"Who are you people? Don't try anything funny. My boyfriend will be here any minute!"
Bai Suxiang remained calm, thinking of a reason to scare them off temporarily.
"Hahaha, you don't mean me as your boyfriend, do you? How about this, if you agree to be my girlfriend, I might consider letting you go!"
The other two chuckled heartily at this.
"Hui Ge..."
The big boy seemed to recognize one of them and blurted out his name, but the man in the lead interrupted him.
"Shut up! It's late, why aren't you rolling home yet!"
The leader was Zhao Hui, and he spoke to the big boy.
This was within the jurisdiction of Huaihua Village. Although he couldn't recall whose child the boy was, too many people knowing certain things would be problematic.
"You! Get lost before I lose my temper!"
Zhao Hui pointed at the little boy beside Bai Suxiang and said.
Bai Suxiang understood his meaning. Besides, since they were here for her, she couldn't implicate the child.
So, she casually pushed the little boy, "Little brother, you should hurry home. Your parents are waiting!"
"And you, sister?"
"It's okay, I'm just talking to a few big brothers. You go ahead!"
Bai Suxiang spoke calmly. It was false to say she wasn't nervous, but in the face of danger, saving one person was saving one person.
Moreover, it wouldn't be good for a child to witness anything that might happen.
After the child walked away, Bai Suxiang asked,
"What do you want with me?"
"Hahaha, what do I want? What do you think?"
Zhao Hui laughed heartily, then suddenly said coldly.
"How would I know? I don't even know you!"
"You damn slut, what have you been doing in Huaihua Village these past few days? And you don't know?"
Hearing this, Bai Suxiang understood. So this was the work of that so-called "big sister" or some rival. It seemed tonight she was doomed.
"Then what do you want?"
"Hui Ge, I think she's quite pretty. How about..."
Someone suddenly suggested to Zhao Hui.
Even though it was night, Bai Suxiang's attire couldn't hide her alluring beauty.
"Hehehe, alright!"
Zhao Hui agreed. It was no big deal; in Huaihua Village, there was nothing Sister couldn't handle. He was here to teach Bai Suxiang a lesson anyway, and if he could enjoy himself, that would be a bonus.
Seeing the three men closing in on her, Bai Suxiang panicked and quickly grabbed her shoulder bag, trying to fight back.
In reality, she knew her shoulder bag had no real offensive power, it was just meant to startle them.
But what were a few hooligans, who were always looking for trouble, afraid of?
As expected, Bai Suxiang's resistance only fueled their interest.
The three men didn't bother dodging her attacks and walked straight towards her.
"Hey!"
Zhao Hui shouted and grabbed the strap of her shoulder bag.
Bai Suxiang quickly let go and ran backward, but another man blocked her path.
She had no other way out unless she jumped into the river.
The guardrail by the river was waist-high. For someone without athletic talent, it would be difficult to cross.
"What are you doing? Don't come any closer! If you do, I'll jump!"
"Hahaha, little girl, as long as you play with us brothers, we'll let you go!"
One of them taunted.
Zhao Hui didn't care about any of that. He threw away Bai Suxiang's shoulder bag and directly reached out to grab her.
"Hey! Stop!"
A voice rang out.
"You damn punk, who are you? I advise you not to meddle!"
Zhao Hui yelled at the newcomer.
Bai Suxiang squinted to see. It was Liu Sandao. But he looked rather thin. Could he possibly defeat these three? Only when she saw Liu Sandao make his move did her heart settle. Otherwise, she truly didn't know how she would escape tonight.
Liu Sandao had discovered Bai Suxiang's name glowing while studying the "Manual of Fortune and Virtue." Sensing she was in danger, he had rushed over through the river.
Knowing that Bai Suxiang had been helping people with reports in Huaihua Village recently, it was plausible that Jia Shuqing had sent people to deal with her.
Zhao Hui took one look at the newcomer, just a skinny student who had recently graduated, and completely disregarded him.
While Zhao Hui was preoccupied with threatening Liu Sandao, Bai Suxiang darted behind Liu Sandao.
"I've already called the police. You'd better not do anything rash!"
Liu Sandao tried to resolve the situation using mundane means. After all, dealing with mortals, using their methods wouldn't expose his true identity.
"Hahaha, is that so? Let's see if you can wait for the police to arrive!"
Zhao Hui said, raising his fist and lunging towards Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao didn't move. There was not a trace of panic in his eyes, even if all three of them attacked him.
"Ah!"
Before Zhao Hui could react, Liu Sandao had already gripped his fist. With a gentle twist, Liu Sandao nearly broke his wrist.
Zhao Hui cried out in pain, and the other two also swung their fists, aiming for Liu Sandao.
However, Liu Sandao dodged them with ease.
But he still hadn't released Zhao Hui's hand, and Zhao Hui was wailing in agony.
"Tell them to stop, or I'll break your arm!"
"Stop! ... Stop! Ouch!"
Zhao Hui hastily commanded.
In truth, Liu Sandao didn't know any martial arts. He had only seen TV shows and used a little trickery, which was why Zhao Hui couldn't gain any advantage. Sudan Novel Network.
"Let me tell you, if anyone dares to bully her again, they'll regret it! Do you understand?"
Liu Sandao said coldly.
Bai Suxiang felt a warmth spread through her heart. She hadn't expected Liu Sandao to be so formidable. He looked more captivating now than ever before.
"Yes, yes! We won't dare again!"
Zhao Hui could only agree for the moment. There would be opportunities to act later.
After the three fled in disarray, Liu Sandao and Bai Suxiang walked to the bus stop. Bai Suxiang glanced at the time; it was past eleven o'clock, and the last bus was gone. She wasn't sure if they could even get a taxi here.
"Why did you come here?"
Bai Suxiang suddenly asked.
Liu Sandao didn't answer immediately. After all, he couldn't say he was a deity who could appear here in an instant.
"I was just passing by, heard some shouting, and wanted to check it out. I didn't expect to run into you!"
Liu Sandao replied calmly.
Who would be passing by at this late hour? Such coincidences were rare.
But what could Liu Sandao be doing in Huaihua Village so late? Was he specifically looking for her? Or had he been secretly protecting her, just like in the dramas?
Many answers flickered through Bai Suxiang's mind, but they were all just her guesses.
After all, it wasn't impossible that this was just a mere coincidence.
Liu Sandao wasn't thinking so much about it, but a new problem now lay before him.
