Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want - Chapter 1057
Chapter 1057: At the Speed of Life and Death
Yang Jin gave the maid’s number to the other party before hanging up.
He was not afraid that the man would not follow through on his orders because Gu worms were in his body; they were the best form of insurance for a man like him.
The oppressive heat woke Long Xiao. She felt incredibly hot as if she were in a sauna.
Yang Jin stared down at Long Xiao. Her half-lidded eyes were wet with unshed tears, clinging to her quivering eyelashes and giving one a sense of her discomfort. Yang Jin licked his lips and threw his phone to the side as he leaned forward, planting a kiss on her lips.

In the hotel…
Qin Shu sorted out the evidence she had collected and presented it to Long Size when he woke up.
Although the evidence was not conclusive, it was enough to plant the seeds of doubt in Long Size’s mind. As a man of considerable influence and power, he had faced great storms and waves, much like the ancient emperors of yore. The more powerful a person was, the more cautious they would be.
Upon reviewing the evidence, suspicion would bud in his mind. When the time was ripe, Qin Shu had every intention of harvesting the fruits of her labour, offering Long Size more damning evidence to sway his opinion.
Just then, she received a phone call from Ye Yu. “Young Madam, Ye Fu called. He found Sir Four, but the Young Master was unwilling to leave with them. Ye Fu is currently fighting the villa’s guards. Please give us your orders.”
Qin Shu discarded her current plans and the evidence in her hands upon hearing this. “Send me the address,” she said.
“Yes, Young Madam,” Ye Yu answered, sending the address to Qin Shu’s email.
Qin Shu read the email, memorising the exact location and prepared to head out.
Xiao Jiu, who was in the midst of a game with Long Muyan, noticed his mother preparing to go out. He hurried to her side with President Ba in his arms, asking, “Mommy, where are you going?”
Qin Shu heard her son call her and stopped. She placed her hand on his head and said, “Mommy is going to fetch Daddy. You wait at home. Mommy will bring Daddy back very soon.”
“Mommy, take me with you. I won’t cause any trouble. I’ll be good and stay in the car; I promise!” Xiao Jiu begged as he met his mother’s warm gaze.
Qin Shu regarded her son with conflicting thoughts. Xiao Jiu was smarter than other children his age and knew the importance of discretion. He, like her, knew how important this matter was. Hence, despite her misgivings, she acceded to his request, “Alright. We’ll go together.”
Xiao Jiu puffed out his chubby pink cheeks happily. He looked very cute. “Mommy’s the best. I promise I won’t cause any trouble.”
Qin Shu turned to Ye Luo, standing at the side and instructed, “You be careful.”
Ye Luo nodded. “I will, Madam Fu.”
Only then did Qin Shu leave with Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu hugged President Ba, doing his best to keep in step with his mother’s larger strides. He would not slow her down; he had promised to be good!
He hopped into the car as quickly as his short legs would allow, placed President Ba on his lap and fastened his seatbelt. Safety was important even if they were in a rush.
Qin Shu peered at the reflection in her rearview mirror. When she saw her son strapped in, she stepped on the accelerator, speeding off towards their destination.
The coordinates of the villa Ye Yu had sent her via email were somewhere in the suburbs. It would take forty minutes to drive there if she used the normal route. Thankfully, she knew of a shortcut to cut the travel time in half.
Qin Shu pushed her car to a speed ordinary citizens would not have dared attempt. It was the speed toeing the edge of life and death.
Without a certain degree of skill and a heavy dose of courage, one could easily find themselves in trouble.
Xiao Jiu sat in the back seat. He was relatively calm because he had ridden in a race car before. Many second-generation rich people gambled and rode luxury cars from a young age. His present circumstances were no different.
Qin Feng participated in a similar racing event in the past. At that time, Xiao Jiu was with him, and he had no choice but to allow the young boy to tag along.
When they got into the car, Qin Feng teased him, asking, “Are you scared?”
Xiao Jiu’s reply then was as calm as still water in a deep pond, “I’m not afraid. Just drive.”
“That’s the spirit! You’re as brave as your mother,” Qin Feng quipped, letting the matter drop.
Qin Feng was afraid of scaring Xiao Jiu, so he was particularly careful while driving. If not for his confidence in his skills, he would not have dared allow Xiao Jiu to sit in the front passenger seat.
Qin Feng’s heart raced in time with the roar of the engine. Worry was a stifling needle pricking his heart throughout the race. If anything happened to Xiao Jiu, Qin Shu would have his head!
Unlike Qin Feng, Xiao Jiu had the time of his life. When the race finally drew to a close, he grabbed Qin Feng by the arm and warbled excitedly, “Uncle, next time we bet on cars, you have to bring me along. It’s so exciting!”
Therefore, no matter how fast Qin Shu drove, Xiao Jiu was the epitome of calm. He even felt like his mother was not driving fast enough. His mother was driving an old, beaten horse cart compared to the race car he had ridden. The memory of the time spent drifting with Qin Feng in a race car. He missed the pleasure and excitement of drifting…
Unbeknownst to either of them, a sports car raced towards the villa at a breakneck speed.

Twenty minutes later…
Qin Shu stepped on the brakes, stopping outside the entrance to the villa. As she got out of the car, she reminded her son again, “Xiao Jiu, stay in the car. No matter who asks you to open the door, do not listen to them. Do you understand?”
Xiao Jiu did not want to worry his mother, so he promised, “I understand, mom. I will wait for you in the car.”
Qin Shu handed the car keys to her son. “Here are the car keys. After I leave, I want you to lock the doors.”
“I got it, Mom,” Xiao Jiu accepted the keys and waited for Qin Shu to get out of the car before locking the door.
Qin Shu got out of the car, shutting the door behind her.
Xiao Jiu locked the car door and hugged President Ba. He waited for his parents while he played with President Ba.
President Ba had not left the house for a long time. He thought he could go out and run with Qin Shu this time. He did not expect to be locked in the car with Xiao Jiu.
Qin Shu did not bring President Ba with her because she wanted to prevent accidents. Besides, President Ba was smart enough to keep Xiao Jiu safe.
Xiao Jiu stole a bag of dried fish from Ye Luo. Since he had nothing to do, he tore open the packaging and started feeding President Ba.
“…”
“President Ba, this is your favourite dried fish. I got you plenty of it this time!”
“Meow!” President Ba’s eyes lit up as he stared at the bag full of dried fish. It was the amount of dried fish he usually got in a week. It felt great to eat it all in one go today.
A chaotic brawl greeted Qin Shu as she entered the compound. She would have been hard-pressed to tell one person from another or distinguish friend from foe.
Fortunately, the Ye brothers’ uniforms were all black. They wore a matching set. Embroidered on their cuffs were dark clouds that set them apart from the villa’s guards.
Qin Shu’s eyesight was pretty good, so it did not take much effort for her to distinguish her people from the guards stationed in the villa.
Ye Qing and the others were all wounded, but they still held on.
The gap in strength was huge. To be able to hold on for so long was already very impressive.
Qin Shu immediately leapt into action, forgoing any other thoughts except those which would help them secure the fight.
Qin Shu’s speed and strength were unmatched by anyone present.
Although the enemy outnumbered them, all she needed was time, and they would eventually fall before her might.
Ye Qing nursed the swollen half of his face as his teammates covered for him. When he saw Qin Shu flying to their aid, he could not help but worry. “Young Madam Fu, why are you here alone?”
Ye Qing and the others did not know Qin Shu’s martial might, so they feared for her safety.
“Ye Luo’s at the hotel dealing with the others. The rest aren’t at liberty to join us right now. Don’t worry; I’m more than enough to handle this lot.”
As Qin Shu spoke, she kicked one of the Platinum-level guards away, causing him to smash into a pillar behind him. If the pillar were any thinner or less robust, it would have turned into rubble with that blow from Qin Shu.
No one thought that a weak-looking woman like Qin Shu would easily kick a Platinum-level fighter away, rendering them helpless.
Hence, they had not taken her seriously when she rushed in to aid her peers.
