Tears streamed down Gao Man’s face, who never expected to encounter such an event. As she struggled to shake her head to avoid it, she couldn’t escape the grip. As a towel covered her face and she tried to hold her breath, it was utterly meaningless.
In just a moment, she felt her eyes blur, and the panic inside made her strive to stay awake. She knew that once she fell asleep, when she awakened, she might be ruined. But as more and more anesthetics were inhaled, her eyes, which she tried to keep wide open, were about to close.
Suddenly, she felt the ground shake tremendously, and then she fell to the ground, powerless. Through the haze, she saw a familiar face—it was Lin Fan, who stood in front of her holding a piece of rebar.
This Cheng Yaojin, who appeared out of nowhere, startled Huzi and others. Seeing the blood stained on the rebar in his hand, and having just appeared from nowhere, he had immediately knocked down a fat man weighing over three hundred pounds. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Kid, dare to mess with my woman, tired of living, aren’t you? Don’t you know who rules this area? Don’t obey the rules here, believe it or not, I’ll kill you!"
Glancing at Gao Man lying on the ground motionless, Lin Fan, who couldn’t immediately escape, could only clench the rebar and stand there, cursing continuously, which indeed intimidated them.
"You... who the hell are you, fuck, trying to play the hero?"
Huzi and the others, stunned for a while, immediately grabbed their weapons and gathered around again. They had been here for a while and had never seen Lin Fan. From his clothes, he didn’t look like he belonged to their ’world,’ not even a single tattoo, how could he possibly intimidate them.
"I advise you to get lost quickly, or else I’ll turn hostile!"
Lin Fan lifted the rebar, pointing at the group of young men in front of him and yelled. If it came to a fight, he was definitely not a match, but he couldn’t run away at this moment, or Gao Man would be in trouble.
"Turn hostile... who the fuck do you think you are!"
Clearly, Lin Fan’s appearance was not intimidating. Seeing Huzi and others charge at him, Lin Fan could only harden his heart and prepare to fight desperately with the rebar in his hand. At this moment, he even thought of the headline for tomorrow’s morning paper.
Vice Secretary of Lotus Town Lin Fan, witnessing injustice, heroically fights criminals, suffers more than ten knife wounds and dies despite efforts to save him!
Just as Lin Fan was swinging the rebar, ready to fight to the death, the ten plus people who originally charged at him with knives suddenly changed their expression and turned to flee, as fast as the wind.
This stunned Lin Fan. He couldn’t help but look at his hand, "Fuck, could it be the ’imperial aura’ from the novels shielding me?"
While Lin Fan was still pondering whether some protagonist aura made him win without a fight, Wu Houbiao’s voice came from behind, "Mayor Lin, are you alright?"
Turning his head, Lin Fan saw more than a dozen burly men with tattoos covering their bodies and arms, approaching fast, and the leader, Wu Houbiao, hurried to Lin Fan’s side.
"I’m fine, I’m fine!"
Lin Fan then smiled and waved his hand, realizing that he had just unintentionally bluffed.
"I’m relieved... I heard about it on my way here. Mayor Lin’s heroic rescue was really cool."
Having been in the ’world’ for years, Wu Houbiao could instantly see the situation. After a glance at Gao Man lying unconscious on the ground, he said smilingly to Lin Fan, "But as a brother, I advise you, these kids are ruthless. Next time, let us handle it or just call the police."
"I wish I could, but there wasn’t time, or else why would I suffer just to save her?"
Lin Fan dropped the rebar and walked back to Gao Man’s side, looking at her tightly closed eyes and steady breathing, it seemed there was no serious issue.
"What should we do now?"
Seeing the fat man whose head was still bleeding but at least breathing, Wu Houbiao looked at Lin Fan. He was in the grey area, Lin Fan was in the white, so their methods of dealing differed, thus he needed to hear Lin Fan’s opinion.
"Just handle it as you see fit, after all, I came here to eat tonight, I don’t want any trouble."
Lin Fan didn’t know why Gao Man had risked her life to follow him here. If this matter involved the police, it would unavoidably be troublesome, and he didn’t want to be involved in this baffling situation.
"Okay, I’ll have someone deal with it. What about this woman?"
Wu Houbiao, a cunning fox, could see the close relationship between the two; otherwise, Lin Fan wouldn’t have rushed over without even hanging up the phone.
Lin Fan reached out and lifted the limp Gao Man, looking at the beautiful woman who was unconscious. If he did something now, wouldn’t it be at his mercy? Thinking of the transparent membrane still remaining in her Garden, if it wasn’t pierced all at once, it would truly be a waste.
