Love You Forever - Chapter 268 Too Much Defense
There was a window in this room, and two pieces of glass were broken. If the wind blew, it would definitely pour in through the window, freezing to death. Fortunately, it was very hot this day, or I would have caught a cold.
I looked out the window. The empty yard was small and empty. There was nothing but some debris in the corner of the wall. I wanted to slip out of the door, but I was afraid of bumping into someone. I simply went through the window.
My heart was pounding, and my feet landed on the ground. I was like a gecko against the wall, half squatting.
I stared intently at the door about four meters away from me, ready to charge over. Just as I was exerting all my strength, a voice came from the door. I was so silly. In my case, how could no one look at me?!
I wanted to hide or flip back through the window, but it turned out that I was thinking too much. It was not feasible and there wasn’t enough time, so I bumped into the person who pushed the wooden door.
I was thinking about what expression I should use to face them. Before I was ready, my facial muscles started to laugh uncontrollably. There were two men on the other side. One looked old and had white hair all over his neatly shaved inch, and the other had greasy hair. If he wasn’t dressed carelessly, I would have thought he was a boss.
The two of them looked at me and smiled at them in a daze. Then they looked at each other. The old man shouted in this dialect at the top of his voice. A man ran out of the house behind me, probably the third son of his mouth. He was kicked to the ground.
I took a deep breath. Even ten swords won’t give me any sense of security.
I folded my hands and smiled at them, “Big brothers, I’m here to travel. If you want money, I can give it to you. Please, let me go.”
“Want to leave? It’s not that easy.” The old man glared at me and said in awkward mandarin.
I swallowed and my fingertips trembled. “I can give you money, or I can get my family to send you money. You can do whatever you want. Really, let me go. I promise I won’t call the police. Just pretend that nothing happened today.”
It’s not dark yet, it’s going to be dark. If I can’t run away now, I don’t know what they’re going to do to me at night.
I looked at the greasy man who hadn’t spoken. “Big brother, you can trust me. Lend me your phone. I can call my family in front of you.”
I was really afraid of what they would do to me. I was unfamiliar with the world and had a wicked nature. I had only lived a small part of my life. I couldn’t stay here.
The two men whispered something together.
I immediately touched the watch on my wrist and the necklace in my neck. The watch was not expensive. I bought it at the stall. It was only thirty yuan. The necklace was more expensive. The chain was silver, but the diamond pendant was real, although not big.
“The diamond on this necklace is real. I’ll give it to you. You let me go. I can give you bigger diamonds and more money. My husband is still waiting for me at home. I still have children. You can take it as a good deed and let the three of us get together.”
The third son took the necklace over and the greasy man took a look at it. As soon as he opened his mouth, I froze. His voice was especially hoarse, as if it had been smoked. “I want you to call. I want 500,000.”
I nodded like a peck of rice. “No problem, no problem.”
I prayed in my heart that the older man would come and hand me my cell phone. The older man took out a cell phone from his arms. It was an old man’s cell phone. It sounded so loud that he asked sanzi to hand it to me.
Frustrated, I pretended not to understand and asked, “How do I unlock this?”
“Bitch, smartphones have been used for so long that they don’t even know how to use old phones.” The old man rushed over angrily. I was so scared that I hid behind the third son and pretended to be scared. In fact, I was really scared too. What if he kicked me in the stomach, regardless of the importance? Were they human? I can’t count on it.
I took advantage of the time he unlocked me, reached into my pocket and touched my knife. My eyes hardened, and no matter how shaky my hand was, I stabbed the old man in the neck.
Blood splattered all over my face.
“You…” The man pointed at me, his face filled with astonishment.
“I pierced his artery. You guys have to get him to the hospital. He’s still alive, or he’ll bleed to death.” I held back my trembling desire. Look, I told them.
The greasy man stepped forward to hold the man, and the younger third son was already scared out of his wits.
Blood was flowing, life was calculated in minutes, and the greasy head man gave me a hard look. At this time, I couldn’t care less and ran towards the door.
I was glad to be outside for a moment, but I still didn’t dare to relax.
I don’t have a cell phone, and I don’t know the way. I try to run to places where the lights are dense and there are many people, but I’m really not familiar with this place.
I was so anxious that I wanted to cry, but I didn’t dare to ask anyone easily, so I had to run by myself. My head was covered in sweat, and my clothes were stuck to my body with sweat. It was very uncomfortable, and my whole body was on fire.
I didn’t know how long I had been running, but I finally ran out of the alley.
I didn’t dare to go back to the hotel, and I didn’t remember Tan Jie’s call, but I had everything in the hotel, and I couldn’t even leave. I found a taxi and asked him to take me to the police station. I remembered that our bar hung up on the internet, and I borrowed the police’s phone to find the phone number of the bar. I called Tan Jie and asked him to pick me up overnight.
The police accompanied me to the hotel to get my luggage. I didn’t expect them to investigate this thoroughly. I just wanted to get out of here.
What happened just now was too exciting for me to bear the second time.
I sat at the police station, holding a disposable cup, waiting for Tan Jie to pick me up. Nancheng to Xi’ an was very fast. Tan Jie came all the way without delay, and he arrived before dawn.
“How is it?” He squatted in front of me the moment he entered.
I shook my head. “I’m fine. I stabbed someone with a knife. The police went to the hospital and found no one. Tan Jie, more is better than less. Let’s go.”
“Okay, let’s go back first.”
My mood was not suited to continue the investigation here. Anyway, the police had a record, so Tan Jie and I booked a ticket and left.
I didn’t say anything on the way. Tan Jie asked me if I was scared out of my wits.
I nodded. “They didn’t do anything to me, but in order to run out, I stabbed a man with a knife. Blood was gushing out. It looked scary. I was afraid he wouldn’t survive.”
“That’s what he deserves. He deserves to be hostile and murderous to you. You should defend yourself. Even if you are being fooled, he deserves it. I don’t know how many people will be harmed by such a bad person in the world.”
Tan Jie’s words relieved me a little.
“By the way, where’s Eli? What about her?”
