"Damn it!" Suddenly attacked, the two people in the car immediately became a bit panicked. Especially since the attacker managed to shatter the bulletproof glass window with a single punch. How could it be broken so easily?
The driver couldn't even withstand a single punch and was knocked out.
Scarlett Qin was the most surprised, as she knew best how formidable her companions were. Even her bodyguards might not be their match, but they were knocked out by a single punch. This level of strength was not about being sneaky, but rather it showed great confidence, daring to pursue them alone.
But Scarlett Qin couldn't figure out when such a formidable person had joined her ranks?
Meanwhile, in the car, the man in the passenger seat rushed out first.
Scarlett Qin could only see two figures fighting under the car lights. There was no chance for her to escape, with another person beside her. Although they had just run out of bullets, the bayonet in their hand left no doubt that it could easily slit a throat.
All she could do now was wait for help. However, Scarlett Qin was even more curious about the identity of the man outside who came to rescue her. In her memory, apart from her husband, Justin Chen, known as the Godfather of the Fenghuang City underworld, there seemed to be no one else so formidable.
Could it be a third-party force?
Regardless, all Scarlett Qin could do was wait.
Unexpectedly, while Scarlett Qin was still worried whether the outsider was a match for these bandits, she was distracted by another thought, and the fighting outside had already ceased.
"What's going on? Brother Jack? Brother Jack?" The man sitting next to Scarlett Qin suddenly looked upset and called out twice, but received no response.
"Brother Jack?"
He was a bit panicked at this point, with no vehicles passing by outside, everything was eerily quiet. But it was this quietness that made him feel even more on edge.
But the outside remained silent.
His hand holding the bayonet began to sweat, and he quickly pressed the knife against Scarlett Qin's neck: "Come out! Or I'll kill her!"
There was still no response from outside. Cars passed by behind them, seemingly without noticing anything unusual.
What on earth was happening outside? Why wasn't Brother Jack responding?
His initial vigilance slowly decreased a bit, but he remained cautious, not daring to leave the car.
This eerily quiet situation continued for another three minutes, which felt like an agony for the man in the car. Not knowing what was happening outside and being on such high alert could drive a person to the brink.
After five minutes, he could no longer bear it and opened the car door, but grabbed Scarlett Qin, pressing the bayonet against her pale neck, and pulled her out of the car.
"Come out! Come out!" He shouted, holding Scarlett Qin hostage, but there was clearly no one around. He even looked a bit confused.
"You really know how to endure." At that moment, a man's voice came from the darkness behind him.
This made the kidnapper shiver, and he quickly turned around, only to see a man's figure in the shadow of the trees.
Scarlett Qin also looked in that direction and saw a man's figure slowly emerging in the shade of the trees. He was about six feet tall, not particularly tall or dressed flamboyantly. But his body lines were perfect, like a leopard lurking in the darkness, always watching his prey.
"Don't come any closer!"
The kidnapper was on full alert, but if this man was standing here, what happened to Brother Jack? He scanned the surroundings quickly, eventually spotting a brother lying on the ground behind the car, his condition unknown!
"You're dead!" He turned his head furiously, his eyes filled with rage and fury, as if he wanted to skin Tyler Luo and eat him alive.
Tyler Luo slowly walked out of the darkness, his gaze falling on Scarlett Qin, who was being held hostage. This mature and beautiful woman didn't show much panic, just this calmness was not something ordinary women could match.
As Tyler Luo looked at her, Scarlett Qin also observed him. She had no recollection of this young man, who seemed to be in his early twenties, very young. And there was a faint smile on his face, but it looked so dangerous.
Under his neat short hair, he was not super handsome, but his features were pleasing. His brows and eyes had a certain charm, like a mystery, irresistibly drawing people in.
This was a man with a story.
That was Scarlett Qin's first impression of Tyler Luo.
"Who are you?" The kidnapper wanted to pounce on him, but his reason told him this man was dangerous. Even Brother Jack had been defeated silently by him.
"Who am I? Does it matter?" Tyler Luo smiled, not saying much, his gaze still on Scarlett Qin, "Hand over this woman to me, how about it?"
"Hahaha!" The kidnapper seemed to hear the funniest joke, "If you want her, then come and take her with your strength!"
Tyler Luo frowned, "That really puts me in a difficult position."
Scarlett Qin also frowned at their conversation, inferring from their words that this man was not from her faction. His gaze at her wasn't one of reverence or murderous intent, but something else.
She couldn't quite figure out what that gaze meant, but one thing was certain, this man wouldn't hesitate just because she was known as the Godmother of the underworld. She just didn't know what his sudden appearance meant.
However, before her people arrived, all Scarlett Qin could do was endure.
But in the next moment, Scarlett Qin felt a gust of wind, and then a shadow appeared beside her. The bayonet that was pressed against her neck was blocked by something with a "ding" sound. As she turned her head, her arm was suddenly pulled, and she fell forward.
She couldn't help but exclaim as she lost her balance, but then strong arms wrapped around her slender waist, stabilizing her body. But as she got close to the man's body, Scarlett Qin started to react.
"Stand still." The man's voice sounded in her ear, his breath even making her cheeks feel hot. Since becoming the Godmother, other men hardly dared to approach her like this.
But Tyler Luo didn't have such concerns. Facing the knife thrust at him, especially with Scarlett Qin behind him, he was not panicked at all. When the bayonet came, he suddenly moved.
"Huh?"
At that moment, Tyler Luo was stunned. He saw something incredible!
In his eyes, the opponent's thrusting knife seemed to slow down. It was like a slow-motion scene in a movie, although it's exaggerated to compare it to a turtle, it did indeed seem too slow for Tyler Luo.
If not for the pain in his eyes, he might have thought he was dreaming.
Tyler Luo wasn't afraid of the man in front of him, especially now that his movements seemed so slow in his eyes. He accurately grabbed the man's wrist, his movements smooth as flowing water. He elbowed the man's chest, tripped him with his foot, then used his shoulder to push the man's body, flinging him with his hands. Finally, he snatched the bayonet, and the man was thrown out.
"Bang!" Tyler Luo's strength was surprisingly great, throwing the man to the ground with a heavy impact, especially the elbow strike before the throw, leaving him unable to get up.
"Let's go." Tyler Luo didn't look at him again, turning to the still dazed Scarlett Qin.
But Scarlett Qin instinctively stepped back, "Who are you really?" This man was definitely not here just to save her. She hadn't expected to escape the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's mouth.
"Are you coming?" Tyler Luo smiled, pointing to a Mercedes.
Scarlett Qin's mind was racing, considering her options. But what could she do at this point?
Finally, she didn't speak, but bit her lower lip and got into the Mercedes under Tyler Luo's gaze.
Tyler Luo admired her attitude and reaction. This woman knew her current situation and how to minimize the damage.
He opened the driver's door, pulled out the driver he had knocked out, cleared the glass, and then got in.
"Miss Qin, how should I put it, I don't mean any harm. How about we find a place for a cup of coffee and chat?" Tyler Luo said, looking at the calm Scarlett Qin through the rearview mirror. Although her facial expression didn't show much reaction, her rapid breathing betrayed her current mood, especially the heaving of her chest.
"Do I have a choice?" Scarlett Qin asked coldly.
Tyler Luo looked outside, starting the Mercedes, "Sorry, it seems you don't have the option to refuse."
