a warning over the phone.

Originally, Jiang Cheng also wanted to find someone to ask about the red paper, but he didn't expect someone to deliver themselves to his door.

Good, now he didn't have to go fishing.

He immediately set off for the Jin Fan Hotel. It was very close, only a few minutes' drive. On the way, he sent a message to Pi Ruan, asking him to help arrange things.

Before getting out of the car, he received Pi Ruan's reply that everything was taken care of.

Lin Wan'er said that Pi Ruan was sick, and thinking about it, he hadn't seen him in a while.

Before, that guy would always try to get his attention for no reason.

Arriving at the room, Jiang Cheng made some simple preparations. Now, all that was left was to wait for the fish to take the bait.

The Jin Fan Hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in Rong City, with a good location, not far from the police station. This was why Jiang Cheng chose this place for the meeting.

To make the other party more cautious and not dare to make too much noise.

Sure enough, after observing the area around the hotel, the foreign woman in the lead's expression turned ugly. If they made too much noise here, it would be difficult to deal with.

But when she thought that the other party was just ordinary people, even worse than this Huai Yi, her expression slowly changed back.

"Sol, you come with me," the woman said to a man in the back row. "And you." She looked at Huai Yi, who was shivering from the cold, and threatened, "Be honest and don't try any tricks."

"Of course, but..." Huai Yi stared at the black leather case in the strong man's hand in the back row. "I want to bring the case. Once you get the Red Blood Pact, we'll exchange the money and the goods at the same time."

The woman sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she nodded solemnly in agreement.

The man named Sol was the first to get out of the car. His appearance was closer to Asian than the others, probably a mixed-race.

The woman pulled Huai Yi out of the car, and the two walked towards the hotel, close together.

The two were very intimate, looking like a couple, but only Huai Yi knew that there was a gun hidden under her windbreaker, pointing at his lower body.

If the gun went off, even if he survived, at least half of the joy of the rest of his life would be gone.

Taking the elevator to the 17th floor, Jiang Cheng's room was located here. The woman controlled Huai Yi, signaling the man named Sol to go forward.

Sol gently pushed, and the door opened.

Without time to think, he pulled out the dagger from his chest the moment he entered the room. The woman followed closely behind, holding Huai Yi hostage.

The room was dark, with only the light in the bathroom on the right not far away. The sound of flushing came from inside, as if someone was taking a shower.

"Brother Huai," Jiang Cheng's voice came from the bathroom, muffled but with a hint of post-shower pleasure. "I just ordered some fast food. It's quite exciting, I must say. I'll take a shower first, and then order some for you too, hehehe..."

Across from the bathroom, not far away, was a half-open door. The first thing the man named Sol did was not to check the bathroom, but the half-open door.

He gripped his dagger tightly, approaching step by step.

Just as he concentrated and opened the door, there was nothing inside.

Only a bed, the blanket on the bed was messy, and the pillow was thrown on the floor, as if a fierce battle had taken place.

Just as the man breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around to check the bathroom, a figure fell from above him, slamming an elbow hard into the man's neck.

At the same time, Huai Yi, who had been prepared, immediately took action, grabbing the woman's wrist and pinning her to the ground.
