Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201 “The item is in our hands now.” Jin Tuantuan was overjoyed, finally feeling that all their efforts had not been in vain. Next, Zhang Yang recounted what had happened earlier, only then did Jin Tuantuan realize that Zhang Yang had snatched the item from Uncle Long. Jin Tuantuan laughed and said, “So, it seems like the Qingyi Sect and Uncle Long want to join forces against us now.” Zhang Yang nodded, “Most likely, that’s the case. So later, you take Xia Xue and leave first. I’ll stay behind and catch up with you afterward.” From Zhang Yang’s perspective, staying entangled with those people while with Xia Xue was too dangerous. Zhang Yang was also worried he might not be able to protect Xia Xue, and if something happened to her, he would never forgive himself. In Zhang Yang’s eyes, nothing—neither the mysterious herb nor the pill—was more important than the people around him. The reason he put so much effort into snatching these things was simply not to see those people smug. Moreover, he always felt those people were brewing some massive conspiracy. Zhang Yang even thought he couldn’t avoid this conspiracy, so it was better to take the initiative, which led to today’s action. Hearing Zhang Yang’s plan, Xia Xue felt a bit guilty and said, “How about I go on my own first? Without me, you two might have a better chance against them.” After all, both Zhang Yang and Jin Tuantuan were very strong. Jin Tuantuan hugged Xia Xue with a smile and said, “You’re my savior. If you hadn’t pulled me out, I might have been trapped inside.” Those words weren’t false; Zhang Yang’s frame couldn’t fit into the small hole earlier. “But what do we do now? I’ll only be a burden to you two while I’m here,” Xia Xue said. Zhang Yang comforted her, “Don’t be nervous, this is why Tuantuan will first take you away.” “As for me, don’t worry, even though there are many of them, if I really want to run, they won’t catch up with me.” Zhang Yang had this confidence. But at this moment, Jin Tuantuan laughed and said, “No need to complicate things; we’ll leave together, all three of us.” Zhang Yang was slightly stunned and then asked Jin Tuantuan with surprise, “What? Did you leave yourself a fallback plan?” Thıs content belongs to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 Jin Tuantuan was a bit smug, “Of course, after all, I’m the leader of an organization. Blood-colored Begonia’s strength and heritage far surpass that of Qingyi Sect and the so-called Uncle Long.” “If not for recently having everyone work overtime to take on assignments to raise the organization’s prestige, it wouldn’t just be a few of us going solo in this operation.” “In terms of numbers, we don’t lose to them,” Jin Tuantuan said confidently. Zhang Yang also believed these words, because even if Blood-colored Begonia was not what it used to be, it was still a famously international assassin organization, like a camel too robust to fall quickly. Subsequently, Jin Tuantuan took out a set of devices, and though Zhang Yang couldn’t make sense of it, he felt Jin Tuantuan seemed to be sending a signal with this thing. Jin Tuantuan kept it mysterious, “Don’t worry, there’ll be a surprise soon.” Zhang Yang chuckled, “I’m just worried your surprise might come later than those people.” Jin Tuantuan’s expression changed and then said to Xia Xue, “In my bag, there’s something good—could you get it out for me?” Xia Xue complied and brought out two medicine boxes. Zhang Yang took one look and knew what was inside. “How come you brought this stuff?” This was an adrenaline injection—plainly speaking, a stimulant. Jin Tuantuan explained, “Just in case.” “Now they’re quite useful, or else in this state, I wouldn’t be able to help you much if those people attacked, unable to buy us any time.” Zhang Yang thought it over and agreed; this didn’t have any major downsides except perhaps some weakness afterward, but he could later get Jin Tuantuan some tonics, so it should be fine. “Fine, get me a shot too.” Jin Tuantuan knew Zhang Yang had been leading the charge, dealing with two groups, traversing tough routes, and carrying her. His exhaustion was imaginable. Zhang Yang was naturally skilled at administering injections. First, he gave Jin Tuantuan a shot, and then himself. Seeing this, Xia Xue weakly asked, “Will I become formidable after a shot? Should I get one too?” Zhang Yang and Jin Tuantuan both looked at Xia Xue, amused and speechless. This wasn’t some magic elixir; it merely kept one in a heightened state to exert 120% of their power. In the end, Jin Tuantuan entrusted Xia Xue with a crucial task. She handed the signaling device to Xia Xue, insisting she guard it well. Jin Tuantuan seriously said, “This thing has a tracking function, and if we lose it, we’re really doomed.” Upon hearing this, Xia Xue urgently clutched this brick-like item to her chest, not letting it slip even a bit. Her actions amused Zhang Yang. “Tuantuan, don’t scare my cousin, or I won’t be polite with you.” Then Zhang Yang placed the tracking device into Xia Xue’s bag. “Just carry it ; don’t worry too much, we’re all together anyhow.” Xia Xue relaxed a little after Zhang Yang’s reassurance. The stimulant quickly took effect, and Zhang Yang felt invigorated, got up, and walked out, saying, “I’ll go check outside. I guess those people should be arriving soon.” “If anyone comes, I’ll fire a warning shot.” Jin Tuantuan reminded him, “Got it. Be careful.” “Sure, no problem,” Zhang Yang replied, then went out. This place was just a temporary hideout, located halfway up the mountain, not very high in altitude. Underfoot were stones. From this position, you could see both up and down, but not to the sides. So Zhang Yang had to be cautious. He figured those two groups probably couldn’t hold back much longer. Half an hour later, Zhang Yang suddenly saw Sun Hongwu climbing up. Moreover, he only brought two people along, which surprised Zhang Yang greatly. “Zhang Yang, so you were here. You really made me search,” Sun Hongwu said. Zhang Yang cheerfully asked, “What’s up?” “Isn’t that a silly question? Have you forgotten our partnership?” “Now that Uncle Long is gone, shouldn’t you hand over that item to me?” Sun Hongwu said with a sullen face. “Why should I give it to you? It was Uncle Long who gave it to me,” Zhang Yang replied, teasingly looking at Sun Hongwu.
