Chapter 105: One hundred and five, Gu Chen, he must not have an accident! _1

Ji Pianran persisted tirelessly in following behind.

After all, she was a woman.

Whether it was endurance or speed, she clearly couldn’t match up to the two men.

Soon she fell behind, but she clenched her teeth, unwilling to give up.

Sweat dampened the wisps of hair on her forehead.

They fell in large drops.

The early spring season carried a chill, and with each breath, a stabbing pain shot through her nostrils.

Her throat felt as if it were on fire, with a fierce, acrid taste.

It was truly unbearable.

Ji Pianran touched her face.

Her already fair skin had become even more delicate from the sweat.

Her pace had noticeably slowed down.

But still, not admitting defeat, she continued forward.

Just now, she had clearly seen the two men enter an alley not far ahead.

She had to go in.

She had to find her Gu Chen!

Gu Chen, he must not have an accident!

At the narrow end of the alley.

Ma Huan was confronting Gu Chen, neither willing to concede.

One held a dagger shimmering with a cold light, and the other clutched a discarded pole he had picked up.

Ma Huan’s hand tightened around the dagger, his face the epitome of disdain.

"Fuck you!"

He hadn’t finished speaking when he fiercely pounced on Gu Chen.

Gu Chen immediately raised his hand to block with the pole,

then quickly sidestepped.

The knife struck the center of the pole, instantly splitting it in two.

Thinking this guy was so fierce, if that strike had been aimed at him, he probably would have lost his life.

A tremor went through Gu Chen’s heart.

Without time to think further, he raised his leg and viciously kicked towards Ma Huan.

After all, he had been a security guard in his past life.

Although he couldn’t compare to a police officer, he had been trained.

He had some skills.

His reaction was fast, but Ma Huan’s was even faster.

Leaning back, his hands instantly latched onto Gu Chen’s leg, pulling hard, and then the two of them fell to the ground, starting to grapple hand-to-hand.

Compared to Ma Huan, Gu Chen had a more solid build, whether it was in height or weight, he had some advantage.

He didn’t have to use his full strength, and soon he had Ma Huan pinned underneath him.

Although Ma Huan was skinny, he had more determination than Gu Chen.

Moreover, if the fight dragged on, the police were likely to show up soon.

And for him, that would mean he was completely finished.

If he lost, he would lose his life!

He summoned all his strength again to flip over, pressing Gu Chen under him, his other hand stretching out, stretching further, trying to reach for the dagger that had fallen less than half a meter away.

At this moment, Ji Pianran finally entered the alley, gasping for breath.

Seeing the scene in front of her, her beautiful almond eyes instantly filled with panic, and her heart felt like it might jump out of her throat.

She fixed her gaze firmly on Ma Huan.

Was he trying to kill Gu Chen?!!

No!

Gu Chen absolutely could not be in danger!

She clenched her fists, even forgetting to breathe heavily.

Anxiously, she looked around for something to use.

Then, without thinking, she grabbed a flower pot from behind someone’s window.

And charged forward without a second thought.

At that moment, Ji Pianran’s mind went blank, with one clear intention.

That was, she had to save Gu Chen!

Meanwhile, Gu Chen didn’t stop either, taking advantage of Ma Huan reaching for the dagger to flip him back under him.

He followed up with another kick, sending the dagger even further away without hesitation.

A good move to ensure his own safety.

It has to be said, having a bit of a height advantage really helps – longer legs, can’t help it.

With that kick, the dagger actually flew another meter.

Just as Gu Chen let out a sigh of relief, he saw Ji Pianran rushing over with a flowerpot in her arms.

The moment he saw her, Gu Chen’s eyes suddenly widened!

His heart even leapt to his throat.

Fuck!

What’s his wife doing here?

This is way too dangerous!

What if she gets hurt? What then?

Ma Huan, being petite, was naturally a bit more agile. Seeing Gu Chen distracted, he took the chance to flip over him.

Struggling to lock onto Gu Chen’s neck.

A myriad of curses raced through Gu Chen’s mind.

Shameless, taking advantage of him looking at his wife and launching a sneak attack!

He was about to deliver a heavy punch to the nose, his fist already halfway there,

when something surprising happened!

Ji Pianran firmly smashed the flowerpot she was holding onto Ma Huan’s head without any hesitation.

Then there was a "thud" of a dull sound.

Dirt scattered all over her head.

Ma Huan felt a sudden dullness in his head, and his whole body went limp as if out of control.

Gu Chen, not minding the dirt that blinded his eyes, took the opportunity to flip over and pinned Ma Huan firmly beneath him.

With one hand, he locked onto his neck.

Threatening, "Stay down if you know what’s good for you!"

His wife had arrived; he had to finish it quickly and not let her worry.

Ma Huan still wanted to struggle, but then he saw Ji Pianran shakily pick up the dagger from the ground and take two steps towards him.

Both hands holding it, she looked at Ma Huan with a tense face.

"Don’t, don’t move!"

If he dared to hurt Gu Chen again, she would fight him with her life!

Behind them, the sound of police sirens grew louder, drawing near.

Then, three police officers ran over.

Ji Pianran continued to hold the dagger towards Ma Huan without daring to let go, even though Gu Chen had pinned him firmly against the wall corner, posing no danger. She still clutched the dagger tightly.

It seemed that as long as the dagger was in her hand, Gu Chen would surely be safe.

When she saw the police officers, Ma Huan finally gave into despair, sighed deeply, and stopped resisting.

After Ma Huan was taken away in the police car, the officers communicated briefly with Gu Chen to get an overview of the situation before turning to look at Ji Pianran.

She still looked tense, so nervous that she even forgot to put the knife down; she was clearly terrified.

Gu Chen’s heart felt like it was shattering.

He walked over in two steps, eyes full of tenderness as he took her hand and comforted her softly, "It’s okay now, nothing to worry about, wife, you were very brave."

His voice was like a powerful sedative.

Ji Pianran blinked frantically, finally coming back to her senses from the fear.

She took a deep breath, feeling her heartbeat slowly settle back into her chest, thumping steadily and strongly.

Her fair hand finally relaxed, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

The knife clattered to the ground.

She had been truly scared just now, afraid that the man would get the knife.

Afraid he would hurt Gu Chen.

Now, recalling the scene, she couldn’t help but shake.

Body against body, their heartbeats overlapping each other.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Gu Chen’s heart melted incredibly.

Although Ji Pianran seemed cold and fearless on the surface, she was still a girl after all.

This kind of thing, it wasn’t just her – even he had never encountered anything like it before.

How could she possibly not be scared?

Actually, Gu Chen was very clear in his mind, Ma Huan was not a match for him at all.

If it weren’t for Ji Pianran distracting him, Ma Huan might have already been subdued.

But that didn’t lessen his moved feelings and gratitude towards Ji Pianran.
