Emma belatedly let out a shout.
Luo Qiao laughed heartily, and the two decided to stroll back, which would also help them digest.
So after they got out, Emma dismissed the driver.
Luo Qiao’s plane had landed late, and there weren’t too many people on the road at this time.
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they barely noticed anything unusual behind them.
After walking a while, an American girl approached them, seeking help: "Can you help me?"
Emma stopped upon hearing this and was about to inquire when she heard the girl say, "Don’t stop, there are people following me, I’m really scared, please save me."
Luo Qiao looked back and indeed saw three young men trailing them.
Emma said, "I’ll call the police for you."
The girl stopped her, "No, don’t call the police. They have dirt on me. If we go to the police station, I’m done for."
After saying this, she began to sob.
Luo Qiao noticed something seemed off about this girl’s expression and was about to speak.
The girl continued, "Please, I’m really scared."
Emma asked, "How do you want us to help you?"
The girl glanced back nervously: "There’s an alley up ahead, if we go through it I can quickly get home, but it’s too dark, and I’m afraid to go alone. Can you acpany me?"
Fearing they might refuse, she added, "Please help me."
Luo Qiao felt something was wrong with those people and didn’t want to agree, but Emma spoke up: "Luo, let’s help her; it’s too late for a girl to be out alone, it’s better she doesn’t get into trouble."
The girl quickly thanked them, "Thank you, thank you."
Emma did consider the danger those men posed to her and Luo Qiao, but she reasoned she was somewhat skilled and knew Luo Qiao’s Chinese martial arts were formidable, and the girl’s terrified expression didn’t seem fake.
Luo Qiao hesitated for a moment before agreeing, thinking if those men didn’t have good intentions, they’d deal with them and send them to the police.
But the path the girl led them on got increasingly secluded, and Luo Qiao realized what was happening, tugging Emma to stop.
Looking at their surroundings, Emma said, "We’ll take you this far; you go on your own from here. Those men aren’t following anymore."
They intended to test the girl a bit, but didn’t expect her to lose her posure, even though they hadn’t reached the designated spot, determining this area would be devoid of passersby.
She smirked and said, "You’re just as gullible as me, easy to fool."
Emma pulled Luo Qiao and wanted to leave.
The girl said coldly, "It’s too late to leave now."
Though those three men hadn’t been following openly, they suddenly emerged from different corners, approaching with sneers: "Not bad, quite a catch, the boss will certainly be pleased."
Luo Qiao and Emma understood clearly.
Emma hid behind Luo Qiao and sent a message.
Then she put away her phone and stood with Luo Qiao, while the girl approached: "You can’t escape, no one can save you."
Luo Qiao didn’t want to waste time with them, and as the men rushed forward, he swiftly struck, downing the first, then engaging the other two.
Emma wasn’t idle either, and started dealing with the deceitful girl.
The three men had some skill, and Luo Qiao expended quite an effort before managing to take them all down.
The men tried to struggle after being felled, but Luo Qiao wouldn’t give them the chance, kicking them in the legs, considering it a good deed — otherwise, who knew how many victims they’d deceive.
To exploit others’ passion was despicable.
Thinking this, Luo Qiao approached the girl Emma had defeated and gave her a kick as well.
No worries with Emma here and her family’s backing; Luo Qiao had no concern about tonight’s incident causing trouble.
It didn’t take long before police vehicles arrived, and the girl panicked, "Did you call the police?"
Emma smiled, "Of course we wouldn’t let you get away with it."
Soon after the police arrived, the Emma Family also sent people over.
They went to the police station to give their statements, then returned to where they were staying; Emma’s mom immediately came upon hearing the news, chiding Emma after understanding the situation, saying, "If it weren’t for Luo Qiao today, you’d have suffered greatly."
Emma also realized her mistake today, agreeing with her mom.
She honestly admitted her fault.
They later learned the girl actually had leverage against her in those men’s hands, clearly understanding what had happened, but this was no excuse for forgiveness.
Both woke up late the next day.
After breakfast, Luo Qiao took out the wedding gift she had brought.
Emma and her mom’s eyes lit up upon seeing it, genuinely liking it.
Emma hugged Luo Qiao, "Luo, thank you, I really like it."
Emma’s mom admired the embroidery, exclaiming, "It’s truly beautiful, and so timely, we really appreciate it."
