<h4>Chapter 1330: Chapter 1321: Hesitation</h4>


    "Alright, I’ll ask you a question," Ren Tianye cut straight to the chase, "Where’s the woman who was captured by the organization a few days ago? Tell the truth and I might spare your life."


    "..." At that moment, the chief thought about getting out to find hisrades, maybe they could gather enough strength to recapture this traitor. However, that idea was immediately dismissed. In the current organization, other than the boss, probably no one could be a match for him! And even if they caught him, they couldn’t keep him, he could break free from even the strongest mystical iron!


    "She’s locked in a room upstairs in this vi," the man in ck weighed the pros and cons and decided to stay on Ren Tianye’s side. It’s wise to adapt to the times, and he figured that even if he didn’t reveal the truth, Ren Tianye would eventually find his way upstairs, so why not go with the flow, maybe he could save his own life.


    "Fine! Then you lead the way!" Ren Tianye took a deep drag of his cigarette. With a fierce inhale, the cigarette turned into ashes. He didn’t look back, casually tossing the still-burning cigarette behind him. This broken ce was of no importance, so he decided to burn it down.


    The man in ck swallowed hard, watching the basement catch fire but dared not say a word, fearing that one wrong move and he would be fuel himself. The two opened the basement door and stepped outside the vi.


    The vi appeared quite picturesque, with a few men in formal ck suits outside, resembling regr bodyguards. It had a garden, a swimming pool, and a yard, all on a hilltop in Beijing. Such a property could easily cost seven figures, but Ren Tianye knew to the organization, it was just a drop in the bucket.


    Over the years, the organization’s dark dealings, purging dissidents, thriving in both legal and illegal businesses, each sessful transaction worth a vi at least, led Ren Tianye to disillusionment, prompting him to defect.


    To outsiders, this might just look like a rich person’s home, with the bodyguards being normal. For the wealthy, what is money anyway?


    As soon as the iron basement door nged open, the guards all turned their heads and were stunned: their boss was releasing the hard-captured traitor and even leading the way! Though shocked, none dared to speak without an order!


    "What are you looking at! Keep watch, don’t even let a fly get away!" the man in ck barked at his subordinates, maintaining amanding air. He felt helpless with a knife at his throat!


    They gradually made their way to the third floor and finally stopped at a room. Ren Tianye gestured for the door to be opened. The two bodyguards outside hesitated, but under the watchful gaze of their chief, reluctantly unlocked the door.


    Sure enough, inside was a rtivelyfortable room with everything one could need. Ren Tianye almost cursed — he was beaten downstairs while this woman ate bread. Damn, the organization certainly favored Hua Zeqian. But he knew better than to dwell on it.


    After waking the woman on the bed, who bore a slight resemnce to Ci Xin, Ren Tianye briefly introduced himself. Hua Zeqian, being sharp-witted, understood that whether or not Ren was truthful, staying here meant captivity, whereas leaving might mean a chance to escape.


    After a brief exchange, they wasted no time, as every second counted, fearing reinforcements might arrive,plicating their escape.


    With strange looks and restless movements all around, the three finally reached the vi’s front gate.


    "Open the gate!"manded the man in ck, eyes exuding authority.


    "Uh..." The gatekeepers, ck-suited men with sunsses, exchanged hesitant nces. They controlled a key security point and were puzzled as to why their boss seemed poised to let the hard-captured traitor and even the chosen woman of their leader escape. Despite the confusion, they hesitated to act.


    Caught between an order and their duty, they deliberated for a long while. Finally, after a mutual nce, one of them mustered courage: "Boss, we can’t let them go!"


    "Right!" the other guard chimed in, "Boss, it took us so much effort to catch them, letting them go just doesn’t seem right. Maybe we should consult the leader for his intention?" His implication was clear; they doubted their superior’s intent.


    "I’m the leader here!" the man in ck shouted, though internally anxious, fearing this was hisst chance. Damn it, these novices were trying to kill him. The immense energy from the being behind, who knew what brand of "energy drink" he took to suddenly surge with such power. His orders must be obeyed.


    The two guards exchanged another nce and shook their heads. They wouldn’t allow it, convinced the organization followed the leader’smand!


    "Very well, very well!" The man in ckughed wryly, "Loyal to the point of not listening to your boss, indeed true to your training!"


    Every guard noticed the situation, fell into silence, wondering within.


    "Since you’re so loyal, then—" Suddenly, the man’s gaze turned sinister, raising his voice fiercely, "Die for him then!" No sooner had he spoken than his figure flickered, and in an instant, appeared behind the two guards, using a ruthless technique to snap their necks!


    The unfortunate guards, unaware, were killed by their supposed leader, never imagining the kind boss capable of such violence! Ren Tianye, standing behind smoking, exhaled lightly, squinting pensively.


    Despite being a woman, Hua Zeqian had frequently dealt with such matters over the years, and admired the man’s methods. Her indifferent view nowpletely changed.


    "Does anyone else object?" The man in ck, like a proud king, surveyed the bodies of two subordinates, an invisible murderous aura radiating. Scanning the surroundings, he seemed to im dominion over the area. Despite their doubts, none dared step forward, aware they weren’t a match for the chief, and unwilling to risk their lives.
