Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Tian turned his head and also smiled, "I saw you were all busy, so I left by myself."
Tang Qi walked gracefully to Wu Tian and said with a smile, "That won't do. You helped me a lot, and I wouldn't feel right if I just left like this."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Then what do you want, my beautiful lady? To marry me? That might not be a good idea."
If anyone else had joked with Tang Qi like this, she would have been angry.
But Wu Tian was different. At this moment, Wu Tian occupied a very important position in her heart.
So she also smiled and said, "If you want to, there might be opportunities in the future."
After saying this, Tang Qi's face turned red. Although she was so beautiful and had countless admirers, she had actually had very little contact with men and had never been in a relationship.
She never thought of herself as someone who could flirt, but facing Wu Tian, she had blurted out such words.
What's wrong with me? She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she... liked him?
Wu Tian didn't mind this, thinking Tang Qi was just joking. He shook his head and said, "Alright, alright, no more jokes. What did you want to see me about?"
Tang Qi said, "Thanks to you today, I gained my grandfather's appreciation. I won't forget this kindness."
"From today onwards, you are my best friend. If you ever need anything, I will help you as much as I can."
As she spoke, she took out a black card from her expensive bag.
"This is the supreme card of our Tangren Catering. With it, you won't have to pay for anything at any of our establishments. Additionally, you will have the rights to personnel adjustments and year-end profit sharing."
"Although it's nothing compared to what you've done for me, please accept it."
Wu Tian was surprised. This was simply a card, but it actually represented directorial power!
Wasn't Tang Qi being a bit too generous?
He quickly declined, "No, thank you. I just helped with a small matter. I can't accept such a valuable gift."
Hearing this, a flicker of surprise appeared in Tang Qi's beautiful eyes.
Their Tangren Catering was famous even within the city, and the year-end dividends were astonishing.
But this man wanted nothing, truly indifferent to fame and fortune!
For a moment, Tang Qi's good impression of Wu Tian deepened.
She insisted on handing him the card, saying with a somewhat firm attitude, "Please accept it. If you don't, I won't be able to sleep."
Seeing Tang Qi's persistence, Wu Tian felt a sense of helplessness and finally accepted the card.
Then, Tang Qi looked at the sky and said, "Wu Tian, you said you live in Taohua Village, right? It's almost eight o'clock now, how will you get back?"
Wu Tian scratched his head, "Now that you mention it, I realize there are probably no more cars."
Tang Qi winked at him, "How about I give you a ride? Don't worry, I haven't been drinking."
Wu Tian thought it would be troublesome to go back alone, so he agreed.
The luxury car was filled with a pleasant fragrance. Wu Tian sat in the passenger seat, chatting casually with Tang Qi.
The car turned into a deserted small road, but at this moment, Tang Qi suddenly slammed on the brakes.
"What's wrong?" Wu Tian asked.
Tang Qi stared ahead with wide eyes and said, "What do they want?"
Wu Tian looked and saw several men wearing tank tops and with tattooed arms walking over to block the car.
He immediately recognized them as thugs and his expression turned serious, "We've probably run into trouble."
Tang Qi became a little scared and said timidly, "What should we do now?"
"Don't be afraid," Wu Tian said, "As long as I'm here, it'll be fine."
They both got out of the car. The group of thugs surrounded them, and as soon as they saw Tang Qi, their eyes lit up.
"Wow, what a beautiful lady!"
The leader of the thugs, a guy with dyed yellow hair, kept scanning Tang Qi with his gaze, as if his hands were reaching out to strip her clothes.
Honestly, such a gaze was too lecherous; any woman would find it unbearable.
Tang Qi couldn't stand such a look and couldn't help but take a step back.
But her movement made her long legs, clad in thin black stockings, appear even more alluring. The thugs were practically drooling.
Wu Tian said coldly, "What do you want?"
The yellow-haired man completely ignored Wu Tian. He stared intently at Tang Qi and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, what are you doing out so late at night? What if you meet bad people?"
"You're lucky to have run into us today. Why don't you come with us? We'll take you home."
Tang Qi was terrified, her face turning a little pale. "Don't come any closer, or I'll call the police!"
But the yellow-haired man was not afraid. They had originally intended to block the road and extort some money, but they never expected to encounter such a beautiful woman.
What was money compared to this? Wouldn't it be better to abduct this beautiful woman and have some fun?
He chuckled again and said, "Call the police? Alright, do you know the police number? If not, I'll teach you."
After saying that, his beastly claws reached out towards Tang Qi.
"Ah!" Tang Qi screamed and retreated heavily, pressing herself tightly against the car.
But the yellow-haired man didn't touch Tang Qi because Wu Tian grabbed his hand.
"I'll give you one chance, get lost now!" Wu Tian's voice was exceptionally stern.
The yellow-haired man frowned and said, "What are you, to dare to ruin my good deed? Believe it or not, I'll kill you?"
"Your chance is over," Wu Tian said coldly, "Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tian punched the yellow-haired man, knocking him down.
"Kid, you dare to hit me!"
The yellow-haired man had two of his front teeth knocked out. He roared in fury, "Attack! Kill him!"
The thugs swarmed towards Wu Tian, all with fierce expressions and imposing momentum.
But Wu Tian's eyes remained calm. As his fists and feet moved, a muffled wind sound whistled, and in a flash, he took down all the thugs.
"With such little skill, you dare to act like a hooligan? Where do you get your courage?"
Looking at the thugs groaning on the ground, Wu Tian said with disdain.
After being beaten by Wu Tian, the thugs dared not say another word. They quickly got up and scrambled away.
"What a bunch of scum!"
Wu Tian cursed, then turned to look at Tang Qi, "Beautiful lady, how are you? Are you alright?"
But at this moment, he found Tang Qi squatting on the ground, gently touching her ankle with her small hand, her expression appearing quite pained.
"Wu Tian, I think I twisted my ankle..."
