Lin Luoluo hadn't even had time to react when she saw a shadow flash by, and Zhou Yu had actually leaped from the back seat to the front, simultaneously wrapping his arms around her.
Instinctively, Lin Luoluo wanted to dodge.
Bang!
A massive collision echoed, and Lin Luoluo felt her mind go blank. In that instant, it was as if her soul had been shaken out of her body.
However, she quickly felt a gentle flow of air envelop her. It was a very comfortable sensation, like being swaddled in a baby's blanket.
When Lin Luoluo barely recovered, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Her BMW had collided head-on with two Range Rovers. The front of her car was crushed, and the windshield was shattered.
Just then, three more Range Rovers came speeding in, pulling up next to her car. Following that, nearly twenty burly men jumped out, their presence ominous as they surrounded her.
In a daze, Lin Luoluo heard the sinister laugh of one of the men.
"Miss Lin, today, you won't be able to run. Come with us obediently. Master Xue wants to see you."
Master Xue?
Fear flashed in Lin Luoluo's eyes.
That was a top boss of Yancheng's underworld.
Falling into the hands of such a person, she dared not imagine what her fate would be.
Lin Luoluo's face was stricken with fear as she tried to escape.
But at this moment, her head was spinning, her body weak; there was no strength left to run.
As the men closed in, Lin Luoluo's complexion turned pale with fright, gripping the seat belt tightly as if it were her last lifeline.
However, just then, a figure appeared in front of her.
Lin Luoluo tried hard to open her eyes wide and finally saw who it was.
Zhou Yu?
Lin Luoluo had never expected that at this critical juncture, Zhou Yu, whom she had always looked down upon, would actually stand in front of her.
At that moment, a warm current surged in Lin Luoluo's heart.
Although the man was inexperienced, he had a rare sense of responsibility and wasn't so bad after all.
However, just then, Lin Luoluo saw Zhou Yu oddly wave his hand at the group of burly men.
The next moment.
Zhou Yu turned his head and sprinted towards the empty side, disappearing around the corner in an instant.
Lin Luoluo was dumbfounded.
Zhou Yu had actually abandoned her and run away?
Lin Luoluo's face showed utter despair, tinged with self-mockery.
She laughed at herself for naively thinking that this boy would risk his life to save her.
She closed her eyes, giving up resistance.
However, after a long wait, those men somehow didn't take any action.
Instead, the sound of police sirens quickly approached from afar.
Lin Luoluo opened her eyes and saw the twenty men who had surrounded her car standing frozen in place like idiots.
The police officers jumped out of their vehicles and effortlessly detained them all.
The men didn't offer any resistance throughout the whole process.
Confusion filled Lin Luoluo's heart.
What in the world was going on?
At that moment, one of the police officers came over.
"Hello, miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Considering there has been a serious traffic accident here, and suspects appear to have intentionally caused chaos, please come with us to the station to assist in the investigation."
"Okay."
Lin Luoluo regained her composure.
Before leaving, she glanced in the direction Zhou Yu had fled, her eyes filled with disappointment and indifference.
...
Meanwhile, at another location.
About a hundred meters away from the site of Lin Luoluo's car accident, at a street corner, a business-class Mercedes was parked. A man leaned against the hood, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his eyes shimmering with a cold glint.
"Lin Luoluo, today, you shall not escape, even if you had wings."
This person was Black Dog.
Because of Zhao Heng, Black Dog didn't dare to provoke Li De'an, so he ambushed on the only route Lin Luoluo took on her way home, intending to kidnap her by force.
However, at that moment.
"Is that so?"
A calm voice sounded beside Black Dog.
Black Dog's face turned to shock, and he whipped his head around to look.
"You... aren't you the construction worker from yesterday?"
The person was indeed Zhou Yu.
After rescuing Lin Luoluo, Zhou Yu prepared to get out of the car to deal with the group of burly men surrounding them. But just then, he keenly sensed an abnormal gaze from a distance.
He traced the gaze and spotted a black dog at a street corner a hundred meters away.
Wasn't this the businessman from the Mercedes yesterday?
Having identified the mastermind, Zhou Yu lost interest in the men before him.
After effortlessly sealing their acupoints, Zhou Yu went straight for the black dog.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, so quickly that no one had time to react.
Zhou Yu looked at the black dog in front of him and said indifferently,
"Who are you? Why are you targeting Lin Luoluo?"
A vicious glint flashed across the black dog's eyes.
"So yesterday was not a coincidence. Kid, you dare mess up my plans again and again..."
His hand moved like lightning toward his lower back, pulling out a Nepalese kukri.
"Die."
The black dog swung the blade horizontally, aiming straight for Zhou Yu's throat.
Zhou Yu, however, reached out directly, grabbing for the blade.
A cruel smile flashed in the black dog's eyes.
His specially made kukri could easily cut through bone, if not slice steel like mud.
The construction worker was actually trying to grab it with his hand; he was truly seeking death.
He seemed to have already visualized the scene of Zhou Yu's fingers being neatly severed.
However!
Clang!
A sound akin to metal striking metal reverberated.
Zhou Yu had effortlessly caught the kukri, as if it were clamped in a pair of pliers.
"You??"
The black dog was stunned.
He looked at Zhou Yu incredulously.
Zhou Yu's face remained expressionless as he held the blade with one hand, his fingers applying slight pressure. The kukri snapped in two.
The black dog's complexion changed drastically.
"You are a martial artist!!"
He had been involved in the underworld for years and was not unfamiliar with martial artists.
He was very clear about his own abilities; facing a martial artist, there was only one path for him: death.
Therefore, without hesitation, the black dog turned and fled in panic.
Watching the black dog's fleeing figure, Zhou Yu smiled faintly and followed at an unhurried pace.
The black dog ran in terror, even taking a taxi along the way, arriving an hour later at a resort village on the eastern outskirts of Yancheng.
Green Water Garden Resort Village.
This was one of the largest resort villages in Yancheng and a top entertainment venue, but also, it was Xue Sanqiang's stronghold.
At that moment, Xue Sanqiang was pacing back and forth in a hall.
Two burly men stood by his side.
One was called A-Long, the other A-Hu.
They were Xue Sanqiang's most trusted confidants.
With the deadline set by Manager Huang of Zongsheng Group fast approaching and no news from the black dog, Xue Sanqiang had an extremely dark expression on his face.
"A-Long, A-Hu, it seems something went wrong with black dog. Go check it out immediately, and by any means necessary, bring Lin Luoluo back to me."
"Yes, boss."
The two nodded in unison and were about to head out.
Just then, a series of urgent knocks on the door sounded. A-Hu walked over and opened it, only to see the black dog rush in, disheveled.
"Black dog?"
Xue Sanqiang was taken aback and then shouted angrily.
"Where the hell have you been eating shit? Where is the person I asked for?"
The black dog said in panic,
"Boss, that construction worker from yesterday, he's actually a martial artist. Today, he appeared again, he must be someone the Lin Family specifically arranged to protect Lin Luoluo..."
"A martial artist?"
Xue Sanqiang was startled.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
"It seems that this black dog belongs to you?"
