Chapter 95 Almost had her innocence tarnished again
The humiliating night from three years ago instantly flooded back to my mind.
The same moonlight, the same menacing face!
She still finds it unforgettable and feels fear even now.
At that time, she went to Jingci Temple outside the city to pray for Shen Rongzhi's parents and offer incense, but was kidnapped by bandits on the way.
When she woke up, she was tied up in a thatched hut. She struggled desperately, and the man in front of her kicked her several times, saying fiercely, "Behave yourself!"
After saying that, his eyes rolled back and forth over her body, his Adam's apple bobbing greedily, and he leaned closer with a lewd grin: "What a stunning young lady you are. If it weren't for the fact that I'm saving your virginity for the boss, I would have slept with you long ago."
"Pah, shameless scoundrel."
Lu Zhaoruo's eyes were filled with hatred.
Enraged, the burly man kicked her in the chest, yelling, "You slut! You're asking for it!"
Seeing that she was still curled up and refused to beg for mercy, he raised his hand and slapped her across the face: "When the boss gets tired of you... I'll kill you..."
Lu Zhaoruo didn't wake up from the excruciating pain until late at night, only to see a man wearing a veiled hat burst through the door...
So, this man is the leader he was talking about.
Later, that man defiled her, but inexplicably let her leave.
When she escaped the thatched hut, there was no one in sight, only a faint smell of blood in the air.
Lu Zhaoruo's heart pounded like a drum. Suppressing her fear, she lowered her head, pulled her cloak hood down even further, and tried to quickly walk past the burly man, saying in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, the night road is difficult to travel..."
Suddenly, the burly man was overcome with lust and grabbed her cloak: "Young lady, don't be in such a hurry..."
His rough hand then pinched her waist hard.
Lu Zhaoruo cried out in pain, her hood slipped off, revealing a pale but still beautiful face.
"Damn it! It's you?"
The burly man, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, leaned closer, then suddenly widened his gaze, his strong smell of alcohol hitting her face. "That fiery slut from three years ago!"
He gripped her wrist tightly, grinning to reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth: "I never expected this, I never expected to run into you here! I failed three years ago, tonight I'm going to have a good taste..."
Lu Zhaoru clenched her fingers and suddenly bent her knee, aiming it at his groin...
"hiss."
He turned and ran away the instant the burly man cried out in pain and let go.
A burly man roared angrily from behind: "When I catch you, I'll kill you!"
Lu Zhaoruo was cornered at the end of a dark alley, with nowhere to escape.
She looked at the burly man with fear as he approached with a lewd grin, saying, "Run? Where do you think you're going?"
Suddenly, she yanked out the silver hairpin from her temple, its sharp tip pointing directly at the burly man. Her eyes were brimming with tears, yet those tears stubbornly clung to her eyelashes, refusing to fall, which only made her gaze appear even clearer and more resolute: "You dare touch me and see what happens!"
The burly man was aroused by her tearful yet resentful appearance, and grinned lewdly: "Tsk tsk, you've become even more alluring in three years... This tearful little face makes me want to pull you into my arms right now!"
He pounced like a hungry tiger, easily grabbing her wrist with his large hand.
The silver hairpin clattered to the ground, but he deliberately used his rough fingertips to caress the delicate skin on her wrist, and with a lewd grin, he leaned in to smell the fragrance on her neck.
Fortunately, Lu Zhaoruo had been diligently practicing martial arts since her rebirth, and immediately threw a punch at him, managing to escape successfully...
However, he still tore half of his sleeve, exposing a section of his snow-white arm to the cold air.
Lu Zhaoruo disregarded her disheveled state, quickly retreating a few steps and bracing herself against the cold wall. Her eyes were still wet with tears, but her gaze was as sharp and ruthless as a knife, piercing straight at the other person.
The burly man spat and grinned, "You're pretty good at dodging, aren't you? The more you do that, the more exciting it is!"
He was a seasoned bandit, with a muscular physique and hidden martial arts skills.
Although Lu Zhaoruo's body was not as weak as other young ladies, she was still no match for brute force. He kicked her in the waist and abdomen, causing her to curl up on the ground in pain.
The burly man rubbed his hands together as he approached, about to tear open her collar.
Suddenly, a dark figure darted from the alley entrance!
"presumptuous!"
With a loud shout, the burly man was grabbed by the back of his neck, lifted up, and slammed to the ground!
He staggered to his feet and cursed angrily, "Which blind fool dares to ruin my good time?"
The two immediately started fighting.
However, the newcomer was highly skilled, his punches and kicks whistling through the air, and in just a few moves he knocked the burly man to the ground again.
Next, he took out his waist knife and precisely pressed it against the burly man's neck.
The burly man, having mostly sobered up, caught sight of the other man in the uniform of a patrol inspector, and his face turned ashen.
Lu Zhaoruo looked up and saw that it was Deputy Inspector Sun!
"To bully a woman in the street, what audacity!"
Deputy Inspector Sun shouted, his face ashen.
The burly man's legs went weak with fear: "Sir, spare my life! I've had too much to drink and I'm dizzy..."
Deputy Inspector Sun didn't even look at him. He turned his head to inquire about Lu Zhaoruo, but his gaze just happened to sweep over her bare, snowy shoulders.
Lu Zhaoruo immediately clutched the tattered fabric to cover her skin, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her pale face.
Deputy Inspector Sun quickly looked away, his ears burning slightly, but his voice was soft and gentle: "Madam Lu, were you frightened? Are you hurt?"
Lu Zhaoruo stood up, leaning against the wall, and shook her head.
She took a few steps forward, her gaze fixed fiercely on the burly man: "You beast were among the people who kidnapped me back then."
Let her be defiled, let her reputation be ruined! Let her live in the shadow of pain...
Upon hearing this, Deputy Inspector Sun's eyes turned cold, and he pressed his waist knife down without hesitation.
The sharp blade sliced through the flesh in an instant, and blood gushed down the burly man's neck.
Deputy Inspector Sun had naturally heard about this matter; it was known to almost everyone in Yong'an County, but as time went by, no one mentioned it anymore.
Lu Zhaoruo gritted her teeth in hatred, suddenly picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard on the strong man's head, causing blood to gush out.
The burly man let out a piercing scream.
Deputy Inspector Sun had never seen a woman so fierce before, and he was stunned.
The night wind, carrying the stench of blood, swept through the alley, ruffling Lu Zhaoruo's disheveled hair. Standing under the moonlight, her face was as white as porcelain, only her eyes burning with a terrifying fire as she stared intently at the burly man who was groaning incessantly: "Tell the truth if you want to live. Where is your boss hiding? What's his name?"
Although the person who would defile her would appear in about two years, she still wanted to know in advance.
The burly man asked in bewilderment, "Young lady, didn't our leader die back then?"
"Dead?"
Lu Zhaoruo was shocked.
That person reappeared two years later, and even ridiculously said he wanted to marry her...
"Explain yourself! What do you mean by 'already dead'?"
Lu Zhaoruo questioned.
Deputy Inspector Sun also shouted sternly, "Speak quickly!"
The burly man shuddered in fright, blood streaming down his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it away. He hurriedly said, "Back then, we robbed you but didn't touch you. We were waiting for our boss. The boss did come in the dead of night, but he was followed by a man wearing a veil. That man was incredibly skilled in martial arts; he pierced the boss's heart in less than three moves! We rushed to stop him, but we were all cut down like vegetables..."
He said in a trembling voice, "I was the only one who managed to escape..."
Lu Zhaoruo felt a buzzing in her head and swayed, almost falling over.
It turned out that the man was not the bandit leader at all. He killed all the bandits, but then turned around and defiled her.
What's this?
The "hero" who slaughtered a bandit's den to "see injustice" turned around and assaulted a woman in distress?
The burly man begged for mercy, saying, "My lady, please understand! We really didn't touch you with a single finger! You know it's all that man's doing... Please spare my worthless life! I was drunk just now and had lustful thoughts... Look, you've beaten me until my head is bleeding."
"You raped and injured people, how could I forgive you!"
Lu Zhaoruo said to Deputy Inspector Sun, "I would like to trouble you, Lord Sun, to escort this villain to the county government office!"
The burly man was terrified upon hearing this. He had escaped death three years ago; how could he possibly go back to jail?
In his panic, he blurted out, "Madam Lu! We were bribed and were acting under orders back then..."
