What the people behind her didn't know was that she had suffered enough humiliation in the Lu family. These were just simple online opinions and wouldn't cause her any harm.
After hanging up the phone, Jian Ruoxi felt a sense of relief and reached out to stroke her lower abdomen.
"My child, Mom's variety show is saved. This time, it's all thanks to your kind uncles and aunts."
"Now Mom can save up more money to buy you formula."
As if the baby inside her belly understood her words, it kicked her twice in response.
In a great mood, she decided to go downstairs to get some food.
The child hasn't eaten properly all day and is starving.
"Boss, a small bowl of noodles, please!"
Jian Ruoxi sat by the window of the small shop, eating heartily. Because she was a regular customer, the owner kindly gave her a bowl of side dishes.
"I don't think the weather is very good tonight. You should go home early after dinner and not wander around outside."
Not only was the weather bad, but the shop owner also noticed that behind the girl, there was a customer dressed in black who kept looking up at her.
Fearing something might happen to her, the boss could only offer this kind of reminder.
Hopefully, he's mistaken.
"Thank you, boss. I'll head back after I finish eating."
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Jian Ruoxi immediately felt much warmer.
"Boss, I've scanned the money for you. Remember to check it."
The owner was helping out in the kitchen when he heard Jian Ruoxi's voice and went to the front of the shop, only to find that there were no customers inside.
The man in black who had been staring at the girl was also gone.
The boss immediately felt a jolt of alarm and picked up the receiver to dial the police.
"Hello, I want to report a crime."
"Someone just started following a girl, and they headed north!"
Jian Ruoxi didn't rush home.
She's been so preoccupied with things online these past two days that she hasn't even had time for a walk.
"I just finished eating, let me digest a bit!"
She was just casually strolling around the neighborhood when she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Behind her, a figure followed.
Is he also going to walk forward? Am I blocking his way?
But just as she stopped, the figure behind her also stopped.
"Is this person following me on purpose?"
To verify her inner thoughts, Jian Ruoxi deliberately took several turns, and no matter which way she looked, the figure behind her always followed her.
Oh no, have we really run into the fanatical netizens Xue'er was talking about?
How did they find their place to stay?
Without time to think, Jian Ruoxi took off running. She couldn't go home right now, so she tried to head towards crowded places.
"We should be safe once we get to a crowded place."
The people behind her chuckled twice as they saw her running away.
"Now you're scared? When you abandoned your father in the urban village and didn't care about him, why didn't you think this day would come?"
"I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents today!"
Jian Ruoxi wanted to cry but had no tears.
This person must be mentally ill.
There's not a single piece of evidence to support what's being said online, yet everyone's rushing to her side to claim she's acting on behalf of Heaven.
They really think they're someone important.
"Don't get agitated, things aren't as you think."
No matter what Jian Ruoxi said, that person was like a man possessed, refusing to listen to anything.
Jian Ruoxi looked behind her and saw that the man had already taken out a small knife from his pocket.
The streetlights on both sides of the road shone on the blade, reflecting a chilling white light that flashed across Jian Ruoxi's eyes.
Towards the end, she couldn't keep going anymore, and her movements gradually slowed down.
"Oh, so you're not running away after all?"
The man actually quite enjoyed the game of chasing each other earlier, and now he saw the woman in front of him exhausted, waiting for her to beg for mercy.
Jian Ruoxi covered her lower abdomen with one hand, feeling some discomfort, and immediately stopped.
She wasn't incapable of escaping, but she was thinking of the baby in her womb.
She knew she couldn't do any more strenuous exercise.
If this continues, the child will be in danger.
"Let's not run away anymore. How about we have a proper talk? For example, who gave you and my home address?"
"Even if I accept your judgment, I want to die knowing why."
This person is a freak; normal communication is completely ineffective.
Only by understanding his perspective can we perhaps find a breakthrough.
The man indeed began to seriously consider Jian Ruoxi's words.
"I don't know either. After I read your news during the day, I received a phone call, and the person on the other end gave me your address."
This doesn't sound like a lie.
"Who told you that?"
The man shook his head. "All I know is that it was a woman's voice."
A woman? Is it Han Mingyi or Jian Mengyu?
Jian Ruoxi had absolutely no clue at this point.
"I've told you everything you need to know, now you can rest assured."
The perverted man, holding a knife, approached Jian Ruoxi step by step.
His eyes were red, as if he were recalling the scene many years ago when his older brother abused their parents to death.
Jian Ruoxi's figure gradually changed, transforming into the appearance of her elder brother.
"People like you deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"
The man rushed towards her so fast that Jian Ruoxi had no time to dodge. All she could do was tightly protect the baby in her womb with her hands.
She heard the sound of blood dripping to the ground, but the expected pain did not come.
Strange, she wasn't injured?
What is that blood?
Jian Ruoxi looked up and saw Lu Shen grab the knife first, preventing the man from taking another step forward.
"Lu, Lu Shen?"
What is he doing here?
It felt as if a thousand silver needles were stuck in my throat, preventing me from uttering even a single word.
It was as if they had instantly lost their ability to speak.
"If you don't learn to protect yourself next time, I won't let you leave so easily."
Lu Shen turned his head and smiled gently at Jian Ruoxi, still gripping the knife tightly in his hand to prevent it from advancing any further, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
His eyes were fixed only on the woman behind him.
"Who are you! Get out of my way!"
"I'm going to kill her, kill her!"
The perverted man had lost his mind and suddenly pulled out the knife, causing Lu Shen to wince in pain.
Jian Ruoxi could clearly see that his hands were trembling uncontrollably due to the injury.
He's Lu Shen, how could he be injured?
It was all because of her.
It all feels like a dream.
Just as the perverted man rushed in again, Ah Jie and his team arrived in time and subdued him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to hurt our young master and young mistress!"
Just as A-Jie was about to continue lecturing the man, Lu Shen suddenly spoke up.
"When I arrived, I saw police cars rushing this way as well."
“Tie him up, leave one or two people to watch over him, and come back and explain the situation to them.”
"We shouldn't dirty our own people's hands by dealing with this kind of person."
