Chapter 1165: Their First Collaboration (1)
Qiao Lian’s expression clouded over as she looked at Lu Nanze in a daze.
Lu Nanze glanced at her and then shifted his gaze to the man who spoke. “Are you speaking the truth?”
The man nodded immediately.
Lu Nanze raised his brow and said, “Meaning you believe I am who I said I am?”
The man continued to nod and said, “We’re after the girl, so if you can assure us you’ll turn a blind eye, we’ll let you go.”
Qiao Lian felt a chill inside, a strange sort of despair spreading in her heart.
But she gave a bitter smile at once.
That’s right, Lu Nanze was only a friend who had grown up with her. Why should he risk his life for her?
Besides, if he stayed, both of them would be held in captivity. He might as well leave and bring men to rescue her. At least… tell Shen Liangchuan to go and rescue her-
Lu Nanze leaving now was the right choice.
At this thought, she looked at Lu Nanze and said slowly, “Director Lu, why don’t you leave? I won’t blame you. You have lots to do in the office, and your car is waiting outside the building.”
Her words were hinting at him to inform Shen Liangchuan.
But unexpectedly after she said this, his expression darkened at once. Narrowing his eyes, he said after a pause, “In your heart, will I never measure up to him?”
His remark simply puzzled her. She had no idea where the sudden flare of anger came from.
She turned to look at him with a confused expression. He, on the other hand, looked at the men and said, “Brothers, since you know who I am, let’s get acquainted. Let us go. The road ahead is long and we’re bound to meet again. When we do, I shall have some regard for you, how about that? Or if you wait, I will reward you handsomely once I’m back.”
His offer of protection was clear.
The men looked simultaneously at their leader, the man who spoke.
The leader had a yellow fleshy face and a braid around his head. One look and it was obvious he was a shady character.
Upon hearing this, his eyes shifted between Qiao Lian and Lu Nanze a few times. Then he said with a mocking laugh, “Oooh, is this your little lover? You actually can’t bear to leave her here?”
His eyes immediately landed on her, tutting. “I must say she’s quite pretty. Also, that body and skin… What luck!”
He rubbed his hands together in glee, looking lecherously in her direction. “No wonder you’re so concerned about her. But—”
Before he could finish, Lu Nanze suddenly exploded in fury. He drew back his arm and at once threw a merciless punch in the man’s face, shouting, “I’ll teach you to speak nonsense!”
Bam.
The punch fell hard on the man and two of his teeth flew.
He spat out a mouthful of blood. Livid now, he hollered, “Brothers, go for him!”
The men charged in that instruction.
Even though Lu Nanze had learnt taekwondo, he was outnumbered. Besides, Qiao Lian’s current physical condition didn’t allow her to take any hits.
His pupils shrank. Looking around them, he immediately lowered his body and bent over, clutching his own head to protect it.
Following this, the punches and kicks started to rain on him.
“You dare to hit me? I don’t give a damn if you’re Lu Nanze or Li Nanze. Beat him up, beat him to death!” the man with the braid yelled, lisping from the missing teeth.
