Chapter 1650 - 1471: If I Were a Woman, I Might Really Fall for You
One of them naturally gasped, while the other hurriedly took out a phone from his pocket, turned on the camera, and focused on Yao Shuilan’s open collar.
"Hey, in a public place, you need to have at least some moral standards." At this moment, you spoke up.
"Hey, kid, minding other people’s business?"
The man beside Yao Shuilan suddenly stood up, making such a large motion that it naturally woke Yao Shuilan. Yao Shuilan just opened her eyes to find four youths with dyed hair surrounding the man in front of her, who happened to be her new neighbor.
"Click!"
As Yao Shuilan just reacted, she noticed someone behind her with a phone taking pictures of her collar. She quickly covered her collar with her hand, but it was too late as the photos had already been taken.
As Yao Shuilan was feeling annoyed, a large hand suddenly reached through the crowd, swiftly snatching the phone from the young man taking photos and quickly deleting the pictures and videos. Then you tossed the phone back to the young man and said to the four in front of you, "Do you want me to teach you how to behave, or will you take care of it yourselves?"
The four youths exchanged glances, not yet reacting, when the young man with the deleted photos shouted, "Damn, I worked hard to take nude photos of Little Hong! Fuck you!"
The "mom" sound just came out as "fuck" when the "ah" syllable hadn’t been uttered, and the young man’s mouth was covered by you. At this moment, the young man suddenly saw a pair of eyes flashing with a terrifying, trembling fierceness.
You suddenly changed from your usual laziness, spreading five fingers like a spider, transitioning from covering to grasping, and then changed the grasp to pinching, pinching the young man’s face almost out of shape.
The intense pain and mental fear made the young man immediately feel a warm sensation in his crotch, with a strong smell of urine starting to spread out.
"How dare you bully our brother!"
The remaining four youths spoke up one after another, with the one closest to you first throwing a punch at your head. Unexpectedly, you neither dodged nor evaded, letting the young man’s fist hit your head, then slowly turned your head, reached out to pinch the young man’s right arm near the armpit area, seemingly lightly pinched, then the young man suddenly jumped up, holding his arm, and let out a scream similar to a pig being slaughtered.
As the young man screamed, he continued rolling on the ground, his whole face turning red from excessive congestion.
Only at this moment did the other youths realize they encountered a skilled fighter. The remaining three hurriedly pulled their two brothers back to the door, shouting loudly to the bus driver, "Open the door, we want to get off!"
The bus driver didn’t want trouble either and quickly stopped the bus by the roadside, opening the door to let the five youths off.
You sat back in your seat under the amazed gazes of everyone and opened the window, letting the cold wind blow in from outside, slightly dissipating the stench inside the bus.
Yao Shuilan straightened her clothes, holding her briefcase, and said to you, "Mr. Li, thank you."
You turned your head to look at Yao Shuilan and smiled, "Just a small effort, besides, we’re neighbors; it’s only right to help each other."
Yao Shuilan nodded, and you said no more. Shortly after, the bus stopped at the platform, and you and Yao Shuilan stood up at the same time, getting off the bus one after the other.
"Miss Yao, do you usually take this bus?"
Yao Shuilan nodded, "Yes, there are fewer people on this bus."
You nodded, "That’s about what I thought, but I still have to transfer to another bus."
Yao Shuilan noticed you carrying a brand-new briefcase, and the end of the briefcase had a logo on it. With her sharp eyes, Yao Shuilan immediately recognized it as the Haitian Investment Group’s emblem and said to you, "I didn’t expect Mr. Li to be an elite of the Haitian Investment Group."
You shook the briefcase with a smile, saying, "Elite? I’m just trying to make a living."
At this moment, another bus stopped. Yao Shuilan glanced at it and said to you, "I’ll go first; you take care."
You took a look and realized it wasn’t the bus route to take you home, and couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t that the wrong bus?"
Yao Shuilan smiled, with a hint of bitterness on her pretty face, "I still have to work a night shift at a restaurant tonight, see you."
Seeing Yao Shuilan dragging her weary body onto the bus, you couldn’t help but sigh slightly.
In this vast Yuhang City, there is no shortage of people like Yao Shuilan who work hard, especially women. Born without a privileged family environment, they can only rely on their own hands and frail bodies to work and strive for survival. Even if they are covered in scars and utterly exhausted, they have to grit their teeth and persist because they cannot afford to relax. Once they let their guard down, they might be deprived of their means of survival in this city.
You didn’t immediately go home but instead found a small eatery nearby, ordered three dishes, and started eating on your own.
As soon as the dishes were served, you barely took a few bites when another figure sat down beside you.
"Again dining alone, I say, Brother Nine, shouldn’t you consider finding a lifelong companion?"
Tianhu seemed to be everywhere, and as soon as he sat down, he casually picked up chopsticks and finished off the plate of cabbages you ordered.
Afterward, he even took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth, "Even though it’s a bit greasy, winter cabbages are delicious, not only pesticide-free but also tender."
You looked at Tianhu and said flatly, "Did you put a tracker on me? How can I run into you wherever I go?"
"Listen to what you’re saying. You’ve had the most professional anti-tracking training; there are not many in this world who can track you."
"Then how did you find me?" you looked at Tianhu.
Tianhu smirked and motioned you to look outside, where you could see Liao Yong waving at you from inside a Dongfeng van.
"We switched cars and have been waiting here for you since four in the afternoon."
You helplessly shook your head, saying, "Looks like I still got outsmarted by you."
Tianhu looked at you seriously, "Captain, it’s not outsmarting; it’s understanding. Because I understand your personality and your way of doing things, I’m very familiar with everything about you."
Hearing this, you couldn’t help but shiver, laughing, "You say that in a way that’s kind of creepy, making it sound like you’re into me."
Tianhu naturally replied, "If I were a woman, I might really fall in love with you."
"No! Please don’t!" you quickly reacted, "No matter if it’s a woman or a man, it’s not happening!"
Tianhu was amused by your reaction, winking playfully with a touch of flirtation, and said, "Why not?"
