"Boss, they're here!"
In the ruins of a sports field, several men with shabby clothes, disheveled hair, and yellow teeth lurked among the rubble, each holding a spiked club.
“I saw it all clearly just now. That woman traded a small cart of seafood in just over half an hour. I estimate that she must have a lot of supplies, otherwise why would she have been so quick to agree to it!” said a young man with a pig-shaped nose and a punk hairstyle.
"I saw her too. And you know what? That woman was stunning! It's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She's like a movie star. If only I could..."
"You little brat, you never think about anything serious. You're already starving, and you're still thinking about this." Another punk youth, clearly not on good terms with him, deliberately mocked him.
"What do you know? Dying under a peony is still a romantic death."
"Shut up, stop talking, they're coming!" The leader of the group, who had been observing the situation, quickly shouted.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen walked into the ruins, chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, Xiao Jingchen stopped Ye Ning. "Ye Ning, stop. Something's wrong."
"Ah!" Ye Ning stopped in her tracks, looking around frantically. Someone was actually trying to steal her supplies, and they were even trying to steal from her!
"Boss, they've stopped. It looks like they've spotted us!"
"Move according to plan immediately!" the gang leader ordered.
As planned, the eight people surrounded Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen from four directions, effectively blocking them from all sides.
They brandished spiked clubs, looking arrogantly at Ye Ning and her group with mocking eyes, like big bad wolves toying with little white rabbits.
Xiao Jingchen shielded Ye Ning behind him, his gaze cold as he looked at the people around him. In his eyes, they were already a group of corpses.
"Hand over all your supplies! I might consider sparing your lives!" shouted the pig-nosed punk.
"No, just providing supplies isn't enough; we also need to keep that woman here!" another punk hurriedly said.
"Hahahaha! You're absolutely right. Leave the supplies and that woman behind, and you can go!" The rest of the group also let out lewd laughter.
"Steal supplies? You dare to rob us?" Xiao Jingchen spat out the words through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
He could tolerate the theft of supplies, but disrespecting Ye Ning meant certain death.
Xiao Jingchen picked up Ye Ning and placed her in the corner. "Ye Ning, you wait here for me obediently!"
Ye Ning nodded. With Xiao Jingchen's abilities, dealing with these small fry would be a piece of cake.
Xiao Jingchen slowly took out a small metal cylinder from his pocket, gently pressed a button, and a beam of light shot out from the metal cylinder.
"This is!" Ye Ning looked at the familiar metal cylinder. Wasn't this the laser sword that killed her in her previous life?
It actually ended up in Jing Chen's hands.
"What is this? A toy? Hahahaha! Has this kid gone mad? He actually pulled out a toy to fight us!"
"Third brother, fourth brother, hurry up! Grab this kid!" the gang leader ordered hastily.
"Alright, leave the boss to us!" The punk nicknamed Third Brother was secretly delighted. This skinny young man was easy for him to handle.
"Kid, I advise you to surrender now! If you kneel down and kowtow to your third grandfather a few times, I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise, your third grandfather will turn you into a eunuch in no time!" The punk-style guy called Third Brother laughed smugly.
"Is that so? Then let's see who becomes a eunuch first!" Xiao Jingchen brandished his laser sword.
"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite. Don't worry, I'll take good care of your woman after you die!" The punk named Lao San charged at Xiao Jingchen with a spiked club.
But before he could even touch Xiao Jingchen, he suddenly felt a chill in his groin. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before he could react, his gender had already been silently changed.
"Ah!" The third brother lay on the ground, clutching his crotch and screaming incessantly.
"Shut up!" Xiao Jingchen raised his hand and swung his sword again, abruptly stopping the scream.
Xiao Jingchen raised his head, his handsome face stained with specks of blood, like a blood-stained angel.
He drew his lightsaber, indifferently surveyed the remaining people, and slowly uttered three words.
"Who else?"
"This method... is he even human?" The remaining people, having witnessed Xiao Jingchen's methods, felt a chill in their hearts and instinctively clutched their lower abdomens.
"Run! He's a demon!" Realizing what had happened, the punk youths scattered and fled without a second thought.
"Trying to run! It's no use!" Xiao Jingchen shook the blood off his lightsaber and then gave chase.
Before long, all the people who had been besieging them were lying on the ground, unable to move.
If they were given another chance, they would definitely run far away the moment they saw Xiao Jingchen. Unfortunately, they no longer have that choice.
Xiao Jingchen wiped the blood from his face and walked to Ye Ning's side. "Ye Ning, it's alright now. I've taken care of them all!"
"Okay!" Ye Ning nodded. "Jing Chen, let's go home!" The bloodstains all over the ground made her lose interest in continuing to stroll around. Seeing that no one was around, Ye Ning put the trolley into her spatial storage.
“Okay! Let’s go home!” Xiao Jingchen took Ye Ning’s hand.
"By the way! Jing Chen, how did you end up with the laser sword? What happened after I was stabbed by the laser sword in my past life? I've never heard you mention it before," Ye Ning asked curiously.
"Well, it's a long story. I'll tell you about it when I get back!" Xiao Jingchen seemed reluctant to bring up the lightsaber.
At 3 p.m., Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen finally returned to the warehouse.
As soon as they returned to the warehouse, Ye Ning took out a turbot and ten lobsters, asking Sister Li to go to the kitchen to prepare them as a side dish for dinner.
"Wow! What a huge turbot!" Sister Li exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the enlarged turbot in front of her.
"Jingchen and I just bought this at the seafood market run by Xinyuan Group. Sister Li, go and steam it! We're having steamed turbot tonight!"
"Okay!" Sister Li quickly took the seafood to the kitchen to prepare it.
Overall, today was quite fruitful, despite a few minor hiccups.
The office of Zhou Haiyuan of Xinyuan Group.
Zhou Haiyuan sat in the CEO's chair, listening to the reports from his subordinates.
"Second Young Master, the results of your investigation are in. The young man you met this morning is named Xiao Jingchen, and he is the adopted son of the Ye family."
"Xiao Jingchen?" That name sounds familiar. Ah, right, he remembers! "So it's him!"
