Zhou Kexin really wanted to keep asking, what exactly was Qin Tuo hiding?

But when she thought about all the mocking, harsh things she’d said to him before, she didn’t know how to bring it up.

The car drove slowly through the city, and the two of them sat in silence.

Suddenly, Zhou Kexin spoke up:

”Qin Tuo, there might have been some misunderstandings between us before. If it’s okay, I hope we can let bygones be bygones.”

Saying this seemed to drain all the strength from Zhou Kexin’s body. She didn’t even dare to peek at Qin Tuo out of the corner of her eye.

However, Qin Tuo just gave a carefree smile.

”It’s fine. I didn’t take it to heart anyway.”

Hearing Qin Tuo say that, Zhou Kexin instantly relaxed a lot.

Recalling the scene when their two families had just met, Zhou Kexin really couldn’t figure out why Qin Tuo, who came from such a poor background, had suddenly become so capable.

’Just what kind of secrets is he hiding?’

Before long, Zhou Kexin pointed ahead and said:

”Qin Tuo, I’m stopping at that Western restaurant up ahead. You can just drive my car home from there. I won’t take you any further.”

Qin Tuo asked in surprise:

”Oh? If you give me the car, what about you?”

Zhou Kexin smiled and explained:

”Wang Lei invited his parents, and they’re treating me and my parents to dinner... We’re going to formally discuss our marriage!”

As she spoke, Zhou Kexin smiled, a glimmer of gratification in her eyes.

Qin Tuo, however, frowned slightly.

”Oh, you’re getting married so soon? Are you sure you’ve thought this through?”

Zhou Kexin stared at Qin Tuo in surprise, studying him for a moment.

She hadn’t expected Qin Tuo to react like this.

After some thought, Zhou Kexin said seriously:

”Wang Lei and I have been dating for several years. It’s about time we put marriage on the agenda. Do I have to wait until I’m an old hag to force him to marry me?”

But Qin Tuo slowly offered his advice.

”Ke Xin, I think you should really think about it some more. After all, marriage is a serious matter, not child’s play.”

Hearing this, Zhou Kexin gave a gentle smile and said understandingly:

”I know Wang Lei likes to pick on you sometimes, but he’s really good to me. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

Qin Tuo just smiled and didn’t explain further.

He knew that Wang Lei didn’t just pick on him; he was quite nasty to almost everyone.

Besides, Qin Tuo wasn’t petty enough to deliberately try and stop someone’s marriage for a reason like that.

It was just that Qin Tuo had once asked Long Wu to investigate this Wang Lei.

And Qin Tuo had discovered that while Wang Lei seemed very devoted, he was secretly a womanizing philanderer.

Looking at the blissful expression on Zhou Kexin’s face, Qin Tuo sighed inwardly.

’What a silly girl. It seems I’ll have to find a chance to expose Wang Lei for who he really is!’

Qin Tuo understood perfectly well that Zhou Kexin would never believe him if he just said it without any proof.

Just then, the car passed through an intersection, and the light grew dimmer.

There were few pedestrians around here, and accidents often happened due to obstructed views.

Zhou Kexin immediately became more cautious, slowly making the turn.

But at that very moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out of an alley and, without a word, surrounded the car!

Zhou Kexin screamed in fright and slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding hitting someone.

”Qin Tuo, what’s going on?”

Zhou Kexin asked in a panicked voice.

Qin Tuo took one look, and his expression darkened.

”We’ve been ambushed.”

Hearing Qin Tuo’s words, Zhou Kexin’s face turned deathly pale.

”Call the police! Hurry, call the police!”

Zhou Kexin’s hands trembled as she took them off the steering wheel to look for her phone.

But Qin Tuo said calmly:

”It’s too late for that now.”

The men before them were aggressive and menacing.

There were more than ten of them in total, each carrying various clubs and blades. They were clearly not your average desperadoes.

Zhou Kexin was so scared her lips trembled, and she couldn’t speak.

Qin Tuo, however, gently patted her on the shoulder and comforted her:

”It’s okay. Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”

As he spoke, he discreetly sent a sliver of Spiritual Power into her, calming her down a little.

”Get out of the car, kid!”

The leader, a burly man with a square face and a disgusting fleshy mole on his nose, shouted.

He looked like the leader of the group, holding an iron pipe with a vicious expression on his face.

Seeing no reaction from inside the car, the group of thugs started swinging their clubs and smashing it!

CRASH...

The expensive BMW was like a pile of trash in their eyes, not worth a second thought.

Inside the car, Zhou Kexin couldn’t help but let out a frightened cry!

And seeing her beloved car being trashed like this made her heart ache.

Just as Qin Tuo was about to make a move, his gaze suddenly fixed on something ahead.

He saw Zhao Peng walking slowly out of the alley, leaning on a crutch.

Beside him was Xu Min, a sinister smile on her face.

’Oh, so it’s them?’

The corners of Qin Tuo’s mouth lifted slightly into a mocking smile.

Now he understood. He had walked right into Zhao Peng’s trap.

He looked thoughtfully at the group of thugs...

Their skills were clearly extraordinary, far beyond what the Zhao Family could afford to cultivate.

In that instant, a realization dawned in Qin Tuo’s mind.

Seeing Qin Tuo still hiding in the car, Zhao Peng burst out laughing.

”Hahaha, Qin Tuo, you coward! Are you too scared to come out? Kowtow three times to your grandpa here and admit you were wrong, and maybe I’ll leave you with a whole corpse, how about it?”

The group of burly men from the Cyan Fire Gang beside him also roared with arrogant laughter.

The mission they’d received this time was to beat a yellow-haired brat to death, and they’d get a huge reward for it.

In their eyes, this was the easiest mission they could ask for.

So right now, they were all very relaxed, their faces full of mockery, in no hurry to act.

After all, the area had been cleared, and no one would come to disturb them.

Zhao Peng sneered as he walked over.

He was about to raise his crutch to smash the car when he suddenly noticed Zhou Kexin in the driver’s seat.

At that, Zhao Peng’s eyes went wide, and a look like that of a hungry wolf appeared in them!

”Damn, what a total smokeshow! That’s it, I can’t take it anymore!”

Zhao Peng was overcome with lust. He thought this Zhou Kexin was far more beautiful than that hag Xu Min.

”Damn it! I don’t know what kind of dogshit luck this brat has to land such a gorgeous babe!”

Zhao Peng cursed inwardly.
