Chapter 1989 - 1983: Who Are They

The three of them followed the crowd outside, when suddenly a cry came from behind, sounding like a child’s voice. Ye Ning immediately turned her head.

At a glance, she saw a little girl, no more than three or four years old, standing in the middle of the ruins, crying helplessly while people rushed back and forth around her in panic. The child was knocked around several times, staggering and crying even harder.

Ye Ning hurriedly said, "Wait."

Watching her run back against the flow of people, several members of the Guard Team in front were shocked.

"Miss, don’t go back, the building is about to collapse, hurry and leave."

It seemed like Ye Ning didn’t hear them. At this moment, she dashed across, nimbly sidestepping people and leaping over a man’s shoulder as he charged towards her. Despite the crowd, every time it looked like she was about to collide with someone, she easily dodged, leaving the Guard Team behind in awe.

Ye Ning rushed over and grabbed the child.

"Don’t cry, I’ll take you out."

She glanced at the child to make sure she was okay and picked her up to leave. At that moment, Gu Qingcheng saw from a distance that the concrete above was about to tilt down.

"Ye Ning, run!" he shouted.

Ye Ning paused, looking up...

She only felt a wave of dust descending upon her.

As she was in a daze, suddenly, someone moved swiftly behind her, scooping Ye Ning into their arms to protect her, and then...

The concrete indeed smashed down.

It fell heavily on the person shielding her, before shattering beside them.

Ye Ning looked up in shock to see a bearded, dark-skinned member of the Guard Team.

Previously she hadn’t noticed him much, but now he had quickly rushed over.

Before she could express her thanks, Gu Qingcheng had already rushed over.

"Are you crazy, not leaving quickly and worrying about others."

Ye Ning looked at him, "Are you okay?"

The Guard Team member touched his back and shook his head.

The other members quickly rushed them away.

The group hurriedly evacuated in the chaos.

They discovered that only this building had exploded, the other floors were unharmed.

Outside, the sound of ambulances and police cars came through. Ye Ning looked around, suddenly feeling something was off. She was still holding the child in her arms, and before she had time to find the child’s parents, suddenly...

Ye Ning frowned, "Someone’s coming, hurry."

As expected, the sound of a helicopter grew louder, and then three people suddenly jumped down, dressed in black tactical gear and wearing masks, descending from the sky. The first one charged straight at Ye Ning.

As Gu Qingcheng hesitated, QM swept past like the wind, immediately grabbing the attacker by the neck. However, the person was skilled and quickly escaped his grasp, drawing a curved blade. As it slashed by, QM’s white clothes were instantly torn, but fortunately, he was quick enough that not a scratch was made.

He looked down and cursed, "Damn, my new trendy brand."

Ye Ning saw the person’s blade slash at her again, a slight pause in her eyes.

"Japanese from the Wutao Family?"

QM turned back, "What?"

Ye Ning followed up with a side kick, knocking away the silver blade. Behind, two others teamed up with the attacker and advanced again, forming a versatile formation. Ye Ning’s eyes lit up, and the corners of her lips curled into a smile.
