Just over ten kilometers ahead, they arrived at the fork by the highway.
The fork was flanked by dense woods, with winding paths leading into the depths. Following the gravel-paved fork forward, there were rolling mountains in the distance.
There were usually very few vehicles passing through here. In ancient times, it would have been a perfect place for robbery and murder.
I remember the first time, Xiao Yun accompanied Tang Yan back from Pearl City and eliminated the assassin Wu Xiong sent by Lin Shusheng right here.
The second time, Hong Qichang kidnapped Lulili and had Bai Man take her to Mingzhu to deliver her to Soft Red Silk. He and Lu Jiutang set an ambush here, killing Bai Man and Bald Man.
If Lu Ruanhong wanted to deal with him, she would definitely choose this place to strike.
As expected by Xiao Yun, the car behind accelerated, clearly intending to overtake his vehicle and set up an ambush on the road ahead.
Very good, Xiao Yun thought to himself, everything is proceeding according to my plan.
Just as the black car flashed past his vehicle, he lightly waved his hand and sent a painting stored in his Storage Ring into the other car.
That painting was a Pleasure Painting he had drawn for Leopard at Hongxing Hotel yesterday afternoon, with the female lead changed from Leopard's aunt to Lu Ruanhong.
At the same time, Xiao Yun used his ability to retrieve objects from a distance to stealthily take the small white bag next to Lu Ruanhong.
This series of actions was completed in an instant.
It was no joke; at that time, Xiao Yun could retrieve Ethereal Stones from deep underground. Now that he was at Panlong Mountain and had bathed in Spiritual Energy from Spirit Eye Cave, using these small techniques was even more effortless.
Sure enough, as the car approached the fork, Lu Ruanhong immediately ordered Leopard, "Turn the car into the dense forest of the fork; we will wait for that kid to arrive here."
"Alright, Boss Lady!" The Leopard turned the steering wheel sharply to the left, and the car veered into the nearby dense forest.
Soon after, several people climbed out of the vehicle.
Among them, a young woman was the last to exit. Just as she was about to close the car door, she noticed a painting under the front seat. Curiously, she picked it up and brought it closer to her eyes, only to have her expression change dramatically.
As she pondered how to deal with the painting, it caught the attention of Lv Ruanhong. Noticing her sudden shift in demeanor, she asked, "Xiao Cao, what are you looking at? Hand it over to me!"
"Uh, this..." The young woman named Xiao Cao glanced at the Leopard nervously and, with a pale face, cautiously handed over the painting.
Lv Ruanhong took the painting and saw that it depicted a couple lying in a hotel room engaged in an intimate act. Her face flushed slightly; upon closer inspection, she was enraged to discover that the man in the painting was the Leopard, and the woman beneath him was herself.
At the bottom of the painting was a line of text: "Painted by Leopard at Dalong Hotel." The timestamp indicated it was from last night.
Smack!
Lv Ruanhong trembled with anger and rushed in front of the Leopard, slapping him hard across the face.
Despite being a woman, her strength was not to be underestimated; that slap sent the burly Leopard crashing to the ground.
"Boss Lady, why did you hit me?" The Leopard covered his rapidly swelling cheek, bewildered and feeling incredibly wronged.
"Bastard!"
A murderous glint flashed in Lv Ruanhong's eyes as she threw the painting forcefully in front of him. "Is this what you did last night?"
Recalling how he had called her yesterday evening claiming he had seen Beautiful Hall Master enter Xiao Yun's room, she realized he had ulterior motives and intended to tease her.
Damn it, if you don't seek death, you won't die. Why don't you go home and seduce your own mother? How dare you set your sights on me?
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Lü Ruanhong became, and she kicked Leopard twice.
Leopard had already been scared out of his wits by that painting. He trembled as he said, "Boss Lady, I didn't make that painting. Even if you gave me the courage to swallow the heavens, I wouldn't dare to think about such things with you!"
This guy was so frightened that he could barely speak.
He didn't realize that his words only fueled Lü Ruanhong's anger further.
"You... you still dare to deny it?" Lü Ruanhong hated nothing more than disloyalty from her subordinates. Seeing things escalate to this point and this guy still refusing to admit it only made her more furious.
Leopard knew Lü Ruanhong's temperament well; if he truly angered her, he might not even be able to save his own life.
"Boss Lady, I... I admit it,"
The burly Leopard knelt at Lü Ruanhong's feet, bowing his head like a garlic clove, stammering, "I have indeed had thoughts about you, Boss Lady. I... I once peeked at you while you were bathing, and when I was with other women, I called your name..."
!!!
Uh, this guy really has some nerve!
The two young women nearby turned crimson upon hearing his confession, seemingly about to faint from embarrassment.
Puff!
Lü Ruanhong's body swayed, nearly fainting from anger.
How could a man have such filthy thoughts about her? What else was he capable of?
A mere bodyguard not only dared to peek at her while she bathed, but even called her name while doing that with another woman.
Lü Ruanhong, who had always been averse to dirt, felt nauseous just thinking about it, as if she had truly been humiliated.
Moreover, the one who humiliated her was a subordinate she rarely regarded. In her eyes, bodyguards and henchmen were merely dogs for her to command at will.
But in the eyes of this dog, while he was with another woman, did she become nothing more than a rag he could trample on?
How infuriating! It was truly infuriating!
At that moment, Lü Ruanhong suddenly felt an unusual heat rising within her, making her entire body uncomfortable.
Especially inside her bones, it felt as if someone was scraping them with a knife, and it was as if thousands of ants were gnawing at her bones.
"I want to kill you!" Lü Ruanhong's beautiful eyes turned crimson with rage.
Just as she was about to pounce on the leopard, her body swayed twice more, and the indescribable heat within her intensified, making her feel as though her bones were being burned.
"Cigarettes! I need to smoke!" Lü Ruanhong shouted hoarsely.
The two bodyguards immediately dashed to the car, opened the door, and searched everywhere but couldn't find the small pouch containing her Jade Body Smoke.
"Boss, your bag is not in the car!"
"What? Impossible!"
Lu Ruanhong leaned against the tree trunk with one hand while frantically searching her body with the other. Her body trembled violently, and if it weren't for the black veil covering her face, anyone who saw her delicate features at that moment would surely think they had changed shape from pain.
"Boss Lady, let me help you to the car to look for it!" Leopard said, trying to ingratiate himself as he approached her.
"Get your filthy hands off me!"
Lu Ruanhong was thoroughly disgusted by Leopard. Before his hand could reach her, she swiftly swung her palm toward him.
Smack!
The slap landed squarely on Leopard's face.
Leopard felt like crying.
Who put that drawing in his car?
Uh, it turned out to be a drawing of him and Boss Lady together...
He covered his face and quickly stepped aside, thinking that this was it; he really didn't know what Boss would do to punish him when he returned.
It was still those two Bodyguards who helped Lu Ruanhong to the side of the car—how could they have known that Xiao Yun had taken the bag away? There was no way she could find it!
"Ah, how could my bag be missing?" Lu Ruanhong panicked inside; she knew things were getting serious.
She remembered that when she was about to leave, she clearly had a bag with her, and inside that bag was her Jade Body Smoke.
"Leopard..." Lu Ruanhong suddenly seemed to realize something and slowly turned around. Her gaze, cold as a blade, fell on Leopard once again.
She began to suspect whether Leopard had betrayed her.
Otherwise, why would he have deliberately left the painting in the car?
He clearly intended for her anger to cause a mutation in her internal bone fragrance.
Then he took advantage of her distraction to hide her bag.
When Leopard saw Lu Ruanhong's gaze, which seemed ready to crush him to pieces, he couldn't help but shiver and stammered, "Boss Lady, you..."
"Did you hide my bag?" Lu Ruanhong asked through gritted teeth.
Thud!
Leopard trembled all over and knelt down again, hurriedly saying, "I... I didn't, I really didn't..."
At that moment, Xiao Lan ran out to take a look at the edge of the forest and quickly came back to report, "Boss, Xiao Yun's car is coming!"
"Let him go for today!" Lu Ruanhong sighed.
Lu Ruanhong understood that given her current situation, she didn't have the ability to deal with Xiao Yun. It seemed that if she wanted to eliminate him, she would have to find another opportunity or think of other methods.
Creak—squeak...
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yun's white Volkswagen Polo stopped right by the fork.
The car door opened, and Xiao Yun walked straight towards the dense forest, carrying a bag of women's lingerie.
Lü Ruanhong and the others wanted to hide, but it was too late.
"Dear Sister Ruanhong, what are you doing here?" With a swift movement, Xiao Yun was in front of Lü Ruanhong, feigning surprise as she asked.
Lü Ruanhong was momentarily stunned; she was completely covered, even her face was veiled. How did she recognize her?
Her gaze involuntarily turned to Leopard; it must have been him who informed Xiao Yun of her whereabouts, that traitor!
"Xiao, I will kill you!"
Leopard immediately understood from Lü Ruanhong's look that he had been misunderstood.
The only thing he could do now was to kill Xiao Yun to clear his name.
With a roar, he drew a short knife from behind and leaped into the air like an eagle pouncing on a rabbit, charging at Xiao Yun.
Bang!
Xiao Yun moved like lightning and threw a punch.
With a crack of breaking ribs, Leopard's sturdy body flew backward and crashed into a tree, bouncing back.
Puff!
The leopard crashed to the ground, spewing a large mouthful of blood from his mouth.
This was clearly a fatal blow. Lu Ruanhong's red eyes widened in shock; it seemed she had misunderstood the leopard. If he really had colluded with Xiao Yun, then Xiao Yun wouldn't have struck so hard.
"Watch out for the knife!"
The two young bodyguards drew their knives and were about to pounce on Xiao Yun.
"Xiao Cao, Xiao Hua, stop!" Lu Ruanhong hurriedly shouted at the two bodyguards.
She knew very well that with their skills, charging in would only lead to their deaths.
"The leopard is reckless, but how can you two young girls be so rash?"
Xiao Yun maintained a serious expression as he criticized the two young women. "I think I saw you both yesterday at Spring City. You should have witnessed the close relationship between me and Sister Ruanhong. How can you now raise your knives against the man she admires?"
Uh...
Xiao Cao and Xiao Hua exchanged glances, silently lamenting their boss lady's misfortune in encountering such a nemesis!
Then, Xiao Yun slowly walked up to Lu Ruanhong, smiling as he said, "Beautiful lady, plead with me; there's still time for me to save you. Otherwise, soon enough, your clothes will be gone!"
