Chapter 239 Wildcat
Unexpectedly, the man was kicked out by the beauty inside and lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Wow, he's that good? This horse merchant can't even beat a woman, yet he dares to talk big. He's really shameful."
"That's right, he's a bodyguard leader, he should just go home and farm. He's such a big guy, what a waste."
The horse merchant, naturally unable to accept such humiliation, immediately scrambled to his feet and shouted to his men, "What are you all standing there for? Get her! Seize this little bitch! Tonight, I'm going to teach her a lesson!"
Jiang Mi strode out, and Jiang Zhi and Jiang Xuan couldn't stop her, afraid that she would get hurt if she went out.
"Honey, stay here and don't go out. Your third brother and I are here. We can't let anyone bully you."
Jiang Mi waved her hand dismissively: "Second Brother, Third Brother, you don't need to worry about it. Dealing with such a good-for-nothing is more than enough for me."
The horse merchants' men gathered around, preparing to attack Jiang Mi, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them and quickly arrived.
Jiang Mi turned around and saw Huo Ran riding over with a cold expression. The horse stopped in front of the horse merchant, its front hooves raised high, which startled the horse merchant so much that he almost fainted.
"Who...who are these people? How can they be so arrogant?"
"Judging from their clothes, they seem to be from the elite. These clothes are not something ordinary people can afford."
After abruptly dismounting, he didn't even glance at the horse merchant. Instead, he walked up to Jiang Mi, his face cold, but his eyes held a hint of grievance: "You actually did that kind of thing to me and then abandoned me and ran away."
Her tone and expression made it seem like she was a philandering man who had slept with a young girl and then abandoned her. In front of so many people, Jiang Mi felt quite embarrassed. She lowered her voice and said, "Let's talk about our business privately later. There are so many people here now."
Hearing this, Huo Ran had no choice but to put aside his dissatisfaction for the time being. He glanced unhappily at the horse merchant lying on the ground and asked, "What did this person do to upset you?"
The voice was a bit louder than expected, and Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhi heard it. They immediately came over and said, "This person is very reckless. He actually dares to make a move on Honey, and now he even wants to take action against her."
"Oh? How dare you be so audacious? Do you think the law doesn't exist?"
Ma Shang finally realized what was happening. He was helped up by his men and glared fiercely at Jiang Mi: "She's just a promiscuous woman, yet so many of you men are willing to risk your lives for her. It seems she's quite cunning!"
What the horse trader didn't know was that these people cherished Jiang Mi like their own lives, and his insults towards her were tantamount to courting death in their eyes!
Without wasting words, Huo Ran kicked the man away. The force of this kick was much greater than that of Jiang Mi's kick. The horse merchant fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone around was astonished. This newcomer was not only handsome and dashing, but also incredibly skilled in martial arts. He was truly a dragon among men.
"What are you all standing there for? Charge!" At Ma Shang's command, his men rushed towards Huo Ran, but even all of them combined were no match for Huo Ran.
However, Huo Ran disdained to fight these people, and Liu Min and the others behind him easily subdued them.
"Take all these wicked horse merchants to the government office and see if they dare to abuse their power again!"
"Yes!" Liu Min responded and ordered his men to take all the horse merchants away, along with their goods. These people were so arrogant; who knew what kind of business they were doing, or who their buyers were?
"Young Master Huo, what are you doing here?" Although Jiang Zhi felt relieved, he was still uncomfortable because he hadn't actually hit the horse merchant a few times.
Jiang Xuan squinted at Huo Ran. He had seen Huo Ran appear in time several times before. He didn’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional. Logically speaking, Huo Ran didn’t have much interaction with their family. He had only bought some sweet potatoes and potatoes from them. In addition, he had a good relationship with his maternal grandfather and lived in the same village, Hongyang.
This person always appears and disappears without a trace, and no one knows his true identity.
Huo Ran calmly replied, "It's nothing. One of my kittens ran away, so I brought some people to look for it."
Upon hearing this, "Little Cat" blushed instantly and lowered her head in embarrassment. If it weren't for her second and third brothers being there, she would never have let Huo Ran go.
Jiang Zhi didn't find anything wrong with it and asked curiously, "A kitten? So Young Master Huo has so much free time that he even keeps a kitten. Everyone says that kittens are the hardest to train. If they run away, they just run away. It would be better to keep a dog."
Huo Ran shook his head: "That won't do. There's only one of these cats in the world. If it gets lost, we'll never find another one exactly like it. It may have a bit of a temper, but I can't live without it."
Jiang Mi's ears turned bright red. She looked away shyly, as if what Huo Ran said had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Zhi suddenly realized and said, "Seeing how much Young Master Huo values it, could that cat be a rare creature? I wonder what breed it is, that it's so unusual."
Huo Ran smiled ambiguously: "She's not that precious, but she's unique in my heart. Even though she bit me and ran away, I still want to catch her and cherish her."
Jiang Mi blushed to the roots of her neck. Huo Ran had gone too far, brazenly concealing her secret. She would settle this score with him when no one was around!
Jiang Zhi sighed, "You're so kind-hearted, treating the kitten so well. Did you find it? If this kitten is lost, it's not easy to find. Did it actually end up here?"
Huo Ran smiled and nodded: "We've found it, everyone, don't worry. Are you heading to the capital?"
Jiang Zhi nodded repeatedly: "That's right, how did you figure that out?"
Huo Ran laughed and said, "This road is the only way to the capital. I have heard that you two have achieved good results in the exam. You must be heading to the capital to take the exam."
"That's right, we are indeed going to the capital. Is Young Master Huo going too? Why don't we come together?"
Jiang Xuan then spoke up to stop him, saying, "There's no need for that. Our carriage moves slowly, and we don't want to delay Young Master Huo's urgent matter."
Huo Ran noticed Jiang Xuan's wariness towards him, but he didn't mind and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm also preparing to return to the capital. We can go together, and if we encounter bad guys again, we can help each other."
