The moment the door was opened, Hao-ge was stunned. With one hand on the door, his eyes were widened, and his jaw remained hung. He was completely dumbfounded.
Jiang Wen kept himself on guard towards Yang Chen, then ran over to Hao-ge’s side. Seeing the quietly seated Rose, the both of them had fervent gazes,
What do you think, Hao-ge? This chick is pretty good, right?
It seemed like Hao-ge had returned to his senses hearing those words, he was filled with disbelief and intense fear. He began to tremble, and swallowed his saliva as he stiffly turned to look at Jiang Wen’s lecherous face. Hao-ge became overwhelmed with fury.
You… you damned… bastard!!
With a voice that was husky and forced, Hao-ge raised his large fist, and slammed it into Jiang Wen’s considerably handsome face!
Oww!!
Jiang Wen groaned, and blood poured out from his nose. Dizzy, he turned a few rounds, then touched the warm blood that flowed out of his nose. He practically wailed as he said,
Hao-ge! Why did you suddenly hit me! I’m asking you to deal with these bastardly couple!!
Bas… bastardly couple!?
Hao-ge felt a chill run down his back, then he lifted his leg to kick Jiang Wen’s chest, which made Jiang Wen roll over three meters away.
This time, blood poured out of Jiang Wen’s mouth, and he once again lost consciousness.
This pitiful fellow was knocked out for the second time in public in such a short timespan.
Hao-ge trembled as he turned back and bowed. There was a smile on his face that looked even uglier than crying, and he made a silly laugh towards the expressionless Rose who remained seated in the car.
Pre… President…… I never expected that it would be you. This is truly a coincidence, I didn’t recognize that you were the target. If I knew, I, Ah Hao, would… would……
Would what?
Rose calmly asked Ah Hao.
However, it was precisely a calm tone like that which made Hao-ge feel chilly. He found it difficult to move, it was as if his feet were glued to the ground.
Yang Chen who stood on the other side watched what happened, and didn’t expect that this fellow was Rose’s subordinate. Since this was the case, he didn’t plan on doing anything, he just leaned against the bonnet of the car and waited to see how Rose was going to settle this.
The thugs who followed Hao-ge saw the abnormality of the situation and whispered amongst themselves, discussing what was happening.
Rose softly sighed,
Ah Hao, you’re more capable than me. Blockading the road with cars, carrying the blame for others, beating people up, capturing women, and casually asking for millions. I didn’t know that I had a capable subordinate like you.
Hao-ge immediately shouted with a pleading tone,
President, please let me explain! I… I had no choice, that Jiang fellow is the second-in-command in this area’s prosecutor’s office. I’m only willing to do things for him in consideration of our brothers. The money received is also all handed over to the society!
Is that so? Well then, how much did you hand over last year?
Rose asked with a cold expression.
Hao-ge became speechless for he knew that he couldn’t lie as there were financial records for what he gave every year, so after some time he softly answered,
Two… two hundred thousand……
So what were you trying to explain again?
Rose directly asked.
Hao-ge’s head drooped, he clenched his teeth and felt defeated, but couldn’t find a word to say.
Rose glanced at him and said,
You’re one of the earliest members of West Union Society who defected to my Red Thorns Society, so I didn’t decrease the power you held. You’re only lower than several elders of in the gang, and can definitely place top twenty in the gang right now. However, I never expected that the brothers I put under you would end up committing robbery and blocking the road like a bandit. You should know the rules I set, and the path you’ll be set on henceforth.
President, please give me a chance!
Hao-ge immediately knelt in reverence towards Rose.
A chance isn’t something I give to you, it’s something you need to attain yourself. The fact that you appeared before me today means that this isn’t the first time you’ve done this, I cannot continue to turn a blind eye towards you.
As Rose spoke, she took out her phone and made a call.
Boss? How may I help you?
The affectionate voice of Little Zhao was heard from the phone.
Little Zhao, send someone to take over the twenty-first territory under Ah Hao.
Hearing these words, Ah Hao who knelt raised his head with panic all over his face.
Little Zhao who heard this was slightly surprised, but immediately replied,
I got it, boss.
And didn’t ask any further.
After ending the call, Rose looked towards Hao-ge,
You can leave now, and can bring along any one who is willing to follow you. Considering the matters in the past, I won’t stop you.
Hao-ge swallowed his saliva, and stood up unsteadily. He gloomily bowed towards Rose and said,
Thank you, President. I, Ah Hao, will be never forget your mercy……
Saying that, Hao-ge turned away, intending to leave.
But in that instant, Hao-ge turned again at lightning speeds, and it was unknown when it was that he held a Swiss Army knife with a cold glint in his hand. He suddenly thrusted it towards Rose who had been silent!
Slut! I want your life!!!
Hao-ge ruthlessly howled!
Yang Chen noticed Hao-ge’s intentions from the very beginning, but he didn’t leap over the car and kick Hao-ge away because he knew that wasn’t necessary.
Just as the sharp knife was about to stab Rose’s throat, Rose’s bare hand was suddenly swung, and it perfectly hit Hao-ge’s wrist!
Hao-ge’s wrist became numb, and he nearly dropped the knife.
Rose grabbed onto Hao-ge’s numb hand, and twisted it in the opposite direction!
Crack!
The sound of bones detaching was heard, the knife Hao-ge held was now pointed at himself!
Before Hao-ge could react to the pain, his hand which Rose grabbed onto was swung towards himself!
The sharp knife stabbed into Hao-ge’s chest, puncturing his lung!
Hao-ge groaned, took a few steps back, and limply fell onto the ground. His shirt was already being dyed red, and his lips were pale. He laid on the ground with his eyes wide open with difficulty breathing!
-2: Perfect date
Rose remained in the car from the beginning till the end. Her movements were as smooth as silk, and in a blink of an eye, the person injured had instead become Hao-ge.
It is said that rats abandon a sinking ship.
This was a woman that even their leader feared, and she put him on the verge of death in seconds. How could they possibly dare to stay any longer? Therefore, they immediately fled to their cars and drove off.
Yang Chen also got back into the car, closed the door, started the engine, and drove off.
Nobody attended to the two men who laid on the ground. Perhaps the police would arrive later, but the killer and the victim were both members of the Red Thorn Society. In the end, how the matter gets resolved would depend on Rose, so it didn’t matter if it was dealt with sooner or later.
When the car got onto the expressway, Rose apologetically sighed, and shyly said,
Hubby, I’m sorry. I never thought this would happen.
Why say that? It’s not your fault for being born beautiful.
Yang Chen smiled and said.
Rose pursed her lips and forced a smile,
That’s not what I mean. You brought me out on a date for the first time, yet this happened because I didn’t manage my subordinates well, I feel very apologetic over it.
Do you feel that a date that begun perfectly and has a bad ending isn’t satisfactory, and is depressing?
Asked Yang Chen.
Rose thought for a bit, then nodded,
A little, but life is just like that, who knows what could happen in the next moment? We can only accept fate.
That isn’t necessarily the case.
Saying that, Yang Chen didn’t drive to the expressway exit that was close to the bar, and instead exited at the closest exit.
Bewildered, Rose asked,
Hubby, where are going?
Take a guess.
Rose smiled and rebuked,
I rarely even leave home, how would I recognize other roads?
Yang Chen didn’t answer her. He drove past several considerably empty streets, and drove to somewhere that was well-lit. The area had many shops with bright signboards and heavy human traffic. Though the road was fairly spacious, the vast amounts of pedestrians made it difficult to drive.
This was one of the well-known night markets in Zhonghai, and it was a place that would be flooded with people every night.
When Yang Chen drove in the crowds with the sapphire blue Lotus, there were immediately countless envious gazes directed at them, like the car was a shiny attraction in the night market.
Seated in the car, Rose felt rather nervous. She wouldn’t even get this nervous if a bunch of people with machine guns was in front of her.
In her whole life, she had never seen this many people, and had never been to such a bustling place. Furthermore, they had become everyone’s focal point!
Suddenly, Yang Chen stopped the car right in the middle of the night market!
Hubby, you……
Before Rose could ask, Yang Chen pressed the button to open the car’s roof.
This Lotus sportscar was a cabriolet, so with just a press of the button, the car’s roof slowly reclined, and folded into the trunk.
Immediately, the sounds from outside the car were heard. There was shouting, music, traffic sounds, and it all entered their ears.
Yang Chen and Rose who sat in the car naturally gained attention from their surroundings. However, as people knew that this car was probably incredibly expensive, most people kept their distance and looked. They wondered what this rich couple wanted to do.
Rose’s beauty attracted many passionate gazes, which made Rose feel uncomfortable as she was used to living in the dark alone. She was rather reserved even during meetings with her subordinates, and rarely interacted with others. Being surrounded by so many fervent stares made her heart beat faster.
The bright lights of the night market lit up the two, and lit up the crowd of people.
Yang Chen turned his head, and looked at the uncomfortable and somewhat helpless Rose with a smile.
Hubby, why are you doing this……
Rose mumbled with a blush. The many faces which stared at her made her incredibly nervous.
Because I want to give you a perfect date……
As he said that, Yang Chen leaned over, and held Rose’s exquisite waist. And right in front of her wide eyes, he kissed her lips……
For a moment, everybody in their surroundings stopped in their tracks, even the shouting peddlers became quiet, and watched this brazen couple.
It was only when she felt his warm breath did Rose come to realize that she and the man she loved was kissing in front of countless strangers!
She moved away her lips with difficulty. With deep blush and delicate panting she said,
Hubby, don’t be like this, everyone’s looking.
You don’t like it when I kiss you?
No… that’s not it, could we please have the roof back up?
Rose pleaded.
Yang Chen shook his head,
If we put it back up, then why buy a car like this?
But we didn’t have to put it down to kiss either……
Rose was so embarrassed that slid her body down the seat.
Yang Chen stroked Rose’s smooth and fragrant hair, then warmly said,
I just want everybody to see that Situ Rose belongs to me, Yang Chen. She isn’t someone who only can live in the darkness, isn’t a pitiful person who has no freedom, and is instead a happy lady who makes other ladies jealous. She’s more beautiful and outstanding than anyone. I love her, and I’m not afraid that others will mock us.
After he said that, Yang Chen once again kissed her.
Their lips interlocked, creating a beautiful sight in the bustling night market.
This time, Rose didn’t dodge. Her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and sparkling tears flowed out. It was a complex feeling of happiness and sourness.
Countless eyes focused on this couple, and it seemed like everyone in the surrounding had stopped conversing. All that could be heard was the music that some stores played.
After some time, some youngsters began to clap, and gradually, the sporadic claps became groups of people who clapped, and then just about everybody clapped……
Everyone present clapped to cheer them on, and several young couples couldn’t help but kiss as well. The couple in the car was already in their own world, and had forgotten where they actually were.
Amongst the crowd, these two people seemed so insignificant.
But after tonight, some people would continue to remember that passionate kiss in that car, on that night.
