The next night, Chen Qingyun, under the escort of bodyguards, entered the Rose Club, the very place where Lin Tianxin had been kidnapped.
At this moment, Zhao Fanghua, who had been lurking in the shadows, also infiltrated the club. Her sole purpose was to complete the last mission she had promised.
It wasn't that she was foolish; rather, the Guigu Sect had always adhered to the principle of keeping one's word. Since she had made a promise, she had to fulfill it now, no matter what.
Just then, she arrived outside Chen Qingyun's private room. Peeking through the crack in the door, she saw Chen Qingyun playing mahjong with several business partners.
With that, Zhao Fanghua drew her cold-gleaming dagger and charged in.
Just as she thought she was about to succeed, to her surprise, Chen Qingyun remained unfazed, and Zhao Fanghua had a bad premonition.
Indeed, in the next moment, a figure appeared and blocked her fatal strike.
"Little darling, do you remember me?"
Wang Tianba sneered playfully.
"It's you!"
Just as she had suspected, Wang Tianba had indeed come to Jiangnan.
Without hesitation, Zhao Fanghua attacked Wang Tianba.
"My little darling, you actually dare to attack me? My heart aches!"
Wang Tianba smiled playfully and struck Zhao Fanghua with his palm. Under the force of this palm strike, Zhao Fanghua was forced back several steps.
"How can you be so strong?"
Zhao Fanghua was instantly horrified. She knew that even she could easily defeat Wang Tianba back then. How had he grown to such a terrifying level in such a short time?
Wang Tianba said playfully, "No need to be surprised. This young master is exceptionally talented. In just two years, I've leaped to become the third strongest expert in the Heavenly Gate!"
"My little darling, why don't you surrender quickly!"
"Never!"
Zhao Fanghua immediately attacked, wielding her cold-gleaming dagger. However, it was clear that the gap between her and Wang Tianba was too vast.
As a result, she was defeated in less than twenty moves.
Subsequently, she was apprehended by a group of people.
Under Zhao Fanghua's unwilling gaze, Tang Wan timidly walked in from outside the private room.
"You betrayed me?"
Zhao Fanghua looked at Tang Wan angrily. She knew she had fallen into a trap and hated being deceived.
However, Tang Wan completely ignored her, as if she had expected this outcome long ago.
"Husband, the person has been captured. Can you spare me?" Tang Wan asked Chen Qingyun with great fear.
Chen Qingyun said, "Seeing as you've performed so well, I won't hold past transgressions against you. Just be my wife from now on!"
Tang Wan was overjoyed. Without Wang Xiaotian as her backing and Chen Xuan as her reliance, her position in the Chen family was precarious.
Now that she had made a contribution, she wouldn't have to be bullied in the Chen family.
Who would have thought that the moment she stepped out the door...
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced Tang Wan's forehead. She collapsed in disbelief.
"Xiao Wan!"
Chen Qingyun, filled with grief, rushed over and held Tang Wan. Unfortunately, Tang Wan had already breathed her last.
Although Tang Wan had done many things against him, he still loved her and had never intended to kill her.
Now that the two people he hated the most were dead, he had been waiting for Tang Wan to change her mind and rekindle their relationship. Little did he know, she would die like this.
"Serves her right!"
Zhao Fanghua thought venomously. If Tang Wan hadn't deceived her, she wouldn't have fallen into Wang Tianba's trap.
"Little darling, see how good I am to you? She dared to deceive you, so I killed her!"
Wang Tianba put away his pistol and said to Chen Qingyun, "Family shame should not be spread. Old dog Chen, I helped you kill this slut; you won't blame me, will you!"
Chen Qingyun was enraged but could only bite his tongue and say gratefully, "How would I dare to blame you, Young Master Wang? I'm already grateful enough!"
"That's good!"
Wang Tianba ignored Chen Qingyun, who was on the verge of losing his sanity, and said to Zhao Fanghua, "Little darling, you've been hiding for so many years, and in the end, you still fall into my hands!"
"Hmph!"
Zhao Fanghua snorted coldly and then taunted Wang Tianba, "If you have the guts, kill me!"
"How could I bear to kill you! I still need to use you to lure out that brat. After dealing with that brat, this young master will take good care of you!"
Wang Tianba revealed a sinister smile.
"Never!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Tianba said, "That's not up to you. Take her away!"
"Yes!"
After Zhao Fanghua was taken away, Chen Qingyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked him, "Young Master Wang, with your strength, couldn't you have just gone up and killed him directly?"
In his opinion, everything Wang Tianba had done was completely unnecessary.
Wang Tianba chuckled and said, "Killing that brat directly would be too boring. I want to make him wish he were dead! Such games are more fun and more in line with my style!"
"A madman, truly a madman!"
Chen Qingyun trembled in his heart.
Not long after.
Yun Fan and the members of the Black Dragon Society also received the news that Zhao Fanghua had fallen into Wang Tianba's hands.
"Boss, why don't I just gather our brothers and storm the Rose Club?" Lei Bao said angrily.
It was known that besides cultivating the boss's techniques, Zhao Fanghua would also occasionally guide them, making her a half-master to them.
Now that Zhao Fanghua was in trouble, the most impatient ones were he and Hei Long.
"We cannot charge in!"
Ye Feng quickly warned, "This Wang Tianba acts without any rhyme or reason. Before, he captured dozens of our Nightfall members, and when my boss and Xuanwu tried to rescue them forcefully, those dozens of members were all tortured to death by him!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan, who had been silent, spoke, "He kidnapped Fifth Senior Sister, most likely aiming for me! Therefore, no matter what trick he has, I must see it through!"
"Then what should we..."
As Hei Long was about to speak, Yun Fan interrupted him, "You guys take the men and lie in ambush outside the Rose Club. I'll go alone to meet him!"
"But..."
As the few of them were about to say something, they thought of Yun Fan's strength and fell silent, obediently following Yun Fan's arrangements.
In less than an hour, Yun Fan arrived at the Rose Club.
At this moment, Yun Fan saw Chen Qingyun, and the Wang Tianba he had long wanted to deal with.
"Brat, do you remember this young master?"
Looking at Wang Tianba's crazed face, Yun Fan instantly remembered that the guy who tried to run him over that night and then gave him the middle finger was Wang Tianba.
"Of course, I remember. I'd remember you even if you turned to ashes!"
Yun Fan said coldly.
"Oh! Is that so? Then I'm truly honored!"
Wang Tianba sneered, "I heard you have very good luck, so today, this young master will gamble with you!"
"How do we gamble?"
In response to Yun Fan's question, Wang Tianba immediately said, "It's simple. You managed to kill Wang Xiaotian, proving you have some skill!"
"So, as long as you can defeat this useless subordinate of mine, I'll return her to you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a gloomy man emerged from the darkness. He was the fourth-ranked expert of the Heavenly Gate, Shadow.
A viper lurking in the dark, ready to bite you to death if you're not careful.
Zhao Fanghua was also brought up. Her clothes were intact, and there were no wounds on her body, indicating she hadn't been tortured.
"Junior Brother, don't mind me, hurry and leave!"
Zhao Fanghua said worriedly.
Wang Tianba's jealousy flared up. His beloved woman was showing so much concern for another man in front of him.
This made him feel very uncomfortable. Thus, he said menacingly again, "If you lose, then cripple your third leg!"
That's right, he wanted to make Yun Fan unable to be a man and wish he were dead. In any case, he wouldn't let Yun Fan die so easily.
"No problem, I fully agree!"
"Don't agree!"
Zhao Fanghua looked worried. She knew that Wang Tianba had always been ruthless in his actions and would not be so simple; there must be other means.
"It's okay, Fifth Senior Sister, wait a moment, and I'll take you away!"
Yun Fan walked towards Shadow.
At this moment, Shadow attacked rapidly. Such a confined space was more conducive to his performance.
Yun Fan easily dodged his killing blow and retaliated. In the blink of an eye, they both disappeared into the darkness.
Wang Tianba folded his arms and watched, feeling some confidence in Shadow's abilities.
However, in the next moment, a scream was heard, and Shadow flew out of the darkness, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"What?"
Everyone couldn't believe that Yun Fan had ended the fight so quickly.
At this moment, Yun Fan emerged from the darkness and said to Wang Tianba, "I won!"
Wang Tianba's eyes held deep unwillingness, as Shadow was now crippled. Even if he survived, he would be like a cripple.
Chen Qingyun, with a somewhat vacant gaze, didn't expect the Chen family to provoke such a terrifying existence.
"Very good, brat, I'll kill you sooner or later!" Wang Tianba revealed a row of sharp white teeth, ferocious like a starving wolf.
Yun Fan calmly said, "There's no need to wait for another day. Let's settle this between us today!"
He had no intention of giving Wang Tianba a chance to breathe.
But Wang Tianba said confidently, "Then you are destined to have no chance today. If you continue to fight me, her life might not be saved!"
As soon as he said this, Yun Fan quickly looked at Zhao Fanghua and saw that her face was pale, and she could barely stand.
This was a symptom of poisoning. If not treated promptly, unexpected changes could occur.
For this reason, he held Zhao Fanghua and said to Wang Tianba, "I'll let you live a few more days!"
"Oh! This young master is eagerly awaiting your revenge!"
Wang Tianba laughed maniacally.
After Yun Fan left, the previously laughing Wang Tianba's expression instantly turned grim. He smashed a wine bottle onto Chen Qingyun's head!
"Ah!"
Chen Qingyun screamed. Although with his strength, he shouldn't be unable to withstand a mere wine bottle, if he didn't cooperate, Wang Tianba might take his anger out on him.
"This brat, how dare he threaten this young master!"
Wang Tianba gritted his teeth. He had wanted to stop Yun Fan just now, but undoubtedly, he lacked the courage. Yun Fan's victory over Shadow in one move had intimidated him. Although Wang Tianba's strength far surpassed Shadow's, he couldn't achieve such ease.
"Young Master Wang, don't worry. I coated that thing on the blade, and he grabbed the blade with his bare hands. He won't live much longer!"
Shadow quickly comforted Wang Tianba.
Having said that, Wang Tianba's angry expression immediately improved.
"Good, good, you know how to handle things. This young master has decided to reward you!"
Instantly, Shadow's face showed anticipation. Although Wang Tianba acted like a madman, his rewards were often substantial, and one reward could allow him to live without struggle for the rest of his life.
"Your reward is a bullet!"
"Bang!"
Under Shadow's expectant gaze, Wang Tianba shot him in the head. Since Yun Fan had already crippled him, he didn't even have time to react.
"Useless trash, what use do I have for you?"
To his death, Shadow never imagined that his reward would be a bullet. However, this reward was not far from what he had imagined; he truly wouldn't have to struggle for the rest of his life.
Chen Qingyun trembled, wondering if Wang Tianba would shoot him one day.
