As he spoke, Yu Taiduo took a step forward, and all the bodyguards behind him followed in unison. Just looking at their presence, it was indeed impressive.
Lin Ran smiled disdainfully. These people didn't know who he was yet. Once they found out who they were dealing with, they wouldn't be so arrogant.
So, Lin Ran shouted loudly, "I am Lin Ran."
No one on the other side moved. Lin Ran was taken aback.
He clearly remembered how the bodyguards from the Wang Corporation had been scared out of their wits just hearing Luo Yao's name. (Chapter 146: The playboy who harassed Luo Yao and got taught a lesson)
Could it be...
"My wife is Luo Yao," Lin Ran shouted again.
The bodyguards still didn't move.
Instead, Wang Bao leaned close to Lin Ran. "Young Master Lin, stop saying that. It's a bit cringey. Shouting names here is worse than finding a chance to establish a firing line."
Lin Ran thought to himself, fine.
The bodyguards of major families were fundamentally different from those of minor families, after all. They couldn't be scared off by just a name.
Yu Taiduo couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly felt Lin Ran was quite amusing and wanted to humiliate him.
Humiliating Luo Yao's husband must feel incredibly satisfying.
"Lin Ran, if you kneel and crawl between my legs right now, I'll let you leave. How about it?"
Lin Ran shook his head. "Not a chance. I, Lin Ran, only kneel to heaven, earth, and my wife. Besides that, I won't kneel to anyone, let alone the Hulk."
Lin Ran couldn't go three sentences without mentioning "green." Yu Taiduo finally got angry. He was done playing around.
He had paid a huge price for this kidnapping.
If he didn't resolve this soon, never mind Luo Yao, the pressure from the authorities alone would be unbearable.
"Lin Ran, since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude. Even if that crazy woman Luo Yao were here, she could only kneel and beg for mercy."
Lin Ran had been wearing a smile all along, but upon hearing these words, his face instantly filled with fierce hostility.
Dare to insult my wife?
He raised his pistol, squinting one eye to aim.
Yu Taiduo was startled. He didn't dare gamble on whether Lin Ran would pull the trigger or not.
After all, this was Luo Yao's man. He could do anything outrageous, and Luo Yao would clean up the mess.
"Bang!" Lin Ran pulled the trigger.
But after all, it was his first time firing a gun. The moment the bullet left the chamber, Lin Ran's hand jerked, and he almost dropped the gun.
The shot went wide. It didn't hit Yu Taiduo but struck the toe of a bodyguard behind him.
Two seconds passed.
"Aow—"
The bodyguard jumped up, clutching his toe. The other bodyguards all lowered their heads slightly.
They hadn't expected Lin Ran to actually fire.
Yu Taiduo took a deep breath. In that instant, he understood that Lin Ran's thinking was different from an ordinary person's.
Even though he was the crown prince of the Yu family, Lin Ran would pull the trigger without hesitation.
Because the Lin Ran opposite him was just as crazy as Luo Yao.
"You think you're the only one with a gun?"
As he spoke, Yu Taiduo also pulled out an exquisite pistol from his jacket.
Lin Ran almost died laughing. So, after all that, you only have this little thing?
Abu silently watched the movement of Yu Taiduo's finger, ready to save Lin Ran at the first moment.
"Attack." Yu Taiduo didn't fire the gun but gave the order instead.
Countless bodyguards stepped forward in unison, closing in on Lin Ran step by step.
It wasn't that Yu Taiduo didn't dare to shoot, but he wanted to capture him alive.
Only by capturing Lin Ran alive would he have the leverage to threaten Luo Yao.
Watching the approaching crowd, Lin Ran could clearly feel a drop of sweat on his forehead.
Scared?
It would be a lie to say he wasn't scared. This was also the first time in his life he had faced such a situation.
But would he back down?
Absolutely not, because he was Luo Yao's man.
Better to die standing than live on one's knees.
"Yu family, messing with me means you've messed with the King of Hell himself." Lin Ran's eyes became unusually serious. "Abu."
"Young Master Lin."
"Begin combat."
Abu raised his submachine gun. Wang Bao and Little Tong did the same.
Yu Taiduo narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe Lin Ran would actually mow them down.
This was a whole group of people. If too many died, no one could save Lin Ran.
But he still retreated slightly behind his bodyguards.
A battle between the two sides was imminent. Just as Abu's finger was ready to pull the trigger...
A "rumble" sound approached.
Several helicopters rapidly closed in, hovering at low altitude above them.
Lin Ran smiled.
Indeed, the person who could always bring him the greatest sense of security was Luo Yao.
With Luo Yao here, he wasn't afraid anymore.
Even if they died, they'd be companions on the road to the underworld.
The helicopters descended directly, not caring at all if anyone was below.
Of course, no one was foolish enough to stand there.
Luo Yao emerged from the first helicopter and ran straight to Lin Ran, checking him over carefully.
Thankfully, her A-Ran wasn't scratched.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Luo Yao looked up and planted a kiss on his lips.
She felt a sense of having survived a disaster.
Seeing the other side's numbers increase, Yu Taiduo dared not delay any longer.
Luo Yao had brought at least a dozen people. Not to mention their combat ability, if he delayed any further, the consequences could be severe.
Because now he was facing two maniacs.
"Luo Yao, I'll give you a chance. Call off the attacks on the Luo Corporation and submit to my Yu family."
Luo Yao's eyes filled with boundless killing intent as she slowly raised her head.
"Dare to touch A-Ran? You're seeking death."
As she spoke, she actually started walking towards Yu Taiduo. Lin Ran was startled.
Yu Taiduo had a gun in his hand.
So Lin Ran also prepared to charge forward but was pulled back by Abu.
"Young Master Lin, the young lady's skills are excellent."
How excellent could they be? No matter how skilled, you can't dodge bullets, right?
Luo Yao got closer and closer to Yu Taiduo. This time, it was Yu Taiduo's turn to be nervous.
Suddenly, Luo Yao flashed to the side, dodging just as Yu Taiduo began the motion of pulling the trigger.
Yu Taiduo's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Luo Yao to be so agile. He was just about to continue firing.
"Swish—"
"Ah—" Yu Taiduo's hand, along with the gun it held, was severed from his body.
Looking at the palm on the ground, Yu Taiduo couldn't believe it.
Looking up again, Luo Yao's dagger was already pressed against his neck.
Everything happened too fast. By the time the others reacted, Luo Yao had already completed the reversal of the strong and weak positions.
And Yu Taiduo, only at this moment, began to feel the heart-wrenching pain.
Luo Yao narrowed her eyes. "I originally wanted to confront you head-on, but you made me resort to force? Since that's the case, you don't get to live."
Only now did Yu Taiduo realize his predicament.
"You can't touch me. If you touch me, you won't leave this place alive either."
Luo Yao coldly swept her gaze across the entire scene. Everyone lowered their heads.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran felt infinite emotion.
It wasn't that the bodyguards were high-level; it was that his own level wasn't high enough.
Luo Yao raised her weapon, ready to finish off Yu Taiduo with one strike.
"Stop!"
