"Okay! Haha, it's been ages since we last met, and I really miss you!" Wei Ming said with a seemingly cordial smile, his lips curled slightly upwards. However, if an uninformed bystander heard this, they might mistakenly believe he and He Li had an incredibly deep friendship.

Then, Wei Ming changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming gloomy: "But I have to kindly advise you, don't do anything rash! If I find out there's someone sneaking up on you, humph, don't blame me for being rude! The worst that can happen is we'll all perish together. Then, with you and Gu Yan accompanying me to the underworld, I won't feel so lonely!"

You have to understand that over the past two years, Wei Ming had endured hardships and sufferings unimaginable to ordinary people. Yet, despite this, his weathered heart remained unwavering, and instead grew even stronger. Deep within him, he held onto a single, unwavering conviction: only revenge could sustain his continued survival.

Faced with Wei Ming's threatening words, He Li had no choice. He could only suppress his unease and anger and feign composure, replying, "Okay, I'll do as you say." After successfully obtaining Wei Ming's address, He Li quickly hung up the phone without hesitation and flung the phone away at top speed. He knew that every minute, even every second, of delay could lead to unforeseen and serious consequences. Even if Gu Yan and he ultimately couldn't be together, he at least had to do his utmost to ensure her safety.

Time ticked by, and about an hour later, He Li finally reached the beach. From afar, the waves crashed against the shore, creating a roaring sound. Just off the shore, a speedboat sat quietly docked, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

Indeed, just as He Li had anticipated, Wei Ming's men were already waiting here. Gazing at the familiar scene, memories flooded back. Years ago, a similar scene unfolded here. They might have been young and energetic then, but now, time had flown by, and everything had changed.

He Li knew this trip was fraught with danger. From all indications, Wei Ming had returned with a vengeance in mind. Setting foot on that island would be like stepping into the gates of hell, with life or death uncertain. Yet, even so, He Li boarded the enemy's speedboat without hesitation. With the roar of its engines, the speedboat sped off like an arrow from a bow, swiftly dispersing into the distance.

The sea breeze whistled across my face, bringing a slight chill. Beneath this seemingly calm surface, how many unknown dangers and conspiracies lurked? No one could possibly know. And just then, in an unnoticed corner, He Li quietly tossed a golden business card onto the beach. This card might be the key to breaking the current predicament.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and the speedboat finally docked. He Li, under the hostage-taking of the others, boarded the mysterious island. Following the winding path, he soon arrived at a dilapidated wooden house.

He Li took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door of the wooden house.

The room was filled with a damp, decayed smell that made people feel a little depressed. Looking closely, they saw Huo Bingci and Ming Luoluo huddled in a corner, their mouths tightly sealed, unable to make a sound.

When they saw He Li suddenly appear in front of them, a trace of fear and anxiety immediately flashed in their eyes.

Just as He Li was about to take a step forward, a sharp gust of wind suddenly came from behind him! In a flash, He Li's eyes focused, and his body suddenly flashed. With astonishing speed, he completed a sideways flip and narrowly avoided the deadly arrow shot from the darkness!

After he landed safely on the ground, a wave of fear welled up in his heart. However, within a moment, he realized that it was Wei Ming seeking revenge on him—revenge for the arrow he had shot at him that year!

"Wei Ming, since I have arrived as promised, why do you have to resort to such despicable and insidious means?" He Li shouted angrily, his eyes fixed on the direction where the enemy might be hiding in the darkness ahead.

Then, a burst of crisp, slow applause echoed through the silent space. Following the applause, Wei Ming slowly emerged from the darkness, a smug, mocking smile plastered across his face.

"I really didn't expect that, He Li, even though you were seriously injured, you were still so agile and strong. It's really impressive. But... hehe, do you think you can be safe like this? You were lucky enough to dodge an arrow this time, but there will be a second and a third waiting for you. Let's see if you can be so lucky every time!" Wei Ming said with a sneer, his tone full of threats.

Hearing this, He Li frowned slightly, wondering: What exactly is Wei Ming planning? Why did he say such a thing? But the situation was critical, and he couldn't afford to dwell on it. So, suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice, "I have come as promised, and I will keep my promise to let you leave Beihuai. However, the prerequisite for all this is that Gu Yan must be alive! Now tell me, where is she? I want to see her immediately!"

"Want to see Gu Yan? Humph! That's just a foolish dream! Unless..." Wei Ming smiled coldly, staring at He Li with eyes like a poisonous snake, "You first poke out one of your own eyes. Only then will I consider letting you get what you want." At this time, the island was completely controlled by Wei Ming's men. They were densely distributed in every corner, forming an impenetrable line of defense.

Despite He Li's agility and skill, two fists are no match for four. Facing such a large and well-trained enemy, if Wei Ming were determined to take his life, today would likely be He Li's end. However, death wasn't the most horrific outcome for He Li, because Wei Ming didn't truly want him to simply die.

Wei Ming's heart was filled with a twisted hatred and a desire for revenge. He longed to see He Li suffer in agony, a state worse than death. He wanted to trample He Li beneath his feet, reducing him to a decaying creature stuck in the mud. Furthermore, Wei Ming wanted Gu Yan to witness her beloved suffer this torture, forever plunging into a dark abyss, unable to escape.

"Alright! It's just an eye, isn't it? As long as I can see Gu Yan, I'll give it to you!" He Li gritted his teeth and answered without hesitation. His voice was firm, but it also revealed a hint of despair and helplessness. Upon hearing this, Wei Ming couldn't help but burst into a shrill, wild laugh that sounded like it came from the Netherworld, chilling and terrifying.

Only a short minute passed, but for everyone present, it felt like a long, agonizing experience. At this heart-wrenching moment, Gu Yan finally returned to the somewhat shabby wooden house, carefully escorted by a group of nervous, hurried medical staff.

At this moment, Gu Yan's eyes were tightly closed, completely unconscious. Her once fair complexion had turned as pale as paper, a sight that was heartbreaking. If it weren't for the dedicated and meticulous care of the well-trained medical staff surrounding her, her condition would have been even more critical, potentially even life-threatening.

"What on earth did you do to her!?"

He Li couldn't believe how a person who was fine before could become so weak now, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Faced with this, Wei Ming simply snorted coldly, his face revealing an unreadable expression. He replied icily, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything drastic to her. After all, she's my wife. How could I take her life so easily? All I did was to completely erase Gong Jin from her memory, just as she had forgotten you."

Hearing this, He Li was furious. His eyes widened as he angrily questioned Wei Ming, "You crazy lunatic! Don't you know the serious consequences of using such means? You keep saying that you love Gu Yan, but in fact, almost every harm she has suffered was caused by you! First, you brutally murdered her savior, Jiang Hao, and then you personally destroyed her bright future. Wei Ming, Wei Ming, you truly deserve to die!"

At this moment, He Li's heart burned with rage. He had never wanted to get rid of this scumbag so strongly before. If possible, even if it meant sacrificing his own life and dying together with Wei Ming, he would not hesitate.

Because only in this way can justice be sought for Gu Yan, and only in this way can the once kind and beautiful woman no longer suffer further torture and suffering.

"So what? As long as I can stay with Gu Yan forever, even if she suffers a little harm for this, to me, this is just a small price to pay!"

After saying this, Wei Ming was no longer willing to waste words with He Li. He just turned his eyes slightly and gave a wink to his men hiding in the shadows.

Instantly, a dark figure flashed out like a ghost, aiming the black muzzle of a gun at He Li. With a bang, a bullet shot out like lightning, striking He Li's knee. Instantly, the pain was intense, and He Li's body staggered, half-kneeling on the cold, hard ground.

However, before Wei Ming could personally shoot the fatal arrow that would blind He Li, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly came from outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a loud bang, a big hole was suddenly torn open in the originally sturdy wooden house.

Amidst the flying wood chips and dust, Gong Jin, Chen Liang, and Ah Da rushed into the wooden house with great momentum. They were well-trained and agile, and in the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the entire wooden house.

At this time, the medical staff in the room saw that the situation was not good. They were frightened and turned pale. They fled in panic and had no time to care about Gu Yan who was lying on the ground.

Poor Gu Yan was abandoned there all alone, like a candle in the wind, fragile and helpless.
