Chapter 72 Rescue
Soon, the four men arrived at the nightclub's entrance. Through the glass door, they saw two women hurrying out.
The two women were graceful, but their clothes were rather thin, and they trembled slightly in the night wind, as if they were afraid of something.
As the two women stepped out of the revolving door, they looked up and saw four men standing in the doorway.
The four men had menacing faces and their eyes gleamed with ill intent. The two women felt a sudden chill, a sense of foreboding washing over them.
One of the men, with a lewd appearance, curled his lips into a sinister smile, which looked particularly ferocious in the dim light.
He said sarcastically, "So? Ladies, are you going to come back with us willingly, or do you want us brothers to carry you up?"
Upon hearing this, the two women turned deathly pale.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness. For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the air around them seemed to freeze, leaving only a tense atmosphere.
Just at this critical moment, a dark figure darted out from behind like a ghost.
In an instant, a chilling light streaked across the sky, as fast as lightning.
With a muffled "thud," a cold light pierced the body of one of the men. He didn't even have time to scream before he fell straight down, blood spreading across the ground.
The other three men heard the commotion and hurriedly turned around. However, before they could see what was happening, that cold light flashed again.
This time, a man let out a scream of pain as blood gushed from his chest like a spring.
His body lurched backward two steps uncontrollably, and he fell heavily to the ground, knocking down the person behind him as well.
The remaining man, as expected of someone who had been in a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) team, reacted extremely quickly.
In this extremely critical moment, he suddenly exerted force in his waist and abdomen, and kicked the dark figure.
That kick was powerful and forceful, showing that he had used all his strength.
But the dark figure moved like a gust of wind, easily dodging the fierce attack.
Immediately afterward, the shadowy figure swung again, and another flash of cold light appeared. The man let out a shrill scream as the foot he had just kicked out was cleanly severed, blood gushing out from the broken limb in a gruesome manner.
After regaining his footing, the dark figure shouted to the two terrified women, "Come to me!"
Although these two women were actresses and used to all kinds of performance scenes, the bloody and incredibly realistic scene in front of them still terrified them.
They stood frozen in place, as if under a spell, their legs weak and unable to move an inch.
Fortunately, Yang Mi was the first to come to her senses. Ignoring her fear, she quickly reached out and pulled the equally stunned woman beside her, and ran towards the direction of the shadowy figure.
The dark figure was Cheng Yi, who said in a low voice, "Come with me."
As he spoke, he held the cleaver horizontally, his eyes revealing an undeniable air of authority.
At this moment, the only man who was not injured stared wide-eyed at the blood-dripping cleaver in Cheng Yi's hand, his face filled with terror.
What a joke! He's just a bodyguard; he wouldn't dare do anything that really puts him in danger.
He watched helplessly as Cheng Yi led the two women away, his feet seemingly nailed to the ground, unable to take another step forward.
The system notifies you that you have punished the four bodyguards, gaining 3 energy points and 100 hours of life.
System notification: Punisher, you have activated the "Half-Human, Half-Ghost, Invincible Gunner" title for 20 seconds, consuming 20 hours of your life time.
After walking a few more steps, Cheng Yi turned to look at the two still-shaken people beside him and hurriedly asked, "Where's your car?"
Yang Mi's lips trembled slightly as she replied, "None of us drove; the company arranged for a car to bring us here."
Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Yi immediately led them towards the direction where he had parked his car.
Soon, the taxi appeared in front of them. Cheng Yi quickly stepped forward, opened the car door, and gestured for Yang Mi and the other woman to go in first.
The two women helped each other and carefully climbed into the back seats.
Cheng Yi then quickly got into the driver's seat, skillfully started the car, and stepped on the gas. The taxi sped away from the parking lot in the "Heaven and Earth" parking lot like an arrow.
The atmosphere inside the car was unusually heavy, as if a heavy stone was pressing on everyone's hearts.
None of the three spoke; only the roar of the car engine echoed in the silence.
Yang Mi and her companions were still immersed in the thrilling scene they had just witnessed, their faces pale and their bodies trembling slightly; Cheng Yi, on the other hand, was focused on driving, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his mind replaying everything that had just happened.
Suddenly, a rapid cell phone ring broke the silence inside the car.
Yang Mi trembled slightly, and after calming down, she took out her phone from her bag.
When she saw the caller ID, her expression turned even more serious. She took a deep breath before pressing the answer button and said, forcing herself to remain calm, "We've already left, Mr. Qin. What else do you want?"
A man's almost roaring voice came from the other end of the phone, so loud it seemed to shatter the receiver and make one's eardrums ache: "What do I want? What the hell do you want? You really think I'm someone you can mess with? Do you think I'm some kind of pushover? I didn't tell you to leave, and you dare to leave? If you just leave like this, how the hell am I supposed to stay in the underworld?"
The man's roar continued, each word like a thorn: "You're a fucking bitch. I'm already married, and I don't mind that you're promiscuous. How dare you go against me?"
Three of my four brothers are now injured because of you. Let me tell you, this isn't over! You want to run away? Hmph, I'll see where you can run to! I remember your home is in Dongcheng. Even if you run to Fengtai now, I don't believe you have the ability to get back to Dongcheng!
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a series of crackling sounds came from the other end, followed by a cacophony of noise. Clearly, the other person had angrily thrown their phone away.
Yang Mi's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness, and the atmosphere in the car instantly became extremely tense.
Who is this person? What kind of person is this? Yang Mi knew all too well. But it was precisely because she knew that she realized the hornet's nest she had stirred up.
Yang Mi's face was as gloomy as the sea before a storm. Her brows were furrowed and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She swallowed hard, as if trying to swallow down the fear and unease in her heart.
She then quickly scrolled through her phone's contacts, found a number, and dialed it with slightly trembling fingers.
The call was answered quickly, and before Yang Mi could even speak, an exasperated voice came from the other end: "Yang Mi, what exactly do you want? Don't you know how precious this opportunity is to us? This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"
And what about you? You've completely offended our major client. I'm asking you, do you even want to stay at this company? You're responsible for cleaning up this mess yourself; the company won't pay for your recklessness.”
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone without hesitation, leaving only a busy tone echoing in Yang Mi's ears.
The woman next to him was terrified; her breathing was intermittent, as if each breath required all her strength.
Her eyes widened in terror, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Sister Honey, what... what should we do now?"
The voice was choked with sobs, sounding especially helpless in the cramped carriage.
Yang Mi pressed her lips together, remaining silent, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
She quickly found another phone number on her phone and dialed it without hesitation.
However, there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone, and no one answered.
Yang Mi's brows furrowed even more. Her knuckles turned white from gripping the phone so tightly. She resisted the urge to smash the phone away and dialed the number again.
After a while, the call was finally connected, and a man's heavy breathing came through the receiver: "Hello, what's up?"
Hearing this voice, Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief as if she had grasped the last straw, and hurriedly said, "I've offended a second-generation member of a gang in Northeast China, what do you think about this..."
Before Yang Mi could finish speaking, the man's irritated voice came through: "Can't you just shut up for a few days? Why do you always do these kinds of troublesome and offensive things? I've really had enough of you. Tell me what you're doing..."
Yang Mi's pent-up emotions exploded instantly. She couldn't hold back any longer and yelled into her phone, "He wants to sleep with me! That bastard is a pervert! I'm pregnant now, am I supposed to just wait to be abused by him if I don't run away?"
Enraged by Yang Mi's roar, the man shouted back, "Why are you yelling at me? Whose fault is it that you're pregnant? Isn't it your own doing?"
Yang Mi was so angry that she started cursing: "You bastard! Who was it that begged me in the first place? I clearly told you to take precautions, but you wouldn't listen!"
The man's voice grew louder, almost roaring: "Have you listened to a single word I said? I told you to stay home obediently, but you wouldn't listen; I told you to take good care of your pregnancy, but you wouldn't listen either. Now that something's happened, you're blaming me?"
The sounds of arguing echoed through the carriage, and the tense atmosphere grew even stronger.
Yang Mi was so angry that she trembled all over, her teeth grinding together, her eyes filled with anger and grievance, as if she was about to grind her teeth to pieces.
But she knew this was not the time to act rashly, so she suppressed her anger and tried to make her voice sound calm as she said, "I'm really in big trouble now. The person I offended is contacting people to ambush me on the road."
Could you help me sort this out? As long as I can get through this crisis safely, I'll go back home immediately to focus on my pregnancy and won't cause you any more trouble.
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking, before saying, "Wait for my call." He then hung up, leaving only a busy tone.
Seeing Yang Mi so distressed, the woman beside her reached out and held Yang Mi's hand tightly, trying to comfort her. She whispered, "Sister Mi, don't be afraid, your brother-in-law will definitely find a way."
Yang Mi felt her concern and gripped her hand tightly in return, which calmed her frightened emotions a little.
Only then did she realize she hadn't properly thanked the person who had saved them, so she looked at Cheng Yi in the driver's seat and said, "Thank you so much for your help earlier. I didn't even know you were..."
Cheng Yi didn't respond to her words, but just glanced back at her slightly, then picked up two pieces of clothing from the passenger seat, casually tossed them to Yang Mi, and said in a flat tone, "Wear these for now, don't get cold."
Yang Mi took the clothes and put one on herself first, feeling a bit warmer.
She then handed another garment to the girl next to her, who had delicate features and looked somewhat like a mixed-race person. The girl gave her a grateful look and then draped the garment over herself.
The two women gradually came to their senses and began to examine the entire taxi.
After watching for a while, the girl seemed to have discovered something new and said in surprise, "Brother, the interior space of your car seems to be much larger than that of a regular taxi."
Cheng Yi asked with a smile, "Is it big? Well, I can't help it. I treat this car like my wife, and a wife is naturally better if she's big."
His words immediately made the two women beside him laugh, and the heavy atmosphere that had been like a dark cloud suddenly eased up a lot.
Yang Mi looked at Cheng Yi, her eyes filled with gratitude: "I really have to thank you for what happened just now, otherwise, the two of us..."
She didn't continue, but the lingering fear contained in her unfinished words was self-evident.
Cheng Yi frowned slightly, and said calmly, "How could your company do such a thing? The methods are too despicable."
Yang Mi fell silent. The girl next to her picked up the conversation and sighed softly, "This kind of thing is all too common in our circle. There's no way to avoid it."
If it weren't for Sister Honey's husband having some connections and influence, we really don't know what kind of misfortune we would have encountered this time.
The girl paused, her eyes dimming slightly: "I'm lucky to have met Sister Mi. She's always protected me, which is why I'm so clean and pure now."
But this industry is like a giant dye vat, full of coercion, temptation, and shady rules. I don't know how many more days I can hold on; I might get caught up in it any day.
As she spoke, the girl looked out the car window, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness. The bustling street scene seemed irrelevant to her. She was like a lost fawn in a dark forest, surrounded by unknown dangers.
Yang Mi patted the girl's shoulder, as if to comfort her, but her own eyes also held deep worry.
Cheng Yi frowned, looking puzzled, and said, "I really don't understand. If you're all so unwilling, why don't you just leave? Is there anyone who can stop you?"
Yang Mi gave a bitter smile, a smile full of bitterness and helplessness: "Leave? It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do. I'm really unwilling."
I've struggled and persevered to get to where I am today, and my career has only just begun to take off. To give up now, just like that, feels like my carefully built castle collapsing before my eyes. That feeling is so painful, so regrettable.
Cheng Yi shook his head slightly, his tone serious: "In the end, it's because you're too greedy. This world is inherently fair; if you want to gain something, you must inevitably lose something else. Isn't that just the way things are?"
Yang Mi sighed deeply, her eyes filled with regret: "Yes, I understand that, it's normal. At first, I thought that just saying a few nice words to those people and having a couple of drinks with them would get us the resources we dreamed of."
Heh, I was too naive. I overestimated my abilities and underestimated the terrifying power of desire in human nature. I thought I could control the situation, but in reality, from the moment we stepped into that game, we were no longer in control of our own destiny.
The girl next to him had tears in her eyes and said with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, Sister Mi, it's all my fault. It's all my fault for being too reserved. If I could... if I could be braver, more willing to take risks, maybe none of this would have happened. It's all my fault..."
As the girl spoke, her voice choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.
