With You by My Side, I Am Not Afraid

“How many miniature bombs does Gao Liming have prepared?”

“Ah, An, you mean that? Wait a moment, I’ll ask Xiaoming about it.”

An Youyi wasn’t in a hurry.

Because she knew that being impatient wouldn’t help.

Before long,

Gao Liyuan got the situation under control.

“An, he’s just made around ten so far, what’s the matter?”

“Have someone send them over to me.”

“No way!!!”

Gao Liyuan exclaimed in surprise.

An Youyi frowned slightly, her eyebrows knitting together.

“Hm?”

“Ahem---- What I mean is, isn’t this a bit rushed? Ten isn’t enough! I’ll get that guy to prepare some more, try to make another ten before tonight, that’ll make twenty in total!! No, no, if he works non-stop without eating or drinking, he should be able to make a few more. An, let’s not risk spooking the snake; if we’re going to strike, let’s go big. I’ll tell you how many we need: fifty of them, to send the Dragon King straight to meet God.”

An Youyi paused for 0.0001 seconds, then shook her head and said,

“Ten will be enough.”

Seeing that An Youyi had spoken,

Gao Liyuan could only say, “Give me a location, and I’ll have someone deliver them to you. Are we going to make our move today?”

“Yes,” An Youyi replied.

Gao Liyuan thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll have Xiaoming come along to help as well. He’s got some special high-tech weapons that might be of some use to you.”

“No need, I’ve got backup here. You all have more important things to focus on.”

Gao Liyuan’s eyes lit up, and her body trembled slightly.

“If there’s anything I can do to help, I won’t hesitate. Please, tell me!”

An Youyi said, “Lin Fan will be coming to my location soon. Hack into the surveillance systems in this area and lock onto his vehicle.”

What???

Is that all?

Isn’t this something anyone can do with a little skill?

“Don’t worry, An, I’ll make sure to complete the task the organization has assigned me.”

Gao Liyuan said confidently.

An Youyi then mentioned a few precautions,

before finally hanging up the phone.

Song Ligang, who had been listening in, was feeling a little uneasy.

He had thought it would just be a simple matter of teaching Lin Fan a lesson.

But he hadn’t expected An Youyi to actually be planning to kill him.

Killing someone here wasn’t an easy feat.

Nearly every corner was equipped with surveillance cameras.

But with a top-tier hacker on board to handle the situation,

there’d be no need to worry.

Evidence?

The evidence would be gone.

Well, not exactly gone—more like the cameras in the area would suddenly malfunction.

So sorry, no footage of the killer available.

Just thinking about it sent shivers down Song Ligang’s spine.

Nothing spares lives like the venomous plans of a woman scorned.

One word says it all: ruthless!!

But considering the target was Lin Fan,

he chose to keep that opinion to himself.

“Let’s start the operation,”

An Youyi said, glancing at Song Ligang and giving the command.

Song Ligang nodded at her, signaling that he understood.

Moving back to Xu Mo’s side.

“Honey, I want to go somewhere later, will you come with me?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao swayed Xu Mo’s arm,

pleading cutely.

An Youyi had also informed Zhou Qiaoqiao of the plan.

Acting needed to be convincing.

This was a golden opportunity to eliminate Lin Fan.

Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t want to miss it.

What?

Wasn’t she against killing Lin Fan before?

Yes, that was true.

But now Xu Mo was hers.

The kind of guy you couldn’t get rid of even if you wanted to.

Besides,

Zhou Qiaoqiao planned to have several children with Xu Mo.

Maybe a few robust boys,

or some beautiful little girls.

With children as their bond,

Xu Mo wouldn’t ever entertain thoughts of self-sacrifice.

This was another crucial reason for Zhou Qiaoqiao’s desire to eliminate Lin Fan!

If Lin Fan wasn’t dead,

she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night!

Xu Mo laughed and said, “Today, you can go wherever you want, and I’ll be your full-time driver.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao laughed joyfully, her figure trembling, “No need to drive, I just want to go shopping.”

Xu Mo glanced at his watch, noticing he still had about an hour and a half free.

Time was quite abundant.

“Then let’s go.”

Xu Mo didn’t dare to say they could buy anything they wanted.

After all, Lady Demon had amassed a fortune.

She had doubled the wealth of the Xu family,

and even benefited the Zhou family significantly.

In other words,

the Lady Demon might even be wealthier than him, the so-called national husband.

It couldn’t be helped.

He just couldn’t match her in terms of family status.

Meanwhile, not far away,

Lin Fan, Ma Qun, and the group of young ruffians they had recruited, were glaring menacingly in their direction.

Lin Fan’s eyes were filled with hatred, a cold smile spreading across his face as he muttered to himself,

“Laugh! Laugh all you want! You’ll be crying soon enough, you miserable couple!”

Lin Fan’s voice was low.

But Ma Qun, being a martial artist, was the only one who heard him.

Ma Qun chuckled awkwardly.

The Dragon King’s resentment toward Xu Mo had clearly deepened.

Case closed.

There was no need to ask why.

It was all Xu Mo’s fault, anyway.

In Ma Qun’s opinion, Xu Mo shouldn’t have provoked Lin Fan.

“Where’s the assassin?! Where is he? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Lin Fan observed the area for a while,

noticing that an important figure was missing.

Ma Qun scratched his nose.

“Probably preparing.”

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like a venomous snake ready to strike its prey.

“Today, even if Jesus himself comes, he won’t be able to save this playboy’s happy life—I’m telling you!!”

Isn’t Xu Mo just a womanizer?

Ruin him.

See how he seduces decent women after that.

Lin Fan didn’t feel he was doing anything wrong.

On the contrary, he believed this would help correct some of the bad social trends in society.

It’s clear that the world needed him.

The hired troublemakers from the back were dumbfounded.

Their boss wanted to make sure the target would never have children.

Isn’t that a bit extreme?

It’s even worse than a father-killing feud.

A father-killing feud is an eternal enmity.

Doing something like this would make people target your entire family.

They would make sure you and your loved ones paid a heavy, catastrophic price.

The few yellow-haired punks exchanged glances.

Eye signals flying between them,

some wanted to back out.

But the majority restrained themselves.

Compared to death,

they were more afraid of being broke.

They didn’t have any money.

They just HAD to do it!!

If they didn’t, how would they make any money?

No stakes for gambling, no cash to spend on entertainment.

Take one big risk, and live luxuriously for ten years.

Absolutely no downside!

“Dragon King, the assassin is here.”

Ma Qun pointed out.

Lin Fan followed the direction he pointed,

seeing An Youyi heading toward Xu Mo.

She walked behind him.

Lin Fan smirked disdainfully.

(￣_,￣ )

“You’re dead, Xu Mo!!!”

“Follow me.”

Lin Fan waved his hand and led the group forward.

He felt a bit uncomfortable.

After all, he had once led a special forces team.

And now,

he was leading a bunch of hooligans.

It was a bit humiliating.

But Lin Fan didn’t care anymore.

Because Xu Mo had gone too far, crossing his bottom line.

He was pushing the limits of living dangerously,

teetering on the edge of self-destruction.

If Xu Mo wanted to find death,

that was no one else’s fault.

Back to Xu Mo’s side,

While walking, Xu Mo was suddenly puzzled.

“Qiaoqiao, why are we walking into this alley?”

“Youyi said there’s a delicious duck neck store in here, you know—good things are worth seeking deep. I’d like to try it.”

“Oh, eh?? Where’s Youyi?”

“I don’t know, she was just here, wasn’t she?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao pretended to be surprised, her little mouth forming an “O” shape.

Xu Mo didn’t feel anything was off until this moment.

If the Dragon Lady disappears,

it creates a perfect opportunity for Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao to be alone.

Zhou Qiaoqiao felt a bit helpless.

Her husband is so clueless~~~~~!

This won’t do.

You can never be too careful when it comes to matters of safety.

If he ends up being sold someday,

he might even help the people who sold him count the money.

No, no, no.

She needed to find a chance to educate him properly,

back up her warning with facts.

And just as this thought crossed her mind,

a few figures appeared in front,

and several more appeared from behind.

All of them wore masks,

hoods pulled up, layered with disguises.

They were wrapped tightly,

afraid someone might recognize them.

Their eyes were locked onto Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao.

Aiming directly at their target, their footsteps didn’t stop.

Step by step, inch by inch,

they were drawing closer.

Thump, thump, thump-------------

Zhou Qiaoqiao’s heart raced.

She knew Song Ligang was waiting in the shadows nearby.

She also knew that herself and Xu Mo would be safe.

This was purely to buy An Youyi as much time as possible to plant the bombs.

She knew,

but she couldn’t help but feel a sense of uneasiness.

Xu Mo sensed that something was wrong.

He looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao and smiled, his tone light.

“Looks like we’ve run into some trouble.”

“Mhm.”

“Are you scared?”

“As long as you’re with me, I’m not afraid.”

Xu Mo tightened his grip on her hand.

“If a fight breaks out later, don’t worry about me. I’ll create an opportunity for you to escape.”

This time, he was ready with his iron shirt and golden bell.

He shouldn’t be selling anyone out.

Xu Mo calculated.

Besides being tough and durable.

He also knew a basic form of Bajiquan.

Fighting average people was easy.

But the two men following behind this group.

Their aura, the way they walked.

Gave a different feeling to someone who understood martial arts.

Xu Mo could tell.

The timing of the Dragon Empress leaving.

Just happened to overlap shortly before these men appeared.

Xu Mo already had a good guess who it was.

Aside from his sworn enemy.

The Smirking Dragon Emperor.

Who else could pull off something like this?

Zhou Qiaoqiao shook her head, “No.”

Xu Mo’s expression was serious, speaking to the Demoness with a rare sternness, “Listen to me!! I told you to leave, so leave!”

“Damn it, attack!!!”

Someone from the crowd suddenly shouted.

Then a few small-time thugs rushed towards Xu Mo.

Some even pulled out baseball bats.

Xu Mo raised an eyebrow.

He shielded the Demoness behind him.

No matter what.

He couldn’t let the Demoness get hurt.

Not even a little bit!

Never!!!

At the same time.

From another location.

A tall, burly figure charged out.

This man was like a giant bear.

A human-shaped mountain.

Giving a sense of unrivaled security.

As long as he was there.

No danger could ever happen!!!

The moment Song Ligang rushed out.

These little punks were stunned.

Wasn’t it said that Xu Mo didn’t bring any bodyguards?

So who was this guy?

A professionally trained bodyguard.

Fighting them was like an adult fighting a child, or a grandfather beating up a grown man.

It was a complete and utter rout.

There was no chance to resist, and they’d just have to take it without even being able to complain.

It was terrifying.

Goodnight, my loves. I’m all caught up now.
