Jin Chengyan's expression suddenly turned serious as his foot pressed down on the accelerator, his gaze fixed on a narrow opening ahead, barely two meters wide.
If he had to break through this encirclement, it was certainly possible given the performance of his car. He had faced similar situations before.
In fact, he had encountered even more dangerous scenarios, navigating through blades and fire alongside A Shan, experiencing everything imaginable. However, now...
Jin Chengyan glanced at the woman beside him, hesitating. He didn't want to put her in danger.
He had no doubt that the people outside were armed. The car he was driving was not bulletproof, and if someone accidentally fired a gun... Jin Chengyan couldn't bear to imagine such a thing happening.
He couldn't let Qiao Nuo be exposed to any danger.
The car came to a halt.
Qiao Nuo turned around to look at Jin Chengyan as he unbuckled his seatbelt.
She knew he had called A Shan for help, but it would take some time for A Shan to arrive. The people outside didn’t seem like pushovers; they looked like they were sent by Liu Mingzhang. Was Jin Chengyan really going to surrender himself?
"Stay in the car, lock the doors, and no matter what happens, don't come out!" Jin Chengyan left the car keys on the dashboard. "If you get the chance, drive away."
Qiao Nuo was momentarily stunned. Was Jin Chengyan telling her to leave?
"You..." At that moment, her thoughts were a whirlwind; she couldn't understand Jin Chengyan.
Just moments ago, he had pulled her out of the police station with such anger, all for Ruan Shengyu. And now, when facing those people, he was willing to take it all upon himself!
Liu Mingzhang's men had already gotten out of their cars, four men descending from each vehicle. They were dressed like thugs—ripped jeans, leather jackets, and hair slicked back with so much gel it made her uncomfortable just looking at them.
Qiao Nuo knew these men were coming for her!
She stubbornly brought Ruan Shengyu to the police station!
"My problems, I will solve them myself!" With that, Qiao Nuo opened the car door and stepped out first.
Jin Chengyan quickly grabbed Qiao Nuo's arm, pulling her back into the car.
"Qiao Nuo! Can you please not make me worry so much about you? Do you really think you can handle Liu Mingzhang on your own?"
"So you want me to just swallow my anger?" Qiao Nuo retorted. Was she really supposed to let Liu Mingzhang ride on her neck?
No, Liu Mingzhang wasn’t just riding on Jin Chengyan’s neck; he was riding on Qiao Nuo’s!
He was targeting Qiao Nuo, testing how far Jin Chengyan would go for her!
But what he could do was limited!
Qiao Nuo shook off Jin Chengyan’s grip, got out of the car, and slammed the door shut.
Jin Chengyan frowned and immediately got out, walking around the front of the car to stand beside Qiao Nuo, facing Liu Mingzhang and his gang of troublemakers.
The thugs whistled at Qiao Nuo, their eyes filled with various taunts.
Qiao Nuo was already beautiful, and with her light makeup, the cold expression on her face made her even more stunning, captivating the attention of many men around them.
Jin Chengyan had always hoped that Qiao Nuo's beauty wouldn’t attract unwanted attention, especially from these lowlifes. But now, she was alone and had little chance of winning against them!
To protect Qiao Nuo from being at a disadvantage, Jin Chengyan could only shield her behind him.
“Who are you?” Jin Chengyan said coldly. In Qin Cheng, no one had dared to so brazenly corner the Jin Family Young Master on this desolate path. What did they want?
The people from Qin Cheng didn’t dare to act, so it must have been the newcomer who had just arrived in Qin Cheng!
“Bring your boss out. Don’t have the guts to act but lack the courage to admit it!” Jin Chengyan glared at one of the cars where a figure remained seated, looking strikingly like Liu Mingzhang.
However, the thugs ignored Jin Chengyan and instead leered openly at Qiao Nuo!
Jin Chengyan felt an intense urge to gouge out their eyes. What were they staring at? Had they never seen a beautiful woman before?
He glanced at his watch. How long did it take for A Shan to mobilize?
Facing over twenty people, Jin Chengyan felt pressure mounting! He grasped Qiao Nuo’s hand and noticed it was icy cold, perhaps due to the weather or because she was frightened by the scene.
“Don’t be afraid,” he whispered reassuringly.
Qiao Nuo looked at Jin Chengyan, utterly confused by him. One moment he could shout at her, and the next he would tenderly comfort her, shielding her protectively behind him!
At that moment, the person who had remained in the car finally stepped out slowly. He donned a coat handed to him by his subordinate and held a handkerchief over his mouth, clearly uncomfortable in such a place.
With his appearance, the thugs automatically parted to make way, respectfully calling him their boss.
However, this person was not Liu Mingzhang.
Jin Chengyan frowned.
It was Ye Ling Tian.
Recently, a collaboration project with an overseas group saw Jin take the lead without a doubt, snatching the opportunity from the Ye Family.
It’s possible that there had been longstanding grievances between the two parties.
But where did Ye Ling Tian find these thugs?
Thinking about it, these people are ultimately connected to Liu Mingzhang!
Surrounded by enemies, this is exactly the situation Jin Chengyan finds himself in!
He felt as if he were being restrained, unable to fully unleash his potential. With troubles both inside and out, even breathing became difficult! He really wanted to resolve all these issues at once!
“Jin Shao, what a coincidence to run into you here,” Ye Ling Tian remarked. As the current head of the Ye Family, he appeared to be in his thirties, but his health had always been frail, and he was known for his cunning and treachery.
If he were in good health, he would have likely caused quite a stir in Qin Cheng by now!
Jin Chengyan cast a casual glance at Ye Ling Tian and sighed in relief; as long as Liu Mingzhang wasn’t involved, Qiao Nuo should be safe for now.
However, this matter was directed at him, and it inevitably implicated Qiao Nuo!
“It’s so cold outside. Why aren’t you staying home where it’s warm? You might end up in the emergency room again tomorrow! Your whole family will worry about you! This is not how a junior should behave,” Jin Chengyan retorted confidently, despite being outnumbered.
Ye Ling Tian shot a cold glance at Jin Chengyan. His icy expression revealed no hint of emotion, and his pale face seemed even more ghostly against the backdrop of the frigid weather.
Qiao Nuo couldn’t help but worry that if the wind picked up any more, this man might need to be rushed to the emergency room.
However, Ye Ling Tian didn’t seem to care much about that. With just a glance, his subordinates produced a contract. He glanced at it and said, “Sometimes I have to resort to special measures. You know that last time’s collaboration was initiated by your Jin family’s lack of consideration. Don’t blame me for being ruthless now. Sign this, and you and your wife can leave safely today. Otherwise…”
Upon hearing Ye Ling Tian's words, the thugs surrounding Jin Chengyan and Qiao Nuo brandished their knives, ready to strike at any moment.
Jin Chengyan felt Qiao Nuo instinctively lean closer to him.
In the face of life and death, Qiao Nuo chose to trust Jin Chengyan without hesitation.
"Has your Ye Family really fallen so low that you have to resort to such tactics to secure a deal?" Jin Chengyan scoffed coldly. He could only buy time, hoping A Shan would arrive soon to help them out of this predicament.
"Don't try to provoke me with words. Now that you've chosen this path, do you really think I would show mercy?" Ye Ling Tian waved his hand, and several thugs surged forward.
Each of them wielded a knife, and Jin Chengyan had no idea if they were armed with guns as well. If they attacked now, there would be no escape for either him or Qiao Nuo!
"Ye Ling Tian! Do you know what will happen if you touch me?" Jin Chengyan pointed at Ye Ling Tian, positioning Qiao Nuo behind him for protection.
"I certainly do," Ye Ling Tian replied dismissively. "That's why I'm going after your wife!" With a command, the thugs with knives threatened Jin Chengyan, their blades seemingly poised to pierce his heart.
"Don't touch him!" For reasons unknown, Qiao Nuo suddenly shouted!
Her voice was sharp, and as she stepped forward, she pushed Jin Chengyan aside, exposing herself entirely to the threat of the knives!
"Qiao Nuo!" By the time Jin Chengyan reacted, Qiao Nuo had already been seized by the thugs and brought before Ye Ling Tian!
Jin Chengyan attempted to move forward, but seven or eight men quickly surrounded him, pressing their blades against his chin. He could feel the cold steel threateningly close; one more step forward and he would surely bleed.
Seeing Jin Chengyan in such a perilous situation made Qiao Nuo's heart ache. Why had it come to this? Why was she more concerned about his life than her own?
It must be… love!
Jin Chengyan's heart was not untouched by the shock!
In that dangerous moment, before he could even prepare for the next step, Qiao Nuo had already rushed out, recklessly standing in front of him!
At that moment, there was a life-threatening danger; if anything went wrong, she would never see her brother again and would fail to fulfill her dreams!
Yet, she stepped forward and stood in front of him!
He watched as Qiao Nuo was captured by those people, feeling utterly powerless to fight back!
“Qiao Nuo, I’ve never seen a woman shield a man from all danger before! I respect you as a heroine. How about this: come with me, and I’ll let him go. What do you say?” Ye Ling Tian leaned closer to Qiao Nuo, lifting her chin with a cruel smile.
Qiao Nuo turned her head away, freeing her chin from his grasp!
“I advise you to know when to stop. You know whose territory Qin Cheng is!” Qiao Nuo said coldly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jin Chengyan; he had a knife pressed against his chin. She was actually terrified—what if those people were reckless and hurt him?
“Then teach me what it means to know when to stop,” Ye Ling Tian said, grabbing Qiao Nuo's chin again with a strength that belied his sickly appearance. He then leaned in and kissed her lips!
Jin Chengyan felt as if his mind had exploded!
This Ye Ling Tian was utterly lawless, shamelessly taking advantage of Qiao Nuo right in front of him!
Did he think he was just a decoration?
“Ye Ling Tian, let Qiao Nuo go! If you touch her again, I swear I’ll make your whole family pay!” Jin Chengyan shouted, trying to break through the encirclement. However, those thugs mercilessly stabbed a knife into his arm!
Blood immediately gushed out!
“Ugh…” Jin Chengyan gritted his teeth against the pain in his arm, determined to push forward. There was no way he could stand by and watch Qiao Nuo be defiled by that bastard Ye Ling Tian!
More fists and kicks rained down upon him!
With Ye Ling Tian gripping her chin and her limbs restrained, Qiao Nuo was utterly powerless to fight back!
She could hear the sounds of the struggle, or rather, the sound of Jin Chengyan being beaten!
Without a moment's hesitation, Qiao Nuo bit down hard on the tongue that had slipped into her mouth!
Blood immediately filled their mouths, forcing Ye Ling Tian to release her. He grabbed her hair and leaned in close, nearly pressing his face against hers.
“Baby, are you this violent in bed too?”
“Get lost!” Qiao Nuo glared at Ye Ling Tian. The tugging on her hair was painful, but she saw Jin Chengyan being restrained as he rushed to save her, blood streaming from his arm!
Jin Chengyan…
Ye Ling Tian actually listened to Qiao Nuo’s words and let go of her hair, stepping closer to Jin Chengyan.
He tossed a document onto Jin Chengyan’s lap. “Jin Shao, today is just a little lesson for you. You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have! If Miss Ruan doesn’t manage to get out of the police station in three days, your precious wife might just become someone else's plaything.”
So it was arranged by Liu Mingzhang!
“Boss, there’s a car coming!” one of his subordinates rushed over to Ye Ling Tian and whispered.
Ye Ling Tian had achieved his goal for today. With a wave of his hand, his men released Jin Chengyan!
Blood was flowing from his arm, and he had multiple bruises on his body. He was barely holding on with the last of his strength, refusing to fall.
A Shan had arrived!
Moreover, along with A Shan came another team that blocked Ye Ling Tian and his group’s escape route!
Xiao Yuanshan’s team!
On one side was a dark mass of vehicles, while on the other were cars blaring sirens; even the Flying Tigers had been deployed!
A Shan was the first to step out of the car. His men formed a blockade on one side, while Xiao Yuanshan's team disembarked from the other, each armed with standard-issue guns, pointing them at the people trapped in the middle!
“Ye Ling Tian, have your people put down their weapons and cooperate with us! We suspect you are involved in a brawl. Please come back to the police station with us!” Xiao Yuanshan announced through a loudspeaker on this one-way street.
Ye Ling Tian immediately raised both hands in response, saying, “Xiao Yuanshan, you must have misunderstood. I was just passing by and saw Jin Family Young Master being bullied by these thugs. I couldn’t stand by and do nothing! Who would have thought that Jin Family Young Master would leave without a bodyguard, giving these people an opportunity!”
Ye Ling Tian raised an eyebrow at Xiao Yuanshan.
With his own people arriving, Jin Chengyan took note and freed himself from their restraints. Even though they still had knives in hand, Jin Chengyan rushed over and pulled Qiao Nuo from their grasp, pressing her tightly into his embrace.
“It’s okay now!” Jin Chengyan whispered soothingly.
But it was clear that the one who needed reassurance was Jin Chengyan himself.
“Your hand!” Qiao Nuo exclaimed as she placed her hand on Jin Chengyan's arm, instantly staining it red!
The situation was quickly brought under control as Xiao Yuanshan’s men arrested the troublemaking thugs and loaded them into police cars, leaving only Ye Ling Tian behind! Then, all the officers got into their vehicles while Xiao Yuanshan, who wasn’t even in uniform, watched as Ye Ling Tian was surrounded by A Shan and his men!
The situation changed too quickly!
“Xiao Yuanshan, are you really going to stand by and do nothing? Does that badge on your chest mean nothing to you?” Ye Ling Tian knew that A Shan's people would come; he had already arranged an escape route. He never expected that even Xiao Yuanshan would show up.
Shouldn't Xiao Yuanshan be one of Yan Beiting's people?
At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan merely touched his nose, wearing an expression that said he saw nothing. He turned around and directed the police cars to back up, causing all the vehicles to turn their rear ends toward them and drive away!
“It’s five o’clock; I’m off work!” Turning back, Xiao Yuanshan pointed at his watch and gave a harmless smile.
“However, be gentle with him. Ye Ling Tian is notoriously frail; I wouldn’t want him to be unable to get up before reaching the station. That would be hard for me to explain!” Xiao Yuanshan casually instructed.
A Shan and his group saw their young master being wronged. If they simply sent him off to the police station like this, how could they possibly quell their anger?
“You’re just ganging up on the weak,” Ye Ling Tian shrugged, not particularly bothered.
But who was it that had just ganged up on the weak?
Jin Chengyan released Qiao Nuo and raised his hand to touch her lips!
Someone had touched her here!
So, he needed to disinfect her!
After a lingering gaze, Jin Chengyan leaned down and kissed her.
Qiao Nuo still had a faint metallic taste of blood in her mouth as Jin Chengyan pried open her lips, slipping his tongue inside, swirling around hers while his tongue explored every inch of her mouth!
Qiao Nuo felt her mind go completely blank!
There were so many people here, yet Jin Chengyan didn’t care about anything, didn’t think about anything, and just kissed her like that, even using his tongue!
But he was injured!
Yet he was so forceful, using his uninjured hand to grip the back of her head and pull her towards him.
It wasn’t until her lips turned a slight shade of red, until he felt that every inch of her mouth was clean, that he finally let her go.
“You can only be mine.”
Look at how domineering that declaration was.
Qiao Nuo stood there in a daze, watching as a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Jin Chengyan’s mouth. Then he turned around and returned the favor to Ye Ling Tian, personally taking action to beat him up badly, worse than the injuries he himself had sustained.
Then he said, “I just like to see many people bully the few.”
