The flower shop closed at around 9 p.m. Su Ning looked up at the night sky, but there wasn't a single star in it; it looked like it was going to rain.
Su Ning didn't see He Ci at the door, nor did she see A Rang or Ali. In the past, whenever He Ci didn't come, one of the two of them would come to pick her up.
Little did she know that He Ci had forgotten to tell A Rang to come and pick her up, as he was so engrossed in drinking that he hadn't checked the time.
Su Ning had walked this road before, and tonight she clearly sensed that many people were following her in the shadows.
Su Ning was terrified and wanted to get home quickly. The sudden appearance of the person startled her.
She couldn't help but take two steps back. "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
"Miss Ning'er, don't be afraid. I am Young Master He's man. He sent us to protect you."
When Su Ning heard that it was He Ci's people, she felt much more relaxed.
"Did something happen? Why didn't Brother Ci come?"
The bodyguards were unaware of He Ci's whereabouts; their mission was to protect Su Ning.
"Miss Ning'er, don't worry, Young Master He may have something to do! We'll take you home first."
Su Ning didn't know why He Ci would arrange bodyguards for her. This had never happened before. Su Ning was very uneasy, feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Sure enough, as soon as they stepped out of the street corner, a group of men wielding knives ran over from a short distance away, and the bodyguards hidden in the shadows all rushed over to protect Su Ning.
The group of people didn't say a word and started hacking at each other. It was the first time Su Ning had ever seen such a scene, and her legs were trembling.
Those people seemed to have no regard for their lives; several of Su Ning's bodyguards were injured.
The enemy had a large number of people, and Su Ning's side quickly became weaker. No matter how skilled these bodyguards were, they were outnumbered.
Seeing bodyguards fall one by one in front of Su Ning, she was terrified and lost her composure. She wanted to run errands but couldn't get her hands on them.
Someone raised a knife and slashed at Su Ning. It was too late to dodge, and Su Ning closed her eyes in fright.
With a loud bang, the knife didn't hit her; instead, the man with the knife fell in front of Su Ning, his blood splattering all over her.
Su Ning looked at the person who saved her. The girl had short hair that reached her ears and moved smoothly. She looked dashing in her black leather jacket and pants.
The girl took down a large number of people on the other side; she was very skilled and could easily take on five opponents at once.
He Ci rushed over as soon as he received the news, and he was less nervous after seeing Cui Ying.
Ah-Ren and Ah-Li were his right-hand men, and the two of them were in the open.
Luca and Cui Ying were his bodyguards. Others only knew that Luca was the young master of the Lu family, but few people knew that he was also one of He Ci's four protectors.
Seeing that Su Ning was alright, He Ci quickly pulled her into his arms. Luckily, Cui Ying arrived in time today, otherwise he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
"Little darling, I'm sorry, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Su Ning's body trembled uncontrollably, and her face turned deathly pale. This wasn't a martial arts movie on TV; someone had really died.
Qi Yan and Zhu Zhou also rushed over. They had been drinking when He Ci received a call from the bodyguard and ran out immediately.
He had chased after them relentlessly to find them. When Qi Yan saw the chaotic scene, he realized how serious the situation was.
He took off his suit jacket and joined the battle, while Zhu Zhou kept his eyes fixed on one direction.
He wasn't mistaken; the girl being held by He Ci was the one he was looking for. It turned out that what Su Ning said was true.
He Ci comforted Su Ning and put her in a safe place. These people deserved to die; they dared to touch his woman.
He Ci picked up the long sword from the ground, his murderous aura impossible to conceal. Countless people on the other side had also died or been injured. Seeing He Ci's furious eyes, no one dared to attack.
He Ci's murderous aura was impossible to conceal; with a swift movement, he plunged his longsword into his opponent's body.
"You're all asking for death. You'll all stay here tonight."
Qi Yan felt a chill run down his spine. It had been so many years since he had seen such a congratulatory message. One could only imagine how important Su Ning was to him.
