Chapter 178 Attacked and Pursued on the Road!

Mr. Liu knew what Young Master Yang was capable of.

It's not that Young Master Yang is particularly capable; at most, he's just a spoiled brat.

But his uncle was a high-ranking national figure.

Even though that big shot never showed up in Xinghan City and never offered any help to Yang Shao and his son, this kinship alone was enough for the two of them to have a protective shield.

Otherwise, given what Liu's men did today, how could they have been released so quickly?

Even when Su Qiang pulled out a prohibited weapon, some people gave Yang Shao face and suppressed it to avoid implicating Yang Shao.

Thud—

Young Master Yang took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and began smoking recklessly in President Liu's hospital room.

He exhaled a smoke ring, glanced sideways at President Liu's injured arm, and suddenly chuckled.

Startled by the sudden laughter, Mr. Liu shrank back. "Young Master Yang... I... I'll figure out how to handle this myself. Don't bother me."

"That won't do. It's good that your hand is crippled." Young Master Yang grinned dangerously.

Mr. Liu was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

Young Master Yang shook his head and said:

"Even in the underworld, there has to be a legitimate reason for your actions. The reason I couldn't personally deal with Master Wu before was because I couldn't find a suitable excuse, so I let that blockhead named Su Qiang cause trouble."

“Things are different now. My man is crippled in Master Wu’s shop. I can do whatever I want to him without it being too much. I can also use this to establish my authority and prevent a bunch of old fogies who used to follow my dad from disobeying me. I can also let everyone in Xinghan City see what happens when you offend me.”

"My dad just gets more and more timid as he gets older. Otherwise, with my uncle's reputation, he could have taken over Xinghan City long ago and wouldn't be stuck in this limbo."

"You didn't see how the station chief was bowing and scraping to me when I went to bail you out, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this long speech, General Manager Liu quickly began to flatter him.

"Young Master Yang is truly bold! In the future, this Xinghan City will surely be completely trampled under your feet!"

"Young Master Yang is awesome! Young Master Yang is so powerful!"

Young Master Yang knew that Boss Liu was just flattering him, but he felt good listening to it, so he made a solemn promise that he would make Master Wu and that woman die a horrible death.

Mr. Liu quickly said, "Young Master Yang, well... considering I've contributed a hand for you, could you leave that woman to me?"

"You old pervert!" Young Master Yang laughed and cursed, "Fine, I'll give you a half-dead body."

"Thank you, Young Master Yang! Thank you, Young Master Yang!" Mr. Liu was so excited that his wound seemed to have stopped hurting.

At this moment, someone came in and reported the situation to Young Master Yang.

"Young Master, Wu Sanye just walked out of the police station, and our men arrested him right away. He's already locked up somewhere."

Young Master Yang nodded, "Alright, let him suffer a little first."

The subordinate continued to report, saying that by investigating road surveillance footage, they had located the young woman surnamed Ning; she was driving towards the suburbs.

"Very good!" Young Master Yang's eyes gleamed with excitement as he stubbed out his cigarette. "Let's go! I want to see if that little girl, no matter how good she is at fighting, can stop my car!"

Mr. Liu said with concern, "Young Master Yang, you must be careful. That woman is really powerful... I suspect she knows martial arts, the kind you see in martial arts novels!"

Yang Shao almost burst out laughing, "Why the hell don't you just say she has special abilities?"

"That's at least some kind of hard qigong," Mr. Liu racked his brains to persuade him, "Anyway, she's very powerful! Young Master Yang, if you have to deal with her yourself, I have to consider your safety!"

Seeing Mr. Liu's worried and anxious expression, Young Master Yang no longer took it lightly as before. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Just in case, I'll bring my shotgun. I don't believe that something that can take down a bear with one shot can't deal with her."

Yang Shao then left the hospital.

On the other side.

Master Wu was led to a room by a group of thugs.

He had just finished giving his statement at the police station last night when someone suddenly put a sack over his head and dragged him into a car.

So they didn't know where they were, and the windows were closed and blocked, so they couldn't see what was happening outside.

When the sack was pulled off, Su Qiang's smug smile appeared before us.

"Why did you come out?!"

Master Wu was greatly surprised.

Even though they had reported the incident to the police, Su Qiang and his gang were still taken to the station.

Putting aside others, Su Qiang actually pulled out a gun!

Even a homemade pistol is a genuine contraband!

How did they get released like that?

They even came out earlier than me, otherwise how could they have been staking out the police station to arrest people beforehand!

Su Qiang punched Wu Sanye in the stomach, saying, "You've messed with me, you've kicked a hornet's nest!"

Wu Sanye was hit in the liver area, and he clutched his stomach in pain. His face turned pale instantly. He endured the excruciating pain and was about to fight Su Qiang.

As a result, four men pounced on him from behind and forced him to kneel on the ground.

Su Qiang squatted down, patted Wu Sanye's face, and sneered, "I really thought I was doomed this time, but I didn't expect Young Master Yang to have such extraordinary abilities that even the police station staff have to greet him with smiles."

"Young Master Yang?" Third Master Wu grinned. "Which Young Master Yang?"

“You don’t even know Young Master Yang? It seems you’ve really been out of the underworld for too long,” Su Qiang grabbed Wu Sanye’s hair. “These days, who in Xinghan City doesn’t know Young Master Yang? And he’s different from you old-timers who used to be involved in the underworld. He has connections.”

“Surname Yang…he has connections…” Wu Sanye’s mind raced, and he glared, “So it’s him! His father is Yang Lao Er, right? Yang Lao Er’s older brother is a national bigwig, isn’t he?”

"Hey, you do know something after all!"

“I knew Young Master Yang’s father before, and we had a pretty good relationship. Young Master Yang and I have also had dinner twice. Su Qiang, you give me—”

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking, Su Qiang slapped him across the face.

Wu Sanye's glasses were knocked off.

"Still trying to curry favor?" Su Qiang cursed. "Young Master Yang's father has been retired for a long time. Even if you had a good relationship, that was in the past! So what if Young Master Yang has had dinner with you twice? Are you that close? Let me tell you, my boss, General Manager Liu, is Young Master Yang's right-hand man, but Ning Jinli crippled him. We'll settle that score with you slowly!"

Before Master Wu could say anything more, Su Qiang grabbed a wooden stick from the side and began to beat Master Wu severely.

...

Ning Jinli was driving on the road to a villa area in the suburbs, following the address provided by Lao Yang.

Old Yang had someone check last night. It turns out that his brother handed over all his business to his son many years ago and has been living in a suburban villa to retire, rarely going out.

So you can go directly there without worrying about anyone not being home.

As they got closer to their destination, Lao Yang became increasingly nervous, his rough hands constantly stroking the gift box.

“Miss Xiao Ning, what do you think…” Old Yang looked at the scenery rushing past the car window and said nervously, “Do you think he will kick me out if I show up in front of him without contacting him beforehand?”

Ning Jinli didn't know what would happen then, so she could only comfort her with, "No, you'll be brothers no matter what."

"Sigh..." Old Yang sighed, "I hope that after so many years, he can understand my difficulties."

Old Yang looks exactly like a middle-aged man filled with guilt towards his family.

A mixture of tension, helplessness, and dejection crossed his face.

"At the intersection on the right ahead, please slow down," the navigation system announced.

There were no other vehicles on the road at the moment, and it was quite quiet, but Ning Jinli still slowed down. After all, there were lush and tall trees on both sides of the road, and if it weren't for the fact that she could see the road section on the navigation map, she would not have noticed that there was an intersection ahead.

However, just as Ning Jinli drove through the intersection...

A modified Hummer SUV suddenly charged out like a beast!

With a loud bang, it crashed hard into the right side of Ning Jinli's car!

Fortunately, she was also driving an SUV; otherwise, the right side of the vehicle would have been crushed and deformed at the moment of the collision, killing Lao Yang on the spot!

In a flash, Ning Jinli quickly adjusted the accelerator and steering wheel, doing her best to keep the car stable.

However, the opponent came at a fierce speed.

Ning Jinli's Mercedes-Benz G-Class was eventually pushed off the road, and after crashing through the guardrail, the front of the car got stuck between two large trees.

"Old Yang! How are you?!" Ning Jinli shouted.

The front and right side windows were completely shattered, and Old Yang was bruised.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing seat belts, otherwise they would have been thrown out of the car.

Old Yang clutched the gift he had brought for his younger brother tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, "My right leg... seems to be stuck..."

Ning Jinli hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to check.

It turned out that the right-side door and the front of the car had been deformed and twisted to some extent. Old Yang tried to pull his right leg out, but he couldn't.

"let me!"

Ning Jinli circulated her internal energy and placed her palm against the deformed car door.

Suddenly, the roar of engines filled the air.

That black Hummer crashed into us again!

boom!

This time, the heavy, modified bumper of the Hummer SUV completely dented the right side of Ning Jinli's car.

Subsequently, two other types of off-road vehicles arrived on either side of the off-road vehicle.

Several burly bodyguards got out of the car.

Young Master Yang also got out of the Hummer, lit a cigarette, and waved to his bodyguard to check it out.

"Young Master! There's no one in the car!" the bodyguard shouted.

"Nobody's here?!" Young Master Yang exclaimed in surprise. He quickly moved closer and peered over, his hands gripping the right side of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

That's when I noticed that the driver's side door was open.

"There!" a bodyguard pointed forward.

Yang Shao looked up, squinted, and spotted two figures running into the woods on the left side of the road.

"You're really quite capable," Yang Shao exclaimed. "You managed to get out of the car just in time when I hit you for the second time. Interesting."

"You guys, flank them from both sides, I'm about to begin the hunt."

At his command, several bodyguards rushed into the woods.

He calmly returned to the Hummer, took out a shotgun, and skillfully loaded it with bullets.

Ning Jinli narrowly escaped the fatal blow with Lao Yang, but Lao Yang's right leg was injured, and due to his age, he could not run much faster than he could walk.

The two realized that someone wanted them dead.

But right now, there's no time to analyze who the other person is.

Ning Jinli circulated her inner energy and carried Old Yang on her back, catching a glimpse of figures flanking from both sides out of the corner of her eye.

She originally planned to open a portal to another dimension and take Old Yang away directly.

However, opening new time portals and establishing connections with other time portals will take some time.

It's clearly too late right now.

At the very least, we need to avoid being chased by those people and find a place to hide temporarily.

Ning Jinli was completely unfamiliar with this area, and once inside the woods, she was like a headless fly, so she could only quicken her pace and continue running forward.

With the support of powerful internal energy, shaking off those who were surrounding him was not difficult.

Soon, she could no longer see those people.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Ning," Old Yang said apologetically, "I've dragged you into this."

Ning Jinli said, "How could you have implicated me?"

Old Yang's expression was grave. "They came here to kill us. They're so ruthless. They couldn't possibly be targeting a young girl like you, could they? It's more likely they're after me. Looks like my whereabouts have been exposed."

Ning Jinli knew that a country leader of his caliber would indeed be targeted by many hostile elements.

But surely they wouldn't be so blatant?

Driving a modified car and crashing into someone in broad daylight?

“Old Yang, we don’t know what’s going on yet,” Ning Jinli put him down and said in a low voice, “Wait a few minutes, I’ll move you away first, and then I’ll arrest them and interrogate them properly.”

Old Yang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ning Jinli focused her attention and began to circulate the Heavenly Profound Heart Technique.

Bang!

Suddenly, deafening gunfire erupted.

A large patch of weeds and dirt flew up at Ning Jinli's feet, and a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.

She had no choice but to interrupt the opening of the portal and hurriedly protect Old Yang.

Splash—

A flock of birds took flight at the sound of gunfire.

Yang Shao, holding a shotgun, also appeared in Ning Jinli's field of vision at this moment.

"Who are you?"

Ning Jinli stared at the other person warily.

Yang Shao sneered and cocked the gun with a click. "I'm here to take your life. I didn't expect that after a car accident, you didn't even have a scratch. You're pretty tough. But unfortunately, I know this area too well. I could catch you with my eyes closed."

Ning Jinli and Lao Yang both looked surprised.

So, they weren't after Old Yang after all?

"Have I offended you?" Ning Jinli frowned. "Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to kill me? You even used a shotgun."

The two sides were only a few meters apart.

The other party was holding a state-of-the-art foreign shotgun, which was highly lethal and had a wide coverage area.

Within this range, there's no need to painstakingly aim; it's easy to riddle Ning Jinli with bullets.

Even Old Yang behind her was not spared.
