"Walk!"
Faced with gunfire, the long-legged beauty dared not linger. She grabbed Gu Chen by the back of his collar and leaped onto the roof. The houses at the foot of Xiaoxiang Peak were low wooden buildings, unlike the high-rises in the city. With Gu Chen in tow, the long-legged beauty leaped away from their original spot in a few quick bounds.
The gunfire ceased abruptly.
Looking at her companion's corpse on the ground, the scarred woman's face darkened, and she said grimly, "Notify the others, everyone go and search! Turn Xiaoxiang Peak upside down today, find him! Otherwise, you can prepare to meet Sixth Master Qin with your heads!"
These menacing words sent a chill down the spines of the remaining Venomous Snake Gang. They quickly got into their vehicles, revved the engines, and began their search for prey.
The long-legged beauty carried Gu Chen as they ran across the rooftops in the darkness. Their speed wasn't particularly fast, but it wasn't slow either. However, Gu Chen was quite heavy, and he wasn't exactly well-behaved. The long-legged beauty coldly said, "If you move again, I'll throw you off and let you die here."
"Heroine, no, no!"
Gu Chen quickly replied, "I'm just nervous! It's my first time flying, you'd be nervous too."
The long-legged beauty said, "Can I even call this flying?"
"Flying across rooftops and scaling walls, that's not really flying." Gu Chen nodded seriously, holding the long-legged beauty's slender waist even tighter, and said, "Don't leave me behind, or if those guys catch me, I'm dead."
"You!"
Helpless, the long-legged beauty looked down, found an alleyway to descend into, and then threw Gu Chen heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!" Gu Chen fell to the ground, rubbing his bottom, and said, "Miss, could you be a little gentler?"
"No way!" the long-legged beauty said coldly, "I thought you were tough when I saw you eating noodles, but I didn't expect you to be such a coward, so scared."
"That's because they have guns," Gu Chen consoled himself. "Otherwise, I would have taken care of them long ago."
"You know kung fu? It's just rudimentary, isn't it? Who can you take down?" The long-legged beauty stared at Gu Chen, her eyes full of disdain, and said, "If you were truly strong, you wouldn't care about ordinary firearms."
No wonder she looked down on him so much; this boy wasn't much older than her younger brother, and even if his cultivation was high, it wouldn't be much higher. He was just bragging to her.
"Alright, alright, the female warrior is the strongest and has the highest martial arts skills, okay?" Gu Chen said.
"I saved you, and this is your attitude?" the long-legged beauty said coldly.
Gu Chen thought about it and realized it made sense, so he said, "Thank you for saving my life, heroine. May I ask your name?"
"You don't need to know my name," the long-legged beauty said coldly. "You're not worthy to know."
Gu Chen was immediately enraged. This woman was beautiful, but her attitude was rather rude. However, compared to Zhou Xue'er, although the woman appeared arrogant, she was actually not a bad person; otherwise, she wouldn't have saved him.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen calmed down a bit. Perhaps it was just due to her upbringing that she developed this arrogant personality.
Gu Chen nodded and said, "In that case, let's part ways here."
"Etc."
The long-legged beauty grabbed Gu Chen again, saying, "Don't go yet, I have a question for you."
Gu Chen asked in surprise, "What's the problem?"
"What brings you to Xiaoxiang Peak?" the long-legged beauty asked. "Has something big happened around here?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen pretended to think for a moment and said, "I came here for tourism, but the earthquake was severe recently, so I didn't plan to go into the mountains. Heroine, you came here, don't you know the situation either?"
I don't know.
The long-legged beauty, unaware that Gu Chen was trying to trick her into revealing information, simply shook her head and coldly said, "I just happened to be passing by. If I wanted to know the truth, why would I be asking you?"
"That's true." Gu Chen said, "Can I leave now?"
"You can't leave," the long-legged beauty said. "I saved you, and this is how you repay me?"
"Then what do you want me to do?" Gu Chen said, "You can't expect me to repay you with my body, can you?"
"Looking for death?" A sharp glint flashed in the long-legged beauty's eyes; she was utterly disgusted by such words.
This woman was none other than Sun Jiangman, the Sun Family, whose car was parked outside Xiaoxiang Peak.
She left the tent that night and went to Xiaoxiang Peak to investigate. She happened to pass by the noodle stall from earlier and happened to see Gu Chen being besieged.
Originally, she hadn't planned to intervene to save people. After all, given her status and personality, there were very few people in all of Huaxia who could provoke her to help. Moreover, Xiaoxiang Peak was a chaotic place, possibly a conflict between gangs, and she didn't want to get involved or waste time.
But for some reason, she always felt that Gu Chen, sitting there, possessed a fatal attraction, as if compelling her to move towards him. By a twist of fate, Sun Jiangman made her move.
Just as she was about to speak again, a rapid car engine roared, followed by the sound of footsteps.
"Let's go!" Sun Jiangman's expression changed, realizing that the group of people had caught up with them.
When she jumped onto the roof, she discovered that the alley was surrounded by a dense crowd of people, no less than a hundred, encircling them from several street corners. As soon as someone saw Sun Jiangman leading Gu Chen up the roof, they immediately spotted them and shouted, "They're there!"
Suddenly, sparks flew in the darkness, and gunshots rang out.
"Damn it!" Sun Jiangman's face immediately turned ugly, and he began to flee frantically, shouting as he ran, "Who did you offend? Why are so many people here to arrest you?"
"I think their name is something like the Venomous Snake Gang, and their leader is a local shady businessman, right?" Gu Chen smiled shyly and said, "Actually, these people aren't that much of a threat to you, are they?"
"I wasn't praising you!" Seeing the expression on Gu Chen's face, Sun Jiangman got a little annoyed and said, "Also, don't hug my waist."
"Then where should I hold you?" Gu Chen's face tightened, and he said fearfully, "I should hold your legs, it won't be convenient for you to run."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Sun Jiangman felt like she had the worst luck in the world to have met Gu Chen. She quickly lifted Gu Chen onto her back and said, "Don't move, or I'll throw you off right now."
"Okay, okay, I won't move." Gu Chen inhaled the fragrance of Sun Jiangman's hair deeply, feeling quite refreshed. But just then, a bullet grazed past Gu Chen. Startled, he immediately reached out and grabbed Sun Jiangman, shouting, "Heroine, run! I almost got shot! Run that way, there's a forest down the mountain, they can't drive in."
"Are you even a man?" Sun Jiangman asked, feeling Gu Chen's arm trembling.
"What's wrong with men? They can be afraid too!" Gu Chen said.
Sun Jiangman looked even more disdainful and said coldly, "Don't worry, there's no need to run. I can handle this."
As she spoke, several items appeared in her hand, namely the hexagonal darts, which she hurled forcefully downwards.
These darts were more terrifying than bullets and far more accurate. Several thugs who were firing their guns were hit by the darts, their foreheads bleeding, and they died instantly on the spot.
The muzzle flashes from their rifles even swept towards their own men.
"Amazing!" Gu Chen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise.
"Good that you know what's what," Sun Jiangman said coldly. "If you don't obey, I'll treat you the same way later."
