Chapter 55 A Hero Saves the Damsel

Fatty took Jennifer into the gas station, with Zoe right behind.

The gas station owner was a portly old man with a big belly. Seeing the situation, he thought it was a robbery and retreated in fright.

Zoe explained to him for a long time before the old man understood that Zoe and Fatty just wanted to leave Jennifer here. Half an hour after they left, he was to call a phone number Zoe left him, so they could send someone to pick up Jennifer.

The old man didn't want to get into trouble and flatly refused. Zoe repeatedly promised there was no kidnapping or any illegal activity, and then offered him a stack of dollars. Seeing the money, the old man gladly accepted.

Not only that, the old man even filled Zoe's car with gas for free.

After everything was settled, Zoe and Fatty drove away.

As soon as the car pulled onto the main road, Zoe and Fatty heard an explosion coming from the gas station behind them.

"Wait!" Fatty's sensitive ears immediately recognized the sound of gunfire.

Zoe slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.

Fatty thought, who would dare to shoot near a gas station? He remembered tying Jennifer up tightly, and felt that Jennifer shouldn't be the one firing the gun.

"No way." Fatty said, "I have to go back and see. You wait here for me."

Zoe told Fatty to be careful. Fatty flashed the Glock in his hand and said, "Don't worry."

The place where they parked was less than a hundred meters away from the gas station. Fatty crouched down and used the roadside signs as cover to sneak over.

From the outside, everything looked normal at the gas station. There was no fire or other damage from the explosion just now.

Fatty suddenly noticed an old pickup truck parked in the gas station. He clearly remembered that there was no such car in the gas station when he and Zoe left just now.

He quietly crept to the window and peeked inside, and what he saw startled him.

The gas station owner, that old fatty, had half his head blown off by a gunshot, and brain matter mixed with blood was splattered all over the ground.

Damn, he was shot at close range with a shotgun—Fatty immediately realized that the old man had run into a robbery.

Shooting someone point-blank in the head, the ruthless robber was definitely not an ordinary person.

If Jennifer wasn't inside, Fatty would have slipped away. In America, it's better to mind your own business.

After all, he was the one who sent Jennifer into the gas station. If something happened to her, wouldn't Fatty be indirectly responsible?

Fatty pinched his thigh hard and cursed inwardly, "What a sin." Then, he observed through the window again.

A masked robber, after looting the old man's cash register, began to ransack the shelves.

Fatty looked at the place where Jennifer had been placed and found that Jennifer was gone—there was more than one of them. He had to take action quickly, or Jennifer might be in danger.

Fatty sneaked into the gas station without making a sound. He snuck up behind the robber who was rummaging through the food on the shelves without being noticed. He quickly covered the robber's mouth and nose, and struck the back of his neck hard. The robber was immediately knocked unconscious by Fatty.

Fatty gently laid the unconscious robber on the ground, then took a pair of handcuffs, a hunting knife, and a nylon rope from his body and carried them with him. Then, he followed Jennifer's "呜呜呜" (wuwuwu) cries.

Fatty came to a small storage room. The door was ajar, and the sound was coming from inside. He could hear Jennifer's heartbreaking cries, as well as angry roars.

The light in the storage room was dim and flickering. Fatty quietly crouched down and sneaked in, sneaking behind another robber.

Just as the robber was taking off his pants, Fatty jumped up and punched the robber to the ground.

The robber wanted to get up from the ground and resist. Fatty punched the robber in the face again, directly knocking out one of his front teeth.

The robber begged for mercy in pain, but Fatty couldn't let him off so easily, and then delivered a series of combination punches until he knocked him unconscious.

Jennifer's clothes were torn to pieces by the robber, and her pants were also pulled down a bit. Her wrists had several bloody marks from the belt because of her struggles. The scene was very distressing.

Fatty quickly took out the cloth stuffed in Jennifer's mouth and untied the belt. The first thing Jennifer did after being untied was not to pull up her pants, but to slap Fatty across the face with all her strength. Fatty's face immediately burned. Fatty knew he was in the wrong. After all, he was the one who almost caused her to lose her virginity, so taking a slap was a good thing.

After Jennifer put on her clothes, she kicked the unconscious robber on the ground. She broke several of his ribs. Only after she was exhausted did she feel a little relieved.

Jennifer wanted to find a gun to kill the robber with one shot, but Fatty stopped her.

Fatty tied the two robbers tightly together with ropes and left them next to the body of the old man they had killed. He said to Jennifer, "Call the police."

Jennifer didn't understand what Fatty said. Fatty gestured and said, "Call the police, dial 110!"

Seeing that Jennifer still didn't understand, Fatty imitated the sound of a police siren "危……拉……危拉……" (wei...la...weila...). Only then did Jennifer understand that Fatty wanted her to dial 911 to call the police.

After calling the police, Fatty took Jennifer back to the car.

When Zoe saw that Jennifer had been untied and saw that her clothes were disheveled, she wanted to ask Fatty what was going on. Fatty quickly spoke first and said, "Let's go, the police will be here soon."

Fatty explained in detail to Zoe what happened at the gas station just now. Zoe expressed her deep sympathy for the old man's encounter.

Jennifer looked dejected, neither crying nor making trouble, just staring at Fatty, her eyes full of complex emotions.

Maybe this was resentment.

Fatty felt a chill in his heart from being stared at. He thought, if it weren't for Fatty saving you just now, you would have been xxxxed by those two guys.

Fatty guiltily took out the handcuffs he had taken from one of the robbers and said to Jennifer, "You be honest, I won't handcuff you, you understand?"

Jennifer looked at Fatty fumbling with the handcuffs in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about.

Zoe was amused by Fatty's invented language. She translated to Jennifer, "Fatty is telling you to be honest, so he won't handcuff you."

After hearing Zoe's explanation, Jennifer didn't argue anymore and became much more honest. After the series of events just now, Jennifer had changed her opinion of Zoe. What's more, Fatty had saved her life, so the grudges could be put aside for the time being.

Zoe couldn't help but complain to Fatty, saying, "Fatty, I beg you, please stop speaking those languages you created. No one can understand them at all."

Fatty was unconvinced and said, "Fatty, I'm re-creating language. It's scientific progress, civilizational progress. Maybe it can lead the trend of the times in the future."

Zoe rolled her eyes at Fatty in the rearview mirror and said, "Hmph, you should first let the person next to you understand what you mean."

Fatty even got competitive and said, "Hey, don't be unconvinced. I can really teach her."

"You're just bragging," Zoe said dismissively.

After Fatty's series of actions, Jennifer had completely forgotten about Zoe's secret hidden in the nursing home.
