My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 192: Chapter 0192 To Succeed You Must Fight (Part 4)_1

Xiao Jiu had been a small-time thug for less than two months.

He never wanted to be one, but his dad fell ill and needed a lump sum for surgery.

Bald Li saw his clever mind and promised him six thousand a month and even paid in advance, so to sustain the hospital expenses, Xiao Jiu took this path.

His classmates didn’t understand, each one looked down on him, even the girl who liked him was very disappointed.

He would never forget that day.

Bald Li had summoned him to threaten a student at school.

The moment he appeared as a thug, the disappointment in the eyes of the girl who liked him pierced his heart cruelly.

If he could get two million, he wouldn’t have to keep being a thug, living a life licking blood off blades.

His dad’s medical bills would also have a solution.

Such opportunities didn’t come often.

Xiao Jiu took out a cheap cigarette from his clothes and put it in his mouth.

Due to excessive nervousness, the lighter failed to ignite the cigarette several times.

Xiao Jiu originally didn’t smoke, but Bald Li said that if you don’t smoke, others won’t be afraid of you when you’re out there being a thug, so he started smoking.

“Boss’s guys are on their way; they’ll probably take about fifteen minutes to arrive. I’ll go up first to have a look. Remember, fifth floor, third room on the right, don’t get it wrong,” Xiao Jiu earnestly instructed his two underlings.

“Xiao Jiu bro, what do you want to do?” Red Hair and Green Hair were startled and quickly said, “We can just wait here for the rescue. If you go up alone, aren’t you just walking into your death?”

“There’s no time.”

Xiao Jiu took a hard drag on his cigarette and said, “I saw that guy unbuttoning his shirt just now. It’s very likely that before help arrives, the girl will be violated. If she’s violated, even if we rescue her, her purity for life is ruined.”

“But you’re alone, and you don’t know martial arts. How can you fight them?” Red Hair asked anxiously.

“How does the saying go, you’ve got to take a gamble to win. For two million, for saving someone, I can’t care about so much.”

Xiao Jiu took another hard drag on his cigarette, tossed the butt on the ground, pulled out a dagger from his chest, and ran towards the stairwell.

Red Hair and Green Hair exchanged a glance and immediately began to pace anxiously like ants on a hot pan.

Old Third came up from downstairs and opened the door.

Old Second and Boss quickly came over and asked, “What’s going on?”

“Those three punks had their car stolen, they thought our car was theirs, freaking lunatics,” Old Third cursed.

“Stolen car?”

Boss frowned, “They can’t even recognize their own car.”

“Might be because the light’s too dim. I opened the car door to let them have a look, and when he saw it wasn’t his car, he just left.”

Old Third recounted the details.

After hearing the story, Boss stood up quickly, “This is bad, we’ve been made. We need to get out of here fast.”

“How can that be possible, they’re not cops, just a few snot-nosed punks,” Old Third somewhat disbelieved.

“Believe me, my gut feeling is never wrong,” Boss said.

“Those bastards, couldn’t they come later, after we’re done having our way with this dame?” Old Second cursed foully.

“What do we do with the chick?” Old Third asked.

Boss glanced at Tang Ning, his gaze fiercely settling on her chest.

Having just landed a fat sheep, he really didn’t want to let it slip away.

“What if we finish our business and then leave?” Old Second said unwillingly.

“Are you insane? How long will you take to finish your business?” Boss thought for a moment and then told Old Third, “Take her up, we’ll find another place to finish off this dame.”

Old Third walked over, picked up Tang Ning, and the three of them headed downstairs, one in front of the other.

When they reached the stairs on the first floor, they happened to see Xiao Jiu going upstairs.

The two parties locked eyes for a moment, and Old Third burst out in rage, “Boss, it’s this kid.”

Xiao Jiu, seeing Old Third carrying a girl and gripping his knife tightly, yelled, “Put the person down, or you all have only one way out—death.”

A loud voice can embolden the heart.

Xiao Jiu knew he absolutely couldn’t let them leave, otherwise, the two million would be gone.

He had to hold them off until the rescue arrived.

“Old Second, waste this kid,” Boss ordered.

Old Second pulled out a gleaming knife and pointed it at Xiao Jiu, yelling, “You stinking brat, if you know what’s good for you, get lost.”

“`

“You can go, but leave the person behind.” Xiao Jiu gripped the knife, his voice tense as he spoke.

“Look at how you’re holding that knife, you’ve never stabbed someone, have you?” Old Second flashed a ferocious smile and sneered, “Let me tell you, I’ve killed at least eight people if not ten. If you don’t want to die, just get the hell out of here.”

“What’s the point of all this crap, just do it,” Boss commanded.

Old Second swung his knife fiercely, stabbing forward.

Xiao Jiu watched his opponent’s hand closely, his body slid past like a slippery eel, hissing as he sliced a gash in Old Second’s thigh.

That one cut completely enraged Old Second.

“Damn, pretty nimble, aren’t you? Watch how I’m going to cripple you.”

After saying that, Old Second pounced fiercely, grappling with Xiao Jiu.

In terms of size, Xiao Jiu was almost equal to Old Second, but in combat experience, he was far behind.

Within moments, Xiao Jiu was slashed several times, on his chest, thigh, and back—all knife wounds.

Blood soaked Xiao Jiu’s clothes, and the severe pain twisted his face into a grimace.

But inside, a hundred voices were telling him: You must hold on, hold on no matter what.

In his heart, a song began to play, inspiring him.

Three parts fate set by heaven,

Seven parts rely on hard struggle,

Only the daring will win.

Boom!

Old Second’s foot kicked hard against his chest, sending him flying.

A mouthful of blood surged out, and Xiao Jiu quickly crawled up, still firmly blocking the staircase entrance, his eyes fixed on Old Second like a venomous snake.

“To hell with this, this kid is freaking tough,” Old Second spat out phlegm, cursing fiercely.”

“What’s driving him, is he really not afraid of dying?” Old Third was also shocked by Xiao Jiu’s stubbornness.

“Ignorant of death.

Boss took the knife from Old Second and walked over with large strides.

Swish, swish, swish!

Flashes of white light.

The knife carved into Xiao Jiu’s body, blood pouring out.

“Trying to play hero and save the beauty, improve your martial arts in the next life before you try that!”

After speaking, the knife in Boss’s hand mercilessly swiped towards Xiao Jiu’s neck.

At the critical juncture,

Suddenly, a green shadow intercepted, Green Hair leaping forward to ensnare Boss’s neck.

“Red Hair, attack!”

Red Hair followed immediately, smashing his stick hard onto Boss’s hand, knocking the dagger from his grip.

In a moment of life and death, two seemingly useless underlings rescued Xiao Jiu.

Being embarrassed by three brats, Boss was utterly furious, whooshing a kick out, sending Red Hair flying three meters away, crashing into the wall and tumbling down.

Then, with a shoulder throw, he flung the Green Hair, who had entangled himself around him, also slamming against the wall.

“This guy knows martial arts, we’re at a loss,” Red Hair said, mouth full of blood, as he fell.

And Green Hair, he was too dazed to speak after being thrown.

“Dare to fight me, I’ll kick you to death.”

Boss walked over and kicked Green Hair hard on his body.

Xiao Jiu picked up the dagger from the ground and fiercely attacked Boss from behind.

It was as if Boss had eyes on his back, suddenly catching Xiao Jiu’s hand, pinching his wrist.

Xiao Jiu’s hand hurt, and the knife fell.

“Be a hero in your next life!”

Boss seized the floating dagger in midair, plunging it towards Xiao Jiu’s stomach.

Just as the knife was about to penetrate Xiao Jiu’s stomach, stopping just a centimeter away, the knife halted.

A hand timely grasped Boss’s hand.
