Chapter 953: Handsome Pan Hero
With a command from Santari, several members of the Black Wind Gang immediately approached the truck, while more than ten others collected all the weapons from Ye Kuang and his people.
Initially, Ye Kuang and the others were preparing to fight, but in the end, they held back, not daring to act up.
Internal injuries—a few among them felt a severe blow to their pride.
But there was no choice; before Jisangbru's Black Wind Gang, all his usual bravado disappeared.
"Captain Ye, are you just going to let them approach my family's truck so easily?"
Seeing the Black Wind Gang members preparing to open the truck, Wang Kevin stared at Ye Kuang in bewilderment.
Mind you, when they set out, Ye Kuang boasted endlessly, claiming that Jisangbru of Black Wind Mountain was his sworn brother, yet faced with Jisangbru, Ye Kuang was completely cowardly.
"Eldest Young Master, stop talking—is money more important or life?"
Ye Kuang helplessly spread his hands to Wang Kevin, shaking his head and sighing.
Wang Qing'er also quietly questioned from the side, "Captain Ye, you're the bodyguard leader, are you just going to watch others rob us?"
"Second Miss, I... sigh!"
Facing his crush Qing'er's questioning, Ye Kuang felt helpless, but between heroically risking his life and self-preservation, Ye Kuang chose the latter without hesitation; at this moment, survival was more crucial.
"Wow! We're rich! It's all money!"
"So much money! Boss, we've caught a big fish this time!"
"Tsk tsk, an entire truck full of valuables, including cash, must be worth over twenty million!"
When the Black Wind Gang members opened the truck and saw it full of cash and treasures, they were instantly overjoyed, like hens gone wild.
In the distance, Jisangbru also grinned, drank a couple of sips of wine, then produced a flashlight from somewhere, and shone it towards the truck, his joy evident.
"Dang it, we haven't worked in vain tonight—let's drive the truck back, and find some pretty ladies to celebrate!"
Both Jisangbru and Santari drank lustily and jubilantly, with the surrounding Black Wind Gang members cheering along; apparently, they had never seen so much cash before.
In fact, this cash was withdrawn by Wang Kevin and Wang Qing'er from the southern county town. It was intended for payroll to the villagers, as most people in their village had no bank cards and preferred cash.
However, the Wang family had originally taken precautions against bandit robbery, thus hiring the "renowned" Gale Guard; unexpectedly, they turned out to be useless, silent in critical moments!
"Brother, why aren't you speaking? Father insisted we must transport this... why are you hiding behind me now?"
Seeing the family's hard-earned money about to be taken by the robbers, Wang Qing'er became extremely anxious, looked at Wang Kevin, only to find him timidly standing behind a follower of Ye Kuang, utterly dazed and terrified, which infuriated Wang Qing'er.
"Hahaha, Ye Kuang, your Gale Guard seems pretty cooperative, haha... Today we won't do anything to you, we'll gladly take all the stuff in this truck. Next time if there's such a good deal, remember to notify me, goodbye! You can scram now!"
Seeing a truck full of money, Santari was thrilled, unable to resist using his Taunt Skill, mocking Ye Kuang whose face had turned livid.
Ye Kuang gritted his teeth furiously, regretting his actions, but there was no medicine for regret; his bodyguard mission was a complete failure!
Besides, returning would face his Gale Guard with compensation issues, needing at least twenty-five million in damages!
Even if he sold the Gale Guard, he wouldn't be able to gather that much money quickly.
But...
Having no money was better than losing his life, right?
So, when Santari ordered them to "scram," Ye Kuang could only obediently turn around, signal his followers, as well as Wang Kevin and Wang Qing'er siblings, and quietly said, "Let's... go!"
Initially when leaving, the Gale Guard and Wang family had signed a contract concerning Wang Kevin and Wang Qing'er's personal safety; if either of them lost their lives, Gale Guard had to compensate five million.
Thus Ye Kuang now only wished to quickly take Wang Kevin and Wang Qing'er away, for he knew previously that Black Wind Gang's second-in-command Santari apparently had a habit of exploiting innocent women.
Not to mention, the Wang family's treasured beauty Wang Qing'er, if targeted by Santari, it might spell long-term trouble, making their departure difficult.
"Go, go, go..."
Wang Kevin, hearing Ye Kuang say go, felt as if pardoned and ran to the front.
Ye Kuang protected Wang Qing'er, and seeing Qin Tian standing beside her, glared angrily at Qin Tian.
"If it weren't for you blocking me for a while today, I wouldn't be in this mess. You kid, you need to take full responsibility for this; come back with us! You'll answer for this!"
At this moment, while Ye Kuang glared at Qin Tian, he had a sudden brilliant idea of a way to lessen the compensation—
Make Qin Tian the scapegoat, blame everything on Qin Tian!
What a clever method!
However, facing Ye Kuang's handsome looks, Qin Tian had not yet spoken, but Wang Qing'er couldn't bear it anymore.
"Captain Ye, your actions are too excessive by blaming everything on Mr. Qin Tian, aren't they?"
Wang Qing'er stopped, glaring at Ye Kuang, "This matter—you Gale Guard Team, facing the robbery, did you do anything effective? Nothing! In the end, you're pushing the blame onto a stranger? Is this the style of your Gale Guard?"
Wang Qing'er was originally gentle, but her temper flared, angered by Ye Kuang and Wang Kevin's bullying behavior, thus her tone carried a sense of questioning.
"Second Miss... Qing'er... I..."
Ye Kuang was awkwardly questioned by Wang Qing'er, forcing him to respond boldly, "It's men's business; don't involve yourself. There's certainly a rationale for my actions!"
"I didn't wrong this Qin Tian; think about it, if he hadn't delayed us so much, do you think we'd still encounter the Black Wind Gang? On the road, I've been urging you all to get moving quickly..."
Ye Kuang continued shifting the blame, angering Wang Qing'er to stomp her foot.
However, while Ye Kuang explained to Wang Qing'er, behind them not far away, the lecherous Santari was already fixated on the youthful and attractive Wang Qing'er.
