Xu Fan was able to deal with Bingdilian so effortlessly, but this didn't mean that Bingdilian could be taken lightly.

He had just thrown his weapon, clearly aiming to take his life in exchange for another!

And the target he chose was Xia Yanyu!

Xu Fan couldn't afford to ask who had hired Bingdilian right now; he spurred his Inner Strength and chased after the horizontal saber Bingdilian had thrown!

"Damn it!"

Even though he had reacted in time, it was still extremely difficult to catch up with the flying blade!

Just as Xia Yanyu was about to meet her end on the edge of the horizontal saber, Xu Fan thrust out a palm, Inner Strength surging forth! He directed it straight at the blade Bingdilian had thrown!

Fortunately, with the help of the Jiuyang Warm Jade earlier on, his Inner Strength had greatly improved. Now, under the influence of his Inner Strength, the blade veered off to the side, and with a swish, it embedded itself into the wall.

"Phew..."

Looking at the horizontal saber now stuck in the wall, only the hilt visible on the outside, Xu Fan let out a sigh of relief. It was a close call; if he hadn't reacted, Xia Yanyu's life would have been lost.

"Thank... thank you..."

Having just faced such a situation, Xia Yanyu's complexion had turned deathly pale. Now, with her spirit still unsettled, she wiped off the sweat and thanked Xu Fan.

This was no time to chat. Xu Fan nodded and immediately looked back at Bingdilian, to prevent him from pulling any more tricks.

"Damn!"

But upon turning to look, Xu Fan couldn't help but curse aloud!

The unpredictable mind of a psychopath always baffles one, in just that brief moment, Bingdilian had taken his own life!

The man must have been prepared to die from the very start. If he could complete his mission before dying, that would have been perfect. But if not, he wasn't going to keep clinging to life and suffer...

"Indeed, a bit stronger than these two..."

The two brothers had ended their lives in a tacit understanding. Xu Fan gave a wry smile as he looked towards Yi Qiu and Zhao Yunfeng, then sighed deeply.

These two were the only leads, but now that they were dead, there was nothing left to ask...

"Phew, alright, it's finally over..."

Qin Mengyue wasn't thinking too much. At that moment, all that filled her heart was joy.

Bingdilian had killed her colleague, and her only desire had been to avenge him by personally executing those responsible. Now that they were dead, she felt content.

Now blushing with a hint of anticipation, she looked towards Xu Fan, who wore a mask.

She didn't know that the man behind the mask was Xu Fan.

Her heart, pounding nervously inside her chest like a frightened deer, she was very eager to see what the face behind the mask looked like.

"Thank you for coming to save me, I..."

Despite her age and beauty, due to her profession and fiery temper, Qin Mengyue was even less experienced in love than a middle school girl. Now, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, she looked at Xu Fan with nervousness.

Her anxiety grew; what if he asked her out on a date? Should she accept or play it coy?

"Hey! You!"

Mulling over the logic of 'women chasing men, separated by a veil,' Qin Mengyue quickly decided she needed to take initiative with such a hero. But just as she ended her daze and looked up, the man was no longer in the hall!

"Annoying! You! You're driving me crazy!"

Having mustered up a ladylike facade, seeing him dash away so quickly made it all crumble. At that moment, Qin Mengyue pouted, wishing she could throw a few punches to vent her frustration.

But soon after, she started nervously touching her own cheeks again.

Everyone says that online romances are the most likely to crumble in the light of day, and just now when he saw me, he ran off. Could it be that he didn't like the way I look...

It doesn't make sense though; I'm not ugly, and, and my figure is quite good too...

Qin Mengyue silently looked down at her chest, her face flush with random thoughts.

"Alright, those two guys are stone dead! Brothers, go over and check them, see if we can find any clues on their bodies!"

After surviving the ordeal, Yi Qiu acted as if nothing had happened, directing several surviving bodyguards to check the bodies, then walked over to Xia Yanyu with a forced smile.

"Miss, was that hero someone you invited? Why didn't you tell me, hehe..."

"Heh..."

In response to Yi Qiu's shameless facade at the moment, Xia Yanyu gave him a cold and icy smile.

"Uh..."

Yi Qiu awkwardly grinned, fully aware of how cowardly he'd been, and that Xia Yanyu was probably utterly disappointed in him by now.

But he wasn't exactly without options; after all, he had developed more than just a thick skin over the years.

"By the way, Miss, what should we do with Xu Fan? This guy fled the battle; I think he seems quite suspicious..."

"That's right, for these two to have infiltrated so smoothly, they must have had inside help. Xu Fan, I suspect, is Bingdilian's plant within the Xia Family."

What was desperately needed at the moment was a scapegoat, and Zhao Yunfeng also knew full well how disliked he and Yi Qiu were at the moment, so, in perfect sync, he threw Xu Fan under the bus.

Although the two of them had played dead in a cowardly fashion, Xu Fan was the one who had run off before the fight even started!

But what the two of them didn't know was that this seemingly clever blame-shifting directly hit a sore spot for Xia Yanyu.

Had it not been for Xu Fan lending a hand, this time the entire Xia family villa might have been decimated!

Had Xu Fan not intervened just now, she might already be dead at the hands of Bingdilian!

And these two had the gall to pass the blame to Xu Fan?

Xia Yanyu looked at them coldly, her eyes brimming with disdain!

"Yi Qiu, you've worked for the Xia family for many years, and I don't want an ugly breakup, so you should find another job for yourself."

"Additionally, Officer Zhao, thank you for your help this time. Now that it's over, you should leave."

"This... Miss..."

"President Xia, you..."

Xia Yanyu was just short of telling the two to buzz off directly, their faces flushing with embarrassment.

In their hearts, they wondered, does Xia Yanyu really bear no resentment toward Xu Fan?

Why on earth...

He was nothing more than a deserter!

Earlier, Qin Mengyue had contacted the police in Jinling, and now that the skirmish was over, they could hear the wail of police sirens, and a flood of uniformed officers poured in.

Xia Yanyu saved herself the trouble of arguing with the two and went straight to the police to explain the earlier situation.

Yi Qiu and Zhao Yunfeng, on the other hand, were completely ashamed to approach.

The real game-changer had already left, and they had no face to walk over.

What if the police misunderstood and thought they had dealt with Bingdilian? That would be an even bigger mess to clear up...
