The tattooed man finished speaking.
Three scoundrels actually pulled out knives from the steel pipe!
Zhou Chunhua was startled, but Qin Xiuyuan twirled the shovel in his hand and then charged towards the three rascals with a series of rapid movements.
Zhou Chunhua was dumbfounded. Was this... a theatrical performance?
Coming to her senses, she chased after him, grabbed Qin Xiuyuan's arm, and turned to run towards the courtyard gate.
The sudden turn of events caught Qin Xiuyuan off guard, as did the thugs and even the tattooed man sitting on the stone bench.
By the time the tattooed man realized what was happening, she had already pulled Qin Xiuyuan to stand in front of him.
Without saying a word, the hand that was already prepared reached towards the tattooed man's groin area.
Because the coach said that if the opponent is very strong, you have to win in one move.
So she pinched and pulled... and the tattooed man's wail rose to the heavens.
Just like the coach said, this move can subdue a man in less than three seconds.
In addition, her coach also taught her that when there is more than one male opponent, the best option for a woman is to run as fast as possible.
The thugs chasing after her were busy worrying about the tattooed man, which gave her time to open the door.
The moment they rushed out of the courtyard gate, the thugs, knife in hand, chased after them.
Faced with the dark, unlit alleyway, Zhou Chunhua could only follow the route she remembered and drag Qin Xiuyuan along as they ran.
Fortunately, after turning a corner, we could hear the sound of police sirens coming from not far ahead.
The footsteps behind them changed direction at that moment.
She didn't stop, running towards the flickering light in the darkness.
Zhou Chunhua only stopped breathing heavily when she could see Uncle Hat.
Qin Xiuyuan wasn't much better off than her.
After all, they're getting on in years, and anyone who can run like that is in pretty good shape.
"Xiao Zhou, thank you so much..." Qin Xiuyuan gasped for breath, holding her hand. "Please, take them... don't let them smash my... my...!"
Seeing Qin Xiuyuan's anxious yet speechless expression, Zhou Chunhua quickly understood and hurried towards the courtyard with Uncle Hat on her back.
However, by the time they got there, the tattooed man and the thugs had already run away.
The flowers that were blooming beautifully in the yard were all destroyed, and the house was smashed to pieces.
She picked up the dirty photo that had been stepped on and wiped it clean.
He then picked up the shattered picture frame and put it into his briefcase.
While Uncle Hat was searching for people inside and outside, she also cleaned up the food that had been scattered all over the floor.
She straightened the chair, trying to make the place look less messy.
She had just finished tidying up when she saw Qin Xiuyuan standing at the door.
He just stood there blankly, tears streaming down his empty eyes.
"I'm so sorry." Zhou Chunhua was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head. These things were memories of Qin Xiuyuan and his deceased wife. Every seemingly insignificant item must have its own unique imprint.
She regretted it.
If those people hadn't been provoked, this place might not be what it is now.
"Teacher Qin, I'm sorry." She didn't know what else she could say besides "I'm sorry."
Qin Xiuyuan, who hadn't responded, shook his head seemingly casually: "It's nothing, you can go."
“But it’s not safe here,” she said.
The tattooed man suffered such a huge loss; he might come looking for trouble again tonight.
Qin Xiuyuan just smiled and said to her, "It's nothing."
But that smile looked incredibly sorrowful.
Uncle Hat told them to go and give a statement.
Qin Xiuyuan, who was sitting blankly in the room holding the photo, did not respond, so she had no choice but to go with Uncle Hat on her own.
She was still worried on the way.
After thinking it over, it seems that the only person I can ask for help is Gu Yao.
She simply explained the situation, and she was prepared to be scolded by Gu Yao.
Unexpectedly, a concerned voice came from the other end of the phone: "How about you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. But what about Teacher Qin..."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it. You go ahead, I'll come pick you up right away."
After hanging up the phone, the police car stopped.
While giving her statement, Zhou Chunhua sent the video from her phone to Uncle Hat.
Those people absolutely cannot be allowed to get away with it.
This is a society governed by law! Do you really think you can act with impunity just because you dye your hair blonde?!
Uncle Hat said he would investigate thoroughly, and only then did she feel relieved and turn to leave.
When she arrived at the door, she saw Gu Yao waiting there.
Their eyes met, and for the first time, she clenched her teeth in grievance.
"It's okay, I'm here." Gu Yao draped his trench coat over her shoulders.
After taking her home, Gu Yao told her to rest at home for a few days and go back to work next Monday.
She nodded.
"Get some rest. Call me if you need anything."
After Gu Yao left, Zhou Chunhua didn't go to sleep. Instead, she perked up and searched on her phone for places that could repair the photo frame.
Since you made this mess yourself, you should take responsibility for it.
Fortunately, after some effort, we finally found a few places where we might be able to repair the picture frame.
The next day.
She left early with the broken pieces of the photo frame.
...
Law firm.
As soon as Gu Yao stepped out of the elevator, he glanced at Zou Linlin at her workstation.
Feeling the gaze directed at her, Zou Linlin blushed shyly.
Even after Gu Yao went up to the second floor, Zou Linlin's heart was still pounding.
She was so nervous that her hands were trembling as she held the water glass.
"Sister Linlin, Teacher Gu seemed to be looking at you the whole time!"
