Chapter 202: The Plot Succeeds
"Damn, kid, you’d better get lost, or you’ll be in for it later." one of the red-haired boys shouted at Hao Shuai, who was standing nearby.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Hao Shuai kicked him away and pulled Tang Jingjing to his side.
"Miss, are you okay? Take this opportunity to hurry back to the company!" Hao Shuai said to Tang Jingjing cautiously.
Tang Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then took a quick glance at Hao Shuai, realizing that not only was this person handsome, but also willing to risk his life to save her. Lately, she had been thinking about finding a man to rely on, and at this moment, with Hao Shuai appearing, she felt she found the right person.
However, just as she was thinking about this, two of the people from that group stepped forward and punched. Hao Shuai didn’t back down, swiftly dodging and then leaping up, kicking both of them in the chin.
This was already light; he couldn’t seem too forceful, otherwise, it wouldn’t achieve the desired effect. Hao Shuai was a deeply strategic person, never allowing others to discern even the slightest bit of inconsistency.
Whether they were pretending or not, after those two fell to the ground, they covered their mouths and didn’t dare to approach again. At that moment, another of the three remaining members suddenly pulled out a switchblade and stabbed towards Hao Shuai.
Tang Jingjing was shocked. Even a knife? These people were truly violent. She initially thought they just wanted to tease her, but it turned out they were a gang of thugs, causing her heart to tremble with fear.
"Watch out!"
At this moment, Tang Jingjing couldn’t help but shout, clearly worried.
The switchblade narrowly missed Hao Shuai, who didn’t expect that kid to actually go all out. He had previously told him to just scare them a bit; had he gotten too into character?
Thinking about this, Hao Shuai didn’t hold back either since these people were paid and didn’t deliver professionally; he couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless. He grabbed the person’s wrist, squeezed forcefully, and the switchblade fell to the ground.
Then Hao Shuai grabbed the person’s head, yanked it violently, simultaneously lifting his knee, hitting the person right in the chest.
"Ow..."
A scream echoed, and the person almost fainted from the pain.
As a result, seeing this, another of the gang pulled out a dagger and lunged at Hao Shuai, sensing things were changing.
Hao Shuai didn’t expect the situation to escalate to this point, clearly indicating the person was seeking revenge. It was too late now, so he had to reach out to intercept.
The opponent’s dagger was quite sharp; as Hao Shuai grabbed it, he immediately started to bleed.
"What’s going on?"
Suddenly, a shout came from behind, and Tang Jingjing looked over to see it was the company’s head of security.
"Security, come quickly, someone’s causing trouble here." Tang Jingjing hurriedly called out.
Three or four security guards charged over with electric batons, and seeing how the situation changed, those people turned and ran. After all, it was just an act, but they got too into it for a moment.
Hao Shuai felt both frustrated and lucky.
Frustrated because the group overacted, almost costing him his life, but lucky because without such an unexpected situation, the scene might not have been so realistic.
Indeed, as Tang Jingjing approached, she asked with concern, "Sir, are you okay? Oh... your hand is bleeding."
"Hehe, it’s nothing, just a minor injury, as long as you’re okay, Miss." Hao Shuai replied calmly.
Seeing Hao Shuai’s right hand still bleeding, Tang Jingjing hurried back to the office and soon returned with a bandage, helping to wrap it up, while saying, "Thank you, without your help today, the consequences could’ve been unimaginable."
"Ah, these people are really bold, daring to act like this in broad daylight to a girl. Miss, let me take you home." Hao Shuai suggested after thinking for a moment.
"You know who I am?" Tang Jingjing asked cautiously.
"Of course, you may not know me, but I can’t not know you. I’m a member of the Celestial Wolf Gang; today, the boss sent me to the company to handle some affairs, and I happened to run into you."
Hao Shuai replied unhurriedly.
"Ah? Oh... turns out you’re under my father’s command, that’s great..."
Tang Jingjing said excitedly, but then realized it didn’t feel right. What’s so great about it? Would it be bad if he wasn’t under her father’s command?
In reality, Hao Shuai could see right through Tang Jingjing’s thoughts; she was obviously moved by his earlier heroic rescue. Indeed, even though this trick was cliché, it always worked well.
A woman’s first impression is that she likes someone who is brave and willing to protect her at all costs.
And Hao Shuai’s presence made Tang Jingjing, who was budding in terms of feelings, clearly experience romantic feelings for him.
"Miss, wait a moment while I bring the car around."
"But..."
"Hehe, no buts, I know you want to say you have a car, but I plan to drive you tomorrow too. That way, even if they want to retaliate, they won’t be able to do anything to you."
Hao Shuai interrupted Tang Jingjing directly.
Obviously, Hao Shuai’s words made sense; if these people targeted her for no reason, it meant she was being watched early on. Since this plan failed, there would be a next time, and having a man with her would be much safer.
Although her family didn’t lack staff, and finding a capable driver wouldn’t be hard, given her father’s affection for her, she really liked this man before her. Of course, she wouldn’t be silly enough to miss this opportunity for them to be together.
"Oh, okay then."
Tang Jingjing reluctantly agreed, for, after all, she was a girl and needed to be reserved. Although her personality was usually unruly and aloof, under these circumstances, she could appear a bit more gentle.
As the saying goes, women dress up for those who please them, and they can also be gentle for those who please them.
After a short while, Hao Shuai parked the car in front of Tang Jingjing and softly called, "Miss, please get in."
"Mm."
Tang Jingjing nodded, smiled slightly, opened the passenger door, and got in the car.
Hao Shuai started the car slowly and carefully, as if fearing it would bump if the speed was too fast. Seeing Hao Shuai being so considerate, an inexplicable affection surged in Tang Jingjing’s heart.
"Sir, I still don’t know your name?"
Once the car was steady, Tang Jingjing took a deep breath and couldn’t help but ask.
"Hehe, I’m Hao Shuai from South Sea City. I’ve always been your father’s contact person in South Sea City. Now that there’s a situation there, I had to transfer to the headquarters to wait for orders."
Hao Shuai openly introduced himself and shared his background.
However, listening to this, Tang Jingjing didn’t find it tedious; instead, she felt that Hao Shuai was exhibiting trust in her.
Normally, one wouldn’t reveal their personal affairs to someone they just met, but Hao Shuai was clearly unrestrained.
