"Brother Xuan, don't agree to him, just run away! Don't worry about me," Chen Yina said with a cry to Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Haoxuan did not listen to Chen Yina. He smiled slyly at the Masked Men and said, "It seems this is the only way. I surrender, but please remember your promise."
"Rest assured, you are our God of Wealth, and we will fulfill all your requests, except for freedom," the Masked Man holding Chen Yina said to Chen Haoxuan before turning to his partner. "You go load the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda onto the truck; I'll keep an eye on them."
The Masked Man holding Chen Yina stared intently at Chen Haoxuan, keeping his knife pressed against her neck, worried that Chen Haoxuan might resist. The Masked Man holding Chen Haoxuan was also careless; although Chen Haoxuan had raised his hands in surrender, he still had a knife in his hand. If his boss were still around, he would definitely force Chen Haoxuan to drop the knife.
Suddenly, Chen Haoxuan called out, "Yang Lin, why are you here? Hurry and escape!"
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words and seeing him look behind, the Masked Man holding Chen Yina thought someone was trying to ambush him and quickly turned to look back. In that instant, Chen Haoxuan immediately turned around and threw the knife. The knife whistled through the air and with a clang, the lights in the living room suddenly went out, plunging everything into darkness.
This was part of Chen Haoxuan's plan; he tricked the Masked Man holding Chen Yina into looking back and then quickly pinned the knife to the Light Tube switch, destroying it. Chen Haoxuan wanted to make sure that the Masked Man didn't understand why the lights suddenly went out. As long as he was confused, he wouldn't harm Chen Yina because he still needed her to threaten Chen Haoxuan.
This was exactly the effect Chen Haoxuan wanted. If he had simply killed the Masked Man holding Chen Yina with his knife, there was a high chance that the Masked Man would use his last ounce of consciousness and strength to slit Chen Yina's throat.
With the lights out in the living room, Chen Haoxuan dashed towards Chen Yina like a black panther at top speed. He had already calculated everything in his mind and had imprinted the layout of the living room in his memory, so even without light, it wouldn't hinder him from saving Chen Yina.
"What happened? The lights went out," the Masked Man holding Chen Yina exclaimed in panic. The sudden darkness was definitely not good news for them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Masked Man felt something grab his knife. The only person who could have grabbed it barehanded was Chen Haoxuan. Once he seized the knife, he flipped it around so that its sharp edge faced the Masked Man, reducing the danger to Chen Yina. After flipping it over, Chen Haoxuan quickly grabbed the Masked Man's wrist with his left hand and yanked hard while pulling him to the right so that he wouldn't hurt Chen Yina.
"Heizi, come help!" shouted the Masked Man holding Chen Yina. If there had been light, he wouldn't have been so worried; but now in complete darkness where nothing could be seen, he felt like a blind man. No matter how skilled he was, he couldn't use any of it now and had to call for help from his companion.
His companion, like him, could see nothing. However, there were no enemies around him. He quickly pulled out a lighter and lit it. But the light from the lighter was too dim, only illuminating a few meters ahead; anything further was beyond his sight. To keep the flame alive, he slowly moved forward.
Chen Haoxuan's left hand grasped the hand of the Masked Man who was holding Chen Yina hostage. He was no longer worried. His right hand rested on the Masked Man's wrist and then quickly moved upwards. Don't think that Chen Haoxuan was taking advantage; he wasn't interested in that. He was searching for the Masked Man's neck. If he didn't do this, how would he know where the Masked Man's neck was?
The Masked Man holding Chen Yina was also foolish. Afraid that Chen Yina would escape, he tightly clutched her clothing. With his left hand held by Chen Haoxuan and his right hand gripping Chen Yina's clothes, what could he use to resist Chen Haoxuan? His feet? Was he not afraid of falling? Moreover, in the darkness, how could he find a target to attack?
Chen Haoxuan's hand moved from the Masked Man's wrist to his neck. With a sudden force, Chen Haoxuan tightened his grip around the Masked Man's neck. The Masked Man began to cough, and after a few seconds, even the sound of his coughing ceased. If there had been light, one would have seen the Masked Man's eyes nearly bulging out.
"Ah—." Chen Haoxuan exerted more strength and roared as he lifted the Masked Man, who weighed over 160 pounds, above his head with one hand. Under normal circumstances, Chen Haoxuan would not have had such strength, but now it was different; he transformed his anger into power. All he wanted was to subdue the Masked Man, and this intense killing intent forced out all of his potential.
The Masked Man holding Chen Yina could no longer maintain his grip on her clothing. He clung desperately to Chen Haoxuan's right arm with both hands while kicking wildly in the air as if trying to find something to support his body.
Chen Yina protected her chest with both hands and stood still in fear. The sudden blackout in the living room left her unable to see anything. Then she heard the agonizing screams of the Masked Man who had just taken her hostage. Not knowing what to do, she chose to remain where she was.
Another Masked Man approached with a lighter. When he saw his partner being held above Chen Haoxuan's head, with his face turning red and eyes nearly popping out, he broke into a cold sweat from fear.
Chen Haoxuan noticed the flicker of light and turned sharply.
The Masked Man with the lighter saw Chen Haoxuan suddenly turn around—his bloodied face and furious expression combined with Chen Haoxuan still holding up his partner made him scream in terror as he dropped the lighter on the ground.
Chen Haoxuan threw down the Masked Man he was holding; he knew this Masked Man had temporarily lost his fighting ability, so he wasn't worried about resistance from him. His concern lay with the other Masked Man.
The one who had just held the lighter was now spotted by Chen Haoxuan. He remembered where that Masked Man was located and quickly charged toward him.
In the darkness, a few screams echoed, and then there was silence, nothing but quiet.
"Xuan, are you okay? Brother Xuan..." Chen Yina nervously called out Chen Haoxuan's name. If anything happened to him, she didn't want to live anymore.
"Nana, don't worry, I'm fine. Just wait a moment; I'll turn on the light," came Chen Haoxuan's voice from the darkness.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's voice made Chen Yina both cry and laugh. At that moment, she realized that his voice was the most beautiful sound in the world, and it was the one she wanted to hear the most.
