Chapter 43
still has underhanded tricks up its sleeve.
"What's going on?"
"This kid really has some skills." The man in the white vest was completely dumbfounded.
However, this guy does have some reaction ability.
Upon discovering Chen Huan's extraordinary martial prowess, they immediately led their men to retreat.
They immediately distanced themselves from Chen Huan and took Zhao Liping, who was already tied to the ground, hostage.
"Kid, if you don't want this woman to be disfigured, you'd better stand there obediently!" The man in the white vest pulled out a knife and placed it against Zhao Liping's fair face.
Zhao Liping was so frightened that she dared not breathe, her face grew paler and paler, and tears kept falling down her cheeks.
Chen Huan frowned and stopped walking.
He had seen many hostage-taking scenes in movies.
He was well aware that if he wanted to protect Zhao Liping from harm, he would definitely be targeted, and her life might be in danger.
So before the man in the white vest could even begin to make his demands, he said directly, "Whatever Zhao Siming gave you, I'll give you double."
The man in the white vest paused for a moment, then said, "This kid's pretty savvy."
"But judging from your shabby appearance, you don't seem to have any money. You can't just try to fool people."
Chen Huan took out his phone from his pocket, opened the chat app, and tapped on the balance screen.
He then beckoned to his subordinate in the white vest to come and check.
"Brother, this kid has some money, over fifty thousand."
Upon hearing this, the man in the white vest's eyes lit up immediately, and a wicked scheme instantly formed in his mind.
"Let's swindle this kid out of his 50,000 yuan first, then get the work done, and later get another share from Zhao Siming. Isn't that great?"
Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on the white-vested man's face.
He praised her, "You really are deeply devoted."
"Since you're so sensible, this matter is negotiable."
"Transfer all the money to me, and I'll let you two go. You can leave this place after that."
Looking at his hypocritical act, Chen Huan felt disgusted.
However, it was all an act. He said, "Okay, people in the underworld are loyal and trustworthy. I believe you."
"I'll give you the password, you can transfer it yourself," Chen Huan responded cooperatively, and then took two more steps forward.
Just as the people in white vests began to feel a little wary, they quickly stopped in their tracks.
Next, gently swing your arm and toss the phone to the person in the white vest a few meters away.
The latter is now completely preoccupied with the tens of thousands of yuan Chen Huan mentioned over the phone.
These small-town thugs are used to extorting and collecting protection money. It's normal for them to collect three or five hundred yuan, and three or five thousand yuan is enough to make them very happy.
Now, a sum of 50,000 yuan is incredibly attractive.
The man in the white vest stared intently at the phone Chen Huan had thrown at him, afraid that it might fall to the ground and break, preventing him from getting the money inside.
Without hesitation, he withdrew the hand that was holding the knife and took Chen Huan's phone with both hands.
"Now is the time!" After acting for so long, Chen Huan finally found the right moment to strike.
Not only the person in the white vest, but everyone else also focused their attention on the old cell phone hanging in mid-air.
Chen Huan charged straight forward.
He covered the distance between himself and the man in the white vest in just two steps, arriving in front of the man in the white vest almost at the same time as the phone he threw.
"You!" The man in the white vest realized something was wrong and instinctively tried to attack Chen Huan with the knife in his hand.
But Chen Huan'an's speed was once again so fast that he couldn't understand it.
A brutal impact struck him directly in the chest.
With a bang, the stocky man in the white vest was knocked off his feet and flew backward three or four meters before crashing hard into a tree.
It hurt so much that my eyeballs felt like they were going to pop out.
When he landed, Chen Huan was already standing next to Zhao Liping, who was tied up.
"Cut him down!" the man in the white vest managed to command.
The men he brought along also reacted quickly, brandishing their machetes and attacking Chen Huan simultaneously.
Zhao Liping was so frightened she almost fainted, fearing something might happen to Chen Huan, and also afraid that she would suffer the same tragic end.
But amidst the flashing blades, Chen Huan handled the situation with surprising ease.
A strike as swift as lightning, a sweeping kick as powerful as the wind.
Within seconds, all the thugs under the white vest's command were screaming as they were knocked to the ground.
"Is this kid even human?"
"How can he be so strong?" Leaning against a tree, Bai Weixin, in so much pain he couldn't get up, was spitting blood and wondering if he was dreaming.
He's been a thug for many years and has encountered all sorts of tough guys and hardened criminals.
But today has truly opened my eyes; I'm starting to question the meaning of life.
Chen Huan glanced around, then bent down to remove the wooden stick from Zhao Liping's mouth and cut the ropes binding her.
Zhao Liping burst into tears and, the moment she was helped up, threw herself into Chen Huan's arms.
"It's alright, I'm here, don't be afraid anymore." Chen Huan gently patted Zhao Liping's back, comforting her softly.
These people, including those in white vests, won't be able to get up anytime soon; they'll all have at least a few broken bones.
If it weren't for the concern that causing someone's death would bring unnecessary trouble, Chen Huan could definitely keep them all here with his current abilities.
Stay here forever.
Just as he was considering how to deal with these bastards,
Suddenly, I smelled a familiar yet strange scent in the air.
It has a pungent, spicy taste, accompanied by a whooshing sound.
"There's a hidden weapon!" Chen Huan immediately became alert.
Then he picked up Zhao Liping and quickly moved her two meters to the side.
Then he saw a paper package thrown at him from behind, from who knows where.
That unique spicy aroma comes from the paper package.
With a snap, the paper package fell to the ground and then burst open.
A cloud of grayish-white dust immediately spread out, covering an area with a diameter of more than two meters.
"Lime powder!"
"You bastard, what grudge do you have against me that you resort to such underhanded tricks?" Chen Huan turned around quickly while holding Zhao Liping in his arms.
At that moment, he saw a sleazy-looking guy standing behind a clump of trees not far away.
He was clearly an accomplice of these thugs, but he had been lying in ambush beforehand.
At this moment, he raised another paper packet containing lime powder, ready to throw it here.
"You think you're so great?" Chen Huan reached behind his back and pulled out a dagger from his waist.
He snatched the dagger from the Zhao family. He felt that it had a unique design and was made of good material, so he always carried it with him.
This proved useful at this moment.
After receiving the inheritance, his physical strength increased greatly, and the consumption of the Golden Elixir further removed many impurities from his body.
Chen Huan's physical condition has long surpassed that of a normal person, and he can now cut with both speed and precision.
With a soft "plop," it pierced right into the paper packet containing lime.
The other person was still in the upward throwing motion when the paper package broke open and spilled all over his head and face.
A scream rang out in an instant.
"This kid really has some skills." The man in the white vest was completely dumbfounded.
However, this guy does have some reaction ability.
