"Pah, who did you say was abandoned and who is pitiful? I’m not pitiful at all. If anyone’s pitiful, it’s you. Don’t pity , I don’t even know how wonderful my life is now!"
Ling Yao smirked: "Stubborn as a mule, how many New Year’s Eves have I spent with you now? Maybe it’ll still be spending them with you in the future."
"No way, why? It’s like you’re saying no one wants ."
"I don’t know if anyone wants you, but as long as I’m around, no one should think about coveting you."
Hua Yan truly believed these words. With her personality, finding another man who knew all her secrets was nearly impossible. Even Ning Hao didn’t know the secrets hidden on her person. Ling Yao was the only one, and the last one.
Her trust in him could also be called dependence. She didn’t know what kind of feelings these were, maybe a bond stronger than love, like family.
She was at a loss for words with him, so she simply didn’t think about it.
Just as the two of them turned a corner, two young n with knives suddenly jumped out from the alley next to them.
These two looked about eighteen or nineteen, with dyed yellow hair sticking up. The words they spoke weren’t intimidating and their voices even trembled a little.
"Quick, hand over the money, or I’ll stab you!"
Hua Yan thought sothing was off about them; their trembling and twitching appearance increasingly looked like that of drug users?
She frowned and was about to step forward, but Ling Yao stopped her: "Stand back, leave this to !"
Hua Yan obediently moved back. She didn’t really know much about Ling Yao’s skills, but having seen him perform high-risk action scenes easily, she knew how agile he was.
So she calmly took out her phone from her bag and dialed 110. The two young n cursed at this move.
Holding their knives, they rushed at her, but Ling Yao, managing both, toyed with them without getting flustered, attacking them while scolding them.
"So young and yet so misguided, you even dare to try robbery? Let’s see how I teach you a lesson today!"
After reporting the address, Hua Yan heard a ’mmm-mmm’ noise from the landscape path, as if soone had their mouth covered and was making a sound. She frowned, could there be more than just two of them?
Realizing sothing was wrong, Hua Yan looked around but didn’t find a handy tool. Taking advantage of the darkness, she slipped into the greenbelt, pulling out a steel pipe from her space, holding it ready as she searched through the grass. Her footsteps were so light they made almost no sound, and as she went deeper, the sound beca clearer.
Until she maneuvered through a small bamboo grove, she saw three young n assaulting a woman. The woman’s mouth was gagged, and as Hua Yan stood behind them, the woman’s pupils shrunk, and she struggled even more fiercely. The n quickly noticed her shadow and instead of being afraid, they sneered coldly.
"Oh, another one offering herself up. We were just wondering where to vent, and here you co, prepared, huh? Even got a steel pipe ready? But are you sure you can take on all three of us alone? No, no, four of us, our boss is having a good ti over there, maybe we should play with you for a bit first!"
As the saying goes, ’On a dark, windy night, murders and heists occur’; the closer it is to New Year’s Eve, when families gather, the more so people can’t stand others’ happiness.
Seeing the man about to succeed, Hua Yan leapt like she had Qinggong, easily vaulting over the three-man wall in front, lightly landing behind the man about to make his move, and without hesitation, struck fiercely at his waist with the steel pipe.
The man let out a painful grunt, his features contorting in agony. The woman on the ground quickly backed away, trembling with fear, yet did not forget to pull her clothes over herself, then turned and yelled at Hua Yan.
"What are you standing around for? Run, the police will be here any minute. I already called them. You get out of here fast."
The young woman, crying, looked at her and said, "What about you? There are four of them."
"Stop the damn talking and go get help."
No sooner were the words out, the boss, who had been knocked down, was helped up by the other three and started yelling to catch Hua Yan.
She turned calmly, wielding the steel pipe with ease, and the woman, urged by Hua Yan’s yelling, stumbled away.
