Chapter 828: Chapter 829: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 77
By the ti the large group from the finance departnt arrived, Zhang Yu’s figure was no longer visible.
Everyone couldn’t help but sigh, “Youth really has its perks, such speed.”
“Yeah, being young is great. I’m exhausted just making it this far. Forget running, I’m too tired even to walk back.”
“Exactly.” The group continued to lant nonstop.
As the few watched the distant place where no figure was in sight, they couldn’t help but gloat. Initially, they were contemplating how to ditch Zhang Yu if they all walked together.
With so many people around, it would have been challenging to complete the task. Unexpectedly, the girl really went for it and just dashed off.
That was actually good, as it would prevent blowing their cover. The more it went this way, the more they had to stay alert and not let their efforts fall through at the last minute.
The few exchanged glances and continued chatting with their colleagues, making sure to blend in with the large group. Should anything happen to her, soone would definitely investigate, and they couldn’t afford to raise any suspicion.
Their idea was sound, believing this would keep them above suspicion.
However, they had actually forgotten one thing: once Zhang Yu started running, would things still go according to their plan?
Zhang Yu was not only running to clear her head, feeling quite exhausted and groggy.
As she ran, she gradually felt more alert. When passing by an intersection, she heard, “Don’t co here, don’t co here, help !”
“Help !”
“What are you yelling for help for? Nobody’s going to co by at this hour,” soone retorted with a facade of indifference, while continuously signaling to check whether anyone was approaching.
A person on a bike was panting heavily, “They’ve co out, I saw security personnel heading up, it must be okay now.”
“But why hasn’t anyone co yet?” soone else said impatiently, “After all, people live around here. If soone hears us, it’s going to be big trouble.”
If possible, they wouldn’t want to resort to violence here, but they didn’t have a choice; they had tried several tis already and Zhang Yu just wouldn’t fall for it.
Even an old lady had co out, hoping to lure Zhang Yu in, but she acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing.
This really infuriated them, and they kept cursing Zhang Yu for being an impolite person.
This ti they refused to believe she wouldn’t take the bait. “Right, if anyone happens to pass by…”
They prepared to caution once more, hoping to avoid any mistakes. In any case, the favor they had cashed in for Zhang Yu to work overti this ti was unusually significant.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard, and a woman’s voice suddenly rose, “Don’t co here, don’t co here!”
“Help !”
Hearing the cries for help, Zhang Yu’s initial instinct was to rush over, but she reminded herself not to attract trouble.
Yet her steps involuntarily slowed down, and at that mont, soone burst out of an alleyway.
Zhang Yu got really scared, and her already slowing steps instantly quickened as she sprinted forward.
Zhang Yu’s reaction completely stunned the girl who had co out to pull her in to help save soone.
Not understanding why Zhang Yu would actually speed up, she cried out, “Help , my friend is being, being…”
She really wanted to catch up to Zhang Yu, but to her surprise, Zhang Yu was very fast; even with all her might, she couldn’t outrun her.
“Help , my friend is surrounded by thugs.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu slightly slowed her pace, “Help , help , there are thugs!”
“Young lady, hang in there, I’ll call for help, I’ll go to the police.”
Zhang Yu rembered the police station was not far from here, “Help , help , a girl is being harassed by thugs.”
“Help, help!” Zhang Yu ran, shouting loudly.
The girl who went out to seek help was really stunned, wasn’t it said that Zhang Yu had strong fighting capabilities?
How could she act like this? Not to ntion this girl was shocked, those waiting for her to enter were also taken aback.
A few people looked at each other, “How is this different from what we knew before?”
“Yeah, why didn’t she enter, and is instead shouting for help?”
“So, should we still back off?” The girl hesitated and asked in a low voice.
“That, that, the chance this ti…” They also wanted to back off, “The last few tis, she just didn’t fall for it.”
“Then let’s wait for the next opportunity.” One of them paused, starting to hesitate, “In case soone really cos over.”
A few people nodded incessantly, all feeling it was okay to wait for a next ti, “If not this ti, we can wait for the next.”
The group of people looked at each other and were ready to leave; if caught, they would definitely end up in prison, with no good end in sight.
The leader, seeing that they wanted to retreat, pulled out a knife from his pocket, “Whoever dares to leave…”
“Don’t bla for being ruthless, it will be a matter of a white blade going in and a red blade coming out,” he threatened.
“Don’t say I didn’t give you face, talking about another chance, you bunch of idiots, don’t you think about it, where will there be another chance?”
“I can tell you squarely, we’re on a countdown right now, that girl is already looking up information, and she’s almost done.”
“She could sell us out at any ti, do you think you can still be safe by then?”
“Think about it, how much money have each of you taken, and where did you spend it.”
“Also, consider the cris we’ll have to face, think about whether you’ll end up eating free jail food for decades, or just be finished with a peanut.”
“I, I…” Soone suddenly started crying, “I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I’m not even married yet.”
“ too.” Several of them broke down in tears.
The leader originally just wanted to intimidate them into rembering their mission for today, but unexpectedly, he ended up hearing their cries.
This irritated the leader greatly, “All of you shut up.”
“Rember our mission today, to take care of Zhang Yu, then we’ll be safe.”
“Rember, it’s either she dies today or we die.” The leader said fiercely.
Zhang Yu was really lucky to encounter a police officer biking by, she rushed over to him and pointed towards the direction of the alley, “Soone is shouting for help over there.”
Wang Jun was at the city bureau today for a eting, and it had just ended; he was hoping to get so rest early, but he hadn’t expected to encounter soone crying for help.
“Who’s shouting for help?” Wang Jun stopped his bicycle and listened carefully, but he didn’t hear anyone shouting for help.
Zhang Yu rushed to the girl behind her, who was dumbfounded by now, “Didn’t you just say your friend was surrounded by a few ruffians?”
“She is in that alley.”
The little girl, seeing the police officer following her, had only one thought in her mind, and that was she must be dood this ti.
“No, no,” she absolutely couldn’t admit to it, “I, I don’t know.”
No? Zhang Yu’s face fell, “But soone was just shouting for help.”
She imdiately covered the little girl’s mouth, “Who was just shouting for help, where’s the person?”
