Chapter 80 Life or Death
His son lay unconscious on the bed, his right arm bent into a strange shape behind his back, and his legs hanging limply.
act recklessly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruzhen was using a screwdriver to pry open the wooden board nailed to the back window, watching as the last nail was successfully removed.
The window was flung open with a bang, and Jiang Ruzhen jumped up in a few quick movements, turning back to give the shop owner the middle finger.
"You old bastards, I'll come back and castrate you sooner or later."
"Ah—what did you do to my son? I'm going to kill you."
The shop owner's eyes were bloodshot, and he lunged at Jiang Ruzhen with bared teeth and claws. However, he was too big and tripped over a chair in the aisle, falling flat on his face.
Unfortunately, the bag in her hand was swung away and hit Jiang Ruzhen squarely.
Jiang Ruzhen was hit by the money bag and fell off the windowsill.
Without realizing it, she grabbed the money bag and slipped into the space.
Hearing the commotion inside, the dozen or so thugs outside rushed in all at once.
"Boss, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
Thump, thump...
With several thuds, the first few people who rushed in were all tripped up by the shop owner on the ground, and piled on top of him, almost crushing him to death on the spot.
"You bunch of bastards, hurry up and chase after her! Don't let that little bitch get away! Whoever catches her will be richly rewarded!"
The thugs who hadn't yet entered immediately stopped and ran out, quickly spreading out to surround the rear.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruzhen, who was at the back window, manipulated the space to run away quickly, and in an instant she was more than ten meters away, but she still couldn't escape the black market area.
A high wall blocked her way.
But at this moment, all the thugs in the black market were alerted, and about fifty or sixty of them all rushed towards the back street to surround it.
If Jiang Ruzhen wants to move through the space again, she needs to come out and then go back in before she can move again.
But how could she possibly expose herself under the watchful eyes of everyone?
She found it quite amusing to watch these thugs running around in front of her but unable to find her.
So she simply stayed in the space, picking up an apple and munching on it while spacing out, planning to sneak out when it got dark.
Just then, a sudden commotion broke out in front of her, and she saw two tall figures rush in like tigers among sheep.
One of them looked like a demon crawled out of hell, with bloodshot eyes and a murderous aura, quickly harvesting the thugs' parts with his hands.
Wherever he made a move, the thugs either had their legs shortened, their arms broken, or they were knocked unconscious by a single punch.
The person behind him helped him clear out a small group of enemies. The two worked together seamlessly, one reaping the kills in front and the other covering the rear.
In no time, twenty or thirty thugs lay dead around the two men.
The others seemed intimidated by the two's overwhelming presence, and simply surrounded them without daring to step forward.
When Jiang Ruzhen saw the two people who were surrounded, her pupils contracted. How did they get here?
Just as the two sides were in a tense standoff, the shop owner was helped over by the two men.
Whether from anger or pressure, he was limping and panting.
When the crowd saw him arrive, they immediately parted to make way for him. He walked up to the menacing man, panting, and angrily rebuked him.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble on my turf?"
Lu Mingzheng didn't have time to waste words with him. When he followed Jiang Ruzhen's movements to the mall, he heard someone tell him that Jiang Ruzhen had gone to the black market.
He was extremely anxious and mobilized all available resources in Hangzhou to locate the hideout. Even though he had notified the police and military in advance, he couldn't stay put and wait.
He led Yu Jian and the other man directly over, and when he arrived at the shop owner's shop, he happened to run into the young man who was taking care of the fat pig.
He snapped the young man's arm bone and demanded to know Jiang Ruzhen's whereabouts.
When he learned from the young man that Jiang Ruzhen had almost been bullied by the fat man, he looked at the unconscious fat man with icy eyes and had already sentenced him to death in his heart.
Once the person is rescued, no matter what the higher-ups decide, this fat pig man is doomed to die.
But when he fought his way here, he saw a chaotic mass of people searching for Jiang Ruzhen, and no one had been able to catch her.
He had a guess in his mind and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But he had to eliminate this black market den, otherwise he didn't know how many more women would be persecuted in the future.
"Hand over the person." Lu Mingzheng stared at the shop owner and demanded the person.
The shop owner, unaware of Lu Mingzheng's background, was somewhat hesitant, but still insisted forcefully, "No, that woman hurt my son, I must kill her."
"You think you're worthy of her dying? I think it's more like you, you fat old pig, are the one who should die." Yu Jian retorted immediately.
No matter what, Jiang Ruzhen was the sister-in-law he favored, how could he let outsiders bully her?
Lu Mingzheng calculated the time, trying to stall for a while, "I'll cover all the expenses for your son's hospitalization, just let that woman go."
The shop owner was torn. He looked at the man in front of him, who was tall and had an air of wealth that made him seem like no ordinary person. But today, he had suffered such a great setback.
He was completely outmaneuvered by a little girl, his son's life was still hanging in the balance, and his brothers were all watching. How could he swallow this insult?
"I won't pursue your unauthorized intrusion, but I must apprehend that woman. I advise you not to interfere, or my things won't be taken by strangers."
As the shop owner spoke, he pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Lu Mingzheng. Lu Mingzheng's eyes narrowed rapidly, and Yu Jian was also taken aback. He leaned closer to Lu Mingzheng and whispered.
"Boss, he actually has a gun! This force is probably not simple!"
Yu Jianyi was so excited that he even started calling Lu Mingzheng by the names he used in the old army. Lu Mingzheng nodded slightly and his lips moved.
"Act according to the situation."
Just then, a police siren suddenly sounded from afar, getting closer and closer.
The shop owner immediately became nervous, and his men also began to panic.
"Damn it, you actually brought the cops! Brothers! Grab these two and get out of here!"
"Yes." The thugs immediately rushed towards Lu Mingzheng and Yu Jian as if they had found a lifeline.
The two were once again embroiled in a chaotic battle.
The shop owner's small eyes were fixed on Lu Mingzheng and Yu Jian with a sinister look; it seemed these two couldn't be allowed to live.
When they came in, they saw many things they shouldn't have seen and heard many things they shouldn't have heard.
They must be killed. As long as they are dead and there is no way to prove anything, even if he is arrested later, he will have a way to escape.
Surely the people above him wouldn't just watch him die.
Having figured this out, the shop owner hid to the side and quietly raised his gun, aiming it at Lu Mingzheng.
Jiang Ruzhen was struggling with her thoughts, after all, Lu Mingzheng and Yu Jian had come to rescue her.
Isn't it too unfair of her to just hide in the space and watch them get besieged?
But can a woman with only rudimentary skills really help Lu Mingzheng if she goes out?
Will it become a burden?
Just then, she suddenly noticed that the shop owner in front of her was crouching in a dark corner, raising his gun and pointing it at Lu Mingzheng, who was still fighting.
With a clang, the last thread of reason in Jiang Ruzhen's mind snapped instantly. Without a second thought, she flashed out of the space and swiftly ran towards the shop owner.
She bumped headfirst into the shop owner with a loud thud, leaving Jiang Ruzhen dizzy and disoriented.
But when she looked up at the shop owner, he didn't move an inch, staring at her in shock with his pupils dilated.
It’s over!
The weight was miscalculated; with her small frame weighing around 80 pounds, bumping into a body full of fat was like an egg hitting a rock.
Having missed her first attack, she tried to run away, but the shop owner was faster. He grabbed her arm and said with a ferocious expression.
“Little girl, you’re really good at hiding. Now I’ve caught you. You must pay for my son’s life today.”
He turned the gun in his hand, pointed it at her, and pulled the trigger.
With a "bang".
Jiang Ruzhen felt the world spinning, and just as she was on the verge of life and death, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
She watched helplessly as the bullet whizzed past the man's ear.
In that instant, time stood still, and her heart stopped beating.
While she was still stunned and dumbfounded, Lu Mingzheng kicked the shop owner's huge body away with a back kick.
