Xia Wan'an instinctively wanted to cry for help, but the taxi driver seemed to anticipate her next reaction. In one second, he snatched her phone, and in the next, he fiercely covered her mouth with his hand.
Instinctively, Xia Wan'an used her fists and feet in a desperate struggle, but her strength was no match for the brute force of the man. Within a short while, she had been violently subdued and dragged out of the taxi into a pitch-black alley.
This area was secluded even during the day, let alone at night. Growing more terrified, She saw the man pressing her up against the wall of the alley, his full body weight bearing down on her. Despite feeling weak, she resisted with renewed effort.
Perhaps it was the sudden burst of her strength, or maybe it was the driver's momentary negligence, she broke free from his grasp and ran towards the outside of the alley.
