Tang Li gripped the fruit knife in the fruit basket in the car tightly. These people had ill intentions; at worst, she would fight to the death.

The bolder man grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth, and with a chilling smile, reached his hand through the broken car window and opened the door.

"Hey, there really is a pretty girl on the bus!"

"Hey beautiful, come down and play with us."

Tang Li kept backing away, as there wasn't much space in the car anyway.

Without saying a word, a man grabbed her ankle.

Tang Li was terrified and kicked him hard with all her might.

She hurriedly opened the door behind her and rushed into the overgrown weeds by the roadside.

The thorns in the grass scratched her legs and arms. Tang Li was terrified and ran forward without thinking.

If she trapped herself in the car, she would truly be doomed; those men were after her.

"Chase them quickly!"

Several men saw her roll off the car and panicked, trying to chase after her.

The night was vast, and Tang Li's figure quickly disappeared into the boundless darkness.

"That bitch is gone!"

"Search around here, she couldn't have gone far!"

Tang Li was indeed not far away; she could even hear the men talking.

She lay prone on the ground, burying her head in the deep weeds, barely daring to breathe, holding her breath.

I just hope those people don't find her, and I pray Bai Xinyang comes back soon; maybe he's run into trouble...

Mosquitoes bit her legs, causing her great pain, but Tang Li resolutely refused to move an inch.

The voices of the men around her were sometimes very close to her, and sometimes they were farther away.

"That stinky woman just fell off the car, where could she have run off to?"

"She's definitely nearby, probably hiding in these tall grasses. Let's find her quickly, sleeping with her will net us ten thousand yuan, a win-win situation!"

Tang Li was startled. No wonder she was being targeted by these people for no reason. Who gave her the reward of 10,000 yuan?

Someone wants to harm her, even willing to spend money to ruin her reputation, and perhaps even take her life.

As the group drew closer, Tang Li gripped the grass tightly; she couldn't move.

If she moves, and the grass sways, the group will quickly spot her.

The surroundings were so quiet that only her tense breathing could be heard, and a serpentine creature could be vaguely seen swimming out of the grass.

Tang Li's eyes widened in shock.

The snake lunged forward and bit her chest.

"ah!"

Tang Li was terrified and jumped up, but she was still bitten on the chest.

Her sudden loud noise alerted the four men who had been searching for her.

"Oh, we're so close, little beauty. Don't worry, your brothers will be gentle. Come on."

Tang Li kept backing away, shouting, "Get out of here! Who bribed you? He gave you ten thousand yuan, I can give you one hundred thousand!"

The lecherous man stared intently at Tang Li's fair neck. "That won't do, little beauty. You're so pretty, I can't bear to part with you."

"bring it on!"

One of the bolder ones rushed over without hesitation and hugged Tang Li tightly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Li took out the dagger in her hand and stabbed it hard into his abdomen with all her might.

"ah!"

The man was startled, clutched his stomach, and fell to the ground with a thud.

He roared in anguish, "She has a knife! A knife!"

Tang Li disregarded everything else, grabbed the knife, held it protectively in front of her, and glared fiercely at the four men in front of her.

"If any of you dare to take a step closer, I'll stab him to death!"

A man wiped his mouth with his thumb. "Little beauty, there are four of us. You can't escape. Put the knife down obediently to save yourself trouble, don't you think?"

She watched as the four dirty men approached her.

"Tang Li!"

That sound was like heavenly music. Tang Li's nose tingled, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Lu Jianshen!"

Her heart finally settled down; most of the fear and anxiety she had felt earlier had dissipated.

The four men were initially a little flustered, but when they turned around and saw that it was Lu Jianshen alone, they stopped being nervous.

Four against one, isn't this a sure thing to win?

"You brat, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! There are four of us brothers..."

Without saying a word, Lu Jianshen threw a punch and then kicked one of them hard, knocking him to the ground.

His leather shoe crushed the man's face, causing the man to scream in pain.

Two men nearby rushed over to help.

Lu Jianshen quickly and easily defeated them, leaving them sprawled on the ground, unable to move.

He didn't linger in the fight; Tang Li was the most important person to him right now.

Lu Jianshen walked over and hugged Tang Li, who was shivering in the night wind. She was still clutching the blood-stained fruit knife tightly in her hand.

"Ah Shen..." Tang Li murmured softly, her voice trembling.

He simply patted Tang Li on the back.

"It's alright, I'll take you back."

Tang Li nodded, and only after getting into the car did she vaguely remember something.

"A snake bit me."

Lu Jianshen was just about to fasten his seatbelt when he heard this and immediately panicked.

"Did you see what kind of snake it was? Where is the wound?"

Tang Li shook her head. It was pitch black at night, and she could only make out the shape of the snake. She couldn't see the patterns on its body at all, and she felt very uneasy.

"Where is the wound?" Lu Jianshen asked again.
