In December, a heavy snowfall instantly covered the previously snow-free Harbor City in a blanket of white, with even the wind carrying a biting chill.
Ye Qin stood in front of the freezer in the supermarket. Among the many ice creams, she chose the one with the most beautiful packaging.
I walked to the cashier and asked, "How much?"
The cashier glanced at Ye Qin, who was wearing thin clothes, and said, "Three dollars and fifty cents."
Ye Qin paid.
The latest news is being broadcast on the supermarket's TV.
Not long ago, a highly secretive underground human trafficking den was busted. According to surveillance footage, the person who first discovered the den, rescued the hostages, and subdued many criminals was a thin young man in a black tracksuit.
However, due to the dimness of the scene and the outdated surveillance equipment, the man's appearance could not be clearly seen.
Ye Qin tore off the beautiful outer packaging of the ice cream and ate it directly. She handed the torn wrapper to the cashier and said, "Please throw it away for me."
The cashier took the wrapping paper, but was surprised to find that the strange girl eating ice cream on a snowy day was also wearing a black sportswear.
Just like the magical man in the news who single-handedly subdued a group of kidnappers and successfully rescued the hostages.
But looking at the girl's neat bangs, long black hair, amber eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and a small teardrop mole under the corner of her eye, set against her fair skin, she was indescribably charming and alluring.
The female cashier was stunned and felt ridiculous that she actually associated such a beautiful girl with the man in black on TV.
They were just wearing the same sportswear. The news was about a man, but the one in front of me was a girl.
"Little girl, don't eat ice cream in such a cold day. Your body can't handle it." The cashier kindly reminded.
Ye Qin sucked on the ice cream and said vaguely, "Thank you."
I opened the door, left the supermarket, and walked with my thin body in the heavy snow.
Ding!
My phone vibrated. It was a text message about a bank account payment.
Ye Qin was sipping ice cream and looking at her phone, walking casually on the snowy road in a thin sportswear.
The passers-by around her couldn't help but look at her.
She clicked on the message, looked at the astonishing amount of money on it expressionlessly, then deleted it and continued to sip her ice cream.
I hadn't taken two steps when my phone rang again, this time it was a call.
"Have you received the money Mr. Lin paid?" a man's voice.
"Yeah." Ye Qin answered vaguely and casually while holding the ice cream in her mouth.
"It seems that Mr. Lin is also a romantic man. In order to save his woman, he is willing to spend a quarter of his wealth." The man joked.
Ye Qin raised her eyebrows slightly, "I'm worth this money."
"Mr. Lin hopes that you can cooperate with him for a long time..." Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Ye Qin hung up the phone directly, turned off the phone and put it in his trouser pocket.
She has to go home quickly because it's grandma's birthday today.
In order to get home as quickly as possible, Ye Qin deliberately chose a small path, but stopped at the entrance of a hidden alley.
Deep in the alley, several obviously well-trained thugs were surrounding an injured and unconscious man.
The leading man in black glared at Ye Qin and warned her coldly, "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Ye Qin's eyes lingered on the handsome face of the unconscious man for a moment. After saying "Oh", she continued walking into the alley.
She hadn't meant to meddle in other people's business, but this alley was the only way for her to get home. As long as she climbed over the wall at the end of the alley, the Ye family would be across the street.
Seeing that the little girl not only did not leave obediently, but continued to move deeper into the alley, the man in black came up to Ye Qin with murderous intent, grabbed her wrist, and pushed her hard, "You don't want to live anymore, right?"
Because of the black-clothed man's actions, the uneaten ice cream in Ye Qin's hand fell directly to the ground.
Looking at the chocolate crisps that she hadn't finished yet, Ye Qin said faintly, "Tsk, what a pity."
"What did you say?" The man in black lost his patience and didn't want to waste any more time. He immediately took out a dagger and stabbed it towards Ye Qin's body. "Little girl, you are unlucky today."
The man in black had a murderous look on his face, and he stabbed Ye Qin with the dagger.
However, just as the dagger was about to pierce the girl's body, a slender little hand firmly grasped the arm of the man in black holding the dagger.
"are you sure?"
The girl's voice came faintly, not loud, but it made the man in black feel creepy for a moment.
The man in black was stunned when Ye Qin suddenly grabbed his arm. When he looked up, he could only see the girl's thick bangs.
He shook his head, thinking that he was ridiculous. He was just a little girl.
The man in black's face became ferocious again, and he exerted force with his arms, trying to stab Ye Qin to death.
But he found that no matter how hard he tried, his arms seemed to be fixed and he couldn't move them at all.
The man in black looked at the girl's slender hand on his arm in shock. It seemed that she was just casually placing it on his arm, as if she was not using any strength, but it made his arm completely powerless.
"It seems that you have bad luck?" The girl's smiling voice came again.
The man in black was startled and raised his head again, but this time he saw not thick bangs, but a pair of strange eyes.
Before the man could react, the powerful force threw him out and his huge body hit the opposite wall.
