chapter 13 Pale beauty blushes

Oh no! A lot of people's hearts were almost jumped out of their chests! Allen Chen's eyes also widened. He didn't expect this man to look around so quickly! He also didn't expect him to act so fast, as soon as he noticed something was wrong, he pulled out a knife and tried to attack. But Allen Chen had already made his move, and there was no way he could retreat! So he decided to go all in! Give it his all! With a loud "Ah", the little girl suddenly bit the man's arm, causing him to cry out in pain. Allen Chen managed to grab the knife and, without thinking too much, slashed it across the man's face. Blood spurts out! The man covered his face and took several steps back, screaming in pain, "Damn it! I'll kill you!" "If you dare to come closer!" Allen Chen, with the knife in hand, stood his ground and shouted fiercely. The man was immediately intimidated and, gritting his teeth, said, "You little brat, I'll remember this! Just wait!" "Damn right! I'm not afraid of you!" Allen Chen advanced with the knife. Seeing that Allen Chen was getting a bit crazy, the man's courage waned, and he didn't dare to confront him directly. He quickly turned and ran. Chasing him for about a hundred meters, Allen Chen finally stopped, feeling a sharp pain all over his body. "Damn it!" His old injuries weren't healed yet, and this excitement had worsened them. "Uncle, I have a band-aid," the little girl walked over and took out a band-aid from the pocket of her dress. Allen Chen couldn't help but smile; just one? How could it help? But he still accepted it. "You're a very thoughtful little girl." "My mom told me that if someone helps me, I should thank them," the little girl replied. Allen Chen nodded and said, "I can see that you're very well-mannered." "Uncle, does it hurt?" The little girl asked, looking at his pained expression. Allen Chen said, "It doesn't hurt." "But, Uncle, you look like you're in a lot of pain. You're lying, Uncle," she responded. Darn it, kids these days seem to know everything! Allen Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle is really not in pain, I’m just hungry." "Hey, buddy, want to eat?" The taxi driver came over with a lunchbox. "Which one is your child? I can give you a lift, and then take you to the hospital." "Thanks, I forgot to give you the fare," Allen Chen said as he reached into his pocket. The driver replied, "Forget it, buddy, have a few bites to replenish your strength first." "Grace!?" A woman rushed over, looking anxious, and quickly hugged the little girl, keeping her away from Allen Chen. "What are you going to do to my daughter?" "Miss, don't jump to conclusions... what the hell, it's you!" Allen Chen looked up and couldn't help but curse. What a day! This woman was the same one who was driving the Maybach earlier! The woman, holding her daughter tightly, glared at them angrily. "I warn you! If anything happens to my daughter, I won't spare you!" "Damn it!" Allen Chen felt choked and just lay on the ground without speaking. The woman gritted her teeth and asked, "What kind of person are you?" "You also, what kind of person are you? I saved your daughter, and you treat me like this?" Allen Chen said angrily. If he didn’t get angry, what did she take him for? The woman was stunned immediately. "Did you... save my daughter?" "Ms. Li, you're finally here." Several campus staff members ran over and said with frightened faces, "Your ex-husband just came and threatened everyone with a knife, wanting to take your daughter by force." "Thanks to this gentleman, who risked his life and stood up to your ex-husband. He drove him away." "Ted Zhao? He drove Ted Zhao away!" The woman's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief on her pale face. She looked at Allen Chen with a sense of guilt. "I didn't know you were helping. I saw you with a bloody knife and thought... you wanted to..." "What do you think I wanted to do?" Allen Chen was getting annoyed. He checked the time on his watch, damn, maybe Layla Li had left! What bad luck! The woman took out a business card from her wallet, handed it to him, and said, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. This is my business card. May I know your name?" "No need," Allen Chen refused. "You're not short of money. Hire a bodyguard for your daughter." "Mr. Driver, could you please take me to the hospital?" he couldn't hold on much longer. "Alright!" the taxi driver quickly helped him up. The woman felt guilty again. "Don't, don't be like this. I misunderstood you earlier." "You saved my daughter, I must thank you." "Give me a chance to repay you?" "Okay, your car is nice, I could use it for commuting. Will you give it to me?" Allen Chen joked, feeling a bit annoyed by this woman. She made him look like he saved this little girl just to get some money from her! Unexpectedly, the woman handed Allen Chen the car key. "OK." "You!" This time it was Allen Chen's turn to be stunned. Is this woman crazy? That Maybach was worth three million! She's really giving it away? The woman handed over her business card again with a pleading expression. "I know I misunderstood you earlier. I had to act that way because someone was deliberately causing trouble, trying to link me to something. I had no choice but to treat people that way to protect myself. Please understand me a little." "Could you please try to understand my situation a little as well?" "Are you... Layla Li?" Allen Chen looked at the business card and felt a bit numb! Darn it! This woman was the target, the beautiful CEO of Tianmei Group, Layla Li! He couldn’t believe he treated her like that! It’s over, it’s over, this deal was definitely not going to work now! Layla Li looked at his strange expression and asked, "Do you know me?" "My name is Allen Chen, a staff member of the sales department of Ruian Group." Allen Chen said with a wry smile, "I came here in a hurry. I originally wanted to discuss the project with you, Ms. Li. But now..." "We can talk now," Layla Li said immediately, "But can you let me take you to the hospital first?" "Well, how can this bother you, Ms. Li?" Allen Chen was a little flattered. It was rumored that Layla Li was a famous ice queen. According to headhunters' information, many high-level executives from companies like Ava Liu, Ben Dong, and others have tried to contact Layla Li, but 90% of them were rejected! They haven't made any progress up to now. Allen Chen really didn't expect that she would be so polite to him. "It's okay, let's get in the car." Layla Li reached out to help him to the passenger seat, and she, along with the taxi driver, got Allen Chen into the seat. "Mr. Driver, please come and assist, I'll pay you a day's fare." "Okay!" The taxi driver was overjoyed. He didn't expect to get such a pleasant surprise for helping. Layla Li got into the driver's seat and said, "Please help me keep an eye on Grace and fasten her seatbelt." "No problem," said the driver. Allen Chen struggled to fasten his own seatbelt for a while. Suddenly, a soft, fair hand grabbed his hand. "Let me help you," Layla Li said. "Huh?" Allen Chen was surprised and looked at her. Their eyes met, and a faint blush appeared on Layla Li's pale cheeks. "You got hurt because of my daughter and me, so this is something I should do." With that, she leaned down to fasten the seatbelt buckle.
