Chapter 751 - 749: Ambushed on the Road
"Screech~"
The sound of a sudden brake echoed throughout the quiet little woods.
Chen Tianlong stopped the electric scooter halfway, because a small tree trunk suddenly lay across in front. Although the trunk wasn’t large, crashing into it at this speed would surely cause injury.
At this time, two people in tight black clothing emerged from the front, and shortly thereafter, two more appeared from behind, dressed the same and with black cloth covering their faces.
Seeing this lineup, Chen Tianlong’s lips curved into a slight smile.
"Kid, if you’re smart, get lost. We just want this pretty girl." The speaker was one of Hao Kan’s capable subordinates; he hadn’t spoken before because he spotted a familiar face, Chen Tianlong.
Hearing this from the man in black, Chen Tianlong understood that they intended to commit sexual assault, and it was definitely premeditated. Judging by their ambush location, if he guessed right, they had been lying in wait here for a while.
"Oh, are you guys idiots? This is my girlfriend; would I easily hand her over to you? How about you hand over your girlfriend to me for a try?" Chen Tianlong glared at the two men in black in front and cursed.
"Damn, seems like you’re tired of living, daring to talk to us like that." The one speaking was a Yellow Dao two-star expert.
"Oh... do you expect me to speak nicely when you try to snatch my girlfriend? Did you overdose on brain-dead pills?" Chen Tianlong found it laughable that they spoke without thinking.
At this moment, Hao Kan could no longer stand it; this kid was deliberately stalling.
Thus, Hao Kan strained to signal to him with his eyes. Since they were surrounded from front and back, Chen Tianlong didn’t see Hao Kan’s expression from behind.
At this moment, the Yellow Dao two-star subordinate began to act. Their main target was to capture Shen Yan, and Chen Tianlong’s appearance was accidental, so apart from Hao Kan, the other three didn’t recognize Chen Tianlong and mistook him for an ordinary person.
"Brothers, kill this kid for me." After the Yellow Dao two-star subordinate shouted, his companions also advanced to attack.
Chen Tianlong was somewhat annoyed, wondering who these people were. However, he was certain that they had observed Shen Yan for a long time; otherwise, they couldn’t be so familiar with her movements.
So, Chen Tianlong closed his eyes and used the X-ray ability to see who the culprit was?
Shortly after, Chen Tianlong was stunned, his brows furrowed; since when did Shen Yan connect with Hao Kan, and why was this guy suddenly interested in Shen Yan?
Ah, truly just as a large tree attracts the wind, beauty attracts attention.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong almost confirmed that the mastermind was Hao Kan, but judging from the strength of these few, they were not that impressive.
Hao Kan knew Shen Yan’s strength well; after all, she liked exercising and seemed to have participated in taekwondo.
So Hao Kan found three tall and powerful people to help capture Shen Yan.
At this moment, the four of them moved together, while Shen Yan was a bit flustered since she couldn’t make a move. Seeing her concern, Chen Tianlong softly said to her ear: "Don’t move later, don’t run either, just stay by the scooter—I will deal with these four."
"Hmm."
After hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Shen Yan immediately felt a sense of security, since if Chen Tianlong said so, he must be confident.
After settling Shen Yan, Chen Tianlong walked directly to the middle of the road, intending to lure all four into an open space, to monitor their actions closely. He couldn’t let any of them slip away and snatch Shen Yan; that would be a disaster.
Soon, the four stood in the positions of east, south, west, and north, surrounding Chen Tianlong completely. Shen Yan followed Chen Tianlong’s instructions, standing dully by the scooter to watch, her palms starting to sweat.
"Kid, go to hell; refusing kindness and choosing punishment. You had a chance to escape by leaving your girlfriend, but now you’ve lost both the girl and your freedom, and even risked your own life, hmph hmph."
The Yellow Dao two-star subordinate couldn’t help but show off before making his move.
At this moment, Hao Kan was almost furious, but thinking again, Chen Tianlong certainly couldn’t be left alive. If they managed to capture Shen Yan under his eyes, it would surely expose them.
Thinking of this, Hao Kan was about to speak.
"Hao Kan, stop pretending. Don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you cover your face—I would recognize your sleazy look even if it were burned to ashes."
Chen Tianlong suddenly smirked coldly, speaking to the man standing in the northern position among the four.
"What?"
Hao Kan was about to speak but was caught off guard by Chen Tianlong’s interception. This young man always made him uneasy, and Hao Kan pondered: If Chen Tianlong knew it was him, why wouldn’t he escape and choose to fight them four instead? Isn’t that asking for death?
The only possibility was that he was confident in defeating all four of them.
With this thought, Hao Kan began to panic a little. However, since Chen Tianlong had made it clear, there was no point in continuing to cover his face. He pulled down the mask directly, showing his true face—after all, wearing it was quite uncomfortable, almost suffocating him.
"Haha, Hao Kan, all healed up?" Chen Tianlong remembered how he had crippled Hao Kan before, yet here he was lively again; it seems the Hao Family used a lot of medicinal pills.
"Damn, don’t celebrate too soon, kid." Hao Kan said, revealing a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, and continued: "You’ll get yours soon?"
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong coldly replied, "As a citizen of South Sea City, you dare to physically assault an unarmed female teacher? Aren’t you afraid of legal consequences?"
"Consequences? Haha, in South Sea City, I don’t believe there can be any consequences. Do you even know who I am?" Hao Kan said arrogant and confidently. The truth is that the Hao Family’s network in South Sea City is extensive, easily handling ordinary matters with ease, which is why he became so audacious.
"Oh? Such disregard for the law?" Chen Tianlong was also a bit surprised. He hadn’t thoroughly investigated the Hao Family, but judging by Hao Kan’s speech and actions, their backing wasn’t simple.
"Law? I’m the law. Alright, enough with the chatter; after all, you’re about to die. If I don’t kill you today, my affairs will be exposed, so consider yourself unlucky."
With that, Hao Kan instructed his three subordinates: "Don’t let him escape. After dealing with this kid, go grab her."
"Yes, boss." The three answered in unison and began slowly closing in on Chen Tianlong.
Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong’s thinking was as such: First, ensure Shen Yan’s safety, which required dealing with these three subordinates first.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong started to move; his goal was obvious: finish off these three weaker ones first, then slowly deal with Hao Kan.
"Go for him!"
Hao Kan was shrewd, ordering his subordinates to fight while he stayed back, observing from the sidelines for an opportunity to sneak attack Chen Tianlong.
