Outside the restaurant, a figure slipped in like a ghost, evading all the watchful eyes and arrived at the private room’s entrance.
Master Leu, who stood guard at the doorway, had already sensed sothing amiss and straightened his posture, saying coldly, "Scoundrel, this isn’t where you belong, get the hell out!"
Ye Ming looked at him with equally cold eyes and shouted, "The one who should get lost is you!"
Master Leu’s brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of anger appeared on his face as he cursed, "Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t bla for not being polite!"
Before he could finish his words, Ye Ming had already made his move.
All at once, Ye Ming pushed off the ground and charged forward, closing the distance between him and Master Leu.
"Die!"
Ye Ming’s eyes were blood-red, filled with murderous intent.
Master Leu was shocked, having not expected Ye Ming to possess such high martial skills.
However, he was a battle-hardened veteran and had seen many major fights before.
After a brief mont of shock, he imdiately raised his hand to block, colliding with Ye Ming’s palm and unleashing a massive wave of energy.
Their clash caught the attention of the other two bodyguards, who rushed over to assist without hesitation and joined the fight.
These two bodyguards were Wan Yang’s personal guards. Although they had previously witnessed Ye Ming in action and had been frightened by him, now with Master Leu present as a shield, the courage of the two surged.
With the combined effort of the three, they finally managed to push Ye Ming back.
Master Leu let out a sigh of relief and secretly marveled at the close call.
Fortunately, he had managed to stop Ye Ming.
"Thank you both for your help!" Master Leu imdiately said to Wan Yang’s two personal bodyguards.
He knew well that inside the private room, a dramatic scene was playing out, a matter of great importance, and he absolutely couldn’t let Ye Ming barge in and cause trouble.
Otherwise, everything would be ruined.
After the two bodyguards repelled Ye Ming, they felt an imnse surge of courage. They thought Ye Ming wasn’t that tough after all, and they certainly had the strength to fight him. It seed they had overestimated Ye Ming before, intimidated by his flashy but ineffective moves.
Now that they had exchanged blows, they felt more confident.
"Master Leu, don’t ntion it. The three of us should be more than enough to deal with him. Why don’t we take this opportunity to work together and kill him right here?" one of the bodyguards suggested to Master Leu.
Upon hearing this, Master Leu imdiately nodded in agreent. He had already found Ye Ming disagreeable, and given this opportunity, he certainly would not refuse.
"He must be killed. This brat is too arrogant. I’ve been displeased with him for a long ti. Today, let’s teach him a lesson! Finish him off!"
What they didn’t know was that Ye Ming didn’t retreat because of their superior strength, but because he had beco distracted by sensing sothing during the fight.
At this mont, Ye Ming distinctly felt a response coming from the Jade Pendant on Xu Lele.
It was Xu Lele in danger!
...
As a flash of light shimred, Wan Yang was blasted back onto a chair, his face full of bewildernt.
He had no idea what had just happened. He was about to touch Xia Ningning when sothing had stopped him.
This strange occurrence made Wan Yang hesitate to make another move.
Xia Yu beca anxious and urged, "What are you waiting for? Don’t just stand there, do it now!"
"Big brother Yu, it’s not that I don’t want to make a move. Just now, I was clearly knocked back. Do they have sothing on them?" Wan Yang asked with a wronged look on his face.
Xia Yu looked at him with contempt and berated, "You’re rubbish, can’t even handle a woman, are you still a man?"
"If you’re not going to make a move, then let do it first!"
Humiliated by Xia Yu’s scolding, Wan Yang’s face was filled with grievance.
He slowly got up, anger stirring in his heart. Yes, it was just a woman, wasn’t it? How could he not handle her? He must have hallucinated earlier.
However, not only was he feeling confused, Xia Ningning didn’t understand what was happening either.
Only Xu Lele spoke seriously, "Ningning, don’t be afraid, I will protect you!"
"Lele, you..." Before Xia Ningning could finish, Wan Yang lunged at her again.
She instinctively stepped back, trying to dodge.
But at that mont, another golden light appeared and sent Wan Yang flying again.
Seeing this, Xia Ningning understood what was happening.
She looked down and saw the Jade Pendant that belonged to Xu Lele was on her neck.
The golden light had co from the Jade Pendant.
Xia Ningning had just breathed a sigh of relief but then rembered the instructions Ye Ming had given her before.
Xu Lele’s life hinged entirely on that Jade Pendant; she must not be separated from it, otherwise, sothing very dangerous would occur.
Sure enough, Xia Ningning clearly saw that Xu Lele’s skin turned pale, her lips gradually lost color, and the signs of life began to fade, weakening steadily.
Xia Ningning quickly took off the Jade Pendant, intending to put it around Xu Lele’s neck.
Wan Yang sensed sothing was amiss. Having been thrown off by the Jade Pendant, he acted quickly and snatched it from Xia Ningning’s grasp.
Outside the door, Ye Ming had also sensed sothing wrong.
After reacting to the Jade Pendant, he suddenly felt his body surge with strength and the continuous loss of his Life Essence ca to an abrupt halt.
He was shocked, instantly realizing what had happened, and prepared to charge in a second ti.
As soon as he moved, Wan Yang’s two bodyguards stepped forward to block him.
They were confident they could stop Ye Ming.
But the mont they collided, their bodies were instantly sent flying by Ye Ming.
"Get lost!"
With a bang, one of the bodyguards flew backward, crashing hard against the door of the private room.
After the loud noise, the door finally opened.
A disheveled Xia Ningning was holding Xu Lele, frantically calling her na.
By now, Xu Lele’s breathing was weak, her body limp in Xia Ningning’s arms.
Not far from them, Wan Yang eyed the two with predatory intensity, just about to make a move but was interrupted by the sudden commotion.
Ye Ming saw everything with his own eyes. He clenched his fists, a towering fury erupting from his body.
"Lele!"
He shouted loudly, swiftly moving to Xu Lele’s side and pulling her into his arms.
"Lele, how are you doing?"
Ye Ming reached for Xu Lele’s wrist to feel her pulse, a chill rising in his heart.
At that mont, Xu Lele had a faint pulse; her vital signs were vanishing, and to his shock, he discovered that the Jade Pendant that had been on her neck was gone.
"Where is her Jade Pendant? Why is the Jade Pendant missing?" Ye Ming urgently asked.
