Legend Of The Golden Tigress

An enemy of the Lu family?

Li Xueman was shocked and she went pale as her throat was squeezed by that boss man.

"Hahaha, how is that?" Gao Lin sneered, "Looks like the Lu family has their own set of enemies too... Just because you all are aristocrats don't think you are all invincible! "

"Alright! With this new information, I've changed my mind. This entitled Princess of the Lu family deserves to be well treated by us lowly thugs..." the boss man sneered and signalled his men and they brought up a table and Xueman's heart stopped seeing the men bringing up ropes and knives. She felt entirely limp.

" Well... Mingxia... " the shrill and nasal voice of Weiye was heard from the floor as she slowly stood up. Her eyes looked more relieved and determined now.

"What are you going to do this time? You can't choke them all without even moving your fingers this time, right? Aren't we both equals this lifetime? Don't you like equality? In the end, the stronger one wins... This time I will win!"

With her reddened eyes shining with a demonic rage, Weiye walked towards Xueman and gave her a tight slap making the corners of her lips bleed.

" I want to watch you getting defeated and I want to see the soul leaving your body and love like a zombie... Just like I did my last life..."

Weiye pulled a chair and sat with her legs crossed.

The other men had finished their set up.

"Boss... Shall we start?" one of the thugs eyed at Xueman lecherously making her shiver.

No way! No way! What are they going to do?

Xueman didn't want to wait to see what's going to happen next and gathering the last bit of strength she has, kicked the boss between his legs as he grunted and crouched in the floor.

Without even looking back, Xueman ran towards the exit. Pretending to put it in her purse, she had let the car key slide through her skirt and fall on the sand after she locked the car, in case something went wrong. All she had to do is get to her car and she could escape.

She could hear a bunch of guns getting loaded and the men screaming profanities at her for attacking their boss.

But the boss told his men to stand down and not shoot her since he wanted to let the whole world see how the daughter-in-law of the Lu family is being treated like a piece of meat by a bunch of thugs and how she is loving it.

Xueman felt goosebumps in her skin hearing the vile language they were using but she didn't care for anything and just ran forward.

Just as she stepped out of the warehouse to the outside, she felt a strong hit by her leg and she fell on the ground. Her knees got scr.a.p.ed and her palm she used to break her fall, was stinging, her skirt tore a bit.

But she pushed herself forward and stood up and stumbled towards the car, with blood rolling through her legs from the wound on her knees, when the guards out of the warehouse all surrounded her with their guns. She wanted to push through them not caring about the guns in their hands but their perverted eyes made her freeze.

As she stood there, Gao Lin, with a smirk walked towards her. "Did you run enough, bunny?" he asked and grabbed her hair.

"Let me go!" Xueman tried to get out of his grip but his hold only got tighter. Weiye was still inside commanding them to bring her in.

Just then, everyone were stunned to hear a loud noise in the sky. Noise of zooming engines and rotating rotors and the shouts of men wearing military uniforms.

Loud noises of the helicopter, blazing guns and the shouts of men filled the place.

Xueman could see two men inside one of the helicopter with a rope ladder thrown down. One was wearing a suit and the other one was wearing casual clothes.

Lu Weisheng and Lu Yuanjun!

"Yuanjun!" she shouted with her entirety shrouded in joy and took a step forward as the coward who was holding her hair let go immediately as he saw those military men.

'He is safe! He is safe! I knew he'd be safe!'

She cried in joy even forgetting the tough situation she was in.

Just then, she felt a cold feeling in her temple and she didn't have to look to see what it was.

The cold muzzle of the gun sent shivers through her bones but she looked at the man in long black coat, now getting down through the rope ladder.

"Stay back... Or I'll shoot!" the boss shouted at Yuanjun but he didn't bother with him and jumped on the ground and the boss pointed his gun at Yuanjun, while still grabbing Xueman making her more scared as she realised Yuanjun is in danger.

"Let her go!" Yuanjun shouted, his authoritative voice overpowered the other heavy noises outside, even the helicopters' and the firing bullets. With his long black coat bellowing in the wind and his black sunglasses reflecting everything in front of him including Xueman, he walked straight towards them, with no reluctance or fear whatsoever.

Amidst the chaos, Yuanjun looked at the state Xueman was in and he could figure out what might have happened. His entire demeanour turned ruthless as he grabbed a handgun from his waist and pointed at Gao Lin who stood there frozen out of fright.

Bang!

With no hesitation whatsoever, Yuanjun pulled the trigger and the bullet hit Gao Lin in his manhood, assuring the end of him being a male anymore. Writhing in pain, he fell on the ground.

After that, Yuanjun's muzzle found it's target at the other man who tried to hurt his woman.

The boss who has made a living out of thieving and killing other people for the first time got scared and his hands shook. Not technically the first time, but the second time. The first was that sc.u.m Lu Weisheng. And now his brother?

He has heard that the Fourth Lu Young Master is a scholar who teaches history. If so, why is the one walking in front of him with the gun pointed at him, looks like a panther? A black panther, l.u.s.ting to sink his teeth in the jugular of his prey and drink its blood...?

"Let her go" Yuanjun shouted again and seeing the man in front of him trying to pull the trigger, he pulled his trigger first with no hesitation. The bullet hit right at his arm and the gun fell down.

Ahhh!

A scream was heard and Yuanjun looked to the side to see Rong Suyin who came out of the warehouse to take a look, running back inside.

A bullet hit right beside her feet making her freeze in the spot.

At that moment, Xueman felt a shadow pass beside her and felt a shiver pass through her spine seeing a metallic glint that shone on the sunlight. The boss man, ran towards Yuanjun who was now distracted as he was shooting at Rong Suyin with a knife in his hand.

"Yuanjun!"

Xueman cried and ran to catch the boss but she stumbled as both her knees were hurt.

Yuanjun realised the boss running towards him and before he could turn, a bullet passed right beside him and ended up hitting ghr boss man right in his c.h.e.s.t.

The suave man in a suit walked cooly to the man lying on the floor with a bullet hole in his c.h.e.s.t,

"Your father betrayed our country. I know, you wanted me to help him since we used to be friends and so I gracefully saved his life... and so he ended up in high security prison and not dead yet. But you weren't grateful and wanted to get back at me..."

Lu Weisheng walked towards that man and placed his leather shoe now layered with dust right over his wound and pressed hard not caring for his painful screams.

" I might be graceful towards a traitor of our country and save his life... But try and touch my family, especially a woman of our family..."

Another shot passed right between his eyes and he ended up dead immediately and blood started to pool around his head. Li Xueman was a bit shocked by how cold heartedly the first brother killed that man, but she had no sympathy for the man who died. And in face she felt overwhelmed with joy seeing his genuine affection towards her.

By then the other thugs have been handled by the soldiers and they all were arrested. Lu Weisheng nodded at Lu Yuanjun and

Xueman who was filled with mixed emotions of joy, surprise and relief looked at Yuanjun.

Seeing his woman looking at him like a bewitched teenager, all his anger and guilt he felt for not protecting her properly, went away. And he got worried seeing her battered look.

He had informed his first brother of him going to this warehouse and his brother offered to come with him too. He tried to refuse but then he knew his brother won't give up and gave him the address..

Yuanjun thought his brother would come in a car, like a normal person, but Who'd have thought that he, as the minister, could take a military helicopter? Can he use military helicopters for private affairs?

Maybe? Maybe... Not..?

Who cares!

It was his brother and the soldiers who helped him when his car was being rammed by those trucks, obviously trying to kill him. And now these helicopters came in handy since the road had a big blockage.

Xueman was too stunned to move as she took a good look at Yuanjun.

How is a history professor a sharp shooter? How cool is he! With his black long coat and sunglasses, he really looks like a hero saving the damsel in distress. Wow!

Xueman was drooling.

"Are you okay, baby?" Yuanjun asked with his thin lips trembling out of worry and his long fingers were lifting his sunglasses as he looked closely at her.

'My goodness, he is handsome...!' she thought. For some reason the trauma of the difficult situation she was in just a moment ago went away seeing her man.

Xueman could not hold back. The moment she saw Yuanjun inside that helicopter, her stress was gone and now she was ecstatic.

Through her peripheral vision, she could see Weiye being cuffed and brought out of the warehouse. She seemed to stop in her tracks, stunned seeing Yuanjun there, without even a scratch.

Xueman walked straight to her, leaving Yuanjun who was trying to hug her, with his hands grabbing thin air.

'This idiot!'

He scolded her in his heart but his eyes betrayed the actual emotion he felt. It looked doting and delighted filled with love.

As his gaze followed Xueman, he felt another strong gaze on him and his lips pursed unconsciously as he saw Weiye.

' Why is this idiot still going to that vicious snake? '

Xueman could see Weiye shake dejected LY and Xueman turned to see Yuanjun's angered look and her lips curved up. Her mother who was brought out at that time pleaded with her to help her. She even cried that at her old age she won't survive prison and in account of her being her mother, she wanted Xueman to forgive her to show her filial piety.

Lu Weisheng who was takin care of the arrests looked at Xueman and seeing her cold and indifferent expression at her mother, he smiled in satisfaction and gestured the soldiers to take Rong Siyun away.

For Xueman to show her filial piety, she should have acted as a mother at least once in her life right? And for her struggles to being Xueman to this world.... Xueman has already paid with interest.

"Are you not going to plead with me?" Xueman smirked at Weiye and thr latter gritted her teeth.

How is that with or without her powers, Mingxia still wins? And why is my husband looks at her like she is his everything and looks at me like I am disgusting?

Why? Why do I lose everytime? Why can't I have one thing I want?

Xueman leaned near Weiye's ears, " I won, didn't I?" she scoffed as Weiye tried to struggle, but the soldiers gripped her hands hard and Xueman continued to whisper in Weiye's ears, in the Wind language.

"Chu Weiye... I'm not Mingxia. I'm her descendant though, but I'm not her. It's a fact. But guess what? Lu Junjie was my husband in my previous life too. What? Surprised? Didn't hear about me? Little Zai and Little Yue called me their 'mother' and Ah Xuan respected me. My name was Jiang Hanmi, the Pure Consort and I was sent to the Wind Kingdom from the Earth Kingdom as a means for peace between the two nations. And guess what? Just like Yuanjun protected me now in front of your eyes, he protected me in my past life too. You didn't even knew your husband loved me and stayed with only me for the rest of his life, didn't you? Lu junjie loved me deeply and protected me from even getting exposed to you even though you were in the cold palace.

You know, I've thought in my previous life that if only I met Junjie first and carried his children... But that didn't happen... But as you see... This life... I got him before you, Chu Weiye. I won, Chu Weiye! I won! Lu Yuanjun is mine and mine alone. "

Li Xueman said each word clear as a bell and she could see Weiye losing her sanity bit by bit realising how naive she has been till then.

Lu Yuanjun heard what she said and smiled in satisfaction.

She is not an idiot!

" I knew you'd be fine, Yuanjun my love"

Xueman said and walked towards Yuanjun now smiling at her with satisfaction. Finally this bleeding heart idiot learned her lesson.

Blood doesn't make family, all the time.

As she ended up in his warm embrace not minding Weiye screaming like a psychotic person behind her, she finally felt like she has found her family. And with that thought, she ended up blacking out.
