Chapter Fourteen In an Instant

  Xu Ya stared at Wen Chen in shock as he roughly pushed her away and chased after the girl, a surge of inexplicable anger filling her chest. As a princess who had been pampered and protected by everyone since childhood, she naturally wouldn't have any feelings for the silly Wen Chen, and it was only natural that she would look down on those immature boys of the same age. But this didn't mean she could tolerate his insult towards her.

  After all, I met her on the bus today and she was very friendly. When a beauty shows kindness to you, you don't have to be overly grateful, but at least show some courtesy.

  Fine, you little fool, you've gone and gotten on my bad side!

  Xu Yao stomped her foot heavily, bit her lower lip, and just as the car door was about to close, she squeezed out of the gap and jumped down, causing the people in the car to cry out in surprise. The driver wiped his forehead in fright and stuck his head out the window, scolding angrily: "Whose kid is so naughty? A girl, too...MD, and a pretty one at that! Forget it!"

  The car was filled with whispers.

  Wen Qian followed Tan Xue into the Phoenix Jewelry Store, which was a small branch on Mingdu Road with a business area of about 50 square meters. Although it was small, the decoration was very luxurious and gave off an air of wealth and nobility. If you didn't have a clean face, you might need to take a few blue pills before entering. On the other side of the store, a girl sat at the counter with nothing to do, and when she saw someone come in, she didn't even lift her head.

  "Sir, we have five minutes before closing. If you need anything else, please come back tomorrow."

  He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start. Should he say that he saw a dark aura around him and that there would be a bloody disaster soon? As long as he wasn't thrown out, it was good enough...

  Xue's body leaned to one side, and he made a please gesture with his hand. He rubbed his temples and thought that since they were closing up for the day, it definitely wouldn't be resolved today. Maybe waiting until tomorrow would bring a solution.

  Just as he was about to leave, Xu Yao rushed in like a gust of wind, circled around Wen Qing twice, and laughed coldly. Wen Qing helplessly spread out his hands and joked: "Nowadays, those who owe debts are all big shots, can't I not eat your ice cream? Do you need to surround me like this?"

  "Pfft!" Xǔ Yáo gave a disdainful look, "I saw you tailing this sister, your behavior is very suspicious, following to see if there's an opportunity to make a move! I'm telling you, one trick for one trick, ice cream you don't eat but it's not okay. Twenty sticks, I want to watch you swallow them all in one mouthful!"

  I'm really speechless, I said losing twenty ice cream sticks wouldn't change my face, but it was waiting for me here! "Let's go buy some, afraid of you? Then my 24 ribs would have grown in vain!"

  This remark was made with great fanfare, and Xiu Ya originally didn't bother to respond to him. But looking at his arrogant appearance, she couldn't help but mock: "The Bible says that women have 24 ribs, men are just one rib short of women, could it be that you want to become a woman?"

  Xue couldn't help but burst out laughing again, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand. She hadn't forgotten the strange incident that had happened earlier today - wasn't it all because of her own laughter on the bus?

  "Good fellow, you're a cultured person!" Wen Jian smoothed out his sleeves, revealing his shiny shoulders. "Not only can't I surpass you in terms of physique... The Bible says that God took one of Adam's ribs to create Eve, which only means that Adam had one less bone than Eve. Does the Bible also say that their descendants would be like this for generations to come? Classmate, blindly believing in books is worse than not reading them at all... you'll go crazy from reading like this..."

  With the experience of being a warm and considerate person for two lifetimes, where would he have the interest to really argue with a young girl in public? He just wanted to take this opportunity to kill the five minutes that Xue said, watching her close the door and leave, so that he could slightly relax.

  Xu Yao was left speechless by Wen Qing's sophistry, scrunched up her nose and hummed a sound, turned around and walked away. Just as Wen Qing was about to follow, a man wearing a green canvas suit walked in, brushing past Xu Yao.

  This person is around thirty years old, with a long face shape, pale complexion and no beard. Although his eyes are small, they are very spirited. His clothes are neat but slightly faded from washing. However, it's not possible to say that someone like this wouldn't come to buy jewelry. In today's world, whether it's a girl's physical cycle or the weather forecast on CCTV, from the number of times a toddler wets their bed to long-term life goals, there's nothing reliable. Who knows, maybe he's a big boss in the coal mining industry?

  Hmm? The warm and gentle gaze suddenly froze, under the loose canvas clothes of that person, there was a noticeable bulge on his arm, with a sharp head and curved body.

  The snow was blocking the way in front of that person, and he politely said: "Sir, we are about to close, please come again tomorrow!"

  That man glanced at Wen Qianhe and Xu Yao, his voice hoarse as he said: "Aren't there still people here? What, don't you do business with poor people like us?"

  Tan Xue's face wore a warm smile, "Sir, you're joking. These two friends are also new guests and were just about to leave..." Wen Chen seemed to corroborate Tan Xue's words, grabbing Xu Ya's hand and pulling her close before she could get angry, whispering in her ear in an extremely low voice: "Danger! You'd better leave quickly!"

  He raised his hand and pushed Xu Yao out the door, shouting loudly: "Everyone is about to close up shop, but you're still making a fuss about buying a necklace. Women are really TMD troublesome!" He turned around and walked in front of the man, pointing at a necklace behind the counter with one hand, while giving Xue a meaningful look and saying: "I just looked at this style earlier, go get it for me. MD, even if it's expensive, I have to buy it."

  The man's hand had already secretly reached into his pocket when he was warm and close just now. Hearing him say this, he obviously let out a sigh of relief, and his right hand slid out of his pocket. Wen He's heart was lifted to his throat, and he was almost certain that Tan Xue was killed by the man in front of him with more than a dozen knives. Everything that happened today was too sudden, so sudden that he didn't make any preparations at all. What's worse, there was still an unknown truth about Xu Yao outside. If she got involved in this and something unexpected happened to her, it would be unthinkable... Now he could only hope that Tan Xue could understand his words and leave this extremely dangerous place first.

  Tan Xue was stunned for a moment, Wen Chen secretly called it bad luck. Just as she was about to push her to the counter, Tan Xue said: "You didn't see anything just now..."

  The next scene made Xu Yao, who was still in a daze from being pushed out of the door, shocked and pale. Tan Xue's words seemed to be some sort of secret signal, and as soon as they were spoken, Wen Chen rushed forward and punched the man's left temple with a loud thud. Just by looking at the speed and force of the punch, Xu Yao knew that if it had hit its mark, the man would have either died or fallen into a deep coma.

  The man drew out a three-foot-long bone-picking knife from his bosom and stabbed Wen Qiang in the chest without dodging!

  "Ah!"

  "Be careful!"

  Xu Yao, Tan Xue, and the female shop assistant who had just lifted her head all let out a cry of surprise.

  This was Wen Chao's first direct confrontation with danger, although compared to the storms he would encounter in his future life, this time was the least technical and most insignificant. However, this was a reborn youth, without connections, capital, or any power to rely on, facing the most direct and rapid test.

  It was just an instant, life and death were decided!
