Guan Yunjin couldn't help but feel lucky that he had invited me here. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a gathering of big shots, and we wouldn't be able to lay the foundation for the Guan family's future.
"Big brother, you're really wise. The future of our Guan family depends on you." Guan Simei walked over and praised him.
Actually, yesterday, they were still wondering if they should invite me or not. According to the customs, I didn't need to be present before the wedding. However, the situation was special, so they could only do it differently. Now, they realized that it was a very wise decision!
Not long after, the people finished paying their respects. Guan Yunjin made another speech and announced the end of the memorial service. Next, it was time to send the body to be cremated. In order to maintain the normal traffic order, the Guan family only sent their relatives along. This kind of happy occasion usually had a gift in return. The Guan family had also prepared in advance. Not only the guests, but also the passersby outside the door received a gift box made of towels and soap.
After the guests greeted each other, they prepared to leave.
Suddenly, I felt a familiar sense of danger. Subconsciously, I looked around. Although the surroundings were noisy, my hearing was very sharp. I faintly heard a sizzling sound. Moreover, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Not good. My heart thumped when I noticed this abnormality. Coincidentally, this direction was the exit of the alley.
At this moment, the Xu family's Hongqi car slowly drove towards the entrance of the alley. The three people in the car had no idea about the impending danger.
"Xiao Rou, are you interested in that Zhuang boy?" Xu Lao suddenly asked.
"Ah?
Grandpa, what are you talking about? "Xu Jiaorou blushed and pouted.
"I knew you wouldn't admit it. However, when the Guan family's daughter jumped into his arms, you showed an envious expression. Don't think that this old man's eyes are blurred because of his old age. I can still notice this little detail," Xu Lao teased.
Xu Jiaorou was already shy. After hearing this, she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
"Grandpa, it's not what you think. I really envy the Guan family's daughter. She can meet such a legendary man. She has no regrets in her life!" Xu Jiaorou shook her head and explained softly.
"Haha, in the end, isn't it the same?" Elder Xu laughed.
"Xiao Rou, that kid is indeed outstanding, but if you have a good impression of him, you can also fight for him. After all, our Xu family's background is not inferior to any girl," the middle-aged man in the driver's seat suggested.
"Third Uncle, you only know how to make fun of me. Talking about marriage is still far from me," Xu Jiaorou said in a bad mood.
"Stop!" At that moment, a familiar voice came from the back of the car.
Xu San's uncle did not hesitate and immediately braked. Even so, it was still too late. The car's tires had already passed a certain line.
"Zhi zhi."
The seemingly ordinary car on the side began to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye. In about a few seconds, a burning aura spread out.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion spread out, followed by a sky full of fire and dust. Originally, there were a lot of cars parked on the left and right sides of this old alley. After the car exploded, the other cars were more or less affected. It looked like a chain of explosions. Moreover, the old houses weren't very sturdy, so it looked like an earthquake had happened and it could collapse at any time.
Actually, I surged my strength, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't stop the car from moving forward. At that moment, I surged my whole body's aura to protect the Hongqi car.
However, the impact was too strong. Twenty to thirty percent of the aftershock passed through the body of the car and affected the three people in the car. Fortunately, the Hongqi car had extremely high safety performance. The airbag popped up in an instant and played a very good shock absorption effect. They received about one-tenth of the impact, which was also the limit that ordinary people could bear.
Without any hesitation, I dashed over and rescued the three of them. We quickly left the scene.
Although I couldn't be completely at ease with the Guan family's courtyard, Guan Ruolan was a Dark Jing martial artist. Her ability to protect herself was more than enough. Moreover, they were dozens of meters away, so they had enough time to react.
Two minutes later, I brought them to a relatively safe place. Looking at their frightened expressions, I realized that this wasn't a dream.
It fucking exploded again!
Compared to the bombs that were planted before, this time it was a chain explosion. In the narrow alley, there were flashes of fire several meters high and thick smoke billowed. Although there weren't many casualties, the scene was like hell on earth. It was simply frightening.
"Puchi." My internal organs trembled, and my blood boiled. I spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Boss Zhuang, what's wrong?" Xu Jiaorou was startled and hurriedly pulled my arm.
Everything happened too fast, and I could only use my energy to save them. That scene was absolutely against the will of the heavens. If it was an iron wall, they would have died on the spot, let alone a car that was protected by a layer of earth energy. Since the distance was too close, the ear-splitting noise was beyond the endurance of ordinary people.
In a short time, I had formed a layer of aura to protect them. It seemed that the three of them were just a little embarrassed and temporarily uncomfortable, but there were no obvious injuries.
"Rourou, he must have been injured while trying to save us. Just now, when the car next to us exploded, the wall made of steel and water collapsed, but we are still intact. Have you ever wondered why?!"
Xu Lao coughed twice to calm himself down. He couldn't hide the gratefulness on his face. He really got his life back.
