"Fuck, that bitch is out again, flirting with men behind my back…"
Outside, the man's drunken curses continued, followed by the sound of things being thrown around, shaking even her door. Lin Mian realized that it was the neighbor next door who had returned.
She rented only a small single room, sharing a living room with two other neighbors. The middle-aged couple next door often drank and returned late at night, arguing and occasionally breaking things. Due to poor soundproofing, she was often awakened by the noise. Several times, the man even smashed a bottle near her door, making her anxious for half the night.
Living in such a cheap and chaotic place, she had no choice but to endure.
Listening to the commotion outside, Lin Mian sighed and realized she didn't have the money to rent a better place. She would have to bear with it.
After the man outside had thrown things around for a while, it gradually quieted down.
Just as Lin Mian relaxed and was about to turn off the lights and sleep, there were sudden knocks on her door.
Startled, Lin Mian sat up in bed.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The knocking continued.
"Who is it?" Lin Mian asked cautiously.
The man outside, with a drunken slur in his voice, replied, "It's me, your neighbor, open the door, little girl."
"What do you want?" Lin Mian asked warily.
"I have something to tell you, open the door, let me come in and talk to you."
"I'm sorry, I can't open the door. Please tell me what you want from outside," Lin Mian said cautiously, refusing to open the door.
The man outside grew impatient and continued to knock loudly on the door.
"Girl, we're neighbors, can't we get to know each other? Open the door, let's be friends. You're a college student, right? I've never been friends with a college student before!" the man said.
Hearing this, Lin Mian's heart raced with fear.
She clutched the blanket and shouted loudly, "I don't want to know you. Leave now, or I will call the police."
The drunken man outside hesitated for a moment, then kicked the door heavily and started cursing.
"D*mn it, I've been to the police station so many times, I'm not afraid of your meaningless threats. If you dare, call the police! I'll break down this door today!"
"Little b*tch, I'll f*cking kill you!"
The door was kicked violently, causing Lin Mian to jump out of bed, grab the scissors on the table, and stand shakily by the window.
The man's curses continued, and the door handle was twisted rhythmically, as if he would break in at any moment.
Lin Mian broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
There were no self-defense weapons in the room, and being on the twelfth floor, it seemed like the other neighbors were not back yet. No one would hear her cries for help.
In desperation, Lin Mian grabbed her phone and dialed 110 for emergency assistance.
However, due to her nerves being on edge, she mistakenly dialed a number from her call history instead. Closing her eyes, she made the call.
"Hello, is this the police station? 1109, Building 3, Wan Shui Ting Residential Area, someone is causing trouble and banging on my door outside..."
The door was kicked open with a loud bang, and the drunken man, reeking of alcohol, stared at her with murky eyes as he approached step by step.
"Don't come any closer!" Lin Mian shouted in fear, holding the scissors up.
"Haha, go ahead and scream, you'll have plenty of time to do that later!" the man said gruffly as he lunged towards her. Lin Mian screamed and tried to stab the man with the scissors, but he dodged and snatched them away, forcefully pinning her down on the bed.
The phone fell to the floor, and Lin Mian desperately tried to break free, but the man, fat and repulsive, held her down firmly.
"Move again and I'll kill you!" the man threatened, pressing the tip of the scissors against her neck menacingly.
On the other end of the phone, Shi Lin heard the commotion, his face darkening with a cold, terrifying expression.
"Lin Mian?" he called out through the phone, but there was no response from the other end, only intermittent sounds of struggle.
Shi Lin immediately turned the steering wheel, speeding towards Lin Mian's apartment complex.
Pinned down by the drunken man, Lin Mian felt his greasy hands groping all over her body, the disgusting smell of alcohol filling her nostrils, mixed with a wave of foul odor, causing her to feel nauseous.
The man's actions continued as he tried to rip off Lin Mian's nightgown.
She fiercely bit down on the man's hand, causing him to yell in pain. He threw away the scissors and slapped her across the face harshly.
"You slut, I'll f**king kill you!"
Lin Mian's head was ringing from the blows, but she gritted her teeth and frantically felt around the bed, grabbing the scissors and fiercely stabbing at the man.
If she were to be violated by a man like this, she would rather die.
"Ah..." The man's abdomen was cut open by her, blood seeping out, his clothes torn and tattered. But he seemed even more excited, his eyes bloodshot as he grabbed her hair and forced her head down with his foul-smelling mouth.
Bang!
The unsteady door was kicked open once again!
