Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Seeing Ye Chen's sudden change in expression, Ji Ruoyu asked, "What's wrong? Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Ye Chen snapped out of his daze and looked at Ji Ruoyu, saying, "You're overthinking it."

As he spoke, Ye Chen turned his head and carefully sensed the direction from which the killing intent was coming.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyu thought Ye Chen was angry. She frowned slightly but didn't say anything more and turned her head away as well.

Ye Chen soon realized that a murderous intent lingered around his car.

In other words, the other party's target is either himself or Ji Ruoyu.

However, no matter who the other party's target is, Ye Chen has no intention of letting them go.

However, the other party did not make any significant moves at this time, and Ye Chen, considering Ji Ruoyu's safety, could only secretly prepare.

He tilted his head and looked out of the car, his expression slightly serious.

Ji Ruoyu glanced back at Ye Chen several times and saw his expression, which was slightly furrowed, but she didn't say anything.

A brief silence fell over the carriage, and soon the convoy returned to the Ji family's villa.

As soon as Ye Chen got out of the car, he sensed that there was also a hidden danger within the villa.

It seems that the other party not only arranged for people to follow them, but also had people lying in ambush at their home long ago.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, realizing that his group was likely under constant surveillance.

Ji Ruoyu had no idea what Ye Chen was thinking. After getting out of the car, she walked straight into the villa.

Ye Chen followed behind with a solemn expression, wary of any possible attack.

Back in the villa, Ji Ruoyu went straight into her room.

Ye Chen wanted to go in, but Ji Ruoyu blocked him from entering.

Faced with Ji Ruoyu's cold expression, Ye Chen couldn't very well explain that they had been targeted by assassins.

I had no choice but to stand at the doorway and let my mental perception run wild.

In case of any situation, he can react immediately.

However, he soon felt a burning sensation in his nose and a surge of heat rising in his lower abdomen.

This was because Ji Ruoyu started taking off her clothes after returning to her room, clearly preparing to take a shower.

Ye Chen, having activated his spiritual perception, was as if he had activated holographic vision, allowing him to observe everything from all angles without any perspective.

Ji Ruoyu, however, was completely unaware, humming a light tune as she walked towards the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, I turned on the tap and started filling the bathtub with water, and in the meantime...

Ji Ruoyu wasn't idle either. Standing in front of the mirror, she began to admire her figure, striking several different poses.

Ye Chen, who had been watching the whole thing, was filled with excitement and had an urge to howl like a wolf and rush in.

Just then, a slight sound came from outside the window.

Ye Chen frowned and said unhappily, "Damn it, you're interfering with my important business!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen's figure disappeared, and the next second he appeared on top of the bay window of the villa.

At this moment, a man in black was pressed against the wall, his ear against the surface, listening intently to the sounds coming from inside the room.

Completely unaware that Ye Chen was already standing less than a meter behind him.

Ye Chen did not make a move immediately, but stood there quietly, wanting to see what tricks the man in black was going to play.

After listening for a while, the man in black raised an eyebrow and said, "Judging from the noise, it sounds like they're taking a bath. This could be an opportunity to infiltrate."

"But to kidnap a woman and arrange an entire assassin squad is making a mountain out of a molehill."

As he was about to turn and sneak in, he suddenly found himself unable to move.

The man in black's eyes immediately turned to terror, not knowing what had happened.

At this moment, Ye Chen placed one hand on the back of the man in black's neck, stopping his movements.

Then he leaned close to the man in black's ear and said calmly, "Tell us your purpose and the organization behind you, or you will die."

Hearing this voice, which sounded like whispers from hell, the man in black became even more terrified, but now he couldn't even commit suicide.

Having learned his lesson from that assassin before, Ye Chen was determined not to repeat the same mistake.

Seeing that the man in black remained silent, Ye Chen suddenly produced a ring in his hand.

It's the same style of ring that the previous chauffeur killer used to commit suicide.

Ye Chen immediately understood and said, "The Night Fiends, it seems the person behind them is really persistent."

Upon hearing Ye Chen call out the name of his organization, the man in black visibly panicked and asked, "How did you know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth.

Ye Chen sneered and said, "Speak, who sent you? Is there anyone else targeting you besides Ji Ruoyu?"

Upon hearing this, the man in black gritted his teeth, but Ye Chen smiled coldly and twitched the finger that was pointing at the back of the man's neck.

Instantly, the man in black felt as if his body was being torn apart by countless ants, a stinging, tingling, and itchy sensation that caused his face to contort in pain.

In those ten short seconds, it felt like an eternity to the man in black.

After Ye Chen stopped, he spoke again: "State your target and the number of people."

The assassin gritted his teeth, and Ye Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent as he flicked his fingers again.

The man in black's facial muscles trembled violently, and he finally couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "I...I'll talk!"

Ye Chen stopped immediately, and then heard the man in black say, "We have a team of ten people. Our targets are Ji Ruoyu and the great-grandmother of the Ji family."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed, and he immediately exerted force with his fingers, sending a burst of internal energy piercing into the black-clad man's cervical spine.

With a soft cracking sound, the man in black shuddered and collapsed, lifeless.

Ye Chen's figure disappeared from the spot and headed towards the main villa where the Ji family's great-grandmother was located.

Tonight is dark and windy, perfect for murder and burying a body.

Ye Chen extended his mental perception outwards and quickly discovered the hidden killing intent.

There were four people at this moment. They had already reached the window of the Ji family's great-grandmother.

One person was spraying something on the outdoor unit of the central air conditioning system.

Soon, all the servants and butlers in the main villa could be seen yawning and collapsing to the ground.

Inside the room, Ji's great-grandmother was also slumped over the desk.

Outside the window, several men in black saw this and the leader said, "The drug has taken effect. Move out immediately. Don't touch the old woman yet. We'll deal with her after we find the formula."

Several men in black nodded and entered the bedroom of the Ji family's great-grandmother through the window, where they began searching the room.

They quickly found the hidden compartment, concealed by the Ji family portrait hanging on the wall.

After opening the hidden compartment, a pure alloy combination safe appeared before them.

To prevent anyone from simply moving the safe, the entire fuse was embedded in the wall.

Four men in black stood around the safe, staring at the safe that was completely embedded in the wall and sealed off.

The leader of the men in black said with a grim expression, "Damn it, third brother, can you open this safe?"

The man in black, who was called the third brother, shook his head and said, "No, this kind of old-fashioned safe is a purely mechanical lock."

"It requires a key and a password. I'm good at electronic locks, so maybe Lao Ba can give it a try."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the men in black looked even more displeased, because Lao Ba's figure was too bulky.

The operation was supposed to be a lookout exercise, but we never expected something like this to happen.

After all, these old-fashioned, purely mechanical safes are quite rare these days.

Nowadays, most people use smart safes, which automatically sound an alarm if the alarm is triggered.

So he even brought along his third brother, who is good at opening smart locks. If he had known it would be like this, he would have brought his eighth brother instead.

"Second brother, go out and tell Eighth brother to come in from the back. Everyone in this building is drugged now, so it should be fine."

Upon hearing this, one of the men in black turned and walked away. Five minutes later, the leader of the men in black suddenly frowned.

"Why hasn't the second brother come back yet after so long? Could something have happened to him?" the third man in black asked.

The leader of the men in black frowned and said, "We scouted the area before we came. There are no experts here, even if they were discovered by the security guards."

"Given the skills of the second and third brothers, they should be safe. Let's wait a bit longer; something might be delaying them."

Silence fell in the room again. Suddenly, the leader of the men in black noticed something, and his eyes turned somewhat frightened.

Since there were originally four men in black in the room, after the second brother left, there should be three left.

But at this moment, only he and the third brother were there, while the fourth brother, who was originally behind the third brother, had disappeared at some point.

And it disappeared without a trace, without making a sound.

Instantly, the leader of the men in black sensed the danger and suddenly turned around and threw a punch.
