Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 783 - 757 Assassin Appears

The party quickly returned to the villa, and as soon as they did, Tangyu’s brow slightly furrowed, which Liang Youshan and the two others noticed.

At that moment, four black-clad men charged out, each holding a pistol and rushing towards them to attack. Their target was obviously Tangyu.

"Ah—," the sight scared the three girls out of their wits, prompting them to let out a few shrill screams. Xinyue couldn’t help but cling tightly to Tangyu, while Tang Guo and Lan Yi clung to each other.

The sudden tight embrace of their fragrant bodies, and even feeling a soft hand pressing on his arm, sending waves of smooth pleasure, all gave Tangyu a moment of exhilaration.

It had been a long time since he had felt this sensation.

Liang Youshan immediately became angry, and Wang Wei and Wu Fei rushed out at once. Before the four gunmen could even shoot, they let out screams of pain and were knocked to the ground, their pistols naturally snatched away by Liang Youshan and his companions. frёeωebɳovel.com

What was even more astonishing was that once taken, the three men crushed the pistols with a squeeze, turning them directly into a pile of scrap metal, then casually threw them into a roadside bush.

The four assassins, without a chance to react, were beaten until their faces were swollen and unrecognizable. Such a brutal and explosive side was shocking to witness.

Liang Youshan stopped and turned to Tangyu, "Boss, let’s go take care of these guys." After saying that and with a motion from Liang Youshan, Wang Wei and Wu Fei picked up the four men and quickly left.

Aside from some remaining bloodstains, there were no other traces left on the ground.

When the noise had died down, Xinyue timidly asked, "Is it over now?"

Tangyu smiled and gently patted her shoulder, "It’s over, they’re all gone."

Turning her head to look, Xinyue indeed saw that everyone had left. Relieved that it was over, she took a deep breath. Seeing Tangyu also looking at her, her face flushed to her ears, and she looked incredibly shy.

However, she found the broad and solid embrace so warm that she didn’t want to let go, wishing such moments could last longer.

Tangyu smirked as if he saw through Xinyue’s thoughts, "If you want to keep hugging, then go ahead, I’m quite generous about that."

"Ah—," Xinyue, already feeling like a deer running amok in her heart, blushed at Tangyu’s teasing words and immediately let go, retreating from his embrace with her head lowered, too shy to look at Tangyu.

This bashful appearance was indeed charming and endearing, making Tangyu itch to pounce on her and kiss her several times, to comfort her properly.

"Eh, where are they everyone? How come they’ve all disappeared?" Tang Guo asked warily as she looked around.

Tangyu said, "They’ve gone after those bad guys. Don’t worry about them, let’s go inside."

Everyone nodded and returned to the villa, settling down in the living room to calm down a bit.

Even though Liucheng had been chaotic lately, with violence and killings everywhere, the sight of guns being drawn to kill people was still something they rarely saw, let alone experienced themselves.

The fact that they hadn’t broken down crying was quite admirable.

Xinyue furrowed her brows and glanced at Lan Yi, who seemed somewhat dazed, before saying, "It’s strange, Tangyu, you’ve just arrived, so how could enemies have come to kill you here? Isn’t it your first time in Liucheng?"

Tangyu nodded, "Indeed, it’s our first time in Liucheng, and other than the few of you, I don’t know anyone else here. It is a bit strange, we’ve just arrived and were ambushed so soon, and the chosen location was extremely secluded, obviously a setup from before."

Tang Guo’s eyes flickered and she immediately said angrily, "No need to question it, it must be Jin Hong, that scoundrel. He is so despicable, I’m thoroughly disillusioned with him. But, how did he know Tangyu came to Liucheng? That doesn’t make sense."

Xinyue turned her gaze towards Lan Yi, and feeling the scrutiny, Lan Yi became somewhat flustered, stammering, "Xinyue—you, why are you looking at me like that?"

Without saying it, it was clear that Xinyue suspected the incident was a result of Lan Yi revealing information to Jin Hong. Other than that possibility, what else could it be?

Tang Guo also stared at Lan Yi, wanting to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Tangyu glanced at Lan Yi and curled his lip, "What else could it be? This must have something to do with you."

Tangyu didn’t have any particular fondness for Lan Yi, and it was obvious to him that she was the one who conveyed the message. Of course, her intention wasn’t to have Jin Hong kill him, just to let Jin Hong know.

"Me? What do you mean? I didn’t call those assassins," Lan Yi said defensively.

Xinyue shook her head, "Lan Yi, I always treated you like a close sister, but you’ve truly disappointed me this time. I know you didn’t call the assassins, but can you swear you didn’t leak Tangyu’s arrival to Jin Hong?"

Confronted by Xinyue’s question, Lan Yi suddenly became speechless, "I—"

Indeed, she had no answer; she had been the one to reveal it to Jin Hong.

Xinyue continued, "Lan Yi, actually Tang Guo and I have long known that you’ve always liked Jin Hong, that you’ve been secretly in love with Jin Hong. But since Jin Hong liked me and was pursuing me, you never showed your feelings. But we are best friends, we’re together every day, do you think we couldn’t see what was in your heart?"

"There is nothing wrong with liking Jin Hong. If you liked him, you could have pursued him yourself, why did you need to help him pursue me? Could you really be happy that way?"

"Actually, I’ve wanted to talk to you about these things for a long time, to have a serious conversation with you. Love is mutual, a melon forcefully twisted off its vine is not sweet. No feelings mean no feelings, no matter how much you try to match-make, it’s impossible to come together. I don’t like Jin Hong, that’s the truth. No matter how much you help Jin Hong, it’s futile, it will only backfire."

"You should see Jin Hong for who he is. Back at Snow Mountain, he abandoned us and ran away alone. Now? He even dares to consider assassinating Tangyu. I don’t even want to hear about him anymore."

"You’re my best friend, and I won’t blame you for what happened this time. I know you didn’t intend for Jin Hong to hurt Tangyu. But as your best friend, I also want to advise you, stay away from Jin Hong, or you’ll end up miserable."

Lan Yi sat down dejectedly, tears welling up in her eyes, her expression exceedingly agitated as if all the emotions that had been pent up in her heart were bursting out.

"No matter what kind of person Jin Hong is, I just like him, liking someone doesn’t need a reason. As for what happened today, yes, it was me who leaked the information to Jin Hong. I didn’t expect things to end up like this. If you’re angry, I apologize to you. I have things to do, so I’m leaving now." Having said that, Lan Yi ran off.

"Lan Yi, you—" Tang Guo also looked at Lan Yi, perplexed.

Xinyue shook her head, her heart aching as if it were being sliced by a knife, "Let it go, Tang Guo. Let her calm down on her own. This might actually be good for her."

Tang Guo shook her head, sighing with a maturity beyond her years, "Love, it’s really something incomprehensible, too complicated. Women, once they fall in love, they just bring troubles upon themselves. Thinking about it, it’s better to be carefree like me."

"Look at sister Xinyue, ever since you fell for someone, it’s like you’ve changed into a different person, love ruins people."

Xinyue’s face suddenly flushed, and she shot Tang Guo a playful glare, "What are you talking about?"

"Yo, yo, yo, shy, are we? It’s clear as day, you like Tangyu. Just now didn’t you say that if you like someone, you should boldly say it out loud? Now speak up," said Tang Guo.

"..." Xinyue wished she could seal Tang Guo’s mouth, and she almost wanted to dig a hole to crawl into.

Tangyu found that he was growing increasingly fond of Tang Guo. She was so sensible. He thought of rewarding her with his giant lollipop to enjoy.

Then Tang Guo added, "See, sister Xinyue, see? Even Tangyu has acknowledged it. He must have feelings for you too. I think it’s clear both the gent and the lady are interested in each other, just get together already."

"..."

Sometimes, the relationship between a man and a woman is just separated by a thin sheet of paper, and everything changes once you poke through it, instant clarity.

The entanglement is in how to poke through that layer of paper, how to fully open the window of the soul, and then have each in the heart of the other.

Xinyue likes Tangyu, that’s for sure. As for Tangyu, he also likes Xinyue, that goes without saying.

But now, Tangyu would not easily reveal his emotions. He had too many things to do, too many tasks at hand, and he already had several women. Therefore, he dared not make promises lightly.

And he did not want to hurt other women thoughtlessly.

So, he could only maintain his silence.

The atmosphere had become somewhat awkward because of Tang Guo.

The door opened, and Liang Youshan and the others came back in, breaking the uneasy atmosphere.

Liang Youshan gave Xinyue and Tangyu weird looks, then snickered with a teasing expression, full of insinuation.

Xinyue got up and pulled Tang Guo, "Weren’t you saying you needed to use the bathroom? Let’s go upstairs."

"When did I—oh right, the bathroom." Tang Guo caught Xinyue’s eye signals and quickly caught on, amending her words. Then they hurriedly ran upstairs.

Tangyu shook his head with a smile. These two girls were pretty sensible. It showed that they understood he needed to talk to Liang Youshan and the others about business.

A smart woman is quite admirable in that regard.

After the girls left, Tangyu asked, "Is everything taken care of?"

Liang Youshan curled his lip and said, "Heh, do you even need to ask? Are you still worried about how we handle things, boss? It was that Jin Hong guy. I didn’t like him from the start. The moment he arrived, he dared to play dirty, to dig under the emperor’s feet. Let’s see if I don’t take him down this time."

"Hmm," Tangyu nodded, assured that Jin Hong was indeed behind the mischief.

"Those four assassins are from a group called the ’Flying Wheels Gang’, which is a new power that has been rising strongly on the streets recently, growing very bold. They are close to Jin Hong, and he has been secretly assisting the Flying Wheels Gang. Whether the gang is under Jin Hong’s control, we couldn’t get that out of them, but I suspect the chances are not small," Liang Youshan continued.
