Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Wan trembled, her head shaking vigorously in protest.
Disgust and hatred for these men filled her thoughts. They were depraved and vicious, and she longed to escape their clutches, but…
Upon observing Lin Wan’s silence, one burly man turned to another, urging, “Brother, now that she’s awake, let’s not waste any time. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave.”
“Yes, big brother, let’s get to it!”
Suddenly, one of the burly men walked toward Lin Wan.
Lin Wan’s heart sank after hearing their words and discerning the intentions in the man’s expression and gaze.
“No, stay away, don’t…” She shouted frantically, her anxiety threatening to bring her to tears.
“Don’t be frightened. I’ll take care of you,” the burly man said soothingly to Lin Wan.
“No, go away, get lost!” Lin Wan’s entire body quivered uncontrollably. Her eyes widened, her nerves on edge.
As the man drew nearer, many emotions surged within Lin Wan.
Fear, panic, and despair!
Just as the man was mere steps away, Lin Wan suddenly extended her arms and began striking out, tears streaming down her face as she cried, “Go away, leave me alone, go away!”
The burly man’s patience waned after witnessing Lin Wan’s frantic resistance. He reached out, intending to grasp her arm, but before he could make contact…
A resounding gunshot echoed through the factory, halting the burly man’s outstretched hand in mid-air.
His companions, who had initially reveled in the situation, were stunned into silence by the sudden, sharp report. Blood welled from a wound on their big brother’s back.
At the factory entrance, You Luan stood with his gun, watching as the burly man collapsed to the ground beside Lin Wan.
Xiao Yichen, still some 20 meters from the entrance, accelerated his pace upon hearing the gunshot.
Upon reaching the factory entrance, Xiao Yichen scanned the scene and rushed toward the distraught little woman.
Lin Wan’s frantic actions continued her cries of “Go away, leave me alone”.
Her voice was now weaker than before.
Xiao Yichen reached Lin Wan and immediately knelt, paying no heed to her resistance. He extended his arms and embraced her tightly.
Initially mistaking Xiao Yichen for one of her assailants, Lin Wan fought him off with even greater desperation.
“Stay away, don’t touch me, go away!” she screamed with all her might.
“It’s me, Wan’er, it’s me,” Xiao Yichen reassured her urgently, his heart heavy with anguish.
How has it come to this? How has my beloved little woman ended up in such a dreadful predicament?
Who could have done this?
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s voice, Lin Wan ceased her resistance and stared ahead in disbelief. After a few seconds, she called out, “Ah Chen?”
“Yes, it’s me, me,” Xiao Yichen replied promptly.
With that confirmation, Lin Wan’s trembling ceased, and she collapsed into Xiao Yichen’s arms, her hands reaching out to clasp his waist.
“All Chen, 1 am so scared. I am terrified,” Lin Wan admitted, her sense of relief palpable. The facade of strength she had clung to had crumbled, leaving her utterly vulnerable.
With Ah Chen by her side, she felt the warmth of his embrace, yet the harrowing memories of what those men had intended still haunted her.
“Be at ease, don’t be afraid. It’s going to be alright, I promise,” Xiao Yichen reassured her, his arms encircling her protectively..
