Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Fell into a Trap

The moment the man moved, Luoyu leaned back vigilantly, barely avoiding the opponent’s attack.

Immediately following, seven or eight thugs swarmed in.

Li Qiao sat in the car, watching Luoyu being surrounded, her expression still as indifferent as water.

From the looks of the fight, Luoyu and the eight men were evenly matched for now.

Moreover, from her offensive moves and sharp reflexes, she seemed more than capable of handling them, apparently a seasoned fighter herself.

Li Qiao felt somewhat superfluous in coming back, being one of Shang Yu’s four main assistants, she shouldn’t have trouble dealing with these hoodlums.

However, just then, the leader in black seized an opportunity, suddenly sidestepping and kicking towards Luoyu’s abdomen.

Luoyu managed to dodge, but was still struck by the tip of the man’s shoe at her side waist.

The eight strong men continued their relentless attacks, and even the tenacious Luoyu was inevitably overwhelmed.

She stepped back twice, spat out the cigarette butt in her mouth, and clenched her teeth, seemingly searching for a way out.

But, after kicking her, the man slightly raised his hand, and the others immediately halted their attacks.

He brushed off his collar and taunted, "President Yu, not having seen you for a while, it seems your skills have deteriorated."

"Not having seen you for a while, you’re still as long-winded as ever."

Facing Luoyu’s sarcastic retort, the man didn’t get angry but instead leisurely pulled out a sharp folding dagger from his pocket, flipping it on his fingertips, "President Yu, there’s no point in showing off your wit.

Instead, take a look at this dagger, recognize it? Let me remind you, I used it to carve into Qingyu’s flesh, bone-deep. How about it, would you like to take a close look?"

Mentioning Qingyu, Luoyu’s complexion instantly altered.

Even Li Qiao inside the car couldn’t help but narrow her eyes – the gruesomely dead Qingyu at the mortuary, they were the killers?

So it seemed, these men must be the Yan Emperor’s adversaries.

At this moment, Luoyu’s reaction did not escape the man’s observation. He continued toying with the dagger, sneering, "Tsk, it’s such a pity indeed. That talented young man sacrificed his life just to protect your research secrets.

President Yu, we all play the game by its rules; don’t you also feel it’s unworthy? How about this... let’s make a deal? Just tell me what I want to know, and I’ll let you go.

Otherwise, after tonight, Shang Shaoyan’s four loyal guards might be reduced to three."

This man really did talk too much.

Luoyu spat at him expressionlessly, "Dream on, asshole!"

Seeing Luoyu’s emotional outburst, the man again earnestly attempted to persuade her, "President Yu, don’t reject me so hastily. Take your time to think about it, I have all night to keep you company.

Of course, don’t even hope someone will come to rescue you. Tonight, no one can enter this road.

Moreover, did you really think I wouldn’t know that Shang Shaoyan left the South Sea this morning?"

What he implied was clear, without Shang Shaoyan, no one could save her.

Luoyu looked at the dagger in his hand with an expressionless face, her nostrils flaring slightly, a fierce determination shining in her eyes, "You killed Qingyu?"

"So what if I did? Looking for payback?" The man arrogantly raised his eyebrows, sniffing the dagger, "You know, it seems like his blood is still on it."

"Fuck you!" Luoyu roared in rage, and before the thugs could react, she swiftly lunged at the man with a punch.

Seeing this, Li Qiao frowned and exhaled deeply.

Luoyu was losing!

The man had clearly provoked her on purpose, and Luoyu had taken the bait.

Indeed, at the moment Li Qiao stepped out of the car, the angry Luoyu became disordered in her offense.

She attacked the man with all her might in every move, yet the man in black deftly dodged all her assaults.
