In Fang Tong's memory, she had never met Li Lu before. She didn't know why he was so hostile towards her. Either because he has heard the rumors at school, or he has a unique way of hitting on girls. Fang Tong didn't like it either way.
Suddenly, Fang Tong missed Gu Nancheng. Sometimes, it was better to be silent than to say ridiculous things.
As she was thinking, Fang Tong realized that the scenery out the car window was not quite right. This wasn't the way back to the Gu Manor.
Her expression changed slightly. "Driver, are you going the wrong way? I'm going to the Gu Manor."
"No, that road is being repaired today. I'm taking an alternative route, which is shorter."
But Fang Tong remembered clearly that when the driver sent her to school in the morning, there were no road repairs near the Gu Manor.
Usually, the driver would pick her up from school at the end of the day. But because she left school earlier than usual today, she has asked the driver not to run back and forth and said that she would take a taxi home. She didn't expect that this one time would land her in hot soup!
Fang Tong remained calm and quietly looked around the car. When she saw that there was a thermos by her feet, she picked up the thermos without a word and smashed it into the car window.
The loud smashing sound caused the driver to slam on the brakes. Fang Tong took the opportunity to strangle the driver with the thermos and ordered in a deep voice, "Unlock the doors!"
The driver frowned. Fang Tong tightened her grip and continued, "You only wanted money, right? There's no need to risk your life! Besides, if this matter blows up, you'll be the one at a disadvantage. Can the person who hired you protect you?"
The driver hesitated for a moment before he released the central lock. Fang Tong immediately opened the car door and got out.
At this time, the car was parked on a mountain road. There was no one around. The driver followed Fang Tong out of the car. He rubbed his neck and sneered, "There's no one here to save you. I would recommend that you follow me obediently, so you'd suffer less."
Fang Tong narrowed her eyes slightly. "Who sent you? How much did he pay you? I'll double that!"
"I'm sorry, but we have to abide by the rules of the underworld. No matter how much you pay, we can't break the contract. Young lady, I'd advise you not to resist."
The driver snapped his fingers in the air as he finished. In the next second, two burly men jumped out from the bushes by the mountain road.
It looked like this was an organized crime.
"Big brother, so this is the number one socialite in A-City! She is indeed beautiful." One of the burly men stroked his chin and looked at Fang Tong with lecherous eyes. "Brothers, let me taste her for you first."
Fang Tong retreated one step at a time until her back was pressed against the side of the mountain. She looked nervously at the man who closed in on her. "Let me tell you, I am the young madam of the Gu family. If you dare to touch me today, I will make sure that you will not survive in A-City!"
"Wow, the young madam of the Gu family... That will be even more fun!" The burly man ignored Fang Tong's threat, rushed over and pressed Fang Tong against the side of the mountain. He pressed down on her shoulders, immobilizing her.
"With this as leverage, we brothers will not have to worry about food and clothing in future!" The burly man said as he lowered his head to kiss Fang Tong.
"Ah!!"
Fang Tong raised her leg and the man covered his crotch with a pale face. Fang Tong seized the opportunity to kick him in the chest and sent him flying.
His two accomplices did not expect Fang Tong to be a martial artist. They immediately took the crowbars they had packed in the car and waved them as they lunged at Fang Tong.
