On the other side,
Inside the police station.
Mu Fang looked at the man who was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar with her with complicated emotions.
This person was only imprisoned for a year before being released?
Who else is behind Grand?
"Long time no see, Lily!" A slow smile crept onto Grand's lips, his eyes brimming with greed.
His gaze settled at the hem of her cheongsam, traveling upwards along her beautiful legs.
Mu Fang got goosebumps all over her body. Her eyes were calm, but she was panicking inside.
Grand's gaze was like a snake, climbing up to her, constantly stretching and tightening, and when it landed on her neck, it seemed as if it wanted to stretch out its sharp teeth and bite her.
“This time you won’t be able to escape.” Grand looked away and whispered to her.
Mu Fang ignored him; she was more worried about Li Chengbing now.
Grange's men lured him away.
If she hadn't deliberately tripped up people in the mall, she might be in some unknown place, not at the police station.
She had overheard Lin Ziyan talking to her two younger sisters about safety education, and she had overheard for a while.
So when Grand tried to forcibly drag her away, she smashed the display case.
The mall eventually called the police. Grand followed but didn't dare to do anything too outrageous, which is why she was able to contact the hotel.
“Not going to speak? Lily, you should know I have a million ways to make you speak.” Grand’s eyes were ambiguous, his gaze falling on the teardrop-shaped neckline of her cheongsam.
That patch of snow-white made his mouth dry, and he scoffed inwardly, "Who is he trying to seduce by dressing like this?"
If she can show a submissive attitude, he may soon lose interest in her.
But she seemed resistant, aloof and mysterious, which made him itchy and unwilling to let her go.
The more Grand thought about it, the more his throat felt numb and itchy, and his blood rushed to a spot in his abdomen.
The surrounding noise seemed to disappear.
Mu Fang didn't even look at him; instead, she kept craning her neck to look at the doorway.
I've asked all the questions I needed to. Even if she's willing to pay compensation, she needs a friend or relative here to sign a guarantee before she can leave.
Grand did want to sign, but he couldn't prove that the two knew each other.
Mu Fang refused to say a single unnecessary word to him from beginning to end.
Mu Fang used to think that she should help persuade her friend who had encountered such a scumbag.
But she doesn't think that way anymore.
Grand and her ex-boyfriend were simply a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive; no amount of advice from others could change anything.
Unfortunately, she realized it too late; she had already been targeted by Grand.
"Are you waiting for that friend from last time?" Grand seemed to read her mind, slowly turning the cigarette pack in his hand.
Mu Fang realized something was wrong and squinted at him.
What did you do?
Her voice was cold, and my heart clenched involuntarily.
Grand remained silent, sitting calmly and composed.
…
On the other side,
Lin Ziyan asked the hotel to call a taxi and headed straight to the police station near the mall.
The tall buildings outside the window flashed by quickly, and soon we entered an old alley.
Lin Ziyan glanced at the rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of the driver's sinister and menacing smile.
The chubby girl didn't notice anything amiss and kept looking outside, eager to get to the police station as quickly as possible.
Dust billowed up and quickly obscured the road ahead.
While the driver wasn't looking, Lin Ziyan squeezed the chubby girl's palm and then wrote a few words on it.
We're still within the city limits, so it's not too dangerous yet.
"Driver, how much longer until we arrive?" Lin Ziyan suddenly asked.
Her voice was so anxious that the driver didn't notice anything amiss.
"Ten more minutes." A deep voice came from the front row.
Lin Ziyan saw a shop ahead, which was still open.
"Stop up ahead for a bit, I need to buy some necessities and also use the restroom," Lin Ziyan said, her tone becoming more urgent.
The driver hesitated for a few minutes, glanced around, and saw that there was no one around and nowhere to hide.
He slammed on the brakes. "I'm going to have a smoke. Hurry up."
The chubby girl and Lin Ziyan exchanged a glance and nodded apologetically.
The entire street was closed, and the only shop that was open had only one window open.
"Go to the store and ask for help in a bit, I'll distract them."
"That shop should be owned by Chinese people. Have him call this number and give us the address," Lin Ziyan instructed.
She turned to look at the taxi; the driver was smoking with his head down.
The chubby girl nodded, knowing she couldn't hold anyone back at this time.
Ah Yan also knows some martial arts and can run faster than her.
Separating is the best option for the two of them.
"Run over there quickly and hide behind the signboard for help," Lin Ziyan pointed in a direction.
The chubby girl took off running. It was summer, and the constant chirping of cicadas drowned out the sound of her footsteps.
When the driver lit his cigarette and looked up again, he only saw Lin Ziyan. He wanted to chase after her, but after hesitating for a moment, he got into the car instead.
Lin Ziyan took off running.
You shouldn't run into the alley at this time; the danger inside is no less than that of the driver chasing you.
As the car drove away, the chubby girl hurriedly banged on the window.
A Chinese man leaned out of the window, looking at her warily.
"Please help me call this number and tell him to come here. My friend is in danger..." The chubby girl was almost crying.
She saw the car approaching Lin Ziyan, who was clearly exhausted.
Two legs can't outrun a car.
Lin Ziyan hid between two trees, panting heavily.
"Bang!" The driver got out of the car and slammed the door shut.
A dark shadow fell.
The Buddhist prayer beads on Lin Ziyan's wrist were burning hot, as if foreshadowing danger.
"You Chinese are so cunning. If you want to run away so badly, why don't you run away?" The man's voice completely changed, and he also tore off the mask on his face.
When Lin Ziyan saw his face, her pupils dilated. Impossible…
Surprised?
“If it weren’t for you guys, would I have been able to get plastic surgery again? To get back to my original appearance…” he said, stroking the scars on his face.
Without the protective skin covering his face, his face was grotesque and ghostly.
Lin Ziyan stepped back; the person in front of her wanted to kill her.
“We didn’t provoke you…” Lin Ziyan tried to stall for time.
"initiative?"
“That’s right, I provoked you. Have you ever asked your grandmother why I went after the Lin family?” He smiled, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Lin Ziyan shook her head, observing the buildings beside her. "What does this have to do with my great-grandmother?"
"How can it be unrelated? If it weren't for her, my grandfather wouldn't have been separated from us in the crowd. Our tragedy is all her fault. Good people don't live long, while bad people live well and even get better and better..."
After saying this, he stopped in his tracks, and the madness in his eyes was so intense that it was hard to look directly at him.
Lin Ziyan: "In times of war, countless families are separated by the crowds. Isn't it too biased to blame one person entirely?"
"Shut up!" he suddenly shouted, slowly approaching.
All I could hear was the whistling wind; all the surrounding shops were closed.
Lin Ziyan suddenly turned and ran, her wrist burning as if it were on fire.
A blinding light shone on her, and moments later she felt herself bounce up, her heart plummeting...
"Ayan!" the fat girl roared.
