The bumps of the bus rolling over the speed bumps were mixed with suppressed sobs.

On the other end of the phone, Bo Junyi stared at the text message and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

The clock in the study was ticking, and every tick felt like a blunt knife cutting into my heart.

He grabbed his car keys and rushed out the door.

An hour later, after checking the surveillance footage from twenty intersections, Bo Junyi finally locked onto Li Susu's figure in the camera on the South City Pedestrian Street.

Dusk completely enveloped the skyline. His girl was like a rootless fallen leaf, moving mechanically in the crowd. Finally, she stopped outside the window of a maternity and baby store, staring blankly at the baby products in the window.

Bo Junyi arrived at the street where she was.

He followed her from a distance, watching her stop and leave at the door of the milk tea shop.

When Li Susu sat down on the bench, Bo Junyi hid in the shadow of the sycamore tree across the street.

She hugged her knees and lowered her head, finally burying her face in her arms.

At this moment, Bo Junyi finally understood what heart-wrenching pain was.

He pressed his aching chest tightly, his knuckles digging deep into the flesh, but it was no match for the silent tearing wound in his heart.

The late autumn wind blew dead leaves past her feet. Li Susu wrapped her coat tightly and walked with her head down, when suddenly her way was blocked by several dark shadows.

The leader chewed his gum and blew a bubble, his greasy eyes glued to her face: "Little sister, are you playing outside alone?"

"Go away!"

Li Susu took a half step back and spoke expressionlessly.

The three hooligans smiled at each other, and one of them stretched out his hand: "You have a hot temper? I like your type..."

But before she could finish her words, Li Susu suddenly opened the zipper of her canvas bag, and the fruit knife in her hand gleamed coldly.

The moment the blade cut through the air, Li Susu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

But before she could stab out, the leading thug suddenly let out a muffled groan, and his tall body fell to the ground with a bang.

The other two turned around in horror and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the darkness.
