Chapter 42: Lan Xuan III

  Just as Gu Chen and I walked out of the store, before we even got into the car, a man came running towards us, dashing recklessly across this narrow street. Gu Chen shielded me behind him, his expression instantly turning cold and stern.

  Behind the man was a beautiful young woman who ran breathlessly and shouted "Catch the thief!"

  The people around seemed indifferent to this scene, apathetically shifting their gaze away from it and busying themselves with their own affairs.

  But in just one night, I met the eldest Miss Qiao of the Qiao family, Qiao Yunge, who might be called sister-in-law later, and discovered an unknown side of Gu Chen. Now I've run into this situation again.

  I rolled up my sleeves, patted Gu Chen's shoulder and said boldly: "Gu Chen, wait for me, I'll go catch this thief." After finishing speaking, I ran away quickly. Gu Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and followed without hesitation.

  In our youth, we all had a heroic dream in our hearts, dreaming that one day we could fly over the eaves and walk on the walls, using the most elegant weapons to travel the world, and then find a hero to spend the rest of our lives with.

  At that time, Xu Luokai was most fascinated by martial arts novels. She loved Jin Yong the most. She hoped to become a clever and wise Huang Rong, with a silly Yang Guo who loved her; she also hoped to become a pure and elegant Little Dragon Girl, able to have a life-and-death relationship with Yang Guo; she even more hoped to become a gentle and affectionate Ren Yingying, marrying the Linghu Chong she was infatuated with at that time, although before that there was still a little junior sister...

  At that time, we were all girls with a crush on love, having different understandings and yearnings for it. I also once hoped to venture out into the world one day, but dreams are ultimately just dreams.

  That night, I abandoned all my images and chased the thief through three streets. If possible, I really hope that at this moment, I could fly over the eaves and walls, and then with a finger lift, easily catch the thief.

  After passing through another street, I turned left and right into a dead alley. The surroundings were as quiet as death, the front was pitch black, and the flickering lights made people tremble slightly.

  I panted heavily, feeling that this thief was indeed quite a runner.

  In a flash, something silver and shiny came straight down at me. I dodged it by pure reflex, barely avoiding it.

  Little rascal, still resorting to sneak attacks.

  "Big deal, this woman chased me for four streets." The man who had been chasing me all along was panting heavily and staring at me viciously.

  I just realized that there were people standing all around me, and I even had the heart to count them. Hmm, there are six.

  The person called Lao Da stared at me with wide eyes, "You're talking about this little beauty?"

  I cast a disgusted glance at that person, let out a cold snort, and said with great momentum: "If you have the ability to fight one-on-one, it's really shameful for you to gang up on me."

  The boss laughed, "Those who single-handedly mix with our line are inferior. Since you're a beauty, I'll pretend I didn't see today's matter." He turned around and asked the man from earlier, "Have you gotten your hands on it?"

  The man smiled slyly: "It's already in hand." He glanced at me and said, "Boss, if we don't clean up thoroughly, will the young master blame us?"

  The boss didn't say anything, seemingly deep in thought about something.

  "You look like an organized group. Who is your leader?" I regretted it a bit, maybe this kind of thing should be left to Gu Chen to handle instead.

  The man glared at me and scolded, "What's with all the questions, you little girl? You're not going to have a good day today!" He rolled up his sleeve, revealing his entire arm, and that small mark caught my eye.

  I smiled brightly and suddenly felt a surge of confidence.
