Su Banxia was pinned down by Huang Laodao and couldn't move at all. Just as Huang Laodao's large face was about to press down, Su Banxia couldn't hold back any longer and cried out:

"Aaaaaah, Wei Kezhi, where the hell have you been?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was kicked open violently, and Old Huang turned around with a displeased expression.

"Damn it, don't you know I'm here to do business? Who let you in?"

Su Banxia looked up and saw the door collapse with a thud, a cloud of dust falling to the ground. Wei Kezhi's tall figure stood against the light, so bright that Su Banxia couldn't open her eyes. She had never thought Wei Kezhi's figure could be so imposing.

For some reason, the moment Su Banxia saw Wei Kezhi, her heart suddenly calmed down, and a strange feeling of grievance welled up inside her.

"Wei Kezhi, please save me, waah..."

Su Banxia, ​​a woman who never sheds tears easily, could no longer hold back this time.

Seeing Huang Laodao pressing down on Su Banxia, ​​Wei Kezhi immediately gripped the dagger in his hand and said coldly,

Get off her right now!

Old Huang snorted disdainfully.

"Oh, so you're her lover? I'm not coming down today, let's see what you can do about it..."

Before Huang Laodao could finish speaking, Wei Kezhi's flying dagger pierced his throat. He clutched his neck, staring at Wei Kezhi in terror, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

All he could do was watch Wei Kezhi, who seemed like a god of death, and keep making "ah ah" sounds.

Seeing this, Su Banxia was startled and quickly pushed Huang Laodao away, scrambling to her feet and running to Wei Kezhi's side. She grabbed his arm and said anxiously:

"Wei Kezhi, he... he's not dead, is he?"

Wei Kezhi glanced at Su Banxia with a pained expression.

"I'm sorry I got your dress dirty. Let me take you to a clothing store to buy you a new dress."

As he spoke, Wei Kezhi walked to Huang Laodao's side, turned his back to Su Banxia, ​​and pressed the dagger stuck in Huang Laodao's neck down a few inches. In this way, Huang Laodao would die. Anyone who bullied Su Banxia would die.

Wei Kezhi pulled out the dagger, casually wiped it on Huang Laodao's clothes a few times, then calmly put the dagger away, and pulled Su Banxia's arm and left.

"Wei Kezhi, he... he's not dead, is he? Should we save him?"

Wei Kezhi looked at Su Banxia and smiled faintly.

“He also has younger brothers. If you stay here to save him now, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to leave.”

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia quickly grabbed Wei Kezhi's arm and ran out.

"Let's hurry back to the village, lest we be watched by someone."

Seeing Su Banxia's anxious expression, Wei Kezhi's heart stirred, and he grabbed Su Banxia and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry, Banxia. I didn't take good care of you and you were frightened."

Su Banxia was in no mood for cuddling with Wei Kezhi. She knew that Su Feng had orchestrated this whole thing, and even if Wei Kezhi was constantly by her side, Su Feng's group would still find a way to capture her.

But after witnessing Wei Kezhi's decisive and ruthless demeanor, she dared not tell him about Su Feng's involvement. She didn't want Wei Kezhi to bear the burden of a murder charge because of her.

Having learned his lesson from Huang Laodao, Su Feng would probably not dare to provoke him again.

Thinking this, Su Banxia pushed Wei Kezhi away, grabbed his arm, and ran outside in a panic.

"I'm fine, I don't blame you. I'm so grateful that you came to save me in time."

When Wei Kezhi saw Su Banxia say that, he smiled and took her arm.

"Don't rush. You're covered in blood, riding in the oxcart might scare Uncle Niu and the others. Let's go buy you some clothes first, then go to the butcher shop to pick up our things. We can't just spend all the money and then abandon the goods, can we?"

Looking into Wei Kezhi's eyes, Su Banxia felt inexplicably at ease. It was as if with him by her side, even if the sky were to fall, she wouldn't be afraid. Su Banxia nodded to Wei Kezhi.

"Let's go to the clothing store and change into some clothes first."

As she spoke, Su Banxia seemed to remember something, and grabbed Wei Kezhi's arm, asking worriedly:

"Then, Old Huang won't come to harm you, will he?"

Su Banxia was actually afraid that Huang Laodao's secret would be exposed, causing Wei Kezhi to get into legal trouble. After all, even if Huang Laodao died, his subordinates would still avenge him.

But Wei Kezhi wasn't worried about any of this, because he had already killed Huang Laodao. How could a dead man seek revenge?

Before he barged into that courtyard, his two bodyguards had already defeated Huang Laodao's men. What trouble could a bunch of bandits possibly cause?

Moreover, Wei Kezhi had already instructed his guards to stay and clean up the scene, so even if Huang Laodao's body was discovered later, it wouldn't come back to haunt him.

Wei Kezhi patted Su Banxia's hand to comfort her:

"Don't worry, they're a bunch of bandits. They wouldn't dare report me to the authorities, would they? If they did report me, the government would probably reward me for punishing evil and promoting good. After all, the government has a bounty on Huang Laodao's head."

Only after hearing this did Su Banxia realize that she had indeed been overly nervous. Although Su Banxia was a person who loved money more than anything, she had no intention of taking Huang Laodao's head to claim a reward at this moment.

After all, she was just a peasant girl. If she were to get involved in these matters, those bandits would probably keep an eye on her. She didn't want to implicate the second branch of the family because of her.

Thinking this way, Su Banxia felt relieved and went to the clothing store with Wei Kezhi to pick out clothes. Since transmigrating, Su Banxia had been busy with the affairs of the Su family and hadn't had time to buy herself a few suitable outfits. The clothes she was wearing now were all made a few years ago and had many patches.

Instead of wasting this opportunity, Su Banxia decided to buy herself a few more suitable outfits to change into. As soon as she entered the shop, her eyes were drawn to the dazzling array of clothes.

"Wow, this one looks good, and this pink one looks good too, but you can't wear it to work."

Seeing Su Banxia's expression, Wei Kezhi felt happy too. So she liked these things; now he had an excuse to give her gifts in the future.

"If you like them, take them all. I'll buy them for you."

Su Banxia glared at him reproachfully.

"You've only just received your money and you already know how to spend it. I don't need you to buy it for me. I have my own money, and I won't buy too much. I'll just buy two outfits for now: one durable one for work and one nice one for everyday wear."

When Wei Kezhi saw Su Banxia say that, she smiled at her.

"From now on, I want to eat with you. Consider it payment for my meals. Just give me something to eat, that's all. Anyway, I don't really have any other expenses, so you can spend the money for me."
