C4 Beauty Saves the Hero

After some intense exercise, the alcohol hit Jiang Nuan hard, making it difficult for her to stand steady. It wasn't until a steel pipe came swinging her way that she instinctively turned her back, bracing herself to take the hit.

Jee Cheng'an, sitting in the car, knew these people were actually after him. He stayed put to assess Jiang Nuan's fighting skills. But seeing her getting attacked, he didn't hesitate—he flung the car door open and rushed out.

"Alright, punks! You’re in for it now!" Jiang Nuan somehow broke through the crowd, standing her ground with a stance reminiscent of martial arts. Yet, due to her drunken state, she wobbled, looking like she was performing a drunken master routine.

"Forget the drunk! Jee Cheng'an's over there!" someone shouted. The group immediately left Jiang Nuan and charged toward Jee Cheng'an, brandishing their sticks.

Standing calmly in front of the car, Jee Cheng'an watched them approach, not moving an inch. Just as they entered his striking range, he heard several cries of pain. Looking up, he saw the tipsy Jiang Nuan fiercely attacking from behind, cursing them as she fought.

"Running off in the middle of a fight with me is a huge sign of disrespect!" she shouted, blocking a swinging steel pipe with her arm and swiftly striking the opponent's shoulder with the back of her hand. A scream echoed as the person clutched their arm, incapacitated.

Jiang Nuan continued to hurl insults while taking down her adversaries, quickly depleting their fighting spirit. Jee Cheng'an stood by his car, feeling a bit stifled.

He had heard of heroes rescuing damsels in distress, but a drunk saving a guy? That was new.

"Get up! Keep fighting!" Jiang Nuan's intoxication was taking over, and she was starting to wobble. After a few unsteady steps back, she stumbled right into Jee Cheng'an's arms.

"Uh—" Jiang Nuan seemed to realize she had bumped into someone. She turned around, her bleary eyes meeting an exceptionally handsome face.

"Uh... there's another one?" she mumbled, patting Jee Cheng'an's cheek and giving it a playful squeeze, enjoying the feel. "So good-looking, I almost don't want to hit you!" With that, she lifted her other hand and began to knead his face.

Jee Cheng'an caught a whiff of her alcohol-laden breath and frowned in annoyance. "Let go!"

The sharpness in his tone startled the drunken Jiang Nuan. Her eyebrows shot up, and she squeezed his face even harder, nearly distorting it. "If you've got the guts, try hitting me!"

Jee Cheng'an frowned in displeasure and forcefully shook off Jiang Nuan's hand. Just as he was about to get into the car, he noticed another group of people rushing over. Without hesitation, he grabbed Jiang Nuan, tossed her into the car, and quickly started the engine. He flashed the high beams to momentarily blind them, then hit the gas, speeding away.

After driving for an unknown distance, Jiang Nuan, exhausted, had fallen asleep in the backseat. Even in her sleep, she was restless, muttering and cursing. From her words, Jee Cheng'an gathered that she had been cheated on. Just as he was considering where to drop her off, his phone rang.

"Mr. Jee, I'm at the Sunrise Diner, and something feels off," the man on the other end said seriously.

"What feels off?" Jee Cheng'an asked in a low voice.

"Laigua and the others said you were taken by a... woman?" The man's tone was somewhat perplexed.
