Chapter 598 Escape Failure
"It's pitch black here. If I stop you, what else do you think I can do?" the man said with a lewd grin as he approached.
Zhou Qiao swallowed nervously. Oh my god, she had really been robbed!
As the person approached, she put down her backpack without saying a word and started taking things out: "Brother, brother, let's talk this out. Here's my bank card, here are some pieces of jewelry, here are a few hundred yuan in cash that I carry with me... Take whatever you want, I know it's not easy for anyone traveling." Zhou Qiao said cowardly.
Her grandfather taught her from a young age that she should not confront bad people head-on, that money is just an external thing, and that nothing is more important than life!
In no time, Zhou Qiao's bag was completely emptied, and all the valuables were laid out on the ground. The "robbers" opposite her were dumbfounded.
This girl... why doesn't she play by the rules?
His orders were to act as a robber, threatening and intimidating the girl and pretending to be a bad guy. He figured the girl would run away first, and then he could use all his skills to complete the mission successfully!
As a result... now that the girl has confessed everything, how can he possibly steal it now?!
The air fell silent for a moment. The man in the yellow jacket coughed lightly and said, "Who, who wants this pile of junk? You think you can give me a few hundred dollars to beggars?"
"Oh, there's a bank card too!" Zhou Qiao pointed to the card on the ground: "I can tell you the PIN!"
Yellow Jacket: "..."
He took a deep breath and deliberately acted fierce, saying, "Can't you understand me? I said, I don't want any of these!"
Zhou Qiao's eyes widened in horror: "You don't want the money? Are you trying to rape me?!"
She took two steps back and crossed her arms: "No, no, big brother, to be honest, I'm only thirteen this year. You'll be spending your whole life in jail. Besides, I have no experience in this area, so I definitely can't make you happy. Big brother, once you take my money, you can find whatever kind of woman you want!"
The man in the yellow jacket deliberately lowered his voice and sneered, "Stop talking nonsense, I've got my eye on you!"
As he spoke, he lunged at Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao turned to run, but the latter was faster, catching up in a few strides and grabbing her rabbit backpack.
Zhou Qiao was pulled and stumbled, almost falling over.
The man in the yellow jacket slammed her against the wall, grabbed her neck, and said viciously, "If you know what's good for you, then shut up, do you hear me!"
"Waaah, big brother, don't kill me!" Zhou Qiao was held down and struggled instinctively.
"Dare to struggle, or I'll strangle you!" Huang Jiajie was under orders, threatening verbally but not daring to actually use force.
But Zhou Qiao screamed in terror, "Help! I... I can't breathe..."
The man in the yellow jacket was taken aback. He didn't seem to have used much force. Was this girl's reaction too intense?
The next second, Zhou Qiao seemed to realize what was happening, paused abruptly, blinked, and looked at him: "Didn't you eat? Why aren't you exerting any effort?"
Yellow Jacket: "?"
He was faking a robbery, what if he actually strangled someone to death with his force!
But now that the arrow is on the bowstring, it seems like we have no choice but to exert force.
He was about to strangle her when he made a snap decision. Zhou Qiao's eyes widened in surprise. At that moment, there was a muffled thud, and the yellow jacket collapsed limply in front of her.
Zhou Qiao stared blankly at the "female knight" wielding a stick who had appeared out of nowhere, speechless for a moment.
Just now...did this woman knock the robber unconscious with a single blow?!
Seeing Zhou Qiao's surprised expression, Wen Luoyun concluded that she was overly frightened, grabbed her hand, and ran outside.
By the time Zhou Qiao belatedly realized what was happening, they had already returned to the lantern festival.
Both of them were panting heavily.
Wen Luoyun threw down the stick in her hand and looked at Zhou Qiao: "How are you? Are you alright?"
"Cough cough cough, it's alright, thank you, sister..." Zhou Qiao coughed for a while before she could catch her breath. Realizing that she was out of danger, she quickly thanked her, "Thanks to you for saving me, otherwise I would have been strangled to death by that robber!"
Wen Luoyun looked worried: "Why are you walking alone in such a remote alley? It's the end of the year, you can run into all sorts of people. If I hadn't happened to pass by, you would have been bullied!"
Zhou Qiao's face fell immediately upon hearing this.
Why did she leave? Wasn't it to escape the great demon Qin Feng?
In the end, it's all his fault!
Suppressing her grievances, she looked at Wen Luoyun and said sincerely, "My name is Zhou Qiao. I came here to see the lanterns today. I originally planned to stay at a nearby hotel, but I didn't expect to be robbed on the way. Anyway, thank you so much this time. Sister, you are beautiful and kind-hearted. May I tell you your name? I will repay you properly when I have the chance!"
Wen Luoyun smiled and said, "My name is Xu Ruoyun. You look quite cute, and you're not very old, are you? You have to be careful when you go out alone in the future. Don't go to deserted places so late at night. It's very dangerous."
Zhou Qiao now felt a chill run down her spine and nodded hurriedly, "I'd rather take a bigger risk than ever take such a shortcut again!"
"Adventure?" Wen Luoyun looked puzzled.
"Sigh, it's a long story," she said, remembering something with fear. "But speaking of which, Sister Xu, you were too brave just now! You hit that guy with a stick... Were you too heavy-handed? Did you kill him?"
A hint of unease flashed across Wen Luoyun's face before she said, "Don't worry, I controlled my strength. Actually, I was terrified myself. I just went for it in one go. I definitely wouldn't dare to do it again now."
Zhou Qiao was still immersed in the thrill of escaping from the jaws of death and didn't notice Wen Luoyun's strange expression. She immediately grabbed Wen Luoyun's hand and said emotionally, "Sister Xu, you are such a brave and kind person! Let's exchange contact information. I, Zhou Qiao, am determined to be your friend!"
"Okay." Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Wen Luoyun smiled and took out her phone to bring up a QR code: "Just scan it."
After adding him as a friend, Zhou Qiao smiled and was about to say something when she heard a chilling voice with an imposing aura rang out from not far away: "Zhou Qiao."
Upon hearing that all-too-familiar voice, Zhou Qiao's first reaction was—oh no, the Great Demon King has come looking for us.
She was so busy celebrating her survival that she forgot about her predicament of being surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind, and for a moment she completely forgot about the big devil looking for her.
She glanced guiltily into the distance and saw that not only Qin Feng, but also Kong Wange and her group were there.
Upon seeing her, Kong Wange hurriedly went to greet her: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you? Weren't you going to the restroom? Why are you outside?!"
Zhou Qiao murmured, "I... I just wanted to come out and see."
"Zhou Qiao," Qin Feng suddenly spoke, looking at her, "you're still leaving, aren't you?"
Zhou Qiao's eyes were red and she remained silent for a moment before gritting her teeth and looking up at him: "Yes, I'm leaving. You've locked me in the shadow gate, not letting me out a single step every day. What's the difference between that and keeping a canary in a cage?!"
