My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 48: I Have Powerful Backers Too!

It’s 3 PM now, the weather is hot, the sunlight is scorching the ground, and there’s no one around.

Someone wearing a jacket in the sweltering heat is clearly not normal, and Li Rui is well aware of this, but he’s also puzzled.

Even those infamous secret realm agents wouldn’t dare to blatantly perform dangerous actions in broad daylight on the street.

As soon as a fight breaks out, it will alarm the highest levels of the local Superpower Division, meaning that if an extraordinary battle occurs here, Wu Mengying will find out immediately and organize to pursue, while Song Yao of the provincial branch will also be notified and begin a widespread hunt.

Against a national organization possessing extraordinary abilities like prophets and trackers, solo bad guys can’t possibly escape inland, so this person is probably not a desperate fugitive.

However, the aura emanating from the person was undeniable, so to be safe, Li Rui decided to make a direct escape.

The acceleration effect of the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture is strong, once activated, ordinary people can’t catch up, even Wu Sun is unable to match his speed.

Sizzle.

He twists his footsteps, ready to sprint backward, when he suddenly realizes the person in black had somehow already appeared on his escape route, just a meter away.

Silently and quickly.

An assassin?

Before Li Rui could figure it out, the person had already seized his shoulder.

The Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture had actually stopped functioning!

The gap between them was too vast; the person in front of him was at least level 30, maybe even higher.

Probably a breakthrough master or an assassin skilled in advanced professions.

"No need to worry, I mean no harm."

Saying this, the person reached out to control Li Rui’s arm, probably to prevent another escape attempt.

"What do you want?"

Li Rui forcefully broke free from their grasp.

The person evidently wanted not to cause too much commotion here, so after hesitating for a moment, compromised.

"Please come with me, someone wants to meet you."

"Who?"

"It’s your opportunity, come with me, and you’ll find out."

Li Rui glanced sideways at the understated yet high-end car.

"If you don’t tell, I won’t go."

"If you don’t go, I won’t tell."

"So there’s no deal, huh?"

Li Rui felt a bit annoyed, the person clearly needed something from him but acted all mysterious, yet domineering; anyone with a bit of temper wouldn’t follow.

He happened to be someone with a very strong temper.

The person in black obviously came with orders and wasn’t about to easily give up; veins bulged on their hands, seeming ready to use force.

Just then, a loud voice bellowed.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing!"

"Who are you! Let him go, or I’ll call the police!"

The gatekeeper, Uncle Niu, wearing slippers and shorts, holding a bamboo fan, donned only in a vest, looked like a savior in Li Rui’s eyes.

The black-clad individual, ordered to act discreetly, clearly found this situation very troublesome.

"Who are you!"

"Hmph. I’m your Uncle Niu!"

The old man didn’t know there was a group of people in the world with extraordinary powers, he stomped over in slippers, protecting Li Rui.

"What are you doing here?"

He had already taken out an old mobile phone, seemingly ready to call the police directly.

The man in black wore a pained expression; if the big shots that sent him found out, even if there weren’t consequences, their dignity would be dirtied.

He dropped his earlier coldness, squeezing out a stiff smile: "No, Uncle, let me explain, I just wanted to invite him for a chat about some part-time work."

Uncle Niu skeptically glanced at Li Rui: "What kind of part-time work are you doing?"

"Uh, gaming."

Li Rui considered this not quite a lie.

"Can you still make money playing games?" Uncle Niu felt like he couldn’t keep up with the times.

The man in black saw Li Rui had joined, quickly adding: "Yes, yes, Li, I’m just looking for you to discuss some boosting work."

Upon hearing this, Li Rui’s eyes lit up, recalling He Chengli.

Could there be other business? Is this person from the Hee family? It shouldn’t be; it felt like that fish fellow was quite polite, wouldn’t send such a haughty person over?

As he pondered, another car drove up beside them, stopping along the roadside.

"Brother Rui!"

Whatever he thought, He Chengli jumped out before the car even stopped, seeing the man in black with a jacket, he grew vigilant.

Li Rui lit up upon seeing him.

Heh, I know you have a big background, but I’ve got backing too.

Yet he didn’t expect another person stepping out from the later vehicle, dressed in a semi-sleeved chiffon skirt, appearing simple but exuding an extraordinary aura.

As the wife of the Hee family’s direct offspring, Yun Jiaying has seen quite a few grand scenes, with a glance already understanding the situation before her.

Seeing her own people arrive, Li Rui said: "Uncle Niu, there’s nothing going on here, I know them, you’d better go back, it’s hot outside."

He wanted to send the ordinary gatekeeper away to talk conveniently without involving unrelated people.

The old man skeptically glanced over them again and then walked away, still uncertain: "I’ll just sit in the sentry box, if anything happens I’m calling the police!"

Yun Jiaying smiled gently: "Don’t worry, Xiaorui is very close to me."

After the old man left, she turned to the man in black, "You look... like a guard of Huo Yun’s child? What business do you have?"

The man, knowing her, dared not be reckless and respectfully replied: "Madam, my employer wants to invite this young man back for a discussion."

Yun Jiaying calmly looked at Li Rui: "Would you like to go with them? Mr. Huo of the Huo family is a current Commissioner of the Baili Association."

"I don’t want to." Li Rui replied.

"You heard that? You can go."

Yun Jiaying, clearly shorter by a head, exuded a more formidable presence, completely different from her previous demeanor before Commissioner Hee.

The guard in a jacket looked grim, but knowing the task had failed.

A commissioner was one thing, a junior was another, appearing with Huo Yun’s guard indicated it wasn’t an order from the old Mr. Huo.

It also showed that Yun Jiaying was far from just indulgent to her son, she instantly recognized a junior’s guard so secured the advantage.

After the man drove away dejectedly, Li Rui expressed gratitude.

Yun Jiaying smiled: "You helped Chengli in Gu Xuan Town, it’s I who should thank you. Let’s talk in the car."

He Chengli hurried over to open the car door, cold air blowing out.

Li Rui got in, politely asking: "I wonder why Auntie specifically came for?"

Yun Jiaying was amused by the address, replying: "To bring you a thank-you gift."
