Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen

Fu Qing took her time eating her food. She chewed slowly but steadily, almost eating each strand of noodle one by one. Her calculated move paid off because the yellow-haired man was quickly losing patience.

“Can’t you eat faster?” The yellow-haired man couldn’t prevent himself from pushing her to speed it up.

“Why are you pressuring me? Do you have something urgent to do after this?” Fu Qing scoffed and rolled her eyes, taunting the yellow-haired man to the point where he couldn’t argue back.

Suddenly, Jin Hu trudged in from across the street where he had parked his car and looked for Fu Qing, who was eating. “Where did these noodles come from?” he inquired, his face grim and miffed.

The Blondie dutifully replied, “We ordered it from the new ramen place that opened a few days ago at the village entrance. Would you like to try some, boss?” he asked. “I’ll go get some for you.”

Jin Hu smacked him on the back of the head and jeered, “Eat your head off, bastard. Was it the owner who delivered this here earlier?”

The yellow-haired man was caught off guard and nearly fell out of his chair. He quickly regained control of his body and explained at once, “Yes, boss, but I told him to just put the food down, and he left without staying for another second.”

Jin Hu was enraged and slapped the guy’s face hard. “How could you be so reckless and stupid to allow that to happen?”

Suddenly, the other thug barged in, breathless, and stated, “Bro, I have a bad feeling something is off.” When he noticed Jin Hu in the house, he was taken aback. He immediately bowed down and blurted out, “Boss!”

“What do you mean? Is something wrong?”Jin Hu demanded, his face clouding up in frustration.

“I was out in the woods just now taking a leak when I noticed a convoy of cars with blacked-out windows approaching the village from afar.”

Jin Hu screamed wildly, “Son of a gun! Dammit!” and ordered his men to follow him. “Quick! Tie a piece of cloth over her mouth and make sure she doesn’t make a sound. We need to get her out of here right now.”

“Hey! I’m not done eating my noodles,” Fu Qing answered emphatically, pretending to look relaxed.

“Forget about eating! Move it!” Jin Hu asked, sweeping Fu Qing’s half-eaten bowl to the floor with the back of his hand. In a matter of seconds, Fu Qing’s entire body was covered with noodles and soup.

“Jerk!” Fu Qing felt provoked and quickly jumped to her feet.

At this point, however, everyone could distinctly hear fighting and something crashing to the ground outside the door.

“For the love of God, what the hell is going on out there?” Jin Hu clamored, his expression changing dramatically.

He drew a knife from his waistband and pointed its sharp edge over Fu Qing’s neck.

“Let’s go. Now!”

Jin Hu compelled Fu Qing to rise and get out of the house. As they were leaving, she noticed a familiar figure among the people fighting.

It was Zhan Qi!

He came all the way here to personally rescue her!

Zhan Qi kicked a thug and shoved him out of the way. He spun around just in time to meet Fu Qing’s gaze.

“Qing!” he yelled, startled, and dashed toward Fu Qing.

“Watch out!” she screamed back.

Zhan Qi took a step back to fend off a fruit knife coming his way. With his rear hand, he grasped the thug’s wrist and flung him to the ground with a quick shoulder toss.

“Qi!” Fu Qing cried out in distress.

Behind Zhan Qi, a thug brandishing a pointed iron rod used the chance to strike Zhan Qi in the head.

Zhan Qi felt a strong gust behind him. He cocked his head intuitively, but he had no chance of avoiding the strike.

He staggered on his feet as the iron rod slammed straight into his right shoulder.

“Good job,” Jin Hu said approvingly.

Fu Qing stepped forcefully on his foot while Jin Hu was distracted by the conflict in the courtyard. She paced backwards quickly, both hands on his blade, flipped her wrist, and raised her knee to strike his groin at the same time.

Her motions were as fluid as a flowing stream. Jin Hu couldn’t help but bend down as he felt a stinging ache in his crotch. Simultaneously, Fu Qing had already snatched the dagger away from his grip.

Fu Qing kicked him in the shins once more. Jin Hu’s body twisted like a cooked prawn this time, and he dropped to the ground, groaning in pain and unable to get back up.

At this time, the sound of police sirens could be heard approaching from afar. There were a lot of police cars en route there, based on the sound.

Most of the thugs in the courtyard had already been badly beaten by the men led by Zhan Qi. A handful of them quickly stopped fighting when they heard the loud police sirens approaching. When they realized things weren’t going according to plan, they bolted.

“Qi, are you all right?”

Fu Qing rushed over with a concerned expression and gave Zhan Qi’s face and body a quick scan. From the corner of his lips, a sliver of blood was flowing out. Fu Qing’s nose was swollen, and she blinked back the sudden scalding tears..
