Chapter 197 What a coincidence
The fat man immediately covered his mouth, his face contorted in pain. His lips were swollen, and blood was flowing from between his fingers, staining his palms red.
His teeth seemed to have been knocked out, and his lisp made people laugh.
Hearing his miserable howls, Gou Dan secretly chuckled, but dared not show it, and could only suppress his laughter.
Immediately afterwards, she threw the remaining three pebbles in the white-clad man's hand with a graceful and effortless movement, as light as if she were tossing flower petals.
However, these seemingly ordinary pebbles contain enormous power. They trace an arc in the air, flying towards their target with a sharp whistling sound.
The stone, carrying a strong wind, struck the three of them instantly, making a dull thud.
The leader felt a sharp pain in his knee, as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. His legs involuntarily bent, and he knelt down.
Due to inertia, he slid a short distance on the ground and finally stopped in front of Su Fuying.
His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat, clearly indicating that he was in great pain.
The second, gaunt man with a hammer was hit in the hand by a stone, and the hammer he had been holding high fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Due to excessive force, the hammer crushed his toes, splattering blood everywhere. He screamed and rolled on the ground, clutching his injured foot tightly with both hands.
The third one, who was at the very back, hadn't even seen the situation clearly when he was suddenly struck in the chest by something coming from the opposite direction. He almost couldn't catch his breath and fell straight to his knees.
"Young master is amazing!"
Gou Dan looked at Su Fuying with sparkling eyes, his face full of admiration.
Duofu seemed stunned by the scene, and only when the cries of pain rose and fell among the people did he rush forward to help them up.
But they didn't know who to help, and were at a loss for what to do.
"If you dare to criticize Gou Dan again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Then, Su Fuying grabbed a handful of gold leaves from her purse and threw them on the ground. "I'm buying this place. Take your things and get out."
Upon seeing the gold, the men disregarded their physical pain and rushed forward, scrambling to grab it from the ground.
"Young master, where will I live if I move out?"
Duofu seemed somewhat reluctant, his gaze lingering on her purse, his meaning quite clear.
"This money is more than enough to buy your life. Don't be stubborn and end up being punished."
Given the presence of children and the chaotic nature of the situation, she always adhered to the principle of leaving room for maneuver.
Duofu shrank back and could only turn around and urge the others to go inside and move things.
"Leave the grain behind."
Su Fuying added coldly.
"what?"
Duofu was taken aback, then immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, "Young master, this rice and grain has been stored up by my brothers for a long time. How can we live without us?"
"None of my business."
Duofu was taken aback, never expecting such a handsome young man to say such a thing.
"Get out of here now."
Su Fuying turned her head and looked over. The group shuddered in fright and quickly carried away all the dirty bedding from Duofu's room.
"Son."
Gou Dan stood there timidly, unsure of what to say.
"It's alright, go have fun."
Su Fuying waved to him, her mind racing with plans to leave the city that evening.
“Young master, I know where that young master from yesterday is.”
Dog Egg suddenly approached nervously, lowered his head and whispered.
"Really?" Su Fuying immediately perked up, staring intently at him.
"Hmm." Gou Dan nodded seriously and continued, "That day I saw him go into that big house on West Street."
"A big house? The city lord's mansion?" Su Fuying asked in confusion. How could he possibly enter the city lord's mansion so openly, unless...
"No, no, the city lord's mansion is to the north. He entered a large mansion, even bigger than the city lord's mansion. My grandmother and I have lived here for more than ten years, and we have never known whose house it was."
Gou Dan quickly shook his head to explain, while gesturing in the air as if afraid that Su Fuying wouldn't understand what he meant by "big".
Su Fuying was startled and fell into deep thought.
A series of questions welled up in Su Fuying's mind, and she decided to go and find out for herself.
Afterwards, Su Fuying found out the detailed route. Just as she was about to take out her money, Gou Dan tried to stop her, but seeing his own dark little hands, he quickly put them behind his back.
“Dog Egg doesn’t want the young master’s money. Grandma said we should repay kindness. The young master helped me today, and Dog Egg should tell the young master.”
After saying that, Gou Dan darted into the room. Su Fuying looked at that small figure and couldn't help but smile.
Night fell over the city, shrouded in darkness, and the howling north wind relentlessly whipped up the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound.
Following the route Gou Dan had described, before even reaching their destination, they heard a fierce fight.
Su Fuying carefully moved slowly along the wall, her gaze falling on a small alley next door. There, she saw several dark figures fighting desperately.
Upon closer inspection, she was surprised to discover that four or five men in black were attacking a man.
Just as she was about to condemn these people for their lack of martial ethics, she suddenly felt that the man's figure was strangely familiar.
Just as she was pondering this, the battle over there came to an end.
The man held a long sword, deftly flipping it in his palm before thrusting it into the chest of the last assassin without hesitation.
"come out!"
The man quickly sheathed his sword, his cold gaze fixed on the corner.
Upon hearing the voice, Su Fuying immediately recognized who it was.
"What a coincidence."
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Yuheng's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively turned his head, his gaze searching for the blurry face in the darkness, a hint of doubt and uncertainty in his eyes.
What are you doing here?
The man's expression instantly changed from surprise to displeasure, and his originally gentle voice turned cold, as if carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
"make a sightseeing tour?"
Su Fuying said it casually, but she knew in her heart that the other party would definitely not believe it. However, she didn't care, since even she herself didn't believe it.
Just then, the man's face suddenly darkened, his sharp eyes fixed on the traces of blood on Su Fuying's chest, his gaze revealing concern and tension.
“Are you hurt?”
Xiao Yuheng suddenly stepped forward, trying to examine Su Fuying's wound more closely. However, Su Fuying subconsciously took two steps back, a faint smile on her face, and softly replied, "Someone else's."
Upon hearing this, the man seemed to relax a bit, as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart. He silently sheathed his sword, turned, and walked hurriedly into the street.
