I'm a Law-Abiding Citizen

Faced with Sister Hua's merciless gunfire, the remaining two men were dumbfounded.

They had expected that this hijacking might mean certain death, but when Sister Hua said there was a chance to survive, their resolve to die wavered.

Watching Sister Hua's methods, Xiao Wang realized that she, too, was an expert in psychological warfare. She had killed four of them first to make them understand that this was no game.

Then she had left two alive, placing life and death at the mercy of a single thought.

Unless someone truly did not care about their own life, no one could resist such temptation at a time like this.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

The two scrambled to speak first.

Sister Hua pointed her gun at one man's head and asked the other, "Talk."

The man let out a long breath, then said, "It was the Red Dragon Gang."

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Sister Hua pulled the trigger.

One shot, one kill.

The man who had named the Red Dragon Gang let out a long breath of relief, but then—

Bang!

A bullet passed through his skull as well.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes still holding a trace of confusion.

After dealing with those men, Sister Hua rose to her feet. "Clean this up and get moving. We don't know whether there's a second group following us."

After disposing of the bodies, they quickly cleared the road in front of the trucks, got back in, and continued onward.

A light rain began drifting down from the sky again, with signs that it would grow heavier.

Xiao Wang sat at the side of the cab while Sister Hua returned to the middle seat.

A Qiang was still driving.

"Brother, you're seriously fierce. I've made so many deliveries and seen plenty of people, but you're the first one I've ever met who fights like he doesn't care whether he lives or dies," A Qiang said to Xiao Wang as he drove.

At that moment, Xiao Wang was looking at the bead in his mind. Its color was slowly deepening, while at the same time, he could feel the pain in his body fading. He could also clearly sense that the wound from the stab was healing rapidly.

"You flatter me, Brother Qiang. I was just doing my job for the money and fulfilling my duties."

"Heh, everyone does it for money, but I doubt there's anyone else besides you who can do it like this."

Sister Hua turned to look at Xiao Wang. "Thank you. You saved me twice today."

"You're too polite, Sister Hua. I took your money, so naturally I had to do the job properly."

The vehicle began jolting again. Taking advantage of the motion, Sister Hua leaned against Xiao Wang. "Getting paid to deliver goods is one thing. But saving my life twice should be calculated separately."

Hearing that, Xiao Wang turned to look at Sister Hua. Her soft breasts were pressed against his arm. "I merely acted as the situation required. Sister Hua, you needn't take it to heart."

Sister Hua's lips curved slightly at his words, and she asked, "Are your injuries really all right? The way you fought just now—I've never seen anything like it."

"I'm fine. They're only minor injuries; I'll recover in a few days. When enemies meet on a narrow road, the braver side wins. The more you cling to your life, the more the other side will want you dead."

Xiao Wang made it up.

"And why did you save Xiang Menqing just now? Hadn't he been targeting you from the very beginning?"

Xiao Wang smiled inwardly.

Wasn't that partly thanks to you?

Naturally, he did not say that aloud. Instead, he said, "Who knows whether we'll run into more enemies ahead? One more person means one more bit of strength. As for those who use guns looking down on those of us who practice martial arts, that's nothing new."

Only after saying it did Xiao Wang realize that Sister Hua and A Qiang used guns too. "Sorry, Sister Hua, Brother Qiang. I wasn't referring to you two."

"Hey, it's fine, brother. I don't think that way, though I know plenty of people do."

"You don't think that way?" Xiao Wang asked A Qiang.

"Of course not. Guns are useful, but in close combat, martial arts are practically irreplaceable. Brother, with the way you fought just now, no gun would've done much good. Also, you know Deputy Captain Wen Lujia from the Patrol Bureau, right?"

"I've heard of her."

"I'm telling you, she's already broken through the first limit of martial arts. Her combat power is terrifying. They say ordinary martial artists are limited to seven steps—outside seven steps, guns are faster; within seven steps, blades are faster. But I'm telling you, for Captain Wen, that boundary goes far beyond seven steps. Let me give you a piece of advice: if you ever get into trouble and see her, stay far away."

"Don't joke around, Brother Qiang. I'm a law-abiding citizen of Mount Yuan City's outer district."

A Qiang: ...

Sister Hua: ...

By then, the heavy rain had begun falling, and the vehicles grew even bumpier.

After the battle just now, Sister Hua no longer seemed as unfamiliar with him as before. She shifted her entire body closer to Xiao Wang.

Meanwhile, in the other two cabs, they were discussing Xiao Wang as well.

As Zhang Jian drove, he smiled at Linghu Ke beside him. "Your junior brother's making his first delivery, right?"

"Yeah, his first time. He said it was also his first time leaving the city."

"Damn, he's really fierce. With the way he was just now, the two of us might not even be his match. He fights like he has no regard for his life."

"It was his first time. He was probably nervous," Linghu Ke replied.

It was also the first time he had seen Xiao Wang fight like that.

In the third vehicle, Ding Hanlin was driving while Xiang Menqing leaned against the seatback, hissing through his teeth. Although his broken elbow had received simple treatment, the pain had not lessened in the slightest.

"If it hadn't been for that kid just now, you'd probably be dead already."

"I admit I underestimated him before. But if we hadn't been attacked from both sides today, what could two martial artists do? Just two bullets would've settled them."

As Ding Hanlin drove, he thought for a moment before saying, "That does make some sense. If we hadn't been attacked from both sides and the formation hadn't been thrown into chaos, two martial artists really wouldn't have been much. But did you see how that kid fought? He really doesn't care about his life. So it'd be best to provoke him less from now on."

Xiang Menqing said nothing. He merely looked at the vehicle ahead, where Sister Hua and Xiao Wang were seated.

Ding Hanlin added, "And stop getting ideas about Sister Hua. She's not a woman you can handle."

It was as if one of Xiang Menqing's secrets had been exposed. "Who said I wanted to handle Sister Hua?"

"Better not. You saw what she did, didn't you? Provoking her may be even more dangerous than provoking those hijackers."

The heavy rain continued to fall, and the convoy continued onward.

Sister Hua naturally leaned against Xiao Wang's arm. As the truck bounced along, her soft body pressed against him.

After a full ten hours, the convoy finally reached its destination: Jinheng Town.

Once the people on the other end had unloaded the goods, another hour had passed, and night had fallen.

"We'll stay here tonight to rest and recover. We'll head back tomorrow morning."

After Sister Hua made the arrangements, everyone washed up, ate, rested, and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, everyone got up at eight. Strands of sunlight fell across the ground, a complete change from yesterday's torrential rain.

The entire convoy took only half a day to return to Mount Yuan City's outer district.

They returned to the warehouse room where they had gathered before setting out.

Sister Hua sat on the main sofa, while the others took the same seats as before. After giving each person 5,000 Federation dollars, she gave them an additional 500.

"Everyone worked hard this time. I hope we can continue working together next time."

"Thank you, Sister Hua."

"Thank you, Sister Hua."

After collecting their money, everyone rose one by one and said their goodbyes.

Holding his money, Xiao Wang exchanged farewells and followed behind Linghu Ke toward the door.

But just then, Sister Hua called out, "Xiao Wang, stay behind."
