Lin Fei looked at Duan Yifeng and asked, "What's going on? Why is Su Xiaoyue unconscious?"

Duan Yifeng, with a fearful expression, said, "The people I sent to capture Su Xiaoyue used a handkerchief soaked with a drug, covered her mouth from behind, and made her pass out."

Seeing Lin Fei's face grow colder, Duan Yifeng quickly added in explanation, "The drug only causes unconsciousness and won't endanger Su Xiaoyue's life. She should wake up in four or five hours."

Lin Fei said, "You want Su Xiaoyue to sleep here for a few hours, then use her to threaten me, beat me in the final battle, and safely send her back without anyone knowing, achieving your revenge on me, right?"

At this time, Duan Yifeng had nothing to hide and nodded, "That's right, it was my original plan."

But unfortunately, his plan was completely foiled by Lin Fei.

Whoosh.

Lin Fei moved as fast as lightning, pressing on a point on Duan Yifeng's neck.

Duan Yifeng was instantly immobilized.

Lin Fei then walked to the bedside, took out silver needles, circulated his True Qi, and gently pierced several acupoints on Su Xiaoyue's body.

In no time, Su Xiaoyue let out a soft moan.

Su Xiaoyue slowly opened her eyes.

Lin Fei retracted the silver needle and asked Su Xiaoyue with a smile, "You're awake?"

As Su Xiaoyue opened her eyes and her vision gradually cleared, she saw Lin Fei's face, still somewhat in disbelief.

"Lin Fei..."

Lin Fei nodded to her and said, "Are you okay?"

Su Xiaoyue shook her head.

Lin Fei helped her sit up and saw that they were in a basement, with Duan Yifeng standing there motionless.

Su Xiaoyue frowned and asked Lin Fei in confusion, "Lin Fei, where are we? Why is he here?"

Lin Fei said, "This is a basement in the Duan family villa. You were brought here by someone he sent."

Then, Lin Fei recounted the incident to Su Xiaoyue about how Duan Yifeng's men drugged a handkerchief and made her faint.

Fury appeared on Su Xiaoyue's face as she said, "I remember, I was jogging in a park this morning when someone suddenly came up from behind, covered my mouth with a handkerchief, and I smelled a pungent drug before passing out.

So it was his doing, truly despicable."

Lin Fei nodded, "That's right, truly despicable. He captured you to threaten me during our showdown."

Su Xiaoyue couldn't help but worry, looking at Lin Fei and asked, "Lin Fei, did you lose the showdown with him?"

Thinking it was her fault that Lin Fei was implicated, Su Xiaoyue's face was full of guilt.

"No, I won." However, Lin Fei showed her a smile.

Su Xiaoyue was momentarily stunned, then reacted with joy on her face, "You won?!"

Lin Fei nodded to her, "Yes, I won."

Su Xiaoyue immediately got out of bed, unable to contain her joy, and hugged Lin Fei, happily saying, "Lin Fei, congratulations on defeating that villain Duan Yifeng!"

Watching Su Xiaoyue hug and praise Lin Fei, while insulting himself as a villain, Duan Yifeng felt as if he had swallowed a fly, utterly uncomfortable.

What drove Duan Yifeng even crazier was seeing Su Xiaoyue and Lin Fei hugging each other right in front of him, which was an emotional blow.

"Let's go out!" Lin Fei said to Su Xiaoyue.

"Mm, mm." Su Xiaoyue nodded.

Lin Fei then released the point on Duan Yifeng and escorted him out.

Lin Fei, Su Xiaoyue, and Duan Yifeng left the villa.

Outside the villa, it was very quiet, but on the open ground, and on the lawn, a dozen bodyguards in suits and sunglasses could be seen standing solemnly.

The bodyguards held electric batons, steel pipes, and bladed weapons, glinting with light, exuding a vague killing intent.

Standing in front of these stern-faced bodyguards was a man about fifty years old.

Clad in a silk black Tang suit, his temples grayed, with eyes deep as a chasm, an expression cold as ice, a hand adorned with a jade ring holding a cigar.

He placed the cigar in his mouth, took a puff, and exhaled a thick cloud of white smoke, his face appearing mysterious and shady amidst the smoke.

"This is the first time someone dares to break into the Duan family, injure bodyguards, and hold my son hostage." Through the smoke, this man's eyes sharply fixed on Lin Fei, and he spoke each word clearly.

Lin Fei looked at the elderly man in a black silk Tang suit, recognizing him as Duan Tianlong, the head of the Duan family and Duan Yifeng's father.

The enemy responsible for the death of his parents years ago.

An intense hatred flashed deep in Lin Fei's eyes, but he did not show it on his face.

Now was not the time for vengeance against Duan Tianlong; his primary purpose in coming to the Duan family this time was to rescue Su Xiaoyue.

Lin Fei looked calmly at Duan Tianlong and said, "Your son kidnapped my friend. I had to do this; otherwise, I couldn't save my friend."

Duan Tianlong's gaze then shifted to Su Xiaoyue beside Lin Fei, then back to Lin Fei, saying coldly, "So that's how it is! The girl can leave, but you must stay!"

"The Duan family will not tolerate such insolence. You kidnapped my son, injured my bodyguards; if you walk away freely, where will the Duan family face be?"

Lin Fei laughed, "Duan Tianlong, your face is not my face. Why should it matter to me? If you don't order your men to clear the way, your son will suffer!"

After saying this, Lin Fei tightened his grip on Duan Tianlong's son's neck, causing Duan Yifeng to scream in pain, "Ah!~~~"

Duan Tianlong's brows furrowed suddenly, his eyes flickered with a hidden flame of anger; it was the first time someone dared to call him by his name and threaten him in this manner.

And it was by a young brat at that!

However, with his son Duan Yifeng in Lin Fei's hands, no matter how much he wanted to destroy Lin Fei, he was forced to consider the consequences.

"Boy, do you think holding my son hostage means you're free to leave here? Take a look around," Duan Tianlong warned Lin Fei coldly.

Lin Fei glanced around and noticed two villas on either side, each rooftop occupied by a masked man in white, holding a crossbow with a loaded arrow targeting him.

There were also two masked, crossbow-wielding, ghost-like figures in white garment standing atop high branches of two towering evergreens in the courtyard.

Four masked white-clad figures from high vantage points aimed their crossbows at Lin Fei, creating a lethal atmosphere.

Moreover, Lin Fei could tell by their aura that these four masked figures likely possessed martial prowess not inferior to the Martial Emperor Realm.

While Lin Fei might not fear them, their high vantage points afforded them a significant advantage; if they shot their crossbows, Lin Fei could dodge, but Su Xiaoyue by his side might not be able to.

Lin Fei did not want to endanger Su Xiaoyue's life.

Just as Lin Fei pondered how to ensure their safe retreat without putting Su Xiaoyue at risk, the sound of police sirens blared from outside the Duan family villa: "Woo woo woo..."
