Chapter 235 The Lord of the Night
Jiang Chengyu swiftly took off the snow-white coat, put it carefully on the hanger, and then tiptoed towards Mu Xiaoji who was lying on the sofa.
His eyes were as gentle as the warm spring sun. He looked at Mu Xiaoji, who was resting with his eyes closed, affectionately, as if he was admiring a rare treasure.
Then, he slowly leaned down and gave Mu Xiaoji a gentle and loving kiss on the forehead. The kiss was like a feather brushing across the lake, without any disturbance.
He then sat down next to Mu Xiaoji, stretched out his hands and gently held Mu Xiaoji's hands. His hands were warm and strong.
He lowered his voice and said in a tone as gentle as the breeze: "It's time to get off work, shall we go home?"
Mu Xiaoji, however, was like an angry deer. He suddenly pulled back his hands and turned his back to Jiang Chengyu in a huff. He looked like a grumpy child, pursing his lips and saying nothing, exuding a bad temper.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu smiled helplessly and continued to coax her patiently, "I won't go out anymore and will be your driver exclusively.
After I send you to the hospital every day, I will go home and wait for you. In the evening, when you get off work, I will come to the hospital to pick you up. Is that okay?"
Mu Xiaoji moved slightly, looked at Jiang Chengyu sideways, with a mixture of suspicion and expectation in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Really?"
Jiang Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a warm smile, and nodded vigorously, nodding affirmatively: "Yes, really. I don't want to trouble you anymore. From now on, I will clean and cook for you at home and take good care of you."
A bright smile instantly broke out on Mu Xiaoji's face, as dazzling as the sunshine after the dark clouds have dispersed.
He rolled over and sat up, muttering excitedly, "Let's go home; I'm starving."
Jiang Chengyu smiled and joked: "It was you who skipped lunch, so you feel hungry now?"
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, he glared at the little monster and said angrily, "You, little monster, stop talking about things that are not related to the topic. I will teach you a lesson when I get home."
As he said that, he stood up and pulled Jiang Chengyu hard, looking like an angry little lion.
The two packed up their things and walked out of the office. The lights in the corridor were a little dim, and their footsteps echoed in the silence.
Arriving at the elevator door, Jiang Chengyu subconsciously looked towards Cui Jiani's office on the right. Usually the lights were on there, but now it was completely dark.
Jiang Chengyu looked at the time and said, "It's almost seven o'clock now. Jiani should have gone home early."
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, his face changed slightly and his expression became serious. He stared into Jiang Chengyu's eyes and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Jiani? Little Devil, when did you become so familiar with her and call her so affectionately?"
Jiang Chengyu panicked and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Xiaoji, I was wrong, it was Dean Cui, I just said it casually."
At this moment, with a "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened. Without saying a word, Mu Xiaoji reached out and pushed Jiang Chengyu hard. Jiang Chengyu staggered and almost fell, and was pushed into the elevator.
Mu Xiaoji followed him into the elevator, still insisting, "Little Monster, I find that you are becoming more and more like a loach."
Jiang Chengyu quickly turned around, faced Mu Xiaoji, raised his right hand, and swore sincerely: "Xiaoji, I swear it's not what you think.
I just feel that if I did something wrong, I should apologize to you in time to let you know that I sincerely admit my mistake and have absolutely no intention of fooling you. That's really all."
As they were talking, the elevator door opened again. Mu Xiaoji snorted coldly, reached out and held Jiang Chengyu's hand tightly, and said, "That's enough, let's talk about it when we get home. I don't want to embarrass myself in public."
Jiang Chengyu looked aggrieved as he was dragged by Mu Xiaoji out of the elevator, through the lobby and towards the parking lot.
The two came to the front of the car, Jiang Chengyu opened the door, and the two got in.
Jiang Chengyu inserted the key skillfully and started the engine with a focused expression. The Land Rover Range Rover emitted a low and powerful roar.
The car started slowly, then accelerated toward the gate. Jiang Chengyu reached out and turned on the music player, and the melodious melody of "Should Not Use Love" filled the car.
Outside the car window, cars are flowing one after another, and their lights are interweaving into gorgeous rays of light in the night, like a long and dazzling river formed by the twinkling stars in the Milky Way.
However, this comfort did not last long.
At this moment, Jiang Chengyu drove his car to the intersection where he was about to turn. Suddenly, three off-road racing cars rushed over from different directions like ghosts in the dark night.
They approached Jiang Chengyu's car with a strong sense of oppression. Under this fierce pressure, Jiang Chengyu's car drove towards the highway intersection helplessly.
Jiang Chengyu's heart tightened. He turned to look at Mu Xiaoji and said solemnly, "Xiaoji, we are in trouble."
Mu Xiaoji was originally immersed in his own thoughts. When he heard Jiang Chengyu's words, he immediately opened his eyes and looked out the window.
However, it was pitch black outside, with only the headlights of the three off-road racing cars being particularly dazzling, making it difficult to see the surrounding roads.
Mu Xiaoji was full of confusion and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, little monster?"
Jiang Chengyu responded while trying to control the steering wheel: "Three off-road vehicles outside forced us onto the highway. At the intersection on the way home, they attacked us from three directions."
His eyes revealed tension and vigilance, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Jiang Chengyu was running wildly on the highway, with three off-road vehicles behind him chasing and attacking him like ferocious beasts.
The deafening roar of the engine was like the roar of death, filling the entire night with a tense atmosphere.
Under the pressure of the off-road vehicle, Jiang Chengyu had no choice but to get off the highway at an intersection, and then drove straight towards a mountain like an arrow.
The view from the mountain is as broad as a vast grassland. The spacious space seems even more mysterious and profound under the cover of night.
Seeing that there was no way forward, Jiang Chengyu stopped the car steadily. The sound of brakes was particularly harsh in the silent mountains.
After a while, a sturdy middle-aged man slowly walked over. He was like a moving hill, exuding a frightening aura.
He wore a uniquely shaped earring on his left ear, which shone coldly in the dim moonlight. His cowardly look was mixed with ferocity and cunning.
He knocked on the car window gently. The "dong dong" sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere, as if it was the death knell of doom.
Jiang Chengyu opened the car door calmly and got out of the car in a cool manner. There was no fear in his eyes, like a king in the night.
Mu Xiaoji also looked indifferent, with a calm and composed attitude of making the best of things. He got out of the car calmly and walked steadily towards the burly man.
Mu Xiaoji's voice was as calm as water, like a clear spring in this tense atmosphere: "Brother, what's your background?"
The sturdy man suddenly raised his hand, and pointed his thick fingers directly at Jiang Chengyu, with flames of anger and hatred burning in his eyes.
He shouted loudly: "Do you still remember Evan from the Philippines in the Longan Taikang underground boxing ring? He is my only brother! After the match, because of his death, I not only lost my relatives, but also owed a lot of debts.
Those creditors haunted me like evil spirits, and I was chased by them and had to hide from them like a lost dog. All of this was because of you!
Do you know what kind of life I have been living these years? You really made it easy for me to find you, you little brat. "
Jiang Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, which was full of contempt for such groundless accusations: "Underground boxing matches are a death contract in themselves. Everyone has signed it. This is the rule. You have to accept whether you win or lose. Life and death are determined by fate. Don't blame me."
"Humph!" The sturdy man snorted coldly, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes, "So now I come back to you to take back what I think is mine.
If I hadn't seen that wonderful arrest video by chance, I would have almost forgotten your face, but now it seems that this face is really charming, which makes me want to deal with you even more."
Jiang Chengyu's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and he asked coldly: "So, you are here to take my life?"
"What else? Play with me first? I'd be happy to do it." After saying that, the burly man stared at Jiang Chengyu with an evil look on his face. His eyes were like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which made people shudder.
He casually took off his coat and threw it aside, revealing his muscular body and strong abdominal muscles. Every muscle was like hard rock, exuding a wild power under the moonlight.
He walked towards Jiang Chengyu with steady and oppressive steps, with a creepy smile on his face.
Under this powerful aura, Jiang Chengyu recalled the scene of himself being tied up in Thomas' bedroom with his hands and feet. Thomas' humiliation still frightened him to this day; he couldn't help but take a step back.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji rushed forward, stood between the two men, and said sincerely: "Brother, it was all a misunderstanding before. I will compensate you for your losses. Please be kind and let us go."
However, the burly man didn't even look at Mu Xiaoji. He waved his hand and pushed Mu Xiaoji away as if he was driving away an insignificant ant.
Mu Xiaoji was already in poor health, and was pushed so hard that he lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His palms and knees were scraped and he felt a sharp pain.
A few younger brothers in the car behind were sitting on the roof and saw this scene, and they immediately burst into laughter.
Their laughter echoed in the silent mountains, particularly harsh and full of ridicule: "Tsk, a cripple wants to act like a master, he really overestimates his own abilities and asks for trouble."
Jiang Chengyu's eyes suddenly widened with anger, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes. He pushed the sturdy man away and hurriedly ran to Mu Xiaoji, trying to help him up.
But at this moment, the burly man rushed up, grabbed Jiang Chengyu's neck with a big hand like a pair of iron clamps, and pressed him hard against the car door.
Jiang Chengyu suddenly had difficulty breathing, his face turned red, and he tried desperately to pry open that big hand with his hands.
Jiang Chengyu's bottom line is that he cannot bear to see others bullying Mu Xiaoji. At this moment, he is already burning with anger, and the anger in his eyes seems to be able to burn everything to ashes.
He suddenly gathered all his strength, mobilized the energy of every muscle, and punched the burly man's heart like a cannonball.
This punch was filled with tremendous force, as well as Jiang Chengyu's anger and unwillingness. The sturdy man felt as if he had been hit by a cannonball.
In an instant, he flew several meters away like a fallen leaf and fell heavily to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and spilled on the ground. He lay on the ground gasping for breath, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
Jiang Chengyu didn't care about anything else, and hurried to Mu Xiaoji's side, looking him up and down nervously, his eyes full of concern and worry, and asked anxiously: "How are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Does it hurt?"
"Don't be nervous, little monster. I'm fine. I just got a few scrapes. It's no big deal." Mu Xiaoji comforted him with a smile, even though his wound was still aching.
When the younger brothers in the three off-road vehicles saw their boss being knocked down, they all shouted "Boss" and then ran over in panic to support him.
"Boss, how are you?"
"Boss, there's no need to be polite to him for revenge, let's go together."
"Boss, just one word from you and I'll kill him for you."
One of them was a dark-skinned man with a flat head. His eyes showed ferocity and determination. He quickly took out a double-barreled shotgun from the car and loaded it with bullets skillfully.
Then he put the gun on his shoulder, pointed it at Jiang Chengyu, and walked towards him with big strides and a menacing look. Every step was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes seemed as if he wanted to cut Jiang Chengyu into pieces.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji turned around without hesitation and used his thin body to block Jiang Chengyu like a solid city wall.
Jiang Chengyu shouted nervously: "Xiao Ji, run away, don't worry about me. I caused the trouble, I will bear it myself."
"Nonsense little monster, if it wasn't for saving me, would you have gone to Longan Taikang to fight underground?
Song Ziheng showed my mother and me the live broadcast, and I saw it all. I can't let you die for me again.
Since I brought you here, I have to be responsible for your health, happiness and well-being."
Mu Xiaoji's eyes were extremely firm, like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining with determination and fearlessness, with no intention of retreating at all.
Just when the two men were arguing and the atmosphere was extremely tense, suddenly, a black shadow flashed by like lightning, followed by a "whoosh", and a long whip wrapped around the gun in the dark-skinned man's hand as accurately as a snake out of a hole, and with a strong pull, the gun was taken away.
Before everyone could react, a figure flashed like a ghost and kicked at the dark-skinned man in a series of kicks like a storm. Each kick carried great power. The dark-skinned man had no power to fight back. He was kicked several meters away and fell heavily to the ground like a rag bag and fainted.
Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji widened their eyes in surprise. When they saw who it was, they said in unison, "Bai Jinrong?"
Bai Jinrong was wearing a gorgeous Tang suit. She looked like a blooming peony in the night, noble and mysterious.
She had a slender figure and the fierceness in her eyes was as sharp as a sword, which frightened everyone around her, as if she was the master of the night.
