The night was eerily quiet.
Li Baobei could clearly feel the thug's filthy hands reaching towards her little by little. A strong stench filled the air and made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
As the repulsive hand was about to touch her skin, Li Baobei could no longer endure it.
In an instant, she opened her eyes wide, her eyes filled with shock and anger.
At this critical moment, the criminals were completely unprepared for what was happening. They were stunned and stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the whole scene became unusually quiet, with only the tense breathing and heartbeats of people clearly audible.
Taking advantage of the situation, Li Baobei grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it hard at the assailant.
Immediately afterward, she turned and rushed toward the door without hesitation, wanting to escape this terrible place as quickly as possible.
"save……"
The sound stopped abruptly.
She had only run a few steps when the thugs behind her came to their senses.
He moved with incredible speed, instantly sealing Li Baobei's pressure points, rendering her unable to utter a sound.
Then, the assailant quickly picked up Li Baobei and jumped out of the window together...
Just then, Dongfang Yerong, who was standing nearby, keenly caught a faint, almost imperceptible sound coming from Li Baobei's room next door.
His heart tightened, and he immediately jumped out of bed, rushing towards Li Baobei's room.
Arriving at the door, he gently knocked, making a crisp and rhythmic "knock knock knock" sound.
Standing outside the door, Dongfang Yerong took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but the anxiety in her heart surged like a tidal wave.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Nannan, are you alright?" His voice was filled with concern and anxiety.
Although he was extremely anxious and afraid that something had happened to Li Baobei, he was also worried about disturbing her, so he suppressed his inner panic and tried his best to keep his tone gentle and calm.
The room was quiet as usual. Dongfang Yerong immediately knew that something was wrong. He kicked open the tightly closed door, but the room was empty and there was no one there.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the open window.
The window was wide open, like an endless black hole.
Suddenly, an overwhelming fear surged into my heart, like a tidal wave.
Dongfang Yerong felt as if her body had been drained, leaving her weak and trembling.
Nan Nan, you absolutely cannot get hurt!
He prayed silently in his heart, his voice filled with a hint of despair and prayer.
In an instant, a nimble figure darted out of the window like a bird in flight.
The figure moved with lightning speed, chasing after the direction where Li Baobei had disappeared without hesitation.
The wind whistled in my ears, and the white hem of my dress fluttered in the wind, as if I had become one with the heaven and earth.

In the dead of night, when all was quiet, He You suddenly received a secret letter from the South.
His heart tightened, knowing the situation was urgent, and he immediately summoned his shadow guards to prepare to rush back to the Southern City that very night.
The group hurriedly embarked on their journey home, the carriage speeding along the empty streets, the crisp sound of hooves echoing through the night sky, as if the whole world was left with only this lonely melody.
"An assassin!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise broke the silence.
Before the words were finished, the war slave beside the carriage leaped up swiftly, soaring onto the roof like an eagle.
He looked closely and saw a dark figure carrying a woman and running wildly across the rooftop.
The thugs suddenly saw the burly man appear on the roof and inwardly cursed their misfortune.
He thought he could take this beautiful woman away without anyone noticing, but unexpectedly, a shrew appeared out of nowhere, trying to double-cross him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he made a quick decision to abandon the fight, hoisted the beauty on his shoulder, and fled in the other direction.
However, the slave's speed was beyond imagination, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown in front of the villain.
His eyes were filled with coldness and cruelty, flashing with a chillingly bloodthirsty light.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, the thugs knew they would have no chance of escaping today, but they still clung to a sliver of hope and tried to slip away from the war slaves.
At this moment, Li Baobei wanted to shout for help. She struggled with all her might, but she was powerless to call for help because she could not make a sound.
He could only watch helplessly as this disgusting thug carried him, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.
Why does this scene feel so familiar?
