Wen Yujing had been influencing her on a daily basis. Sparsely populated places like this were extremely suitable for robbery.
That's a scene straight out of a television drama!
Her body was all tensed up and stiff as she leaned against the wall and waited for the two men to pass her by.
The two men smoked cigarettes and stared at her, seemingly checking her out as they slowly walked past her.
Although it had only been less than a minute, it felt as if a century had passed.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Jiang Lingzhi, who had been holding her breath for a long time, finally heaved a sigh for a while, but before she could even relax completely, she suddenly heard a sound…
"Hello, little girl?"
The voice came out suddenly from her behind.
Half of Jiang Lingzhi's body stiffened, and she was frightened out of her wits. When she tried to take two steps to the side, she accidentally stepped on a raised brick on the ground, sprained her ankle, and fell to the ground.
"Ah..."
She fell onto the cobblestone path helplessly.
Realizing that the two men had returned again after leaving, she kept her guard up and held up her backpack. "You guys, don't come here!"
She had 400 yuan in cash with her right now, which she could give them if they really wanted it.
The two men looked at each other and froze in place, seemingly not expecting her to have such a huge reaction.
Jiang Lingzhi's ankle was a little painful, and her heart rate began increasing all of a sudden. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and at one point, she even thought that she was going to die right there!
The two men were about to approach her, each with a mysterious look on their faces.
She suddenly heard a lazy and sluggish voice.
"What are you doing?"
There was a tinge of weariness in his unconcerned tone.
It was now dusk, and the teenager was standing right at the end of the alley. The last rays of the setting sun scattered all over his body, and he was standing against the light. Hence, his face could not be seen clearly. He was holding a cigarette between his fingers, which was burning with a scarlet flare.
Donning a white shirt and black trousers, he looked dashing and tall. He threw the cigarette in his hand onto the ground and snubbed it.
When she heard his voice, Jiang Lingzhi froze in shock. All she could hear were the sounds of her heartbeat getting amplified infinitely.
The two men obviously knew the teenager. Instead of approaching Jiang Lingzhi, they smiled and walked over to him.
"Brother Nan."
"What a coincidence, Brother Nan."
The two of them walked over and handed him a cigarette.
After grabbing the cigarette, Li Shunan raised his chin with a nonchalant look and asked slowly, "What's going on?"
Jiang Lingzhi's heart was beating like a drum, and she still had not calmed down from the fright that she had gotten. She looked over timidly in the direction of the voice and was rather dumbfounded and confused.
She still had not... gotten over the complicated emotions that she felt from running into her debtor.
In the end, the few of them started chatting with one another joyously.
'They actually know each other?'
However, she was not too surprised. After all, those were the type of people who surrounded him on the bus that day!
Afterward, she heard one of them say, "I saw a little girl who looked really unfamiliar. This alley has too many nooks and crannies, it can get confusing for first-time visitors who will definitely get lost. Well, we have to be helpful and kind citizens. We were just about to ask her if she needed help, but surprisingly, she fell down."
He described honestly with some confusion.
Jiang Lingzhi was speechless.
Jiang Lingzhi could not hear clearly what else they said.
All she knew was that she was having complicated emotions.
They were extremely complicated!
She also felt a little awkward.
