The burly man struggled to get up, his eyes were still shining with stars.
"What did you just say? Whose woman do you want to play with?" The brawny man's heart suddenly began to beat faster. He felt a sense of danger engulf him.
His attacker stood there, noble and cold.
When the burly man glanced over, he trembled with fear.
This was the first time he had experienced Huo Nanchen's aura, and his legs and stomach could not help but quiver.
"I..."
When he looked up, he saw Huo Nanchen's cold face. His leather shoes stepped on his hands and crushed them. Huo Nanchen then kicked his stomach again, and his entire body moved a few more meters. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The few outlaws around him were frightened by this cruel and bloody scene. Their faces turned pale. There was no need to join in on such a one-sided fight.
This was not the first time Gu Ruochu had experienced such a scene. She had witnessed more bloody scenarios than this one.
However, this was the first time she had seen Huo Nanchen fight. His facial expression was like that of a dark Asura and it exuded a vicious aura. It was truly terrifying.
Wasn't he in a foreign country? Why had he returned? Before she could figure it out, she saw Xu Yichen coughing violently.
"Yichen, are you alright?"
Xu Yichen did not know where he had been hit by the hooligans. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper and he was in a terrible state.
"I'm fine."
"I'll take you to the hospital."
Xu Yichen finally fainted in relief when he saw Huo Nanchen.
Gu Ruochu reached out to support him but Huo Nanchen grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace. His voice was cold and firm as he stared at her with a threatening gaze.
"You can't even care of yourself and you still have the mood to care for another man. Do you think I'm dead?"
"Xu Yichen is injured. We must get him to the hospital immediately." Gu Ruochu frowned as she felt the heaving of his chest and the strength of his arms.
"Huo Nanchen, human life is more important. We'll talk about it when we get back!"
"He won't die anytime soon." Huo Nanchen glanced at Xu Yichen as he spoke in an indifferent tone. He then made a phone call. "Where are you? Come over now and take care of a few people."
"Huo, we don't know anything. We were only forced..." A mournful voice rang out from the side. The sound of his knees kneeling on the ground was particularly ear-piercing.
Huo Nanchen did not bother to look at them. He only said coldly, "If you dare to touch my woman, I'll let you know what hell is."
His tone was as cold as ice. The muscular men were so frightened that their legs were as soft as jelly. They knew that they were done for.
Death would be a light punishment.
Huo Nanchen skillfully held Gu Ruochu in his arms. He opened the car door and let her sit in the passenger seat. He then got Xu Yichen into the car.
He started the car and drove off furiously.
In the parking lot, some well-built men dressed in black arrived and apprehended the men that had harassed Gu Ruochu and Xu Yichen.
Huo Nanchen's car arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
Soon, some paramedics came over and carried Xu Yichen into the hospital. Huo Nanchen followed behind them unhurriedly. He was his usual dignified and elegant self.
However, he fixed his gaze on Gu Ruochu the entire time.
She did not know if he was observing her or probing her.
Gu Ruochu sensed his mood and decided not to run after Xu Yichen's stretcher. She had a premonition that he would have strangled her to death if she ran after him.
"Didn't you almost cry when you saw that Xu Yichen was injured? Why are you acting so reserved now?" He laughed icily.
Gu Ruochu could not help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Had she been in such a bad mood that she had almost cried?
"Which eye did you see it with?"
"I saw it with both eyes."
