They were completely surrounded. Qingqing hissed and suddenly sprang on her feet in alarm.

  "Who are they?"

  Lu Bojing paled. He had an inkling to who they might be. But he couldn't fathom why he would come to attack Lihua.

  The driver opened the glass window and was about to pop his head out when Lu Bojing shrieked and pulled him back. "No! Don't!"

  *BANG!*

  A bullet passed by the window and a crack appeared on the glass. The driver looked as if his soul flew out of his body.

  "Ahhhh!!!" He shouted in fear.

  If Lu Bojing had been even a second late, the driver's head would have turned into a pink mist of blood and brains spraying out of it.

  "W-what……Who are they? T-they just shot at me!" He cried. "What is happening? Somebody h-help please…"

  Lihua felt her blood freeze by that loud shot. The onlookers in the area had long fled the scene upon hearing the gunshot. They thought as if it was a terrorist attack. Everything broke into chaos, and everybody ran for their lives.

  The doors to the black cars opened and pairs of men came out and surrounded the cab. Their expressions were cold and devoid of any humanity.

  "Come out."

  A chill ran through Lihua's spine. Qingqing fiercely hissed at the men. They were a threat, Qingqing didn't like to be threatened. She was still on Lihua's lap but had inched closer to her belly as if shielding it.

  The driver was scared shitless. "Hey they are asking for you, woman! Who are you? Are you some criminal?"

  "Of course not!"

  "Then why are they here for you? I was about to be killed because of you, you damn woman!"

  She jolted. "I-I am sorry…"

  They were definitely Jiang Shan's men. The driver had needlessly been brought into the crossfire like the family before. She could only apologize.

  "They are here for me. I won't let them hurt you."

  "You better don't!"

  Lu Bojing clenched his fist. He wasn't aggressive, but he felt furious at the driver. It was already a tense situation, and he was stressing her even more, especially when she was the one targeted!

  But at the same time, he couldn't blame him either. Everybody valued their own life and were afraid of death. Nobody would want to get pulled into a dangerous mess.

  Lu Bojing held her hand. "D-Ddon't worry! I am here with you……I will protect you…" he burst into tears.

  Lihua faintly smiled and nodded. Not only the driver, she pulled Lu Bojing into danger too.

  Stupid Lihua. I should have rejected his company……If anything happened to him, she shuddered thinking about the consequences.

  The men loudly banged in the window. "Come out, or we will have to force you."

  The voice sounded harsher and more vicious now. Lihua and Lu Bojing slowly stepped out. He immediately clung to her side in her defense.

  The men sneered and barked. "If you don't want things to get ugly, then come with us."

  Lihua was silent for several seconds. She curled her fingers in her palm. "Who are you?"

  "You don't need to know. We only got orders that Boss wants you. Now shut your trap and do as we say."

  *Meowww!*

  Qingqing hissed at them, baring her teeth. Her gaze was dark and ferocious.

  "Don't!" Lihua hugged her to safety. These were crazy and dangerous men. What if they harmed her?

  Lihua said, "You……you are working for Jiang Shan."

  "Well what do you know? You are not that dumb. Since you already know, it makes things easier for us."

  She gritted her teeth. "What does he want? Hasn't he already harmed innocent people? Do you really think that he will win by taking me away?"

  The men glanced at each other and laughed hard. "Ah, she is funny. Harm? Innocent? She is so weird."

  Lihua angrily laughed. "Of course. For monsters like you, there is nothing such as innocent in your dictionary! What does he want from me?"

  She tried to look strong, but her heart was in a complete frenzy. She trembled in fear and adrenaline gushed through her cells, wanting to run away. Wei was arrested and now they wanted to kidnap her?

  No matter how much she thought, she couldn't understand why Jiang Shan would want her. Wei and her were already divorced, so he shouldn't think of her as any sort of leverage. With Wei in jail, he wouldn't be able to help her anyway. So why was she targeted?

  "Shut up, you bitch! Say one more word, and I will blow this man's brains!" He pointed at the driver.

  "No! No, no, no! Please spare me…" he sobbed. "I don't know this woman at all."

  The men smirked. The leader said, "So are you coming or do we have to force you? I am afraid we will have to be very rough."

  Lihua tightened her hold over Qingqing subconsciously.

  "You……are making a big mistake."

  Lu Bojing nodded hard. "Y-yes……Big mistake…"

  Lihua glowered at them. "Wei won't spare you. If he knows about this, he won't spare anyone of you…"

  They laughed. "Shut up, bitch. We will talk about that when he gets out of the prison in the first place. Which he never will. Now, it's all about our Boss."

  In her fear, her phone had slipped down near the edge of the seat. But dropping a secret message was useless anyway. These men were quite sharp. If they had seen her making any movement, they wouldn't have hesitated to get violent.

  Her mind was blank. She didn't have any ideas to escape this situation. Jiang Shan's men weren't to be persuaded by threat or bribe either.

  But she was worried about Lu Bojing the most.

  "I will come with you. But let this man and my cat go. They don't have anything to do with me."

  Lu Bojing froze. He cried even fiercer now. "No! I won't go anywhere……I will protect you……"
