Chapter 19: A Top-Tier New Opportunity After School - Ambush!
The dim streetlights stretched the road in front of the school gate into a very long shape.
Lu Jingchen leaned against a sycamore tree by the roadside, glancing towards the school gate every now and then.
He clutched a brand-new phone box in his hand, as if it were a precious treasure.
The school bell had just rung for less than two minutes when a petite figure rushed out.
Lu Qingyuan spotted the person under the tree at a glance, and her eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs.
"elder brother!"
She came running over with her schoolbag on her back, panting heavily.
Her cheeks were flushed, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Lu Jingchen greeted her with a smile and helped her straighten her crooked backpack strap.
"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you, what's the rush?"
His tone was full of undisguised doting affection; the ultimate doting brother was online.
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite phone case from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Here, take it."
Lu Qingyuan took the box with a blank expression and casually opened the lid.
When they saw what was inside, their eyes widened instantly.
"This is... the latest top-of-the-line iPhone?"
She suddenly looked up at Lu Jingchen, her face full of disbelief.
The next second, she pushed the box back, her face full of heartache.
"Bro, this thing is too expensive! We still have rent to pay!"
"You should return it right away, my old phone still works!"
"There's no need to waste this money!"
Lu Jingchen smiled and ruffled her hair, then put the box back into her hand.
"Why would I want a refund? I've already bought it."
"You're my own sister, of course you should use the best."
"It's just a phone. It's no big deal. I'm not short of money."
Lu Qingyuan held the phone box, her eyes instantly reddening.
My nose tingled, and I was so moved that my voice choked with emotion.
"elder brother……"
"By the way, remember to go to the service center to get a new SIM card during your lunch break tomorrow."
Lu Jingchen smiled and gave instructions, not caring about the small amount of money at all.
After all, he casually put millions in cash into his storage ring, so what's a cell phone?
Lu Qingyuan nodded heavily, clutching the phone box to her chest like a precious treasure.
My fingertips gently caressed the smooth body of the device, and I couldn't put it down.
This was the first time in her life she had ever used such a good phone.
"Alright, let's go home."
Lu Jingchen naturally took the schoolbag from her shoulder and carried it in his own hands.
I took her hand and walked towards the rented apartment.
In the alleys of the old town, most of the streetlights were broken, leaving the area pitch black.
Only a few lights were on, their dim yellow light barely illuminating the path beneath our feet.
Lu Jingchen was leading Lu Qingyuan inside.
As soon as they rounded a bend, several dark figures suddenly darted out from in front of them.
The path behind them was instantly blocked, and they were caught in a pincer movement, with no way to escape.
Ah Hui, who was leading the group, had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and looked fierce.
He was followed by seven or eight henchmen, each carrying a steel pipe and a baseball bat.
It's obviously not a good product; it's just a cheap, conspicuous bag from a street hustler.
Lu Jingchen stopped abruptly and pulled Lu Qingyuan behind him.
Completely and thoroughly protected, his brows furrowed instantly.
"What do you want to do?"
His tone turned cold, tinged with impatience.
Ahui spat the smoke from his mouth onto the ground.
He crushed it with his foot, a contemptuous smile on his face.
"Kid, this is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, get lost."
"Don't meddle in other people's business, or you'll get a beating."
His gaze swept greedily over Lu Qingyuan behind Lu Jingchen.
His face wore a lewd, obscene grin that made anyone who saw it feel nauseous.
"The brothers are here to have a good chat about life with this little sister."
Lu Jingchen was so angry he laughed, a cold smile curving his lips.
"With just these few pieces of trash?"
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what kind of person you are?"
Ahui's face instantly darkened, like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.
"Damn it, you're asking for it, aren't you?"
He roared angrily at his henchmen.
"Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? I'll kill you first today!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the henchman at the front, carrying a steel pipe, charged over with a roar.
The steel pipe, carrying the wind, hurtled straight toward Lu Jingchen's head.
They looked like they wanted to smash someone's head open.
Lu Jingchen stood there, expressionless, without even lifting his eyelids.
He quickly made a hand seal in front of him with one hand, and a flash of light appeared at his fingertips.
An invisible ripple spread out instantly, blocking out the entire alleyway.
Forget about shouting for help, even if it exploded, you wouldn't hear a sound outside.
He flashed away, leaving only a blur in his wake.
The next second, he appeared directly in front of the henchmen who were rushing towards him.
So fast that it couldn't even be detected by the naked eye; it was a pure dimensional reduction attack.
Before his underling could react, Lu Jingchen reached out and grabbed his neck.
With a slight exertion of one arm, he lifted the person entirely into the air.
It's as easy as picking up a chick.
The younger brother kicked and thrashed about, his face instantly turning a deep liver color.
He made hoarse noises, trying to shout for help, but couldn't utter a single word.
"Cough... Let... Let me go..."
Lu Jingchen's gaze was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
Crimson spiritual fire instantly spread from his palm.
He coldly uttered a single word: "Die."
The flames instantly engulfed the younger brother's entire body.
In less than a breath, he turned into a pile of ashes.
The wind blew it away, and it was completely scattered.
Only the steel pipe in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
The entire alley fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
You could hear a pin drop clearly.
Ahui's eyes widened like copper bells, his pupils dilated, and he was so frightened he almost lost his soul.
"What... what is this?!"
He staggered backward, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"You... are you a human or a ghost?!"
The other henchman next to him completely broke down and let out a scream.
"A ghost! It's a ghost!"
He was so frightened that he threw down his weapon and turned to run for his life.
I hate that my parents didn't give me two more legs.
Lu Jingchen snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
"Trying to run? No way!"
He gently reached out and grabbed at his younger brother's retreating figure from a distance.
The henchman, who had been running incredibly fast, suddenly froze in mid-air.
It was as if an invisible rope had grabbed the back of his neck, and he was sent flying backwards.
It landed precisely in Lu Jingchen's hands.
Lu Jingchen spread his five fingers and placed them firmly on the top of his head.
He uttered a low, deep voice: "Soul Search!"
The younger brother's eyes rolled back instantly, and his whole body convulsed violently as if he had been electrocuted.
All the messes he'd made in his life, all his memories, played out like a movie.
All of these thoughts flooded into Lu Jingchen's mind.
A few seconds later, Lu Jingchen casually flicked his wrist.
My little brother collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, and died instantly.
Lu Jingchen's lips curled into a knowing, cold smile.
"So it was a dog that Zhao Tianyu kept."
He clenched his fists, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.
"Jiang Long, right?"
"Today I'm going to nip this in the bud, so you flies won't keep buzzing around all day."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed his palms forward sharply.
Several crimson fire dragons roared out from his palms in an instant.
They swept towards the remaining few underlings.
Those henchmen didn't even have time to scream.
It was instantly engulfed by the sea of fire, leaving not a trace.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
In the entire alley, only Ah Hui, who was lying paralyzed on the ground, remained.
His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.
He kowtowed frantically, like he was pounding garlic, until his forehead bled.
"Master, spare me! Deity, spare me!"
"I was forced into this! Jiang Long sent me! I don't want to die!"
Lu Jingchen looked at him, his face expressionless and unmoved.
"In your next life, be sure to open your eyes wider."
"Make sure you know who you can mess with and who you can't."
He flicked his fingertip lightly, and a spark flew out.
The arrow landed precisely on Ahui.
Instantly, a raging fire broke out, and Ahui was burned to ashes amidst his desperate cries.
Not even a trace was left.
The alleyway instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Only a few clumps of black ash remained on the ground, proving that something had just happened here.
Lu Jingchen casually withdrew his aura and turned to look behind him.
Lu Qingyuan pressed herself tightly against the cold wall, her face as white as paper.
He was completely bloodless and trembling uncontrollably.
His eyes were fixed on the black ash on the ground, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
Her voice was trembling so badly that her teeth were chattering.
"Brother...they...are they all dead?"
Seeing how frightened she was, Lu Jingchen felt a pang of anxiety.
He quickly tiptoed toward her.
He spoke very softly, afraid of frightening her again.
"Yuanyuan, don't be afraid, your brother is here."
As soon as he took a step forward, Lu Qingyuan subconsciously took a step back.
His eyes were filled with lingering fear and a hint of unfamiliarity.
It was like looking at a complete stranger; my eyes were filled with disbelief.
