Chapter Ninety-Nine: Silencing the Witness!

The burly man arrogantly declared, but before Wang Gui could ask anything, two more figures appeared in the center of the factory.

This time, they were two middle-aged men, each seemingly in their fifties. The man beside Wang Gui looked excited, as if he had just seen his saviors.

However, before he could act, a short dagger pierced his chest!

Instantly, the bearded man collapsed and died on the spot.

Xiao Ye and Wang Gui immediately realized the gravity of the situation—failure meant immediate elimination.

This only deepened Xiao Ye’s curiosity about their identities.

“Gentlemen, we both know your strength is formidable, but why interfere with our little business?” one of the middle-aged men spoke directly.

Wang Gui smiled faintly, but his eyes grew sharper and colder.

“Little business? What you call big business must be on a global, even cosmic scale,” he retorted.

The expressions on the two men’s faces darkened. Seeing that Wang Gui and Xiao Ye had no intention of leaving, one said, “You two deserve death. Since you refuse to leave, come with us to make amends.”

But the two in front of them showed no interest in talking.

“My luck has been extraordinary these days—why do I keep running into people like this?” Xiao Ye muttered. Between the previous middle-aged men and these two, it seemed he had encountered all the experts in Jianghai City.

“I don’t care what your intentions are, but these two must be handed over to me for disposal!” Wang Gui said calmly, but his tone was resolute and unwavering.

Xiao Ye nodded slightly. He wasn’t interested in the two men themselves, only in the clues behind them.

“You brats!” The two middle-aged men were now furious.

They were respected figures with considerable influence, yet these youngsters not only refused to listen but threatened to kill them. It was not only humiliating but a grave insult.

The two men lunged forward, engaging in combat with the younger pair. Today, they intended to teach them a lesson.

The four clashed fiercely, dust swirling in the factory’s center.

At first, the two middle-aged men believed they were dealing with mere children—not worth fearing. At worst, a minor setback to remind them that being a hero was no easy feat.

But to their horror, the two younger men’s strength and skill were on par with their own, and their formation quickly faltered.

Though still capable, they couldn’t easily break down; dozens of moves exchanged before they separated. The middle-aged men were already breathing heavily, while Xiao Ye remained relaxed.

“Hope you don’t die,” Wang Gui said.

“You too, or no one will bury you!” Xiao Ye shot back immediately, and the four collided once again.

This fight could not last long.

The two middle-aged men quickly exhausted their strength, staring at the still vigorous younger pair. Truly, youth feared no fist.

“Enough! Do you know who we are? We represent the Cheng family. Understand this—this time we let you go,” one of the elders said, pride and arrogance shining in his eyes. The Cheng family evidently wielded great influence.

This piqued Xiao Ye’s curiosity; he had never heard of the Cheng family before in Jianghai City, nor encountered anyone named Cheng.

“Hahaha, old man, don’t be ridiculous. Do you still not see who’s winning? Killing you would be effortless, but I have no intention of letting you walk away!” Wang Gui laughed loudly. He had already seen through the two men—they were merely spent arrows at the end of their flight.

The middle-aged men cursed under their breath, realizing they could not hold much longer. Continuing would only lead them to death.

They could only invoke the name of their powerful family behind them, hoping to intimidate their opponents.

No one expected Wang Gui to see through their disguise at a glance.

Now, with the arrow on the string, it had to be released.

Wang Gui charged at the middle-aged men, with Xiao Ye following a few seconds later.

They struck with their most powerful killing moves. After a few rounds, the middle-aged men lay battered and breathless.

Thus, the two middle-aged men were beaten to death by Xiao Ye and Wang Gui.

“Mission accomplished,” Xiao Ye smiled lightly, slapping Wang Gui’s shoulder with some force.

Wang Gui snorted coldly. Though the victory wasn’t solely due to his strength, now that the mission was complete, he relaxed.

From afar came the sound of sirens—someone was rushing toward them.

Wang Gui prepared to leave but suddenly turned back to look behind.

Xiao Ye and Wang Gui stayed, intending to explain the situation.

Seeing this, Wang Gui considered leaving but ultimately decided to stay.

Xiao Ye was about to ask why when the newcomers burst into the factory.

Apart from the two kidnapped women, only he and Wang Gui remained standing.

The scene was harrowing. One team leader struggled to suppress the urge to vomit as he approached Xiao Ye.

“Did you two subdue all these people?” he asked.

“Yes,” Xiao Ye nodded, recounting part of the night’s events, with Wang Gui supporting him.

“This operation tonight is extremely serious. I need to take you both in for questioning,” the team leader said, producing handcuffs.

A dispute broke out. Xiao Ye didn’t waste words and pulled out his credentials.

He always carried them precisely for such situations.

This was a major reason they hadn’t fled.

The officer accepted the documents skeptically. Upon verifying Xiao Ye’s identity, he returned the credentials with trembling hands.

“This was a top-secret operation tonight. Do not mention this to anyone,” Xiao Ye instructed the leader, saluted him, and then left the factory.

Passing the entrance, they learned the two women slated to be sold tonight were employees of a local nightclub.

“After tonight’s actions, everyone will probably hear about what happened in Jianghai City by tomorrow,” Wang Gui said, his expression calm.

“No matter. The people of Jianghai City can handle losses of this magnitude,” Xiao Ye replied as he started the car and drove away from the factory.
