Chapter 1090 - Fish Out Of The Water
Just a little bit more, yes, just a short distance left, just a few more steps left for her to get to the main road. As long as she got to the main road, she would be safe. Once she arrives home, she must ask Lu Yi to get her a bodyguard. She must not let the Su family have a chance to lay a hand on her, at least before she began to deal with the Su family.
All of a sudden, a man walked out from the corner with a cigarette between his fingers, heading toward her step by step. Yan Huan could not help but breathe a sigh.
Is everything fine yet?
She did not come to a halt. She just wanted to leave swiftly because danger seemed to be approaching her.
The man with the cigarette stopped abruptly and dropped half the cigarette in his hand on the ground. He took a cigarette box out of his pocket, fetching out another cigarette from it. He then put it in his mouth and lit the lighter.
He was very skilled with his movements as everything was done without the slightest bit of hesitation. Everyone could tell that he must be an experienced smoker for at least five years and above.
Yan Huan did not have the free time to examine the number of years this person had spent smoking. Her house rarely had the smoking smell because, regardless of Lu Jin, Lu Yi, or Old Master Lu, they were trained as soldiers so they had excellent self-discipline. As such, none of them had the habit of smoking.
Since the family had three children, almost everyone who paid a visit to their house would not smoke within the compound. Moreover, Yan Huan disliked the smell of smoke. In fact, Lu Qin used to smoke. When she was into Lu Qin, she found his smoking posture very captivating as it exuded the charm of a humble yet mature man. Upon reflecting on this, she could only blame herself for turning a blind eye previously. He was obviously not smoking cigarettes, who knew what he was actually smoking at that time.
As he was overwhelmed with smoking to make himself feel comfortable, he neglected those passive smokers.
Yan Huan lowered her head and continued to trot down the street. Along the way, the man who was smoking looked daggers at Yan Huan with his pair of gloomy eyes.
Yan Huan bit her lip. As a result of her natural instinct for danger, she immediately dropped her belongings and started to run for her life.
However, the man who was smoking threw away the cigarette in his hand and caught up to her within a few steps. He then stretched out his hand to grab her hair.
Once Yan Huan felt the pain, her first response was to fight back. Her martial arts skills were fairly good but it all depended on her opponents. It was not a problem for her to fight against three to four opponents with moderate skills. However, when it came to Lu Yi and Lei Qingyi, she was no match for them.
It was just like the man who was grabbing her hair now. He smiled grimly with his temples bulging high, exhaling air that was carried with an awful smell of smoke. His martial arts skills were rather competent, of course, coupled with a hint of cruelness. Along with a thud, the cold sweats on Yan Huan's forehead came dripping down while her arm was hit to the ground.
As for another arm, it was lifted by the man. She was not only filled with excruciating pain but also her incompetence to fight back.
"Just tell me, I will give you what you want."
Yan Huan raised her head as she endured the searing pain from her arm.
Just then, the man fished out another cigarette and started smoking again. He lifted his leg and struck with his foot toward Yan Huan's belly, causing her to fall right straight to the ground. She was unable to move her arms, hence, only left with the ability to curl up. The sudden pain was thus far the most agonizing experience she had ever gone through in her life. Pain, intensely painful.
A moment later, a pair of hands surged forward and hoisted her from the ground. In a wink, Yan Huan felt a surging pain at the nape of her neck before she knocked out. The last memory of her consciousness was the groceries lying on the ground. After that, her vision became blurred until she lost consciousness completely.
All of a sudden, she felt the urge to cry, but she had no time to cry.
Not long after, it was like nothing had happened here with just a few bags of groceries lying on the ground. The fish in the bag fidgeted all of a sudden and eventually escaped from the bag. After tossing a few times, the fish gills began to open up as if it was trying to catch its breath. However, in the end, all that was left was the weakening fish gills and the fish scales that dropped to the ground when it tossed its body.
The fish mouth motioned every now and then and its pair of eyes appeared to have lost its original glint of light.
It was known that fish has zero traces of memories. However, it was unsure if this fish was able to recall the agonizing death of getting out of breath.
If there was an afterlife, never choose to be a fish.
If there was an afterlife, it was best to be an enormous tree.
Year after year, day after day, waiting for the arrival of spring blossom.
After a long time, a man came from a distance.
He was puzzled to see the groceries scattering around on the ground.
Who left these here?
He waited here for quite some time, but no one returned. At last, he picked up the groceries. It turned out to be a treat as it was all fresh. He thought this was someone else's garbage, but it was actually fresh ingredients with a fish and a chicken.
He moved forward hastily to pick up the fish. Tsk, what a huge fish! These groceries are enough to last my family for days.
He carried the bags of groceries with him as he walked across the road happily. As for how the groceries ended up here, it was none of his business. After all, the point was that he found them, not stealing them from somewhere.
What a lucky day! Getting to pick up plenty of groceries at once.
These ingredients were of good quality. If one wanted to buy them, it would cost up to hundreds of yuan. This fish alone was already very expensive, not to mention the chicken inside, and beef, and a lot of current off-season ingredients. Those were all expensive food, a gram would cost up to seven or eight yuan. I just could not figure out who would have thrown away these groceries in such good condition.
As the sound of the footsteps subsided, all that was left was a pool of dried water on the ground. It used to be the living space of the fish, comprising its air and life. However, there was nothing left behind now.
Lu Yi's car came to a halt and he walked out of it. Then, he opened the rear door to carry the children out from the car one by one.
He reached out his hand and held Xunxun up, and then he extended his hand toward Lu Qi.
Little Lu Qi grabbed his younger brother, Xiao Guang's hand and then clutched his father's big hand, ready to go home with his father.
"Daddy, did Mommy cook us a delicious meal?"
At a young age, Xunxun already knew how to taste good food.
"Of course." Lu Yi knocked on his daughter's little head with his forehead. "Mama knew all of you were coming over, so she made a lot of dishes. You must be good, eat more, then Mama will be happy, okay?"
