A child playing outside with their father, upon seeing a monstrous-looking person, would hide behind their father out of fear.
Du Junlin was currently in such a state.
This filled Li Qianfan with an indescribable sense of pride.
He casually patted her knee, "Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
Bai Ziyan immediately pouted.
Du Junlin, however, quietly retorted, "I'm half a year older than you. You should call me sister."
What?
Li Qianfan was startled. She truly hadn't expected Du Junlin to say such a thing to her.
If it were just a few days ago, even if Du Junlin were tortured to death, she wouldn't have let Li Qianfan call her sister.
It seemed that the stimulation from the lesbian encounter was the most effective!
At the very least, it had awakened some of her instincts as a normal girl.
After saying that, Du Junlin lowered her head.
She was surely also wondering how she could say such "mushy" words to Li Qianfan.
"Alright, Wood Sister, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
Li Qianfan said, going along with it, and picked up her phone.
Now, it was time to get down to serious business. Li Qianfan wasn't in the mood to bicker about sisters with anyone.
She looked at the photo on the screen.
Her eyes grew colder—
"They are setting a trap in the Blackwater Forest to hunt my countrymen. Due to environmental and other reasons, I am temporarily powerless."
"But I can go to their homeland and kill all their relatives."
"Their homeland cannot possibly become the battlefield of the Blackwater Forest, can it?"
Li Qianfan smiled sinisterly.
Bai Ziyan interjected, "Is it a massacre of the entire family?"
"No."
Li Qianfan shook her head. "Exterminating an entire family is too cruel."
Bai Ziyan immediately let out a scoffing sound.
She liked exterminating entire families—
But Li Qianfan then said, "It's annihilation of the clan."
Bai Ziyan—
Li Qianfan asked, "Are you going to tell me that harming families, and butchering women and children is immoral, and other such nonsense?"
"First, I am a lesbian, but I am not a saint. Second, I never speak nonsense."
Bai Ziyan scoffed again. "On the contrary, I would look down on you if you dared not lay a hand on those women and children. Because they are able to live a good life is thanks to those beasts who kill other people's relatives out there!"
Although what she said was not absolute, it definitely had merit.
"Don't worry about this. The moment they defiled my sisters to death and then hung them up, it was decided that their families' women and children would also suffer such a tragic fate."
Li Qianfan said expressionlessly to this point and extended her right hand to Bai Ziyan.
Bai Ziyan, full of confusion, still shook his hand.
Li Qianfan said seriously, "Bai Ziyan, I hope you can forget all the grudges between us. Please use your greatest ability to stir up a storm of blood in those people's hometowns."
"Deal!"
Bai Ziyan readily agreed, then asked, "You won't hold me accountable for anything I've done before, right?"
Li Qianfan nodded solemnly.
"Then alright."
Bai Ziyan immediately said, "Then I'll tell you now. I was the one who organized the 'Slay the Hu' team to go over there."
Oh.
Oh oh—
Wait a minute!?
Li Qianfan instinctively nodded, then his eyes widened abruptly.
Du Junlin also paused for a moment, then instinctively exclaimed, "What did you say?"
"I organized the 'Slay the Hu' team. I am the leader of the 'Slay the Hu' team, codenamed Emperor."
Bai Ziyan dared not make eye contact with Li Qianfan.
But she knew even better that this was her best opportunity for "confession and leniency."
"So, you are that foolish Emperor?"
Li Qianfan finally came to his senses.
Even if he were beaten to death—
He wouldn't believe that the culprit who organized the 'Slay the Hu' team, ran headfirst into the enemy's trap, causing so many good sons and daughters of the East to spill blood in a foreign land was Bai Ziyan!
"Yes, I was thinking too naively back then."
Bai Ziyan chuckled sheepishly and nodded.
With a bang!
Li Qianfan's left hand, like a viper, fiercely gripped Bai Ziyan's neck.
He truly hated the Emperor who organized the 'Slay the Hu' team.
From a personal perspective, Hua Yeshen's grandson, the two brothers from Li Family Village, and Wang Zhe were all his friends and relatives.
From the perspective of a descendant of Yan Huang, so many good children, who now knew they would die but still rushed forward like moths to a flame!
All of this was because of the foolishness of the "Emperor."
He dreamed of finding the Emperor and killing her.
Now—
Not only was Li Qianfan furious, with a hurricane of killing intent rising from the ground,
Even Du Junlin, who was hiding behind him, straightened her back, secretly baring her fangs and claws, looking eager to try.
"You, you said!"
Bai Ziyan's face instantly turned red as she struggled to shout, "As long as I wholeheartedly help you, you would forgive and forget. How can you break your promise?"
Choke her to death.
Little hooligan, quickly choke her to death!
Don't listen to her sophistry—
Du Junlin frantically incited in her heart, preparing to listen to the sound of Bai Ziyan's throat being crushed by Li Qianfan.
But she was disappointed.
Li Qianfan slowly loosened his grip.
Bai Ziyan immediately lowered her head and coughed violently.
After a long time.
She finally looked up at Li Qianfan and said hatefully, "Liar who doesn't keep his word! I know I fell into the enemy's trap by mistake and caused many deaths! But my initial intention was good. Don't you want to kill that idiotic old geezer?"
Did Li Qianfan want to?
Of course, he did.
And he wanted it desperately!
But some things, you couldn't do just because you wanted to.
"Besides."
Bai Ziyan continued, "When I was organizing the 'Slay the Hu' team, I didn't force anyone to participate. Those people volunteered. And I made it very clear beforehand that if they unfortunately died, I would give a large sum of money to their families to help them support their families. As for those who rushed forward to their deaths, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I didn't tell them to go."
"Shut your stinking mouth."
Li Qianfan said coldly.
Bai Ziyan, however, stubbornly asked, "If I hadn't confessed voluntarily, would you have known that I was the Emperor of the 'Slay the Hu' team?"
If she hadn't said it, Li Qianfan certainly wouldn't have known.
"My voluntary confession is for the sake of sincere cooperation."
Bai Ziyan said, "I will use my utmost ability to help you kill all those people's families and give them the most painful revenge. But you? You treat me like this. Heh. If you really kill me, who else can help you like I can?"
Du Junlin couldn't help but interject, "This is the mess you caused. It's only natural for you to help us."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Bai Ziyan immediately nodded. "You're right. Whatever you say to me is right."
Du Junlin hastily hid her small head behind Li Qianfan again.
She dared not make eye contact with Bai Ziyan—
"Alright. You help me with all your might and atone for your past foolishness."
Li Qianfan said slowly, "After all, things have already happened, and killing you won't help. And I promise I will never tell anyone that you are the leader of the 'Slay the Hu' team, Emperor."
He made this promise for fear that Bai Ziyan would worry that he would cross the bridge and burn the boat, and wouldn't help him wholeheartedly.
Du Junlin also realized how important a super hacker was to their operation.
She made a brief appearance, "I also promise I won't tell anyone."
Bai Ziyan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Let's not mention this matter again."
Li Qianfan said, "We'll leave for the airport in half an hour. I'll tell you my plan."
Plan—
They needed a "legitimate" identity to go to Dongyang.
Among the three, Bai Ziyan, a business elite, was the CEO of a certain company.
Li Qianfan was her bodyguard, and Du Junlin was her secretary.
As for which hotel they would stay in after arriving in Dongyang, they would have to adapt to the situation to ensure the secrecy of their movements.
The key was.
All three of them had to disguise themselves!
Disguise techniques were not a big deal for Li Qianfan and Du Junlin.
Bai Ziyan didn't know how.
Li Qianfan personally handled it. After a few minutes, he transformed her from a young girl into a woman in her thirties.
She looked exactly like the passport photo that had been prepared for her long ago.
"Here's your medicine."
Li Qianfan took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to Du Junlin. "Originally, I planned to give you the antidote after we got to Dongyang. But now I feel there's no need. Right now, the three of us must give up all our grudges and unite."
Du Junlin snatched the medicine bottle and, without even looking, unscrewed the cap and poured it into her mouth.
She picked up a cup of water, took a few sips, stood up, and walked slowly into the courtyard.
She paced in the courtyard, which would accelerate the drug's effect.
Indeed!
When she reached the fifth lap, she felt that two-thirds of the powerful Du Junlin had returned.
When Madam Bai, dressed in a business skirt and with her hair elegantly pinned up, walked out of the living room with her little secretary "Yang Fan," Du Junlin had habitually put her hands behind her back and was looking at them with cold eyes.
"The small white car parked on the street outside is what I prepared long ago."
Li Qianfan threw the car keys to Bai Ziyan. "You go wait for me outside first. We'll be out soon."
Bai Ziyan also noticed the change in Du Junlin's spirit and energy, and quickly nodded and hurried out of the house.
"Three minutes."
Li Qianfan walked up to Du Junlin, his face full of impatience. "Whether you want to scold me or hit me, I guarantee I won't fight back or retort. But don't delay our operation."
Du Junlin had been ambushed by him, which led to her being successively "humiliated" by him, Chu Yazhi, and especially Bai Ziyan!
Anyone in Du Junlin's position, after her combat power was fully restored, would have settled the score with Li Qianfan.
Du Junlin, with her hands behind her back, clenched her fists tightly and said in a low voice, "I won't scold you, nor will I hit you. But this score! I will settle it with you sooner or later."
Li Qianfan rolled his eyes. "Settle what? If I hadn't ambushed you, you would have foolishly run to the Blackwater Forest and died. You should thank me. Even if in the end, we might still perish in the Blackwater Forest, at least before we die, we can take care of those people's families and get our money back in advance."
Du Junlin fell silent.
Li Qianfan was impatient—
"You're right."
Du Junlin said in time. "I have two questions for you."
Li Qianfan said irritably, "Hurry up."
Du Junlin looked into his eyes. "Have you and Shen Chongchong gotten together?"
Li Qianfan, who had known for a long time that Shen Chongchong had confessed to him, answered without hesitation, "Yes, we have."
"How good are you together?"
Du Junlin's voice trembled uncontrollably.
Li Qianfan raised his hand and made a gesture.
Du Junlin gritted out three words from between her teeth.
Little hooligan.
Hmm.
These three words were very familiar to Li Qianfan; he had heard them so often his ears were calloused.
"The second thing."
Du Junlin lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice, "I really regret breaking off our engagement now."
"Little sister, it's too late!"
Li Qianfan raised his hand, patted her shoulder heavily, and strode towards the door. "A man like me is destined to be unobtainable by you! After this is over, you should find a man who truly loves you and marry him."
Du Junlin stood still.
Hearing the car honking outside to urge them, she then said in a low voice, "If I can't have him, no one else will!"
