"Ah Yu, go quickly, don't worry about me!" Zhong Hua shouted anxiously.
"I won't abandon you!" Ah Yu gritted her teeth and continued fighting the man in black.
Just as the situation became critical, a police car arrived with sirens blaring. It turned out that local police had received an anonymous report that a group fight had broken out. Upon seeing this, the men in black, not daring to linger, scattered and fled.
