Chapter 231
The man couldn't see the person's face without turning around. After all, he was too young and immature to handle this. After being frightened, he bluffed, "Who are you? Don't be nosy!"
He couldn't see the man's face, but Shu Tian could.
The man was six feet tall with a slender figure. It could be told from his athletic muscles that he was a opposing. He was just standing there, and didn't need any words or actions to make people tremble. The two young hooligans were in a panic, for the game had been over before it started.
They were not at the same level. These hooligans were nobodies, but the man standing behind them was frightening and awe-inspiring.
It was the same sharp face with outstanding features and the wild buzz cut.
He was the man that had made Shu Tian impressive, Meng Shichuan.
In the dark corner, there were only the curses of the two hooligans, pretending that they were brave but sounded fragile and guilty in fact.
"Oh!" Suddenly, the yellow hair hooligan howled and screamed in pain, "Let go of me. You are breaking my arm!"
"It hasn't been broken yet." The man said and wrung his wrist hard secretly. With a crack sound, he said calmly, "Now it's broken."
"Oh... Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much... Help! Help!" The yellow-haired man fell to the ground, curled up and hugged his arm, screaming loud.
Meng Shichuan looked up, glimpsing Shu Tian, then quickly turned to stare at the man behind her. "What? You want to try it too?"
The man was already scared out of his wits. He immediately let go of his hand and kept bowing and apologizing, "I'm sorry, we didn't know she is your girl. I'm so sorry, bro..."
His words, "your girl" had successfully reduced Meng Shichuan's displeasure by a little. He just glared at him and yelled without making a move, "Get out!"
The three of them helped each other out, but Shu Tian did not feel relieved at all, because the man standing in front of her was far scarier than those hooligans.
Although he had saved her, no one could tell what would happen next.
In her mind, a man like Meng Shichuan could do something like "saving you was just to kill you."
There were no lights on the path, only the dim light at the intersection. He stood in front of her to block half the light, and the wind blew over with the unique smell of cigars on the man.
After a moment of silence, Shu Tian walked around him to the girl and helped her up. "Are you okay?"
The girl was so drunk and dizzy for she had been probably drugged as well. She gibbered, "I, I..."
She couldn't even say a complete sentence, let alone her family address. Just as Shu Tian was trying to figure out a way, the man's cold voice came from above. "You are too weak to meddle in other people's business."
Shu Tian stiffened, feeling a chill. "I... Don't think it's meddling."
"Heh." He chuckled, "You just don't give up hope while there's a shot in the locker."
Shu Tian didn't want to stay with him for too long. His aura was overbearing and evil. She could tell by a glance that he was kick ass. Therefore, she felt uneasy.
In order to get away as soon as possible, she thanked him even though she was reluctant. "Thank you for helping me. My friend is still at the bar. I'll go first."
As she spoke, she walked out. But unexpectedly, right after she had taken a step, the man in front of her immediately stepped in her direction. Shu Tian frowned, and changed to the other side. However, he followed her wherever she headed, leaving no space for her to escape.
Unable to pretend not to see, Shu Tian took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Meng, please step aside."
"Mr. Meng?" Meng Shichuan gave an enchanting smile, "You haven't forgotten my surname yet."
Shu Tian was speechless.
They locked eyes, with hers being embarrassed and his being deep. Speaking of experience and astuteness, Shu Tian was no match for him.
Meng Shichuan suddenly raised his hand, and the man following him in the corner immediately came forward and handed over a cigarette. With the blurred smoke lingering between them, the atmosphere eased. But Shu Tian felt that something was wrong with him. She wondered if he's wasting time with her.
As time passed, Shu Tian began to worry about Fu Qingtong. She could not help but soften her tone. "Mr. Meng, I'm really in a hurry. I appreciate your help, but please let me go..."
"Shu Tian." Meng Shichuan suddenly called her name, frowning with his heavy eyebrows. Then his views fell on the cigarette blankly, and suddenly smiled, "This is the third time we've met."
The first time they met on the fishing ground. The second time was on the island. And this was the third time they met. He had never had such a close relationship with anyone. It was such a wonderful fate. "It is indeed a coincidence to meet three times, but I believe it is not a strange thing for you."
But Meng Shichuan shook his head when he heard this. "All people that I've met more than three times have been..."
He stopped, then moved his hand with the cigarette near his neck and crept across it. What he meant was obvious.
If someone else had done this, Shu Tian would have thought he was dropping the act, but she had seen Meng Shichuan holding a gun and pulling the trigger without hesitation.
It was too shocking and frightening that it had been hard to forget until now.
Shu Tian looked away, feeling a little flustered. Before she could figure out how to respond, a refreshing smell suddenly came to her nose. Before she could tell, her chin had already been held by a dry palm. "Oh!" She let out a low cry and took two steps back, until her back was against the rough concrete wall, which was extremely firm.
The man held her tightly by merely two fingers, and she even felt a little pain in the chin. He lifted her jaw, forcing her to look at him. "I'm talking to you. What are you thinking about?"
He could tell her fear from her panic eyes. She was like a frightened rabbit, with her watery black eyes seemed to cry tears with a little more stimulation. However, Meng Shichuan knew that she would not cry, for she was not a submissive person at all.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the panic in Shu Tian's eyes turned into anger. "Don't touch me!"
Meng Shichuan chuckled and thought to himself that she needed to be taught a lesson. But he didn't say it, instead, he looked at her meaningfully and said coldly, "I know you've been having a hard time recently. What I promised you before still counts."
Things didn't go well...
She had been tortured by the mess of Jiang Chujing and Li Han recently, and Shu Changlei had fallen ill again. Plus, she had resigned. Everything sucked, but how did he know?
Shu Tian's eyes turned cold, "You've investigated me?"
