chapter 6 Wei family revenge

Charlie Wei sensed something wrong and hurriedly interjected, "Esme Su, don't blame me for not warning you. Once you leave this door, the life or death of the Su family has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing Esme Su's hesitation, he became enraged, his teeth grinding loudly.
He pointed at Theodore Zhao and shouted, "Kill him first!"
Immediately, a muscular man blocked the door.
Theodore Zhao looked up. This man was nearly two meters tall, his body rippling with explosive muscles, radiating a dangerous aura.
He didn't need anyone to remind him, he could feel the pressure coming towards him!
The muscular man sneered, "Thinking of leaving?"
Theodore Zhao walked forward slowly, "Get out of my way!"
The man took a large step forward, "Ask my fist first!"
As his words fell, a fist whizzed towards Theodore.
Theodore stood unflinchingly, only moving when the fist was almost upon him. He nimbly dodged the punch with a swift step.
The muscular man swung his elbow across, aiming straight down!
Theodore halted, raising his arm to block without any fancy feints, standing firm in the face of the attack!
Bang!
The sound was like a thud in the chest!
Esme Su listened with a pounding heart. Before she could catch her breath, Theodore had already used the momentum to retreat half a step.
He lifted his foot, sweeping out a whip kick without warning!
This kick was so powerful that the muscular man was unable to dodge and was almost knocked away by the kick. If he tried to get close again, he would have lost the upper hand.
Theodore Zhao threw three consecutive hook punches, pressing him against the wall corner!
Charlie Wei watched in shock, nearly biting through his teeth.
Charlie realized Theodore Zhao was rough and tough, his punches full of force, seeing the muscular man unable to last a few minutes.
Following a cold snort from Charlie, two fierce-looking thugs emerged from behind him.
Seeing Theodore's adept movements, the leading thug sneered viciously, pulling out a knife wrapped in newspaper from behind his back. Tearing off the paper, he slashed towards Theodore's chest!
Seeing the blade, Esme Su covered her mouth in fear.
Theodore, not daring to be careless, pushed off the ground, narrowly dodging the slash.
Then, pivoting on one foot, he swept out, striking the thug's elbow with a powerful kick!
Crack!
A crisp sound, and the thug's arm went limp, his face instantly turning pale.
Theodore Zhao pressed forward, punching him in the throat, and with a forceful pull backward, completed the seamless set of movements without any pause!
Boom!
The thug was thrown by Theodore through a nearby floor-to-ceiling window.
This throw was not only spectacular but also immensely intimidating!
The thug following Theodore Zhao was stunned when Zhao suddenly exerted his strength and punched the thug in the face, instantly incapacitating the thug!
The room fell silent. Many had seen fights, but never someone as capable as Theodore. Had it not been for their differing stances, there might have been cheers on the spot!
Esme Su hadn't expected a man-to-man duel to be so raw and invigorating.
Unexpectedly, she felt a different kind of emotion towards this security guard.
The remaining thugs exchanged glances, filled with shock and fear.
"I said, get out of the way!"
Theodore Zhao glared at the thugs hesitating at the door, his not-so-tall figure suddenly appearing formidable.
Charlie Wei had already hidden himself, leaving his men leaderless. They automatically made way.
Theodore walked ahead, with Esme Su following closely.
Her orderly life of twenty years became exciting for the first time due to a man's appearance!
Yun Ding Manor was Charlie Wei's territory. Theodore dared not linger.
He opened the car door, helping Esme Su into the passenger seat.
Just as he sat down, a dagger suddenly extended from behind!
"Ah!"
Esme Su screamed in fright, the blade already against her neck.
Theodore Zhao turned sharply, but before he could react, a chilling warning came.
"Don't move! Someone asked me to teach you a lesson. Behave, and she won't get hurt."
Theodore Zhao glanced at the rearview mirror. There was a man hiding in the back seat of the driver's seat. His face could not be seen clearly, but the knife in his hand was very stable, not like a novice.
Caught off guard!
The Wei family's retaliation came swiftly!
Regretting his oversight, Theodore realized the man's skills were not weak, and even with prior notice, he wouldn't have had time to react.
Thoughts raced in his head, but his hands remained steady.
The assassin spoke coldly, "I know you're skilled. Do as I say. Make a wrong move, and I'll bleed her!"
As a warning, the assassin pressed the knife down slightly.
The sharp blade cut a slit on Esme Su's neck.
Blood dripped down the tip of the knife.
The assassin said with a twisted enjoyment, "Such a beautiful woman. What a waste if she died, right?"
Theodore Zhao's eyes reddened with anger, yet he was helpless.
Igniting the engine, the Ferrari quickly blended into the night.
Yun Ding Manor was located on the mountainside. The winding mountain road was visible, with neon lights at the foot of the mountain.
As there were no cars behind, the assassin whispered, "Pull over to the side of the road!"
Theodore's body tensed, slowly pressing the brake.
Seeing that the time was right, the assassin knocked Esme Su unconscious and stabbed toward Theodore with the dagger.
Hearing the movement, Theodore knew stopping meant death!
Without waiting for the assassin to get close, he tensed his grip on the steering wheel and floored the accelerator!
He swung the wheel with his left hand, leaning his head back.
Simultaneously, his right hand swiftly grabbed the assassin's wrist!
His five years of military service endowed him with excellent combat skills and reflexes. The four actions were almost simultaneous, without hesitation.
Seeing his intentions discovered, the assassin tried to cut Theodore's artery with a vicious flick of his knife.
But he hadn't expected Theodore's valor and strength, his grip on the assassin's wrist unyielding.
The assassin, undeterred, snorted coldly and wrapped his left arm around Theodore's neck from behind, tightening his grip.
A deadly struggle ensued in the confined space.
Suffocation!
Oxygen deprivation!
In less than half a minute, Theodore's face turned red, veins and sinews bulging on his forehead, his pupils dilated, the situation dire!
The car wobbled dangerously on the road, on the verge of flipping.
In desperation, Theodore Zhao caught a glimpse of a big tree on the side of the road. Without a second thought, he steered towards it!
Bang!
The car's front was severely damaged, the engine smoking, airbags deployed, chaos inside.
Theodore, disoriented from the impact, was saved by the seatbelt.
The assassin wasn't as lucky, flung from the back seat, his head hitting the windshield, his face covered in blood.
Theodore exhaled a heavy breath, a narrow escape from death!
He gasped for air, not pausing to celebrate, and quickly unfastened his seatbelt to jump out.
First, he checked Esme Su's condition and then helped her out of the car.
Esme Su, rubbing her forehead, slowly regained consciousness.
"It hurts!"
Theodore Zhao comforted, "It's okay."
Esme Su's condition was not good. He originally wanted to find someone for help, but there were no cars passing by at this time.
There is a cliff on one side, and the big trees on the other side are swaying in the wind, and the leaves rustle with an eerie sound.
Thinking of the assassin, Theodore Zhao hurried back and felt that he still had a pulse.
Although the assassin kept his mouth shut, and did not reveal any useful information.
However, it is not difficult to guess the mastermind behind the scenes, Charlie Wei!
No one else has the need or the ability to kill him, besides him.
Theodore's first reaction was to call the police. Kidnapping is not a simple crime. Even if Charlie Wei cannot be dragged into the water, at least he must be stripped of his skin!
Fumbling in his pocket, he then remembered his phone was locked in the changing room of the duty office.
Esme Su's phone was nowhere to be found either.
Just then, a voice came from behind, "I must be crazy to have believed your nonsense!"
After the crisis passed, Esme regretted her impulsiveness.
Although she had temporarily escaped the annoyance of that marriage, what should she do next?
She was powerless against the Wei family's retaliation!
And the Su family would probably turn into a mess now, right?
Thinking about it now, accepting Charlie Wei's proposal might not have been such a bad idea.
What's wrong with a little compromise?
Theodore Zhao initially wanted to comfort her with a few kind words, but upon hearing this, his face darkened instantly.
But now, she was caught between a rock and a hard place!
Theodore Zhao originally wanted to comfort her with a few words of kindness, but when he heard these words, his face immediately darkened.
What does this have to do with me?
Esme Su raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did you say?"
Although Theodore Zhao didn't make a sound, she vaguely heard something.
Theodore raised his voice, "I said, you should be thanking me!"
Esme held back her anger, "Thank you? For me ending up in this situation, I should thank you?"
She had always been a pampered young lady. Even Charlie Wei was utterly respectful in her presence until tonight. She couldn't stand Theodore's attitude.
Theodore reminded her, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have seen Charlie Wei's true colors!"
Esme retorted sarcastically, "No matter what, Charlie Wei is ten thousand times better than you!"
Theodore felt inexplicably annoyed, especially when Esme compared him to Charlie Wei.
Charlie Wei is the esteemed heir of the Wei Group with a net worth of over ten billion.
What about Theodore Zhao?
Just a demobilized soldier, his resettlement funds already consumed by hospital bills.
Even his job as a security guard in the community was precarious, how could he compare to Charlie Wei?
Payday was just a few days away, and he desperately needed the money.
But with so many incidents in the past few days, he wondered if Sun would cause trouble for him.
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, not even noticing the look on Esme's face, "Then go back to him!"
"I will!"
Esme, not knowing where she got the strength, got up and started walking back.
But after just two steps, her heel broke, and she sprained her ankle.
She rubbed her ankle, tears almost falling, "Theodore Zhao, you bastard, other than bullying me, what else can you do?"
Theodore cursed under his breath, why bother arguing with a woman?
He was about to step forward to help her, but suddenly he heard a noise from the car.
"Click, click!"
The sound made Theodore's scalp tingle, and his body instantly tensed.
It was a sound all too familiar to him, the sound of bullets being loaded as the gun's slide pulled back the trigger!
