After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 178 You can test how sharp my knife is.

Ye Sanqing's excellent eyesight allowed her to clearly see the number of people guarding outside.

There were two people at each of the front and back doors, and another group of two patrolled the house counterclockwise.

It's not clear what's inside the house yet, but if the kidnappers are reasonable, there should be at least two people guarding the hostage, with two more people evenly distributed among the other rooms for lookouts.

She thought quickly.

Isn't this target too conspicuous? Generally, such a setup would have a hidden exit.

Ye Sanqing quickly made a few gestures using the internationally recognized hand signals that Xiaochong had found, and immediately two men in black left them and went around to the back of the house.

First, send two people to find a possible exit.

Then she touched the equipment in her hands.

A baton, a dagger, and a stun gun... well, that's the most practical thing you can get within the bounds of legality.

So Ye Sanqing picked up two stones and held them in his hands.

Seeing her actions, Sheng Hanyu and Ye Jin'er also looked around and put two handy stones into their pockets.

If Ye Sanqing needs this weapon, they can at least provide it at any time.

Ye Sanqing decided to sneak over by herself. She knew the others were all somewhat skilled, but it was best for her to go alone on this mission.

Because they abide by the law, but the other party may not.

The worst-case scenario is that the other party has a gun, in which case... only she is capable of facing them head-on.

After Ye Sanqing finished making the hand gesture, he quickly climbed up the tree using both his hands and feet.

Following her instructions, the people below slowly spread out around the house, ready to provide support at any time.

Sheng Hanyu and Ye Jin'er maintained the closest position to Ye Sanqing.

Just as Ye Sanqing was getting closer to the house, the situation suddenly changed.

The patrolling duo said something to the person at the main gate, and then walked over here.

Ye Sanqing remained hidden on the tree branch, motionless, while Sheng Hanyu and Ye Jin'er immediately scattered to the sides.

The two men continued to make lewd remarks as they walked, which Ye Sanqing could clearly hear in the quiet night.

"Damn it, I just touched that guy in the car. He had such soft, delicate skin, I thought he was a young woman. Turns out he's a grown man. What bad luck!"

"What are you yelling about? You're just taking money to do a job, why are you babbling so much?"

"If they weren't offering so much, I really wouldn't be willing to do it. Who the hell would like a guy?!"

"This is his job. Is his job what makes you feel good?"

"Hey, I'm going to go back and have some fun after I get the money." The kidnapper said, spitting as if he was disgusted.

Ye Sanqing found it somewhat amusing; there was actually a dedicated kidnapper here.

However, she should speed up, because Xiaoming might be in danger right now!

Finding it funny didn't affect her judgment. She watched as the two figures gradually moved out of sight of the doorway, found a spot, and stood in a row, unzipping their pants.

Before the sound of water could even be heard, the kidnapper on the left had already turned his head to the right with his pupils dilated, and then a knife was pressed against his neck.

In a split second, a dark figure fell from the tree and struck the kidnapper on the right with lightning speed and precision. The man was knocked unconscious before he could even utter a sound.

It all happened so fast that all the person on the left could do was turn their head.

It was blocked even after only turning halfway.

Ye Sanqing lowered his voice, "How many of you are there?"

"Don't move or make a sound. You can try my knife to see how sharp it is."

In a split second, Ye Sanqing chose this seemingly dedicated kidnapper.

Firstly, this person sounded like he could be bribed, and secondly, the other one seemed a bit brainless, and Ye Sanqing didn't want to gamble on the possibility of him acting recklessly.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The kidnapper's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Say another word?" Ye Sanqing pushed the dagger in his hand forward, and the kidnapper Zuo immediately felt a chill on his neck.

Something flowed down.

The kidnapper, Zuo, was shocked. He hadn't expected this man to be even more ruthless than criminals like them, stabbing him without warning!

“I, I’ll say, there are eight of us in total. But I don’t know about the people inside the house.” As Ye Sanqing pushed the dagger forward a little more, the kidnapper Zuo almost cried out, but he held it back. His legs were trembling. “I really don’t know! They won’t let us go upstairs. There are only two of them downstairs, but it sounds like there are five or six people upstairs.”

Ye Sanqing quickly calculated. It was half again as much as she had expected, but it shouldn't be a problem.

"What weapons do you have?" she asked again.

"Just... a knife, a stick. Grandma, please spare me, I'm just a laborer..." the kidnapper pleaded.

Just as Ye Sanqing was about to ask if there were any guns, a voice interrupted her.

It was a communicator on the kidnapper's left waist.

Ye Sanqing was a bit speechless. This place was so small, couldn't they just communicate by shouting? Anyone who didn't know better would think the terrain was much more complicated!

The kidnapper turned towards her, trembling, but was forced to turn back by Ye Sanqing's knife tip.

"Go ahead. You know what to say."

The kidnapper obediently picked up the communicator. "On business, what's up?"

"What's going on that takes so long?"

Hearing the man's voice, which was steady but tinged with impatience, Ye Sanqing judged that this person was probably their leader.

“That old dog insists on taking a dump! Damn it, do you think I like it? I have to stand next to him, he stinks like hell! Hey boss, can't we get the food a little better? This…”

"Stop talking nonsense, come back as soon as you're done." The other party didn't seem to want to hear such specific details and hung up after saying that.

"My lady, please let me go!" the kidnapper said ingratiatingly, thinking he had handled the situation very smoothly.

“Hello, no.” Ye Sanqing gestured to Ye Jin’er with his other hand.

Ye Jin'er understood, came over and dragged the person off the ground, and changed her clothes in the bushes at lightning speed.

Fortunately, the other person was also a man of similar height, just a little bigger than Ye Jin'er, but it wasn't very noticeable because he was wearing clothes underneath.

When the kidnapper saw that there were other people around, he was even more terrified and simply gave up the last thought of resistance.

He had originally thought that since the other party was a woman, he might be able to find a chance to escape.

Right now, let's focus on how to get out of here alive.

Ye Sanqing moved his wrist, and the dagger plunged into the tree trunk to the left of the kidnapper, with most of it embedded in the trunk.

Ye Sanqing said coldly, "You, take him back. Did you see how fast I went?"

The glint of the dagger pierced the eye of the kidnapper, Zuo.

He blinked. So fast!

Although there was no immediate threat of a weapon against his neck, he had no doubt that the other person had other weapons on him. If he disobeyed in the slightest, the dagger would be aimed at his throat.

Ye Jin'er had already changed her clothes and emerged from behind the bushes.

Ye Sanqing nodded to him and pushed the kidnapper Zuo to him.

The kidnapper was on high alert, carefully following Ye Jin'er.

"Try to act natural," Ye Jin'er said. "Don't act like you have hemorrhoids acting up."

Ye Sanqing was about to return to the tree when he heard these words, and his hand trembled.

Don't even criticize the kidnappers!
