Chapter 515: Can I Back Out?
“Sister Yutong, our people have arrived from Pearl City.”
“Good!”
Yu Xin had just finished her phone call when she shouted toward Liu Hao: “Hey! You green-haired good Samaritan over there! Thanks! I’ll treat you to dinner later!”
She hadn’t recognized Liu Hutong at first.
Of course, that was also because she’d never dealt with him directly.
Liu Hao was frantically dodging attacks from two blond thugs when he heard this shout. He stumbled and almost tripped himself, cursing inwardly: “Who cares about your dinner treat? I’m here to repay a debt!”
Although the Heaven’s Eye Gang’s green-haired members fought without any real technique, they made up for it with a fearless, death-defying recklessness. Plus, they had the numbers, which indeed tied up most of Brother Qi’s men.
However, as another group of thugs who had originally been chasing Liu Hao joined the fray, Liu Hao’s side began to lose ground. Several green-haired underlings were knocked to the ground, howling in pain.
Liu Hao himself took a few hits, grimacing in pain, and began to feel some regret.
Damn it, where are Liu Yutong’s reinforcements?
Could it really just be those few women here today?
He suddenly felt a sense of being treated differently.
When Liu Yutong used to deal with him and those bigshots in Pearl City, which time didn’t she bring a large entourage?
This time she actually didn’t bring her people?
This doesn’t make sense!
Actually, it really wasn’t his fault for overthinking. Under normal circumstances, with Liu Yutong’s own skills plus Lan Die, it would be enough to handle emergencies.
The earlier incident with Hawk’s group proved this point.
She was used to going out with only Yun Cheng, except this time Yun Cheng was replaced by Lan Die.
Liu Hao didn’t know Lan Die, but he knew of Yun Cheng, which was why he instinctively thought the other side’s reinforcements would appear soon.
Unfortunately, this time he bet wrong.
“Damn it! Am I really going to get myself killed here?”
“This Liu Yutong is really a jinx!”
He’d forgotten that these people had originally come chasing after them—he was the one who’d dragged Liu Yutong and her group into this.
Liu Yutong and her group were the real victims here.
Brother Qi saw the situation turning in their favor again, a cold smile of control returning to his face. He pulled out another cigarette and flicked his lighter.
Click!
Just as the flame flickered up…
Woo… woo… woo…
The sound of a police siren suddenly rang out, reaching everyone’s ears.
“The cops are here!”
Someone shouted.
All three groups in the melee immediately stopped fighting.
In Dragon Country, there wasn’t a single person in the underworld who wouldn’t feel fear hearing that sound.
Brother Qi’s face instantly turned extremely ugly. They’d dragged this out too long.
Finally, he could only reluctantly throw away the unlit cigarette and immediately ordered: “Retreat!”
His underlings quickly helped up their injured companions and followed Brother Qi, hastily retreating in the opposite direction of the siren.
In the blink of an eye, the open space that had been filled with shouts and fighting just moments ago was left with only Liu Yutong’s group of four women, as well as Liu Hao and his green-haired underlings.
Liu Hao watched Brother Qi and his group run off, then looked at the police officers who had just gotten out of their cars and were running over. He didn’t have time to settle scores with Liu Yutong.
“The cops are here! Brothers, let’s scram!”
Before leaving, he couldn’t help but turn back and shout at Liu Yutong: “Liu Yutong, you remember this—today I repaid the debt, let’s never meet again!”
After saying that, he led his group of injured underlings, limping, into another alley and disappeared.
Liu Yutong watched them run off but didn’t try to stop them.
She was just wondering—when had she ever helped this guy?
The only thing she could think of was that time in Wushui County when she’d sent him to jail.
If that counted as a favor, then she wouldn’t mind doing him a few more favors.
At this moment, several police officers had already run over.
Liu Yutong briefly explained the situation to the police, then they took a police car to the hospital.
This time, among the four of them, aside from Lan Die’s more serious leg injury, the others weren’t seriously hurt.
After Su Mansu arrived at the hospital and finished her examination, she gradually began to relax.
Today’s scene had really scared her.
She hadn’t even officially started her job yet, and she’d already been in two fights with two groups of people.
Moments later.
When Liu Yutong walked out of the ward, Su Mansu couldn’t help but ask: “Boss, does our company usually require… um, this kind of professional competence like Sister Lan Die when discussing business?”
Liu Yutong: “That depends on you, but our company does place considerable emphasis on developing employees’ all-around comprehensive abilities.”
Su Mansu fell silent.
Comprehensive abilities? Comprehensive fighting abilities?
The kind where you just start fighting if negotiations break down?
She looked at Liu Yutong’s beautiful yet heroic face, muttering to herself.
The boss’s fighting skills were abnormally good—what normal boss has skills like this? She seriously suspected whether the boss had so many enemies that she’d trained like this.
Liu Yutong seemed to have guessed her thoughts: “If you don’t want to learn, that’s fine. It’s not mandatory.”
“Also, don’t overthink it. Today was purely bad luck, a coincidence.”
“I’ve already found out that the second group of people weren’t gung for us at first.”
She now understood that those people had originally been chasing Liu Hao and his group—they’d just gotten caught in the crossfire.
And that Liu Hao actually had the nerve to say he was repaying her favor.
If Liu Hao hadn’t helped them just then, she would have suspected he’d teamed up with those people to ambush them.
Yu Xin was also comforting Su Mansu—after all, this was Su Mansu’s first time experiencing such a street brawl scene. Even with the best composure, one would be scared.
“Mansu, you really don’t need to be afraid. That group of people will absolutely never bother us again.”
Su Mansu was skeptical: “Are you telling the truth?”
She was still feeling shaken.
After all, that was real fighting, not some movie about gangsters.
“Of course it’s true, why would we lie to you?”
Yu Xin looked at Su Mansu with sincerity, guaranteeing: “Our company is absolutely a legitimate company. Today’s incident was purely accidental, like getting hit by bird poop while walking down the street—the probability is actually very low.”
Su Mansu, seeing Yu Xin’s earnest appearance, felt her doubts lessen somewhat.
Maybe it really was just her bad luck, encountering an extremely low-probability event?
If that were the case, then perhaps she could try working for a while.
Honestly, if Liu Yutong and the others hadn’t been protecting her throughout the melee, she would have already spoken up to quit.
It was really too scary.
Yu Xin: “Mansu, from now on you just focus on being a good assistant to Sister Yutong. If any more blind fools come looking for trouble, our company’s professional brothers… um… colleagues will handle it.”
Su Mansu fell silent.
She was about to say something when she heard heavy footsteps at the end of the hospital corridor.
She instinctively looked up, and the next second, she froze.
At the other end of the corridor, two rows of young men in uniform black suits walked over, at least twenty or thirty of them, looking particularly gangster-like.
The scattered pedestrians and medical staff in the corridor instinctively pressed themselves against the walls, not daring to breathe.
This group of black-clothed men had a clear target. They walked to about three steps in front of Liu Yutong and uniformly stopped.
The leader was a stern-faced man with a straight posture.
“Young Miss, we brothers have arrived late, causing you to be frightened.”
The dozens of black-clothed youths behind him simultaneously bowed: “Young Miss!”
This formation, this momentum—where did it look like ordinary company employees coming to pick up their boss?
Su Mansu slowly turned her head to look at Liu Yutong beside her, whose face was calm as if she were already accustomed to such a grand display.
This is what you call bad luck?
This is what you call a legitimate company?
This clearly had the style of a triad boss’s daughter!
Su Mansu secretly said to Yu Xin beside her: “Can I back out?”
“What?” Yu Xin didn’t hear clearly.
Su Mansu: “Nothing, nothing.”
…
PS: Something bad happened, I suddenly realized the plot went off-track. According to the original plan, this conflict wasn’t supposed to be written at this point… Sigh, every time I take cold medicine my brain gets foggy. Let me think this through first.
