Tan Ming swallowed her saliva and looked at the man who had already stabilized himself in the dark. As she put on a defensive stance, she asked, “Brother, you…”
“Can you support me here?” Before she could finish her question, Zou Bai was already entangled with the bald man. Tan Ming was also smart. She quickly grabbed the man on her right and faced him head-on, swinging her stick at the other party’s face.
The man raised his steel rod to block it. Tan Ming took the opportunity to kick the man’s crotch. The man covered his crotch and knelt on the ground. He did not even have the strength to cry out in pain.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across the eyes of the remaining two people. After looking at each other, they planned to attack Tan Ming together.
At this moment, Zou Bai had already controlled the bald man. He pressed the dagger tightly against the man’s throat and used local language to negotiate with them.
When Tan Ming saw this, she hurriedly ran to her temporary ally and deliberately raised the steel pipe to press it tightly against the bald man’s chin.
The bald man glanced sideways at Tan Ming. He cursed Tan Ming in his heart for being so ruthless. He was already in this state. Was there a need to be so vigilant?
When they came, there were eight people. Now, five of them were either unconscious or seriously injured. The boss was held hostage, and the remaining two were also slightly injured.
Tan Ming did not know what the two of them talked about, but in the end, he agreed to let the two of them go.
Tan Ming got closer to Zou Bai and recognized him as the man he had met once in Sea City. However, now was not the time to reminisce about the past. She asked Zou Bai in a low voice, “Should we knock them out first?”
Tan Ming felt that it was better to be cautious in a foreign country. She was afraid that these people would go back on their word. After being free, they might want to fight them again. Zou Bai was very surprised when he heard Tan Ming’s words. It was rare to see a girl who did not leave any trouble behind. However, this was also what he wanted. “Alright.”
The two of them looked at each other. Zou Bai was in charge of stalling for time and diverting the other party’s attention. Tan Ming slowly approached the other two men. When she reached a suitable position, she suddenly hit one of them on the back of their neck.
While Zou Bai was dealing with the bald man, Tan Ming was fighting with the other person. Fortunately, there was still some pepper spray left to support her.
After seeing that everyone had hit the ground, Tan Ming was still worried. She hit everyone who had fainted earlier again with the stick to ensure that everyone was unconscious at the same time.
Seeing this, Zou Bai’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.
Zou Bai felt that he had regained a lot of strength. He walked slowly to the roadside with Tan Ming. “My name is Zou Bai.”
When Tan Ming heard Zou Bai’s self-introduction, she also said, “My name is Tan Ming.”
Seeing that the food she had thrown on the beach was still in its original place, Tan Ming hurriedly went forward to check. Other than two bags that were in paper bags and spilled out, most of the rest were intact.
Tan Ming tidied up her things and threw the dirty ones into the trash can. When she saw that there were still seven to eight bags in her hand, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Thankfully, they’re not all wasted.”
“Gulp.”
The atmosphere was a little tense. Tan Ming glanced at Zou Bai.
For the first time in his life, Zou Bai felt awkward. He coughed lightly.
Tan Ming did not think much of it. In this world, other than love and coughing that could not be concealed, there was also farting and hunger!
Tan Ming raised the bag of food in her hand and handed it over. However, when she saw the other party’s peach blossom eyes, she retracted her hand and took another bag of her favorite pastries. She smiled and recommended, “This pastry is more delicious. Try it?”
Zou Bai stared at Tan Ming with an inexplicable expression.
Seeing that Zou Bai did not take it, Tan Ming suddenly thought of the luxury car he had driven that day. “Although these are from roadside stalls, they taste especially good and are cheap! Anyway, there are no high-end restaurants here. You can eat them to fill your stomach first.”
Zou Bai pursed his lips and took the pastry. He looked at Tan Ming and said, “Thank you for everything that happened today.”
Tan Ming waved her hand in a forthright manner. “Don’t stand on ceremony. It’s just convenient to lend a hand when meeting fellow countrymen in a foreign country.”
Just as they reached the roadside, a few black cars stopped beside the two of them.
“Boss!”
Zou Yi and Zou Er rushed out of the car with their men. They saw that Zou Bai’s mouth was a little bruised and his clothes were a little wrinkled. Although he was in a sorry state, he was not injured. Only then did they feel completely relieved.
The two of them lowered their heads slightly and looked at each other. Zou Er felt that Tan Ming looked familiar, while Zou Yi wondered why a woman would appear when Zou Bai was drugged and not surrounded. Could it be that the other party was changing their plan to a honey trap?
Zou Bai looked at Tan Ming and suggested, “It’s not easy to get a taxi nearby. I’ll send you back.”
It was already past ten o’clock. Tan Ming didn’t hesitate and agreed directly. “Then 1 won’t stand on ceremony. I’m staying at the Hai Wei Hotel.”
Zou Bai chuckled.. “You trust me so much? Aren’t you afraid that you saved a bad person?”
