Lin Qinghuan walked forward nonchalantly with her hands in her pockets, while her uncle and father followed behind her in fear, their hearts pounding as if they were about to burst out of their chests.

Lin Qinghuan saw a bend in the road not far ahead, quickened her pace, and ran towards it.

When Lin Qinghuan suddenly started running, Lin's father and Lin Da were stunned for a moment, but then they came to their senses and chased after her.

The five men who were following behind saw Lin Qinghuan and the others run away, and their hearts suddenly tightened. Could it be that they had been discovered?

How could five men let such a fat sheep slip through their fingers? One of them, a young man wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a half-open vest over it, loose bell-bottoms, and hair covering his ears, waved his hand and shouted, "Go after him!"

When Lin's father and uncle heard voices behind them, they turned around and saw several thugs chasing after them. Their faces turned pale instantly.

They were just suspected of being followed, but now it's confirmed! They really were being targeted! And someone is relentlessly pursuing them, trying to rob them!

Thinking of this, the two were filled with anger, anxiety, and rage!

Lin Qinghuan turned her head to look behind her and saw that those people were chasing them closely. She quickened her pace and ran to the corner before stopping.

Lin's father and uncle hurriedly asked, "Qinghuan, why did you stop running? Those people are catching up with us!"

Lin Qinghuan watched as her father and uncle gasped for breath, their chests heaving violently. The tension and the intense running caused their hearts to race. She was so close that she could hear their heartbeats.

"Can you outrun energetic young people?"

Lin's father and uncle were speechless upon hearing this. They were already exhausted, and if they continued running, it would really kill them.

Lin Qinghuan took the sack from her father's hand and urged, "You all need to go up the mountain and hide quickly. Don't get caught. Let me handle them."

Upon hearing this, Lin's father became anxious and quickly said, "Qinghuan, your father is strong. Your father can help you fight the bad guys."

"Dad, I'm afraid they'll grab you and Uncle and threaten me into handing over the bankbook. What should I do then? Should I give it to them or not?" Lin Qinghuan asked.

Ordinary petty thugs only do small-time theft; they don't really have the guts to commit robbery.

Only criminals who have something to rely on dare to rob without fear.

Before even facing the thugs, Lin's father and uncle turned pale with fear. If the thugs had pulled out knives and threatened them face to face, they would have been scared half to death and might not have even had the courage to resist.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Uncle Lin anxiously tugged at Lin's father's clothes, "Let's hide first and watch from the shadows. If Qinghuan is at a disadvantage, it won't be too late for us to come out and help."

After thinking about it, Lin's father thought that his uncle's suggestion was feasible, so he hurriedly went up the mountain to find a place to hide.

Lin Qinghuan opened the sack and started throwing sweet potatoes at the people who were chasing after her.

"Ouch!" A dark-skinned, thin young man cried out in pain after being hit by a sweet potato.

Lin Qinghuan threw sweet potatoes at the pursuers one after another. They dodged the sweet potatoes thrown at them, looking for an opportunity to get close to Lin Qinghuan and try to catch her.

A man seized an opportunity to pounce on Lin Qinghuan. Lin Qinghuan looked at the man rushing towards her, a fierce glint flashing in her beautiful eyes. She picked up a stone and smashed it hard against the man.

"Ah!" The attacker was struck in the chest, let out a scream, fell to the ground, clutching his chest, and looked at Lin Qinghuan with a face full of pain and fear.

Lin Qinghuan asked coldly, "Who are you people, and why are you following us?"

A man leered at Lin Qinghuan's pretty face and chuckled, "Why? Of course, it's for money. But now that I see you're so beautiful, I might as well take advantage of you."

Looking at the robbers' fearless attitude, Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but sneer, "You guys are really bold. In broad daylight, you actually tried to rob them of their money and their virtue. Aren't you afraid of adding more crimes to your list? You'll rot in jail."

“Did anyone see us robbing people or assaulting women?” another robber said.

Lin Qinghuan looked around. This was the wilderness, sparsely populated, and she didn't see a single passerby. Even if they killed themselves, no one would see.

Just then, Lin Qinghuan saw a middle-aged man and two young men walking towards them. Her face lit up with joy, and she quickly cried out for help, "Help!"

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qinghuan, then at the robbers, and asked in a trembling voice, "Young lady, what's wrong?"

"They are bad people, please save me!" Lin Qinghuan said.

A short, fat robber pulled a sharp knife from his back and shouted, "Don't come any closer, get the hell away from me, or I'll kill you all."

The other robbers also pulled out fruit knives, their menacing expressions fixed on the three passersby. They were ready to stab them to death if the three dared to interfere or offer assistance.

The three passersby stopped in their tracks, staring fearfully at the fruit knife in the robber's hand, and dared not take another step forward.

The young man, dressed in a floral shirt and jeans, pulled out a dagger, twirled it in his hand, and then gestured at the three passersby, saying, "If you don't leave, I'll stab you to death."

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Qinghuan with worry and guilt, then grabbed the two young people and ran away.

The five robbers watched the three men escape and laughed triumphantly.

Lin Qinghuan's expression darkened slightly as she looked at the gleaming knives in their hands. "How dare they! They dare to rob people with knives in broad daylight!"

The five robbers glared evilly at Lin Qinghuan. If they could just catch this woman, they would have the money and could live a life of luxury and happiness.

Seeing the robbers' menacing demeanor, Lin Qinghuan's heart leaped into her throat. She tightened her grip on the stone and asked nervously, "How did you know we had money?"

“You were carrying so much money to the bank to deposit, and we just happened to see you doing it,” one of the robbers said smugly. “Now hand over your passbook and password, and have some fun with us, and I’ll spare your life.”

"My father and the others have already gone to ask for help. They'll be here soon with reinforcements. Then none of you will escape. You'll be spending your lives in jail!" Lin Qinghuan said coldly.

The robbers' expressions darkened slightly; they hadn't seen the other two men.
