Chapter 721: Chapter 720 Shock_1 Chapter 721: Chapter 720 Shock_1 “Stop talking and run.”
Before Ye Mohan could finish speaking, he found an opening and pulled Shen Sichen through. They barged through a few people at the door and began to run wildly through the narrow alleyways.
“Damn it! Chase them down now!”
Spitting, the people behind started a mad chase after the two fleeing figures.
After all, they were heavily outnumbered. Ye Mohan and Shen Sichen weren’t long before they were intercepted.
“Run, why have you stopped running?”
“Big Brother, can you spare me? I will return the money in a few days, I can definitely return it!” Ye Mohan’s legs began to tremble uncontrollably at the sight of the sharp knife overhead, almost peeing himself from fear.
“Spare you, so we can go cold? Do you think we are that easy to fool?” The leader gave a harsh command, and the crowd around him lifted their sticks and began to beat the two ruthlessly.
“If I don’t beat you to death today, I won’t be able to answer to my brothers.”
The eerie screams echoed through the alley, every stick landing on their bodies with no mercy whatsoever.
After what felt like eternity, the leader spit on the ground upon seeing their almost lifeless state, “Why did you borrow the money if you don’t have it! We are teaching you a lesson today. You better return the money the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, you can forget about this leg, remember that!”
Hearing some movement nearby, the crowd dispersed in all directions.
Shen Sichen moaned in pain on the ground, wanted to ask passerby for help but found no one around.
With trembling hands, he fumbled out a shabby second-hand phone, forced his bloody eyes open, and finally managed to dial Qiao Anchu’s number.
“Anchu, hurry to our little rental house. Ye Mohan and I are both injured.”
Unable to explain any further, Shen Sichen ended the call. Liu Ou was actually quite annoyed upon hearing their weak voices. These two were only a burden, nothing useful at all.
Seeing them as some sort of dependents, Liu Ou called a taxi over with impatience.
Soon, the sound of high heels clicking against the ground could be heard. When Liu Ou saw the people lying on the ground, she was stunned speechless.
With a slight frown, Liu Ou reached out to help them up, almost tripping in the process.
“What on earth did I do in my past life to deserve this debt collecting circus?” Liu Ou vented with frustration.
Hearing such words from Liu Ou’s mouth, Ye Mohan felt a chill run through his heart. Ever since he didn’t have the courage to approach Qiao Xiaren in front of the steak house, Liu Ou’s attitude towards him had changed dramatically.
Not to mention gentle, there were no nice words at all.
All the sugary words were gone. The once gentle and kind Qiao Anchu had somehow transformed into this detestable figure. There was no trace of the lively, pure, and kind image anymore.
“Anchu, what are you talking about? We have been protecting you all these years, when have we ever held you back?”
“No money, no power, no influence, and yet you say you didn’t hold me back. From now on, don’t call me unless it’s important.”
Liu Ou dusted off her clothes, a look of disgust on her face.
These two were worth nothing now. As long as she followed Jun’s arrangement, she was sure to make a comeback and restore her brilliance, and at that time what kind of man would be out of her reach?
Shen Sichen was also shocked. He tried to open his eyes to see if this was still the gentle and dignified girl he had been secretly in love with.
