Zhu Ren was in a very good mood at the moment. His family background was not good and he had to rely on other peopleâs financial support to finish his studies. For so many years, he had been working for others. There were leaders above and disciples below. He had never been happy for a day.
The leader was an old man who would only keep finding trouble for him, and his little disciple would steal his credit. This made him very unhappy.
However, what he could not tolerate the most was Tao Zhiâs arrival. Tao Zhi was smarter than him, more handsome than him, and more popular than him. Every time he saw Tao Zhi, he wanted to kill Tao Zhi.
Now, Tao Zhiâs sister and wife were in his hands. They had to do whatever he wanted them to do. If they didnât listen, he could break their legs or even kill them. He liked the feeling of controlling others. Only by controlling others and obtaining endless money could he feel happy and at ease.
âHurry up. If you donât send the instant noodles over, youâll starve to death.â Zhu Ren impatiently urged Tan Rou, âYouâre indeed a young lady. Youâre so slow when doing such a small thing. However, your face is quite beautiful. It suits my taste.â
Tan Rou had a gentle smile on her face. âReally? That would be my honor.â
Zhu Ren waved her over. âThe lights here are too dim. Come closer and let me take a good look at your face.â
Tan Rou walked over with the bowl of instant noodles in her hands. However, she glanced at Tian Tian from the corner of her eyes. When she saw that Tian Tianâs face had regained some color, she felt relieved.
âI heard that youâre already engaged. Your marriage partner is the head of the Zhuang family in the Capital, right?â Zhu Ren was still rambling on.
At this moment, Tan Rou had already walked to his side. When she heard him ask about her engagement, she smiled. âYesâ¦. but what does this have to do with you?â
Zhu Ren was very dissatisfied with her attitude. âWhy are you so arrogant?! Now that youâre in my hands, youâll do whatever I tell you to do. Hurry up and feed me the noodles!â
Tan Rou did not do as he said. Instead, she weighed the bowl of instant noodles in her hand. âYou know what? In my eyes, your actions are courting death.â
Zhu Ren glared at him. âYou dare to resist me?â As he spoke, he was about to shoot Tan Rou.
Tan Rou wouldnât give him a chance to hold a gun. She immediately placed the steaming bowl of instant noodles on Zhu Renâs head. The hot water was about too degrees Celsius. The instant noodles water flowed down Zhu Renâs hair and burned his face red.
Zhu Ren didnât have time to dodge. He quickly took the bowl of instant noodles and covered his face and head. âItâs hot! Itâs hot! Give me icewater!â
He studied pharmaceutics, so he naturally knew that he had to use ice water to apply a cold compress after being scalded. Therefore, he closed his eyes and ran to the tap, wanting to use the cold water to wash away the heat on his body.
Why would Tan Rou give him the chance? She kicked Zhu Ren to the wall and picked up the pistol on the table. After unlocking the safety, she fired two shots at Zhu Renâs legs. Her shot was very accurate. It hit the knee without missing at all.
Zhu Renâs scream immediately came from the house. In this desolate old village, this kind of scream was really too scary.
Tian Tian, who witnessed the scene with her own eyes, was so scared that she almost fainted. She had seen Tan Rou and a murderer fight with guns, but she had never seen Tan Rou shoot a gun, nor had she seen blood come out of her body.
Fresh blood gushed out like a small fountain and they were flowing non stop!
âDonât look.â Tan Rou only noticed Tian Tianâs condition after she was done. âItâs too dirty here. Close your eyes quickly. Big Brother and the rest are outside. They will probably come over soon after hearing the gunshots.â
Tian Tian closed her eyes silently. She was tired, cold and hungry. Now, she could finally have a good rest.
Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi could not sit still after hearing the gunshots upstairs. They ignored the policeâs objections and rushed up as fast as they could.
Tan Rou and Tian Tian were sitting on the chairs. Tian Tian had fainted, so Tan Rou was hugging her. She seemed to be very afraid.
âXiao Rou! Are you hurt?â Zhuang Liu threw himself in front of Tan Rou and asked with a trembling voice.
Tan Rou smiled at him. âIâm fine.â
Tao Zhi took Tian Tian from her arms. âWhatâs wrong with Tian Tian?â
Tan Rou said, âShe fainted from hunger. Quickly bring her home.â
