Although it was getting dark, the sky was still cloudless with a few scattered stars, and the bright moon shone brightly in the night sky, so people could be vaguely seen.
The leader was a tall, stout man in his twenties or thirties, holding a flashlight. This group had already turned towards Chen Xihua and her companion, as if they were waiting for them.
At this moment, two people grabbed the young car owner by the shoulders and pushed him in the middle, forming a line with the others. Among these people, it appeared that two of them were carrying sticks.
They were all thugs from other counties, not from nearby villages. They went to other county roads to rob people. Even if the victims reported it to the police, it wouldn't be easy to catch them, and many people were too scared to report it. So they weren't too worried about the car owners' families coming to their door.
Just now, they were about to beat the kid up when they heard the sound of a motorcycle coming down the slope, so they stopped to see what was going on.
"Hey you two, don't come any closer! Turn around and leave. Please call the police for me!" The one shouting was the young driver whose shoulder was being pulled.
She looked to be around 18 or 19 years old, about 1.78 meters tall, with a slightly chubby face, or perhaps she was just naturally a little plump. However, her features were regular and delicate, and she wasn't unattractive.
The driver, Huo Kai, was stopped by a large rock when he first drove here. Just as he was about to pull over to show off, eight or nine people suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, carrying a large rock that blocked his way as well. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late to turn his car around.
Huo Kai had a mobile phone, but it was out of battery; otherwise, he would have called the police long ago. He never expected to be robbed, and when these people heard he was a member of the Huo family, they didn't show any fear whatsoever.
He had intended to scare them off and make them back down, but these country bumpkins still dared to hit him—truly, bad people come from poor, remote areas. So he was genuinely afraid; he feared he might be beaten to death on the way home, and his parents wouldn't even know.
He began to feel fear and hoped that someone would come to save him.
However, when he saw someone riding a motorcycle by, Huo Kai didn't want them to get arrested, so he spoke up to remind the two people to leave quickly so he could call the police for him.
Huo Kai's aunt married and moved to Hong Kong. Just after Hong Kong's return to China, he went to visit her a week ago. He got his driver's license last month, and his father agreed to let him buy a sports car, which he bought directly in Hong Kong. He plans to drive it all the way back to Beijing to show off to his friends.
At the time, his aunt disagreed with him driving back, saying it wasn't safe on the road and that she had just gotten her driver's license and shouldn't drive long distances. But Huo Kaifei ignored her and drove off when his aunt wasn't looking.
He was filled with regret at that moment, realizing he shouldn't have disobeyed his aunt.
"Two more lads are passing by. Let's go together. Hand over all your money, and leave the motorcycle." The man in the lead spoke, pleased. He thought to himself that tonight's haul was pretty good.
The Chen sisters first stopped their car a distance away, parked their motorcycles on the side of the road, and then got off and slowly walked towards the group of people.
"Second sister, I'll take care of the four men on the left of that leader, and you take care of the five on the right. Watch out for the two with sticks. Be quick." Chen Xihua whispered to her second sister, Chen Jinhua, as they parked the car.
Fortunately, there were only eight or nine people, not too many, and my second sister and I should be able to handle them. Besides, it's a good opportunity for my second sister to practice.
Chen Jinhua nodded to indicate that he understood, and then slowly followed Xiao Wu over.
Seeing the two timid and cowardly approaching, the leader laughed loudly, "Haha, you two are quite sensible. Take off your helmets and let us see them."
However, Chen Xihua and her companion seemed not to hear them. Just as they were about to reach the group, she suddenly moved and kicked the man who had spoken.
"Ah..." The man fell heavily to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xihua grabbed one of the thugs next to her and swiftly threw him over her shoulder. Then, she kicked the man hard in the knee, causing him to writhe on the ground in pain, crying, "Ouch, that hurts so much..."
Chen Xihua immediately turned around, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, and punched the man who was originally grabbing the car owner's left arm right in the face.
The remaining thug had also reacted and was about to rush over to hit Chen Xihua when she kicked him with a side kick, sending him rolling on the ground.
Meanwhile, Chen Jinhua handled the situation with ease, taking down five thugs in just a few moves, including two wielding sticks. She snatched one of their sticks and swung it with tremendous force, as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her. She had been practicing self-defense and martial arts for several years, and finally had the chance to actually fight. She was incredibly excited, her fighting spirit surging through her entire body.
The scene suddenly descended into chaos, with eight or nine thugs already knocked to the ground.
"Are you looking for death? Get up and seize these two..." At this moment, the leader of the group stood up, his face contorted with rage, and shouted angrily.
But Chen Jinhua kicked him again, sending him flying and crashing to the ground once more. This time, he couldn't get up. Chen Jinhua had used some force, and although Xiao Wu reminded her to control her strength, she was a bit carried away.
"You damned people." The car owner, Huo Kai, had also gotten away. He ran over and kicked the other person who had just grabbed his arm twice.
"Boss, let's run! These two are trained fighters, we can't beat them." At this moment, one of the thugs got scared. He lay on the ground for a moment to recover, then struggled to his feet and said as he backed away.
"Yeah, boss." The other thug lying on the ground was the one who had been punched in the chest by Chen Jinhua. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up and said with a face full of pain and panic.
The leader was already coughing up blood and unable to speak; he knew he'd met his match. He gestured for one of his less seriously injured men to help him up, then clutched his stomach and slowly backed away. The other six or seven men also stood up, limping and slinking away from a small village entrance by the roadside.
"Thank you, brothers. My name is Huo Kai." Huo Kai thanked the Chen Xihua sisters very gratefully. Although he was still shaken, he had already become quite familiar with them and jogged over to them. If it weren't for these two, the consequences for him would have been unimaginable.
He figured the two men must be soldiers or veterans; they had moved so swiftly. He had watched without moving, and in less than a minute, they had taken down eight or nine people who were trying to rob him, and even chased them away. They were truly amazing.
"Second sister, move this rock." Chen Xihua first looked at Chen Jinhua and said, then turned to Huo Kai, pushed up her helmet visor, and said, "My name is Chen Xihua, you can also call me Xiao Wu, and that is my second sister Chen Jinhua. You should go back to Jiang City to rest for the night before leaving. Don't drive at night anymore, drive during the day."
Chen Xihua didn't intend to do good deeds anonymously. This person belonged to the Huo family, and she might be able to use their connections when she went to Beijing in the future. After all, it was a life-saving favor.
"Second sister, let's go." After she finished speaking, she walked to the motorcycle, ignoring Huo Kai, who had just been so friendly and called her "brother," now looking shocked.
"Okay, Xiao Wu." Chen Jinhua had already moved the rock in front of the sports car, and she was getting a closer look at the convertible. Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, she jogged back to her motorcycle, started it, and drove off.
Even after Chen Xihua and her sister had ridden away on their motorcycle, Huo Kai was still dumbfounded.
A woman? No, a girl, and a very beautiful one at that. And that second sister, she moved the stone all by herself with ease?
But he quickly came to his senses, opened the car door, got in, and turned around to chase after the motorcycle in front. He also wanted to call the police and have those people arrested; how dare they rob him!
However, Huo Kai was still a little distracted by what had just happened, so he didn't drive fast. Half an hour later, when he returned to Jiang City, he still couldn't find the two girls.
The Chen sisters, Chen Xihua and Chen Jinhua, were driving much faster. It was already seven or eight o'clock, and they wouldn't get home until after ten at night. They first stopped at the Jiangshi gas station, filled up their tank in a few minutes, and then continued on their way.
Chen Jinhua drove even faster on the road from Jiangshi back to Gaoyang County. She knew the road well, and in less than an hour, she had covered most of the distance. After turning a corner ahead, there was still a little more to go to reach the county.
Soon, the motorcycle reached the bend. Just as it came out of the bend, there was a commotion ahead. Forty or fifty thugs were surrounding a jeep.
"You must be Captain Zheng," the leader of the group shouted.
The person surrounded in the middle was Zheng Dao. His face was tense, but he remained calm. He was tall and upright, and exuded righteousness.
"Damn it," Chen Xihua cursed inwardly. Even a refined person like her couldn't help but swear. She really should check the almanac before going out in the future.
They encountered another robbery, and these people were clearly different from the previous eight or nine thugs; they were all carrying knives and sticks.
"Xiao Wu, what should we do?" Chen Jinhua was also a little nervous; there were just too many people this time.
