Chapter 63 Trouble in the Club
At night, the streets of the city were bustling.
Qu Xiao clutched the shoulder strap of her bag tightly. Once again, she had no more leads on obtaining Nanjiang Blood Essence. It was difficult for Qu Xiao to hide the disappointment in her eyes. On the roadside leading to the parking lot, Qu Xiao heard a familiar voice coming from behind. She looked over and saw a thin man fighting with a brawny man who looked like a gangster from a distance. She could not see his facial features clearly.
A woman was hiding at the side, covering her mouth. Her eyes were filled with panic as she tried to stop the two of them from fighting. “Young Master Shang, stop fighting…” “Damn you! I don’t care if you are the young master of the Shang family or the head of the Shang family. No one can take her away…” “You damaged my car. You owe me an explanation!”
Hearing about the Shang family made Qu Xiao nervous. She slowly approached him, but her eyes were wide open as she called out, “Shang Xinchen?”
Shang Xinchen raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Qu Xiao in surprise and frowned as he asked, “What are you doing here?” Qu Xiao immediately looked around carefully for people hiding in the bushes. There were often paparazzi who stayed up all night. If they caught Shang Xinchen beating someone up, it might negatively affect Shang Yan and Shang Group.
Thinking of this, Qu Xiao winked at Shang Xinchen, signalling for him to shut up, and took the initiative to walk to the front of the gangster.
“It was wrong for him to get violent. Do you want to settle the matter of your damaged car through insurance, or privately?”
Qu Xiao was very gentle. The hooligan looked at her suspiciously, his eyeballs rolling as he calculated how much to ask for.
Shang Xinchen frowned and pushed Qu Xiao away. “What I do has nothing to do with you. Don’t butt in!”

Qu Xiao narrowed her beautiful eyes in anger. When she opened her mouth to speak again, the gangsters behind her licked their teeth and whistled, “Seems like you two are close! What happened today was because of a girl. Why don’t you take her away and leave this girl behind for us!”
“You look like you would be nice to sleep with.”
“How? We will definitely treat you well!”
The gangsters walked in front of Qu Xiao. They revealed their true natures and touched Qu Xiao’s face in a flirtatious manner.
Since Qu Xiao was Shang Yan’s wife, Shang Xinchen could not help but clench his fists and swing at them. However, Qu Xiao stopped him.
“If that’s so, then I’ll go with you guys…” The gangsters were all very muscular. If Shang Xinchen and Qu Xiao fought with them, they would definitely be the ones who got hurt. Qu Xiao pretended to compromise and walked towards the gangsters. She immediately turned around and winked at Shang Xinchen. Taking advantage of the moment when the gangsters’ guards were down, Qu Xiao suddenly bent down to pick up the gravel on the ground and threw it at the gangster’s eyes.
The gangster cried out in pain. Qu Xiao hurriedly pulled Shang Xinchen’s arm and growled, “What are you looking at? Run!”
In the darkness of the night, the two of them tried their best to escape, but Qu Xiao did not have a strong enough stamina. After running for a few hundred meters, she slowed down, panting and exhausted.
The gangster behind them chased after them. He held a club in his hand as he shouted and cursed, “Bitch! Don’t let me catch you. How dare you injure me? Get ready for what I am going to do to you! I’m going to break your legs! Try escaping then…”
Qu Xiao’s face was pale, and her lips were dry as she panted.
She hid with Shang Xinchen in a hidden alley, her hands propping her knees as she tried to calm her breathing.
“There’s definitely no way we can both escape.”
“Later, I’ll run out to distract them. You run away from the other side!” Hearing that she wanted to give him a chance to escape, Shang Xinchen frowned, and a hint of worry and conflict flashed across his eyes as he said coldly, “This is my problem. There’s no need for you to settle it for me! Don’t pretend to be kind. I won’t thank you.”
When Qu Xiao saw that his face was sixty percent similar to Shang Yan’s, she resisted the urge to give him two slaps. She was so angry that her heart was beating wildly.
The gangster’s footsteps gradually approached. She said in a soft voice, “If I try to escape, I won’t even be able to run far.”
“You’re the one who they want. Even if I’m caught by them, I can still think of a way to deal with them! Stop talking, or neither of us will be able to escape!”
Qu Xiao analyzed the current situation rationally. Looking at Shang Xinchen who was still standing in the same spot, she was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked his knee as she shouted, “Go!”
The gangster heard Qu Xiao’s shout and immediately called for his brothers to chase after them.
Shang Xinchen frowned and took a serious look at Qu Xiao. Then, he gritted his teeth and ran towards the other end of the alley.
