The scorpion sneered threateningly, brandishing the knife in front of Wang Xiaoqiang with awkward, stiff movements. It was clear that he wasn't someone who handled knives regularly.

Wang Xiaoqiang's smile disappeared, his expression growing dark as he pointed at Scorpion and said, "The thing I hate most in life is people showing off their knives in front of me. Just a few days ago, I crippled someone's hands for that. You two mutts keeping your hands won't be of any use anyway..."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang's face darkened further, and he walked straight toward the two men.

Seeing that they were outmatched, the two thugs grew timid upon witnessing Wang Xiaoqiang's fearless approach. With escape not an option, they had to face him head-on. They exchanged a look and advanced with their knives toward Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't use spells on the busy street, so he had to rely on hand-to-hand combat. His hands shot out almost simultaneously, one for each, grabbing the assailants' knife-wielding hands without needing to build momentum, he twisted forcefully.

Crack!

Crack!

......

Ah!

Ah!

......

As it turned out, these two men had no Kung Fu skills, and they were weaklings. The moment their arms were twisted and broken, they let out cries like slaughtered pigs.

A couple of kicks later, the two whining cowards were knocked to the ground by his sharp strikes.

Wang Xiaoqiang walked over to the motorcycle, retrieved Tang Wan's bag, and then approached the two men writhing in pain. He gave them each an extra kick and said, "There are all sorts of trades, each with its master. I don't blame you for being thieves, but I do blame you for not choosing your targets wisely... Now, tell me, how should we settle this today, officially or privately...?" Wang Xiaoqiang took out his cellphone and pretended to call the police.

"Privately, privately..." Scorpion stopped his crying and pleaded loudly, "Big brother, please spare us. We have wives and children to support at home, you can't call the police!"

"All right, we'll settle it privately then!" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a smile, "I won't ask for much, just give me whatever you have on you! It's not really yours anyway!"

"Thank you, big brother, we'll hand it over right now..."

Enduring their pain, the two men fumbled through their bags in a panic, handing over all they had stolen that day.

A pair of jade bracelets, a watch, two cell phones, and nearly six thousand yuan in cash.

Wang Xiaoqiang, not wanting the hassle, had opted to settle privately. Although he had money, he accepted the bracelets and watch, knowing they were stolen goods, rolled up the cash, and tucked it into his wallet. After hesitating for a moment, he also pulled out a fifty-yuan bill, along with the two cell phones, and threw them in front of the pair, laughing, "There, you've been busy all day, so here's some lunch money for you..."

Having said that, he stepped over the two men's bodies and hailed a taxi at the side of the road.

After running all this way, he didn't feel tired at all, only exhilarated... Although he longed to feel the rush of running at breakneck speed again, his abnormal velocity wasn't suited for running on the streets. Not wanting to cause further disturbance, he chose to take a taxi.

Only after Wang Xiaoqiang had taken the cab and gone did Scorpion and the mohawked man get up from the ground. The mohawked man morosely said, "What a swagger, how did we run into such a freak today? He's not only fast but can also fight..."

"Fight my arse..." Scorpion gave his buddy with the mohawk a heavy slap on the head and retorted, "Aren't you just bolstering the enemy's morale and destroying our own spirit?"

The mohawked man stuck to his guns, muttering softly, "But the guy really can fight!"......

Falling in love with someone doesn't require a reason, but it does require fate, and Tang Wan's love for Wang Xiaoqiang had no reason—it was all because of fate. When fate arrived, love blossomed.

Even the strongest women have a fragile side, which is why they seek a man who provides a sense of security to be their partner. Wang Xiaoqiang had impressed Tang Wan as being calm and collected in a crisis, courageous and meticulous, and unafraid to show his foes no mercy, exuding a real man's spirit. Yet, the one thing he lacked was the sense of security.

This was Tang Wan's greatest regret, a secret sorrow she had kept in her heart until...

Until Wang Xiaoqiang appeared unharmed before her eyes and handed her the handbag, saying with an easy smile, "Quick, check to see if anything's missing."

Tang Wan could hardly believe her own eyes.

Now, she realized that this man had always been overthrowing her normal way of thinking.

When he recklessly chased after the thief, she was still cursing him in her mind for being a fool, because she did not believe that Tang Wan could catch up with the thief and retrieve her handbag. Such an action could only cause him unnecessary harm. So when Wang Xiaoqiang persistently pursued the thief's accomplice on the motorcycle, she laughed, her face streaming with tears, finding him foolishly naive and adorable. Just now, while worrying about Wang Xiaoqiang's safety, she also found it a little odd, because given Wang Xiaoqiang's mindset, he wouldn't do such a reckless thing.

Therefore, during the half-hour that Wang Xiaoqiang was chasing the thief, Tang Wan's mind was continuously guessing and imagining how it would all end.

Then the outcome was beyond her expectations!

The result made her both shocked and overjoyed!

Tang Wan didn't take the bag, but instead threw herself into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms, her fists beating on his shoulder as she coquettishly chided, "What's there to count, even if the bag is important, is it as important as you? You big fool..."

"Hey, if you think I'm important, you should give me a once-over! I feel so sore all over, I don't know where I might be injured?"

Tang Wan stepped back from Wang Xiaoqiang's body, her eyes scanning him up and down, showing worry and concern, and asked doubtfully, "How? How do I check?"

"Best to find a hotel, then I'll strip off my clothes..."

Before he could finish, Tang Wan already understood what his "checking" implied, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. She spat lightly and scolded, "I knew you weren't up to any good today!"

"Huh? How do you know I wasn't up to any good?" Wang Xiaoqiang said, grinning slyly.

"By your, face, expression!" Tang Wan lowered her voice and articulated every word into Wang Xiaoqiang's ear. "Hey, hey... you can only blame yourself for dressing too provocatively today, it made even someone with strong self-control like me have all sorts of fantasies..."

"Gege..." Tang Wan giggled charmingly, reaching out to touch the center of Wang Xiaoqiang's chest, "Let me see if you really were thinking that..."

Wang Xiaoqiang took her delicate hand and kissed it.

"Ah! You're bad?" Tang Wan blushed coyly, "There are so many people here, you better not..."

Before she could finish, Wang Xiaoqiang planted another kiss directly on Tang Wan's blushing cheek, making her blush deepen. Thankfully, the night concealed her, preventing embarrassment. "Hey, Wan'er, shall we go to my place?"

Wang Xiaoqiang wrapped his arm around Tang Wan's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "I have a great gift for you!"

"I'm not going!" Tang Wan wasn't very resolute, "I don't know what kind of mischief you're up to!" "Really not going?"

"Another day, then, today's... not quite right!" Saying this, Tang Wan looked down a bit regretfully.

"Alright, then let's go shopping!"

"Mm!" Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang didn't insist, Tang Wan inwardly sighed with relief.

Shopping for Tang Wan meant buying clothes, buying like crazy.

Store after store, the number of bags in Tang Wan's hands grew more and more, heavier and heavier, until Wang Xiaoqiang showed a look of weariness, and she stopped, saying, "Alright, I'll just buy these six for today..."

"Eh? The way you talk, it sounds like you plan on coming back..." said Wang Xiaoqiang, frowning.

"Of course, with such a good card..." Tang Wan pulled out a Supreme vip card and flaunted it in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, smirking proudly, "...I can't let it hibernate in my pocket!"

"You think I really want to buy clothes? I asked you out to shop just to have you spend more time with me..." Tang Wan pouted.

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat. He felt a strong surge of warmth flood his heart.

Tired from shopping, they put their clothes in the car and then went to a small bar to unwind;

The sky had already turned dark. Camphor Garden was now at the peak of its revelry, with everyone moving from their tables to the dance floor. In the dancehall, the dancers also entered a frenzied state, each one moving as if they had taken ecstasy, shaking their heads and gyrating freely...

Under the multicolored lights, the faces were a blur, people lost in the music, their expressions intoxicated. Tobacco smell mixed with the scent of alcohol, intertwined with the aroma of desire, fermenting continuously in this cramped space...(To be continued.
