The clock soon struck midnight, and visibility was practically reduced to zero due to the torrential rain, but the people waiting for Ye Fan at Yunwu Lake still saw no sign of him whatsoever. Of course, Meng Wanyu wasn't surprised by the outcome in the slightest.

The only reason she stayed till then was to have Qiu Mucheng see Ye Fan's true nature.

"It's over, Ms. Qiu. So, what do you have to say now? I told you, didn't I? Men cannot be trusted. They're all ungrateful and heartless b*stards, but Ye Fan really takes the cake! He toyed with my best friend's feelings, and now he doesn't even care if his wife lives or dies! A man like this isn't worthy of your love at all.

I suggest you pick your men more wisely next time," Meng Wanyu said with a sneer as she slowly stood up and glanced at Qiu Mucheng.

Her hatred and disdain toward Ye Fan were clearly reflected in her tone, but those feelings of hers didn't really apply to Qiu Mucheng.

In fact, she even found her circumstances to be somewhat pitiful.

Lei San, Wang Jiexi, and the others waiting beside the lake grew increasingly anxious when they saw Meng Wanyu get up.

"We can't afford to wait any longer! That crazy woman is about to make her move! Governor Han, have the snipers prepare to fire!"

Lei San and the others were forced into such a desperate situation that they believed the snipers were their only option left.

With a gloomy look in his eyes, Lu Tianhe stood up and made his way to the side of the lake. He then began accumulating the Qi in his body and got it surging through his veins in preparation for an all-out battle.

Should the snipers miss their shot, he would charge in as a last resort and try his best to rescue Qiu Mucheng.

Of course, Lu Tianhe wasn't the only one with that idea.

Xu Lei, who had rushed all the way over from Yanjing, was also ordering her fighters, "Get ready to attack on my mark! We must protect Ms. Qiu at all costs!"

Even Ye Yuyan, who was recovering from her injuries in the hospital, had rushed over that night.

The men from the Green Dragon Force too, had their gaze fixated on the middle of the lake.

Each and every one of them was as tense as a fully drawn bow, ready to launch themselves at Meng Wanyu if she tried anything funny.

"Listen up, everyone! Instructor Chu has given us all new lives, so we owe it to him to keep Ms. Qiu safe! We failed to protect her before, so we must redeem ourselves by rescuing her tonight, even if it costs us our lives!"

"Roger!" the members of the Green Dragon Force responded in unison.

Just like that, the various groups kept their gazes fixated on Meng Wanyu's every move.

Standing proudly above Yunwu Lake, Meng Wanyu slowly looked up and scanned her surroundings.

Moments later, her shrill laughter echoed throughout the area as she gloated, "Hahaha! When I first came here, I was told that Mr. Chu of Jiangdong is a man of righteousness. But now, it seems he is nothing but a coward who would leave his wife to die at the hands of her captors! How is such a man worthy of being the pride of Jiangdong? This is such a joke!"

Her tone was dripping with mockery and disdain, especially when she insulted Ye Fan.

Suddenly, Meng Wanyu tone turned ice-cold as she continued, "The three days are up, so it's about time we put an end to this farce."

Lei San and the others assumed Meng Wanyu was going to kill Qiu Mucheng when they heard that. "Have them take the shot, Governor Han!"

"Attack!" Xu Lei shouted.

"Let's go!" The Green Dragon Force members prepared to make their move as well.

Swoosh!

Right as they were about to spring into action, a loud sound tore through the night sky in the distance.

With the help of the dim lighting by the side of the lake, they could see multiple figures running through the shadows.

They were moving so fast that they could cover thousands of miles within seconds as they zipped past the buildings with ease.

"W-Who are those people?"

"I-Is that Mr. Chu?"

The commotion soon attracted the attention of the crowd at the scene.

Lei San and the others were so shocked that it took them a moment to regain their composure.

"Hahaha!"

“Mr. Chu!”

"That has got to be Mr. Chu!"

"Is Mr. Chu here?"

"Yeah! He has come to rescue his wife!"

"That crazy b*tch is done for now!"

"Hahaha!"

They then rushed forward and waved excitedly at the approaching figures.

"Lei San, are you sure that's really Mr. Chu?" Wang Jiexi asked.

Given how dark it was and the speed at which the figures were moving, it was only natural that he couldn't identify them at all.

"Who else could possibly be coming at such a time? It's definitely Mr. Chu! He must've brought some powerful fighters with him! He loves showing up at the very last minute because it makes him look cooler, you see. Haha! Anyway, let's go welcome him!" Lei San replied excitedly.

The sight of Ye Fan's arrival relieved him of his anxiety as well as the burden of protecting Qiu Mucheng.

With Ye Fan around, they no longer had to worry about the huge threat that stood before them.

Lei San and the others then stood in two straight lines and bowed at the figures coming their way.

"I, Lei San..." "I, Wang Jiexi..."

"I, Han Dongmin..." "I, He Lanshan..."

They then continued in unison, "Welcome your arrival, Mr. Chu!"

Their loud voices boomed in the silence of the night and attracted the attention of everyone around them.

The look in Meng Wanyu's eyes gradually turned cold as she frowned at the incoming figures.

Feeling relieved after hearing what Lei San and the others said, Qiu Mucheng glanced at Meng Wanyu and said defiantly, "Hah! I told you, Ye Fan isn't a heartless person! Do you believe me now, huh?" Meng Wanyu's face went pale, and she simply kept quiet as she had nothing to say in response.

"Ms. Xu, shall we go welcome the Dragon Master?" asked one of Xu Lei's subordinates when he saw how calm she was in comparison to Lei San and the others.

"Let's wait a little while longer," Xu Lei replied while shaking her head.

For some reason, she had a bad feeling as she stared at the figures that were getting closer.

Seconds later, all five figures finally arrived at the scene.

The one leading the group shoved Lei San and the others aside and shouted out loud, "Who are you calling 'Mr. Chu?' We are Grandmasters on China's Grandmaster list! We have come to Jiangdong under the order of the War God Castle to execute this woman from Chu Sect and punish the traitor of China! Where is Ye Fan? Hand him over right now!"

Lei San and the others were completely frozen in shock and bewilderment.

"A-Are these imperial commissioners?"
