Chapter 150: A Surprising Counterattack

Baka led the way the whole time; this time it was the way down the mountain.

When they returned to Medicine Street, the tension that had been building in Du Ruoxia's mind suddenly snapped.

"Oh no! The shopkeeper is in danger!"

Before Zhao Jiajun could react, Du Ruoxia had already taken a big step forward.

Her deduction proved to be correct, because Baka was running in the direction that led directly to Xia Zuming's pharmacy.

Du Ruoxia's pupils contracted; she hadn't expected that her opponent would circle around and then launch a surprise attack.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party is deliberately wasting time.

Because the medicine street is bustling with people in the morning, most of them go to eat lunch at noon.

Du Ruoxia looked around and saw that there were far fewer people on the entire medicine street.

The reason he didn't wait until night to make his move was probably because he couldn't wait any longer.

Otherwise, it would be best to strike when everyone is asleep at night.

Du Ruoxia felt a chill run down her spine as she considered all the possibilities.

Baka ran very fast, and Du Ruoxia soon arrived in front of the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was closed even though it was broad daylight, and Xia Zuming did exactly as he was told.

The room was quiet, without making a sound.

Baka's frantic screams kept reminding her.

Du Ruoxia gave Zhao Jiajun a look.

He immediately stepped forward and banged on the door.

However, he knocked for a long time but there was still no response from inside the house, which was abnormal.

Baka changed direction and led them to the side of the house.

This place is somewhat secluded and rarely visited. The wall is not high, and you can climb over it without much effort.

Du Ruoxia pressed her ear to the wall and, sure enough, heard a clanging sound coming from the courtyard, along with someone shouting frantically.

Seeing that things were not going well, Du Ruoxia rolled up her sleeves and was about to climb the wall when Zhao Jiajun squatted down without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law, this wall is too high. Why don't you step on my shoulders to get in?"

"No need, thank you for your kindness, but I think you're underestimating me by talking like that."

Du Ruoxia rarely wears skirts, and it's even less likely to happen in this cold weather.

She was wearing a military overcoat and military cotton trousers, which were thick and warm, and didn't get in the way when she moved around.

She first picked up Baka from the ground and placed him on top of the wall.

Then, she braced herself against the wall with both hands, and with a sudden push of her feet, she lifted half of her body up in an instant.

She exerted herself again and successfully sat down on the wall.

Zhao Jiajun was taken aback, then his face lit up with delight.

His movements were identical to Du Ruoxia's; he also nimbly climbed in, bracing himself against the wall.

Du Ruoxia let go of her hands, and her whole body fell downwards.

Before Zhao Jiajun could even see her movements, Du Ruoxia had already landed steadily on the ground.

She jumped so fast that she didn't even make a sound.

Baka stood on the wall, hesitant, while Du Ruoxia stretched out her hands.

With a smile on its face, Baka jumped down and landed steadily in Du Ruoxia's arms.

Zhao Jiajun braced himself against the wall with one hand and nimbly jumped down.

The two people and the dog entered the inner courtyard quietly.

Du Ruoxia quietly breathed a sigh of relief as Baka jumped down from her arms.

It wagged its little tail and strode forward. They had arrived here, and the noise from before was even louder.

They didn't need Baka to lead the way at all; they could easily find the place by following the sound.

They went through a door and saw a man covered in blood, holding a knife, frantically stabbing it into the door.

He pounded on the door while shouting, "Open the door! Open the door right now!"

"Open the door now and I might spare your life; if you don't, I'll kill you too!"

"Li Deming, you bastard! I've worked under you for so many years, and you actually promoted others but not me!"

"If you dare take me out with you this time, I'll kill you! You've left me with no way to live, so I'll take your dog's life!"

The man screamed madly, and Du Ruoxia gradually understood what had happened from his fragmented words.

The man who was stabbed was named Li Deming, and he was the madman's boss.

This madman, because he didn't get promoted, recklessly took other people's lives.

Even from a distance, Du Ruoxia could see that the man looked deranged and was in a very abnormal mental state.

Normally, no one would go crazy over such a small thing.

Li Deming knew perfectly well that this person had problems, yet he still kept him around, which was simply asking for trouble.

Hopefully, this painful blow will make him realize that some people are ungrateful and don't deserve our sympathy.

Du Ruoxia tiptoed forward, and Zhao Jiajun took out the knife he had tucked into his waistband for self-defense.

He could also tell that something was wrong with the man. These kinds of madmen were the most troublesome to deal with; if you weren't careful, you might lose your life.

Zhao Jiajun knew the danger, but he refused to back down.

He had a faint smile on his face, a mixture of fear and excitement.

Du Ruoxia reached into her pocket and silently pulled out liquid anesthetic.

For a doctor like her, using anesthesia is still the simpler and more direct method.

Her knife was for healing, not for killing.

Moreover, she knew her own physical strength and abilities, and that she would definitely not fare well if she went head-to-head with someone.

Baka also realized the urgency of the situation; as a spatial spirit pet, it had never known what fear was.

In this situation, it was even more excited than the other two.

Baka's small body trembled slightly, and it slowed its pace.

However, he continued to charge ahead, with a very simple goal: to seize the opportunity and deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.

The two people and the dog got closer and closer, and the noise the man was making grew louder and louder.

The wooden door in the yard was teetering on the verge of collapse, and then he kicked it open with a sudden thud.

"Hahaha, let's see how long you can hide!"

The man shouted excitedly and rushed inside like a madman.

Xia Zuming stood at the door, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, his expression cold and aloof.

He was terrified at first and had already risked his life.

But when he saw Du Ruoxia and Zhao Jiajun, who had returned, standing right behind that person, he couldn't help but smile.

"You're about to die and you're still grinning like an idiot. Since you like laughing so much, go laugh with Yama in hell!"

The man raised his knife high and lunged at him.

Du Ruoxia didn't expect this person to act so quickly and ruthlessly. Her pupils contracted. Just then, Baka, who had always been inconspicuous, suddenly jumped from the ground.

Its small body has an amazing jumping ability. If Du Ruoxia hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Baka had such explosive power.

Baka landed precisely on the back of the man's head, then turned around and pinned his face down.

It barked fiercely and bit the man's nose.

The man closed his eyes, and the knife in his hand was already slashing towards Xia Zuming.

Xia Zuming was terrified and backed away. As he retreated, he accidentally stepped on some debris on the ground and fell to the ground with a thud.

The man's knife slashed across Xia Zuming's head; his movements were so fast that several strands of Xia Zuming's hair were cut off.

He had used all his strength in that strike; a sharp pain shot through the man's nose, and the knife fell to the ground with a thud.

If Xia Zuming hadn't already rolled to the side, he might have been accidentally cut.

It all happened so fast that even after he was completely out of danger, Xia Zuming was still shaken.
