Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Why Use an Ox-Cleaver to Kill a Chicken?
Gu Jiaojiao’s Inner Strength was now profound, and her hearing was excellent as well. The only question was whether the newcomers were friend or foe.
The car would be here in about ten minutes. "The Lin Family could help you find work, too. Why not go with them?"
"We only trust you," Wang Yuejin said, skillfully laying on the flattery.
"Hm. Your trust makes me happy. And you don’t seem like the type to be lazy or shirk your duties.
The three of you, take my motorcycle and head to the southern suburbs. There’s a medical equipment factory there."
"I know that factory! We’ve actually always wanted to get a job there, but we never had an in," Wang Yuejin said excitedly.
"Then whoever’s the best rider, take the other two and go. Now," Gu Jiaojiao ordered.
The approaching car was getting very close; it would be in sight in another five minutes.
Without another word, Wang Yuejin swung his leg over the motorcycle. "Da Shu, Gou Sheng, let’s go. Miss, what about you? How will you get out of here?"
"Just go! There’s a car coming to pick me up," Gu Jiaojiao urged, a note of urgency in her voice.
Judging from the sound, the approaching vehicle definitely didn’t belong to anyone she knew. She didn’t want these three innocent men to get dragged into this.
After Wang Yuejin and his friends had traveled a hundred meters or so, they saw three jeeps speed past them.
"Whoa, those are some high-end jeeps. Are they here to pick that young lady up?"
"Yuejin, for three jeeps to come pick her up at once... does that mean that immortal is really impressive?"
"Yuejin, Da Shu, from now on, we’ll do whatever that beautiful immortal says. Hopefully, we can make something of ourselves and return home in glory."
"If we get into the factory, we need to properly learn a trade. To survive in this world, you have to have a way to make a living.
Whether it’s through manual labor, brainpower, or a technical skill... whatever it is, we have to have at least one specialty.
Only then can we become successful, return home in glory, and bring honor to our ancestors."
The three men excitedly fantasized about their future, and the motorcycle slowed down considerably. They wanted to wait for the jeeps to pick up the immortal and pass them.
What they didn’t know was that Gu Jiaojiao had heard every single word they said with perfect clarity.
’Only with a specialized skill can a person settle down, make a life for themselves, and support a family.
If someone is good for nothing, has no skills, and isn’t willing to work hard, then a life of suffering is all that awaits them.’
Gu Jiaojiao stood there alone, a smile playing on her lips. She really hadn’t been wrong about those three.
The jeeps drew closer, and Gu Jiaojiao could hear the conversation inside them just as clearly.
There were a dozen or so men dressed in black in the jeeps, and they even had advanced walkie-talkies.
"All units, listen up. According to reliable intel, the target is still on Hualin Road."
"Copy that. Copy that."
"Boss, five sedans went by earlier, and a motorcycle just passed. Is it possible the target has already left?"
"Impossible. Those cars belonged to the Lin Family. The target would never leave with them."
"Boss, is the target male or female?"
"A woman."
"Heh heh, no wonder the boss didn’t stop that motorcycle."
Hearing this, Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but wonder, ’Should I hide in my dimensional space, or should I fight them head-on?’
Her Combat Power was through the roof right now. She could send a bull flying with a single punch, so she wasn’t afraid of taking on a dozen men bare-handed.
Her only fear was that they might be carrying special weapons.
But they hadn’t bothered to stop and check the Lin Family’s cars, nor had they stopped Wang Yuejin’s motorcycle.
’Does that mean they’ve had someone watching me from a distance this whole time?
If I just vanish into my space, won’t I expose its existence?’
Gu Jiaojiao had no time to hesitate. She gripped a dozen Golden Needles in her hands. In the instant she was lost in thought, the jeeps screeched to a halt right in front of her.
More than a dozen men in black jumped out, looking just like the professional assassins you see on TV.
Gu Jiaojiao watched them warily, a look that the men in black mistook for fear.
"Damn, she’s gorgeous," one of the men in black marveled.
"Boss, could the higher-ups have gotten it wrong?"
"Yeah, she looks like a student!"
Listening to his men chatter among themselves, the leader also began to feel uncertain. He lowered the gun in his right hand, letting it hang beside his leg.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of scaring the ethereal girl, but that on a subconscious level, he felt this was a case of using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Their organization had trained them since childhood to have hearts of stone. They had been forced to kill their closest childhood friends just to survive into adulthood.
These were men without compassion. Lowering his weapon was simply a display of contempt for his opponent.
The last time, Gu Jiaojiao had taken out two jeeps with Su Shuochi. She recognized the organization’s vehicles and attire.
She had observed them carefully just moments before. Only three of them held special weapons; the rest were armed with long knives.
The knives were no threat to her, so without wasting a single word, she raised her hand. WHOOSH—three Golden Needles shot through the air.
The Golden Needles flew from Gu Jiaojiao’s hand. Three soft THUDS echoed from different spots, but there were no cries of pain.
The three leaders of the group didn’t even make a sound before they crumpled to the ground. A perfect one-shot takedown for each.
Her Golden Needles were coated in a powerful anesthetic. The three who had fallen were the group’s leaders.
The remaining ten men were nothing to fear. Gu Jiaojiao shouted, "Hands up! Surrender, and I’ll let you live."
"Hmph! What kind of hero uses hidden weapons in a sneak attack?" one of the hot-tempered men in black yelled.
"Hero?" Gu Jiaojiao retorted with contempt. "Does scum like you even have the right to say that word?"
In a flash, she put her Golden Needles away, lunged forward, and snapped the hot-tempered man’s arm.
Blood sprayed across the ground.
"AAGH! My arm!" the hot-tempered man shrieked, a heart-rending cry of agony.
The pain was so intense he nearly passed out.
His entire arm was torn apart, bone from flesh. He trained constantly, had an eight-pack, and the strength of his body was like steel.
For a woman to have ripped his arm off with her bare hands... he simply couldn’t accept it.
The bloody, brutal reality ravaged his mind and body. It felt like he had been plunged into hell.
The remaining men in black were speechless.
’This delicate-looking girl just tore off an arm from one of their own, men who prided themselves on their bodies of steel...
This woman is terrifying!’
Gu Jiaojiao tossed the severed arm to the ground, her gaze sweeping over the remaining men in black as she let out a cold sneer.
"The last time I was ambushed, I made a vow. Anyone who dares to cross me again will pay this price!"
Snapped out of their stupor by Gu Jiaojiao’s words, the men in black raised their long knives and swarmed her, hacking wildly.
Gu Jiaojiao quickly planted her hands on the ground and launched her long legs into a sweeping kick aimed at their legs.
Their own attacks were so ferocious that they couldn’t pull back. Their long knives swung wildly, hacking into their comrades.
CLANG! CLANG! A cacophony of ringing steel filled the air.
In an instant, every one of the men in black was injured, while Gu Jiaojiao remained completely unscathed.
