Chapter 961: Chapter 961: Only I Can Guard It (8)

The winter morning was very cold, and the dawn came later than usual. To allow students to get better rest, the morning reading session was delayed by over twenty minutes. Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi left their house at seven-fifty.

Her hand was still not healed, and while she could previously carry some light items, now she carried nothing at all, with Xiu Xi taking care of everything.

Leaving from the street in front of their house, perhaps because the winter was too cold, aside from breakfast joints, other shops had not yet opened. Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi walked on the deserted street, with Jiaojiao chatting cheerfully to Xiu Xi about recent events. At this time, a black sedan drove up in front of them, followed by a motorcycle.

Initially, they didn’t pay much attention, but then the sedan suddenly stopped about fifty meters ahead of them, and three men got out, looking aggressive and clearly coming for them.

Ruan Jiaojiao was startled, and Xiu Xi, walking by her side, also sensed the danger and immediately pulled her behind him.

With a grim expression on his face, Xiu Xi had yet to act when the motorcycle behind them drifted to a stop right in front of them, positioning itself between the three men who had gotten out of the car and Ruan Jiaojiao and him.

It turned out to be Nie Xiaowu and Duan Shaowei, who may not have realized that the three men were targeting Ruan Jiaojiao and him. As soon as they got off their bike, Nie Xiaowu and Duan Shaowei both removed their helmets.

Perhaps because the weather was too cold, and Nie Xiaowu, in an attempt to look cool, only wore a very thin leather jacket, he shivered as he removed his helmet and turned his head to Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi with a flattering smile: "Hey kiddo, off to class? How about stopping for a chat, Uncle will treat you to Yangchun noodles?"

Right beside where they had stopped was a noodle shop, but so early in the morning there was hardly any business. The owner was just dozing off inside, and possibly stirred by the commotion outside, he craned his neck from behind the two big coal stoves to look out.

Then he saw Ruan Jiaojiao and the others. Just as he was about to greet them, the three men in black who had gotten out of the car already approached aggressively, trying to sidestep the motorcycle to grab Ruan Jiaojiao. Ruan Jiaojiao, holding onto Xiu Xi, turned their heads and ran, while the noodle shop’s owner, sensing trouble, immediately dashed out from behind the coal stoves, shouting to Ruan Jiaojiao: "Little girl, come here quick, come to Uncle’s place!"

Ruan Jiaojiao dragged Xiu Xi and they both ran into the noodle shop.

"What the hell is going on?" Nie Xiaowu was a bit dumbfounded watching the three men approach from behind.

But the three of them didn’t take any notice of Nie Xiaowu and Duan Shaowei, their target was clearly Ruan Jiaojiao. Seeing her running into the noodle shop, they followed to grab her.

They were too dismissive of them, weren’t they?

Nie Xiaowu felt disrespected and puffed up with indignation as he got off his bike and blocked the way of the three men, looking up and shouting, "Hey, buddies, what’s this about? There’s an order to things, right?"

Nie Xiaowu might not have been tall and imposing, but he still put on a confident front, standing in front of the three burly men and shouting up at them.

But the three burly men were clearly not afraid of him, gave him a glance, and wanting not to entangle with him nor to attract more attention, which would hinder their actions, the leader coldly ordered: "Move aside!"

"Why move aside, we got here first!" Nie Xiaowu continued to shout, mainly for his pride. If he gave way just because someone else told him to, how could he continue to mix in Changling! He was the boss of Changling Third District, after all!
