Hearing this, Lin Yao noticed that Long Yihun looked somewhat dejected, his eyes filled with reluctance as he gazed at Xiao Lian, making Lin Yao think that this guy was doomed. The legendary love at first sight had happened to this guy again. Could this style be hereditary? But the girl has to cooperate, otherwise it becomes unrequited love, and the inheritance gets worse with each generation.
"Go, it's them." A cocky voice rang out. Lin Yao looked up and saw the young men in the bar. He immediately thought, "Oh no!" because behind the young men were more than a dozen thugs, and Chen Debiao was walking slowly at the back.
Lin Yao threw down a hundred-yuan bill to pay the bill. He didn't even have time to wait for the payment. He grabbed Ruonan and ran along the riverbank. By this time, Long Yihun had already run away with Xiaolian. Lin Yao cursed inwardly that this guy had no humanity when it came to women.
A beautiful woman looks good dancing in high heels, but not so good running. Not only is it unattractive, it's also slow. So, after only a few steps, she's surrounded by a group of thugs wielding machetes.
"Run! Run! Why aren't you running anymore?" The young man's tone and manner were just like in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, with an expression that made him look like he wanted to punch someone.
When Lin Yao noticed the young man acting arrogantly in front of Ruonan, she frowned, her hands clenched into fists at her sides, as if she was itching to punch him. However, she suppressed her anger after glancing at Xiao Lian beside her, her chest heaving rapidly, revealing her inner emotions.
The young man clearly didn't notice these details. As a hoodlum, he didn't have such high aspirations; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a hoodlum, but would have gone to study or do business. Not everyone can patiently read the entire book "Psychology and Behavioral Science".
He was simply arrogant and domineering in his nature, but since Brother Biao, who followed him, did not speak up, he did not dare to take it upon himself to destroy such a beautiful flower. The memory of Derby Bar was still vivid in his mind. At that time, Brother Biao also downplayed and ignored the fact that he had been slapped.
The young man's threat to Xiao Lian had an effect; Xiao Lian's face turned pale with fright, which made him quite smug. Unfortunately, Long Yihun immediately pulled Xiao Lian behind him, adopting a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress stance, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.
Seeing that Long Yihun was acting impulsively and wanted to take action immediately, Lin Yao knew that his brother was deeply in love and couldn't escape the trap of love at first sight. He could also imagine that if a fight broke out, his brother would definitely take the knife for Xiaolian.
Lin Yao's mind raced as he tried his best to find a solution, but the disparity in numbers and weaponry between the two sides was too great, and he couldn't come up with a solution for the time being.
Chinese people enjoy watching a spectacle but lack a sense of justice, or rather, their sense of justice mostly exists in post-incident, safe-haven pronouncements. When a fight breaks out in this society, very few people will help by calling the police; even secretly dialing 110 (the emergency number) is extremely rare.
What if the dear police officer at 110 asks me to register a police report, and then the thugs find out and I'll definitely face retaliation? How am I supposed to live like that? So Lin Yao didn't expect any change in this regard. If someone called the police, he would just consider it a stroke of good luck from God.
It was obviously impossible for them to call the police themselves, as the thugs surrounding them were all carrying machetes. In terms of force, of the four of them, only Long Yihun and Ruonan were capable of each taking on one thug, since the thugs had lethal weapons. However, with Xiaolian and themselves as burdens, resorting to violence was clearly not a good idea.
As Lin Yao helplessly resigned himself to being a burden, a thought struck him: the little grass. How wonderful it would be if his beloved little grass could extend from his body to attack, or even release lethal chemical gases. Of course, all of this had to be done while he was invisible; otherwise, he would end up as a guinea pig on the dissection table in some secret research lab.
Chemical substances that would harden his body like steel? No, he hasn't tested that yet. Substances to enhance his speed and strength? No, those are hormones. He hasn't tested anything non-hormonal and is currently unable to do so. Poison? That's a possibility; it's currently his only source of attack power.
Thinking of this, Lin Yao immediately ordered Xiao Cao to synthesize the folk poison formula he had found a few days ago—a poison formula that would cause the body to gradually weaken. This formula also had an antidote, and it wasn't fatal. The ingredients were all in Xiao Cao's many small beads. Having Xiao Cao ready at any time made Lin Yao feel more at ease, his adrenaline secretion slowed down, and his body gradually stopped trembling.
Chen Debiao finally strode over with the air of a victor. As he approached Ruonan, his initial plan for violent revenge immediately changed. She was too beautiful; he only wanted to hold her in his arms rather than beat her to a pulp. He then glanced at Xiaolian, who was trembling beside him, and his eyes widened even more.
Two beautiful flowers, one heroic and fierce, the other delicate and lovely. It is a perfect gift that God has arranged for two such outstanding beauties with completely different qualities to be together.
Chen Debiao didn't say anything. He reached out to pinch Ruonan's chin. At this moment, Lin Yaosheng felt an impulse and rushed over to stop him. Before he could do so, Ruonan kicked Chen Debiao, sending him sprawling on his back.
"Okay, you've got some flavor. I'll only like you if you're just as good in bed." Chen Debiao scrambled to his feet, leering as he approached again.
Ruonan's expression changed upon hearing this. She regretted her impulsive decision to abandon her protectors with Xiaolian, which had led to this predicament. At this moment, she only hoped that kind citizens would help her call the police, but unfortunately, she never heard the melodious sound of police sirens.
The timid Xiaolian mustered her courage once again, stood up straight, and said, "I'll go with you. Don't make things difficult for my friend."
"Xiao Lian! You're not allowed to do this again! If you do this again, I will never forgive you!" Ruo Nan shouted sternly, causing Xiao Lian's tears to flow, but she still stubbornly bit her lip and did not back down.
Lin Yao knew it was time to act. He deliberately moved closer to one of the thugs and reached out to grab the man's machete. "Brother, don't take out your knife. I'm scared of this thing."
The sharp blade cut his index finger under Lin Yao's deliberate force, and blood immediately flowed out. The depth was just right, and the wound was not wide enough for his thumb to cover the bleeding area. At this time, Xiao Cao had already stopped the bleeding and was ready to bleed him at any time. When he bled again, it would be poisonous blood.
"Take the woman away, break the man's leg." Chen Debiao waved his hand coldly, imagining the good things to come, his crotch already pitched.
"I'll fight you to the death!" With a delicate shout, Xiaolian rushed towards the thugs beside her, her weak arms striking them haphazardly, causing the thugs to hastily retreat, worried that they might hurt the woman their boss had his eye on.
Lin Yao was surprised that Xiao Lian was the first to erupt. Long Yihun and Ruonan also immediately began to act. The arrow had already been fired, and no one had time to think anymore; fighting was the only option. Lin Yao immediately ordered Xiao Cao to force out the poisoned blood, keeping a close eye on Chen Debiao's mouth. He was to flick the poisoned blood into Chen Debiao's mouth the moment he opened it.
"Beat them! Beat them hard! Capture the women alive, and beat the men hard, just don't kill them! Ah..." Chen Debiao was also forced to use his evil power. Suddenly, he felt a fishy taste in his mouth. He immediately spat out his saliva and found that it was a little red. He didn't understand what was going on for a moment and thought that he had broken the skin inside his mouth. He instinctively sucked in the blood that was still in his mouth and swallowed it.
Lin Yao, who had practiced acupuncture techniques diligently since childhood, possessed astonishing control over his fingers. Of course, he wouldn't miss this little trick; he was just waiting for Chen Debiao's attack to occur.
At this moment, several thugs began to attack Ruonan. The gleaming machetes put Ruonan on the defensive. However, since the thugs dared not hurt her, Ruonan's situation improved significantly after she realized the situation. She exerted a lot of force, causing the thugs to consciously move away from her arms. She then changed her tactics midway and struck the thugs' faces, necks, and other vulnerable parts of their bodies hard, gaining the upper hand for a time.
Unfortunately, Ruonan forgot that everyone has temper and a temper. After being cleverly attacked, the thug went berserk and no longer cared about his boss's instructions. When a knife slashed her left arm, leaving a cut, Ruonan finally realized her situation and began to dodge despite the pain.
One of the thugs, who had been badly beaten, suddenly swung his knife straight at Ruonan's shoulder. Seeing that she was about to be killed, Ruonan, who was terrified, could only watch helplessly as the knife slashed towards her. She instinctively stretched out her arm to block, no longer caring about the consequences, otherwise she would have been slashed in the neck and killed on the spot.
Just when she was in her most desperate moment, an arm reached out and blocked the blade for her. With a loud bang, the sound of the cleaver hitting bone was sickening, and blood splattered. Then a loud shout came: "Run!"
Ruonan stood there blankly without moving, and the other thug did not take the opportunity to attack her. At this moment, Chen Debiao's order reminded him that he could not hurt this pretty girl with a knife.
Just as the thug who had succeeded in his attack was about to swing his knife again, a pig-like scream rang out. Chen Debiao rolled on the ground, writhing and turning, causing all the thugs who recognized his voice to stop in their tracks.
Chen Debiao howled in pain on the ground, like a pig that had been stabbed in the slaughterhouse and was now struggling uncontrollably. The thugs surrounded him, trying to grab him and find out what was wrong.
Lin Yao, whose muscles were ripped open by the slash, almost fainted from the pain, feeling as if his bones were about to break. He immediately ordered Xiao Cao to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain. His pale face was covered in cold sweat, and he weakly squatted down and curled up.
At this moment, Chen Debiao had begun to foam at the mouth and was acting like a madman. Long Yihun, who was covered in blood after being injured, was helped by Xiaolian to check on Lin Yao's injuries. Ruonan was only then awakened and immediately stepped forward to help Lin Yao up.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Lin Yao said urgently in a low voice. The grass had a strong ability to stop bleeding, but its pain relief level was terrible. He forced out a sentence through his teeth despite the excruciating pain, and then walked towards the street with trembling steps.
At this point, none of the thugs cared about their fate anymore. They all gathered around Chen Debiao, trying to figure out what to do. Their boss's life was more important; this was a rule that anyone in the underworld had to remember.
Lin Yao and his three companions finally managed to flag down a taxi. When the driver saw the blood on them, he prepared to drive away again, but Long Yihun grabbed the steering wheel. Lin Yao's offer of 500 yuan immediately made the driver cooperate enthusiastically. 500 yuan was enough for him to replace the seat covers and clean the bloodstains, and he could even make a profit.

"Where to?" Ruonan had lost her previous confidence and decisiveness, and now she showed the weakness that a girl should have, which made Lin Yao take a few more glances at her.
"Driver, Meilan Mountain." Lin Yao gritted his teeth, still in so much pain that he was inhaling more than exhaling.
At this point, seeking treatment at the pharmaceutical factory is the wise choice. There are only a few hospitals in Ya'an, and if you go there, you'll likely be found by the thugs soon. Taking a taxi to the foot of Meilan Mountain, where the complex terrain and the little-known pharmaceutical factory are the best refuge, is the best option. The medicines and equipment there are perfect for self-treatment.
Although the pharmaceutical factory has been sold, my second uncle has not yet sent anyone to take over it, and the workers are still on holiday. The key is still in a hidden place, which is the perfect temporary residence for the four of them.
