Chapter 14 – It’s a mother’s duty to protect her cub!

The next moment he waved the knife in his hand and suddenly heard a “bang,” and Boss Wang suddenly let go.

Jiang Lu looked up and saw Qi Anan holding the umbrella with both hands, looking at Boss Wang as though confronted by a formidable enemy. Boss Wang was covering his head with a painful expression. Just now, Qi Anan hit his head hard with her umbrella.

“Stinky girl, you and him. Damn, your mom is looking for death…” Boss Wang recovered a little, looking at Qi Anan’s eyes burst out with intense hatred, “It just happened that you sent yourself to the door. Today, you’ll be cleaned up together. Your brother cut off my way of survival. I’ll have to kill you and throw you in front of him!”

“You deserve it! Who let you speak badly? Who lets you bully Jiang Lu? You asked for this all by yourself!”

Qi Anan came over and saw him clutching Jiang Lu. She almost didn’t get angry. She even forgot to be afraid. She cursed and waved the umbrella to hit him, baring bare fangs and brandish claws, exploding like a little kitten, somewhat of an imposing manner. It was just that there was no umbrella to shelter her, and she had long been drenched.

(t/n: baring bare fangs and brandish claws: making threatening gestures)

Boss Wang was caught off guard and was hit by her a few times. He was already furious and stretched out his hand to grab Qi Anan.-

Jiang Lu frowned. His hand was one step faster than his brain. He pulled Qi Anan, hid her behind him, and kicked Boss Wang in the stomach.

His strength wasn’t small. Boss Wang fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, covering his stomach in pain. This side of the commotion was too big. Although it was still raining heavily, the street gradually gathered some people.

Qi Anan hurriedly pointed at Boss Wang: “He’s a human trafficker! A wretched man! He’s beating us and capturing us!”

A fierce-faced man and two young students, the favorability of people’s hearts were biased in one place and looked at Boss Wang with hostile expressions.

“So arrogant on the street. Must be tired of living.”

“Don’t be afraid. He wouldn’t dare to come over.”

“Call the police…”

There were many people that Boss Wang held back, seeing someone to call the police. A flash of panic passed through his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, staring viciously at Jiang Lu and Qi Anan. It was hard to eliminate the hatred in his eyes: “You two wait for me! I don’t believe I can’t get you killed!”

After dropping a vicious sentence, he covered his stomach and ran away in a hurry.

After he ran away, the crowd gradually dispersed. Qi Anan was a bit uneasy: “Jiang Lu, where did he hit you just now?”

Jiang Lu shook his head: “He didn’t hit me.”

That was good but seeing that he would definitely come again like that, Qi Anan frowned tightly: “Jiang Lu, he just said…”

Jiang Lu didn’t care at all. He took the umbrella in Qi Anan’s hand and spread it, covering her head: “Take it yourself.”

Qi Anan readily followed his advice and took it, raised it up, and covered Jiang Lu under the umbrella.

Suddenly the rain stopped. Jiang Lu was startled, lowered his head, and frowned at Qi Anan tightly.

He had never seen the young girl in such a mess. Her hair was drenched, wisps of luster gems stuck in her white cheeks because of the cold, her usually rosy lips frozen into a light pink.

But this look contrasted more and more with her clean and clear eyes, black and white clearly contrasted, reflecting his figure crystal clear.

(t/n: black and white clearly contrasted: unambiguous.)

Jiang Lu’s Adam’s apple moved up and down. He went to pick up the umbrella silently, only to find that he used too much force when he hit Boss Wang just now. The umbrella was broken in several places.

“Let’s use one umbrella,” Qi Anan saw Jiang Lu pick up the broken umbrella and went over to tilt the umbrella on Jiang Lu’s head. “Jiang Lu, just now, that person won’t give up easily. What if he comes back to trouble you?”

Jiang Lu’s eyebrows frowned very tightly. Not only would he trouble himself, but that bastard would also find her, but she didn’t seem to realize it yet.

He looked down at Qi Anan. His voice could be considered gentle: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

“But how would you…” Qi Anan was about to speak but was interrupted by Jiang Lu.

“Don’t rush up again in the future.” It was too dangerous.

“Oh…” Qi Anan thought for a while, then retorted, “But I couldn’t stand by and watch the situation just now. If he took you to the car, what would you do? I could still catch up to the car. It would be too late to regret if something happened.”

Jiang Lu couldn’t say anything.

Her voice in the middle of the downpour seemed softer. Her tone was natural and earnest as if talking about a very ordinary and everyday thing.

Suddenly there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, this time, it was louder than the previous thunder, and it continued endlessly, but Jiang Lu didn’t tremble again.

The sound of the wall in his heart collapsing was even more deafening than the thunder, and the mighty torrent gushed out, completely tumbling.

Jiang Lu sent Qi Anan home that day. He stood in front of her house, his eyebrows weren’t as cold as usual: “I’ll wait for you here at seven o’clock tomorrow morning. Let’s go to school together in the future.”

At that time, Qi Anan still didn’t understand. She thought it was because true sentiments were seen in hard times, so Jiang Lu regarded her as a good friend, so he offered to go to school with her.

(t/n: true sentiments were seen in hard times: you know who your true friends are when you go through tough times together.)

He had to walk two extra blocks to wait for her every day and would drop her off at home after school. He said it was a little on the way. Still, whenever they met in the morning or parted in the evening, Qi Anan could always see the corners of Jiang Lu’s lips lifting slightly.

He was already beautiful in appearance, and when he smiled lightly, he looked too good to be true.

A month later, there was a piece of big news in the city. The owner of a small design company went bankrupt, and one night, after drinking heavily, he lost his footing, rolled down the old stairs of his rental house, and died on the spot.

After his death, various controlled knives were found in his house. There were many violent comments on social media platforms, with a severe tendency to retaliate against society and later the police. The police later found that he ran a company that evaded taxes and was even involved in fraud and molested several boys. The police later found out that his company was involved in tax evasion and even fraud, as well as having molested several young boys and other vile incidents.

(t/n: controlled knives are knives that are very lethal and forbidden in China.)

This matter once became a topic of discussion between people during tea and after dinner in those days. Still, Qi Anan didn’t pay much attention to it. She just breathed a sigh of relief when she knew it. This Boss Wang would never come to Jiang Lu, and she didn’t need to be constantly worried. Now that he was dead, she could breathe a sigh of relief.

It was just that after this incident, Jiang Lu suddenly stopped going to school with her.
