C98 Go and Save Your Wife!!
Feeling confident, are we?
Even though Zhang Chen was aware of Loong San's formidable abilities, he knew they were up against no ordinary foe.
But there was no alternative.
"Alright, let's go!"
With his jaw set, Zhang Chen bolted from the villa and settled into the Mercedes-Benz.
The vehicle took off at speed.
Fifteen minutes later, they reached the southern outskirts of the city.
The area was deserted, revealing an abandoned factory that loomed into view.
Zhang Chen's brow furrowed, a knot of anxiety forming in his chest.
Loong San steered the car into the woods to conceal it.
They exited the vehicle and edged closer to the factory.
Meanwhile, inside one of the factory's buildings, Lin Zhiqing was bound to a column.
Three men in snug outfits stood by her side.
The leader hung up the phone and scoffed, "Miss Lin, now that the call is finished, we'll release you once the five million is deposited."
Lin Zhiqing felt her heart lurch. The Lin family was already drowning in debt; where could they possibly find five million?
Her expression icy, Lin Zhiqing retorted, "You're not worried about us calling the police?"
The Eldest Brother smirked arrogantly, taunting, "You think we're scared?"
His demeanor sent a shiver through Lin Zhiqing.
Laoer, with a lecherous grin, sauntered over, eyeing Lin Zhiqing's striking figure with undisguised lust.
"Big brother, it's not often we come across such a fine woman! She's just a tool, after all. How about I have a little fun first?"
He licked his lips with a repulsive eagerness.
Lin Zhiqing's face tensed with alarm.
The Eldest Brother let out a sinister chuckle, "Go ahead."
Her eyes wide with terror, Lin Zhiqing could only watch as Laoer approached with a gleeful anticipation.
She fought desperately, but the ropes held her tight; she couldn't move.
Despair glinted in Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
But just as Laoer's hand was inches from grasping Lin Zhiqing, a sudden whoosh cut through the air.
Laoer's smile vanished as he reflexively snatched at the sound.
A stone was gripped tightly in his hand.
"Who's there?!"
Eldest Brother bellowed, his gaze piercing through to the outside of the factory.
Lin Zhiqing's eyes were wide with anticipation, shimmering with hopeful light.
As all eyes were fixed on the scene, a gaunt figure emerged slowly from the factory's shadow.
"Excuse the interruption, I'm here looking for someone," Zhang Chen said with an awkward grin.
He had planned a surprise attack, but they had detected him with ease.
The brows of the three men knitted together, a hint of confusion flickering in their eyes.
Lin Zhiqing was taken aback.
The joy in her gaze gradually waned, morphing into bewilderment, then longing, and finally settling into disappointment.
Zhang Chen had arrived, but to what avail?
Eldest Brother's eyes narrowed, his voice icy, "You're here for someone? And who might you be?"
Zhang Chen replied cheerfully, "I'm here for my wife. That woman inside, she's my wife. She wandered here by accident and caused you some trouble. I'll just take her off your hands now."
With that, he strode towards Lin Zhiqing, still smiling.
"Damn it! Are you playing games with me?"
Eldest Brother roared, fury blazing in his eyes.
He lunged forward, his hand shooting out towards Zhang Chen!
Zhang Chen's heart raced, his eyes bulging in alarm.
But then, the sound of something cutting through the air.
"Ah!"
Followed by Eldest Brother's agonized scream.
Zhang Chen froze.
He focused and saw Eldest Brother doubled over, his arm trembling fiercely!
On the ground lay a small stone.
The disparity was stark.
Zhang Chen inhaled sharply, his eyes awash with astonishment.
Soon after, Loong San's silhouette emerged with a steady pace.
Zhang Chen couldn't help but smirk; Loong San cut an imposing figure.
But there was no time for further thought.
Eldest Brother's brow furrowed.
Laoer and Third Brother squinted, their expressions grave.
The recent events had clearly captured their full attention.
Eldest Brother demanded coldly, "Who are you? Do you bear a grudge against us?"
Loong San replied coolly, "I'm with him."
The three men's frowns deepened, their gazes shifting back to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen offered an embarrassed smile, "My apologies for the intrusion."
Laoer huffed, his tone laced with anger, "Do you have any idea who we are? I'd suggest you avoid making trouble for yourself!"
Loong San's voice was firm, "Enough talk. Let her leave."
Third Brother stepped forward, his voice icy, "We need to subdue him first! We can't afford any mistakes!"
Eldest Brother gave a curt nod, "Fine."
The trio charged at Loong San with alarming speed.
Zhang Chen's eyes blurred as he watched, anxiety gripping his heart.
Suddenly, the thud of their collision echoed through the air.
In mere moments, they had clashed dozens of times.
Zhang Chen's heart raced with fear.
Then, a scream pierced the air.
He watched as Third Brother was sent flying backward.
Eldest Brother and Laoer's pupils shrank in alarm.
This was bad!
Before they could regain their composure, Loong San's fist struck Eldest Brother, sending him reeling back like a kite severed from its string.
Laoer continued to grapple with Loong San.
Though Loong San was overpowering them, he couldn't easily dispatch these formidable opponents.
Eldest Brother's expression grew stormy; he hadn't anticipated Loong San's strength to be so formidable.
After a moment's reflection, a sinister gleam crossed his eyes.
"Third Brother! Take out the woman first!" Eldest Brother commanded.
His words sent a jolt through both Zhang Chen and Lin Zhiqing.
"Right!"
Third Brother responded, pushing himself up and barreling towards Lin Zhiqing.
Loong San's brow creased.
He had just dealt with Laoer, but now Eldest Brother was back on him, relentless.
Loong San was trapped.
Third Brother closed in, his fist raised high.
Lin Zhiqing bit her lip, her eyes brimming with renewed despair.
The whoosh of Third Brother's punch filled the air.
A single tear rolled down Lin Zhiqing's cheek, the embodiment of her hopelessness.
Yet, in that critical moment, a figure darted to her side.
"You think you can harm my woman?"
