Chapter 444: Hijacked
Wu Haipeng was anxious to find Dangdang to explain, so he naturally missed his father Wu, who came to his workplace, completely unaware.
Father Wu had always been confident in his son, but when he saw that the address his son mentioned was an abandoned place, his anger flared up instantly.
Father Wu immediately thought to find Beihuai’s cousin’s father.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a good job arranged after retirement?
What was happening here?
Setting aside how Father Wu went to settle accounts with his cousin’s father, let’s talk about how Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi turned around and left, only to be stopped before they had walked a single block.
Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi turned to look.
Unrecognizable!
Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi exchanged a glance.
"Your friend?"
"Your friend?"
Both shook their heads in unison.
Confirmed, they indeed didn’t recognize the person.
They linked arms, maintaining a polite smile toward the person who had greeted them.
"Tang Chuxia?"
The person looked from the photo he held to Tang Chuxia, his gaze filled with certainty.
Tang Chuxia didn’t respond but instead asked, "Who are you?"
The man glanced at Gu Nanzhi. "Are you Gu Nanzhi?"
Gu Nanzhi already furrowed his brow.
The stranger’s impolite demeanor, especially the uneasy feeling he gave off, was disturbing.
"Shouldn’t you introduce yourself before asking who others are?"
Gu Nanzhi’s retort made the stranger laugh.
The weather had warmed up, everyone had switched to lighter spring clothing, but the man in front wore a trench coat and an octagonal cap, with exaggerated toad sunglasses perched on his nose.
His attire was somewhat similar to that of some flashy detectives in Old America.
Most notably, the stranger was also wearing a pair of leather gloves.
Tang Chuxia checked the temperature, confirming that it indeed wasn’t suitable for wearing gloves, yet the man did so anyway.
"I’m an old friend of Beihuai!"
The man’s snickering look was particularly irritating.
Tang Chuxia pulled Gu Nanzhi behind her.
She was well aware of Gu Nanzhi’s fighting capacity; usually boasting noisily, but absolutely lacking when it came to real combat.
"We don’t know Beihuai!"
Tang Chuxia continued to maintain a forced smile as she watched the stranger.
The man sighed, spitting out something he chewed; it was dark and glistening. Combined with the man’s clearly yellowed teeth, Tang Chuxia was confident he had spit out betel nut.
Don’t ask why.
It’s just that she had seen many such people before.
Tang Chuxia gripped Gu Nanzhi’s arm, intending to keep walking, but noticed there were surprisingly few pedestrians around.
This indicated that the man had intentionally stopped them in a less-crowded place.
"Really not very ladylike, I really hate being deceived!"
The man flexed his wrist and tilted his head, looking at Tang Chuxia: "I’ve heard you fight well, so tell me, is your move quicker, or my bullet?"
Tang Chuxia realized the man had come prepared and specifically for her.
"Alright, I am Tang Chuxia, since you’re looking for me, let go of the person not involved!"
Tang Chuxia pointed at Gu Nanzhi.
The person laughed even more exaggeratedly, but there was no sound.
"Miss Tang, don’t joke like that, it’s not funny at all!"
Tang Chuxia didn’t know if someone was secretly watching; she didn’t dare to take any risks.
Gu Nanzhi shook her head at Tang Chuxia, she didn’t feel comfortable with Tang Chuxia following the stranger.
But Tang Chuxia knew she couldn’t compromise, for they knew of her strength and would definitely target her, most effectively with drugs.
She had something within her that could detoxify any poison; she wasn’t scared, but it was a different story for Gu Nanzhi.
Any potent drug often has side effects.
This was truly a test of mental strength.
Tang Chuxia also laughed, "Since you know what’s special about me, you should also know that anyone special doesn’t just have one territory; state your goals, otherwise, I wouldn’t mind paying the price to see you ruined as well!"
Gu Nanzhi was stunned, and if she hadn’t reacted quickly enough, she might have given herself away.
The person was stunned too; their information was incomplete, but it was all a gamble.
Testing each other was inevitable.
"Take us to Gu Beihuai!"
When the terms were presented, Tang Chuxia naturally counter-offered, "What’s in it for me?"
The man was genuinely shocked by how calm Tang Chuxia could be.
"Save your life?"
Tang Chuxia was speechless. As the man approached her, she said to Gu Nanzhi, "Sorry about this!"
Gu Nanzhi couldn’t react in time, and by the time she realized what was happening, she had already been thrown out.
Gu Nanzhi watched herself smash into a firewood stack in a courtyard, truly wanting to hit Tang Chuxia. Couldn’t she have given a warning before acting? She needed to mentally prepare too!
Unfortunately, Tang Chuxia was oblivious to Gu Nanzhi’s thoughts.
As she threw Gu Nanzhi out, she charged at the man, and as he reflexively drew his weapon to pull the trigger, Tang Chuxia’s long leg was already wrapping around the man’s neck.
The man only managed to swear once before Tang Chuxia punched him in the shoulder.
With her knowledge of all the human body’s pressure points, Tang Chuxia instantly rendered the man’s arm useless, dislocating his shoulder.
Before the people in hiding could arrive, Tang Chuxia had already disarmed the man, breaking both his arms. While a broken arm could still function with pain, a dislocated arm could not be controlled by the brain.
So Tang Chuxia used the man as a shield, smiling at the five emerging figures, "Nobody move, or else it’s your own man who dies, and the gunshots will attract others over here too!"
Tang Chuxia, holding the man’s neck, slightly exerted force, making it impossible for him to turn his head.
Why would anyone provoke an orthopedic doctor?
Their daily routine involves maneuvering all kinds of bones. Angering them might just lead to your bones being dislocated.
The man managed to shout at his comrades, "M..."
Before he could finish, Tang Chuxia forcefully dislocated his jaw.
"I told you not to move, but you just had to be the most troublesome," Tang Chuxia exclaimed.
Tang Chuxia’s decisive actions deterred the five men from moving.
"We mean no harm, we really came to discuss matters with Gu Beihuai!"
The shortest one among the five stepped forward, trying to communicate with Tang Chuxia.
Tang Chuxia shook her head, "If you’re looking for Gu Beihuai, go find him. What do you want with me?"
The man being used as a shield struggled with his tongue, but couldn’t make a sound.
Tang Chuxia slapped his collarbone, rendering him completely speechless.
This genuinely scared the five men.
"Miss Tang, we’re not lying to you!"
The short man spoke again, but all he got in return was Tang Chuxia kicking the shield’s leg at the knee, causing it to go numb.
