At this moment, he was like a lofty tree providing shelter just in time to escape from the storm.
"Didn't you hear what the lady have said? Let her go!" Jin Xiangdong used a cold voice and commanding tone.
The fierce man wanted to break away, but his hand was caught in Jin Xiangdong's iron grip firmly, and the force encasing his wrist was increasing. The man couldn't help but frown. "I am really her husband!"
"You lied!" Lu Jia'er retorted.
The man's eyes blinked a few times and said helplessly. "How could I lie? Would you like me to go home and fetch a marriage certificate for you?"
"No need for a marriage certificate and you don't have it at all!" Lu Jia'er said coldly.
The man's eyes blinked a few more times. Then he gave Lu Jia'er a glare. "Who said I don't! Who said I don't! You guys are nosy!"
"Let her go first!" Lu Jia'er said.
The man was reluctant to release the girl. Jin Xiangdong increased the force of his grip on the man's hand.
"I'll let go. I'll let go!" In the end, the man had to let go of the girl and Jin Xiangdong slowly loosened his grip.
After the girl was free, she had a conditioned response and instantly hid behind Lu Jia'er. She was shivering with fear.
The man shot a glance at Lu Jia'er and was about to get away. But Lu Jia'er said. "Don't you dare leave. Let's go to the police station!"
On hearing the words the man fled to the right and tried to escape. However, he had only taken two strides before he was stopped by bystanders.
The man was restrained by two tall men. Another person nearby called the police with his mobile phone.
The onlookers expressed their opinions: we thought that "the couple" quarreled but it turned out to be attempted abduction of the girl!
A potential tragedy was resolved just in time. Lu Jia'er turned around and glanced at the shivering girl. She reached out, patted her back gently and softly said,. "It's all right!"
But the situation was reversed in seconds. The man who had been restrained broke loose and darted toward Lu Jia'er. Jin Xiangdong wanted to stop it but was too late as the man suddenly had a sharp knife in his hand and tried to stab him.
Things became chaotic. The onlookers, scared of being hurt, quickly stepped aside.
The fierce man swiftly maneuvered Lu Jia'er into a choke hold. "Go away! Get out of the way!"
Jin Xiangdong had not expected that things would develop like this. His eyes brimmed with concern. He was, of course, good at fighting, but at this moment Lu Jia'er was the person being held hostage. He had to act cautiously or Lu Jia'er might get hurt.
The bystanders immediately gave way to the man, who waved the sharp knife in his hand and shouted beastly. "Go away. Get out of the way!"
Jin Xiangdong was hard on the heels of the man. "Take it easy!"
Lu Jia'er's eyes shone with horror. She could discern the worry in his eyes. She could not help clenching her fists to calm herself down.
The man was about to drag Lu Jia'er to a black car on the road when the police arrived on the spot. Policemen surrounded the man, but no one dared to strike.
The man got close to the car and was about to open the door to force Lu Jia'er into the car, all of a sudden his face became bleak, then he loosened the hand that had seized Lu Jia'er and the knife in the other hand also dropped to the ground.
The police and bystanders were taken aback by the scene.
The police stepped forward and restrained the man and pressed him against a window of the car.
Jin Xiangdong went towards her with large strides and asked, "Professor Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Jia'er, who had been held in a chokehold, coughed a few times and waved to Jin Xiangdong. "I'm fine! I'm fine!"
