"This won't do either!"
Sitting in the building across, Jiang Che had witnessed this scene clearly and couldn't help but criticize internally.
This Lin Yu is really incompetent, just focused on showing off.
How can someone be so enthusiastic about showing off even when alone?
...
A shot hit Lin Yu's shoulder directly, causing blood to spray out like a flower, leaving Lin Yu completely numb.
At this moment, Brother Dao was holding a gun, glaring viciously at Lin Yu before him.
"Heh... so you're a master of ancient martial arts?"
Brother Dao's face carried a hint of mockery; in this world, ancient martial arts weren't particularly big secrets.
Lin Yu clutched his chest, his face pale as he stared at Brother Dao.
He had miscalculated; he shouldn't have been so arrogant. If he hadn't taken those two hits head-on... with his abilities, he could have dodged the bullets.
"Who are you? Release Ye Mengyao quickly, I've already called the police!"
"Heh..."
What followed was an extremely boring sequence.
They exchanged verbal threats, and Brother Dao, being the villain with a gun... didn't take Lin Yu seriously at all.
But the villain died from talking too much when Lin Yu said...
"I bet your gun is out of bullets."
And surprisingly... Brother Dao's gun really was out of bullets.
Lin Yu charged forward, but Brother Dao turned out to be a martial arts master too, at the early stage of hidden power.
The two became entangled in combat, with Lin Yu ultimately winning a bitter victory thanks to his protagonist's halo.
These twists and turns were indeed exciting enough that Jiang Che, watching from the neighboring building, almost wanted to grab some sunflower seeds to snack on while watching.
"Cough cough... Yao Yao! Yao Yao!"
Lin Yu limped towards Ye Mengyao who was on the sofa. At this moment, Lin Yu had already started feeling emotional about himself, thinking about how he had suffered serious injuries to save Ye Mengyao...
Surely the girl would be incredibly moved when she woke up?
She definitely would be. As long as Yao Yao would fall for him... all the wounds would be worth it.
As he thought about this, Lin Yu involuntarily coughed up a large mouthful of blood, looking even more miserable.
Just as he was fantasizing about winning the beauty's heart...
"Bang!"
A dull thud, and Lin Yu felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.
Then everything went black, and he collapsed with a thud. Before losing consciousness, his lips moved slightly, "There's... someone else..."
"Too much nonsense!"
Jiang Che weighed the brick in his hand - nothing beats a good brick!
As Confucius says: In fighting, use bricks! Hit the head! Hit hard! If you miss, hit again! Use right hand then left hand! When the brick breaks use your shoe! Hit until they stop moving.
To be safe, he gave Lin Yu's head another hit with the brick.
Lin Yu's body trembled slightly, then completely stopped moving.
Death was certainly impossible - the protagonist's luck was too strong!
Jiang Che flexed his wrist and walked over to the other kidnappers, checking each one for survivors.
"Mmph mmph..."
The unconscious fat guy woke up at this moment, looking at Jiang Che with terror in his eyes. He had just woken up to see this young man seemingly beating someone to death with a brick.
"Stop making noise, Ye Mengyao is about to wake up!"
There was no way he could leave any witnesses.
A single chop to the throat crushed his larynx, and soon the pig brother went to meet the Buddha in the Western Paradise.
After Jiang Che finished off everyone else, he also tied up Lin Yu and hung him up.
After completing everything, police sirens could be heard from outside below.
Jiang Che's lips curled into a smile - perfect timing.
In the next second, the brick in his hand vanished into thin air, stored away in his jade pendant space. The weapon used to knock out Lin Yu definitely couldn't be left behind.
Jiang Che also put a few drops of blood on himself.
The scene was crystal clear - Lin Yu had come to save Ye Mengyao first but was overpowered and tied up, then Jiang Che arrived... fought the villains and successfully saved Ye Mengyao.
"Mmm..."
Ye Mengyao, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Jiang Che's back...
Ye Mengyao fought through her headache and propped herself up with her arm.
Looking around, how could someone as smart as her not understand what had happened?
She only remembered walking out of the school gate when someone covered her mouth from behind, and then she lost consciousness.
She had been kidnapped!
People were lying all around - had this person saved her?
But why did that back view look so familiar?
Gradually... this figure overlapped with the familiar silhouette in her heart.
"Jiang Che! Is that you? Did you save me?"
At this moment, Jiang Che slowly turned around, his eyes calm and emotionless, even somewhat cold.
He didn't say anything.
But Ye Mengyao, who was good at imagining things, had already figured out the reason.
To save her... he had braved danger alone and fought against so many villains.
In an instant, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Jiang Che! You still love me, don't you?"
"Hmph... I only did this to maintain the relationship between the Jiang Family and the Ye Family. Besides, I wouldn't ignore anyone in danger, even if they were just a regular classmate."
Jiang Che's words made Ye Mengyao cry even more.
"I don't believe you, you must still love me."
As she spoke, Ye Mengyao suddenly hugged Jiang Che from behind.
Her tears soaked through Jiang Che's thin shirt.
Even Ye Mengyao was surprised - her androphobia was cured?
She actually didn't mind physical contact with Jiang Che!
This realization made Ye Mengyao very happy.
But she was happy too soon. Jiang Che knew clearly that his character should remain cold at this moment.
To train such a tsundere young lady, one crematorium scene wasn't enough.
"Miss Ye, the police will be here soon. I don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings with you."
Jiang Che directly employed the push-and-pull tactic, trying to break free from Ye Mengyao's embrace, but she wouldn't let go.
Soon, the police rushed in one after another.
They were all dumbfounded by the scene.
When Ye Changkong and his wife saw that Ye Mengyao was safe, the anxiety on their faces finally eased, especially Lin Xue... whose face was covered in tears.
Yu Wan'er, who had come with the police, ran out, and when she saw Ye Mengyao holding Jiang Che, she felt a moment of confusion.
An inexplicable sourness spread in her heart.
But it was only for a moment, and even Yu Wan'er herself hadn't noticed it.
At this point, Jiang Che finally forcefully broke free from Ye Mengyao's embrace - he had played his part well enough.
Now it was time for them to imagine the rest themselves.
......
The scene was too easy to interpret - it was obvious that Jiang Che had saved Ye Mengyao. As for Lin Yu hanging from the ceiling?
Hardly anyone paid attention to him. It was a kind-hearted police officer who called an ambulance, which took him away.
"Yao Yao, what happened? Are you hurt?"
"Sister Yao Yao, I was so worried!" Yu Wan'er hugged Ye Mengyao and even started crying, though it was hard to tell if it was genuine.
"I'm fine, Jiang Che saved me!"
Ye Mengyao bit her lip gently, her slender finger pointing at Jiang Che.
Her face carried a hint of shyness.
