"I understand. So tell your people to stay far away from my turf, or if I catch one, I’ll nab one, and I definitely won’t show any leniency or bend the law," Gu Xiaoxi said expressionlessly.

"Hehe, of course!" Su San said with a smile.

After lunch, Su San personally drove Gu Xiaoxi towards the airport.

On the road, Su San drove while Gu Xiaoxi took a nap; she hadn’t closed her eyes for over twenty hours due to rushing over.

She had obtained the gold cup, though the process was somewhat perilous, and she felt utterly exhausted.

Through the rearview mirror, Su San looked at the slender figure leaning against the seat and found an unspeakable beauty in her; he almost forgot she was a girl.

So, subconsciously, he drove more smoothly to let her sleep more peacefully.

The streets of Texas were spacious, and the buildings on either side had distinct character. The golden sunlight shone on the structures, making the stark white houses look as beautiful as a picture.

The car gradually left the bustling city behind. On the way to the airport, there was a stretch of road surrounded by beautiful forests, with few houses on either side and a very pleasant environment.

Su San drove slowly and carefully.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted; the car window behind Gu Xiaoxi shattered, sending shards flying and scraping painfully against the skin.

In the moment of danger, Gu Xiaoxi woke up almost reflexively, dodged the glass fragments, and then found a safe position to look behind.

Behind them, six black sedans were rapidly chasing after them.

"Xiao Xi, are you alright?" Su San also saw the cars behind them through the rearview mirror.

They were closing in aggressively with bad intentions.

"I’m fine. They have weapons. What should we do?" Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes dangerously; she could guess, more or less, who was trying to ambush them.

"There are weapons under the seat behind you. Take them out," Su San pressed on the accelerator to increase speed.

Originally, they had planned to settle scores with Korte, but unexpectedly, their enemies had taken the initiative to come to their doorstep.

Amidst the encirclement of six cars, one took the center position.

Korte sat in the driver’s seat, holding a glittering knife, and said menacingly, "Kill that shorty and the one named Su."

"Yes, boss!"

As the notorious leader of Black First Path in Texas, Korte was naturally not to be trifled with.

Since Gu Xiaoxi had dared to step on his head and take first place, she had to be prepared for retaliation.

At that moment, Gu Xiaoxi gripped the weapon in her hand tightly, and a deep killing intent began to seep into her eyes.

These people were really out of control; if she didn’t teach them a harsh lesson, they’d think she was easy to bully.

Su San immediately took out his cell phone to call for backup.

After all, it was just the two of them, and considering the opposing side’s posture, there were at least twenty people, all armed to the teeth and well-prepared.

Gu Xiaoxi never hesitated while Su San drove and made calls.

As she held her weapon tight, Su San heard a loud bang, and through the rearview mirror, he could see the front tire of Korte’s leading car burst.

Instantly, the car skidded and hurtled towards the side of the road.

Finally, the driver managed to control the direction, and the car came to a halt before hitting the guardrail.

Enraged by this, Korte shouted, "Charge at them, surround them. Capture Xiao Xi for me."

With so many of them being race car drivers, it would be a disgrace if they let Su San and Gu Xiaoxi escape.

"No, they’re moving too fast. Xiao Xi, get ready. Take all the weapons in the car. We’ll go into the woods; we’re too exposed here, and they have too many people," Su San said to Gu Xiaoxi in a grave tone as he hung up the phone.

"It is indeed troublesome. Drive faster and stop at the entrance to the deep forest up ahead," Gu Xiaoxi surveyed the terrain. There were many people on this road, but when such an incident occurred, everyone avoided it from a distance.

Moreover, Korte was not someone that common people could handle.

Su San floored the gas pedal, the car sped away, and he stopped at a nearby intersection.

By the time Korte and his men caught up, the only thing next to the road was an empty car.

"Boss, they ran off from here," a subordinate saw a set of footprints.

"What are you waiting for, chase them!" Korte glared with copper bell-like eyes, his tattooed arms full of explosive muscles.

No matter what, Gu Xiaoxi had stolen his trophy, causing him to lose face utterly. Not only did he fail to get the prize money, but he also lost all his bets, and now he was utterly bankrupt.

This kind of grudge, this kind of hatred, if he didn’t seek revenge, what was the point of living!

Gu Xiaoxi and Su San were both hiding in the forest, one a world-renowned assassin, the other a master with Inner Strength and exceptional skills. Even with many people by his side, Korte had no way to deal with them.

A team of more than twenty people entered the mountainous woods and began an intensive search.

Gu Xiaoxi sat atop a large tree, watching a group of people walk past her...

Honestly, she really didn’t think much of these shrimps.

She, such a big living person, sitting atop their heads on a large tree, and they couldn’t see her?

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head, then suddenly jumped down from the tree and thrust her knife directly toward Korte’s neck.

Her movement was extremely fast, Korte felt a chill on his neck, and a knife was already against it.

At the same time, Gu Xiaoxi’s voice rang beside his ear, "Don’t move, make your people back off. Otherwise, I won’t be polite."

Korte felt a chill in his heart, he hadn’t expected Mr. Xiao X to seem so fragile yet react so quickly.

Even though he was a whole head and neck taller than her, her dagger on his neck didn’t feel out of place, and he even felt a burning pain there and smelled the faint scent of blood.

"Let go of me. Otherwise, you’re dead too," Korte growled through clenched teeth, seething with anger.

"You should understand that your life is in my hands now. Or try and see, whose hand is faster, your subordinates’ or mine," Gu Xiaoxi said coldly from behind him. The moment he dared to move, she could instantly sever his throat.

She was never afraid of trouble.

At that moment, even though Korte’s subordinates were aiming their weapons at Gu Xiaoxi, they didn’t dare to act rashly for a while.

Korte was extremely vexed.

He had no way to deal with Gu Xiaoxi at that moment.

"All of you back off! Don’t make any rash moves," Korte commanded his subordinates darkly, his face fierce.

His more than twenty subordinates exchanged glances, then quickly retreated to the outer perimeter of the woods.

At Gu Xiaoxi’s insistence, Korte’s men retreated to where he could not see them.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out in the woods. This was followed by countless others, accompanied by screams of agony.

Only then did Korte understand that Gu Xiaoxi had lured his men to an unseen area for an ambush.

Su San must have been lying in wait there already.

"Mr. Xiao X, don’t go too far," Korte said, clenching his fists, his eyes bloodshot and chest heaving with rage, wishing he could tear Gu Xiaoxi to shreds, dismember her body a thousand times over.

"How am I going overboard? Just now, you were taking potshots at me from behind. If I hadn’t dodged quickly, my head would probably be blossomed by now.

I’m sticking to my principle; if nobody offends me, I offend nobody.

But if you dare to bully me, I will not be merciful," Gu Xiaoxi snorted coldly.

Besides, their plot against Lu Xi was already unforgivable.

On hearing this, Korte had a bad premonition. He saw his chance and counterattacked Gu Xiaoxi.

But Gu Xiaoxi would not give him any opportunity, with a Grasping technique, she swiftly brought Korte down, pinning him to the ground, rendering him unable to move.

Korte’s head was pressed into the ground, his nose filled with dust, and his heart filled with shock.

Clearly, he was twice Gu Xiaoxi’s size in both height and build, yet he was pressed to the ground by her, unable to move an inch?

Such terrifying strength!

By this time, Su San had already taken care of Korte’s subordinates and walked back with large strides.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi pinning Korte to the ground, he couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, admiringly saying, "Too violent, you don’t seem like a girl at all. If you’re like this in front of men, I suppose it would be hard for you to get married."

Korte, upon hearing this, was not only shocked but also in disbelief. "You’re a woman!"

Gu Xiaoxi replied with a chilling sneer, "So what if I am a woman? You still lost to me."

Then, she turned to Su San and said, "He’s all yours. It’s getting late, and I need to catch a flight."

"Don’t you need a ride? Take my car! Someone will come to pick me up," Su San quickly offered.

Gu Xiaoxi waved her hand and smiled, "I’ll take a cab. You keep the car and leave quickly. The police might come soon."

After all, the firefight had been witnessed by bystanders, and if the police arrived, it would be a big trouble.

Watching the receding silhouette of Gu Xiaoxi, Su San felt a twinge of reluctance in his heart.
