Qiao Chuchu gritted her teeth, staring tightly at the man, like a beast waiting for the right moment to strike, examining every part of his face, even the tattoo on his neck.
The man tried to unbutton her pants while mocking her, "What, no more struggling? Learned your lesson?"
Qiao Chuchu didn’t answer.
She just stared at him.
Sweat dripped from her forehead like raindrops, and her chest heaved with rapid breaths. Her eyes blazed with intense killing intent.
The man sneered, pulling her pants down further. "Damn, you’re wearing a lot."
Qiao Chuchu turned her head, looking around, confirming the lewd smiles on everyone’s faces.
Even some of the women were staring at her with mocking gazes.
Though they were all women, their eyes still carried contempt.
She closed her eyes in despair, trying to calm herself, then continued to watch the man preparing to assault her.
Just then, the sound of an engine grew closer and closer from outside.
The man stopped. "What’s that sound?!"
A black G-Wagon crashed through the roll-up door and barreled inside!
Everyone’s faces changed dramatically. "Someone’s breaking in!"
The off-road vehicle sped straight toward the crowd, knocking several people aside, and came to a halt with a skillful drift!
The man on top of Qiao Chuchu cursed as he ran toward the vehicle. The vehicle’s door opened, and a man with a baseball bat swung it fiercely toward him!
Qiao Chuchu’s eyes widened.
Pei Fengnong?!
It was Pei Fengnong coming to save her!
In the dim light, Pei Fengnong’s eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast, and he swung the bat with all his might toward the man’s head!
With a murderous aura surrounding him, Pei Fengnong knocked down wave after wave of people with the bat!
Wherever he went, bodies fell in heaps!
A burly man with a knife charged at him.
Pei Fengnong first knocked the knife out of his hand, then grabbed it and stabbed the man’s shoulder with it!
The man froze, and Pei Fengnong swiftly cut the tendons in his arms before delivering a crushing blow to his lower body!
The man howled in pain and passed out. "Ah!"
Pei Fengnong showed no expression, his face half-covered in blood, and not a single sound had left him since he arrived.
He numbly looked at Qiao Chuchu.
Qiao Chuchu remained in the same position on the table, her pants pulled down halfway, her thermal leggings still intact.
Everyone had fallen.
The only camera next to her hadn’t fallen.
Pei Fengnong didn’t hesitate, smashing one camera after another, then stepped on the camera on the man’s neck and gave him a forceful kick to the groin!
The man started convulsing.
Pei Fengnong paid him no attention, first securing Qiao Chuchu’s pants, then releasing her hands.
Qiao Chuchu, as if still in a dream, slowly sat up. "Brother?"
Pei Fengnong looked at her with concern. "Hmm."
She slowly regained her senses, her vision blurry, and cautiously called, "Fourth brother?"
Pei Fengnong’s eyes darkened, and a wave of heartache surged through him.
But he still kept his expression cold, his gaze unwavering like an unmovable wall. "It’s me, Qiao Chuchu. I’m your fourth brother. I’m late, sorry."
Qiao Chuchu’s tightly wound nerves snapped in an instant, and she cried as she threw herself into his arms!
Pei Fengnong staggered back a little but didn’t hesitate to tightly embrace her!
Qiao Chuchu cried out, her voice earth-shattering. "I’m so scared! I’m so scared! I’m afraid they’ll torture me to death! They all want to touch me! I’m so scared, brother! I’m scared! I’m scared of the pain, I’m scared of being abused, I don’t know what’s going to happen to me!"
Pei Fengnong felt like his heart was being torn apart, a lump forming in his throat.
If he had been even a moment later...
He couldn’t bear to think about it, his hand clutching her head, trying to steady himself as he calmly said, "It’s alright, it’s alright. You’re safe now."
Qiao Chuchu cried uncontrollably. "I don’t know, I’m so anxious. I’m sorry, brother. Don’t hate me. Just let me hold you for a while, let me hold you!"
Pei Fengnong froze for a moment, tightening his arms around her.
Qiao Chuchu, dazed, seemed to hear him repeating, "Sorry, sorry... I didn’t protect you... sorry."
She curled up in his embrace, feeling the warmth on her neck.
Water began to drip down.
Qiao Chuchu paused, trying to look up, but Pei Fengnong held her head down, forcefully pressing her against his chest.
More warm water droplets fell on her neck.
It was... Pei Fengnong’s... tears?
