18: Chapter 18 Taking Down Liu Yanran

"I'd like to see just how capable you really are!"

Clenching his fists, Lin Tianyang was determined to find out exactly who this guy was.

"I'm done playing with you!"

The man in black was also severely injured and had no intention of fighting Lin Tianyang to the death, so he prepared to slip away on the spot.

"Want to leave?"

"No way!"

Just as he chased after him for two steps, a cloud of white dust blocked his path.

Zuo Shishi, who had been lying in ambush nearby, had scattered a pile of lime powder.

"Ah..."

"Despicable, you coward, attacking from the shadows!"

Unable to dodge in time, Lin Tianyang only felt a burning, stinging pain in his eyes.

Hesitating for a moment, Lin Tianyang decided not to continue the pursuit.

Knowing full well the horror of quicklime, if he didn't hurry to treat his eyes, he might end up permanently blinded.

...

Chu Yuan was unaware of what had happened to Lin Tianyang; with a beauty before him, he had no mind to pay attention to such things.

At the entrance of Imperial Bar, a good show had already begun.

"What are you doing? Get lost, or I'll make sure that once you go in, you'll never come out again."

Looking at the group of thugs blocking her path, Liu Yanran was panicking inside.

However, on the surface, she still feigned composure, attempting to scare them off.

Because if she showed even a hint of weakness now, she would be torn to shreds by this group of thugs.

"A mindless web novel cliché; this is truly a case of intelligence-lowering plot armor."

Regarding this scene, Chu Yuan could only say it was too painful to watch.

Not to mention that Liu Yanran was the young lady of the Liu family, and when she went out, she had bodyguards following her in secret.

On the streets of Demon City, such audacious thugs would have long since been eating state-provided meals.

However, it was useless to talk about such things with a mindless web novel.

In short, as long as it's satisfying, that's all that matters.

"Beauty, we mean no harm, we just want to invite you for a late-night snack."

"Look at how delicate you are; it would be a shame if you got hurt."

The yellow-haired thug revealed a lecherous smile, practically on the verge of rushing up to grab Liu Yanran.

"In your dreams!"

Liu Yanran threw the handbag in her hand, hitting the yellow-haired thug on the forehead, and turned to run.

"Damn bitch, catch her for me!"

Rubbing his swelling forehead, the yellow-haired thug was furious and no longer cared about his image (which he didn't have anyway).

Snap!

Having only run a few steps, Liu Yanran twisted her ankle in her high heels and fell hard to the ground.

She couldn't care about the pain on her face because the group of thugs had already surrounded her.

"Run, little lady, why aren't you running anymore?"

"I'd like to see just where you can run to today."

The yellow-haired thug looked down at Liu Yanran from above.

This piece of fat that had reached his mouth was finally about to be swallowed.

At the same time, the yellow-haired thug's lecherous hand arrived as expected.

It's over!

Liu Yanran had lost her mobility, and facing so many hooligans, there was absolutely no possibility of escape.

Just as she was in despair, the yellow-haired thug's hand suddenly stopped less than ten centimeters from her cheek.

At the same time, a calm voice rang out.

"Brother, isn't it a bit inappropriate for so many men to bully a woman?"

"F*ck, who's your brother? Daring to meddle in my business, you're looking for death."

Having his good time ruined, the yellow-haired thug was furious with embarrassment and subconsciously began to curse.

"Noisy!"

Chu Yuan couldn't be bothered to waste words with a bit-part player like the yellow-haired thug; he flew out with a kick, sending him flying.

If it hadn't been for Chu Yuan intentionally holding back, the yellow-haired thug would likely be down there keeping his grandfather company by now.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to meddle in our business?"

"Brothers, take him down!"

The remaining group of thugs, seeing their big brother being bullied, immediately came to uphold justice, charging forward with fists raised.

"Watch out!"

Liu Yanran subconsciously shouted at Chu Yuan.

Bang!

Bang!

With a few more moves of fists and kicks, there were no extra techniques or nonsense.

A dozen or so thugs all went to keep the God of Dreams company.

"Young Master Chu... is it you?"

At this moment, Liu Yanran finally saw clearly that the person who saved her was none other than Chu Yuan.

"Isn't this Miss Liu? How did you end up here?"

"I... I..."

Liu Yanran suddenly realized she didn't know how to explain it.

Was she supposed to tell him that she had run to the bar to drink because she was angry with her family and had almost been molested by this group of thugs?

"Thank... thank you, Young Master Chu, for saving me."

"You're welcome. Looking at your state, let me take you home."

"No... no need."

Liu Yanran's face flushed subconsciously, and she declined Chu Yuan's kind offer.

Although she had a good impression of Chu Yuan, now, with just the two of them alone, she, being relatively traditional, still felt a bit hesitant.

"Alright then, take care, Miss Liu."

Chu Yuan didn't mind.

It was normal for Liu Yanran to be guarded against him.

He just treated it as an ordinary encounter where he happened to step in.

Having done a good deed without expecting a reward, he turned and walked towards his Range Rover.

Seeing Chu Yuan just walk away like that, Liu Yanran was stunned.

However, before she could think too much, she felt her whole body burning, especially her cheeks, which were red enough to boil an egg.

Whether it was because she had sprained her ankle or because she had no strength, Liu Yanran stumbled and just fell to the ground.

"Miss Liu, what's wrong?"

Chu Yuan revealed a faint, imperceptible smile, though it vanished in a flash.

Turning around, Chu Yuan stepped forward quickly and supported the wobbly Liu Yanran.

"I... I..."

Liu Yanran wanted to say something, but felt her whole body go limp, leaning powerlessly into Chu Yuan's arms.

Her eyes, as she looked at Chu Yuan, were like autumn water, filled with an indescribable and ambiguous meaning.

This situation was definitely not because she had drunk a few too many glasses, or because of a sudden illness.

That left only one possibility!

Liu Yanran was extremely intelligent, and a terrifying thought suddenly sprouted in her mind.

"Quick... quickly take me to the hospital."

"No, I can't go to the hospital, take me back!"

If people found out about her state like this, her reputation would be ruined, and even the Liu family's reputation would suffer a blow.

Without needing to think much, Liu Yanran understood that she had been set up by those thugs.

Liu Yanran just wanted to get home quickly, take a cold shower, and let herself calm down completely.

"Alright."

Chu Yuan curled his lips, scooped Liu Yanran up by the waist, and tossed her into the car.

While getting out to pick up her bag, he sent a message to Zuo Shishi, quietly letting that group of thugs, including the waiter, take a permanent long nap.

"Quick... quickly take me back."

Liu Yanran was somewhat nervous and anxious; she felt increasingly that she was about to lose control of herself, fearing that in the next second, she would do something she couldn't even imagine.

"Having me, this young master, act as your driver and still bossing me around, Miss Liu, you are the first."

Chu Yuan started the vehicle unhurriedly.

Liu Yanran was already dazed and subconsciously found a sturdy chest to lean against.

"Holy crap!"

"Miss Liu, I'm driving here, are you trying to make me crash and die!"

Chu Yuan, who had originally been taking it slow, was affected by Liu Yanran's actions, so he slammed on the accelerator and sped to Liu Yanran's villa.

At this moment, Liu Yanran had completely lost control of herself.

...

Here, one hundred thousand words and an entire night are omitted.
