Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1120: Lang’s Fury—Terrifying Even to Ghosts (Fourth Update)

Hu Zi was probably displeased with Yu Minglang’s lack of action, so he started to improvise again. He strolled to within three meters of Yu Minglang, while countless alpacas thundered through Qian’s mind. Are you afraid he won’t notice the flaws and have to deliver them yourself?

”Do you love your wife?”

”None of your damn business,” Yu Minglang said coldly.

Hu Zi, with evil at the edge of his courage, thought about grabbing a knife to throw at Yu Minglang but decided against it. Instead, he casually pulled out a lighter from his pocket and tossed it towards Yu Minglang, who effortlessly caught it with one hand. Hu Zi’s eyes widened.

My goodness, how did this guy move so fast?

Yu Minglang glanced at the lighter in his hand, it was branded as Thief Wife, a limited edition Black Ice Heart Angel Wings. He wrapped his fingers around it discreetly at the base, then a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He figured out who this cunning guy was.

Looking once more at Chen Xiaoqian’s hands hidden behind her back, every incongruity in Yu Minglang’s mind finally aligned.

A good one, Chen Xiaoqian... You’ll see how harshly I’m going to teach you a lesson for playing this way!

Hu Zi, seeing his intimidation as the villain being seriously ignored, went on to improvise against Chen Xiaoqian’s warning look. He walked to Pao, who was holding Qian hostage, and waved a knife at Qian, ”You seem to be a man who doesn’t love your wife. In that case, let me give you something to remember; watch me scar this pretty girl’s face!”

Hu Zi waved the knife around Chen Xiaoqian casually, ignoring Yu Minglang’s eyes that nearly shot fire.

”With one slash, your romance blooms. With a second, your old friend arrives. I—”

In truth, Hu Zi was bluffing, just trying to provoke Yu Minglang’s anger as planned to make him shoot.

But then, the situation changed. Chen Xiaoqian became distracted by Hu Zi’s knife, and her grip on Pao loosened. Suddenly, Pao made a move, swiftly reaching to chop Hu Zi’s hand, and he took a step back while doing it. Chen Xiaoqian stood in front of him, and by the time she realized Pao moved, it was too late to rectify it. After all, not everyone had Yu Minglang’s near-superhuman skills.

Pao, likely frazzled from prolonged nerves, lost even the ability to stay calm. He raised his knife and roared at Chen Xiaoqian.

”Let me go!”

Hu Zi’s first reaction was to stare at his empty hand, ”Where’s the knife?”

Pao, who was intensely frightened, instinctively grabbed the knife without intent to harm, just wanting to leave quickly. Unexpectedly, the knife Hu Zi brought had such poor quality. Pao saw the knife handle separated from the blade—the plastic handle still in Pao’s hand, while the blade detached!

The knife consisted of a P-shaped metal blade combined with a plastic handle. The bottom part of the blade was a size smaller than the handle, and they ought to be firmly glued together, but the blade suddenly separated and spun straight toward Chen Xiaoqian!

If it struck Chen Xiaoqian, it wouldn’t bear considering. All this happened within a fraction of a second, everything was so rapid—just as Qian was about to be pierced, a sound was heard, the blade hit the ground, along with a practice bullet.

Though the bullet wasn’t lethal, it still packed a punch.

Surprised, Chen Xiaoqian turned to Yu Minglang, seeing him calm with a handgun in hand. This scene was all too familiar; in a past life, he saved her like this from the villains!

At the critical moment, he overcame his mental barrier, relying purely on muscle memory to execute an accurate shot, deflected the blade, and rescued Chen Xiaoqian!

This all happened in a flash. Neither Pao nor Hu Zi reacted in time, as Yu Minglang quickly approached, first pulling Chen Xiaoqian behind him, then with a kick, knocking Pao to the ground. Pao lay in pain, still muttering.

”I’m truly a good person...”

Yu Minglang ordered someone through his headset to come in and arrest them, then looked over at Hu Zi.

Hu Zi was stupefied from start to finish, his face in awe; how miraculous! So this is what a legend feels like—his reputation truly deserved!

This was even more amazing than what was shown on TV, especially the last move. He didn’t even blink to see how Yu Minglang drew his gun and shot. How quick is the ultimate human reaction?

From seeing the blade detach to firing—this nearly impossible speed—he must have been ready to shoot upon seeing the opponent raise the knife, and then shot purely on instinct when the blade fell. What a miraculous thing, feeling like a legend.

Hu Zi was overwhelmed by the tough aura Yu Minglang exuded, instantly becoming a fanboy, eyes twinkling with admiration.

This is truly the man among men, a hero!

”Hi, I’m—” Hu Zi extended his hand, wanting a handshake with Yu Minglang, thinking his role was finished, ready to reveal his identity to his newfound hero.

”You’d better stay silent now.”

”Why?”

”Because—this!” Yu Minglang decisively punched Hu Zi in the stomach, causing him to double over, tremblingly pointing back at Yu Minglang.

”Stop... I’m one of us! I’m—ouch!”

Before he could introduce himself, Yu Minglang grabbed him and unleashed a flurry of strikes!

Of course, he knew who this kid was, he just wanted to land hits before he revealed his identity, otherwise, how could he vent this pent-up anger!

It’s not an exaggeration to call Qian a cunning genius.

Seeing Yu Minglang taking charge in an instant, preferring to beat Hu Zi instead of Pao, she roughly understood.

It must’ve been uncovered...

So, she tried to sneak off while others came in to capture Pao.

Just watch Chen Xiaoqian shuffle her pretty boots, sneaking away bit by bit.

”Evading punishment adds to your crime!” Yu Minglang said without turning back.

Standing at attention immediately, Chen Xiaoqian started searching for Qiao Zhen’s figure, casting a pleading glance his way, ”Help, buddy!”

”Sis, here’s your phone.” Qiao Zhen picked up Chen Xiaoqian’s phone from the ground and handed it to her, without daring to see what expression Yu Minglang wore, he hurriedly ran out.

Don’t accuse him of being disloyal! When Yu Minglang gets angry, he’s fearful too~

Seeing her partners, one getting used as a punching bag and one fleeing spinelessly, Chen Xiaoqian stood alone pitifully while others shot her sympathetic looks.
