Chapter 158: Shang-Chi

Jack frowned as he looked at the woman on the ground. He could tell that her life energy was rapidly fading, and if he didn't save her, she wouldn't survive for more than three minutes.

"Forget it, Since I am a good person, I should save her."

Shaking his head with a sigh, Jack had no intention of letting go, especially since she was just a woman.

Click!

A small sound came from a nearby room, and then an eight- or nine-year-old boy cautiously opened the door and looked at him with nervousness in his eyes.

Jack glanced at the boy but didn't notice anything special. He must be the woman's child, and there was also a little girl in the house.

Seeing that Jack didn't seem like a bad person, the little boy hurriedly ran over, stumbling steps, and reached the woman's side, shaking her while continuously calling out, "Mom."

"If you keep shaking her like that, she will die."

Jack crouched down, pondered for a moment, and then flipped his palm, revealing a small bottle in his hand.

Removing the lid, he aimed the bottle's opening at the woman's mouth and said to the little boy, "Open your mother's mouth if you don't want her to die."

Although the little boy didn't understand what Jack was doing, he clearly heard the last part of his sentence. Filled with the desire to save his mother, he ignored everything else and carefully took his hands to open her closed lips.

Seeing this, Jack tilted the bottle slightly, and a faintly glowing stream of water flowed out from the bottle's opening, pouring into the woman's mouth.

"Alright."

The entire process lasted for only about a second before Jack retrieved the bottle.

The little boy looked at him with a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand what had just happened.

"Cough! Cough!!"

At that moment, the woman, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly coughed twice and slowly opened her eyes.

"Where am I?"

The woman, who had barely escaped death and hadn't yet realized whether she was alive or dead, was answered by Jack.

"You're in your home... if this place is indeed your home."

Jack stood up and looked around, saying, "After all, this isn't a good place to settle down."

Indeed, as he had observed earlier, there wasn't even a single person within several hundred miles of this courtyard, not to mention a city.

It was truly isolated from the outside world.

"Thank you for saving me. My name is Ying Li."

In the short time that had passed, the woman remembered everything that had happened, and she knew from her son that Jack had saved her.

She struggled to stand up and express her gratitude.

"No need to thank me. Just think of it as me learning to do good deeds."

Jack glanced at her and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Instead of thanking me, I'm more curious why they wanted to kill you?"

"They... came for my husband because of some things he did in the past."

Ying Li clearly didn't want to explain, and Jack could guess why. It was nothing more than revenge, a storyline that had become quite cliché.

However, what interested him more was this woman named Ying Li. He wondered which Marvel movie character she could possibly be.

But after thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with any clues. Asian female characters were already low in Marvel movies, and he was sure that she must be a character that appeared after he was here.

Which comic could she be from?

Just as he was thinking, a sentence from Ying Li suddenly made everything clear.

"Shang-Chi, go and bring your sister out!"

'Wait a minute?! Shang-Chi?!!'

These words burst into Jack's ears, bringing him back to reality.

Of course, he was familiar with that name. As one of the few Chinese superheroes in Marvel comics, how could he, as a fan of movies, not know about him?

Before the time travel, there were rumors about the Shang-Chi movie. Now it seemed that Disney had actually made it.

However, there was a lot of discussion wrapping up this movie. On the one hand, Shang Chi's model was the famous Bruce Lee, which was real.

But in the comics, Shang Chi's father, Zeng Zu, was a character with powerful antagonistic traits from the very beginning.

As a result, the dispute over Disney's decision to adapt this comic into a movie had never stopped.

However, Jack wasn't particularly worried.

He believed that as long as Disney had some common sense, they would never do something self-destructive like that unless they wanted to lose the world's second-largest box office market completely!

Now it seemed to be the case.

Although Shang Chi was still young, his handsome appearance could still be seen. Ying Li, as the mother, was also quite beautiful, matching the aesthetic of Chinese people.

As for the father...

Jack hadn't seen him yet, so it was still undecided. But he thought that such a beautiful woman wouldn't settle for an ordinary man, right?

"What happened here?"

A man's voice suddenly came from the door. Jack turned around and saw the person, almost shouting in surprise.

"Wenwu!"

Seeing the man, Ying Li became very excited. She walked over with a weak body and slapped him hard.

The slap completely stunned Wenwu. He had no idea what he did wrong.

But seeing his wife in such a messy and bloodstained state, he completely forgot about being slapped.

He dropped what he was holding and anxiously supported his wife, asking, "What happened? Are you hurt? Is it serious? Who did this?!"

As he spoke, he looked at Jack. He was the only stranger here!

Ying Li knew what her husband was thinking, and she immediately slapped him again. This time it was gentler, more like a caress.

"It's all because of the enemies you brought upon us! If it weren't for this gentleman, you wouldn't be able to see us today!"

Wenwu suddenly understood what had happened. It seemed that his former enemies had come looking for him, and coincidentally, he wasn't at home.

And this stranger, who looked even more handsome than him, happened to pass by and save them.

First, he should have thanked the person, but thinking about the situation, passing by this place in the middle of the night...

Wenwu couldn't help but have a hint of suspicion in his eyes when looking at Jack.

Jack naturally noticed Wenwu's gaze but didn't say anything.

It was normal.

If he guessed correctly, this person's identity meant that he couldn't easily trust others, even if they saved his wife and child.

He didn't plan on staying any longer. Just keeping an eye on them would is enough. He just wanted to get home quickly.

"Now that everything is fine, I'll be on my way."

Jack waved his hand. "Goodbye."

With that, he instantly vanished and disappeared.

Seeing the way Jack left, Wenwu's pupils contracted, his expression became serious, and he glanced at his wife in his arms.

"Let's go to the hospital first, and then you can tell me everything in detail."
