Chapter 23 Assassinate Tian Ruan and run away.
Tian Ruan got in the car, and only remembered the "assassination" plot when he was almost at the entrance of the cemetery.
Although the assassination of Yu Jingmo was a big deal, it had little impact on the top and bottom protagonists of the original book. At most, the top protagonist was annoyed by the attention of many people because of this incident, and then the bottom protagonist asked him to go out and relax (date).
Readers will follow the protagonist's perspective and will read whatever the author focuses on.
Tian Ruan is the same. He reads novels just for fun and doesn't think about the hidden plots or conspiracies behind them. Now, he feels like he has become "fun".
The cemetery is on the outskirts of the city, with few people around it. It is home to a large, tall, lush pine forest. Now, in late autumn, a thick layer of golden pine needles has fallen on both sides of the road.
Workers were cleaning the area, and black and white tombstones stood everywhere in the forest.
Tian Yuan walked slower and slower, trembling.
Yu Jingmo turned around to look at him. Yu Shang was walking in front, holding fruits, incense and candles for worship in his hand.
The autumn wind is bleak and even cooler in the suburbs. Yu Jingmo asked: "Is it cold?"
Tian Ruan shook his head, "I'm wearing autumn clothes."
"Then why are you shaking?"
“…”
"Afraid of dead people?"
"I'm not afraid of the dead, I'm afraid of the living."
"There are only four living people here, who are you afraid of?"
Tian Ruan looked around and stared at the cemetery workers.
Yu Jingmo looked over and saw an old man in his sixties or seventies who was still working.
"Could he be the killer?"
"You have paranoid delusions?"
"……No."
Yu Jingmo held his cold hand, "It's really cold."
Tian Ruan stammered, "Really, I felt a murderous aura."
Yu Jingmo's profile was as cold and solemn as a snowy peak, but his tone was still gentle: "It could be that the bodyguards are lying in ambush nearby."
"Bodyguard? Why didn't I see any?"
“Look at the trees.”
Tian Ruan looked up in confusion, his pupils slightly dilated. A sturdy man in a security uniform was hiding awkwardly among the pine needles. Because the pine needles were too prickly, he could only rub his butt against the tree.
Tian Ruan: “…”
The bodyguard saw him looking over and waved his hand with a silly smile: "Hi~"
Tian Ruan turned his head away, unable to bear to look, and saw a mound of earth made of pine needles and soil, slowly twisting.
Tian Ruan was frightened.
Yu Jingmo said coldly: "Come out."
A head wearing sunglasses popped out of the dirt. "Sir and Madam, I'm Da Zhuang. I'm hiding."
The bodyguard of the Yu family didn't say he was sick, he could only say he was seriously ill.
Yu Jingmo patted Tian Ruan's back soothingly: "They've watched too many heroic movies."
Tian Ruan was very skeptical. How could such a bodyguard protect Yu Jingmo?
Ten minutes later, they finally came to a small forest. The graves here had obviously been carefully cleaned, without a single weed, and there was also a sweet-scented osmanthus tree planted.
There is also a bodyguard hiding in the osmanthus tree.
Yu Shang was placing offerings, as if he didn't see the bodyguard.
Tian Ruan stood in front of the tombstone: "Don't you think the bodyguards' presence is too strong?"
Yu Shang didn't even raise his eyes: "Just treat it as air."
The next second, the air turned murderous - the osmanthus flowers fell, and the "bodyguard" fell from the osmanthus tree, passed Yu Shang, and stabbed Yu Jingmo with a dagger in his hand!
The sharp blade cut through the air, the tip of the blade pointing directly at his face.
In an instant, Tian Ruan jumped away like a rabbit, "I said there was murderous intent!"
Speaking of murderous intent, murderous intent came, just like the slow motion in a martial arts novel. Yu Jingmo caught the dagger, but his eyes swept towards Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan ran away.
“…”
The killer who deliberately disguised himself as a bodyguard was tall and mighty. He was as tall as Yu Jingmo, but even more muscular, and his hand and foot skills were also very skilled. But he didn't expect that Yu Jingmo had been practicing fighting since he was a child, and this kind of single-person assassination could not put him in danger at all.
In just five or three moves, Yu Jingmo subdued the killer. The dagger fell to the ground with a bang. He then used a small grappling move to dislocate the man's arm. He then raised his leather shoe and kicked the man's knee. The killer immediately fell to the ground like a mountain.
The bodyguards finally rushed out and subdued the killer together.
Tian Ruan ran thirty meters and looked back. Seeing that he was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back.
Just a dozen meters away from Yu Jingmo, a middle-aged man suddenly jumped out from behind a tree and put a knife across Tian Ruan's neck.
Tian Ruan: “…”
The bodyguard exclaimed, "Madam!"
Tian Ruan had a blank expression on his face: "As bodyguards, all you can do is yell?"
bodyguard:"……"
Yu Jingmo stood there without making any movement, staring at the middle-aged man holding Tian Ruan hostage: "Cousin, what do you mean by this?"
"You still think of me as your eldest cousin? Ridiculous." Yu Maodan sneered, "You forced my father to death, and my wife and children fled abroad, and you still think of me as your eldest cousin?"
Yu Jingmo was unmoved, "Let him go, and talk it over nicely if you have anything to say."
"You can't talk nicely!" Yu Maodan put the blade close to Tian Ruan's snow-white neck skin, his eyes full of bloodshot, "You made me lose my family. Today, I will also kill your wife and let you taste the pain of losing your family."
"If you kill him, you will die too." Yu Jingmo took a few steps forward.
"Don't come over here!"
Yu Jingmo paused, "How much money do you want? Ten million? One hundred million? Is that enough?"
Hearing the 100 million, Yu Maodan wavered. At this moment of distraction, Yu Jingmo was as swift as a beast and kicked Yu Maodan's wrist that was holding the knife.
Yu Maodan felt pain, but did not let go of the knife. He stabbed at Tian Ruan fiercely.
But then, he received a heavy blow to the abdomen. With a low growl, the seemingly weak young man in front of him actually slipped out from his arms.
Just as Yu Maodan was about to grab it, his wrist was twisted, and this time the knife really fell. Then with a loud slap, he was slapped and staggered to the ground.
The slap was given by Tian Ruan. Yu Jingmo held him down on the shoulders, otherwise he could have been kicked.
Tian Ruan was so angry that he said to Yu Maodan: "Mr. Maodan, if you want to kill someone, just kill them. Don't hurt innocent people, okay? Although I look easy to bully, I am not really easy to bully."
Yu Maodan's old face was purple and swollen, "You two are fighting against me alone!"
"You've never heard of mixed doubles?" Tian Ruan said, "How about I play one-on-one with you now?"
“…”
Yu Jingmo glanced at Tian Ruan and said, "Your hands are all red. Take a break."
Tian Ruan blew on his palm and said, "Okay, you come."
Yu Jingmo picked up the knife on the ground, turned it over between his fingers, and looked at Yu Maodan thoughtfully, "Cousin, do you like this?"
Yu Maodan was sweating profusely and snorted, "If you have the guts, kill me too."
The knife fell vertically to the ground and with a ding, it stuck between Yu Maodan's legs. It was just a little bit away and the egg would have been gone.
Yu Maodan looked at the knife in horror, not daring to move at all.
Yu Jingmo said calmly: "We are now in a society ruled by law. If the uncle doesn't understand, and you don't understand either, then let someone who knows teach you."
"You have no right to send me to jail!"
"Assassination doesn't count?"
"You have no evidence! Who knows that the killer was sent by me? Who knows that I want to kill you?"
Yu Jingmo condescended to point to a nearby electric pole and said, "There are surveillance cameras in the cemetery."
Yu Maodan: “…”
The bodyguards also tied up Yu Maodan, tied him up with a double knot, and tied him up tightly so that he could not move.
Tian Ruan finally saw the bodyguard's merits and praised him generously: "He was really foresighted and actually brought a rope."
The bodyguard was flattered by the compliment: "It was Mr. Yu who asked us to carry the rope with us, in case the Madam escapes..." He suddenly stopped and glanced at Yu Jingmo with horror, "I didn't say anything, Madam, you didn't hear anything."
Tian Ruan: “…………”
