"who?!"
After a rock knocked one of their companions down, the other two turned pale and looked in the direction from which the rock had come.
Liu Miaoqing also quickly turned around to look behind her.
In the dim light, a tall, slender figure stepped out of the darkness.
"Big brother, save me!"
Liu Miaoqing seemed to see a lifeline and hurriedly cried for help.
"Who are you?!"
The two men spoke, trembling.
The man in front of them exerted unparalleled pressure on them.
Zhuang Wen's lips curled up in a bright and casual smile as he tossed a stone into his hand.
At that moment, he exuded masculine charm.
Whoosh!
Zhuang Wen forcefully flung the stone in his hand away.
Bang!
The stone hit a person and shattered instantly.
This shows how much force Zhuang Wen used.
Click!
At the same time, the sound of bones breaking came from a person's shoulder, which was especially clear in the alley.
"This...this is just too amazing!"
Liu Miaoqing's beautiful eyes widened, and then she looked at Zhuang Wen with a watery gaze, her pale face gradually regaining some color.
At that moment, Zhuang Wen seemed to transform into a peerless hero, coming to save her!
"ah!"
The other person screamed in fright, turned pale, and ran towards the alleyway exit.
He was so terrified that he scrambled and rolled on the ground, looking utterly pathetic.
Zhuang Wen bent down, picked up a fist-sized stone, tossed it in his hand, aimed, and then threw it hard.
"ah!"
The man screamed and rolled on the ground, clutching his back as his mind was filled with excruciating pain.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and receiving the reward: a 10% chance of being captivating!]
Zhuang Wen's lips curled into a wicked smile.
Against the backdrop of darkness, he resembled an evil god, exuding an arrogant confidence.
Liu Miaoqing's eyes were glued to her; she was completely mesmerized.
"Are you still able to walk?"
Zhuang Wen came to Liu Miaoqing's side and asked her with concern.
"I'm having some trouble."
Liu Miaoqing quickly lowered her head, her fair face flushed red, and her voice was weak, almost inaudible.
Zhuang Wen glanced at her ankle, which she was covering with her hand. The once fair and delicate skin had turned purplish-red and was quite swollen.
Should we call the police?
Zhuang Wen turned to look at the three people he had knocked down with the stone.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the three of them tiptoeing out of the alley.
When they realized that Zhuang Wen had noticed them, they immediately shouted and ran away without a care in the world, quickly disappearing into the alley.
"Forehead."
Zhuang Wen felt somewhat helpless.
Seeing Zhuang Wen's expression, Liu Miaoqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Seeing Liu Miaoqing's light smile, Zhuang Wen shook his head and said, "Come on, let me help you up."
As he spoke, he reached out and supported Liu Miaoqing's slender arm, gently helping her up.
"stop!"
Just then, a sharp shout rang out at the entrance of the alley.
Then, a man in a casual suit ran over quickly.
"elder brother!"
Liu Miaoqing shouted.
The man was well-dressed and handsome, but as soon as he got close, he raised his fist and slammed it at Zhuang Wen.
Clearly, he viewed Zhuang Wen as someone who had wronged his sister.
Whoosh!
Zhuang Wen took a step back, dodging the man's attack, and frowned, asking, "What are you trying to do?"
"You bastard, I..."
The man, panting heavily, cursed loudly.
"Brother, stop hitting him! He saved me!"
When Liu Miaoqing saw that her brother was about to make a move, she immediately stopped him.
"What?!"
The man's eyes widened, wondering if he had misheard.
"That's right, he saved me. He had already driven those people away."
Liu Miaoqing spoke helplessly.
The man frowned at Liu Miaoqing, then looked at Zhuang Wen with a wry smile and quickly apologized, "Sorry, brother, I didn't understand the situation..."
"It's alright, I understand. It's just that concern makes you confused."
Zhuang Wen responded with a smile, his expression calm.
"No matter what, it's my fault."
The man apologized repeatedly, his face sincere.
"It's really nothing."
Zhuang Wen could tell that he was genuinely apologizing to him.
"Thank you for saving my sister. I rushed over the moment she called me. Thank goodness..."
The man sincerely thanked him again: "Brother, leave your name and contact information. If you have any problems in Jianing City, I'll help you..."
"No need, I'm just here on a business trip. I was just trying to help someone who was wronged. Don't worry about it."
Zhuang Wen politely declined his offer.
"You should take your sister to the hospital to get her checked out first."
After handing Liu Miaoqing over to the man, he turned and walked towards the alley entrance.
"Okay, thanks, brother."
The man waved his hand, his goodwill towards Zhuang Wen increasing dramatically, and he secretly vowed that he would definitely have a good drink with him next time he had the chance.
Liu Miaoqing stared at Zhuang Wen's departing figure, remaining silent for a long time.
After walking out of the alley, Zhuang Wen took out his phone and glanced at it; it was 10:30.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
Zhuang Wen muttered to himself, then opened his phone and followed the map navigation back to the hotel.
But as he passed some restaurants, he thought for a moment and went inside.
About half an hour later.
He came out carrying some food.
They took the elevator to Lu Ruxue's room.
