Chapter 171 Should We Kill Them All
Hearing this question, Su Rui couldn’t help but laugh.
“You don’t have a sister-in-law yet, but that’s only temporary. If I wanted to, you could have many sisters-in-law.”
“Keep bragging, you think I’d believe that?” Ye Binglan’s smile was sweet; apparently, she was quite satisfied with Su Rui’s answer.
For some reason, after hearing Su Rui’s response, she actually felt a sense of relief.
Su Rui wasn’t actually bragging. In the Western underworld, if he merely mentioned his name, there would definitely be many busty, slim-waisted foreign girls throwing themselves at him. That would truly be boundless good fortune.
“Brother, I’ve told you my story, but you haven’t told me yours yet,” Ye Binglan said with anticipation in her eyes. “Earlier at the restaurant, you said you carried bricks, cement, and twisted steel rods, handling all the dirty and exhausting work. You think I’d believe that?”
Previously, Su Rui had only briefly mentioned these things without going into detail. In this world, although she had only spent a short five years with Su Rui, Ye Binglan undoubtedly considered him the closest person in her heart.
For this brother who was not related by blood but closer than family, Ye Binglan naturally wanted to know about his past experiences.
Su Rui spread his hands, showing his helplessness, then looked at his long-lost little sister. Suddenly, he felt an impulse to tell Ye Binglan everything he had experienced over these years!
Although they had no blood relation, the deep feelings ingrained in their bones could not be dissolved.
After thinking for a moment, Su Rui shook his head: “Actually, I was involved in the underworld abroad.”
“The underworld?” Ye Binglan’s eyes first showed shock, then revealed a hint of concern.
She didn’t need to ask much more to understand everything.
Children from orphanages who enter society during their teenage years, with no one to care for them, often end up on the path of crime. This wasn’t just the wrong path; it was a path of no return.
The little brother who had grown up with her, after being discharged from the military, had to join the underworld to make a living.
Although Ye Binglan had only seen foreign gangs on television, she could fully imagine those scenes.
How dangerous must it have been? Did he have to live on the edge of death every day? Was his life constantly at risk, with the possibility of being ended by a bullet at any moment?
In fact, the life Su Rui had lived was even more dangerous than Ye Binglan could imagine.
At this moment, Ye Binglan felt no contempt for Su Rui’s underworld past, only heartache, deep heartache. Thinking that the brother she had been searching for all these years had been living such a dangerous life, Ye Binglan felt almost suffocated!
“Brother… all these years…” Ye Binglan hesitated.
Su Rui clearly saw the deep concern in Ye Binglan’s eyes and understood her true thoughts. He smiled and held the hand of his “little sister,” comforting her: “Don’t worry, everything is better now.”
“Is it really better?”
“Yes, everything is better now,” Su Rui said with a faint smile.
“Good.” Ye Binglan nodded. Since Su Rui said things were better, she wouldn’t press further. Even if life continued to be difficult, she would stand by Su Rui to face those troubles that would eventually pass.
“It’s getting late. Shall I take you back?” Su Rui waved the car keys in his hand, suddenly remembering that Lin Aoxue’s BMW was still parked in the downtown parking lot.
“Let’s just take a taxi back together.”
Just then, a pickup truck full of people suddenly stopped in front of them!
Su Rui raised his eyebrows, seeming to realize something, and stepped forward to stand in front of Ye Binglan.
Looking at this familiar silhouette, Ye Binglan’s eyes flashed with memories. It seemed that when they were young, he would stand in front of her like this, shielding her from harm.
The passenger door opened, and a yellow-haired man with a crutch climbed down. Seeing Su Rui, he immediately shouted: “Boss, it’s him!”
Hearing the yellow-haired man’s shout, people from the truck bed jumped down, at least a dozen of them! They surrounded Su Rui and Ye Binglan, each holding a machete or steel pipe, clearly with malicious intent!
“Don’t be afraid,” Su Rui turned to tell Ye Binglan.
“I’m a police officer. Why would I be afraid of them?” Ye Binglan said, about to take out her police badge from her pocket, only to realize she was wearing a long dress today and hadn’t brought her credentials.
“With me here, you don’t need to fight,” Su Rui’s voice was soft but conveyed an incomparable sense of security.
“Mm.” Ye Binglan nodded. She had witnessed Su Rui’s skills, easily handling four or five thugs, but there were over a dozen people here. He definitely couldn’t handle them all alone.
No matter what, Ye Binglan wouldn’t stand by idly. Nineteen years ago, Su Rui had protected her; nineteen years later, she would fight alongside Su Rui.
A muscular man with a cigarette in his mouth stepped out of the driver’s seat. He was wearing a tank top, and his muscular physique was quite eye-catching.
He took a drag on his cigarette, looked at Su Rui sideways, and asked the yellow-haired man: “Is this the guy who cost us three brothers?”
The yellow-haired man gritted his teeth at Su Rui: “It’s him, it’s him! He forced us to jump off the bus! We’ve been tracking and searching for so many days, and today we finally caught them!”
It turned out that when Su Rui took Lin Aoxue to experience the capital’s bus for the first time, this yellow-haired man was a pickpocket on that bus. Due to Su Rui’s forceful intervention, these men had to jump off the speeding bus, and the yellow-haired man’s leg was crushed by a passing car!
In the days since, the yellow-haired man had abandoned his thieving career and instead had people drive him around the area, wanting to avenge his injury from the bus jump!
Finally, this time near West Hua Street, they discovered Su Rui’s whereabouts, which delighted the yellow-haired man. He immediately made a phone call, asking his gang boss to bring all his brothers over.
This was a notoriously rampant local pickpocket gang. The muscular boss was known for his ruthlessness; in his youth, he had nearly killed someone with a knife. After being released from prison a few years later, without any skills, he could only form a theft gang, which he had managed to expand over the years.
Injuring three of his men had seriously affected the boss’s daily income, so this person had to be dealt with. It had been many years since he had cut someone, and his hands were starting to itch.
At this moment, Su Rui clearly recognized the yellow-haired man and coldly smiled: “The world has really changed when pickpockets can be so arrogant. What, didn’t get enough of a beating last time?”
The yellow-haired man involuntarily took a step back. Su Rui had been so brutal last time that his legs still trembled at the memory.
“Boss, it’s him, you have to avenge me!” the yellow-haired man quickly shouted.
“Revenge? Of course. If I don’t avenge my injured brothers, how can I be your boss?” The muscular boss had calculated well. He saw that West Hua Street was in a remote location with few pedestrians at night. It was just a man and a woman; they could attack and then escape in the car, surely without any problems.
However, when the boss was about to make his move, he saw Ye Binglan in her long dress. In that instant, he was stunned by her beauty, feeling as if his breath might stop!
The boss was certain that in all his years, he had never seen such a beautiful woman!
“Boss, are we doing this or not?” the yellow-haired man asked.
Gulp!
The boss swallowed: “Cripple the man, take the woman.”
The dozen or so pickpockets were also captivated by Ye Binglan’s beauty. Since the boss had spoken, they couldn’t continue admiring; they needed to deal with Su Rui first. As for the woman… perhaps after the boss was done with her, he might let them have some fun too.
She was truly too beautiful!
Hearing the boss’s words, Ye Binglan frowned, her eyes showing disgust.
“Being too beautiful ultimately brings danger,” Su Rui teased, glancing at her, seemingly not taking these petty thieves seriously at all.
“Still arrogant when death is near. Attack him,” the boss glanced at Su Rui, snickered, and continued admiring Ye Binglan’s beauty.
Over a dozen people against one—in these pickpockets’ view, they were 100% certain of victory, with no possibility of failure!
Ye Binglan put her bag on the ground, clenched her fists, and was about to charge forward!
However, just as she took a step, Su Rui pulled her back!
“I told you, leave this to me. You don’t need to fight.”
After saying this, Su Rui once again stood in front of Ye Binglan.
Ye Binglan was a police officer; though beautiful on the outside, she was definitely not just for show. She certainly didn’t agree with Su Rui’s view and didn’t want to see her recently found brother at risk of injury. However, just as she was about to say something, she saw two figures seemingly descend from the sky, moving extremely fast!
These two people both did a flip in mid-air, entering the encirclement with an extremely graceful and effective posture, leaving black traces above the heads of the pickpockets!
Ye Binglan felt her eyes weren’t adequate. Where did these skilled fighters come from? How could they be so agile? That mid-air flip just now seemed like something she would only see in martial arts movie stunts!
At this moment, Ye Binglan didn’t understand that her knowledge of the world was limited to its brighter parts. The darker places could almost be considered another world entirely.
That place was full of bloodshed and killing, with no rules or loyalty to speak of.
The pickpockets didn’t have Ye Binglan’s keen eyesight. They only felt a blur before their eyes, as if a gust of wind had passed over their heads, and two figures appeared before them out of nowhere!
These two people entered the encirclement, immediately turned to face Su Rui, placed their right fists on their chests, and leaned forward at a forty-five-degree angle!
Ye Binglan thought this gesture looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, she realized it was the knight’s salute—a medieval Western high society gesture expressing the highest respect!
“Sir, we arrived late! Please forgive us!” the two said in unison!
Ye Binglan understood some Western culture and knew a lot of English, which made her all the more shocked!
“Indeed, you’re a bit late. Rise,” Su Rui said with a slight smile.
The two straightened up and looked at the bewildered pickpockets around them, saying fiercely: “Sir, these people dare to offend you. Do you want us to kill them all?”
