Niu Chuntian’s face still showed regret. "It is a pity. That big boss escaped."
"Chasing them during the day would be the same. As long as we find the bee bugs and butterflies, there will be traces," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.
"That is true." Niu Chuntian nodded in agreement. "It seems this is all we got today." Actually, the harvest was not small. Many people were already lying inside the room.
"This harvest is not bad," Wang Ye said slowly. He began to clean up other traces. Although this was the police station’s territory, making a mess was not good.
About ten minutes later, Zhu Yanyi’s legs suddenly went weak. She collapsed onto the floor with a thud. This startled Luo Gang and the others. They rushed over to check on her. "Miss, what is wrong?"
"They are finally gone," Zhu Yanyi said with a bitter smile, looking at Luo Gang. "It was my first time dealing with such people. How could my legs not go soft?" Her voice trembled slightly. She had lost all the calmness and composure she had shown earlier.
"Was your calmness just an act?" Luo Gang was stunned. She had been wondering why Zhu Yanyi was so calm facing such people. Her mental strength seemed too good. It turned out it was all an act.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Luo Gang pitifully. "If I didn’t act, what would happen? No matter what, I could not lose in presence."
"Why did you only react now?" Niu Chuntian asked curiously. She watched Zhu Yanyi, who Luo Gang had helped sit aside. She took a cup of hot water from Wang Ye and took a sip.
"That person was very suspicious. She had people watching me nearby. They just left," Zhu Yanyi explained.
It turned out that person did not believe Zhu Yanyi could be truly ruthless. After all, women being ruthless was often just on the surface. It was rare for someone to take down over ten people at once. So, she suspected Zhu Yanyi was only pretending to be tough. She ordered people to watch her after she left, to see what she would do. Zhu Yanyi’s calm expression had really fooled the watcher. She only dropped the act after everyone had truly left. Of course, Zhu Yanyi knew this clearly because of her wood ability. Through the information sent by surrounding plants, she knew who was nearby and their positions. This allowed her to execute today’s plan perfectly.
Yes, today’s plan was essentially an Empty Fort Strategy. Zhu Yanyi’s side only had a few people. If they really fought, even though her internal energy had reached the late stage of Dark Force, she might not be their match. Although she had attacked a person with a gun, that method could only be used once. If they really fought, her side had a higher chance of losing. So, from the start, she did not plan to confront them directly. Instead, she used the Empty Fort Strategy. In fact, she used it twice.
The first Empty Fort Strategy was capturing that ninja. The second Empty Fort Strategy scared away the second batch of people. The second batch was actually the most dangerous. If the first strategy failed, the worst outcome was losing Wang Meihua’s human skin. But if the second strategy failed, five lives would be lost here. So, she had planned from the start to use Blue Enchantress to scare people. Actually, Blue Enchantress was not as powerful as it sounded.
It was Zhu Yanyi’s luck that Blue Enchantress worked. She had made it out of boredom before coming here, originally for self-defense. Although it was poisonous, it could not kill people. It mainly interfered with people’s thinking. She never expected to actually use it.
