Yin Jiu was stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen from the clouds into an ice cave.

He knew that Black Boss would not deceive him, and even Vice Chief Pan could not protect him, so the situation was very tricky.

Yin Jiu's expression changed erratically. After a while, he knelt directly in front of Black Boss with a 'thud' and cried loudly, "Boss, you must save me!"

Black Boss looked at Yin Jiu, who was kneeling and crying on the ground, his heart a mix of emotions.

He had no descendants, and now he regarded Yin Jiu as half a son. Yin Jiu's kneeling made his heart extremely complex.

He slowly reached out and helped Yin Jiu up, saying in a low voice:

"You need to behave and be obedient.

Vice Chief Pan and I will find a way to save you!

But the most important thing now is that you must first admit your mistake. Don't even think about escaping. Yun Qianqian's current abilities are beyond your imagination. I'm telling you, the current Yun Qianqian could destroy the entire E City in an instant!

If you don't know your place, no one can save you!"

When Yin Jiu heard this, his face turned as white as paper, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Black Boss would not lie to him. He couldn't understand how Yun Qianqian had become so terrifying!

He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Boss, you must save me!"

Black Boss sighed in his heart, looking at Yin Jiu's appearance. He knew that Yin Jiu's feelings for Yun Qianqian were very complicated, but now was not the time to be immersed in emotions.

He said in a deep voice, "Xiao Jiu, this is not the time to be afraid. You need to calm down and listen to my arrangements!"

Yin Jiu raised his head and nodded pitifully.

Seeing this, a hint of unbearable pain flashed in Black Boss's eyes. In fact, he wasn't sure he could protect Yin Jiu either.

Soon, Yin Jiu was led to outside the city gate.

The moment he saw Yun Qianqian, a hint of infatuation still couldn't help but appear in Yin Jiu's eyes.

But when he saw the 13 Azure Cloud Guards behind Yun Qianqian, his whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cave. Those 13 Azure Cloud Guards were like gods descended to earth, each one exuding an aura that suffocated him, and Yin Jiu could barely stand.

He didn't dare to look into the Azure Cloud Guards' eyes. Black Boss had repeatedly warned him on the way not to anger Yun Qianqian and not to look into the Azure Cloud Guards' eyes, otherwise, it would be seeking death.

Yin Jiu walked to the front and, without hesitation, knelt before Yun Qianqian, prostrating himself on the ground with extremely fluid movements. Zuo Feng's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he saw it.

Prostrating on the ground, Yin Jiu kowtowed vigorously and cried out:

"Great Aunt Yun, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please spare my life, please give Xiao Jiu a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

This 'Great Aunt Yun' made everyone present freeze for a moment. This Yin Jiu really showed the essence of a man who can bend and stretch. Even Yun Qianqian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

However, thinking of how Yin Jiu had almost killed her, Yun Qianqian's gaze instantly turned cold. She looked at Pan Yeluo and said in a voice as cold as frost:

"Vice Chief Pan, I want to kill him. Do you have any objections?"

When Yin Jiu heard this, he kowtowed even more fiercely, blood already seeping from his forehead. He didn't dare to look up at Yun Qianqian and could only pin his hopes on Black Boss and Pan Yeluo.

Black Boss stepped forward, leaned into Pan Yeluo's ear, and whispered something. Pan Yeluo's expression changed constantly, hesitating, but in the end, he nodded gently.

Pan Yeluo slowly spoke:

"Miss Yun, Yin Jiu is indeed unforgivable, but I have a suggestion. I wonder if Miss Yun would be willing to hear my advice?"

Yun Qianqian's gaze shifted slightly, her voice still cold: "Speak."

Pan Yeluo glared fiercely at Yin Jiu, then slowly walked in front of Yun Qianqian and said in a low voice:

"Miss Yun, I am willing to trade a mutated plant for Yin Jiu's life. In addition, I will have Yin Jiu sever an arm as an apology to Miss Yun. Would Miss Yun please give me some face?"

When Zuo Feng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. This old fox.

He had previously probed, and this guy had stubbornly insisted he had no mutated plants, but now he suddenly brought one out to trade for Yin Jiu's life. He hid it really well.

It seemed that Yin Jiu's value was extraordinary.

Yun Qianqian's expression remained unchanged, but her gaze fell on Pan Yeluo. She slowly raised her eyes, looking directly at Pan Yeluo, her gaze as deep as a cold pool, making people tremble with fear.

She didn't rush to express her stance, but instead gently raised her right hand and brushed back a strand of black hair that had fallen by her ear.

Now, Yin Jiu was just a small character to them, posing no threat to Firefly, and mutated plants were rare. Yun Qianqian weighed her options for a moment before speaking:

"Vice Chief Pan, your bargaining chip is indeed tempting. I accept your proposal. However, there's one more thing: have Yin Jiu hand over You Huanghe. You Huanghe must die!"

Pan Yeluo's expression tightened. He didn't originally know such a small figure as You Huanghe, but now he was very concerned about that name, because he was one of Ye Wenwen's highly successful test subjects.

Pan Yeluo's expression shifted slightly, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes, then he said in a deep voice:

"Miss Yun, I won't hide this from you about You Huanghe. He is already dead, having become a zombie, and was one of the more successful test subjects in my Laboratory."

Pan Yeluo paused, then continued, "I wonder if Miss Yun is satisfied with this result?"

Yun Qianqian was slightly startled, not expecting You Huanghe to be dead and even become a test subject. However, since the person was dead, the debt was settled, and she couldn't pursue it further. She nodded coldly and said:

"Alright, then I thank Vice Chief Pan. I hope this small interlude will not affect our cooperation."

Pan Yeluo showed a hint of a smile and cupped his hands, saying:

"Miss Yun is indeed a reasonable person. Our cooperation will certainly not be affected. We still prioritize the bigger picture. Miss Yun, I will have someone go get the mutated plant now."

With that, Pan Yeluo sternly shouted at Yin Jiu with a straight face:

"Yin Jiu, why aren't you severing an arm to apologize to Miss Yun!"

Yin Jiu's face instantly turned ashen, his lips trembling, but he still raised his left arm without hesitation, gritted his teeth, and with his right hand, directly tore off his entire arm at the shoulder. Blood gushed out, staining the ground. Yin Jiu's face was pale, but he didn't utter a sound, kneeling on the ground.

His decisiveness made everyone look at him with new respect.

Soon, Wen Wudao drove a large truck slowly. When Zuo Feng saw the truck, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes. The truck was loaded with the priceless treasure he had traded with Wen Wudao.

Wen Wudao jumped out of the truck and nodded to Zuo Feng, signaling him to come forward and inspect.

Zuo Feng quickly walked to the truck, climbed into the truck bed, and after a careful inspection, Zuo Feng's face was filled with shock mixed with unconcealed ecstasy. Although he had been prepared, seeing the real thing, Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel his heart race and his hands tremble slightly.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement, then turned and jumped out of the truck bed, nodding solemnly to Wen Wudao and saying in a low voice:

"No problem, Vice Leader Wen, we'll go to Firefly to sign the contract now."

He and Wen Wudao had agreed to ensure Wen Wudao's safety before Wen Wudao became a Super Individual, so Wen Wudao naturally had to follow Zuo Feng back to Firefly now.

It was no wonder Wen Wudao had such a proposal. If Zuo Feng hadn't already acquired the item in the truck bed, even he, knowing its existence, would have done everything possible to get his hands on it.

After Pan Yeluo brought the mutated plant, Zuo Feng didn't delay. After bidding farewell to Jun Moce, Pan Yeluo, and Mo Tianya, he took Wen Wudao and set off on their return journey.
