Chapter Seventy-Three: Entwined in Combat, Escaping Danger

  Subconsciously, Su Mo also disliked the way men addressed her and spoke to her, as well as the way they looked at her. Everything made her feel unaccustomed. Her voice was cold, and her eyes didn't hold a hint of warmth. "Please mind your tone when speaking, our relationship doesn't seem to be as familiar as your tone suggests."

  As for Su Mo Ruo's attitude, the black-clad men and middle-aged man around him all had angry expressions, but the elegant, charming and handsome man who looked like a woman showed no concern at all, with just a faint smile, "You look like you're not in a good mood."

  "My temper has never been good." The man replied affirmatively.

  Hehe, before coming, Luo Zimo had guessed Su Moruo's personality and tone of speech, but he didn't expect that this girl would be more interesting and attractive than he imagined. With a slight smile, he walked closer to Su Moruo and said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you something earlier... That is, after drinking this tea, you will become my wife, their madam..."

  I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Before Su Mo could speak, Hao Gang had already gotten angry, "What kind of nonsense rules are these? If I drank that fruit tea, would you say I have to be your wife too?"

  A strong and unyielding man, speaking these words still felt a bit awkward, but thinking of Su Mo Ruo's current situation, the other party was being too overbearing, how could he let Su Mo Ruo be toyed with by these people any further.

  Luozhi Wu listened, the corners of his lips were stained with interest, looking at Suomoruo's gaze, smiling brightly, but he didn't rush to speak, instead, he looked around at the people, finally fixing his gaze on Hao Gang's body, curled his lips, revealing a row of white teeth, although he was smiling, but somehow gave people a feeling of coldness and eeriness.

  "I feel that we haven't fulfilled our host's obligations yet, hurry up and ask Captain Hao to go to the other reception hall, take good care of them, do you know?"

  "What do you want to do?" Su Mo Ruo couldn't help but grab Hao Gang, only because she was worried about Hao Gang's reflexive action, without any other meaning. However, Su Mo Ruo's action, seen in the man's eyes, didn't feel right. His double eyelids narrowed dangerously, and his originally calm demeanor changed instantly. A pair of eyes like ice knives fiercely stared at Su Mo Ruo.

  "You should keep your distance." He had a natural aversion to germs and couldn't help it. Since Sumo had already set his sights on her, the blood in her veins was already an established fact. Even if she didn't have feelings for this woman, his status required him to have a wife like her, and there was no going back.

  Looking at the man exuding a dangerous aura, Su Mo had no fear, raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and in terms of momentum, she was not inferior to the man. "My business, you'd better not interfere. Also, please be clear that there is no relationship between us. Your so-called 'drinking tea makes her your wife' I don't believe it, nor will I agree."

  "You'll agree." After saying that, he walked straight to the single sofa not far away and sat down, smiling at Su Mo Ruo and Hao Gang.

  At the same time, the black-clad men around them moved, slowly surrounding Su Mo and Hao Gang in the middle.

  A middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside Su Mo and said to Hao Gang, "Captain Hao, I hope you can give us some face, let's go to another waiting room."

  "Alright." Hao Gang agreed without any hesitation and said, pulling Su Mo Ruo to leave.

  But the man in black had no intention of letting him go, his eyes fixed on Sumo beside him.

  "Since we've come together, we'll naturally go through it together." Hand in hand, Hao Gang was looking for a breakthrough.

  Suddenly, without waiting for him to react, Sumo Rou let go of his hand and followed with a crouch, swinging one leg out in a 180-degree sweep. The people who had originally surrounded them were caught off guard and were instantly knocked down by Sumo Rou's move.

  But these people were not ordinary people. Although they had been hit by Sumo, they quickly reacted and got up from the ground with agile movements.

  "Get moving." This voice naturally came from the elegant demon boy's mouth.

  A group of black-clad men saw that Young Master Luo had already spoken, and there was no room for hesitation. In an instant, they swarmed towards Su Mo Ruo and Hao Gang.

  Of course, because they knew that Su Mo Ruo would definitely be their young mistress, so when Su Mo Ruo made a move, they all left some room for maneuver, even if they were injured themselves, they didn't dare hurt Su Mo Ruo in the slightest.

  But Hao Gang was different. Many people were afraid to fight Su Mo Rou, fearing that she would get hurt, so more people targeted Hao Gang instead.

  Hao grew up in the army since he was a child, entered the Dragon Clan at a young age and even became the captain of the Dragon Team. This is something that many people can't achieve, but he succeeded, so in the eyes of many, he's very formidable, with solid kung fu skills, and his martial arts ranking is even among the top ten in the entire country of Z.

  So for now, he can still hold on for a little while longer.

  Su Mo'er, on the other hand, showed no mercy at all. Seeing Hao Gang's situation, she also knew that her own situation was very dangerous. She took a glance at the man sitting leisurely in front of her, gritted her teeth fiercely, and thought to herself: "To capture the thief, one must first capture the king." Today, if they couldn't take down this "king", it was likely that even if they managed to defeat these people, they still wouldn't be able to leave this place.

  Sumojo quickly changed his policy of fighting himself, step by step, rapidly approaching Luo's dusk.

  And the people around also discovered this problem, slowly, the number of people besieging Su Mo Ruo also increased.

  "Get out, all of you." The man's calm voice was now tinged with a chill as he slowly stood up from the sofa. It was unbelievable that Su Moruo, just a young girl, had been beaten to the point where she lay on the ground. Luo Zhi Wu knew his subordinates' skills well - one of them could take down dozens of ordinary people. But today, they couldn't even stop a single girl. This scene made Luo Zhi Wu's anger surge up.

  Everyone around heard his words, as the highest commander of the entire scene, naturally when she spoke, everyone stopped moving and focused their attention on Luo Zhi's body, also retreating to one side.

  "You're good." Just as the chill in the air made everyone feel like they were going to freeze into ice blocks, Luo Zhi Wu finally spoke up. His simple words seemed to make the cold winter even more biting, making people shiver uncontrollably.

  Sumo looked straight at the iceberg man in front of her, beautiful as a demon, but seemed to have a bad temper. Today, being made a fool of by these people, even if she were a god, there would be fire in her belly. Originally, she wasn't a god, and if you said she had a good temper, she never had one from childhood to adulthood. Whether it was Mu Qing or the present-day Sumo, those who knew her treated her like a plague god, all because of her not-so-good temper.

  "It's none of your business whether I'm good or not." She replied coldly, her tone absolutely unpleasant.

  Luò Zhī Mù listened, not getting angry but instead smiling. The demonic face in front of him was painted with a smile, and his voice was even more enchanting, making people unable to help but sink into his laughter. Looking at Sū Mò Ruò, his voice was really pleasant to hear. "Hǎo Dà Duì Zhǎng, if you don't want all of you to get into trouble, I hope you'll leave... I can guarantee that she won't come to any harm." If he still needed to use force in a situation like this, it would be too humiliating. At the very least, from childhood to adulthood, he had never failed to get what he wanted.

  Hao Gang was already worried about Su Mo Ruo, how could he possibly agree to go out?

  Just as he was about to refuse, Su Mo's voice suddenly came from beside his ear, "I'll be fine, you go out first and act according to the situation." Su Mo's voice was very soft, only the two of them could hear it.

  All words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say another word. His gaze wandered between the two for a long time before he finally turned around and walked out of the villa.

  In an instant, the villa was left with only Sumo Ruo and the demon boy Luo Zhi Mu.

  "Come on, if you can beat me, I'll let you leave today."

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo was somewhat surprised. She had originally thought that there would be a fierce battle today, but unexpectedly, the demon man she had considered to be the most difficult to talk to and the most troublesome had actually been the first to give in.

  His movements were as swift as lightning, and with one kick, he launched a sharp-angled attack that left Su Mo Ruo still reeling. He took the blow head-on but was forced to retreat several steps back until he reached the corner of the wall, where he slowly regained his footing. His eyes locked onto Luo Zhi Wu, and he couldn't help but feel a little incredulous - this man should be absolutely arrogant, so how could he not give himself time to prepare before directly engaging in combat?

  "I've never said I'm a gentleman." The man's voice was clear and elegant, but it made people who heard it grit their teeth in anger.

  This time, Sumojo didn't hide his strength again. In an instant, the aura around him surged violently, his eyes fixed firmly as he charged towards Luo Zimo.

  He reached out and grasped Su Mo Ruo's palm, his strong hand entering her own, but only for a moment before quickly letting go. However, it was enough to swiftly dispel the shock in Luo Zhi Mu's eyes. Looking at Su Mo Ruo, he felt wave after wave of astonishment in his heart. This woman, so young in years, yet with skills and the feeling from their earlier touch, were all so unbelievable.

  Surrounding gusts of strong winds, the two people were already trembling together, a man and a woman, their movements so captivating to the eye. Each move they made left no room for the other, every punch full of power, yet to outsiders, this didn't seem like a fight, but rather a dance, elegant and unparalleled.

  Su Mo furrowed his brow, and Luo also furrowed his brow in the evening. He was surprised in his heart, and the two of them fought faster and faster. However, in each other's eyes, they both saw appreciation for each other.

  Luozhi Wu had been observing Sumo earlier on the way and thought she was just a bit skilled, but compared to himself, he absolutely wouldn't lose to her. However, now he couldn't help but believe it - every move he made seemed like she knew what was coming next, each counterattack was incredibly powerful, and her defense was flawless. Although he couldn't hurt her, she also absolutely couldn't hurt him.

  The sound of a fierce fight inside the house spread outside, Hao Gang's eyebrows were twisted together, his heart was filled with anxiety and worry, he wanted to enter the villa, looking at the dozens of "statues" in front of him, he hated it so much that his teeth itched, but at least, he could still hear the sound of fighting inside, which proved that Su Mo Ruo was here, and there was a way to deal with it, and her skills were absolutely not ordinary.

  As time passed, not only was Hao Gang surprised, but the "statues" outside were also shocked. They knew who their young master was and how skilled he was. Many of them couldn't even withstand a single move from him. But today, this girl under twenty years old, who had been brought here, was able to hold her own against their young master, whom they revered as a god, for over an hour. The sounds coming from inside seemed to indicate that she hadn't fallen back yet.

  With a punch and a kick, Su Mo seemed to have flipped her body in mid-air, retreating two steps to steady herself. She looked at the man who had also taken a step back, feeling extremely fortunate in her heart. Before fighting this man, she had already made preparations, for he was definitely a formidable opponent. Just now, her mind had been focused on dealing with him while simultaneously activating her special ability to see through his moves, which had pushed her energy to the limit. Now that she had stopped, she felt somewhat unsteady, and everything in front of her seemed blurry.

  Looking at Su Mo Ruo like this, Luo Zhi Wu's subconscious wanted to go over and catch her, but he didn't expect that she just swayed a little, and quickly stabilized her body, staring straight at him with both eyes, looking so guarded.

  For some reason, Luo Zhi Wu felt a sense of resistance and even disgust towards Su Mo Ruo's gaze. He thought he had mastered the art of hiding his emotions, but in reality, he didn't even know what kind of person or personality he truly was. Usually, many people saw him smiling brightly, but in fact, not even he himself knew what lay beneath his sunny exterior.

  "We just agreed on that." Looking at Luo Zimu, Su Mo's voice was somewhat strained, with a hint of trembling. Her legs and hands actually wanted to shake, but she forced herself to hold back. Her entire body's strength had reached its limit, and she must seize this moment to get herself and Hao Gang out of danger. She didn't want to let any of these people off the hook, but today it was clear that it was impossible to make them all disappear. She was always someone who could take things in stride, but since it wasn't possible today, then another day, she would definitely make these people pay the price.

  Her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her voice wore a clear displeasure, "What did I say?"

  "You said you'd let us go." Sumo's breath caught in her throat as she struggled to believe that this man would go back on his word.

  "Who heard it?" He had just said this when there were only two of them in the villa.

  Su Mo listened and felt a chill run down her spine. This man, was he really the young master that those people feared? Why did she feel like he was just a rogue?

  "Cough, cough..." Suddenly felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, and a wave of nausea rose up to his throat.

  Listening to the cough, Luo Zhi wanted to step forward, but suddenly, Su Mo's pair of eyes that refused him appeared in front of him. He gritted his teeth, thinking about this trip and his father's entrustment, and also thinking about Su Mo's eyes, he was torn between two sides, waging a war in his heart, for a moment, not knowing how to decide.

  The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

  "Just this once, next time I won't be so soft-hearted." As he said these words, even Luo Zhi Wu himself didn't dare to believe that they were actually coming out of his mouth. People who knew him all understood that although he usually seemed very approachable and easy-going, once he had made up his mind about something, he would absolutely not waver. This time when he came out, his mission was simply to bring her back, but unexpectedly, he ended up being soft-hearted instead. All of the plans were flawless, yet he never could have imagined that in the end, the key to ruining everything would actually be himself.

  "Really?" The person they were looking for wasn't Ning Shi Yang, so why did she suddenly realize that she was the main character? In her past life, she had never bothered to find out who the girl was that those people took away. Could it be that the girl taken away by those people in her past life was also Su Mo Ruo?

  "Don't test my patience." The sunny handsome guy who appeared earlier was still nowhere to be seen, and the man in front of me was tense all over, as if he was holding back something, his entire nervous system on high alert.

  Su Mo bit her lip, knowing that now was also an opportunity. No matter what time it was, only by leaving could she solve the problem. She wouldn't give herself a grave to dig, and only by leaving this place could other things be figured out.

  Step by step, Luo Zhi Mu watched as Su Mo Ruo walked out of the villa and opened the gate.

  The people outside didn't expect Su Mo to come out, and they subconsciously stretched out their hands to block him, but the clear and elegant voice coming from inside made them all freeze in place. "Let them leave, no one is allowed to stop them."

  Everyone was at a loss, but the commander of the law enforcement team had absolute authority there and did not allow them to question him in the slightest. All they could do was slowly put down their hands and watch as Su Mo walked up to Hao Gang's face.

  Walking up to Hao Gang, Su Mo Rou looked up at him and exchanged a silent glance, "Go start the car."

  Hao Gang also knew why, and now was not the time to ask more questions. Although he was very suspicious and wanted to explore, he quickly ran to the front empty space, opened a car, quickly ignited the engine, and drove it in front of Su Mo Ruo.

  She opened the front passenger seat and Su Mo quickly sat down.

  The car drove away in a gust of wind——

  By the way

  See you all tomorrow.
