Chapter 49 Scar Six
It was a cool night outside the subdistrict office. The street lights cast a dim glow, stretching the two people's figures.
Xu Yao held Xue Han's arm, and the joy of victory just now gradually receded like the tide, replaced by a lingering feeling of strangeness.
It was like... there were a pair of eyes behind her, cold and greedy, circling her body like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
This feeling started as soon as I left the street office. It was like a fishbone stuck in my throat, which I could neither swallow nor spit out.
At first she thought she was just being overly nervous. After all, she had been fighting the Sun family for so long and her nerves were always on edge. It was inevitable that she would be nervous at the slightest provocation.
But as they walked further away, the feeling of being watched became stronger and stronger, sending chills down her spine and making her hair stand on end.
It was like there was a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, waiting for its chance to strike, ready to devour her at any moment.
She couldn't help but look back. There was no one in the dim alley. Only the wind blew the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, like the whispers of ghosts.
"What's wrong?" Xue Han's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of barely perceptible worry.
Xu Yao forced a smile and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm just overthinking it." She didn't want to make Xue Han worry, but the chill was like a leech that she couldn't get rid of.
Xue Han's palm gently pinched her shoulder. The force was not strong, but it brought a reassuring power.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." These five simple words were like a reassurance, calming Xu Yao's panicked heart a little.
After returning home, Xu Yao's uneasiness not only did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.
She paced back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, always feeling that something was staring at her in the darkness, making her feel uneasy.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you? You seem absent-minded." Father Xu looked at his daughter's abnormal behavior and asked with concern.
Xu Yao bit her lip and finally decided to tell Xue Han about her concerns.
She told him in detail what had happened during the day and the lingering feeling that she was being watched.
After Xue Han heard this, his brows furrowed, "It seems that the Sun family has not given up."
"I always feel that they will do something bigger this time." Xu Yao's voice trembled a little. She was afraid that she and her family would be hurt again, and she was also afraid that Xue Han would be implicated.
Xue Han held her in his arms and patted her back gently, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." His warm breath sprayed on her neck, making her feel a little relieved.
In the next few days, Xue Han began to investigate secretly. He visited residents near the street office and went to scout near Sun's house, but he never found anything suspicious.
The clues were like a kite with a broken string, floating around unsteadily, leaving him at a loss as to where to start.
"The person behind this is very cunning." Xue Han looked at the fragmentary clues in his hand with a frown. He realized that this opponent was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
Xu Yao didn't want to sit there and wait for death, so she began to try hard to recall the people related to the Sun family, trying to find a breakthrough from these people.
She listed all possible people, including relatives, friends, and even some people with whom she had grudges.
She sat at the table, pondering the list, while Xue Han sat quietly beside her, watching her thinking seriously. This woman was stronger than he had imagined.
"Have you thought of anything?" Xue Han patted her shoulder gently and asked softly.
Xu Yao raised her head, met his gentle gaze, and her heartbeat quickened slightly.
"I think... I'm getting some clues." There was a hint of uncertainty in her tone, yet also a hint of excitement.
"Tell me about it." Xue Han encouraged.
Xu Yao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Do you still remember..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, her eyes fell on a name on the list, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
"What's wrong?" Xue Han noticed her strangeness and looked in the direction she was looking.
Xu Yao did not answer, but just stared at the name closely, her fingers trembling slightly.
"It's him..." She murmured to herself, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Who?" Xue Han asked.
Xu Yao raised her head suddenly, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, "I... I think I know who is following me..."
Under the dim light, Xu Yao's face turned pale, and her finger trembled as she pointed at a name on the list - "Scar Six".
This guy is a famous gangster leader in the county. He is notorious, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and does all kinds of bad things.
She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Sun Zhiqiang seemed to have had contact with this person.
"Scar Six..." Xue Han repeated the name, and a dangerous light flashed in his deep eyes.
He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
This is not ordinary tracking, this is a naked threat!
If these thugs really succeed, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I remember... I seem to have heard Sun Zhiqiang mention that he knew Scar Six..." Xu Yao's voice trembled a little. Those fragments of memories of being oppressed and intimidated flooded into her heart like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Xue Han hugged her in his arms lovingly, patted her back gently, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, I will protect you. They can't touch a hair on your head."
A warm current surged from Xu Yao's heart, dispelling the fear in her heart.
Xue Han is like a mountain, protecting her from wind and rain and giving her a sense of security.
In the next few days, Xue Han secretly launched an investigation and confirmed Xu Yao's guess.
As expected, the Sun family contacted Scar Six and planned to attack her when she went out alone, in order to avenge her for the embarrassment she had caused them before.
This old hag is really a wicked person with evil intentions. She is full of evil intentions!
After learning the truth, Xue Han did not act rashly.
He is not just a young man who knows how to show off his bravery. He is a tough guy who has been tempered in the hail of bullets. He is resourceful and meticulous.
He knew that to deal with such hooligans, he couldn't fight them head-on, but had to use his wits.
He began to make plans quietly, contacted some reliable friends, and secretly set up a tight net, waiting for Scar Six and his gang to fall into the trap.
At the same time, Xu Yao was not idle either.
She knew that the Sun family would definitely not give up. Scar Six was only part of their plan and there must be other tricks up their sleeves.
She began to be more cautious and tried to avoid going out alone.
She goes to and from get off work with Xue Han every day and they are inseparable, like conjoined twins.
That evening, Xu Yao and Xue Han were on their way home from get off work and passed through a remote alley.
Suddenly, several figures rushed out from the darkness and surrounded them.
"Hey, isn't this Xu Yao? What a narrow road for enemies to cross!" Scar Six had a sinister smile on his face, waving a shining dagger in his hand, which reflected a chilling light under the dim light.
Xu Yao's heart tightened and she subconsciously hid behind Xue Han.
Although she knew that Xue Han was very powerful, she still couldn't help but feel scared when facing these ferocious thugs.
"What do you want to do?" Xue Han asked coldly, with a barely perceptible murderous intent in his tone.
He protected Xu Yao behind him and observed the surrounding situation calmly.
"What? Hehe, of course I'm going to teach you a lesson and let you know the consequences of offending our Sun family!" Scar Six shouted arrogantly, not taking Xue Han seriously at all.
In his opinion, Xue Han was just a barbarian. No matter how skilled he was, could he defeat so many of them?
"Just you guys?" Xue Han sneered disdainfully.
"Go!" Scar Six gave an order, and several thugs rushed forward, waving their weapons and pounced on Xue Han.
A sneer appeared on Xue Han's lips, and his figure flashed, moving among the crowd like a ghost.
His moves were as fast as lightning and each one was deadly.
Only a few screams were heard, and several thugs fell to the ground, wailing.
The whole process takes less than a minute.
Scar Six was stunned and frightened out of his wits.
He never expected that Xue Han's skills would be so terrifying, just like a martial arts master in the movies!
Before he could react, Xue Han had already walked up to him, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"You...what do you want to do?" Scar Six was so scared that his face turned pale and he stuttered.
"I'll take you to where you should go." Xue Han said coldly.
At this moment, a siren sounded from far away...
When Scar Six saw the police appear, he was completely desperate... He knew that he was doomed this time.
Looking at Scar Six being taken away by the police, Xu Yao's heart was filled with gratitude and admiration.
She knew that if it weren't for Xue Han, she would definitely be bullied by this group of thugs today.
"Xue Han, thank you." Xu Yao looked at Xue Han affectionately, with tears in her eyes.
Xue Han smiled gently and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? It is my responsibility to protect you."
After returning home, Xu Yao was still frightened.
Even though Scar Six has been caught, what more vicious schemes can they come up with?
It was late at night and Xu Yao was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly, she heard a slight noise outside the window... She sat up suddenly and looked out the window vigilantly... "Who?"
