Seeing Chen Biao's arrogant demeanor, Liu Anran frowned slightly, but Chen Biao wouldn't listen to her at all. She could only sigh helplessly, reach out and push Chu Yunxiao, hoping to wake him up and see what to do.
Chu Yunxiao opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong, An Ran?"
His voice was magnetic, with a slight huskiness.
Just as Liu Anran was about to speak, Chen Biao stopped the car.
"Look ahead yourself," Liu Anran gestured for Chu Yunxiao to look at the road ahead.
Chu Yunxiao looked straight ahead and saw several people carrying wooden sticks walking towards them. He could tell at a glance that they had ill intentions, and his face darkened.
"Why not just charge straight in?" Chu Yunxiao asked seriously.
“Boss, they’re just a few thugs. I can handle them by myself,” Chen Biao said.
Looking at Chen Biao's arrogant and conceited manner, Chu Yunxiao asked coldly, "How do you know there are only a few thugs? How do you know there's no one hiding in the shadows? Chen Biao, when did you become so arrogant and reckless?"
As soon as Chu Yunxiao finished speaking, the group of men walked to the front of the car and tapped on the windshield with sticks, signaling them to get out.
An Qiao was a little scared and nervously reached out to grab Chen Biao's clothes.
Liu Anran gently tugged at Chu Yunxiao's hand and pointed to the car parked by the roadside.
Chu Yunxiao looked at the car, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said with a serious expression, "You suspect there's someone inside the car."
Liu Anran nodded and said, "Yes, I'm worried that as soon as we get out of the car, someone will come out and point a gun at us."
Looking at Chu Yunxiao's serious expression, Chen Biao realized he had been reckless and regretted not listening to Liu Anran.
Yunlong sensed something was off and saw someone outside the car holding a wooden stick. Feeling scared, he clung tightly to Liu Anran's chest.
"Yunlong, don't be afraid, Mom and Dad will definitely protect you," Liu Anran said softly to comfort him.
Hearing Liu Anran's kind voice, Yunlong's fear subsided considerably.
"Get out of the car!" someone outside shouted arrogantly.
Seeing that Yunlong was frightened, Chu Yunxiao said coldly, "Charge!"
Just as Chen Biao was about to start the car and rush over, he saw a car that had been parked on the side of the road suddenly rush into the middle of the road and block the way. Four men and one woman got out of the car, all of them holding submachine guns. Two of them pointed their guns at them, while the other three walked towards them.
Liu Anran quickly hugged Yunlong into her arms, looking at Chu Yunxiao with a pale face, "Yunxiao, I'm a little scared."
Chu Yunxiao reached out and put his arm around Liu Anran, looking at the man with a gun walking towards them, his whole body exuding a cold aura.
Liu Anran watched as those people walked past their car and headed directly towards Gangzi's car.
Liu Anran turned around and watched through the rear windshield as the people got into Gangzi's car. She knocked on the window and saw Bai Lu get out of the car. Then she saw a young man with dyed yellow hair pointing a gun at the car. Her expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Yunxiao, it's terrible! That man is going to shoot!"
Chu Yunxiao's expression changed as well. He opened the car door and was about to get out when he heard a gunshot, followed by Luo Yuyu's panicked scream, "Ahhh..."
"Xiao Wang!" Liu Xiong's sorrowful cry rang out.
An Qiao trembled and covered her head, almost crying out.
Chen Biao was stunned. How dare these people shoot at people so casually?
Chu Yunxiao got out of the car and shouted, "Stop!"
The blond-haired man who had just fired the shot brandished his gun and arrogantly said, "Yo! Finally decided to get out of the car."
A short-haired woman wearing tight leather pants and a high-waisted t-shirt shouted, "Get out of the car, all of you!"
Liu Anran obediently carried Yunlong out of the car and came to Chu Yunxiao's side, standing close to him.
An Qiao trembled and clung to Chen Biao's clothes, following him to Chu Yunxiao's side.
"Boss, I'm sorry. I should have listened to Liu Anran and rushed over. This situation wouldn't have happened," Chen Biao said with regret and guilt.
"Shut up!" Chu Yunxiao said with an icy expression.
Liu Xiong carried Xiao Wang, who was covered in blood, out of the car, followed by Lao Liu.
Gangzi and Luo Yuyu also got out of the car one after another. Huang Mao looked at Chu Yunxiao triumphantly and said, "If you had gotten out of the car obediently, I wouldn't have fired the gun."
Bai Lu stood behind Liu Xiong, her face pale as she looked at Huang Mao and his companions.
Five young men with guns surrounded Chu Yunxiao and his group, ordering a few thugs to take all their guns and then telling them to check if there was any food in the car.
The thugs opened the trunk of the car, found two cases of instant noodles and a case of bottled water, and cursed, "Damn it! They look glamorous, but they're all poor bastards. What a waste of all their effort!"
Looking at the group of thugs, Liu Anran said nervously, "Brothers, please have mercy and leave my son a pack of instant noodles and a bottle of water, okay?"
A thug sized up Liu Anran with ill intent and teased, "You're quite pretty, but you're wearing a half-face mask. Are you too beautiful and worried about being coveted?"
Liu Anran glanced timidly at the thug, then lowered her head in fear.
Huang Mao walked up to Bai Lu, lifted her chin with one hand, looked at her incomparably beautiful face, and said with a drooling voice, "I've taken a liking to you. You'll stay by my side and I promise you'll never have to worry about food or drink."
"I don't want to follow you. I want to go back to Beijing to find my family," Bai Lu said, her voice trembling.
The blond-haired man patted Bai Lu's face and said with a wicked smile, "It's not up to you!"
Bai Lu pushed Huang Mao aside and hid behind Liu Xiong.
Liu Xiong's face was terribly gloomy, as if water could be wrung out of it, and he hated Bai Lu to death.
That damned woman killed Xiao Wang, and now she wants to harm him again. I really regret taking her in.
The blond-haired man gave Bai Lu a wicked smile. "What, you think this man can protect you?"
As Huang Mao spoke, he raised the gun in his hand and pressed it against Liu Xiong's temple, saying to Bai Lu, "If I just lightly pull the trigger, this man's head will explode."
“I’m not her man, I just took her in temporarily because I felt sorry for her,” Liu Xiong said.
Upon hearing Liu Xiong's words, Bai Lu suddenly looked at him, her face showing disbelief and despair.
Liu Xiong put Xiao Wang down, glanced at her guiltily, then stood up, grabbed Bai Lu and pulled her in front of him, shoving her toward the blond-haired man. "This woman has nothing to do with us. Do whatever you want with her. You've taken the things, so can you let us leave now?"
“Men can leave, but women have to stay,” the short-haired woman said.
"I don't want to stay," An Qiao cried out.
Liu Anran placed Yunlong in Chu Yunxiao's arms and said softly, "Take Yunlong and leave first."
"How can I watch you get into danger?" Chu Yunxiao disagreed with Liu Anran's decision.
"I told you to leave, so leave. I don't need your help." Liu Anran said, pushing Chu Yunxiao to hurry up and leave.
A refined-looking man pointed a gun at Chu Yunxiao, then looked at Liu Anran and said, "I didn't expect you to be so sensible, woman."
