Chapter 37 - Suspecting Fu Li

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The male lead of the movie was Lu Ting, but Jian Yan didn’t recognize the female lead. However, both of their acting skills were very good. With the director’s directions, they looked exceptionally compatible.

At first, Jian Yan wondered how Zhang Yue felt when she filmed this movie. But later on, she was too engrossed in the movie to think about that. It was a chaotic era with a tense atmosphere. The couple loved each other but didn’t confess their feelings, and in the end, they missed out on each other.

Only when she walked out of the cinema with Fu Li and saw the heavy rain outside did she gradually recover.

Fu Li spoke up first. “They clearly have feelings for each other. If they had said so earlier…”

“President Fu, stop it. We’ve finished watching the movie. It’s time for us to part ways,” Jian Yan said calmly.

Fu Li had not been watching the movie at all. He had only been watching her.

Even while watching the movie, she could feel his gaze lingering on her.

Perhaps he had seen it before, or perhaps he had made preparations beforehand, and that was why he knew the plot. But no matter what, she would not be moved by a few words nor would she give him a promise that she could not fulfill.

Fu Li lowered his head to look at Jian Yan. After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s raining. You didn’t bring an umbrella. You came in my car. Your car is far away. Get in. I’ll send you back.”

“Just drop me off at the parking lot.”

“Alright, I understand.”

The two of them walked through the rain and arrived at the parking lot beside the cinema.

Fu Li pressed his car key, got in, and started the car. Jian Yan opened the door and was about to get in as well when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She dodged and threw a punch behind her.

She turned around and saw a masked man coming at her hand with a knife. However, he fell to the ground after being hit on the head by, and even the knife fell out of his hand.

The rain had made the ground very slippery. The knife flew to Jian Yan’s feet.

Other than this burly man, there were nearly ten other people who were wearing similar clothes. They were obviously from the same gang. They immediately surrounded her.

Jian Yan picked up the knife without any hesitation and kicked the man’s abdomen as he tried to get up. After making sure that the man had fainted from the pain, she held the knife and faced the others.

She had been placed in such dangerous situations in France before. France was a country full of immigrants, and she was a young woman with three children and a huge sum of money. She looked like an easy target.

Before she made a name for herself, there were many people who wanted her to die in a daze. Some even thought that they had the ability to turn her into their own pet.

However, everyone who dared to do so had to pay the price for her strength. This time would be no different.

Blood spurted out as Jian Yan waved her knife around while skillfully dodging her attackers. She couldn’t help but suspect Fu Li.

Eating and watching movies together was not the fastest way to develop a relationship. The best way was to face a dangerous situation together!

It was understandable that he wanted to ruin her hands. After all, she would have no choice but to rely on him once she did not have the ability to earn money. But why did he want her face to be ruined too?

Fu Li was clueless about Jian Yan suspecting him.

Seeing that Jian Yan didn’t get into the car, he immediately opened the window and observed the situation outside. Quickly, he called the police and explained the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Li took out the fire extinguisher and got out of the car.

“Yanyan, close your eyes and be careful!” He reminded Jian Yan and pulled out the safety bolt of the fire extinguisher. He held the nozzle with one hand and the handle with the other. Then, he sprayed the nozzle at the strong men around Jian Yan.

The fire extinguisher was in a powdered form. Although it was not poisonous or corrosive, it could be used to block one’s vision and stall for time.

Slash!

Jian Yan closed her eyes and used her senses to stab a strong man.

Immediately after, she was pulled into Fu Li’s arms and carried into the car.

Jian Yan thought that if this was Fu Li’s arrangement, it would be safer to follow his wishes. She didn’t resist.

The few strong men whose eyes were injured by the dried powder did not have time to stop him.

However, they had knives in their hands and did not know Fu Li’s identity. When they realized that someone wanted to save the damsel in distress, they immediately charged at Fu Li.

Fu Li could dodge but in order to protect Jian Yan, he took a few stabs.

He carried Jian Yan into the car, closed the car door, stepped on the accelerator, and sped out of the parking lot.

As Jian Yan leaned against him, she smelled the blood on his body. She observed the tension and seriousness on his face and narrowed her eyes. She got out of his arms and sat in the passenger seat.

“Have you called the police?” She gripped the handle of the knife tightly and lowered her eyes, pretending to ask nervously.

Fu Li comforted her. “I’ve already reported it. Don’t be afraid, Yanyan. It’s fine. The police will be here soon. I’ll drive to the nearby police station.”

“Luo City is very strict when it comes to gang violence. Those people won’t be able to escape. Yanyan, are you hurt? If you are, I will drive you to the hospital.”

“I’m not injured, but you should drive to the hospital. If you don’t treat your wounds in time, there will definitely be scars.”

Hearing that Jian Yan was not injured, Fu Li felt relieved and even had the mood to tease her.

“If I get a scar from protecting you, I’ll flaunt it like a medal..”
