Chapter 239 As pitiful as can be

Shen Xuewei was knocked to the ground and touched a bicycle wheel and a person's leg.

Feeling a burning pain in several places on her body, with pain in her back and buttocks, Shen Xuewei, who was usually good-tempered, angrily cursed:

"Who are you? Can't you watch where you're going at night? You've hit someone, don't you know that?"

She searched the ground for a few seconds and finally found the phone.

She raised her phone to see who it was when the person suddenly slapped her, knocking her phone away. In the dim light, the person pedaled away on their bicycle, quickly riding a distance.

Shen Xuewei was furious, so she picked up her phone again and shone it on the person in front of her.

The person was riding the bicycle very fast, and Shen Xuewei could only see their back, but she could vaguely make out that it was a girl.

"Go to hell! You just wait, don't let me find out who you are, or you'll be sorry!"

Even if she couldn't find out who the other person was when she turned around, she still had to say those harsh words, otherwise, the damage she suffered would be too great.

The man, probably having heard her words, pedaled his bicycle even faster.

Several parts of her body were scraped, and Shen Xuewei couldn't help but hiss as soon as she finished her harsh words.

Presumably hearing someone nearby, another scream came from the woods, followed by cries for help.

Shen Xuewei could tell that it was a girl's voice, and it sounded vaguely familiar.

Besides the girl's voice, there seemed to be another male voice cursing.

Shen Xuewei clutched her burning forehead, a look of struggle flashing in her eyes.

Should we go check what's going on...?

Feeling a pang of conscience, Shen Xuewei hesitated for less than a second before gritting her teeth and limping into the woods.

As they drew closer, the sounds coming from the woods became increasingly clear.

Frightened, Shen Xuewei picked up a tree branch from the ground to bolster her courage and charged forward with a roar.

"What are you doing? Let her go!"

A burly man with a menacing face was grabbing a girl by the hair with his other hand, while tearing at her pants.

The girl was only wearing a tattered, close-fitting undershirt. At this moment, she was hitting the man on top of her with one hand and desperately protecting her pants with the other.

Their good time was interrupted. The man, still holding the girl's hair with one hand and shielding his eyes from the light with the other, hissed:

"Get lost, or I'll take care of you too!"

Seeing someone approaching, the girl saw a glimmer of hope and immediately cried for help again.

The next moment, the newcomer seemed to be frightened by the man. As soon as the branch in his hand fell to the ground, he turned around and ran away.

Seeing that the rescuers had arrived but then ran away, the girl was filled with despair.

The man sneered and slapped the remaining girl hard across the face. "You bitch, I'll teach you to be naughty!"

The girl's face quickly swelled up after the slap, and she felt dizzy.

The man started tearing at her pants again, and his smelly mouth began to kiss her face haphazardly.

Her strength was waning, but she still struggled desperately.

Suddenly, the man on top of her groaned and collapsed heavily onto her.

She pushed him away with all her might, screaming, and saw a figure holding a brick appear in front of her.

Shen Xuewei trembled all over. When she saw the man fall to the ground, she was so frightened that she dropped the brick she was holding.

She asked the girl, "Are you alright?"

The girl shook her head and backed away, both relieved that the man hadn't succeeded and afraid that he would be beaten to death.

"Is he... is he dead?"

With trembling hands, Shen Xuewei checked the man's breath. Her first reaction after realizing he was still breathing was to take off her coat and scarf and tie his hands and feet.

Once she was sure the man couldn't break free, she sat down heavily on the ground.

"He's not dead."

Upon hearing just two words, the girl first breathed a sigh of relief, then burst into tears.

Shen Xuewei wanted to comfort her, but before she could even open her mouth, she burst into tears herself.

What kind of situation is this? She just came back to pick up her homework, how could she run into something like this?

If I had known, I wouldn't have come back to get this homework!

Wait... what will happen to the girl if she doesn't come back to get it?

The two of them sobbed for several minutes before Shen Xuewei stopped crying first and regained her usual composure.

She glanced at the girl who was still crying, silently got up, picked up the girl's coat that was scattered nearby, and handed it to her.

"Don't cry."

Fortunately, the girl was wearing tight-fitting skinny jeans today. These jeans were clinging to her skin, making them difficult to put on and take off.

The girl took the coat and wrapped it tightly around herself. Although she didn't cry out loud anymore, tears still streamed down her face.

Shen Xuewei recognized her earlier when she knocked the man unconscious with a brick and pushed him away.

They performed beautifully on stage yesterday, but look like this today.

Seeing Xu Yue's panicked state and tear-streaked face, Shen Xuewei sighed and asked in a soft voice:

Are you still scared?

Seeing her nod, Shen Xuewei picked up the brick she had previously thrown on the ground, pressed the girl's hand onto her own, and then forcefully smashed it against the man's leg.

The man cried out in pain, jolting awake from his unconscious state. "What are you doing?"

Shen Xuewei, with a cold face, saw him wake up and slammed a brick directly onto his forehead.

He groaned and fainted again.

Xu Yue said fearfully, "No...don't hit him anymore, what if he dies?"

Shen Xuewei kicked the man again, threw the brick in her hand aside, and said, "It's okay, you won't die."

There's a saying that good people don't live long, but evil ones live for a thousand years. How could such a wicked person die so easily?

A cold wind whistled through the two of them. Xu Yue looked at Shen Xuewei, who was not tall, and felt a sense of security in her, perhaps because Shen Xuewei had just saved her.

Having just encountered this incident, she was somewhat at a loss.

"What should we do next? Should we just leave him here like this?"

Shen Xuewei glanced at her. "Are you an adult?"

Xu Yue shook her head, "I... I'll be seventeen in a few months, I'm only sixteen now."

"Call the parents and call the police at the same time."

Upon hearing the words "call the parents," Xu Yue became nervous. "I only have my grandmother, but I can't let her know about this. She'll hate me even more."

Shen Xuewei sighed and took out her phone to call Chen Fanglan.

Chen Fanglan took her medicine and fell into a deep sleep. Her phone rang, but she couldn't hear it at all.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xuewei had no choice but to call Teacher Qin.

I'm sorry, Teacher Qin.

When Teacher Qin received such a call from Shen Xuewei late at night, she was terrified.

"Shen Xuewei, don't run around. Wait there. The teacher will be here soon. Don't be scared, don't be scared..."

Shen Xuewei remained calm, but she was sobbing, "Teacher, I know, I'll definitely wait for you... I'm not scared..."

The police officer and Teacher Qin arrived in the woods almost together.

Upon reaching the woods, they found Shen Xuewei and Xu Yue huddled together, shivering, looking utterly pitiful.

A man lay on the ground, with a blood-stained brick beside him.
