"Yutong Sis, the people have arrived from Pearl City."
"Good!"
As soon as Yu Xin finished the phone call, she shouted towards Liu Hao's direction: "Hey! You over there, the green-haired good samaritan! Thanks! I'll treat you to a meal later!"
She didn't recognize Liu Hao at first.
Of course, it was also because she had never dealt with Liu Hao directly.
Liu Hao was clumsily dodging attacks from two blond-haired thugs. Hearing this shout, he stumbled, nearly tripping over his own feet, and cursed inwardly: "Who wants your meal? I'm here to repay a favor!"
These green-haired guys from the Tianyan Gang might fight without any real technique, but they made up for it with a reckless, fearless ferocity. Plus, there were quite a few of them, which indeed tied up most of Brother Qi's men.
However, as another group of hoodlums, originally chasing Liu Hao and his crew, joined the fray, Liu Hao's side began to lose ground. Several of his green-haired underlings were knocked to the ground, howling in pain.
Liu Hao himself took a few hits, grimacing in pain, and started to feel a twinge of regret.
Damn, why haven't Liu Yutong's reinforcements arrived yet?
Could it really be just these few women here today?
He suddenly felt a sense of being treated differently.
Whenever Liu Yutong dealt with him or those gang bosses from Pearl City before, wasn't she always surrounded by a whole entourage of people?
This time, she actually didn't bring any muscle?
That doesn't make sense!
Actually, it's not strange for him to think that. Normally, with Liu Yutong's own skills plus Lan Die, it was enough to handle any unexpected incidents.
The earlier incident with Hawke and his crew proved that point.
She was also basically used to going out with just Yun Cheng before, only this time Yun Cheng was replaced by Lan Die.
Liu Hao didn't know Lan Die, but he knew Yun Cheng, which was why he instinctively assumed their backup would arrive soon.
Unfortunately, he bet wrong this time.
"Damn it! Am I really going to get myself killed over this?"
"This Liu Yutong is nothing but trouble!"
He forgot that these people were originally chasing them; he was actually the one who dragged Liu Yutong into this.
Liu Yutong and her group were the real victims here, okay?
Brother Qi, seeing the situation tipping back in their favor, regained his cold, controlling smirk. He pulled out another cigarette and flicked his lighter.
Click!
The flame had just sprung up...
"Woo-woo... Woo-woo... Woo-woo..."
The sound of police sirens suddenly blared, reaching everyone's ears.
"Cops are here!"
Someone shouted.
All three parties in the melee immediately stopped fighting.
In Long Country, there wasn't a single person on the streets who didn't feel a chill hearing that sound.
Brother Qi's face instantly turned extremely ugly. They had dragged it out for too long.
In the end, he could only toss away the unlit cigarette with reluctance and immediately ordered: "Fall back!"
His underlings hurriedly helped up their injured comrades and followed Brother Qi, hastily retreating in the direction opposite the sirens.
In the blink of an eye, the open space that was just filled with shouts and fighting was left with only Liu Yutong and the three other women, along with Liu Hao and his green-haired crew.
Liu Hao looked at Brother Qi and the others running away, then at the police officers getting out of the cars and running over. He didn't even have time to settle accounts with Liu Yutong.
"Cops! Brothers, let's scram!"
Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and yell at Liu Yutong: "Liu Yutong, you remember this! I've repaid that favor today. Let's never meet again!"
After saying that, he led his injured crew, limping and hobbling, into another alley and disappeared.
Liu Yutong watched them run off without trying to stop them.
She was just puzzled. When had she ever helped that guy?
The only thing she could think of was sending him to jail that time in Wushui County.
If that counted as a favor, then she wouldn't mind doing him that 'favor' a few more times.
By now, several police officers had run over.
Liu Yutong and the others briefly explained the situation to the officers and then took a police car to the hospital.
This time, among the four of them, only Lan Die had a relatively serious leg injury. The others were mostly fine.
Su Mansu's nerves only began to settle after arriving at the hospital and getting checked.
Today's scene had genuinely frightened her.
She hadn't even officially started the job yet, and she'd already been in two fights with two different groups.
A moment later.
When Liu Yutong came out of the hospital room, Su Mansu couldn't help but ask: "Boss, when our company negotiates business deals normally, do we also need... um... professional skills like Sister Lan Die's?"
Liu Yutong: "That depends on you. However, our company does place emphasis on cultivating well-rounded, comprehensive abilities in our employees."
Su Mansu: "..."
Comprehensive abilities? Comprehensive fighting abilities?
The kind where if negotiations fail, you just start throwing punches?
She looked at Liu Yutong's pretty yet somewhat heroic face and muttered to herself.
The boss's fighting skills were abnormally good. It wasn't normal for a boss to have skills like that. She seriously suspected the boss might have practiced so much because she had a lot of enemies.
Liu Yutong seemed to guess her thoughts: "You don't have to learn if you don't want to. It's not mandatory."
"Also, don't overthink it. Today was purely bad luck, a coincidence."
"I've already found out. That second wave of people wasn't originally targeting us."
She had figured it out by now. Those people were originally chasing Liu Hao and his crew. They were just innocent bystanders who got caught in the crossfire.
And that Liu Hao actually had the nerve to say he was repaying a favor.
If Liu Hao hadn't helped them out a bit, she'd almost suspect he teamed up with those guys to ambush them.
Yu Xin was also comforting Su Mansu on the side. After all, it was Su Mansu's first time experiencing a street brawl like this. No matter how strong her nerves were, it was scary.
"Mansu Sis, you really don't need to be afraid. Those guys will absolutely never come looking for trouble with us again."
Su Mansu was half-convinced, half-doubting: "Are you all telling the truth?"
She was still feeling a bit shaken.
After all, that was real fighting with real weapons, not some movie about gangsters.
"Of course it's true. Why would we lie to you?"
Yu Xin looked at Su Mansu sincerely and assured her: "Our company is absolutely a legitimate company. What happened today was a pure accident, like getting hit by bird poop while walking down the street. The probability is actually very low."
Seeing Yu Xin's earnest expression, Su Mansu's doubts lessened a bit.
Maybe she really did have terrible luck and ran into an extremely low-probability event?
If that were the case, then perhaps she could try working for a while and see.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Yutong and the others had protected her throughout the fight, she would have already said she quit.
It was really too scary.
Yu Xin: "Mansu Sis, you just focus on being a good assistant for Yutong Sis from now on. If any more troublemakers come looking for us in the future, our company has professional brothers... um... colleagues who will handle it."
Su Mansu: "..."
She was just about to say something when she heard a flurry of rapid footsteps coming from the far end of the hospital corridor.
She instinctively looked up. The next second, her entire body froze.
At the end of the hallway, two rows of young men dressed in identical black suits approached, a dark and imposing mass. There were at least twenty or thirty of them, giving off an unmistakably underworld vibe.
The scattered passersby and medical staff in the corridor instinctively pressed themselves against the walls at the sight of this group, not daring to make a sound.
The black-clad men moved with clear purpose, stopping in unison about three steps away from Liu Yutong.
At their head was a man with stern features and an upright, imposing stature.
"Miss, we're late. We apologize for the fright you've had."
Dozens of black-clad youths behind him bowed in unison. "Miss!"
This kind of display, this kind of presence—it was nothing like ordinary company employees coming to pick up their boss.
Su Mansu slowly turned her head to look at Liu Yutong beside her, whose face remained calm, as if she were utterly accustomed to such a grand and intimidating spectacle.
This is what you call bad luck?
This is what you call a legitimate company?
This was clearly the kind of entourage befitting a mafia princess!
Su Mansu couldn't help but whisper secretly to Yu Xin beside her, "Can I take it back?"
"Huh?" Yu Xin didn't catch it.
Su Mansu: "Never mind, it's nothing."
