Chapter 366: Chapter 366
In the underground parking lot, Li Si and the others found Zone A but couldn’t locate Old Ji’s car. Su Meng glanced around in confusion, "I remember it clearly. We got off the car right here! How come both the car and the person disappeared?"
Bai Shasha, with a slightly better sense of direction than Li Si, vaguely remembered this spot too.
At this moment, Li Si started to feel worried. Something didn’t seem right.
She and Su Meng began looking around nervously, hoping nothing bad would happen.
The underground parking lot now felt eerily quiet, unlike the bustling shopping mall above.
All of a sudden, a white van sped toward them, its windows covered with black tinted film.
The three immediately sensed trouble. Li Si shouted urgently, "Run quickly!" While yelling, she followed Su Meng and Bai Shasha, bolting toward the corner.
Su Meng dropped the bag she was holding without hesitation—escaping was the priority!
But it was already too late. The ear-piercing screech of brakes came from behind them. The van stopped abruptly, and two masked men jumped out swiftly, heading straight for Li Si.
After a few short steps, they caught up. Bai Shasha struggled desperately, while Su Meng trembled uncontrollably; she wanted to fight back but found herself paralyzed with fear.
Li Si seized the chance to pull out an electric stun baton from her belongings, ready to fight for her life.
At the critical moment, a man wearing a black suit suddenly dashed out from behind a nearby pillar. Li Si initially thought he was coming for her, her heartbeat racing, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. If this man turned out to be one of them, she was in serious danger.

However, without hesitation, the man launched a flying kick straight at the faces of the two attackers.
"Ah!" One of the masked men fell to the ground, grimacing in pain and shouting profanities, "F*ck you!" He struggled to stand and tried to regroup with his accomplice, only to be beaten relentlessly by the suited man, ending up sprawled on the floor.
Li Si cautiously observed the man in front of her, whose cold demeanor gave off an intimidating aura. Still, he didn’t seem like a bad person—especially since his face bore a few youthful acne marks, diminishing any sense of fear.
Despite his sudden appearance, she couldn’t determine his true intentions, so she continued to grip the stun baton tightly, just in case.
When the man noticed her wariness, he scratched his head awkwardly and smiled, "Mrs. Leng, I was sent by Mr. Leng to protect you!"
His smile seemed honest, even endearing.
Even so, Li Si remained skeptical. What if he was lying? What if he struck when she let her guard down?
"Alright! Go handle this right now—there should still be people in the van. Gather everyone together and wait for the police to deal with them!"
"Got it!" The man immediately headed toward the white van.
Li Si didn’t have time to think about anything else. The van’s driver was definitely involved; she just didn’t know if there were any more accomplices inside.
The driver, stunned by the scene unfolding before him, couldn’t believe his eyes. Two muscular men had been taken down by a single guy!
This job was too lucrative to abandon now! The payoff was massive, and completing this would mark his retirement. He couldn’t believe some young punk could be a problem for him. Although the boss instructed them to only capture the pregnant woman, taking those two beauties along wouldn’t hurt.
Revving the engine, he aimed the vehicle at the man charging toward him, intending to run him over—cripple him at the very least—so he could take the women without interference.
Unfazed, the suited man leaped onto the van’s roof with incredible agility. Li Si and the others, hiding at the side, could only watch dumbfounded—this was like a scene out of an action movie.
"Oh my God!" Bai Shasha gasped quietly, regretting not having the chance to record such an amazing moment—so cool!
Li Si exhaled in relief, her priority being the safety of her baby. The vigorous running had left a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. Finally, Bai Shasha and Su Meng expressed their concern, asking, "Li Si, are you okay?"
"I was scared to death!"
Li Si shook her head, "I’m fine! But let’s leave here quickly!" Even though the suited man was still fighting the van driver, this was not a place to linger.
Breathing heavily, the three quickly left the scene. Li Si tucked the stun baton back into her bag and hurriedly led Bai Shasha and Su Meng away. She didn’t know if the surveillance cameras were still functional—there were too many immediate issues to address. She trusted Leng Mochen and his team to handle the aftermath.
Finally reaching the mall’s first floor, surrounded by the hustle and bustle once again, the three women felt as though they’d returned to the world of the living after a near-death experience.
Had the suited man not intervened, what dire fate would have awaited them?
Li Si immediately called Leng Mochen to report their safety. Bai Shasha dialed the police, while Su Meng notified mall security. If the police arrived quickly, those three perpetrators wouldn’t be able to escape the parking lot.
When Leng Mochen answered Li Si’s call, his heart almost stopped from the shock.
He quickly reassured her, contacting Heizi and Long Wu to gather Jiang Feng and rush to the shopping mall at full speed.
He deeply regretted attending the stupid meeting instead of staying. Thankfully, his man showed up in time to protect them—what if something had gone wrong? Just imagining the consequences made his scalp tingle.
Leng Mohao’s menacing moves and Zhou Rou’s recent appearance made him wonder who was behind this incident.
Upon arriving, he found Li Si and her friends on the mall’s first floor.
Seeing Li Si safe and sound, albeit pale-faced, finally eased the crushing weight on his chest. He immediately embraced her. "It’s over! Don’t be scared! I’m here now!"
Li Si felt a profound sense of comfort in Leng Mochen’s embrace and quietly recounted what had happened, lavishly praising the suited man’s intervention and acknowledging how the stun baton she retrieved had mattered. Leng Mochen nodded thoughtfully, softly reassuring her that he would handle everything.
He then assigned Jiang Feng to investigate the mall’s surveillance cameras preemptively before the police arrived.
When Heizi arrived, he swiftly sealed off the area and organized operations. The three perpetrators were taken to the police station.
Long Wu and Xu Er arrived one after another, each comforting their girlfriends.
The investigation revealed that the parking lot security guard had been knocked unconscious, and all surveillance cameras had been disabled. Heizi gravely concluded that this was a premeditated, organized crime.
Old Ji and his car were found in Zone C. He recounted that as he walked toward his car with shopping bags, he was struck from behind and remembered nothing afterward.
Heizi arranged for forensic collection of fingerprints and other evidence from the van.
At the police station, Su Meng and Bai Shasha clung tightly to Li Si’s hands, unwilling to let go—the incident grew scarier the more they dwelled on it.
Without the man Leng Mochen had dispatched, who knew where they might have ended up?
They felt the weight of surviving such a close call.
Heizi meticulously questioned them about the events and shared their relief, while pondering the mastermind behind the attack.
Could it be Leng Mohao? Had he become so desperate as to lash out at Leng Mochen? Or someone else entirely? Everyone with grudges or conflicts with them would be investigated.
Following Heizi’s instructions, they completed their statements and left. Before departing, his team also returned the shopping bag found at the parking lot to the women. (To be continued.
