Chapter 023 Just Playing Word Games
“You’re cheating! This is clearly playing with words!” Lin Aoxue was getting upset, and at the same time, she actually felt a bit anxious. If she really had to be spanked many times by Su Rui, how would she survive?
“I’m not cheating. I said it before, you have to accept the consequences of a bet,” Su Rui smiled. “Besides, sister Aoxue, you’re so skilled in business and have signed hundreds of contracts. You should be better than me at scrutinizing the fine print. Why didn’t you pay attention to it today?”
Lin Aoxue was momentarily speechless. How could she have thought about all that at the time? She had assumed she would definitely win this bet and Su Rui would leave with his tail between his legs. Who knew it would end up like this?
This hateful guy!
Lin Aoxue was grinding her teeth in anger, but as Su Rui said, she had to accept the consequences of the bet. There was nothing she could do.
“Sister Aoxue, I have one more thing to tell you,” Su Rui suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously.
“What do you want to say?” Lin Aoxue instinctively felt that Su Rui was plotting something, because whenever he smiled, nothing good would come of it.
Su Rui chuckled: “You really have a perfect figure.”
After saying this, seemingly aware that Lin Aoxue was about to explode, Su Rui quickly added: “I’m complimenting you. You should be able to tell the difference between good and bad words. Alright, I’ll leave you here today. I need to hurry.”
With that, Su Rui hurriedly ran out of the manor gate and jumped into the car.
Lin Aoxue stood at the gate, her face slightly flushed, yet she was still grinding her teeth.
This hateful guy, always making her angry time and again! Just when she had started to feel a tiny bit less hostile toward him, he reverted to his old ways!
However, what Lin Aoxue hadn’t realized was that in just these two short days, her emotions had fluctuated countless times. Her previous life had been like stagnant water, so calm that even throwing a stone wouldn’t cause a ripple. This had completely changed after Su Rui’s appearance, and it was an irreversible transformation.
After Su Rui got into the car, he found that the driver was Wang Yuan from last night.
“Hey brother, how was your swim last night?” Su Rui asked with a smile. When they were attacked by enemies last night, Su Rui had told Wang Yuan to jump into the river to escape, claiming he was a burden, while Su Rui himself stayed to deal with the enemies with Xia Qing.
Both involved jumping into a river, but jumping with a beautiful woman versus jumping alone felt vastly different.
“Young master’s brilliant strategy is truly admirable,” Wang Yuan flattered with a sycophantic smile.
Originally, his skills weren’t bad, and he hadn’t been convinced by Su Rui’s decision. But after today’s events, he discovered that the gap between himself and this man couldn’t be measured in miles. Now he was completely convinced.
Moreover, today the company’s security guards were all spreading rumors that Su Rui was the young lady’s man. Wang Yuan also thought this was probably true. He had loyally served the Lin family for many years and had never seen Lin Aoxue personally escort a man out of the house late at night!
So Wang Yuan’s address of “young master” was truly sincere!
Su Rui felt that this Wang Yuan was really perceptive, with potential and vision, worth cultivating!
However, he mysteriously lowered his voice and whispered in Wang Yuan’s ear: “Don’t tell anyone about me and Aoxue. Just keep it to yourself.”
With Su Rui saying this, Wang Yuan was even more convinced. He patted his chest and promised: “Young master, rest assured, I will never mention anything about you and the young lady to anyone!”
However, as he said this, Wang Yuan inwardly scoffed: “Do you really think your relationship is a secret? Even the company’s security guards knew before me! The whole company already knows!”
“Let’s go, take me to the hotel.” After a night of activity, Su Rui was actually a bit tired. He adjusted his seat to a comfortable position, preparing to take a short nap.
But just then, Su Rui caught sight of a car from the corner of his eye.
It was a Volkswagen Passat, parked not far from the Lin family manor next to a courtyard. This was a famous wealthy area in Ninghai, full of mansions and courtyards. Of course, the Lin family villa was one of the larger properties.
When Su Rui’s car started moving, the Passat also started up. Su Rui drove ahead, and that car followed at a steady pace behind, maintaining a distance of about two hundred meters between them.
“They’re really persistent. They failed last night and now they’re back again, these incorrigible people,” Su Rui said, looking in the rearview mirror with cold eyes, though his tone was lazy.
Wang Yuan suddenly tensed up, after all, being followed usually meant someone had bad intentions. He gripped the steering wheel and asked nervously, “Should we speed up and lose them?”
Su Rui smiled faintly: “Lose them? No need. Stop the car, I’ll get out, and you drive back to the Lin house.”
“That won’t do, young master. How can I leave you behind?” Wang Yuan said anxiously. He just wanted to step on the gas and get away from the people behind them.
“Have you forgotten what I told you last night?” Su Rui suddenly asked.
“Uh, no, I haven’t.” Wang Yuan awkwardly rubbed his nose. Last night Su Rui had told him—”With you here, you’ll only be a burden to me.”
“Then listen to me. These people, if they’re not taught a painful lesson, they’ll never learn,” Su Rui shook his head. “Stop the car. Their target is me, they won’t bother you.”
So, with great humiliation, Wang Yuan stopped the car and then turned around to leave.
As soon as Su Rui got out of the car, the Passat following them suddenly braked and stopped in place.
Su Rui didn’t move, and neither did they. Both sides remained in this strange standoff, separated by over a hundred meters, for several minutes.
Finally, the Passat seemed to lose patience. After starting up, it suddenly accelerated, looking as if it was going to run Su Rui over on the spot!
And from the opposite direction, two more Passats came speeding toward them with tremendous force!
Were they planning to surround him?
Sending three cars to deal with him—they were really giving him face!
Looking at these three cars, Su Rui suddenly remembered the mysterious car with modified xenon headlights from last night. With the driver’s exceptional driving skills, they would probably rank highly in China’s underground racing scene.
If Xia Qing hadn’t been with him at the time, Su Rui would definitely have captured this person on the spot. It seemed that in the future, he would need to be more selective about when to pick up girls.
Unfortunately, in the strong light of the xenon headlights, Su Rui hadn’t been able to see the brand and model of that car.
This time they wanted to use the same trick again, but for Su Rui, these tactics were useless.
“They’re truly beyond help,” Su Rui muttered to himself. “Should I escape or teach them a lesson?”
Isn’t there a saying that gold will shine wherever it goes? He was truly shining with golden light, having just arrived in Ninghai for less than two days, and already people were trying to deal with him like this.
However, this hatred had escalated too quickly.
Su Rui smiled faintly, showing no fear in the face of the roaring engines coming from all directions.
In the next second, he took out a throwing spike… this was also something Su Rui had brought back from the silver box earlier.
Once deployed, this spike became a four-edged military dagger! An absolute bleeding weapon!
This dagger was crafted by the famous Russian weapons master Zelnikov, with exquisite workmanship, invincible and unstoppable!
Many people aren’t skilled at using this type of weapon in close combat because, although it’s quite flexible and convenient to carry, there aren’t many usable moves in a fight, far less than with a sword. If one’s arm strength isn’t strong enough or speed isn’t fast enough, it’s really hard to master.
Su Rui quite liked using this four-edged military dagger. It was discreet, highly efficient at killing enemies, and after using it often, it felt very comfortable in his hand. Su Rui felt that this dagger had subtly become an extension of his body.
Whenever he held this dagger, Su Rui would feel a sense of blood connection.
This four-edged military dagger, accompanying Lord Apollo, had almost never been seen in China before. However, there’s always a first time for everything.
The driver of the first Passat seemed not to have expected Su Rui to pull out a military dagger, but he wasn’t particularly nervous. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up in a cold smile, his eyes full of mockery!
“You’re simply asking for death!” the driver said coldly.
In this situation, he stepped on the gas even harder, clearly intending to run Su Rui over directly!
Faced with this scenario, Su Rui didn’t hesitate at all. He twisted his waist and suddenly exerted force with his upper arm!
The four-edged military dagger turned into a dark flash, shooting out!
The tip of the dagger directly shattered the windshield. Fortunately, the driver realized the danger and ducked his head sharply!
Then, the dagger flew past, grazing his hair and leaving a bloody mark on the top of his head!
This pain made all the hairs on his body stand up instantly!
Su Rui retrieved the dagger and stood in place, not trying to avoid the car!
The car almost lost balance. After the front shook a bit, the driver immediately stabilized the steering wheel and charged toward Su Rui again!
The distance of twenty or thirty meters was covered in the blink of an eye, and now the Passat was about to hit Su Rui!
The two cars from the opposite direction still hadn’t slowed down. From their angle and position, the three cars wouldn’t collide with each other but would form a wide line, perfectly crushing Su Rui in the middle!
Clearly, they were experienced operators who had coordinated for a long time!
Just as the three cars were about to converge, Su Rui’s figure suddenly flashed to the side!
He had escaped through the gap, moving as fast as a phantom!
As he flashed out, Su Rui’s military dagger shot out again, directly piercing the front tire of one of the Passats!
When a blowout occurs at such high speed, a car can easily flip over, and this Passat was no exception!
After the tire burst, the car immediately began to slide sideways and flip, colliding with the two oncoming cars!
The rolling Passat directly crushed the front of the two cars! The three cars were almost embedded together, completely deformed! After such a severe collision, the people inside the cars would at least be seriously injured!
Su Rui had originally wanted to keep a few survivors to force some information out of them, but just as he was about to pull the dazed and bloodied individuals out of the wreckage, the sound of police sirens suddenly rang out in the distance!
Su Rui could already see the police lights in the darkness!
