Chapter 1117 - 1089: Spectacular Show (1,800 Monthly Votes Bonus)
"Yes, very beautiful." Balan glanced at Qian, not expecting Qian to be so young.
Yu Minglang was already a man nearing thirty. Balan thought he would see a strong woman, much like those sharp and skilled female doctors he had seen outside. He didn’t expect her to be just a young girl.
"Hello." Qian greeted him in English.
"You’ve worked hard. Our old master isn’t easy to deal with, right?" Balan probed.
Qian didn’t understand why this person appeared here, but she maintained the caution and prudence a doctor should have and just vaguely replied to Balan’s question.
"Hmm, I’m tired."
This left things quite ambiguous, making it unclear whether she had treated the old master well or not. Balan wanted to continue probing, but feared saying too much might arouse One’s suspicion.
When they were roommates in training camp, he understood better than anyone how frightening One’s sixth sense was. In front of One, any tiny clue would raise alarms.
As a result, Balan suppressed his curiosity about Qian and instead turned to Yu Minglang with a smile.
"One, can we have a drink now?"
Yu Minglang turned his head to look at Qian. Qian immediately understood and smiled wryly.
"Let’s go to Hai Zhao’s hotpot restaurant. With friends from afar, we ought to toast to you."
Yu Minglang let out a long breath, relieved that his wife was more easygoing.
Going to Hai Zhao’s hotpot restaurant, they could drink until late. As long as Qian offered a token toast and then let the restaurant staff take her home, Yu Minglang would be at ease, and it wouldn’t be considered impolite. The couple cooperated quite smoothly.
The distance from the villa area to the city center was quite far, and halfway through the drive, the beauty in the backseat suddenly barked and continuously scratched the glass with its paws.
Yu Minglang hurriedly parked the car by the roadside. "Looks like the beauty needs a pit stop. I’ll take her down."
With that, only Balan and Qian were left in the car. This place was dark without streetlights, and vehicles rarely passed through. With just a man and a woman alone, it was slightly inappropriate. Qian was about to say she’d go down too, but Balan spoke up.
"I need a break too. Let’s go down together."
Since that was the case, Qian stayed alone in the car, watching the two men and a dog run down the road’s slope. There was a small grove there, where it was private enough to go unnoticed.
Qian was idle and bored, so she played music and waited quietly.
Yu Minglang and the rest disappeared into the grove, and after about two minutes, Qian suddenly noticed several dark figures rushing out from the woods, heading straight for her car.
Qian had not turned on the lights, and the car was off. From the outside, it looked as if there was no one inside. Qian couldn’t see clearly what was happening outside but heard sounds of attempts to open the car door.
Her new car had not been delivered, and she was still driving her old red car. The people outside tried a key but couldn’t open it, so they switched on their strong flashlight and shone it at the door. This not only lit up the door but also revealed Qian sitting in the passenger seat.
"Look! There’s a woman in the car!"
Qian looked out calmly; the car window’s black tint absorbed some of the flashlight’s beam, making it less blinding. Qian could see clearly that there were five men outside.
"Indeed! Get that door open. The guys are about to have some fun! Haha!"
Accompanied by nasty laughter, Qian realized.
These men were likely unsavory characters from the nearby village. Anyway, they were bad guys, and judging by their speech, it seemed they had been drinking heavily. Seeing a car parked on the roadside likely sparked some ill intentions, either to steal it or cause damage. Drunks often lack self-control.
Then noticing a woman, a beautiful woman inside, these people began to boast.
The voices outside grew more and more provocative, and the words even more vile.
Yet, Qian remained unhurried. She picked up her phone and dialed Yu Minglang.
Meanwhile, the people outside were preparing to use a brick to smash the car window. Qian hesitated a bit when starting the car.
She actually didn’t want to leave...
She figured that if she drove away, she might miss a good show, but staying put facing a bunch of drunken crazy people was risky too. What if the glass fragments cut her?
Seeing her attempt to start the car, one man quickly ran to the front to block it, displaying some indecent behavior while doing so.
"Hey girl, come on, hit your brother! We’ve noted down your license plate number. If you dare hit your brother, he’ll spend the rest of his life at your house~ come hit us!"
The others burst into laughter, each one more detestable than the last.
Qian snorted; playing this game with her was simply courting death. Just when she was about to floor the gas pedal to run over this scum, she suddenly heard a dog barking.
It was here!
Qian quickly turned off the engine. Not only did she not leave, but she also turned on all the car’s lights, inviting them, hoping for some drama!
The drunken bastards didn’t understand why the pretty girl in the car didn’t flee. While they were bewildered, they suddenly heard a barking sound from behind. Before they could see clearly what was happening, the man blocking the car had already met his misfortune.
The beauty lunged forward, biting his leg and refusing to let go!
Qian clearly saw this scene, now somewhat convinced that her beauty, who was even afraid of small pugs, had indeed once been a working dog. That bite force, that combat prowess, was absolutely clean and efficient, biting once and not letting go, no matter how much the man screamed.
The other men hadn’t reacted yet. Before they could pick up anything to aid the one being bitten, Yu Minglang and Balan appeared behind them quietly like sons of the night. Two of them didn’t even realize what was happening, only feeling a breeze on the back of their necks, then their bodies went limp, collapsing to the ground.
Yu Minglang and Balan each dealt with one.
Among the remaining three, one was still being bitten by the beauty, screaming in pain, while the other two, just as they turned their heads, were each taken down by Yu Minglang and Balan respectively.
And they had already held back their strength, only knocking them unconscious. Had they used their full power, these men wouldn’t even have had the chance to survive. Yu Minglang and Balan were no ordinary people indeed.
