Chen Ziyang looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw a girl kneeling on the ground in a cramped, dimly lit alleyway, with two burly men punching and kicking her.
"I give you food to eat, so you've got to make money for me!"
One of the bald men cursed as he continued to hit her.
The girl being beaten knelt on the ground holding her head, not making a sound, as if she were already accustomed to this treatment.
Because the alley was so dark, Chen Ziyang couldn't make out the girl's face, but her tight-fitting work clothes emphasized her hot figure.
Especially her chest, which was even more spectacular than that of Sister Mei's.
"Freak! If you dare offend a customer today, I swear I won't be surnamed Zhou if I don't beat you to death!"
The bald man, panting heavily, slapped the girl hard on the head.
"Brother Zhou, I came here to be a waitress, not to sell myself."
The girl kept her head down, her voice was quite sweet, but it was filled with defiance.
Brother Zhou's eyebrows shot up when he heard this.
"You fucking dare to talk back to me?!"
The bald man suddenly grabbed the girl's hair and yanked her face up.
Chen Ziyang was also taken aback.
A girl with such a sweet voice and such a hot body, but with a terrifying face!
The girl's face was all scarred from burns, without a single piece of good skin; it was hideous and horrifying.
It was truly the body of a devil, with the face of a devil.
After the girl's face was revealed, contempt flashed unmistakably in Brother Zhou's eyes.
"Calling you a freak is a compliment! You are a monster! With that disgusting face of yours that makes people want to vomit, any man who touches you is doing you a favor! And you're not happy about it?"
Brother Zhou roared, "I'm asking you! Can they touch you or not?!"
"They cannot!"
Although the girl's face was burned, her eyes were extraordinarily clear, "I may be ugly, but I am not dirty!"
"You..."
Brother Zhou was shaking with rage, lifting his arm to slap the girl's face!
The girl instinctively closed her eyes.
But after a few seconds, she still hadn't felt the pain of the slap on her face.
"Who the fuck are you?"
Brother Zhou's voice rang in her ears.
When the girl opened her eyes, she saw a young and handsome man holding Brother Zhou's wrist.
This young man was naturally Chen Ziyang.
"It's not good for two grown men to be rough with a girl, is it?"
Chen Ziyang said with a stern face.
The girl looked at Chen Ziyang stupidly.
She had never thought that a man would stand up for her.
Brother Zhou's face turned iron blue, "I'm disciplining my own dog, what's it got to do with you?"
While saying this, Brother Zhou tried to pull his arm free, only to find that Chen Ziyang's grip was like a vise, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Brother Zhou's lackey, cursing at Chen Ziyang, rushed forward with a kick.
Chen Ziyang frowned slightly and suddenly lifted his leg!
Bang!
The lackey was kicked away by Chen Ziyang for more than ten meters, rolling several times on the ground, clutching his abdomen and arching his body like a shrimp, continuously screaming in pain.
"If you have something to say, say it nicely, no need for violence!"
Chen Ziyang then looked at Brother Zhou, "Getting physical will only put you at a disadvantage."
Brother Zhou hadn't expected Chen Ziyang to be so formidable, kicking away his lackey with a single blow, and he became somewhat intimidated.
But he still retorted stubbornly, "You fucking let go..."
Chen Ziyang scoffed, his grip on the arm tightening a bit more, "What did you say?"
Brother Zhou felt as if his wrist was about to break and knelt on the ground in pain.
"I, I give up! My hand's about to break! Please let go!"
Brother Zhou was sweating cold beads of perspiration from the pain.
Only then did Chen Ziyang flick his arm, tossing Brother Zhou out of the alley!
Brother Zhou got up from the ground, scrambling and crawling, glaring at Chen Ziyang but not daring to curse anymore, he turned his head and pointed viciously at the girl, "Freak! Just you wait until we get back to the shop, I'll show you!"
Chen Ziyang took a step forward, and Brother Zhou, frightened, flinched back, not daring to waste more words, and ran off awkwardly toward the entrance of the alley.
Seeing Brother Zhou flee in Wild disarray, Chen Ziyang finally helped the girl up and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Because of being hit earlier, the girl, unable to steady herself, leaned on Chen Ziyang.
Chen Ziyang instinctively caught her, but ended up pressing his hand onto the softness of the girl's twin jewels.
No underwear?
Through touch, Chen Ziyang deduced that there was nothing underneath.
Moreover, the scale was even more impressive than it seemed from the outside!
"I'm sorry, you just fell, and I accidentally..."
Chen Ziyang quickly apologized.
After all, he had heard clearly that the girl was hit because a customer had groped her.
Clearly, the girl was very resistant to such things!
However, when Chen Ziyang looked at the girl, he found that although she looked frightening, her eyes were exceedingly clear and bright.
Far from being angry, the girl even looked at Chen Ziyang with tenderness in her eyes.
No girl has never fantasized about being rescued by a hero.
And at that moment, Chen Ziyang was her hero, her prince!
But she quickly lowered her head in shame.
She knew her face was scary.
She didn't want to frighten her prince in her heart.
All she did was squat down and pick up something filthy from the ground.
When Chen Ziyang saw it clearly, he realized it was a mask with the image of a beautiful woman printed on it.
The girl expertly put on the mask before raising her head to meet Chen Ziyang's gaze.
"It's okay, I was careless! And thank you..."
The girl expressed her thanks softly.
"No, no need for that."
The girl's actions made Chen Ziyang feel sorry for her, "Your face..."
He stopped mid-sentence, thinking it impolite.
But the girl seemed to be accustomed to it already.
"Two years ago, a car accident, it disfigured my face."
The girl said quietly, "Sorry, I frightened you."
"No, not at all!"
Chen Ziyang cleared his throat to relieve the awkwardness but was at a loss for what to say next.
"Sir, you just hit Brother Zhou's men; they will certainly look for ways to get back at you!"
The girl suddenly expressed her concern, "You should avoid coming to Fragrance Street for a while! Brother Zhou knows a lot of people around here!"
Chen Ziyang was startled, "You're planning to stay here?"
One could imagine, if the girl went back to Brother Zhou's place, she'd surely get a beating and might even be forced into doing things against her will.
When he said this, it was clear to see a dim shadow pass through the girl's bright eyes.
"I have nowhere to go..."
Perhaps not wanting to affect Chen Ziyang's mood, the girl then cheerfully said, "Sir, I'm already very happy that someone is willing to stand up for me, willing to protect me! Don't worry, even if they ask, I won't say anything!"
Chen Ziyang wasn't worried about Brother Zhou causing trouble for him.
But from the girl's words, he could clearly feel the girl's kindness.
Even though she was in a much more dangerous situation than he was, she was still concerned about Chen Ziyang's safety first.
Moreover, seeing the girl cover her frightening face with the mask yet trying to smile bravely, it was truly heartbreaking.
But before Chen Ziyang could say anything, the girl suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
"Sir, may I... know your name?"
Worried that Chen Ziyang might find it presumptuous, she quickly added, "Don't misunderstand, it's just that after my disfigurement, you're the first person to care about me, and I... I want to keep your name in my heart!"
The girl's self-esteem had plummeted to an extreme, her delicate body trembling non-stop, fearing that Chen Ziyang might refuse.
Chen Ziyang then took the girl's hand.
"My name is Chen Ziyang, what about you?"
"Me?"
The girl was elated.
Chen Ziyang hadn't shunned her, but instead had asked for her name, which deeply moved her.
"My name is Jiang Shu."
Jiang Shu replied joyously, and then with sincerity in her eyes, she said, "Chen Ziyang, I will never forget you!"
