Chapter 773: There’s Something In His Mouth. Quick, Stop Him!
Going from the bar street to the residential area where the Dou Family lived, they would pa.s.s by a relatively quiet and shady road in the middle of the journey. In particular, it was currently late at night and when the car was driving on the road, it was so quiet to the extent that there were no other cars.
Dou Yue’er who was seated in the backseat was still talking about the legends of Ian in the violin community and her excited appearance made the rest smile.
Just then, the car came to a sudden stop.
Screech—
“What happened?”
Dou Xiangling got a fright as she looked at the shadow that suddenly appeared in front of her. Dou Yunhao, who was sitting in the pa.s.senger’s seat, furrowed his brow and said to the rest, “Someone suddenly appeared in front of the car.”
He then unfastened his seatbelt and said, “I’ll go down and take a look.”
Even though the car had not b.u.mped into the man, he had collapsed on the ground the moment the car came to a stop.
Dou Xiangling said worriedly, “Big Brother, let me go with you.”
“Don’t worry, we have a black box in the car and if this person only fainted due to fright, we can send him to the hospital for a check-up. If they are thinking of staging an accident, we’ll call the police.”
He alighted from the car as soon as he said that.
The other Dou Family members stared at him as he went over to the man.
However, to everyone’s dismay, when Dou Yunhao was bending down, the man lying on the ground suddenly jumped up. The knife in his hand moved and the blade was held against Dou Yunhao’s neck.
“Ah!” Dou Yurui screamed with fear.
The expressions of the rest changed at the same time and Dou Yunhao said to Dou Yue’er, “Little Sis, remain inside the car and call the police immediately.”
The Dou Family was a scholarly family and the elders would often teach them to remain calm whenever they encountered a different or dangerous situation.
Dou Zerui, Dou Muyang, and Dou Xiangling quickly pushed open the car doors and alighted.
“Don’t come over, or else I’ll kill him! Also, you’re not to call the police!”
Dou Yue’er, who was sitting inside the car, was so scared that she randomly called a number.
Looking at the crazed expression of the man, Dou Zerui tried to speak to him in a calm voice. “Sir, we can talk things through peacefully. We’ll give you anything you want, as long as you don’t hurt him.”
“AH!” The man’s eyes were similar to that of someone who wanted destruction. “There’s nothing to discuss. Contact Zi Yi right now and get her to come over here alone. Otherwise, I will kill him.”
The Dou Family members got a fright.
Why did this man ask for their cousin to come?
Dou Yunhao who was held hostage had calmed down his breathing and looked for an opportunity to break free.
But at this moment, the knife held against his neck moved and Dou Yunhao felt his neck start stinging. Shortly after, warm liquid flowed out.
Dou Xiangling exclaimed. “Don’t hurt our Brother!”
Dou Muyang was so angry that his eyes were red and he very much wanted to rush up to the man.
Dou Zerui held him back and gave him a look before he said to the man, “Alright, we’ll make the call right now. Don’t hurt our Eldest Brother.”
He then took out his phone.
The man shouted angrily, “Get her to make the call.”
He looked at Dou Xiangling and said, “You had better think about what to say before making the call. If you dare say a single strange word, I’ll end his life.”
Dou Xiangling quickly took out her phone.
Just when she had dialed the number, a car suddenly drove over from the opposite direction.
The headlights from the car caused the man to be frightened and the knife in his hand moved.
The males from the Dou Family acted at the same time.
Dou Yunhao quickly grabbed the wrist of the man and the other two were about to run over.
Just then, the opposite car quickly stopped and after the sounds of the brakes were heard, two men quickly came over and easily suppressed the armed man.
The Dou Family members quickly rushed over and surrounded Dou Yunhao. “Big Brother, are you alright?”
“Big Brother, there’s a lot of blood on your neck.”
Dou Xiangling quickly took out her silk handkerchief and pressed it against Dou Yunhao’s neck.
Dou Yunhao took over the job and at the same time, he turned to look at the man who was constantly struggling and screaming as he was pinned to the ground.
“Let me go! Let go of me! I’m going to let Lu Jingye experience the pain of losing a family member!”
“AH-!”
The Dou Family members frowned at the same time.
Just then, a woman alighted from the opposite car.
All of them recognized her. She was Ouyang Hui.
Ouyang Hui walked over and asked, “Are you guys alright?”
They looked at Ouyang Hui and a strange feeling welled up their hearts.
They weren’t trying to be vigilant for no reason. However, the Ouyang Family and their cousin were at loggerheads and they were bound to do something sooner or later.
However, the Dou Family members did not reveal any of their thoughts.
Dou Xiangling was the one who answered, “Thank you for your help. My Big Brother was only slightly injured.”
She then looked at the man who was pinned on the ground and said with a solemn expression, “We’ll send this person to the police station.”
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Hui did not say anything contrary to their decision. “Then go ahead and call the police. Be careful when you travel at night in the future.”
She then turned around and headed back to her own car.
At the same time, a few cars descended from the skies.
The cars had soon surrounded the area and shortly after, a group of bodyguards alighted from the cars.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye walked over in large strides after they alighted.
“What happened?”
Immediately after Zi Yi asked that, the first thing she did was hand Dou Zerui a bottle of medicine. “Apply this for Big Brother.”
She then turned her gaze towards Ouyang Hui who was standing next to her car.
Ouyang Hui said with an indifferent expression, “I was only pa.s.sing by.”
She was about to return to her car after saying that.
However, her car was surrounded by Lu Jingye’s bodyguards and she could not move at all.
Ouyang Hui revealed an expression of displeasure but she did not say anything. She merely crossed her arms and looked at them coldly.
Dou Xiangling told Zi Yi about what had happened.
“Hmph!” Zi Yi snorted and was about to walk over.
However, Lu Jingye stopped her.
He said, “Stand further away. I’ll get the bodyguards to question him.”
He then held her waist and moved her further away.
Lu Jingye’s bodyguard was not polite at all as he gave the man a few kicks.
BAM!
The man’s pig-like scream echoed in the air as his bones were broken. “OWWW~”
The bodyguard asked, “Who sent you here?”
The man held the area where he had been kicked and rolled on the ground while screaming loudly, “I did this alone. I wanted to let Lu Jingye experience the feeling of losing someone close to him.”
The bodyguard glanced at Lu Jingye.
Lu Jingye gave him a nod.
The next second, another kick was delivered.
“Ugh…”
The Dou Family members had never seen Lu Jingye’s men taking care of others and as they listened to the sounds of bones breaking, they subconsciously took a step back.
However, not a single one stood out to say anything.
While the bodyguard was kicking the man, Zi Yi’s eyes were on Ouyang Hui.
Ouyang Hui merely crossed her arms and she looked at the scene coldly. She did not show any abnormalities.
Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, why don’t we hand him over to Yunxiao so that he can question him? He’s better at this.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head, took out his phone, and gave Lu Yunxiao a call.
While Lu Jingye was calling Lu Yunxiao, the man who was rolling on the ground and screaming in pain suddenly trembled and convulsed immediately afterwards.
Zi Yi immediately noticed something amiss. “There’s something in his mouth. Quick, stop him!”
The bodyguard was still one step too late. Even if he had quickly pried open the man’s mouth, he had still managed to swallow the poison.
