Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The King’s Return (7)

“`

“Master Jiang.”

The young man had just stepped out of the restroom when he was confronted by two people.

His complexion was still poor, tinged with a hint of pallor, “What just happened?”

“The power suddenly went out.” One of them answered, “Master Jiang, the task is done, shall we go?”

The young man glanced back, pursed his lips in thought for a moment, “Let’s go.”

With a tall and slender figure, his trench coat billowed out behind him as he walked, exuding a commanding presence.

–

Chuzheng stripped Sheng Ting naked and blocked him in the restroom.

As a boss, she didn’t believe Sheng Ting could call for help without any means of communication.

Chuzheng returned home with her bodyguards in tow.

[Hidden task: Please obtain a Good Person Card from Jiang Ye to prevent his descent into darkness.]

Who the hell is Jiang Ye?

Chuzheng didn’t recognize him at all.

Where is he?

[A hundred meters straight from you.] The King’s Account must be worried Chuzheng would leave directly.

A hundred meters straight line distance…

The distance might not seem long, but in a winding and twisting place, that hundred meters could feel much longer.

When Chuzheng found Jiang Ye, a group of people were in the midst of a fierce brawl.

From the number of people involved, the Good Person Card side was clearly at a disadvantage.

Chuzheng watched the dimly visible figures under the streetlights, it was the same young man she had encountered in the restroom…

But the King’s Account hadn’t given her a task just earlier.

Does that mean if there was no danger when she first encountered Good Person Card, the King’s Account wouldn’t assign her a task?

The group fight was almost without suspense.

Even if the young man was formidable, being outnumbered, he was soon the only one left on the battlefield.

Chuzheng stood in the darkness where the streetlight’s glow couldn’t reach.

She looked on with a cold indifference.

The bodyguards didn’t understand why their employer had come here just to stand and watch the scene unfold.

But it looked like the guy on the other side was about to lose…

Someone took advantage of the young man’s distraction to stab him with a knife.

The chaos halted; everyone surrounded the young man, as one of them stepped forward, “Master Jiang, we’ve kept to our own territories before. You crossed the line first today, don’t blame us.”

Clutching his abdomen, blood flowed from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.

“Who has really crossed the line?” the young man replied disdainfully, showing little sign of weakness even when injured, “What I’m curious about is who told you that I would be here today.”

“Hahaha.” The other side laughed loudly, “I’m afraid you can only take your questions to hell.”

The young man didn’t answer.

He silently watched the people before him.

The dim light enveloped the young man, casting his figure on the ground, long and thin as a line.

The air around seemed to become colder.

The other party seemed to be annoyed by his gaze and suddenly aimed a kick at him.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow on the ground moved.

The young man swiftly brought his attacker to the ground, seized the knife, and stabbed mercilessly.

“Damn!”

“Finish him off!”

Despite his injuries, the young man managed to take down several men.

In the night’s darkness, the young man was like a wolf cornered in extremity.

Even in death, he would drag everyone down with him.

Under the dim streetlight, quietness eventually prevailed.

The young man swayed and knelt on one knee, propping himself up with the knife he had snatched.

He looked into the darkness, “How much longer do you plan to watch?”

A young girl emerged from the shadows, followed by tall, big-bodied bodyguards who surrounded her closely, a true show of a boss’s entourage.

The blurry figure gradually became clear.

The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he recognized the person who stepped out.

It was her.

With so many people on the other side, Jiang Ye’s expression darkened.

He could take down these men, but that didn’t necessarily mean he could handle even more of them.

Jiang Ye decided to sit down on the ground to conserve a bit of strength.

He looked towards Chuzheng against the light, “Are you satisfied with the show you’ve watched?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The young man’s lips curled into a faint smile; despite his exquisite features being smudged with blood, it did nothing to detract from his attractiveness.

“`

Like a rose growing in the blood, it blossomed brilliantly in the dark.

Chuzheng stood three meters away from the boy, seriously answering Jiang Ye’s question, “I’m alright.”

The boy’s eyes were deep, “I haven’t satisfied you, it seems I need to try a bit harder.”

Chuzheng continued to walk forward.

A sense of alertness rose in the boy’s heart.

This woman, who was able to strip Sheng Ting naked and throw him in the restroom so calmly before, may well do something else now.

He no longer had the strength to fight so many people now.

Chuzheng walked up to him, and the boy gripped the knife in his hand tightly.

The dim light from the street lamp shone on the girl’s cool and beautiful profile as she slightly parted her lips, “Are you okay?”

“…”

Does he look okay?

Jiang Ye just smiled and said nothing.

“Where do you live? I’ll take you home,” Chuzheng offered when Jiang Ye did not respond, once again asking in a frosty tone.

Jiang Ye’s brows furrowed slightly.

“No need to trouble yourself.”

Uncertain of what the girl in front of him intended to do, Jiang Ye dared not reveal anything rashly.

“Okay.”

Chuzheng eyed him for a few moments, seeing that he apparently wouldn’t die for the time being.

Chuzheng turned to leave.

[Miss, are you sure?] the voice from King’s Account sounded in despair.

That’s what he said himself.

It has nothing to do with me!

Go home and sleep!

[Miss!!] King’s Account roared in despair as usual, [Are you serious? Look at him, he’s about to give out any moment! You need to be a good person!! How can you just leave him there!]

Then I’ll call 120 for him.

[…] King’s Account calmed down, [Miss, how can you do something so outrageously cruel without batting an eye?]

Chuzheng: “…”

Am I doing something wrong?

He’s been stabbed; only 120 can save him.

I’m not a doctor!

[Even if you’re right, shouldn’t you stay? Otherwise, how would people see you as a good person!?]

Chuzheng: “…”

It’s such a hassle.

Just get rid of it.

“What are you doing?” Jiang Ye asked warily as he saw Chuzheng take out her phone.

“Calling 120.”

Dizzy from the blood loss, Jiang Ye was struggling to remain standing.

“Don’t call.”

Chuzheng turned to look at him, walked back, squatted down, and with a poker-face, poked his abdomen with a whitened finger, “You’re wounded, you’ll die.”

Jiang Ye almost fainted from being poked.

Poke him twice more, and he’d really die!

Jiang Ye clenched his teeth, “If you call 120, I’ll die even faster.”

Chuzheng had already pressed 12, just short of one more 0, and stopped when she heard him.

Jiang Ye looked at the girl squatting in front of him, wondering what she was pondering.

After her contemplation, she continued pressing.

Jiang Ye didn’t see what she pressed, but instinctively reached out to snatch the phone away.

Chuzheng raised her hand to block him, but being much weaker, Jiang Ye ended up pushing her over instead.

Chuzheng fell into a pool of blood.

Without a thought, she kicked Jiang Ye away and jumped up.

Her foot hurt so much…

Suppressing the urge to hold her foot, Chuzheng looked down at Jiang Ye on the ground.

Has the Good Person Card gone mad? Suddenly pouncing on her!

“…”

Why isn’t he moving?
