Chapter 959: Game Over

The few people still standing there in a daze were clearly his subordinates.

Upon hearing this, they immediately responded and turned to look at Cai Xiaotang one after another.

Even the few people who had originally surrounded Gu Han suddenly turned around and walked toward Cai Xiaotang.

Not expecting the situation to suddenly reverse, a flash of panic quickly crossed Gu Han's eyes, and he hurriedly tried to stop them: "What do you want to do..."

"Damn it, it's not your turn to speak anymore!"

The yellow-haired man struggled to stand up from the ground; the joking expression from just a moment ago had long since vanished, replaced by a face full of gloom.

Clearly, being attacked in a "vital area" by a woman and being unable to stand up in a pathetic state in front of his own subordinates had dealt a massive blow to his self-esteem.

He spat on the ground in a foul mood, looked at Gu Han, his eyes filled with disdain.

"This isn't what you agreed on with us. We thought you brought a docile and sensible girl, and that we'd just play along and scare her a bit. Who would have thought you'd bring a piece of work like this? Fuck, are you here to wreck the place?"

As the yellow-haired man spoke, he casually picked up a wooden club from the wall and raised an eyebrow at Gu Han.

"Don't you want to play the hero saving the beauty? Acting is so boring, I'll give you a chance!"

Gu Han paused upon hearing this, his eyes looking hesitantly at the club in the man's hand, which was almost as thick as a man's forearm, and he said nothing.

Cai Xiaotang, standing to the side, also understood instantly and suddenly realized what was happening.

"Are these people someone you found?"

She looked at Gu Han in disbelief, the phrase "you can't judge a book by its cover" suddenly surfacing in her mind, and everything seemed to click into place.

This kid looked so sunny and innocent, yet he had such deep schemes?

No wonder he had been so proactive in suggesting they come here to shop.

So it had all been arranged in advance, with the intention of playing some "hero saving the beauty" game?

Wait...

If she hadn't almost been hit by a motorcycle at the beginning, the two of them wouldn't have gone out together and ended up here.

Perhaps even that motorcycle was...

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, almost laughing in anger.

Then she heard the yellow-haired man in front of her continue to speak to her.

"Yeah, we were hired by him with money. But you know what? I don't want the money anymore. Aren't you pretty tough? Let's see if a woman like you can take on the six of us, or if we should let him truly experience... what the hell 'hero saving the beauty' really means!"

As the yellow-haired man spoke, he had already raised the wooden club high and swung it fiercely in the direction of Cai Xiaotang!

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously wanted to dodge, but her arms were suddenly grabbed by the people on both sides!

Her expression tightened as she realized with shock that the other party's strength was astonishingly great, and there was no way to break free easily; it was clearly completely different from when they were just "scaring" her earlier.

This time, they were playing for real!

Nearby, Gu Han also seemed to be intimidated by the other party's momentum, actually standing still where he was!

The sound of the wooden club slicing through the air was right in front of her.

Cai Xiaotang's breathing stopped for an instant.

Just at this moment—

A loud "Clang!!!"

A battered iron bucket suddenly flew straight toward the yellow-haired man, hitting his wrist directly and knocking the wooden club in his hand off course!

"Ah!!!"

He let out a miserable shriek, his arm jerking upward, which caught the bucket that hadn't yet fallen, and with a spin, it landed squarely on his head!!!

"Damn it!"

The yellow-haired man instantly lost his vision, unable to see anything, and feeling top-heavy, he sat down on the ground again in a pathetic heap, waving his arms.

"Brother Hui!!!"

Seeing this, the others no longer cared about Cai Xiaotang and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, their faces full of an expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Cai Xiaotang was also stunned by the scene before her.

Seeing the other man pathetically remove the bucket from his head, covered in dirty debris, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

Immediately after—

"Pfft."

She laughed out loud, showing no respect at all.

Then she heard the yellow-haired man roar: "Which fucking idiot ambushed me! If you've got the guts, come out!"

As soon as the words fell—

"With a mouth that dirty, do you want to get hit again?"

A man's voice suddenly rang out from the corner of the alley.

Hearing the familiar tone, the smile on Cai Xiaotang's face instantly froze, her eyes widening as she looked toward the source of the voice in disbelief.

This voice is...

Is...

How is that possible!

How could he possibly have tracked her down?

Cai Xiaotang stared fixedly at that corner, and the next second—

A figure that couldn't be more familiar turned out from the corner.

It was actually Li Xiao!

Cai Xiaotang's heart suddenly gave a violent thud.

Li Xiao...

How did he come here?

How did he find her?

Cai Xiaotang simply doubted whether she was dreaming; she couldn't say a single word, only able to watch him approach step by step.

His gaze was not directed at her.

Instead, it was tightly locked onto the few delinquent youths.

Yet his footsteps remained unhurried, approaching step by step.

The speed of every step could not be considered fast.

Yet it brought with it sufficient pressure.

As if the moment he truly stood still, it would be the "death date" for the people before him.

"You... you..."

That blond-haired youth was clearly sensible; just by meeting Li Xiao's gaze and watching him approach without a word, a sense of foreboding had already surged in his heart.

He then hurriedly steadied himself, his feet retreating continuously, while he spat out harsh words: "I'm in a good mood today! I won't hold it against you! You just wait for me!"

Saying this, without waiting for Li Xiao to reply, he immediately pulled the few people beside him and ran off without looking back!

A trace of disdain flashed in the depths of Li Xiao's eyes, and he did not pursue.

Instead, he stood still in front of Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang was still immersed in shock, looking somewhat dazed.

It was not until she met those deep, black eyes before her.

That she suddenly gasped, hurriedly shifting her gaze away.

There were too many emotions in Li Xiao's eyes—complex, uncomprehending, hurt, questioning—almost crushing her in an instant.

But he did not say a single word, only quietly looking at her.

In the small alley with only three people left, the atmosphere was inexplicably strange.

After a long while—

"Sister Caicai..."

Gu Han suddenly spoke, coming to Cai Xiaotang's side in two steps, and returned to that smiling expression, explaining ingratiatingly.

"I didn't mean to lie to you; I really like you, and I didn't know how else to approach you, so I thought of this stupid method. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Just as his voice fell—

"Heh..."

Li Xiao, who had not spoken the whole time, finally made a sound, letting out a soft hum.

The aura around his body also became frigid in an instant.

Upon hearing this, Gu Han was stunned, almost instinctively sensing "danger," and finally looked at Li Xiao in confusion.

This man... is he someone she knows?

Just as he was thinking this, the next second—

"Mrs. Li, the game of running away from home should be over now, right?"
