The self-study session for the junior year students usually ended later than other grades. Furthermore, Ye Qiao was always the last to leave. In fact, she always left only after the lights were off. Therefore, there were no students along the road when she went home.
She did not see Lu Beichi tonight. He usually asked to go back with her and said, "I'm protecting you for my brother!"
Did she need him to protect her? He must be kidding!
She often walked along the alleys and took shortcuts to save time. After crossing an alley, her courtyard was just diagonally opposite it.
Ye Qiao could see through the dim light that there were a few figures in the distance. She even saw the scarlet light from their lit cigarettes. She felt that something was not right and quickly turned around. She did not want to get involved with them!
"Hey, pretty lady! Where are you rushing to?!" The person asked roguishly. She could sense that these men were not good people just by hearing their voices.
Ye Qiao pretended not to hear them and continued to pace in the opposite direction.
"F*ck! Don't let her run away!" Another voice was heard. At this moment, another two people popped up from the corner in front of Ye Qiao and blocked her way!
A few bald gangsters were seen walking toward her with nasty smiles on their faces under the dim light.
"What do you want?" Ye Qiao said coldly with arms around her chest.
"Brothers, this little girl is truly superb! This small face of hers is much more beautiful than those female celebrities!" The gangster who led the group looked at Ye Qiao in a predatory way as he spoke to his pack.
He had already reached out his filthy hand toward Ye Qiao, to which she sneered in response. She then grabbed the guy's wrist before he could even touch her face and pressed it hard.
"Ouch… Pain… Pain!" The gangster cried out.
"If you are in pain, then get lost now!" Ye Qiao said viciously and pushed away his filthy hand. She seemed to have pushed him away with brute force, and the gangster slammed into the wall. He screamed again!
"Damn it! You're a joke! You're useless! She's just a girl!" The others drew closer and said mockingly. The next member looked at Ye Qiao in a predatory way as well and coveted Ye Qiao's beauty after he finished speaking.
The girl was so pretty!
"What are you doing? Let her go!" At this moment, another party's voice was heard. It seemed that someone came to her rescue.
She could recognize that voice even if she turned into ashes! It was the b*stard, Shen Xichuan, who had avoided her for so many days!
At this moment, Ye Qiao already understood that Shen Xichuan instructed these people to carry out this deed! Did he think that Ye Qiao was still the same idiot from her previous life?!
"Hurry up and let her go! Do you know who I am?!"
Shen Xichuan was acting like he was so awesome. However, Ye Qiao felt that his acting was extremely bad. He even came here alone out of nowhere. Could he act more realistically? He was not even a match for Lu Beichi!
"Who are you, kid? Mind your own business!"
"I'm Shen Xichuan from the Hai Compound!"
"Boss, this kid is the real deal, let's go quickly!" The gangsters acted along with Shen Xichuan.
***
Ye Qiao felt that they were insulting her IQ!
"Do you think that you can get away after touching my woman? Do you think it's that easy?!" Shen Xichuan said and rushed forward to beat the gangster.
He was fighting against the six gangsters alone!
They pretended to fight back and Shen Xichuan was on the receiving end of a lot of punches. Meanwhile, Ye Qiao just stayed still and watched him get beaten!
He must have hoped that the gangsters would take it easy on him!
"Boss, let's go! We'll be in trouble if the police come!"
"Brothers! Let's go! We are so unlucky tonight!" The lead gangster shouted as they walked toward Ye Qiao.
"You want to leave? Have you asked for my permission?!" Ye Qiao took off her backpack and threw it on the ground. She blocked their path and sneered again.
"Qiao Qiao! Get out of the way! Don't get yourself into trouble!" Shen Xichuan uttered quickly as he fell to the ground.
