"Madam, would you like to take a tricycle?"
"How much does it cost to go to Ruifeng Garden?"
"One dollar and a half."
After hearing the price, Shen Baolan got in the car without saying a word.
The night is not like the day. It is hot during the day and riding a tricycle can get you sunburned.
It is cool at night, and taking a tricycle is more comfortable than taking a taxi. What's more, it only costs 1.5 yuan, while a taxi costs 3 or 4 yuan.
Shen Baolan was enjoying the breeze happily when the tricycle suddenly turned into a remote alley.
"Hey hey hey, you went the wrong way!"
As soon as Shen Baolan finished speaking, the tricycle stopped.
She thought the driver was going to turn around, but the next second he put a cold knife to her neck.
"Don't scream, or I'll stab you to death!"
Shen Baolan was so frightened that she said, "You, don't mess around, I'll give you money, all of it!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out all the money in his bag and stuffed it into the other person's hand, fearing that if he was too slow he would make the other person angry.
"Damn, that's all?"
Shen Baolan had a sad face: "This is all I have..."
There were many people in the dance hall, and there were many people who took advantage of the situation. She only brought enough money for the car fare and drinks every time.
"Give me the necklace, earrings, and ring, or I'll stab you to death!"
Under the threat of the driver, Shen Baolan quickly took off her jewelry and handed it over.
The driver shook the gold jewelry in his hand, smiled with satisfaction, and then his eyes fell on Shen Baolan's chest.
"You have a nice figure. If you play with me, I'll let you go."
Shen Baolan was shocked and angry, but did not dare to refuse.
The cold knife was still on her neck and she was afraid of being stabbed.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
If you can't avoid being stabbed, it's better to stab there than in the neck...
Just as she closed her eyes and prepared herself mentally, she suddenly heard a scream.
When she opened her eyes, she saw two dark figures tangling on the ground. The light in the alley was dim, and she could only barely recognize that one of them was the driver who robbed her, and the other seemed to be...
Before she could think about it, she saw the driver suddenly get up from the ground, pull her out of the tricycle, put her on it and ran away in a hurry.
"Sister Shen..."
Hearing the familiar groan coming from the ground, Shen Baolan was shocked: "Xiao Gao? Why is it you?"
"It's so deep and bleeding so much, will it be okay?"
In the clinic, Shen Baolan could see clearly with the help of the light that Gao Hualiang had a knife wound with his skin turned outward and blood gushing out, and she couldn't help but tremble with fear.
The doctor who received the patient disinfected Gao Hualiang while asking about the cause of his injury.
In a small clinic like theirs, they would conduct routine inquiries and keep records when treating patients with knife wounds.
"I accidentally slipped and cut myself."
Shen Baolan was wondering why Gao Hualiang lied, when she saw him shaking his head slightly at her, so she had to swallow her doubts.
It was half an hour later when I came out of the clinic after the bandage was done.
Shen Baolan was already exhausted. "Xiao Gao, why did you lie to the doctor? And why did you refuse to call the police? A robber like that should be arrested and sentenced to hard labor!"
Gao Hualiang sighed, "Sister Shen, have you forgotten why I came to Fengcheng? I don't want you to follow in my footsteps and get involved with those people in the underworld, and then you won't have peace in the future. It doesn't matter if the money is lost, as long as you are okay."
Shen Baolan was deeply moved when she learned of Gao Hualiang's good intentions.
But soon, Shen Baolan's face changed, "It's over!"
"What's wrong?"
"My jewelry is fake. What if he recognizes me and comes back to take revenge on me?"
It turned out that all the jewelry she bought to look good were fakes. They were made of brass inside and coated with a layer of gold paint on the outside.
Sister, your husband is a millionaire, but you don’t even have a set of gold jewelry. Aren’t you too miserable?
Gao Hualiang was speechless, but he tried to comfort her, saying that when a driver committed a crime, he would usually go out and hide, and when he came back he probably wouldn't recognize Shen Baolan.
Shen Baolan was relieved.
In the next few days, Shen Baolan went to the video store every day to bring soup and medicine to Gao Hualiang.
Gao Hualiang accepted all the instructions without hesitation, and asked Shen Baolan to help wipe his back, saying that the wound could not be exposed to water.
Although Gao Hualiang was thin, his frame was slender and well-proportioned, and was lightly covered with a layer of beautiful white and thin muscles, which made Shen Baolan so greedy that she was dizzy.

He is handsome, has a good figure, and is so infatuated with her. How great it would be if he were her man.
Just when Shen Baolan was immersed in the fantasy of love and unable to extricate herself, Gao Hualiang's attitude changed 180 degrees.
"Sister Shen, please don't come to see me again."
Shen Baolan's head was buzzing.
This feeling is like visiting a friend's house. When you are starving, your friend brings out a table full of delicious food. You pick up your chopsticks to offer your food, but your friend stands up to see you off. You feel angry and anxious, and you are at a loss as to what to do.
"What's going on? Is there anyone gossiping? Who is it? I'll tear her mouth apart!"
"No, why would I be afraid of those?"
Gao Hualiang acted even more distressed than she was, "Sister Shen, you are a good woman, I don't want to hurt you."
"How did you hurt me? It was you who saved me..."
"No, you don't."
"Then tell me, I will understand if you tell me."
"No, I can't say. Sister Shen, please don't ask anymore, I really can't say, I'm not a good person, I deserve to die, wuwuwu..."
As he said this, he actually covered his face and started crying in front of Shen Baolan.
Shen Baolan also cried, she was moved to tears.
For the first time in her life, a man cried for her. Gao Hualiang must have loved her terribly.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Gao. Tell me what's wrong and I'll help you."
After Shen Baolan's repeated questioning, Gao Hualiang told Shen Baolan his true identity with a guilty look on his face, and the fact that he was instructed by Qiao Ya and Zhou Shuhuan.
This truth made Shen Baolan more angry and furious than Shen Mingzhu stealing her man.
"How dare Zhou Shuhuan, that bastard? How could he do this to me? I have suffered so much over the years, and now that he has some money, he wants to kick me out. Don't even think about it!"
Gao Hualiang hugged the furious Shen Baolan tightly and said softly:
"I've been cheating and deceiving people for so many years, and I've never met a woman as kind and considerate as you, Sister Shen. Being with you, I feel at home for the first time."
"I really don't understand what Boss Zhou is thinking. You don't cherish such a good woman like you, but are bewitched by a vixen."
"That woman is not even a finger better than you, Sister Shen. She is just after money. Sister Shen, you deserve a better man and life. Can I help you?"
With Gao Hualiang's comfort, Shen Baolan slowly calmed down, but she no longer trusted Gao Hualiang as much as before.
At this moment, she was like a frightened bird, suspicious and fragile.
"How do I know if you will lie to me again!"
After Gao Hualiang whispered a few words, the suspicion on Shen Baolan's face suddenly disappeared. (End of this chapter)
