Fortunately, Li Hong had made some preparations in advance. He grabbed the stun gun placed at the back, rushed out of the car, and engaged in a fight with those men.
The driver was scared out of his wits. He got out of the car and ran back in a panic.
There were three men in total. Li Hong, armed with the stun gun, managed to hold off two of them, while the other one walked straight towards Yan Xia.
Whether it was because he was suddenly filled with tenderness at the sight of her stunningly beautiful face or for some other reason, the burly man just held a wooden stick in his hand and reached out towards Yan Xia, saying,
"Miss Lu, I don't want to use force on you. Just come with us obediently."
Yan Xia gave him a gentle smile and got out of the car obediently. But when the man warily pointed the wooden stick at her and slowly backed away, Yan Xia moved to the door. The moment he relaxed his guard, she suddenly rushed forward at full speed, snatched the wooden stick from him, and before he could even react, struck him hard on the head with it.
The man probably never expected that Yan Xia would be able to fight back. An ordinary girl would probably have been scared to tears in such a situation.
The blow was extremely forceful, and the man immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.
Li Hong was outnumbered. He was bleeding and had his stun gun taken away. He was beaten to the ground.
One of the thugs stepped on his back, while the other came to assist the man who had been hit with the stick.
The man took out a knife and twirled it around his hand showily. Then he immediately rushed towards Yan Xia!
She dodged to the side and tried to hit him with the wooden stick in her hand, but the man was also very nimble and managed to avoid it.
Sweat beaded on Yan Xia's forehead. She had actually predicted this. They were so eager to take action and had even managed to find out her schedule so clearly. It seemed that Peng Shiyi had really put in a lot of effort.
All her fighting skills were taught by a teacher hired by Lu Qianzhou. Before she met him, she had always been a well - behaved girl who had never even cursed. It was because she knew that she would need self - defense skills in the future that she had obediently learned Taekwondo and fighting.
"Miss Lu, we don't want to hurt you either. Stop resisting and come with us obediently, or else the knife in my hand won't show mercy." The thug with the knife said.
Probably realizing that Lu Sheng was quite capable, the thug kept circling in front of her.
Yan Xia seemed to kindly remind him, "I'll also advise you in advance. Stop this immediately and tell me who instructed you to do this, or you'll regret it."
She was very calm, showing no sign of panic at all, which made the thugs hesitate.
"Manager Lu, be careful!" Li Hong, who was being stepped on the ground and bleeding, still remembered to remind her.
Yan Xia said, "You're really bad at fighting."
Just then, the man who had been knocked out by her woke up groggily. Seeing a wooden stick not far from his hand, he was extremely embarrassed that he had been knocked out by a woman.
What was even more infuriating was that this woman was actually threatening them. She was really courting death!
He glared at Yan Xia's back with a murderous look in his eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed the wooden stick and rushed towards her with a lunge.
He cursed, "Damn it, stop showing off!"
Li Hong shouted, "Manager Lu, watch out behind you!"
Yan Xia was completely unprepared. She was hit on the back by the man's wooden stick. Her body lurched forward, and she felt a salty taste in her throat. It was as if all her internal organs had suddenly shifted.
With a thud, she fell to the ground.
Before the men could even breathe a sigh of relief, a car suddenly rushed towards them at full speed from behind.
The driver seemed completely unafraid of trouble and directly rammed into the thug with the knife, sending him flying.
The car door opened, and Wen Liang rushed out with several well - trained bodyguards. The bodyguards managed to subdue the two thugs within a few moves, leaving them with no room for resistance.
Wen Liang helped Yan Xia up.
"Miss Lu, I'm sorry. I'm late. Are you okay?"
Yan Xia glanced at him. She felt a surge of blood in her chest, as if she was about to vomit blood.
"Although it was just my guess, I really didn't expect it to happen so soon." She patted the dust off her hands. "Didn't I ask Li Hong to inform you to be on standby and follow us at noon? Why did you only come now?"
Wen Liang said, "There were some things that delayed me on Mr. Lu's side."
No matter what, in his opinion, Lu Qianzhou's matters were always more important.
Yan Xia didn't want to argue with him. She turned around and looked at the two thugs who were forced to kneel on the ground. The one who had been rammed had already lost consciousness. She didn't know if he would survive.
She laughed, "Peng Shiyi instructed you, right? Sending people of your level to deal with me. Who are you looking down on?"
Even though she had just been hit by a wooden stick and her clothes were covered in dust, looking a bit disheveled, her aura was still undiminished.
Yan Xia said, "How much did Peng Shiyi pay you? I'll pay you double. As long as you tell me everything you know and testify in front of the police."
The two thugs were very stubborn. They lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Don't want to talk? Do you want to end up like him?"
Yan Xia pointed at the thug lying in a pool of blood and asked sharply.
The thug on the ground snorted, as if in disdain.
People in their line of work had their own rules. If they easily revealed their backer, they wouldn't be able to make a living in the underworld in the future.
"Attempted murder. Hand them over to the police." Yan Xia commanded Wen Liang. "You handle this. Whether it's through torture or coercion, I want to hear them say the name of the mastermind with my own ears."
After saying that, she turned around and got into the car.
Wen Liang instructed the bodyguards to put the thugs in the car and told them to drive the thugs to the police station.
He and Yan Xia got into the car in front and went to the hospital first to treat her wounds.
Yan Xia had been enduring the discomfort in her body. The blow from the wooden stick had been very heavy, and she had been having trouble breathing.
"Miss Lu, you don't look well." Wen Liang glanced at her.
"Don't worry about it. It's not a big problem."
During the long car ride, Yan Xia felt drowsy all the time, but the pain in her chest prevented her from falling into a deep sleep.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Seeing that her condition was really bad, Wen Liang simply carried her into the hospital. However, his posture was rather strange. He stretched his arms out long and kept a distance from her, as if he was carrying some precious porcelain.
The examination result showed a slight internal hemorrhage. She would be fine after a few days of rest.
Yan Xia rested in the hospital for an afternoon. Fang Jiangyi heard that she had been attacked and came to the hospital specifically to visit her.
Yan Xia was sitting on the bedside. She had just finished being questioned by the police.
When she saw Fang Jiangyi coming, a bit of vitality returned to her stunning face, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly. "Such a small matter has actually alarmed President Fang."
She looked really pale and weak, but she still insisted on being tough.
Fang Jiangyi frowned. He felt a pang of pity welling up inside him. "How's the situation? Has the mastermind been caught?"
Yan Xia said, "I'm in good condition. Those people are still being interrogated."
Fang Jiangyi said, "Miss Lu really likes to be tough."
Yan Xia showed no sign of timidity. She smiled and said, "It was a life - and - death situation. After Li Hong was beaten to the ground, I was the one fighting those two men alone."
"Amazing." Fang Jiangyi laughed unusually. "I've seen Miss Lu's fighting skills a long time ago."
