Chapter 102: Encounter

S City is more scenic at night with its colorful flickering lights.

Wu Anan partied with her former classmates tonight. The driver who usually picks her up happened to have something to do.

The party wasn’t far from home. It would only take 10 minutes by taxi to get there.

Wu Anan decided to walk back and took a slightly out-of-the-way road. Suddenly, two people rushed out from the dark and blocked her way.

“Take out your money,” one of them demanded.

Wu Anan calmly took her wallet out of her bag and threw it on the ground.

“That’s all I have.”

The man gave a meaningful look at his companion before he bent down to pick up the wallet on the ground.

Wu Anan quickly took the stun gun baton out of her bag and hit the man.

‘ZZZZ.’

Electricity flashed in the darkness, and the man was held up immobile before fainting to the ground.

Seeing that she was difficult to deal with, the other man went straight for her, grabbed her wrists, and knocked the baton off her hand. It was easy to disarm her.

“Us brother snatch money. How about we snatch your body too?”

Wu Anan had a bad feeling, so she wriggled her body and said, “Do you know who my brother-in-law is? My brother-in-law is Fang Qingtian. Have a shot at touching me and see for yourself, I dare you!”

The man snickered and said, “And I should believe in whatever you say?”

“… You look good,” He touched Wu Anan’s rear and gawked at her body. She was wearing a dress today. Utterly humiliated, Wu Anan gnashed her teeth but did not dare to make a move. Inwardly, she wished this man the death of a thousand cuts.

“Wu Anan?” A clear voice suddenly broke through from the darkness.

When she saw how Lin Xinyu just stood there, in a bright spot, watching everything happen from the side, all her hopes were dashed. If it were Lin Xin, Wu Anan believed that she’d be saved. But with Lin Xinyu, she was afraid that he’d pretend not to see.

Lin Xinyu took out his cell phone and called out, “Oy, I called the police.”

When the man heard it, he quickly let go of Wu Anan and dragged his companion away.

Wu Anan picked up her bag from the ground, patted her skirt, and said, “Thank you.”

Lin Xinyu gave her an innocent smile. One that told her he liked her, as if he wanted to give her the world.

Wu Anan was stupefied. She bowed her head and said, “I thought you wouldn’t save me.”

Lin Xinyu said, “I don’t like you very much, but I won’t fail to save you. After all, we all came from the same orphanage.” He carefully took off his coat and draped it around Wu Anan.

Wu Anan smelled the faint smell of mint from his clothes. She flushed slightly, tugged at the coat and said, “Thank you.”

***

Lin Xin recently felt that something was wrong with Lin Xinyu. The child hadn’t come to pick her up these days. When she called him, he would often turn off his phone.

Had that child been doing something wrong behind her back?

Today, she came home early only to find out that Lin Xinyu wasn’t at home. Piecing together the words she heard from Aunt Hui, she realized that Lin Xinyu had not been staying home during the night for the past few days.

Didn’t he tell her he’d been resting at home every day? Lin Xin felt it necessary to ask what he had been doing these days.

She called Lin Xinyu and said she would wait for him at home, and asked him to come back early. As soon as she hung up the phone, the doorbell rang.

Who would come at this time?

When she opened the door, Amy Zhen was standing outside. She looked around anxiously as if she were afraid of being seen.

Lin Xin was stupefied and wondered how it could be her.
