At this moment, Yao Tongjia did indeed encounter some thorny problems.
After school in the afternoon, she originally planned to go straight home, but was stopped by her classmate, Meimei.
Meimei was seen clutching her schoolbag tightly, standing to the side sobbing uncontrollably.
After all, the two were classmates, and Yao Tongjia couldn't ignore her, so she went up to her and asked with concern, "Meimei, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Meimei looked up at Yao Tongjia with teary eyes, her voice trembling with tears, "Tongjia, could you take me home on your bicycle?"
"I...I'm on my period, and my pants are soaked. If I walk home like this, people will definitely laugh at me!"
Yao Tongjia followed Meimei's gaze and indeed found traces of what appeared to be menstrual blood on her pants. People are very conservative these days.
If Meimei is allowed to go home like this, rumors will probably spread like wildfire!
Helpless, Yao Tongjia could only press further, "Where do you live? Is it far?"
Meimei quickly replied, "It's not far at all, it's just in that alley ahead, really very close!"
Yao Tongjia thought to herself that the distance should be no different from the distance of her newly bought house.
It takes about half an hour to cycle back and forth.
That way, after delivering the package to Mei, she could get home in time for dinner. So, Yao Tongjia didn't ask any more questions.
He hopped on the bike, with Meimei on the back, and headed towards the street where his alley was located.
However, once they arrived at their destination, Meimei suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "We still have a long way to go!"
Hearing this, Yao Tongjia hesitated. Continuing in this direction would add nearly 20 minutes to the journey.
She instinctively turned her head, intending to let Meimei get out of the car and walk by herself, but at that moment Meimei had already clasped her hands together, putting on a pitiful look and pleading:
"Tongjia, you're so kind of you, you've brought me all this way. Please, just let me ride in your car. It would be too embarrassing for me to walk back alone!"
Yao Tongjia sighed helplessly, stepped on the pedal again, thinking that since she had already delivered it here, she wouldn't mind taking another ten minutes or so.
Little did she know that what happened next was completely beyond her expectations—every time Meimei pointed to a street, Yao Tongjia had to turn into another alley.
If she hadn't had such a good memory, she probably would have been completely disoriented by all these intricate roads.
Seeing Meimei give directions again, Yao Tongjia finally lost her temper: "You kept saying it was very close, but what happened? I've been leading you around Beijing for most of the day!"
"Since you said it's very close, then hurry up and come down. I have to go home; my family is waiting for me to have dinner together!"
This time, Meimei didn't beg Yao Tongjia like before. Instead, she jumped out of the car nimbly and turned to Yao Tongjia, saying:
"Tongjia, thank you so much! It's already dark, please be careful on your way home!"
"If possible, it's best to take the main road; it's safer that way!"
Yao Tongjia looked up at the deepening night, completely ignoring Meimei's instructions, and casually replied, "Okay, I understand, I'll be right back, you should go home too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Tongjia pedaled her bicycle and quickly drove away.
Watching Yao Tongjia's receding figure, Meimei stood still, her lips moving slightly as if she wanted to call out to her, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She silently turned around and slowly walked in the opposite direction from Yao Tongjia.
Yao Tongjia quickened her pace, her heart filled with anxiety: "Oh no, I'm too late! If everyone rushes to the school to look for me and I'm not there, that would be terrible!"
As she thought about it, she pedaled her bicycle furiously.
Just then, Yao Tongjia suddenly slammed on the brakes because she vaguely saw what appeared to be a rope lying across the middle of the road ahead.
Feeling wary, I carefully got off the bike and pushed it forward. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a thick rope!
"That was close!" Yao Tongjia secretly rejoiced that she had stopped in time; otherwise, if she had rushed over, she probably would have tripped over the rope and been sent flying.
She couldn't help but wonder, how did such a rope end up here? Did someone deliberately place it here?
Just as Yao Tongjia was pondering, a group of people gathered around from nowhere.
Their menacing demeanor and cold eyes sent chills down one's spine. Yao Tongjia watched them nervously, thinking, "Judging from this, they don't seem to be after money or want to rape me. Could it be... they're here to take my life?"
Yao Tongjia's heart raced, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead. After all, she was also someone who grew up under the red flag, and she couldn't help but feel afraid when faced with a murderous person!
How can she extricate herself?
Yao Tongjia carefully placed the bicycle against the wall, afraid that it might suffer even the slightest damage.
After all, women's bicycles aren't something you can just buy anytime! After parking her bike, Yao Tongjia couldn't help but have a thought flash through her mind: Did Meimei intentionally lure her to this place?
Seeing that Yao Tongjia actually had the leisure to park her bicycle, one of the men was enraged. He kicked the bicycle and roared, "Your life is almost over, and you still have the mind to mess with your broken bike?"
Seeing her precious bicycle being ravaged, Yao Tongjia felt heartbroken, but she did not do anything because she could smell a strong stench of blood from these people.
She knew that these people in front of her were no good, and she only had one chance to make a move. She had to make sure that she hit the vital point in one fell swoop, otherwise she might not be able to get away unscathed today, and even going home for dinner would be a problem!
At this moment, Yao Tongjia realized that she must never again be a pushover; she had been far too careless this time.
But who exactly wanted to take her life? Was it Ruan Tian? Or Old Mrs. Ruan? Countless questions flooded her mind, leaving her completely baffled.
Yao Tongjia saw that people were gathering around, and the distance was just right!
She covered her nose and mouth with one hand, raised the paper bag in her hand with the other, and quickly spun around. Yao Tongjia silently counted in her mind: one, two, three!
Then the people who rushed to her side all fell down with a thud. Of course, some fell down further away, leaving Yao Tongjia standing alone.
She breathed a sigh of relief. These people were so imposing that she thought she was going to die there. But before she could think any further, she suddenly heard rhythmic running sounds.
Yao Tongjia was startled and grabbed her bicycle to run, but it was too late. People had already surrounded her. Before Yao Tongjia could even scream, she heard a familiar voice:
"Tongtong, what are you doing here?"
