After finishing these actions, Shen Lang walked towards Su Ruoxue, scratching his head and said, "I'm sorry, Xue'er, I really couldn't hold back just now."

"You shouldn't resort to violence," Su Ruoxue was completely speechless, not knowing what to say to Shen Lang.

Although Shen Lang's actions were a bit over the top, seeing Qiao Lan and Qiao Xing both being put in their place made Su Ruoxue feel quite relieved, as she had long had enough of this malicious mother and son.

However, with Qiao Lan's vengeful nature, Shen Lang might be in danger. After all, the Qiao family had connections with the underworld.

"Shen Lang, let's go quickly!"

Su Ruoxue's face showed a hint of worry, afraid that if they stayed here any longer, Shen Lang would be in danger.

She grabbed the man's arm in a panic and quickly walked to the Audi convertible.

They got into the car, with Su Ruoxue in the driver's seat, and she started the engine.

The Audi convertible drove out of the Huahai villa complex.

Qiao Xing howled for a long time before he managed to get up from the lawn, his face twisted in extreme anger as he shouted furiously, "I'll kill that bastard!"

From childhood to adulthood, he had never been beaten before. Stumbling, Qiao Xing ran towards the nearby Bugatti Veyron supercar, while Qiao Lan shouted, "Xing'er, don't go provoke that lunatic, I'll call someone to deal with him now!"

Qiao Xing's fury was overwhelming, and he howled, "Mom, quickly get someone to kill that guy!"

Qiao Lan stood up, clutching her stomach in excruciating pain, her face showing a vicious expression as she immediately took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, this is Qiao Lan. Quickly arrange for two gunmen to kill someone for me..."

The Qiao family already had underworld connections, and Qiao Lan was infuriated by Shen Lang this time. She wouldn't let that guy go!

The Audi convertible sped away from the seaside villa complex.

In the car, Su Ruoxue glared at Shen Lang and, biting her lip, said, "Shen, can you stop causing trouble for me?"

Shen Lang chuckled, "Xue'er, I didn't start the trouble; it was your annoying mother and son who provoked me first. I had to teach them a lesson to vent my anger."

"Don't call me Xue'er! Hmph, I didn't realize before that you had such a big nerve," Su Ruoxue said with exasperation, giving Shen Lang a look.

"President Su, I was just keeping a low profile before. You'll see more of it in the future. Besides, I'm just promoting justice," Shen Lang grinned.

Su Ruoxue felt a bit dizzy and said, "Shen Lang, don't you know you've caused big trouble? That was Qiao Lan, and she has the Qiao family backing her. If you provoke her... things will get really bad for you!"

Shen Lang remained calm, with a hint of mockery on his lips, "Don't worry, President Su. We'll see who gets the worse of it."

Su Ruoxue was speechless, not knowing where Shen Lang got his confidence from. This man always gave her a mysterious feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

She used to look down on Shen Lang, thinking this idle man was unreliable, but today Shen Lang had somehow given her a vague sense of security.

Su Ruoxue was a well-known strong businesswoman in Huahai City, but she was still a woman, with the heavy pressure like a tightly stretched string that could snap at any moment.

Women are made of water, and they always have a softer side. Su Ruoxue also fantasized about having a man who silently cared for her and protected her, a man who could give her security.

Could Shen Lang be that man?

Su Ruoxue laughed at herself, thinking her standards for choosing a spouse had become so low.

She decided not to think about it and focused on driving. The Audi convertible left the port and entered the city.

Suddenly.

Shen Lang's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance. With his intuition as a top expert, he sensed an unusual presence.

It seemed that another vehicle was following them. Shen Lang immediately leaned his head against the window, scanning the surroundings.

As expected, a black Mercedes S-Class car was closely following the Audi convertible, with two assassins in suits and sunglasses inside.

Shen Lang's eyes narrowed. Without time to explain, he quickly unfastened Su Ruoxue's seatbelt in the driver's seat.

Su Ruoxue was startled, "Shen Lang, what are you doing?"

"There's a car following us. Let me drive!"

Shen Lang spoke quickly, directly unfastening Su Ruoxue's seatbelt, grabbing her waist, and pushing her forward, as he hurriedly moved over, forcefully sitting behind her.

Su Ruoxue was pushed forward by Shen Lang and appeared somewhat flustered, but she still gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, and a delicate fragrance, reminiscent of gardenia, emanated from the woman, likely from an expensive perfume. Her soft and elastic skin brought a sense of tranquility and pleasure.

Su Ruoxue sat on Shen Lang's lap, feeling the warmth of his chest, and her pretty face blushed instantly to her ears.

Shen Lang didn't have time to enjoy holding Su Ruoxue; his gaze remained dark as he stared intently at the rearview mirror, watching the movements of the Mercedes car behind.

Fortunately, the convertible top of their Audi was closed, or such a significant movement could easily have been noticed by their pursuers.

"Shen Lang, do you think..." 

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Lang covered Su Ruoxue's lips with his finger. "Shh, don't speak. Su, you move to the passenger seat, and let me drive!"

As he said this, Shen Lang's hands moved past Su Ruoxue's chest, grabbing the steering wheel, unavoidably touching a sensitive area.

Su Ruoxue's face turned red, annoyed, and she glared at Shen Lang suspiciously, wondering if he was intentionally taking advantage of her.

But seeing his serious expression, she obediently followed his instructions, moving to the passenger seat.

Shen Lang pressed the accelerator, and the Audi shot forward with a swoosh, quickly picking up speed.

Inside the black Mercedes, the two assassins saw the Audi suddenly accelerate ahead and couldn't help but change their expressions. The other party was so alert? They had been noticed so quickly?

The Mercedes also sped up to chase after them.

Although Shen Lang stepped on the gas to accelerate, the Audi's speed was still not very fast. This convertible Audi's performance was only average. He didn't plan to shake off the Mercedes behind but rather to lead them to a secluded and deserted place to deal with them.

He hated enemies lurking in the shadows; facing them head-on was always the best solution.

Su Ruoxue also noticed the Mercedes behind them. Looking at Shen Lang's serious expression, her heart also raced.

"There's a car following us..."

"I know. It must be your stepmother sending someone to deal with me," Shen Lang said indifferently.

"This..." Su Ruoxue bit her lip. She had guessed Qiao Lan would seek revenge, but she hadn't expected it to come so soon!

The Qiao family had always had underworld connections, and Su Ruoxue naturally knew this. She suddenly felt a bit scared and suggested, "Shen Lang, you just hit Qiao Lan's son. She won't let you off easily. Shouldn't we call the police?"

"No need. I'll handle it myself," Shen Lang waved his hand dismissively.

These two assassins were attracted by him, and Shen Lang felt a bit sorry for Su Ruoxue now.

It was already seven o'clock at night, and the sky was completely dark. The Audi drove towards the outskirts, keeping a considerable distance from the two Mercedes behind.

About ten minutes later, they reached the countryside on the outskirts. Shen Lang drove the sports car directly into a dense forest and stopped beside a patchy grass thicket.

Shen Lang opened the car door and said to Su Ruoxue, "Alright, you stay quietly in the car and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back!"

"Hey, wait!" Su Ruoxue looked at the dark and oppressive bushes outside the wilderness and felt a bit scared, "Shen Lang, don't leave me alone here!"

Shen Lang sighed helplessly, "Miss Su, the car is safe. Do you want to watch me fight someone?"

"In this wilderness, I'm afraid... no, I want to go too!" Su Ruoxue's pretty face showed a hint of panic. She had originally wanted to say she was scared but couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Miss Su, please don't make things difficult for me. Just stay in the car obediently," Shen Lang said, leaving behind these words as he locked the car door.

Surrounded by the pitch-black trees, with the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects in the night, the place became dark and eerie.

Seeing Shen Lang walk away like this, Su Ruoxue's body softened, and she collapsed into the seat, tightly gripping the seat, "Stupid Shen Lang, if you get seriously injured, I won't care about you!"
