Bastard, these bastards.

Clearly things with Zuimo had just started well, clearly I had just begun to yearn for a future life. But... these bastards just had to come knocking now.

I should have guessed. An assassin organization that kills without mercy would not easily let Shen Zuimo go, I was just too naive, too simple. Originally, I thought if we just eluded the police search, no one would find Shen Zuimo living at my place.

Actually, Xiaofan can't entirely blame himself for the mishap. Initially, his idea was just to rescue Shen Zuimo, and let her leave once she recovered. But who knew it would develop to this, not wanting her to leave, unwilling to let her go?

During this time immersed in happiness, Xiaofan had already conceived a notion to spend a lifetime with this woman. But... once again, reality shattered his illusion.

They came too suddenly, so sudden Xiaofan had no preparation at all.

What should be the next step? How exactly to get rid of these merciless killers, even if they escape tonight, what will he and Shen Zuimo do afterward?

"Xiaofan, watch out..."

Suddenly, Shen Zuimo's voice brought Xiaofan's thoughts back to reality. Ahead was a sharp turn, Xiaofan hurriedly spun the steering wheel, and slammed on the brakes. Due to high speed, he almost caused a rollover off the road. Fortunately, in the end, he narrowly avoided it.

And just as Xiaofan was about to accelerate again, a jeep suddenly rushed over from the side, crashing solidly into Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo's car.

Suddenly, everything blurred, his vision completely unable to focus. He nearly lost consciousness.

Finally, when the car stopped, Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo slowly regained consciousness, the first thing both did was unbuckle their seatbelts and leave the car.

"Zuimo, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. How about you?"

"Let's go..."

Whether or not anything is wrong is unknown now, but if they don't run soon, things will get serious.

"Leave, do you think you can?" Blood Wolf sneered, stepping out of the halted car on the roadside.

Southwest Avenue of H City is not a city road, nor is it a major route to other cities. So, if an accident happens here, it won't attract much attention, nor would passing drivers dare linger long for fear of trouble.

"Zuimo, you go first, they are targeting you, they won't dare to do much to me, I'll hold them off..."

'Whoosh.'

Before Xiaofan could finish speaking, a powerful fist suddenly smashed heavily into his face, before he had time to react, his body crashed into the car window beside him.

"Xiaofan."

Shen Zuimo cried out in alarm, her figure blurred, she swiftly ran over, attacking the guy who struck Xiaofan fiercely, every move ruthless.

His head smashed hard against the car window, although the window didn't shatter, it left Xiaofan dazed and disoriented, when he opened his bleary eyes, he could only see two figures fighting back and forth. Their actions were so fast, even at such close distance, Xiaofan could not see clearly.

Is this the true strength of assassins? Knocking out a few hooligans he could easily handle, but just one punch from this guy knocked him down, this was power.

However, Shen Zuimo's fighting strength surprised Xiaofan; though he knew Shen Zuimo was incredible, he never saw her unleash full power.

The man who had just beat him retreated step by step under Shen Zuimo's fierce assault, completely unable to counter. If another guy hadn't rushed over to block Shen Zuimo, in no more than three moves, that guy would have surely died by her hands.

Turns out, at home sparring she was just humoring him, more accurately put, Shen Zuimo accompanied him as if playing pretend training. No wonder the training he thought of as devilish, was insignificant in her eyes.

Weakness is a major flaw, for the first time, Xiaofan realized how weak he truly was. The bold words of protecting Shen Zuimo felt laughable at that moment. In these expressionless assassins' eyes, he was merely insignificant.

"Argh. Bastard. I'll fight you to the end."

And so what if weak? So what if insignificant? His beloved woman was fighting before his eyes, and as a man, could he only watch, unable to help? No? Even if it means death, Xiaofan absolutely will not be a coward, one who needs a woman's protection.

Xiaofan's sudden charge distracted the two assassins encircling Shen Zuimo, while defending against Shen Zuimo, one of them couldn't handle it, and got rammed hard by Xiaofan's sudden rush.

It wasn't finished yet, having succeeded, Xiaofan couldn't let the opponent rise again, he fiercely grabbed the opponent's arm and yanked hard, dislocating an assassin's arm. But not stopping there, fearing the opponent could rise, Xiaofan targeted their leg, reaching swiftly.

This scene stunned the watching assassins; in the information they got, this guy should be just a regular high school student, but why…

'Thump.'

This time Xiaofan didn't succeed, Blood Wolf swiftly charged in, raising his leg to Xiaofan's chest, delivering a hard kick.

'Ah' Xiaofan hurled backward, smashing hard against the car again. Throat sweetening, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His consciousness blurred once more.

Damn, three ribs broken. Shen Zuimo, Shen Zuimo, you must leave, hurry up. But no matter how Xiaofan opened his mouth, the sound couldn't escape his throat.

"Xiaofan..." Shen Zuimo cried out, Xiaofan had helped deal with one assassin, yet another rushed in blocking her. Watching Blood Wolf walking toward Xiaofan, she couldn't break free to save him.

A cold knife pressed against his throat. Xiaofan's vision almost couldn't open normally, the agony all over threatening to knock him out any minute.

"Hmph, the boss said retain the nightingale's life, but didn't say not to kill you, kid, why meddle in things living well? Blame yourself." Blood Wolf raised his hand, killers never hesitating.

"Stop. Don't hurt him." Seeing Xiaofan on the brink of death, Shen Zuimo urgently shouted.

"Nightingale oh nightingale, you've truly lost memory. Hand over the item obediently, or I'll kill your man in front of you." Blood Wolf had never seen nightingale care for anyone so much before, never, this was the first time, and it was a trivial outsider.

"I can go with you, but you must promise not to harm him..." Shen Zuimo halted, ceased resisting.

"Who do you think you are? You're in no position to bargain." Blood Wolf evidently hated Ye Xiaofan very much, if not for him, he wouldn't be injured nor face organizational penalty.

"If he dies, I'll die too, you'll never get what you want." Shen Zuimo coldly said, she reverted to her former aloofness at that moment. Except when looking at Xiaofan, showing slight tenderness, she became an iceberg once more.
