Seeing that there was still time, she declined Han Yunqi's invitation to go for coffee. They had spent several days together, and he was still in a state of excitement, so she gave him two days to calm down.

She drove to the university town in D city. During the inspection of the house, she only glanced at it casually. These were high-quality properties she had selected based on her experience in her previous life, so there was no need to worry about quality issues. Therefore, in other people's eyes, she seemed to be a clueless young lady who completely trusted the developer and didn't even carefully check the quality of her own house before readily completing all the procedures.

The staff naturally appreciate such straightforward customers; if every homeowner were like her, they would save so much time and effort from haggling!

With the staff's very enthusiastic service, Tang Xiaoxiao signed a series of procedures for more than a dozen properties in the entire community. Because there were so many, even though she was much faster than others, it was already past 5 p.m. when she started her journey home.

Three hours later, after exiting the highway, it was completely dark. Tang Xiaoxiao was worried that driving at night would cause her parents excessive concern, so she called them beforehand, lying that she had arrived at her sister's house and wouldn't be going back that night, assuring them not to worry. She then called Tang Xinxin to let them know as well.

Although Tang Xinxin would worry about her and remind her to drive carefully, at least she wouldn't be as anxious as her parents, to the point of being unable to rest.

After leaving the urban area of ​​City A, you have to pass through a place called Yuquan Town, and then you reach Luoxia Town, where Tang Xiaoxiao's home is. There is a long, winding mountain road between the two towns. It is a dangerous section of road, with hundreds of car accidents occurring there every year.

Tang Xiaoxiao was driving slowly on this winding mountain road. Because the curves were so sharp and there were many blind spots, she was driving very carefully.

She is confident in her driving skills, but that doesn't mean she is confident in others.

There was a previous car accident where a family of four was carefully driving on the inside of the road when a car crashed into them head-on, dragging them up the mountain. All seven people in both cars were killed.

There are no cameras installed on the entire road, and some reckless young people often race cars or motorcycles here. Even if she is confident in her driving skills, she might still run into someone who doesn't care about her life.

The scattered streetlights along the roadside were dim. After turning a corner, Tang Xiaoxiao vaguely saw what appeared to be a dark shadow struggling ahead.

As she drove a little closer and saw what it was, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Without thinking twice, she suddenly turned on the car's high beams and slammed on the brakes. She jumped out of the car and ran towards the shadowy figure. Under the high beams, she could clearly see the roadside grass shaking violently. Tang Xiaoxiao ran very fast and reached the person struggling on the ground in just a few seconds. She bent down to check on him and thankfully, he wasn't seriously injured, only suffering some minor abrasions.

There was only a clear mark on his neck from being strangled by a rope, which was still limply hanging around his neck.

Suddenly, two men in black jumped out of the bushes. They were completely covered up, with black hoods made of some unknown material on their heads, revealing only their sinister eyes.

The two didn't say much. Unlike the villains and cannon fodder characters often portrayed on TV who always have to ramble on before starting, they exchanged a glance and pounced on Tang Xiaoxiao without saying a word, intending to grab her along with them.

Tang Xiaoxiao raised her leg and kicked twice without holding back, sending the two burly men in black flying one after the other. Both men were holding a gleaming short knife, but it was useless; as Tang Xiaoxiao kicked them away, their knives fell to the ground.

Picking up the rope that had been wrapped around the victim's neck, she strode forward, skillfully dislocated both of their arms, and then tightly bound them together.

This was the first time she had ever truly faced vicious thugs since she started learning martial arts from Gao Yong. She was initially a little nervous, but she never expected that the two of them would be so useless.

After easily binding the two, she felt that with this level of skill, she could handle ten more of them.

Too weak.

The two burly men in black clearly saw the look of disgust on her face.

I was so frustrated I wanted to cry.

They were a little nervous when they first saw Tang Xiaoxiao's car stop. They didn't have time to care about the people who were already trapped and hurriedly hid in the bushes. But they found that only a young woman got out of the car.

After carefully checking to make sure there was no one else in the car, the two confidently got out to take down the meddlesome woman, never expecting to run into a tough nut to crack.

That slender leg, yet it felt like a thousand pounds when it struck their chests. The two were stunned the moment they were kicked away, their minds filled with thoughts of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?" They still feel short of breath, as if their ribs are broken. Where did this monster come from?!

After tying the two men up and making sure they couldn't break free, Tang Xiaoxiao turned around and picked up the two short knives on the ground. The blades were very sharp and gleamed coldly under the light, clearly excellent tools for committing crimes.

They ripped off the black cloths covering their heads, revealing two unremarkable faces—the kind of ordinary people you'd see on the street, the kind you'd pass by without leaving any impression. The only difference was that their eyes would occasionally flash with a menacing glint, sending chills down your spine.

She lightly grazed one of the men's faces with the tip of her knife. The man stared at her in terror, his body trembling uncontrollably. Tang Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, put away the knife, and stood up.

Are the most ruthless criminals the most cowardly?
