Ji Pianran has been following behind unremittingly.
After all, she is a woman.
Whether it is endurance or speed, she is obviously inferior to the two men.
In no time, she was left behind, but she gritted her teeth and never gave up.
Sweat wet the bangs on her forehead.
Big drops were falling down.
The early spring season was still a little chilly, and every time she breathed, her nose stung.
Her throat felt like it was on fire, with a burning salty taste.
It was really uncomfortable.
Ji Bianran touched her face.
Her already pale skin had become even more delicate due to the sweat.
Her pace had slowed down significantly.
But she continued to forge ahead, still unwilling to admit defeat.
A moment ago, she had clearly seen two people enter the alley not far ahead.
She was going to go in there.
She was going to find her Gu Chen!
Gu Chen, he must not have anything happen to him!
At the end of the narrow alley.
Ma Huan was facing off against Gu Chen, neither willing to concede.
One was holding a dagger that gleamed with cold light, while the other was holding an abandoned flat pole that he had picked up.
Ma Huan's hand holding the dagger tightened, and his face showed utter disdain.
'Fuck you!'
He didn't even let his words fall before he pounced ferociously at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen immediately raised his hand and blocked with the pole.
Then he dodged to the side.
The dagger stabbed the middle of the pole and immediately split in half.
Thinking that this guy was so ruthless, if this hit me, I would probably be dead.
Gu Chen's heart trembled.
Without thinking, he lifted his leg and fiercely kicked Ma Huan.
After all, he had been a security guard in his previous life.
Although he could not compare to a policeman, he had been trained.
He was quite good.
He reacted quickly, but Ma Huan reacted even faster.
He leaned backwards, and in an instant, his hands grabbed Gu Chen's legs. With a strong pull, the two men fell to the ground, where they began to grapple.
Compared to Ma Huan, Gu Chen was indeed a bit stronger, and had an advantage in terms of height and weight.
He didn't even have to use his full strength, and soon had Ma Huan pinned underneath him.
Although Ma Huan was small and thin, he had more perseverance than Gu Chen.
After all, if they continued to fight, the police would probably arrive.
As for him, he was completely finished.
If he lost, he would lose his life!
He saw him roll over with all his might, pinning Gu Chen underneath him, and stretching his other hand out as far as it could go, trying to grab the dagger that had fallen less than half a meter away.
It was only then that Ji Bianran entered the alley, panting heavily.
Seeing the scene before her, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes instantly filled with panic, and her heart hated that it couldn't jump out of her throat at that moment.
She stared at Ma Huan.
Is he going to kill Gu Chen? !
No!
Gu Chen must not be in danger!
She clenched her fists and forgot to take a big breath.
Nervously looking around, she looked for something she could use.
Then she grabbed a flowerpot from behind someone's window.
Without thinking, she rushed forward.
At this moment, Ji Pianran's mind went blank, and she knew only one thing.
That was, she had to save Gu Chen!
Gu Chen didn't stop here either. While Ma Huan reached for the dagger, he turned around and pinned him down.
Then without hesitation, he kicked the dagger even further away.
What a good job of ensuring his own safety.
It has to be said, it's really good to have a bit of height advantage, long legs, no way.
The kick sent the dagger flying another metre.
Gu Chen let out a sigh of relief, only to see Ji Bianran rushing over with a flowerpot in her arms.
The moment he saw her, Gu Chen's eyes widened!
Even his heart skipped a beat.
Shit!
Why is his wife here?
This is too dangerous!
What if she gets hurt?
Ma Huan is small and relatively agile, and seeing Gu Chen's distraction, he took advantage of the situation and flipped up.
He struggled to lock Gu Chen's neck.
A million thoughts ran through Gu Chen's mind.
Shameless, taking advantage of the situation while I'm looking at my wife!
He was about to give him a hard punch to the bridge of the nose when his fist reached mid-air.
Then something amazing happened!
Ji Pianran, without hesitation, smashed the flowerpot in her hand towards Ma Huan's head.
Then there was a muffled sound of 'dong'.
Ma Huan felt a sudden dizziness and his whole body felt like it was going limp uncontrollably.
Ji Pianran also felt the soil covering her eyes.
Taking advantage of the situation, she rolled over and pinned Ma Huan under her body.
Then he locked his other hand around his neck.
He threatened, 'If you want to stay alive, behave yourself!'
His wife was coming, and he had to finish him off in one blow, so that she wouldn't worry.
Ma Huan tried to struggle again, and saw Ji Pianran shivering as he picked up the dagger on the ground and took two steps towards him.
He held it in both hands, looking at Ma Huan with a nervous face.
'Don't move!'
If he dared to hurt Gu Chen, he would fight him!
Behind him, the sound of a police car approaching.
Then, three policemen ran over.
Ji Pianran kept the dagger pointed at Ma Huan, and didn't dare to let it go, even though Gu Chen had pressed him firmly against the wall, and he was completely out of danger.
It was as if as long as the dagger was in his hands, Gu Chen would be safe.
The moment he saw the police, Ma Huan finally gave up hope completely. He sighed and gave up resisting.
After Ma Huan was escorted into the police car, the police officer had a brief conversation with Gu Chen to get a better understanding of the situation before turning to Ji Bianran.
She was still looking nervous, so nervous that she had forgotten to put the knife down, clearly terrified.
Gu Chen's heart was breaking.
He walked over to her in two steps, took her hand with tenderness in his eyes, and gently reassured her, 'It's okay, it's okay, my dear. You were very brave.'
His voice was like a powerful reassurance.
Ji Pianran blinked nervously, and only then did she come back from the fear she had just experienced.
She took a deep breath, feeling her heart gradually fall back into her chest, beating slowly and powerfully.
Her fair hands finally relaxed, and tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.
The knife fell to the ground with a clang.
She had really been scared just now, scared that the man had got the knife.
Scared that he would hurt Gu Chen.
Now, when she thought about what had just happened, she couldn't help trembling.
Their bodies were pressed together, their heartbeats overlapping.
Feeling the softness in her arms, Gu Chen's heart was melting.
Although Ji Pianran had an indifferent personality and didn't seem to be afraid of anything, she was, after all, a girl.
This kind of thing is the first time she has encountered it, let alone her.
How could she not be afraid?
In fact, Gu Chen knew very well that Ma Huan was not his match at all.
If Ji Pianran had not distracted him just now, Ma Huan might have already been subdued by him.
But this did not affect his feelings and gratitude towards Ji Pianran.
