Chapter 198: Husband And Wife Joining Forces
After Chu Cichen stepped out, he directly entered the car. “Move out.”
Muscles sat in the driver’s seat and asked with some hesitation, “Should I wait for Miss Shen?”
He saw that Shen Ruojing had followed them out earlier.
Chu Cichen tensed his chin. But before he could reply, a buzzing sound rang out. He turned and saw Shen Ruojing riding on a motorbike and speeding past them hastily. She didn’t even bother wearing her helmet.
She directly tore a hole at the side of her blue dress, revealing her fair and slender leg. When her motorbike sped past, her dress fluttered in the wind, exuding a wild sense of beauty.
“…” Muscles silently started the car and followed behind Shen Ruojing.
The streets of Sea City weren’t crowded at this time, so Muscles were able to catch up with Shen Ruojing no matter how fast she drove. They then reached the Shen Residence almost at the same time.
The moment Shen Ruojing parked, she jumped down immediately.
And before the car finished parking, Chu Cichen already pushed the door open and jumped down.
The two of them rushed toward the entrance of the villa.
The interior of the villa was dark. The lights weren’t on.
The villa gate was locked by a password-encrypted lock. And at this moment, three people were standing in the courtyard.
Chu Xiaomeng stood in front of the door and would invoke feelings of pity for those who looked at her.
There were currently two men standing before her.
One stood at the side and was on his guard, while the other person was clad in a red and black western suit. His hands were placed in his pockets and his lips were curled in a half-smile. His deep eyes were fixed on Chu Xiaomeng. This man was none other than Dugu Xiao!
He stared down from a height at Chu Xiaomeng and revealed a malevolent and ruthless expression. His voice was filled with sinisterness as he spoke, “Little fellow, are you not afraid of me?”
Chu Xiaomeng’s voice was calm as she asked, “Why should I be afraid of you?”
Dugu Xiao paused. He grinned and made an even more terrifying expression. Every time he smiled like this, the group of women in red dresses at his place would hide away. He coldly said, “I don’t blink when I kill.”
“…” Chu Xiaomeng opened her eyes wide. Just when Dugu Xiao thought that she was going to cry, he saw Chu Xiaomeng staring at him in astonishment as she asked in an endearingly silly manner, “Won’t your eyes be dry then?”
Dugu Xiao. “…”
When Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen came close, they coincidentally heard Chu Xiaomeng speaking. The two of them exchanged a glance, and Shen Ruojing pointed her finger at Chu Cichen before pointing at Chu Xiaomeng.
Chu Cichen instantly understood what her intentions were.
This woman wanted to draw Dugu Xiao away so he could save Chu Xiaomeng.
He wanted to object, but Shen Ruojing already acted, so he could only follow the plan.
Shen Ruojing went straight for Dugu Xiao.
A gust of wind suddenly gusted behind him. Dugu Xiao turned his head to the side to dodge, but Shen Ruojing had arrived in front of him. Another kick was launched his way.
Dugu Xiao could only walk a step to the left to evade this. He then seemed to have realized something and directly rushed toward Chu Xiaomeng.
However, his shoulder was held by Shen Ruojing. The two of them tangled together while Chu Cichen circled around and sent the butler flying with a kick. After that, he carried Chu Xiaomeng away!
Dugu Xiao’s movements were very impressive, comparable to Shen Ruojing’s.
However, Shen Ruojing basically had no intention to beat him. After seeing that Chu Cichen had saved Chu Xiaomeng, she immediately retreated two steps and lengthened the distance between them.
Under the moonlight, the three people here stared at each other.
After seeing Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen clearly, Dugu Xiao was slightly shocked. His brows twitched.
Chu Cichen’s expression tensed. He carried Chu Xiaomeng and walked to the front of Shen Ruojing. He then turned and passed Chu Xiaomeng to Shen Ruojing as the tall figure directly stood before them protectively as he faced Dugu Xiao. His voice turned heavy. “Dugu Xiao, the rules of the underworld state clearly that one must not implicate the family members of their target. This is especially so for children. What do you mean by this?!”
Dugu Xiao’s vision landed on Chu Xiaomeng before slowly shifting toward Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen. His attitude was one of arrogance. “How can you blame me if you fail to take care of your family members well?”
Chu Cichen’s gaze flashed and seemingly hardened. “Dugu Xiao, since you dared to touch my family members, don’t blame me for bullying you as you are not on your home ground!”
After saying this, the sound of many footsteps rang out from outside the door.
Twelve bodyguards with Muscles in the lead stood neatly and uniformly outside the gate, blocking Dugu Xiao’s exit.
Chu Cichen was truly enraged and he also felt a lingering fear.
If he and Shen Ruojing came a little later, wouldn’t Xiaomeng land in Dugu Xiao’s hands?!
Dugu Xiao’s way of doing things had always been ruthless. When he killed people overseas, he would exterminate their entire families, not even sparing the children. If Xiaomeng became an icy corpse…
Once this thought surfaced, Chu Cichen clenched his fists tightly and wanted nothing more than to tear Dugu Xiao into pieces.
Dugu Xiao frowned. His gaze toward Chu Cichen was now filled with contemplation and scrutiny.
He originally thought that Chu Cichen was an ordinary man. After all, when he had bullied the Chu Corporation, Chu Cichen hadn’t retaliated at all and merely used the opportunity to change industry.
But at this moment, Dugu Xiao understood. How could Chu Cichen be so simple?
He narrowed his eyes and felt that this man before him was somewhat familiar. After that, he cracked his neck and loosened his wrists while grinning. “It has been a long time since I acted personally. I might as well take this chance to relax.”
These provocative words caused the atmosphere to feel extremely tense.
Just when Chu Cichen was about to rush forward, a soft voice suddenly rang out. “Daddy, the situation isn’t like this!”
Chu Cichen started.
He turned and looked at Chu Xiaomeng.
Everyone on the scene also turned to look at her.
The little girl with social phobia didn’t know where to place her hands now that she was being stared at by so many people. Usually, she could hug her dinosaur soft toy, but it was currently in the hotel. Her little hands could only clutch her skirt tightly. “I…I was the one who called a cab here to look for grandma and grandpa. However, they were not at home. Hence, I decided to sit outside to wait for them, but a baddie suddenly appeared and wanted me to go home with him. I refused and he wanted to beat me, but this handsome uncle suddenly appeared and chased the baddie away!”
Although Chu Xiaomeng was young, she knew how to speak clearly and her logic was well-structured. She explained everything very clearly.
This actually caused Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen to be stunned.
The two of them looked at Dugu Xiao in astonishment as the same feeling of puzzlement arose in their hearts.
Dugu Xiao sneered. “What sort of gaze is that? I had no idea this brat was your kid. If not, instead of saving her, I would have helped the other party.”
“…”
The scene fell silent.
Chu Cichen waved his hands and Muscles immediately brought the other guards away. Only then did Chu Cichen look at Dugu Xiao. “Many thanks.”
Dugu Xiao’s expression froze as an unnatural look appeared on his face. However, his stance was no longer so hostile. “No need. Consider this thanks for Miss Shen. She helped to cure my headaches.”
After saying that, he turned and brought his butler away.
After the two of them vanished around a corner, Chu Cichen frowned and waved his hand to summon Muscles. “Go and investigate what he is doing here exactly.”
“Yes.”
After Muscles left, he turned his head again and saw Shen Ruojing staring sternly at Chu Xiaomeng. “What did you want to come here to take exactly? Quickly go and take it.”
