On the other hand, Fu Yu Shen did not have any idea that his life was in danger. He finished the meeting with his client and then followed him out of the classy restaurant which he had booked for the meeting.
" Then I will call you soon, Mister Fu," the old man whom Fu Yu Shen was sending off smiled at him before slipping inside the car as his driver turned on the ignition.
Fu Yu Shen bowed his head in acknowledgement and greeting as he bid the old man goodbye and straightened up the second the car was no longer in sight.
" Ah, that old man sure was chatty but at least I don't have to worry about him refusing the deal," Fu Yu Shen sighed as he arched his back and then rolled his shoulders before turning to look around the silent surroundings and shuddering a little when he realised that it had gotten a bit too late in the night.
A cold breath left his lips as he muttered under his breath, " I should go home as well, who knows what might happen to me if I stay here."
After suffering from a myriad of incidents, Fu Yu Shen seemed to have accepted the fact that his luck was far worse than that of his brothers. If it was one of his elder brothers, they might not suffer a misfortune but he was different, the second he was alone, he was destined to face something ——
" Help!" No sooner did that thought come to his head, than a cry of a woman in plight came to ring inside his ear.
Fu Yu Shen paused but he did not turn around, what if this was another trap? What if he saves that woman and ends up falling in a pit instead?
No, No, he should ignore this scream and continue with his plan of going back home. No matter what it was safer and it wasn't as if he was the only man on these lonely streets, right?
Whoosh.
Just as Fu Yu Shen turned his head around, he was surprised to find that he was indeed the only man on these lonely streets. What the hell? What happened to the general population of men?
Where the hell were they hiding tonight? Usually, this street will be full of hooligans and thugs drinking and having fun. Ah, yes….
Hooligans.
As Fu Yu Shen came to a stop in front of his car, he saw a woman getting teased by a bunch of hooligans in an alley which was right in front of his car and Fu Yu Shen face palmed.
Seriously, of all places, they only found this alley? The one which is right in front of his car, honestly? Like there were a bunch of alleys on this street why chose the one which was in front of his car?
It was all right though, the woman still haven't seen him and he could still sneak out. Sure it sting his pride and conscience a little but Fu Yu Shen had learned the lesson of putting the oxygen mask first on his mouth before saving anyone.
" Mister! Yes the one in suit! Please help me!" But just as he was going to sneak away, the woman noticed him and called for help.
Crap, now he can't even leave.
Fu Yu Shen cursed his luck before sighing as he took out his phone and then waved it in front of the hooligans and said, " All right that's enough fun on your part, if you don't let the young lady go then I will have to call for police."
Though Fu Yu Shen spoke righteously, he wanted to go back home desperately. He did not even care if the woman in front of him was a young woman who was beautiful and terrified because of what happened to her just now.
After the incident of getting his soul ripped in pieces and stolen from his body just because of a woman, Fu Yu Shen was left traumatized, now every time he saw a frail and helpless-looking woman, he only wished to stay away from her.
The hooligans all looked at the rich young master who was threatening them. The leader's gaze fell on Fu Yu Shen's phone and he clicked his tongue before turning on his heels and leaving.
Though the girl was pretty she was not so beautiful that they would be willing to go to prison. It was just not worth it.
Fu Yu Shen sighed in relief when he saw that the hooligans were leaving the last thing he wanted was to get entangled in a mess from which he cannot disentangle.
However just as he turned around to open the door of his car, he came face to face with the woman who was getting harassed.
" Gahh! What …what now?" He questioned as he took a step away from the woman who was standing in front of him.
" Can you… please help me. I am not asking for money or anything just takes me to my home… it is on the third alley from this building," the young woman pleaded softly. Her entire body was trembling and she looked close to fainting but Fu Yu Shen was not fooled, he was fooled once and twice there was no way he was going to let anyone make a fool out of him again.
" I am busy, I have a wife waiting for me at home——" he began but the woman was not listening, she immediately reached out her hands and clasped his own with them.
" Oh but please," said the woman with tears brimming in her eyes. " I am afraid that those men will come looking for me if I go home alone… so please, just lead me to the front door. I will not even ask you to follow me in."
" I…"
" Young man if she is asking for help, then why don't you help her a little?" Just as Fu Yu Shen was going to refuse he heard the voice of an old man. He turned around and looked at the old man standing behind him with a hunchback and narrowed his eyes before he said, " If you feel so bad for her why don't you help her, old man?"
" Hah, the young men of this generation…" the old man sighed as he limped forward and continued muttering, " Back in my days I would even take down a bear with bare hands but now these young men with that figure which they use to show off can't even lead a terrified woman to her home. How embarrassing…"
Fu Yu Shen was speechless as he turned to look at the young woman and asked, "Are you not going to let go of me?"
" Not unless you help me."
Fu Yu Shen: "…." That's some bold way of asking for help miss.
