Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

As the reverberations of the explosion lingered, Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan reacted swiftly, their figures sweeping through the already shaken factory area like the wind, quickly disappearing into the night. The situation before them had become extremely complex, and every second they spent depended on their survival.

"Hurry! Let's go before they fully react!" Zhao Shufang urged nervously.

Lu Lingyuan nodded and whispered, "I've already contacted the people outside, and I expect support to arrive within half an hour. We can only buy time and try to delay them."

"Okay," Zhao Shufang replied without hesitation, then quickened her pace. She didn't dare to relax for even a moment, knowing full well that the situation had reached its most dangerous point, and any slight negligence could lead to their complete defeat.

The two crossed an abandoned truck lane and followed a hidden path. Silence reigned, broken only by the occasional rustle of the wind and the constant wailing of sirens in the distance. The night seemed strangely still. An oppressive atmosphere hung in the air, as if a thunderstorm would strike at any moment.

"I don't understand." Lu Lingyuan suddenly stopped, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Why is Yang Qiming so eager to speed up the process at this time? He clearly knows that we don't have all the evidence yet."

Zhao Shufang frowned, a cold look in her eyes. "Of course he knows we haven't fully proven his guilt, but he doesn't dare to delay any longer. We've already seen his true hand, and he doesn't dare to take any more risks."

"But why didn't he attack us directly, instead of adopting this delaying tactic?" Lu Lingyuan asked again, his eyes sharp. "Could it be...he has a backup plan?"

Zhao Shufang was silent for a moment, her mind racing. Finally, she slowly said, "It's not just a backup plan. He's probably waiting for an opportunity, or perhaps, the final decisive battle." Her tone was filled with confidence and conviction. "We've reached his weak spot, but he hasn't made a move yet. He knows the final battle will determine his life or death."

Lu Lingyuan thought for a moment, then nodded: "Are you saying that Yang Qiming is deliberately delaying time and setting a bigger trap for us?"

"That's right." Zhao Shufang's eyes flashed coldly. "Since he dares to force us like this, he must have made preparations, ready to launch a fatal attack at the most critical moment. We must find his true hiding place as soon as possible and completely thwart his plan."

"Then what should we do?" Lu Lingyuan's eyes became more determined. "We can't delay any longer. We must make a decision."

"For now, we can only try our best to delay," Zhao Shufang said calmly. "Also, I've already arranged a plan. Once we find a breakthrough, we can completely reverse the situation."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyuan, though filled with doubt, decided to trust Zhao Shufang's judgment. After all, the wisdom and composure she displayed in this complex situation had already surpassed ordinary people's imagination.

Just as the two were about to continue forward, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance, and then a black car quickly stopped at the exit of the factory area. Zhao Shufang's heart suddenly tightened, and her keen intuition told her that the enemy had come to her door.

"Hurry! Hide quickly!" Zhao Shufang ordered in a low voice, and pulled Lu Lingyuan quickly into a dilapidated warehouse next to them.

The warehouse was filled with discarded equipment and debris, and it was pitch black. Only the faint moonlight filtering through the broken window barely illuminated the ruins. The two men quietly hid in a corner, watching the movements outside with bated breath.

Soon after, the car door opened and several men in black walked out. Zhao Shufang's eyes flashed, and she realized that these men were obviously not ordinary men, but elites sent by Yang Qiming.

"Have you found them?" one of them asked in a low voice, his voice cold and indifferent.

"Not yet, we're still searching," another man replied, "but Mr. Yang has decided to resolve everything tonight."

"Then do it quickly and don't delay any longer." The third person said coldly.

Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan listened quietly to the conversation outside, and they understood more and more that Yang Qiming had obviously decided to resolve this matter once and for all. This also meant that their chances were becoming increasingly slim.

"What should we do now?" Lu Lingyuan asked nervously, "They have already started to round us up. Time is really running out."

Zhao Shufang frowned, a cold look flashing in her eyes: "Be patient for a moment, let me handle it."

She took a deep breath and said softly, "Divert their attention first and buy us some time."

After saying that, she stood up and quietly walked towards the back door of the warehouse. She knew that only by disrupting the enemy's rhythm could she give them a last chance.

Zhao Shufang nimbly made her way through the dilapidated warehouse to the back door. She concentrated and calmed herself, and the moment she opened the door, she suddenly pulled out a talisman and quickly affixed it to the wall near the door. Then, she abruptly turned and ran toward the other end of the abandoned factory area.

At the same time, several enemies in the warehouse were walking towards where they were hiding. Zhao Shufang deliberately made a slight noise, which immediately attracted their attention.

"There's someone!" a man shouted in a low voice, "Go and check!"

Several people turned and rushed in the direction of the sound. Zhao Shufang took the opportunity to quickly pass through a broken wall and jump into a nearby alley. She ran at full speed, with only one thought in her mind: she had to reunite with Lu Lingyuan as soon as possible and find the final breakthrough.

A few minutes later, Zhao Shufang successfully reunited with Lu Lingyuan, and the two quickly fled the factory area. However, the enemy's pursuit was also close behind them, and they never let down their guard.

"The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous." Lu Lingyuan whispered, "We must deal with Yang Qiming as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer."

"I know." Zhao Shufang responded in a deep voice, "But now, there is only one chance, and we can't miss it."
