Wen Yan nodded repeatedly.
The man then loosened his grip and continued speaking in his hoarse, broken voice:
"I'll let you go if you don't call me."
Wen Yan nodded even more vigorously, but she didn't dare to look him directly in the eye.
It was a face that was completely disfigured.
It looked like it had been burned. Three-quarters of its face was destroyed, and its original appearance was unrecognizable. When it suddenly appeared, Wen Yan was almost scared to death.
His vocal cords also appeared to be damaged, but his physique indicated that he was a man, and the skin on his exposed palms was intact.
Judging from the condition of the skin on the back of his hand, he should be a middle-aged man, and probably not young anymore.
While his mind was racing with these thoughts, he had already untied the ropes binding Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan.
Although Shen Jingchuan already knew that the person who saved them might be a very scary-looking person, he had already made some preparations in his mind.
But when he saw the man in front of him, he instinctively shielded Wen Yan behind him.
Although doing so might be offensive to someone who had just saved him, Shen Jingchuan still used his body to completely cover Wen Yan.
However, Wen Yan did not intend to hide behind Shen Jingchuan forever.
She stepped forward quickly.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jingchuan immediately grabbed her hand.
The two looked at each other, and Wen Yan shook her head at him.
The two of them immediately said to the middle-aged man in front of them, "Thank you for saving us!"
The disfigured man didn't look at them, but quickly put on the hood of his cotton-padded coat to cover his face.
“I didn’t expect to run into people here in the middle of the night, so I wasn’t wearing a mask. I’m sorry to have scared you. Come with me, this place is not safe to stay. I’ll take you to a safe place.”
Even so, Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan remained somewhat wary.
As they walked out, Shen Jingchuan asked the disfigured man a question.
"May I ask why you are here at this time? As far as I know, this seems to be an abandoned industrial park with many unattended factories."
The disfigured man walked ahead intently, leading the way, and answered without turning his head.
“Strictly speaking, this place isn’t exactly abandoned, but it has been deserted for a long time and is guarded. I’m the guard here. My companion should have been here earlier; he lured those two bad guys away, which gave me the opportunity to rescue you.”
"So that patrolman was your partner!" Wen Yan couldn't help but interject. "Was he in danger dealing with those two thugs by himself? We didn't see him earlier, but I heard he had an electric scooter. He should be alright, right?"
“We’re quite familiar with this place, so I think he should be fine. But I can’t be sure. However, I’ve already discussed it with him. After we’ve successfully lured the person away, he’ll go back to our place first, and then I’ll take you to meet him.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the disfigured man suddenly turned around and grabbed Shen Jingchuan's arm.
Shen Jingchuan held Wen Yan's hand the whole time. The disfigured man pulled him along, and he pulled Wen Yan along. The three of them quickly huddled into a small corner.
The disfigured man immediately lowered his voice and explained, "Those two people are back in their car. Please don't make a sound."
Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan already knew this without him saying it.
For a moment, the only sound in the small space was the sound of the three people breathing.
The car quickly stopped in front of the abandoned factory they had just escaped from, but soon, the fur-clad man's stuttering and angry curses rang out.
"Mommy, Mommy! He's run away! I need to chase after him! That bastard Kenken definitely had accomplices!"
"Which direction should we chase them in?"
"How the hell would I know? I'll just go look around!"
The two quickly got back into the car and sped past the place where Wen Yan and the others were hiding.
The three of them only got up when they could no longer hear the sound of the car driving.
When the disfigured man and Shen Jingchuan got up, nothing happened, but when it was Wen Yan's turn, there was a 'sizzling' sound.
In that instant, she felt an unbearable pain in her lower back.
But she endured it without making a sound, only letting out a painful hiss.
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Jingchuan immediately put his arm around Wen Yan's shoulder.
He immediately became anxious: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Wen Yan gasped, "It seems like something poked out from where I was squatting and caught on my clothes. As soon as I stood up, my clothes were torn, and I even got a stab in the waist. Why am I so unlucky?"
"Did it bleed? Did it hurt a lot?"
"It's much better now than before, there shouldn't be any bleeding." Wen Yan touched her lower back. Although it was too dark to see anything clearly, her hand was dry.
"We still need to find a well-lit place to check it carefully later."
"Let's talk about it after we leave here; we're not safe yet."
Shen Jingchuan nodded, then said to the disfigured man:
"Thank you so much for saving us. Do you have a cell phone? We'd like to borrow yours for a bit."
"Yes, but before we went in to rescue you, my companion and I had already called the police, and they should be on their way."
Even so, the disfigured man still took out his phone and handed it to Shen Jingchuan.
"However, if you're still worried, you can call the police now. But it's best to explain the situation to the police, saying that the two thugs have already driven away from the park and that the police car might run into them on the way. It's best to ask the police to turn off their hazard lights to avoid alerting them."
