【004】 First Encounter (2)
The man in hot pursuit of the "Pennied Cap" was a young man. He was so handsome that even Gu Juan, a fellow man, couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He was dressed simply in a white shirt and black trousers. He must have been in his mid-twenties. His sharp features, sharp eyebrows, and dark, calm eyes were visible. His nose was high, and his lips, neither thick nor thin, were silently pursed, giving him a prim and uninteresting air that diminished his charm. His legs were as agile as a leopard's, swift as a leopard's, as he drew ever closer to the "Pennied Cap." It was only because he had been pushed to the ground that he couldn't catch the Cap in time.
Gu Juan withdrew his gaze from the man and fell on the man in the duckbill cap. He was very confident that he could successfully take the gun, so he tucked the computer bag under his left armpit, took a step forward casually, and when the man ran past him, he suddenly rushed out, kicked the man in the duckbill cap's ankle with his left foot, and at the same time hit the wrist holding the gun with his right fist.
The man in the baseball cap screamed and fell to the ground. His hand loosened and the pistol fell to the ground and slid far away.
"Looking for death!" The man dropped his gun, his expression became even more ferocious. He jumped up swiftly, glared at Gu Juan, and rushed towards him.
Gu Juan rushed towards the other party and punched him in the chin again.
The man in the baseball cap's face twitched in pain, and he suddenly took two steps back cunningly, grabbed a young girl nearby who had no time to react, and pushed her hard towards Gu Juan. Behind Gu Juan was the rolling elevator and the empty space.
"Ah——" the girl screamed and her high-heeled feet twisted.
Gu Juan quickly supported her, but the man in the baseball cap took the opportunity to push the girl again. Gu Juan only managed to push the girl to the ground in the opposite direction, while he himself was forced to fall out and plummet downstairs.
There was a sudden cry of surprise in the mall.
Thanks to his cultivation, Gu Juan's reflexes were greatly enhanced. Furthermore, he was very close to the elevator, so he had a good chance of grabbing the railing to the next floor and saving himself. However, two strong hands suddenly grabbed his ankles, leaving him dangling in mid-air. He could see the customers below, their heads held high, staring at him in shock.
He was wearing loose sweatpants, and when he was grabbed, his pants slid down from his waist to his hips. He hurriedly shouted to the person who grabbed him, "Let go!"
The man ignored him and suddenly lifted him up. Gu Juan felt his body lighten, and something brushed against his thigh, giving him an inexplicable chill. He fell a few inches further, but the next second, the hands gripped his ankles again. His arms loosened, and the computer bag fell.
"My notebook!"
In a flash, he was pulled up and fell to the ground.
He quickly got up and glared at the person who caught him, "Notebook, just bought a new one." Only then did he realize that this person was the man who had been chasing someone just now.
The man in the baseball cap was lying on the ground motionless, probably knocked unconscious by him.
The man looked at Gu Juan, frowned, and asked flatly, "Student?" as if he hadn't heard him.
Without waiting for Gu Juan's answer, his brows furrowed even tighter as he continued, "Who taught you to rush forward without regard for your life when you saw a gunman? You should have seen me chasing him, and you should have known that I would take care of this—"
Gu Juan interrupted him, "My notebook, newly bought, cost 12,000!"
The man stared at him for a moment and said unhappily, "What you just did was very dangerous, and you could even lose your life. Is all you remember about your notebook?"
Just as Gu Juan was about to answer, he heard a chuckle from the side, followed by several bursts of laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gu Juan turned around in confusion, as everyone around him laughed and stared at him. He looked at himself in bewilderment, his face flushing. His pants had just been pulled down by something, and now they had slipped down to his ankles, completely exposing the patterned boxer briefs underneath. These patterned shorts were a gift from the mall when I went shopping, and I had just casually pulled them out today, but who knew this would happen?
He quickly pulled up his pants and glared at the man fiercely, as if he wanted to gouge a hole in his face with his eyes.
The man showed no remorse. He glanced at him lightly, clicked the Bluetooth headset on his ear, said "hmm" seriously, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him. He picked up the "duckbill cap" on the ground with ease and stepped quickly into the elevator. "This is my business card. I'll compensate you for your computer later."
"Hey!" Gu Juan only had time to shout. The crowd watching him laugh hadn't dispersed yet, and some were filming him with their phones. He quickly covered his face, jumped into the elevator, and fled downstairs.
He slid all the way to the second floor, making sure he had escaped those scorching gazes. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and look at the business card in his hand. "Xi Lang, General Manager of Hongtu Group's Congzhou Branch, 27th Floor, Building A, Guanghua Building, 188 Rongguang Road..."
