Chapter 284 Jianghu Figures Who Didn't Fire a Shot

On the street, two of the four thugs were kidnapping the manager of You Yifan's company, running quickly into the alley, while the other two were trailing behind. One held a gun-like object, and the other carried a knife, slowly backing away.

Inside the car, You Yifan's sister looked nervous, her eyes fixed on the kidnapped manager. She reminded again, "Don't let them take him away. There's a gun in the glove compartment."

Da Bai, hearing You Yifan's sister's reminder, immediately pointed to the glove compartment on the passenger side and asked, "Is it this?"

"Yes, it's there. I saw my brother take it out before..." You Yifan's sister nodded.

Da Bai opened the glove compartment and rummaged inside with his right hand. He pulled out a holstered handgun and a small amount of ammunition in a special moisture-proof bag.

This car was You Yifan's personal vehicle, worth over 300,000. Before the Epoch, it would have been a luxury car worth two or three million.

You Yifan was a naval officer with a special pass for his private vehicle. Plus, he liked guns and shooting, so getting a licensed gun wasn't difficult.

With the gun in hand, Da Bai felt much calmer. He turned to Su Tiannan and asked, "Get out?"

Su Tiannan looked up at the front of the car and saw the two thugs trailing behind start to run away.

"What are you two waiting for? Chase them! Even if you can't get the person back, you have to stop one of them. That manager is very important..." You Yifan's sister urged anxiously.

Su Tiannan hesitated visibly before reaching for the car door, ready to get out.

From the back, Su Miaomiao, who had been startled awake, immediately reminded, "Brother, brother...be careful."

"We'll get out. You come around and drive. Just go," Su Tiannan instructed his sister before stepping out of the car.

Just then, Su Tiannan noticed a man standing near the entrance of the alley the thugs had run into, his hands in his pockets, smoking a cigarette, looking towards the car.

The man was standing in front of a medium-sized restaurant, the lights from the entrance were blinding, making it difficult to see clearly. Su Tiannan could only make out a male silhouette.

They were about 150 meters apart. The man at the restaurant entrance must have heard the commotion, but he didn't move, just kept staring at the car.

Su Tiannan felt something was wrong. He thought the man was a lookout or giving orders, and rushing over rashly with Da Bai could cause problems.

"Are you going or not?!" Da Bai asked Su Tiannan, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Don't go. There's probably more than four of them," Su Tiannan said, retracting the leg he had extended from the car. "Call the police. Notify Yifan."

Hearing this, You Yifan's sister snapped, "What are you thinking?! I told you, our company's manager is very important. Go chase them. There are only four of them, and you have a gun. Even if you can't get the person back, knock one down and attract the patrolmen..."

Su Tiannan lowered his voice and replied, "There's someone watching out for them at the restaurant entrance."

"That person isn't with them. He came out of the restaurant. I saw him earlier."

"He's definitely with them," Su Tiannan insisted.

As they argued, the four thugs ran into the alley with the manager, passing right in front of the man at the restaurant entrance. But the latter didn't react at all, as if he didn't see them.

Inside the car, You Yifan's sister, for whatever personal reason, was very agitated. Seeing that Su Tiannan didn't move, she immediately reached out and shouted, "Give me the gun! I'll go!"

Da Bai looked at her and frowned, "You can't go. If something happens to you, we can't explain it to Fan-ge..."

"Give it to me now!" You Yifan's sister stood up from the back seat, trying to grab the gun, "He can't be taken away, give it to me!"

"Sit down!" Su Tiannan pushed her back. "There are only four people out here grabbing people, but who knows if there's anyone else in the alley? Going in rashly will cause trouble, my sister is here too..."

"Damn it, you're supposed to be a man, and a jianghu figure?!” You Yifan's sister cursed, grabbing Da Bai's gun with both hands.

"Buzz!"

Just as the argument was happening inside the car, the sound of a car engine came from the alley, and everyone froze.

You Yifan's sister was anxious. She didn't have time to grab the gun, so she jumped out of the car, threw off her high heels, and ran towards the alley.

"Let's go, follow them," Su Tiannan said, leading Bai Hongbo to run after her. "Little sister, you drive."

Hearing the call, Su Miaomiao climbed into the driver's seat from the back, closed the door, skillfully put the car in gear, and started the engine.

On the street, the three sprinted to the outside of the alley and stood on the side of the road, seeing an SUV speeding towards the other end of the alley, trying to escape.

At the restaurant entrance, the man smoking a cigarette had a flushed face and was staggering as he held his phone, frowning and shouting, "I'm not drunk, I'm with people from the Market Supervision Bureau... I'll be home later. Stop nagging, or I'm not going back."

"Hoo hoo!"

You Yifan's sister watched the SUV disappear into the alley, gasping for breath.

Inside the restaurant, two men came out. One looked up at the smoking man and called out, "Lao He, are you done talking to your wife?"

"Done, done, all settled."

"Then let's go, let's go get a massage?"

"Let's go!"

The three of them shouted and chatted for a moment, then walked arm in arm to the street corner, hailed a cab, and drove off.

Su Tiannan watched them leave, his brow furrowed.

"Bang!"

Just then, You Yifan's sister rushed over and punched Su Tiannan in the shoulder, shouting, "Worthless! I told you, they weren't together!"

Su Tiannan snapped back to reality, looked at You Yifan's sister, and didn't say a word.

"You call yourself a jianghu figure?! You're nothing!" You Yifan's sister was furious, putting her hands on her hips, returning to the car, taking out her phone, and immediately dialing her brother's number.

On the side of the road, Su Tiannan said to Su Miaomiao, "Never mind, just go home."

"You guys...?" Third Sister was a little worried.

"They've all run away, nothing will happen, you go back," Da Bai also reassured her.

Dozens of seconds later.

You Yifan called Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu, Zhou Tonghui, Su Tianbei and others on the boat, and they took a passenger boat to the shore.

The Gui Mengjun family's trade exhibition will not be held until next month, but the struggle for power and profit surrounding this event has already begun in The Dragon City Rises...
