Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Fight Sounds

Xiyang Food Factory’s accountant delivered the accounts and also brought Lin Chuxia 20,000 yuan.

This money, Lin Chuxia planned to give a part to the village chief to invest in the pig farm.

The village chief had said that once the chickens from the chicken farm were sold, the village would have the funds to manage the pig farm.

Now that some of the chickens from the chicken farm had been sold, since Lin Chuxia had promised the village chief, she naturally wouldn’t hold back when it came to money issues.

After approving all the accounts and signing her name, Lin Chuxia directly put the money into her space and left the office carrying an empty bag.

It got a bit late today; the factory’s staff had already clocked out and returned to their dormitories, making the yard lively.

Seeing Lin Chuxia, they all straightened up and greeted her solemnly.

Lin Chuxia considered herself not a strict boss, but seeing these young men and women’s respectful looks, she couldn’t help but reflect on whether she should relocate her office.

While thinking about this, she walked home.

She wasn’t used to riding a bicycle at night; the roads were uneven, and the street lights were dim, making cycling more dangerous.

Qin Family Village was essentially an urban village, a mere 20-minute walk that she took as exercise.

Yuan Bao followed behind her, sometimes sniffing under a big tree, other times turning around the base of a wall.

He was now an adult male dog, and his nature to mark his territory made him unwilling to miss any corner.

These days had been gloomy, with occasional rains, and the roads were full of mud.

Usually, at this time, there would be many people out for walks enjoying the cool air, but now no one wanted to come out.

Lin Chuxia had just passed a factory area when urgent footsteps and scolding voices came from an alley nearby, followed by sounds of a fight.

Yuan Bao immediately stopped, his ears perking up.

Lin Chuxia frowned slightly and softly called, "Yuan Bao, let’s go."

It’s better to mind less business than more, Lin Chuxia was not someone who liked to meddle, especially late at night where fights could hardly involve good people.

However, before she walked far, the footsteps in the alley grew closer, and soon a figure burst out of the alley.

Illuminated by a distant dim streetlight, Lin Chuxia recognized the person was actually wearing a police uniform, chased by three or four tall men.

"Mr. Chen?"

Lin Chuxia could see that the person in the police uniform was none other than Sun Hao’s wife, Chen Ping Mr. Chen.

Chen Ping looked somewhat disheveled at the moment, with messy hair and seeming to be injured.

Hearing her name called, she looked up to see Lin Chuxia, slightly startled, then discreetly shook her head at her.

The men behind had already caught up, surrounding her.

The sleazy man smirked, "Run, why don’t you? Aren’t you very capable? Didn’t you want to put me in a deadly situation? Come on, do you really think I’d be afraid just because you wear that uniform?"

"If you dare spoil brother’s good deeds, be ready to pay the price."

"Brother Hu, don’t waste words with her, I think this chick is quite spicy. We’ve played with so many women but never one in that uniform. Let’s just make an exception today."

Lin Chuxia stood in a shadow not far away, and hearing the man’s words, her pupils sharply constricted.

If it was just a few people physically assaulting a police officer, Lin Chuxia would think they were exceedingly bold.

But the current sentiment made her conclude that these people were definitely not just troublemakers but extremely vicious criminals.

No one would dare provoke the authority of the state public security unless they no longer wish to live or they know they have no way out.

Chen Ping probably realized that today her chances of luck were slim; her gaze swept across several men one by one.

She was looking for a weak spot to breakthrough.

At this moment, her physical strength was draining, and she was injured; a direct confrontation was impossible.

Most importantly, she saw Lin Chuxia not far away.

These men were no good; their attention was on her at this moment, and the consequences would be unimaginable once they discovered Lin Chuxia.

She needed to lure these men away quickly.

Soon, Chen Ping locked onto one of the four men who seemed frail; having fought with these men just now, he was the weakest and likely injured during the process.

Just as she charged towards the man, preparing to strike, a low voice rang out, "Don’t move, or I’ll shoot."

Chen Ping abruptly stopped in her tracks, stunned as she looked towards the man speaking, only to see him holding a dark air gun.

Such guns are mostly used for hunting, loaded with pellets, not to be underestimated in lethality.

Lin Chuxia was startled to see the man pull out a gun, but what truly tightens her heart were the words spoken by the man.

"Beauty, you’ve enjoyed the show enough; brothers have their moments of tender, merciful care, but today picking just one is tough, adding one more is just perfect."

Chen Ping realized they had discovered Lin Chuxia and couldn’t help but yell, "Mr. Lin, run..."

"Run? Are you testing whether your legs are faster or my gun?"

Seeing there was no escape and never intending to run in the first place, Lin Chuxia obediently raised her hands slowly stepping out from the shadows.

"Gentlemen, don’t be impulsive. I’m just passing by; I really don’t know anything..."

"Enough talk, come here."

The man with the gun jerked his head at her, while the other three men watched her with grinning faces.

"Hey, this chick is even better; brothers, we’re in luck today."

Seeing Lin Chuxia’s face, the men’s smiles grew even broader.

She looked terrified, slowly walking over while glancing at Yuan Bao by her side.

Little Yuanbao also hung his head low beside her legs, looking even more miserable than a stray dog.

Feeling his owner’s gaze, he looked up at her once before hanging his head low again with drooping eyes, appearing so aggrieved and timid it was pitiful.

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, doubting at this moment whether Yuan Bao was reliable at all.

However, the current situation didn’t allow Lin Chuxia to ponder more; having been with Yuan Bao for over half a year, she believed in his abilities.

Walking up next to Chen Ping, the two women, different in temperament, yet equally outstanding, made the men even more unrestrained and outspoken.

It was in this moment that Lin Chuxia, taking advantage of the men’s unpreparedness, suddenly pushed Chen Ping away from the muzzle and shouted, "Yuan Bao, attack!"

Yuan Bao’s aura also changed abruptly, like a lone wolf charging at its prey, rushed towards the man holding the gun, biting fiercely into his wrist.

"Ah..."

With the sudden turn of events, the man was caught off guard and screamed as the gun fell to the ground.

Lin Chuxia quickly pounced forward, grabbed the gun, and with a roll, she reached another man, using the gun’s butt as a weapon, harshly striking the man’s knee.

With a "thud," the man knelt on the ground.
