Chapter 663: Hero, Save the Girl

You Nianchu shuddered all over, the fear in her eyes instantly replaced by shock.

She strained to struggle backward, her voice full of incredulous panic:

"You… how do you know my identity?"

She had merely hailed a random taxi, never revealing her family background…

This perverted driver… how could he know she was from the You family?

Hearing her question, the driver let out a piercing, hysterical laugh…

That laugh, especially eerie in the desolate outskirts, mixed with the wind of the rainy night, adding a touch of strangeness and cruelty.

The driver slowly straightened up, one hand still gripping You Nianchu's wrist tightly, the other hand slowly lifting, fingertips hooking the mask on her face.

The driver jerked it down hard—the mask was completely ripped off.

A face covered in scars, ferocious and terrifying, was instantly exposed before You Nianchu's eyes.

The hatred and madness in the driver's eyes almost seemed to devour her.

You Nianchu stared at that familiar yet strange face, her mind going blank, her blood seemingly freezing again, even her struggle stopping instinctively.

You Nianchu muttered under her breath, her voice filled with utter shock:

"Is it you?! President of the Black Water Society… Zheng Heilong?!"

She never imagined that her kidnapper… was actually her father's arch-enemy, the man her father had utterly crushed, rumored to have fled Hangcheng long ago—Zheng Heilong!

Upon hearing that name, Zheng Heilong's eyes grew even more suffused with malice.

The driver Zheng Heilong lunged forward, seizing You Nianchu's chin in a grip so strong it nearly crushed her jaw.

Zheng Heilong's voice… was full of gritted-teeth hatred:

"That's right, it's me! You Nianchu, your father You Kaixuan's Chi Dao Group back then swallowed my Black Water Society, killed my brothers, ruined my family and destroyed the sect, casting me from the clouds into the mire—I've held this grudge for five full years!"

Zheng Heilong's voice was hoarse and icy, each word seeming to be squeezed from between his teeth, brimming with boundless resentment:

"I've been hiding in the shadows, enduring humiliation, these past years I've lurked in every corner of Hangcheng, day and night seeking the You family's whereabouts, just waiting for a chance—a chance to retaliate against You Kaixuan!"

You Nianchu's chin ached from his grip, fear and panic intertwining in her heart.

She desperately twisted her chin, trying to break free of his hold.

You Nianchu's voice trembled slightly, yet she forced herself to stay calm as she retorted: "Your grudge with my father is between you two—if you have the ability, go find him, don't bother me! This has nothing to do with me!"

Speaking, she took advantage of Zheng Heilong's momentary distraction, instinctively stepping back to create distance.

But a sharp pain shot from You Nianchu's calf wound, causing her to stagger after just one step and collapse heavily onto the ground.

Blood from her wound welled up again, staining the earth beneath her red.

Zheng Heilong watched her sorry attempt to flee, the corner of his mouth curling into a cruel, mad grin.

Zheng Heilong slowly stepped forward, looking down at her from above.

Zheng Heilong's eyes… were full of mockery and the pleasure of revenge:

"Nothing to do with me? You Kaixuan ruined my family, scattered my kin—how could his daughter remain unscathed, living in luxury?"

"These past years, I've longed day and night for this day, longing to seize you and make You Kaixuan also taste losing everything, feeling the agony of wishing for death!"

Zheng Heilong's voice grew ever more unhinged as he leaned in, bringing his mouth to You Nianchu's ear…

Zheng Heilong spoke in a bone‑chilling tone, word by word: "You Nianchu, tonight I will make you pay the price!"

A flicker of greed and evil flashed in his eyes, the smile on his lips growing more ferocious:

"I will make you bear my child, Zheng Heilong's child, hahaha! I will make your father You Kaixuan watch, as he cradles his precious daughter in his palms, see her defiled by his most hated enemy, behold his grandchild carrying my Zheng Heilong's blood! I will make him wish he were dead, never to find peace!"

…

Meanwhile, late at night, Shidai Gongyu.

Lin Yuan was tidying up at home, getting ready to bathe and sleep.

He had just stepped into the bathroom when the phone left in the living room suddenly buzzed urgently.

Lin Yuan froze, then picked up his phone to look.

On the screen flashed the three characters "You Nianchu"…

Immediately, a distress message popped up, brief but filled with utter panic: 【Save me!】

Only two short words!

Lin Yuan's heart sank instantly, gripping tight; without a second thought he rushed out of the bathroom and grabbed his phone.

Next, WeChat popped up another message—a location sent by You Nianchu, the address shown on a desolate road on the outskirts…

Exactly a remote place far from the city, rarely visited.

Oh no!,

Lin Yuan's face changed drastically—he knew something had happened to You Nianchu!

Lin Yuan hurriedly called You Nianchu, but the call wouldn't go through.

The voice prompt indicated, You Nianchu's phone had already been turned off!

Lin Yuan's inner unease instantly peaked!

He dared not delay, grabbing his jacket and rushing out the door, not even having time to put on his shoes, he shoved the door shut behind him and hurried downstairs…

Lin Yuan sprinted all the way, soon reaching the parking lot.

He flung open the car door, slammed the ignition, tires screeching against the pavement…

The car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, racing toward the location You Nianchu had sent.

…

The rainy night road was especially slick, visibility blurred, Lin Yuan gripped the wheel tightly, foot on the accelerator, speed astonishing.

The scenery outside flew backward, only the engine's roar and the patter of rain filling his ears.

His mind repeatedly conjured You Nianchu's panicked face…

Lin Yuan's mind at this moment held only one thought: hurry up, hurry up even more, I must reach You Nianchu before something happens to her, I must save her!

……

You Nianchu's calf wound was still bleeding, her whole body drenched by the rain, she looked miserable.

Zheng Heilong's face bore a ferocious, twisted grin, his eyes full of madness and greed.

He strode forward, grabbed You Nianchu who was trying to escape, his grip so strong…… it almost crushed her arm.

You Nianchu struggled desperately, her shrill cries drowned by the rain, yet she could not move him even a bit.

Zheng Heilong sneered, grabbed You Nianchu's coat collar with one hand, and tore it hard!

A "ripping" sound.

You Nianchu's coat…… was torn open in an instant.

The cold wind, laden with rain, struck her body, making her shiver all over, and despair instantly spread through her heart.

Zheng Heilong's hand continued downward, reaching for You Nianchu's undergarments……

The greed in his eyes grew ever more intense, it was clear he was about to succeed.

He wanted to thoroughly enjoy this delicate, pampered young lady of wealth.

At that critical moment, a blinding white light shot from the depths of the rainy night, accompanied by a piercing screech of tires!

A white Tesla sedan, like an arrow released from a bow, slammed hard into Zheng Heilong.

"Bang——!!"

A tremendous boom echoed through the rainy night, the immense impact…… hurled Zheng Heilong flying away!

Zheng Heilong's body…… traced a long arc in the air, then crashed heavily into the mud dozens of meters away……

The moment Zheng Heilong hit the ground, a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

The blood stained the rainwater and mud beneath him, his body twitched a few times, then fell still for a moment.

The Tesla's door was flung open, and Lin Yuan rushed out into the pouring rain.

Lin Yuan was instantly soaked by the rain, he quickly stepped to You Nianchu's side and gently helped her up.

Lin Yuan saw You Nianchu's torn coat, his expression grew grave.

Fortunately, I arrived just in time, not a step late.

Otherwise, if I had been just a few minutes later, You Nianchu would likely have been defiled……

Lin Yuan felt a wave of lingering fear.

If You Nianchu really came to harm, the consequences would be unbearable to imagine.

Hangcheng's underground martial world is about to be turned upside down.

Lin Yuan quickly took off his own coat and gently wrapped it around You Nianchu.

He held her tightly, shielding her from the cold wind and rain.

You Nianchu's tense nerves snapped completely; seeing the familiar figure before her, she could no longer hold back, she flung herself into Lin Yuan's arms and burst into loud sobs……

In You Nianchu's sobs…… lay resentment, fear, and the joy of having survived the ordeal.

Her tears mixed with the rain, soaking Lin Yuan's collar.

Lin Yuan gently embraced her back, his movements tender,

Lin Yuan, while gently patting her back, with a hoarse voice…… repeatedly soothed: "It's okay, it's okay, Nianchu, I'm here."

At that moment, in the mud not far away.

The previously motionless Zheng Heilong suddenly braced himself on the ground, using all his remaining strength, and crawled up ferociously.

Zheng Heilong's mouth corner bore fresh blood, his face as pale as paper, yet his eyes remained filled with cruelty and madness.

Zheng Heilong was like a beast driven to desperation.

Zheng Heilong slowly raised his hand, drew the black handgun from his waist, the muzzle trembling yet aimed precisely at Lin Yuan, who was holding You Nianchu.

"Go die!" Zheng Heilong snarled, pulling the trigger without hesitation!

"Bang! Pow pow!!"

The gunshot shattered the rainy night's silence, the bullet, accompanied by a fierce whine, shot swiftly toward Lin Yuan's chest!

The bullet's speed left no time to react.

You Nianchu froze in terror, her sobs cut off instantly, her eyes filled with extreme fear; she instinctively clung tightly to Lin Yuan, even forgetting to breathe.

At that critical moment, Lin Yuan's eyes turned sharp, he showed no panic, and snapped his wrist over!

Lin Yuan's fingertips held several pre-prepared silver needles%……

Relying on years of practiced precision, he shot the silver needles forward.

The silver needles, like bolts of silver lightning, struck the oncoming bullet with unerring accuracy!

A few clear "ding" sounds……%

The bullet was violently intercepted by the silver needles, deviating from its original trajectory and slamming hard into the mud beside them, kicking up a spray of murky water.

Seeing this, Zheng Heilong's eyes filled with disbelief.

He obviously hadn't expected…… this man actually possessed such skill?

But Zheng Heilong's madness did not subside there,.

Instead, Zheng Heilong was thoroughly enraged.

Zheng Heilong let out a roar, ignoring the intense pain in his body, and lunged at Lin Yuan!

Zheng Heilong was clearly trained in martial arts, his movements extremely fast!

He was like a ferocious beast, rushing at Lin Yuan at breakneck speed!

Zheng Heilong's ferocious force, carrying a mutual-destruction ruthlessness, instantly knocked Lin Yuan and You Nianchu together into the cold mud.

Lin Yuan instinctively shielded You Nianchu beneath him, his back slamming hard into the muddy ground, splattering mud all over him.

Lin Yuan, however, dared not lose focus at all.

Zheng Heilong pressed down on Lin Yuan, gripping his arm tightly with one hand while raising his pistol with the other, the muzzle hard against Lin Yuan's forehead!

Zheng Heilong's eyes were feral; he snarled as he prepared to pull the trigger.

Lin Yuan reacted instantly, seizing the moment Zheng Heilong strained, he twisted his waist and abdomen hard, rolling himself and You Nianchu to the side, just barely dodging the shot.

With a bang, the bullet hit the ground, leaving a small crater as mud and water sprayed outward.

Zheng Heilong lunged at nothing, watching Lin Yuan nimbly dodge; the surprise in his eyes instantly turned into blazing anger and resentment.

Zheng Heilong struggled to his feet, his gun still trained on Lin Yuan!

"You damned meddler, wanting to stick your nose in? Go to hell!" Zheng Heilong snarled, repeatedly pulling the trigger!

Countless bullets flew at Lin Yuan!!

Each time the bullets came, Lin Yuan deftly avoided them while shielding You Nianchu.

Bullets hit the ground and roadside tree trunks one after another, producing a series of dull thuds.

Despite several shots, Zheng Heilong couldn't hit Lin Yuan, and he descended into utter madness.

Zheng Heilong looked at You Nianchu, tightly shielded behind Lin Yuan, and a flash of ruthless calculation crossed his eyes——

Since he couldn't kill Lin Yuan, he would kill You Nianchu instead!

You Nianchu is You Kaixuan's precious daughter; killing her would truly avenge the Chi Dao Group and make You Kaixuan suffer unbearably!

Thinking this, Zheng Heilong's eyes hardened; he abruptly swung his gun toward You Nianchu, locking onto her.

Zheng Heilong's lips curled into a feral, twisted grin as he frantically pulled the trigger and howled:

"You Nianchu, die! I'll kill you and make You Kaixuan taste the agony of losing everything! Let the Chi Dao Group go down with me!"

Gunshots rang out in succession, bullets flying at You Nianchu at high speed!!

Bullets filled the air, slicing through the rainy night—two of them sped straight for You Nianchu's chest and abdomen!

Lin Yuan hesitated not; he could not let You Nianchu be hurt. He shoved her hard aside, sending her to a nearby safe spot……

Lin Yuan himself, however, stood firm in the bullets' path.

He had no time left to dodge.

"Pfft——pfft——!"

Two muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously as the two bullets struck Lin Yuan's abdomen with deadly precision.

The impact shook his entire body.

Lin Yuan's body staggered back a few steps, slamming hard against a roadside tree trunk before he could barely keep his balance.

Lin Yuan looked down at his abdomen; blood burst through his clothes, pouring out to soak his shirt and the muddy ground beneath him.

Warm blood continued to flow from his abdomen, bringing a searing pain that turned Lin Yuan's face ashen in an instant……

"No——!" a heart‑rending scream tore through the rainy night.

You Nianchu staggered to her feet, but the sight of Lin Yuan's abdominal wound sent her into utter collapse.

Blood soaked Lin Yuan's shirt, dripping from the hem and spreading a wide, glaring red stain across the muddy road,

，

that streak of red was like a dagger, viciously stabbing into You Nianchu's heart, leaving her unable to breathe from the pain.

She forgot all fear, heedless of the howling wind and rain and any danger, she lunged at Lin Yuan, tears mixing with rain as she repeatedly cried out:

"Laoshi Lin! Laoshi Lin, how are you?! I'll get you to the hospital right away!"

"Stay back! Get out of the way!" Lin Yuan, seeing this, his pupils narrowed, he summoned his last strength and shouted at You Nianchu:
