Chapter 530 Pang Pu Ce's Madness

Chapter 534 The True Traitor Appears

Ye Shengge quickly changed into a pair of comfortable long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and sports shoes from her spatial storage. If no one came to rescue them, her best option was to go out.

She couldn't let her mother or master get hurt. With the space, she always had a final resort.

Ye Mama saw her daughter's attire and knew what she was planning.

"You can't go out. These people are insane."

"Mom, this is the last resort. I'll stall for time, hoping Zi Yisheng can arrive to save us."

The veins on Pang Puce's forehead bulged. What should he do now?

"Open the door, or we'll break it down."

Only one person had spoken from the outside, and it was quiet otherwise. Ye Shengge thought for a moment before speaking.

"Who are you?"

"Hahahaha, you should remember me well. Baili Xi, formerly Hong Jun from the Bai Rong brigade. Do you remember me?"

Of course, she remembered. A person who had been dead for ten years had reappeared.

"Didn't you die?"

"Die! That was Zi Yisheng's foolishness. Did he think it was me who died back then? Even if the mask was removed, it wasn't me."

"Then why are you only appearing now? You should know you can't escape."

The door was kicked hard a few more times. This time, Ye Shengge was certain there was only one person outside.

"Pang Puce, can I trust you?"

Ye Shengge asked him softly.

"Yes, I want to make amends."

"Then when the door opens, your first priority is to subdue the person outside. I'll help you."

"Alright."

Ye Mama also took the stun baton her daughter handed her, ready to strike at any moment.

"Open the door quickly, or I'll blow it up."

"Don't blow it up, I'll come out. Can you guarantee the safety of everyone inside? Oh, right, your sister is still in my hands. Does that count as a bargaining chip?"

"Hmph, Baili Hui is not my full sister. You can kill her as you please."

"Heh, your Baili family is truly cold-blooded. It seems there's no need to negotiate then."

Ye Shengge held up three fingers. Pang Puce's hand was already on the doorknob. The others retreated.

"Isn't Ye Shengge planning to come out yet?"

One, two, three. As soon as she finished speaking, the door swung open. Seeing the figure, Pang Puce lunged forward. Ye Shengge and Ye Mama also thrust their stun batons forward.

Before they could celebrate as the person fell to the ground, they heard clapping from not too far away.

Ye Shengge's body stiffened as she turned her head. About ten paces away stood more than ten people. And the ground was covered with fallen figures.

"You are the Baili Xi."

"Guess."

Ye Shengge took two steps forward, positioning herself in front of everyone.

"Everyone get back inside! Mom, you have to trust me."

Ye Mama understood her daughter's meaning. She had a life-saving trump card.

"Get inside, everyone get inside."

Ye Mama stubbornly pulled her reluctant masters into the room, while Pang Puce stood firmly beside Ye Shengge.

"I'll stay with you."

The moment the door closed, Ye Shengge noticed Asen and the others lying on the ground.

"You killed them?"

"Guess again."

"Guess my ass!"

Simultaneously, Ye Shengge used her spatial storage to release a large amount of powder, creating a white mist that obscured their vision.

"Hold your breath, hold your breath."

Ye Shengge quickly took an antidote pill and offered one to Pang Puce.

"Let's fight."

Ye Shengge's combat skills were lacking. She could only take out a machete from her space and slash at anyone she could, killing one was one.

Pang Puce was different. Despite his broken leg, he could still wield his dagger with ease.

Screams, thuds, by the time the powder settled, Ye Shengge had already killed at least three people.

The powder's effect was also quick. Most of the people standing had fallen.

Ye Mama and the masters, their faces covered with cloth, came out. Ye Shengge threw a few daggers from her waist. Kill them, or they would be killed.

Ouyang, upon receiving news from the hotel, immediately sent a team. When Zi Yisheng received the news and arrived, Ye Shengge was nowhere to be found.

Ye Mama and the masters were still lying in the corridor. Even Pang Puce was gone.

"Where are they?"

"When we arrived, no one was here. The brothers on the lower floors and the thirteenth floor were all knocked out by the drug, only Asen was seriously injured."

"Wake them up first and find out what happened. How are my mother and masters?"

"They were all knocked out from behind."

It was good they were alright. Zi Yisheng left quickly. He had ambushed them with so many teams; they couldn't have gotten far.

"Search the entire hotel."

The next time Ye Shengge opened her eyes, she was in a dimly lit room. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her feet were bound to the bed legs.

"You're awake!"

Ye Shengge then realized someone was in the room. The silhouette was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall anything.

"Who are you?"

"You can't even recognize my voice."

Ye Shengge tried hard to recall what had happened. She had clearly gained control of Baili Xi's men. She had fainted because someone attacked her from behind.

But there shouldn't have been anyone behind her at that time. She had even been wary of Pang Puce, keeping him in front of her.

So, this person must have been hiding in another room. Who could it be?

"It seems you really can't remember. That's strange."

The speaker slowly walked towards Ye Shengge. As he got closer, Ye Shengge's eyes widened.

"How could it be you!"

"Now you know why Baili Xi didn't die? Is there anyone in the world who looks so alike? When his mask was removed, they were identical. Only I, who handled it, could have saved him."

"Gong Wentao, I truly didn't expect the deepest hidden person beside Zi Yisheng to be you."

Ye Shengge still couldn't believe it. He had protected them like an elder. Why would he betray them? There was no reason.

"Surprised, aren't you? Even I find it hard to believe."

"Why?"

Gong Wentao untied Ye Shengge's ropes and helped her sit up.

"Shengge, I am very sorry. But I have a reason I must do this."

Ye Shengge leaned against the bed, trying not to feel too tired, and mentally planned her escape.

"Can I know the reason? Have you considered Grandpa Gong and Grandma Wang? And Sun Fangni, and the child she finally gave birth to? You are destroying them."

Gong Wentao turned on the light and sat back in his original position, lighting a cigarette. The scarred face made Ye Shengge feel terrified.

"Consider it my debt to them, but I need to save my other child."

"Another child? Wasn't he already dead?"

Gong Wentao's face contorted into a strange smile, a mixture of remembrance and yearning.

"He's still alive. That's also why Baili Xi is alive. If you were in my shoes, you would do the same."

Ye Shengge didn't want to imagine herself in his situation to empathize.

"Is it some secret elixir again? One that can revive the dead, grant immortality? I didn't expect you to be so foolish.

If Baili Xi had such abilities, the head of the Baili family wouldn't have died, the Baili family wouldn't have fallen, and Zi Yisheng wouldn't be in his current position."
