CHAPTER 997: CHAPTER 999: CAREFUL NOT TO BEAT THEM TO DEATH

"Miss Xu, are you okay?" A stranger appeared in front of Xu Nianhua. She felt he looked familiar, yet she couldn’t recall who he was.

"Thank you."

Xu Nianhua stood up from the ground, patted the dust off her clothes, and looked at the man, feeling something was off.

"No need." The man had just opened his mouth when he suddenly stepped forward and pushed Xu Nianhua aside. A stone flew through the spot she was just standing and hit a nearby tree, making a loud noise.

Before Xu Nianhua could figure out what was going on, she saw not far away, Ma Zhijun and a man in black started to fight. There were no fancy moves involved; the man in black who suddenly appeared looked menacing.

Xu Nianji had been unable to hold back for a long time. Seeing Ma Zhijun start the fight, he didn’t care if he knew how to fight or not, and started punching and kicking, cursing, "Dare to mess with my little sister!"

Xu Nianji fought with no strategy, relying solely on brute force.

"Big brother, stop fighting, be careful not to beat him to death." Xu Nianhua hurriedly reminded him, watching as the man in black was already unable to resist. If they kept kicking like this, they might just kick him to death.

The man who had just helped Xu Nianhua stepped forward, and together with Ma Zhijun, they quickly subdued the man.

"Little sister, are you okay?" Xu Nianji supported Xu Nianhua. If it weren’t winter, he would have checked her legs.

"I’m fine."

Xu Nianhua said casually, then asked, "Big brother, Brother Ma, thank you for today, and thank you too."

"No need, Miss Xu, it’s Brother Cheng who sent me." Luo Gen said, then added, "My name is Luo Gen."

"Brother Luo, thank you." Xu Nianhua asked curiously, "Did Brother Cheng know something would happen today?"

"No, Brother Cheng asked me to follow Wild Wolf." Luo Gen had just tied up Gao Jianshe, now he tied up Wild Wolf too. Wild Wolf stared at Luo Gen, then looked at Ma Zhijun and said, "So this was a trap? You planned this all along?"

Without a hat, the scar on Wild Wolf’s face was more prominent. He thought today’s plan was flawless, even considering those tracking him in the shadows, but he didn’t anticipate someone would be guarding him in this village.

"Some things, you better tell the police." Luo Gen stuffed a cloth into Wild Wolf’s mouth, and the group started heading home.

Xu Nianji supported Xu Nianhua, comforting her, "Little sister, don’t be afraid, we’ve always been protecting you. Even Gao Jianshe dared to make a move on you, I should have kicked him a few more times."

"Big brother, you all stayed there half a day today, must be tired, right? Next time, I’ll make something good for you." Xu Nianhua gratefully said, this plan was made in haste, in this cold winter, her big brother and Brother Ma didn’t know if they could succeed, just standing guard on the mountain for half the day. This kindness, she would remember forever.

"I’m your big brother, what’s there to be tired of?" Xu Nianji said nonchalantly, "Little sister, what are you thinking?"

"Call the police." Xu Nianhua said directly, since Gu Mingzhu wanted to make a fuss, she’d follow her lead and make it a big deal.

Xu Nianji hadn’t figured it out yet when he saw a large group of people walking towards them.

"Isn’t this Gao Jianshe? Why is he tied up so tightly?"

"Who’s that in black, and who are those tied-up people?"

The villagers were startled to see Xu Nianhua and her group.
