The owner searched the youth’s body and confirmed that he was speaking the truth. He didn’t have a single cent on him.
In the end, the youth gave his cellphone to the owner as a form of security.
The cellphone was new so the owner accepted it.
The youth heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the iron bar in his hand and turned to find the person who passed it to him.
A girl sat among the noisy crowd silently. The mess around her didn’t seem to affect her.
The youth sized up Ming Shu. A girl with an aura like this should not appear here.
However, why would a person like her pass him an iron bar?
Wasn’t she afraid of getting into trouble?
He clutched his shoulder and walked toward her. “Erm… thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Ming Shu looked at him. “If you come closer, you will topple my table.”
The youth: “???”
Ming Shu continued, “It’s not good to waste food.”
The youth: “!!??”
When Ming Shu finished her food, the youth was still standing at the same spot. “Let me send you back. I’m afraid that those people will come and look for you.”
He was afraid that Ming Shu would misunderstand him so he explained himself.
“No need.”
“I’ve nothing to do. Where do you live?” Ban Lan scratched his head. “Erm, I don’t have any other intention. I just think that it’s not safe for you to go back alone so late at night.”
Ming Shu’s rejection didn’t have any effect. The youth followed her.
“My name is Ban Lan. What’s your name?”
Ming Shu scanned her surroundings before replying, “Wu Cai.”
“Huh?”
The youth was puzzled.
Ming Shu suddenly asked him, “Do you know where the Flower Alley is?”
Ban Lan nodded. “I do. I live there.”
“Take me. I’ll pay you.”
“No need.” If she didn’t pass him the weapon, he would be in a bad state now. Ban Lan hesitated. “But… it’s already so late. Do you really want to go there?”
The East District was separated into a few areas: a little messy, very messy, and extremely messy.
The Flower Alley was an extremely messy place. However, the rent there was the cheapest so some people had no choice but to stay there.
Ming Shu replied, “I know. So, if you know the location, please take me there soon. If not, I’ll look for someone else.”
Today should be the day when something happens to the fake female protagonist and the female protagonist.
Yi Xi got harassed by someone when she left the house so she called Lu Ning to save her. Lu Ning asked Yi Xi to call for help.
However, Yi Xi didn’t call for anyone so Lu Ning almost lost her virginity.
Luckily, she was the female protagonist. Thus, she was rescued by someone.
Actually, the person who harassed her was called over by Yi Xi. If not, how did she managed to remain safe until Lu Ning came?
Now, I need to rescue my beauty and gain some Hatred Points along the way.
“Okay… okay then.”
Ban Lan brought Ming Shu to the venue by bus. The buses at the East District stopped at an earlier time but they were lucky enough to catch the last bus.
When Ming Shu looked out of the bus, all she could see were dilapidated buildings and occasional fights.
The last bus was packed. Ban Lan looked past the crowd and saw the girl leaning against the window.
She tilted her head slightly as she gazed outside the window. The crowd didn’t seem to bother her.
If Ban Lan observed her carefully, he would realize that the crowd seemed a distance away from her. She was protected by an invisible wall.
Many people got off at the Flower Alley bus stop. Ming Shu off down just before the door closed.
Ban Lan stood beside her and asked curiously, “Are you from the East District?”
“Yes.”
Ban Lan didn’t believe her.
She didn’t look like she belonged here. Whether it was her clothes or her aura…
The people at the East District appeared haggard. They were forced to bow down their whole lives so they had depressed expressions on their faces.
Ming Shu didn’t know the exact location so she could only walk around the Flower Alley.
The people from before had all disappeared. Even if someone walked past her, they would be in a hurry.
The only sounds came from the houses that were lit up.
“What are you looking for?”
Ban Lan had been following her.
Ming Shu took out some money. “You can leave now. Thanks for taking me here.”
Ban Lan didn’t take the money. “I said that I don’t need…”
Ming Shu stuffed the money into his pocket. “Young man, you should just take the money that you deserve. You used your time to exchange for it.”
Ban Lan looked at the money. He was speechless.
“Ahhhhh—!”
A short scream rang through the air. Ming Shu looked up and ran in that direction.
Ban Lan was astounded. He wanted to stop her but it was already too late.
Ming Shu ran through the narrow streets and reached the other side of the alley.
Two men were pinning a woman on the ground.
The two men froze when they saw someone dashing toward them. They looked at her vigilantly.
“Help… help me!”
The woman stretched her hand out.
“Help me… help me…”
Ming Shu turned and left.
The hope in the woman’s eyes shattered. The two men smiled at each other when they saw how sensible Ming Shu. One of them shouted, “Stop!”
Ming Shu turned around and looked at him. “What’s the matter?”
The lights in the alley were dim. She couldn’t see the expressions of the two men but from their actions, they didn’t have any good intentions.
Man #1 said, “Young girl, why are you still here so late at night? Did you lose your way? Do you need me to help you?”
Man #2 continued, “Yes, we will send you back properly. If you listen to us, we will not hurt you.”
“No… they’re lying! Hurry up and run! They will kill you!” the woman suddenly shouted.
“Shut up, you bitch!” Man #1 slapped the woman.
Ming Shu tilted her head and looked at the woman.
She smiled. “Did you all bring money?”
Man #1 and Man #2: “???”
What?
“Young girl, let me smell you…”
Man #2 tried to get close to Ming Shu. He rubbed his hands together. Ming Shu couldn’t see his expression, but his intention was obvious.
Ming Shu rolled up her sleeves. “Come, let’s fight. I’ll let you experience what a real fight is.”
“Little girl, look at your short and skinny limbs. You are definitely not my…”
Man #2 froze. There was something pressing against his head.
The woman smiled. “Huh? I’m not your what?”
“…”
Didn’t you say that you wanted to fight?
Why do you have a gun!
This is a foul!
Foul!
…
When Ban Lan caught up with Ming Shu, she was counting money with two men begging for mercy beside her.
The woman who was attacked by the two men was hunched in a corner and shivered in fear.
Ban Lan: “…”
What happened?
Ming Shu counted the money. These two men had robbed someone before this so they had quite some cash.
Ming Shu passed some to the woman.
The woman trembled and didn’t dare to take the money.
Ming Shu placed it in front of her. She got up and saw Ban Lan. “Since you saw it, I’ll give you a part of it.”
She passed some money to Ban Lan.
Ban Lan: “…”
Are they dividing the spoils now?
Why was this different from what he imagined?
Why!
