Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Jane gripped the steering wheel with one hand and the car door handle with the other, heading towards the direction of the garbage pile.

A deafening crash!

A violent impact as the car rammed into the garbage, continuing forward due to the malfunctioning brakes.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The wheels scraped against the ground, gradually slowing the car down.

Taking advantage of these two or three seconds of respite, Jane quickly opened the car door, protected her head, and agilely jumped out.

The sensation of skin being scraped by the hard concrete stimulated Jane’s pain receptors.

Jane rolled on the ground, rolling into a pile of plastic foam before coming to a stop.

All was well!

Jane breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at her deformed car, Jane’s face turned cold.

Clearly, her brakes didn’t malfunction on their own.

Someone had tampered with them!

Jane steadied her mind, quickly got up from the ground, and pulled out her phone, intending to call Anthony to investigate who was scheming against her.

But just as she took out her phone, a group of men in black suddenly appeared from all directions, flooding into the narrow alley, surrounding Jane.

Jane frowned, watching them warily.

If she guessed correctly, these people were the ones who tampered with her car’s brakes.

“Miss North, you’ve offended someone.” A scar-faced man in a suit walked out of the crowd, exuding an aura of hostility.

The others showed utmost respect towards him; evidently, the scar-faced man was their leader.

Jane squinted slightly, her gaze fixed on the terrifying scar on the man’s face.

A flash of insight crossed her mind, and Jane remembered. If she wasn’t mistaken, this man should be the notorious Adonis on the streets in recent years!

Ruthless and cunning, he had a reputation for doing all kinds of evil deeds.

“Give me her phone!” Adonis ordered, and one of the men approached, swiftly taking Jane’s phone.

Then, two burly men approached, menacingly binding Jane’s hands.

“Boss, this chick looks pretty good.” Two men in black, holding Jane, presented her to Adonis, leering at her.

Jane remained calm and composed from start to finish, displaying no signs of panic.

She wanted to see who was scheming against her like this!

“Did you tamper with my car?” Jane asked coldly.

Adonis smirked, “Exactly.”

“The renowned Adonis on the streets. I never expected to become your prey today,” Jane said, her tone calm.

“I didn’t expect you to know my name,” Adonis replied, showing a hint of surprise.

This woman, with her hands bound, didn’t behave like the other women he had encountered-crying, fainting, and full of tears. Instead, she exuded calmness.

Moreover, when her brakes malfunctioned, she managed to jump out of the car and save herself. She was indeed not ordinary.

“Of course, the famous Adonis, who doesn’t know?” Jane leaned against the wall behind her, looking at him with indifference.

In her heart, she was trying to figure out who was behind this plot to harm her.

Although Adonis took action, he couldn’t be the mastermind. After all, she had no grudges with him, and he had no reason to go to such lengths to target her.

The only possibility was that someone was manipulating Adonis from behind!

Adonis was a name she had heard before, known for being formidable in the streets. In just two or three years, he had risen from an unknown small-time thug to a prominent figure.

This man was definitely not one to be trifled with. However, at his level, few could afford to pay him to take action unless the other party held enough power to force him personally.

So, who could it be?

“Miss North, let’s not waste time. I’ve answered the questions you should and shouldn’t ask. Now it’s time for you to accompany me on this journey,” Adonis said.

His eyes turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, a group of black-clad men surged forward, holding burlap sacks, intending to knock Jane unconscious and take her away.

If he succeeded, Jane knew the consequences.

Either she would be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, or she would be strangled and buried in some unknown wilderness.

However…

She looked at the dozen or so men in black before her, her clear eyes showing no sign of panic, but rather a bold and confident radiance.

“Too bad…”

“The Adonis who has never failed a mission on the streets, your reputation will finally break in my hands today!” Jane had calculated. With her skills, she had a ninety percent certainty of leaving this place unharmed, facing Adonis and his group of men.

“What do you mean?” Adonis narrowed his eyes.

“Exactly what I said!” Jane’s tone was calm.

As her words landed, she raised her hands, which had been bound behind her back. Somehow, the ropes had loosened without her noticing. She coldly smiled, “With your lot, do you think you can restrain me?”

The two men who had just bound Jane’s hands were bewildered. “Boss, we tied her tightly just now. How could…”

“Yeah! I deliberately used a tight knot. How could she untie it herself?”

Adonis remained calm and composed, observing Jane with interest. “You’re quite extraordinary, but since I’m about to take your life, I’ve naturally made preparations.”

He paused, then coldly questioned, “Otherwise, do you think I, Adonis, bought my reputation with money?”

As Adonis spoke, his expression suddenly turned sinister. He signaled his henchmen, and each swiftly grasped a steel pipe, brandishing it towards Jane.

Jane’s figure moved extremely quickly, shifting to the side. She fiercely pulled the arm of the person charging directly at her, causing him to scream in pain.

Her strength didn’t waver as she snatched the steel pipe from his hand, raising it to strike hard at his kneecaps.

The next second, a crisp sound echoed.

Accompanied by the man’s painful screams, he collapsed to the ground, curled up. Both his knees were shattered, rendering his legs useless!

The others nearby were shocked that Jane had acted so ruthlessly, directly crippling a man. For a moment, they hesitated to approach.

Adonis hadn’t anticipated that Jane, who seemed delicate and weak, would be so formidable.

He thought her arrogance stemmed from the expectation that someone would come to rescue her.

Little did he know that her strength was inherent!

“What are you all standing around for? Can’t take down one woman? Won’t you attack together?” Adonis’s tone was filled with hostility, his gloomy eyes fixed on Jane.

If he couldn’t deal with this woman today, Adonis knew he would have no future on the streets!

Today, Jane must die!
