Lin Jiatao Makes His Move

"We can get down to our business now..." Su Rui got into the car, glanced at his watch, and said with a smile, "There's still time."

Su Rui's smile was dazzling.

Looking at the six Share Transfer Agreements laid out before her, Li Ruobing felt as if she were in a daze.

It didn't feel real.

It was far too unreal.

Three million, for twenty percent of Mingzhu Company's shares.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought she was dreaming.

"You..." Li Ruobing truly did not know what to say to express the shock and unease in her heart.

"What is it?" Su Rui tilted his head. He understood Li Ruobing's thoughts perfectly and deliberately smiled. "Does it feel like all this is some kind of fairy tale?"

"A beautiful Princess encounters danger. A handsome Prince wields a sharp blade and wipes out the enemies in an instant. Then the Princess offers herself to him... It's a fine story." Li Ruobing's brows and eyes were picturesque, but her voice was imposing. "Unfortunately, I'm not a Princess. I'm a Queen."

Su Rui laughed helplessly.

"A Queen... still needs to marry someday. And you are destined to belong to me alone." Smiling, Su Rui took Li Ruobing's fingertips in his right hand with utmost gentlemanly grace. Breathing in her delicate fragrance, he invited, "May I ask whether Her Majesty the Queen would be interested in having dinner with me?"

"Your sincerity is acceptable." The corners of Li Ruobing's lips lifted slightly. "I accept your invitation."

They said nothing along the way...

Outside the Ritz-Carlton.

The Pagani slowly came to a stop.

Su Rui pushed open the car door and was just about to take Li Ruobing by the arm.

Suddenly, the harsh screech of tires rang out.

In the distance.

Two GL8s charged over in an exceptionally overbearing manner, cutting directly in front of and behind the Pagani, completely blocking its way out.

The Car Doors opened, and more than a dozen burly young men in immaculate suits jumped out. Their movements were agile, and their faces were filled with coldness.

What drew particular attention was the bulge at their waists. They were clearly carrying weapons.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time." The dozen or so fierce-looking young men quickly surrounded Su Rui and Li Ruobing. Four or five of them aggressively blocked Su Rui's retreat, their right hands slipping toward their waists in an unmistakable threat.

Their movements were practiced and carried an Iron-Blooded air. Thick calluses covered the webbing between their thumbs and forefingers.

Those were marks left only by frequent gun use.

Their leader was a Flat-top Youth around thirty. He had an indifferent expression, a muscular build, and stood nearly six foot three. At first glance, he looked somewhat like Jet Li in The Bodyguard from Beijing.

He had a vicious aura.

Li Ruobing frowned. This scene was not enough to frighten her. As the eldest daughter of the Li family, everything she had seen and experienced since childhood had tempered her will into something exceptionally resolute.

"Who are you people?" There was a chilling authority in Li Ruobing's voice as she stared into the Flat-top Youth's eyes. "Who sent you?"

The Flat-top Youth glanced at Li Ruobing but ignored her. Instead, he looked calmly at Su Rui. "Someone gave the word. Come with us."

Su Rui narrowed his eyes and took a step to the right, subtly shielding Li Ruobing behind him. There was not the slightest trace of tension on his face.

"What if I refuse?"

He knew very well whose men these Black-Clothed Youths were.

In this life, he had only beaten Lin Tianyou badly last night. Other than that, he had not offended anyone at all.

The identity he had given Lin Jiatao last night was false. A simple investigation would quickly uncover his real identity.

Su Rui simply had not expected the Lin family to come so quickly.

And their timing made Su Rui very unhappy.

He had been about to have dinner with Li Ruobing and was in a wonderful mood. Then a group of people suddenly appeared to ruin things. No one would be pleased by that.

"Then we'll break your legs and carry you there." The Flat-top Youth's gaze turned cold.

The Flat-top Youth's tone was not Ice Cold. It was extremely calm, but that only made him seem more frightening.

A dog that truly dared to bite would not bark.

"You don't know who I am?" Li Ruobing's face turned Ice Cold. In Tongzhou City, someone actually dared to block her and try to take her person away by such means. It was simply an insult. "Get lost!"

The Flat-top Youth shook his head indifferently. "The boss pays, and we do the job. We don't need to know anyone besides the target."

Direct and decisive, with ruthless methods.

Li Ruobing gave a cold laugh and took out her phone. In Tongzhou City, there really were not many people qualified to stand in her way.

Forget Lin Jiatao's subordinates—even if Lin Jiatao himself came, he would have to treat her as an equal!

Slap! Seeing Li Ruobing take out her phone, one of the young men immediately reached for her. "We're carrying out orders. Don't make this difficult for us!"

Though he said that, his hand showed no mercy. His fingers formed an Eagle Claw as he pressed down toward Li Ruobing's wrist.

If that grip landed, Li Ruobing's arm bone would need at least three months to heal.

Wind howled past her ears.

Li Ruobing watched the clawed fist draw closer and closer to her, her pupils constricted.

But the claw stopped abruptly less than three centimeters from that exquisite face.

Crack! Su Rui's expression was blank as his steel-like fingers clamped onto the Flat-top Youth's arm. Like iron pincers, he twisted with the leverage—and forcibly broke the man's entire arm!

The joints twisted grotesquely, and jagged bone spikes tore through the muscle and skin, exposed to the air!

This was no ordinary fracture.

The young man's entire arm was completely ruined! The excruciating pain made him pass out on the spot!

"..." The leader, the Flat-top Youth, suddenly changed expression. Astonished flickered in his eyes, yet he waved a hand and said, "Get him!"

Seven or eight Suit-wearing Young Men immediately moved as one, pulling long sticks and Short Blades from behind their waists. Like a wolf pack hunting prey, they surged toward Su Rui.

But the outcome was much the same. No one could get within a meter of Su Rui.

Boom!

Crash!

In less than two minutes, the last young man to attack fell to the ground wailing.

This was a complete and utter one-sided slaughter!

In Li Ruobing's eyes, those burly young men did not even have room to fight back. The moment they made contact, they were dealt with cleanly and decisively. Su Rui's methods were exceptionally ruthless; once he struck, none of them had a chance to stand up a second time.
