Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1126: Chapter 1098: Come On, Let’s Hurt Each Other

She participated in this event and could probably glimpse a fraction of the danger within, so she felt particularly uneasy.

But at this moment, she couldn’t do anything and could only wait at home.

Coming out of the bathroom, she saw the beauty, who somehow had dug out the pack of tissues Qian had hidden, and was ready to tear it apart. Seeing Qian emerge wrapped in a towel, it almost challengingly flicked its head, as if to say, come on, let’s hurt each other!

But today, Qian truly did not have the mood to play with it. She ignored the beauty preparing to rip up the tissues and walked to the bay window to sit down, staring absently at the streetlights outside.

The beauty sensed her unusualness, approached, and curiously looked at her, nudging Qian with its head, hey, why aren’t you chasing?

Qian looked back at him, reached out to rub its head, and said a bit sadly, ”I’m not in the mood to mess with you; he went out today. I have to wait for him to come back.”

The beauty didn’t know if it understood what Qian meant but could feel Qian’s anxious and tense mood, so it put down the tissues and silently sat beside Qian, man and dog together looking toward downstairs, waiting for the man who tugged at her heart to return home.

The long wait was indeed nerve-wracking; without something to do, it felt unsettling. Qian saw a wooden comb on the tatami and casually picked it up.

This was a gift Yu Minglang had given her a few days ago, saying it was a present Balan had given him on their first meeting. It wasn’t valuable but was a token of regard. The intricate carving showed care, and Qian guessed it might have been intended for a girl Balan loved, but somehow it didn’t get given, hence passed to Yu Minglang.

She gently combed her hair with it, and suddenly one of the comb’s teeth broke. Despite the comb being sturdier than most handmade ones, she didn’t think she had used much force, yet it snapped.

In Qian’s hometown, a broken comb tooth was an unlucky sign, and her heart fluttered, causing her to set the comb aside.

What’s wrong with her today, filling her head with silly superstitions? That was not good; she should be more scientific and rational. Yu Minglang had weathered many storms without a single failure. The capital was only two or three hours’ drive away, and he would be back soon.

No matter how she tried to comfort herself, the unease in her heart still spread, the moonlight shining through the glass, casting an eerie glow on the comb with the broken tooth.

Elsewhere, Yu Minglang was leading his men, swiftly heading toward the capital in the car, where Mrs. Li, clutching a suitcase, was chatting with Yu Minglang.

”Mr. Chen is truly accomplished for his age, a perfect match for you. How did you meet?” Mrs. Li, feeling nervous, chatted deliberately with Yu Minglang to distract herself.

Her family and the Yu Family were connected; both families were old acquaintances.

”I’ll tell you when we return.” Yu Minglang, highly focused, spoke concisely.

”This time, we truly owe Mr. Chen a lot. Our family’s patriarch respects no one else but listens to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen seemed to tell him some things during the treatment today, as afterward, the old man called me to his study. It’s quite strange; he usually listens to no one but Mr. Chen.”

Mrs. Li hadn’t anticipated Qian being so capable. Luck had favored them with a skilled, compatible doctor for the patriarch, and the money spent was truly worthwhile.

”According to the hierarchy, she’d call you auntie, so there’s no need to thank.”

”Couldn’t agree more.” Mrs. Li laughed.

Back when Yu Minglang was a child, Mrs. Li had visited their home and remembered thinking how mischievous this boy was. Who could’ve thought he’d grow up to be so accomplished?

”I remember you being especially naughty as a kid—”

The reminiscing hadn’t finished when Yu Minglang’s radio went off.

”One, all arrangements are as you instructed, foolproof.”

”Understood.”

Yu Minglang cut off the call and deployed additional bodyguards he brought for enhanced vigilance.

Mrs. Li, slightly anxious, tightly clutched the suitcase.

Previously, no one knew where the old man had hidden it, but now that it was out, those outside had only this one chance to seize it. Once it reached the capital, no one could take it.

So, this not-too-long journey had turned into a perilous stretch with lurking threats.

Mrs. Li was immensely worried, pinning all her hopes on the ultra-strong entourage Yu Minglang brought.

The air in the enclosed vehicle was tense, and suddenly, a loud noise from the front startled Mrs. Li into a scream.

Someone was robbing the road!

Yu Minglang, however, didn’t panic. Instead, he wore a confident smile, his lips curling. Beside him, Qiao Zhen praised Yu Minglang.

”One, you’re still as prescient as ever, anticipating an ambush here; they indeed showed up.”

”I’ve studied the route. If I were to rob it, I’d also target here—enough talk, get the brothers to act!”

It’s TIME for a showdown!

Those people were after Mrs. Li’s suitcase, with no expense spared, using exclusively foreign thugs. Yu Minglang knew by the sounds outside that they were desperate, deploying heavy firepower to seize the suitcase.

But Yu Minglang wasn’t easy prey, nor were his men. Anticipating a confrontation, Yu Minglang had made arrangements.

Upon hearing the enemy starting to throw grenades, Yu Minglang issued orders over the radio. Suddenly, numerous people emerged from the roadside; the area had long been fortified by Yu Minglang!

The opponents drove a modified off-road vehicle, crewed with armed criminals, and upon seeing this scene, uttered a low curse.

”An ambush! Those people just won’t quit! Boss, what do we do?”

The man called the boss, a burly figure with a masked face, saw the dense bodyguard troupe outside, his eyes darkened.

”There’s no retreat now; split up. I’ll distract them while you seize the vehicle. Ensure to get that box!”

”Got it!”

The crowd in the vehicle quickly scattered; Yu Minglang, observing everything from the car, chuckled, ”Playing this game with me? Ha, all teams, split up and fight. Don’t let any of them escape!”

Qiao Zhen, seeing the chaos outside, felt an itch to join, gripping his weapon to disembark, but was held back by Yu Minglang.

”You’re in charge of guarding the goods. I’ll go down.”

”One! You can’t be such a coward!” Qiao Zhen protested, ”You’re the action leader; the leader doesn’t go down!”

”You stay put in the car; that’s an order!”
