"Take your hand off her. Or… you will regret what I will do next." Ben threatened Yan Luhan with sharp words. As a man, how could he not know the meaning of Yan Luhan's eyes when he looked at her?! He clutched the hidden knife under his sleeve.
The violent version of Ben had the urge to take out the knife and threaten the man, also leaving some wounds behind on that arrogant face. He didn't like a man who spread too much overbearing aura just like his director father!
Coincidentally, Yan Luhan had that kind of appearance and look!
Michael noticed his odd action and stopped with his hand. Thus, Ben forced down his dangerous thoughts but his grip on the knife tightened further. Just a single thought needed and Yan Luhan would fall in a pit!
After calming Ben, Michael walked ahead. Unlike Ben, he was direct and went straight to the point. He said passively as he grabbed Yan Luhan's arm instead, "Do you want me to call the police?"
Yan Luhan frowned and turned to Ji Yanli instead as he asked sarcastically, "Your guards? Not bad! As expected of Ji Yanli..."
Ji Yanli was indignant by his behaviour. She was disturbed and tugged her hand back with a lot of force and whispered angrily, "Let go, Yan Luhan! I have come out to walk and don't have free time to entertain you. Don't make trouble!"
"Then… promise me you won't leave after I take back my hand." Yan Luhan pressed down as he tightened his hand. His brain failed to register how ridiculous his actions were. But how could the stubborn Ji Yanli do as he asked?!
When Ji Yanli heard, her nose flared up. 'This arrogant man...' Suddenly, without any notice, she cried out, "Stop messing up with me!"
The lady's tolerance went out of line and thus she decided to destroy his pride! She lifted her right leg and aimed to throw a vicious and heavy kick at Yan Luhan's crotch.
Because of her sudden attack, Yan Luhan's face became pale. He was off guard and to save his vital organ, he left her hand and backed away. Then he defended his lower front with his two hands. At the crucial time, his two arms took the burn of her kick and the man successfully avoided the calamity.
"You! Yanli, are you out of your mind?!" Yan Luhan felt he was being humiliated and glared at her as he shouted.
However, Ji Yanli scoffed in return. "You what! I am leaving!"
Then, she turned to the two men and spoke, the words were full of disappointment and aimed at them, "It turns out… coming with you two is the same as coming alone! Useless!"
Ji Yanli would never leave any chance to make fun of those two. Thus, even in that situation, she did so but her words were filled with resentment.
Ben immediately refuted fiercely but his frosty eyes were locked onto the fierce man who was busy shooting imaginary daggers at Ji Yanli, "Lili, we thought you know him. Also, you clearly said not to interfere…"
Halfway through, all of them stiffened because suddenly Yan Luhan moved. He dragged Ji Yanli towards him and hugged her waist. In the next second, Yan Luhan went down to kiss Ji Yanli fiercely.
"Ah!" Ji Yanli was so flustered that she was scared to the point of screaming when he saw his face so closely.
But because she had a good reflex, she moved her face away and the kiss fell on her cheek. Yan Luhan was provoked and tried to kiss her lips this time.
In anger, she slapped him hard on the face and yelled out. "Luhan! You dare to touch me again! You are seeking death!"
Ben and Michael also woke up from their momentary stupper because of the man's suddenness. Even though they did not understand Ji Yanli's words again, they knew they couldn't do nothing!
They didn't hold back and decided to go all out to beat Yan Luhan. Ben even set his goal to slap Yan Luhan's lips until they turned into thick, puffy sausages!
But someone was way faster than them. From somewhere, Wang Haixiao came running like a mad cheetah and separated the two people with his hands with huge force.
Ji Yanli flinched by Wang Haixiao's contemptuous glare and hurriedly backed away after she got back her freedom. Then she whispered awkwardly, "Damn! I need a shower!"
She wiped her stained cheek as if that place was contaminated by something filthy!
After being satisfied with her response, the man turned to look at Yan Luhan. His face twisted into something unrecognisable. Then without holding back, Wang Haixiao threw a pinch on Yan Luhan's face.
"Yan Luhan! It's not Ming city where you can do anything. You hooligan!"
Ben and Michael froze as they saw the scene with delight. They also prepared themselves to throw some condemnatory and hateful words later.
"Haixiao looks so cool!" Ji Yanli covered her mouth and thought joyfully. She even gave him a large 'Like' sticker in her imagination.
Because of the impact, Yan Luhan fell to the ground. He looked up at Wang Haixiao coldly as he wiped the corner of his lips and as expected, blood came out and stained his thumb. "Both of you have gained a lot of courage…"
At the same time, many bodyguards in black suits came out of the shadows. They scattered around and encircled the five people. One of them went beside Yan Luhan and asked respectfully, "Boss, what should we do with the three men?"
As Yan Luhan stood up. One bodyguard handed him a tissue. As he wiped his bloodied lips, he sneered and stared at Wang Haixiao hatefully, "What else? Beat up until nobody recognises their faces!"
"Yes!" Two bodyguards nodded and stepped towards them. Ji Yanli stepped back as she drew Wang Haixiao behind her as if she would protect him with her body. This simple gesture made three men jealous and one delighted.
"Yan Luhan!" She muttered out the name in warning. "Don't!"
"Come with me obediently then, Yanli. I'll consider letting them go then!" Yan Luhan stated with impassion. Also, then another bodyguard came and he took the bouquet of fresh red roses from him.
"Be obedient, Yanli. No one is better than me for you." The man replied domineeringly. He waited for Ji Yanli to go to him with a bunch of flowers. "I think I like you. Come to me."
"You dare!" As Wang Haixiao growled, he hugged Ji Yanli from the back. "Nobody is allowed to take her away from me!"
Again the other two men cursed in their minds as they didn't understand a single thing spoken before them.
"Don't worry. I won't go either." Ji Yanli's hands patted his arms and then she grabbed his arms tightly when the bodyguards were coming towards her. Suddenly she spoke out in a deep voice, "You three, are you ready?!"
"Yes!" Wang Haixiao replied as he prepared himself mentally.
"Always!" Ben replied haughtily as he wrapped the knife tightly. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced sideways and nodded his head in one direction.
"Ya!" Michael murmured confidently as his legs became taut.
In the next second... Boom!
Ji Yanli threw a little smoke bomb on the ground. Even though it was small, the effect wasn't. The whole area got covered in white smoke.
"Ahhh!"
The bodyguards cried out when their eyes felt a stinging pain. Yan Luhan simply retreated to a secure place and shouted. "They are leaving! Chase them!"
He also didn't stop and rushed towards the way Ji Yanli and the other three went. He ran to his car which was parked not too far and drove behind them as he shouted, "Yanli, don't leave! You will regret it!"
Ji Yanli stopped in her tracks when she heard him. Then she turned back and showed Yan Luhan a middle finger and spat through gritted teeth, "Fuck you!"
"..."
Wang Haixiao saw her action and grabbed that hand. Afterwards, he ran with her and spoke out loudly with frowned eyes, "Didn't I forbid you to show the middle finger to others?! If you like, just show it to me!"
"My bad!" Ji Yanli shouted. She was very happy as the scene of hers to run with Wang Haixiao came true. She giggled and ran away in a great mood.
...
The common people had the delusion that it was a scene for drama. They looked around and searched for a drone camera or something like that in the air and scanned the surrounding buildings.
Amid the chaos, many people made loud noises and after a while, a group of people came. They were in black clothes and were releasing an intimidating aura all over the place.
Their bodies had scary tattoos and some people were of massive build. One of them pointed towards the smoke area and shouted, "Those people! Boss Ben signalled us to take care of those people!"
