Poverty breeds cunning, wealth fosters conscience!
The old sayings passed down through generations are filled with great wisdom.
Once a person strikes it rich, their transformation is comprehensive, from the inside out.
Take Xiao Tianci, for instance.
If he hadn't gone legitimate and gone ashore, I might now be running for my life, chased ragged by him and a pack of desperadoes.
But look at him now; not only does he abide by the rules set by the law, but he doesn't even show his face, lurking in the shadows to fight me remotely.
This is the true depiction of an ordinary person whose status and background have been elevated by wealth.
Rich people don't casually risk their lives against commoners because they know that life is the most valuable thing!
Although Xiao Tianci's revenge came swiftly and was hard to guard against, it wasn't fierce at all.
Yet, I couldn't afford to be careless!
Because I had already seen in the eyes of those young men, a glint of killing intent that suddenly erupted, unmasked.
Desperadoes!
This was a group of desperadoes who had accepted hush money!
...
"Don't let that woman get away!"
After the sudden turn of events, someone among the desperadoes finally snapped back to reality, and then shouted at the top of his lungs, immediately leading his men to charge at me.
At this moment, Yu Shuang, who had been slow to react, also sensed that the situation was not right and quickly asked me, "Did you drive here or...?"
"I took a taxi!" I replied quickly.
Upon hearing this, as she rushed downstairs, Yu Shuang immediately pointed outside the shop door to a spot, "My car is over there!"
I knew what Yu Shuang meant by saying this; it was about making a swift escape.
In broad daylight, fighting desperadoes head-on was the worst strategy; anyone who could run and didn't was a complete fool!
After rushing into the lobby downstairs, I unceremoniously called for Camel and his apprentice to join me, while pulling Yu Shuang towards where her car was parked.
The Queen Bee, wearing high heels, couldn't run fast. After just a few steps out of the shop door, she was entangled by the desperadoes lying in wait outside.
Seeing this, before letting go of Yu Shuang's hand, I pushed her forward with all my might and said, "Hurry and get to the car!"
With that, I called out to Camel and his apprentice, and turned to face the group of desperadoes.
I never imagined that one day I would put myself in danger to protect the Queen Bee, Yu Shuang.
To be honest, I wasn't blinded by Yu Shuang's beauty and impulsively playing the hero.
She could die, but she absolutely could not die in Longxi!
Because Xiao Tianci's second move was a set of consecutive attacks, using a borrowed knife to kill and framing me!
He was using the desperadoes' knives to kill Yu Shuang, and if successful, then this final blame... I would have to bear it even if I didn't want to!
After all, Yu Shuang came to Longxi to help me. Even if there were reasons or even suspicious circumstances, as long as she died, the Fengbei Yu family would definitely hold me accountable!
Therefore, I couldn't let anything happen to her, let alone let her die!
To divert the attention of the desperadoes and buy Yu Shuang time to drive, I provoked them, "You bunch of useless cowards, what kind of skill is it to bully a woman? If you have the guts, come at me!"
Upon hearing this, the desperadoes immediately became enraged and exploded.
"Damn it, he's the one who hit me!"
The middle-aged man I had sneak-attacked earlier pointed at me, covering his nose, and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, several desperadoes immediately charged at me.
In an instant, I was surrounded.
Although the situation was extremely unfavorable, my heart was calm, and I didn't feel the slightest bit of panic.
The reason for this was that I realized these desperadoes didn't seem to recognize me at all.
Just as I had analyzed in secret earlier, Xiao Tianci couldn't find my whereabouts, so he turned his attention to Yu Shuang.
The desperadoes in front of me were sent by him specifically to tail Yu Shuang.
If nothing unexpected happened, these people had been watching Yu Shuang for more than a day or two.
Xiao Tianci must have assigned them tasks in secret, telling them to keep a close eye on Yu Shuang and to strike when she was alone.
Yu Shuang's arrangement to meet me alone tonight undoubtedly provided an opportunity for these desperadoes.
As I figured out the cause and effect, a big man leading the charge to surround me glared at me with gritted teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they made cracking sounds.
"You little punk, you're in trouble! Big trouble!!!"
Just as I was about to retort, I suddenly heard the roar of an engine from behind me.
Then...
"Get out of the way!!!"
The moment Yu Shuang's voice fell, I instinctively dodged to the side without turning my head.
Vroom vroom...
I saw Yu Shuang driving a black Range Rover, flooring the accelerator, and steering the car directly towards the leading big man!
Due to the suddenness of the event, the leading big man didn't react at all, so there was no question of him escaping. He just stood there, dumbfounded, watching the Range Rover hurtle towards him.
Bang!!!
The leading big man was instantly sent flying, falling to the ground with blood gushing out.
Seeing the sudden bloody scene in broad daylight, I immediately shouted at Yu Shuang, "What the hell! Are you crazy!?"
"I'm not crazy! Get in the car quickly!" Yu Shuang said calmly, "My principle in life is, whoever wants my life... I kill them!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but shiver.
As expected of the Queen Bee Yu Shuang, her courage and boldness were something I couldn't match.
After calling Camel and his apprentice into the car, I thought Yu Shuang would choose to make a quick getaway.
But to my surprise, after putting the car in reverse and backing up quickly, she actually slammed on the accelerator again and rammed into the group of desperadoes!
Bang bang bang...
Sitting in the car, I could clearly feel that something was being pressed under the front of the car.
It could be people, or it could be some objects.
Whatever it was, it didn't matter at that moment.
Because Yu Shuang started repeating the same action!
Again, and again, and again...
After two or three minutes.
Of the desperadoes who had charged downstairs with such imposing momentum, not a single one was standing anymore. They were all lying on the ground in agony.
I thought I would feel fear, trembling, or even revulsion, but the actual feeling that swept over me was... exhilaration!
At this moment, I suddenly realized that all the blood in my body was boiling uncontrollably.
A fierce killing intent, never before experienced, silently spread and enveloped my entire mind!
