Chapter 277 Yun Shumo Saved

Chapter 277 Yun Shumo Saved

Outside, the sky was clear and blue.

Inside the helicopter, the atmosphere was tense and gloomy.

Yun Mu, now dressed in military attire with tight black clothes, looked stunningly beautiful, exuding an aura that warned others to keep their distance.

Ji Ming glanced at her and cautiously moved away, trying to put some space between them.

"Smack—"

Yun Mu's long legs blocked his retreat.

"Tell me honestly, what have you and Yun Shumo been up to lately?"

Realizing he couldn't evade the question, Ji Ming answered honestly, "I had a deal with Yun Family's second son... I helped cover the existence of the Yun Family from the Imperial Capital in the Southern Mystic Continent, and in return, he helped me investigate secrets about the Yun Family here..."

"What kind of secrets?"

"The Yun Family from the Southern Mystic Continent and the Yun Family from the Imperial Capital seem to be related," Ji Ming said.

Yun Mu drew a sharp breath, anger flashing in her eyes.

"How could you keep such a big thing from me!"

Ji Ming retorted angrily, "What good would it do to tell you? You've been so focused on Huo Tingying lately, dreaming of a normal life. If I told you, would you pretend not to know and not investigate?"

Yun Mu was momentarily speechless.

If she knew this secret, she would undoubtedly pursue it. But getting involved with the Yun Family from the Southern Mystic Continent would mean giving up any chance of a peaceful life.

She composed herself and lowered her voice.

"Then how did Yun Shumo get chased and kidnapped? Who did it?"

Ji Ming's confidence wavered, "The people from the Southern Mystic Continent were always watching me, so Yun Shumo had to secretly gather clues. Worried about his safety, I gave him some of your old contacts to use. But who knew..."

"Who knew that as soon as my people moved, they were spotted by my old enemies! And they mistook Yun Shumo for me and chased him, then kidnapped him when they realized it wasn't me, hoping to lure me out?"

Ji Ming swallowed nervously, looking embarrassed, avoiding Yun Mu's gaze, "A-Mu, you're so smart, you guessed it all!"

"Shut up! Why did you use my people? Don't you know how many people are watching the forces I left behind? Now they've tracked us here! Do you want everyone in the Southern Mystic Continent to know I'm still alive and come after me again?"

Ji Ming regretted his actions deeply and begged for forgiveness, "I really didn't think those scoundrels would still be watching after all this time! A-Mu, I'm sorry, I truly am! Everything is arranged; you don't need to show up. My people can rescue Yun Shumo."

Yun Mu rubbed her temples, "Who is the enemy?"

"Silver Tower, one of your old foes. Don't worry, dealing with such scum is my specialty," Ji Ming said confidently.

Yun Mu gave him a cold look and got straight to the point.

"Do you know where Yun Shumo is being held?"

"Yes, I implanted a tracking chip in him when he was drunk once."

Yun Mu, "...Do you realize Yun Shumo will kill you when he finds out?"

"Then... should I just not save him?"

Yun Mu rolled her eyes, "Stop talking nonsense! Give me the coordinates, the layout, security distribution, and alarm system details..."

Ji Ming quickly provided the information.

Yun Mu calmly formulated a plan for the upcoming operation.

"I won't go down there myself. Keep in touch, and I'll control the alarm system remotely. When you go in, bring Yun Shumo back and clear the area."

With that, Yun Mu flicked her black curls, her eyes darkening, and said coldly, "I don't want my peace in China disturbed. Not a single one of them should be left alive!"

Ji Ming grinned, excitement gleaming in his blue eyes.

"Don't worry, A-Mu, clearing the area is my specialty!"

Yun Mu glanced at him, "It's not something to brag about. Keep your mouth shut."

Ji Ming, "I'm just happy. It feels like old times working together again."

Yun Mu felt a slight pang in her heart.

But she wasn't happy.

She didn't want to go back to the past or see any more bloodshed.

...

Silver Tower was no match for Ji Ming, and he quickly broke through the layers of security.

However, Yun Mu didn't expect Ji Ming's method of clearing the area—

to be so straightforward and brutal.

"Boom—"

The explosion was deafening!

Yun Mu, sitting in the car, jolted and took out her binoculars.

Thick smoke and flames rose amidst the chaos.

The factory that had been standing in front of them was instantly flattened!

This madman—

Immediately after, Ji Ming pulled the soot-covered Yun Shumo over and leaped into the car.

"Go, drive!"

Almost simultaneously, Yun Mu slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the black sedan shot forward like an arrow breaking through the sky.

Ji Ming glanced at the smoke behind them and laughed wildly.

"Your little master's style hasn't diminished a bit!"

Yun Shumo wiped the soot from his face and gritted his teeth, "Can't you be on time for once? I almost got blown up by you!"

Ji Ming looked smug, "You know nothing! The delay was all precisely calculated by your little master. Apart from getting a face full of soot, where did you get hurt?"

"Have you forgotten why I got caught? Even if I die in there, I won't let you off as a ghost!"

"Can this be blamed on me? You were the one who wanted to investigate, and I provided the manpower. What's wrong with that?"

Ji Ming is very reasonable; Yun Mu can curse him, but not others!

Yun Shumo couldn't take it anymore, "Am I supposed to thank you? If not for the people you gave me, I wouldn't have been caught here and injured. This partnership, I'm done with it!"

"You say you're done, you think—"

"Enough!" Yun Mi couldn't help but reprimand the two, glancing at Yun Shumo in the rearview mirror.

His usual elegance was long gone; covered in soot and with multiple bloody marks, it was clear he had been tortured.

"We need to find a place in A City first and treat the wounds—"

As she spoke, the car jolted, seemingly out of control, and charged straight ahead.

The three people in the car froze for a moment!

Ji Ming sat up straight, "Stop the car! What's happening? Stop the car!"

"Can't you see the brakes aren't working?" Yun Mu was furious, struggling to regain control of the car.

Yun Shumo pounded his chest, "I'll be ruined by you two sooner or later! Ruined!"

The black sedan, like a raging beast, wouldn't stop.

Yun Mu tried his best to control the car, and as it approached the cliff ahead, he suddenly swerved the steering wheel.

A sharp screeching sound followed as the car crashed into the road barrier!

The airbags deployed!

In the last instant, Ji Ming instinctively lunged forward, using his arms to shield Yun Mu, pressing her head tightly into his arm—

A loud explosion echoed!
