Chapter 205: A Cold but Familiar Embrace

With each vulgar remark accompanied by lecherous laughter, Shen Wan’s expression grew colder.

It was both disgusting and frightening.

She was fine with psychological mind games, but when it came to physical danger, she had to admit she couldn’t handle it.

“If you want money, I can give it,” Shen Wan attempted to negotiate.

Unfortunately…

“Money isn’t what we need, darling. We’re just looking for some fun,” the scruffy blond guy with a baseball bat said, exhaling a cloud of smoke and grinning with stained teeth. While speaking, he even made a suggestive gesture.

Another man, his beer belly protruding like it was about to explode, casually spun a pair of nunchucks. He then pulled a bunch of one-hundred yuan bills from his pocket and tossed them in Shen Wan’s direction, saying, “If you’re talking about money, big brother’s got plenty!”

Shen Wan’s face changed, and she glanced behind them. The three men subconsciously turned their heads—

Now was the perfect moment to make a run for it!

Without hesitation, she sprinted away, leaving the three men seeing nothing behind them. They quickly realized they had been played.

“Damn it, she tricked us! Chase after her!”

“Split up and block her!” the blond guy with the baseball bat made a quick decision and issued orders.

Shen Wan had initially planned to run toward the street, where there were more people and it was closer. However, the blond guy made a flanking move, and running in that direction would be walking right into a trap. She ended up being forced into a narrow alley.

The dim lights made the path ahead narrow and suffocating.

It was the kind of place that would be perfect for a “rape and murder” scene in a TV drama.

Further down, there was no light, and her hand couldn’t even see her fingers.

Shen Wan understood that the further she ventured into the darkness, the higher the chances that her cries for help would go unnoticed if she were apprehended. However, with her pursuers hot on her heels, she had no alternative but to venture into the unfamiliar shadows.

Her heart was pounding from the sprint, and in such a quiet environment, she could even hear the thumping sound.

She picked up a piece of wood, then crouched in a corner, covering herself from head to toe with a vegetable basket.

After doing all this, the three men had just caught up.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

No light, no sound, as if the air had become thin.

“Where is she?”

“Heh! She runs fast!”

“Both of you take out your phones and shine them around. I don’t believe she can escape!”

The light from their phones illuminated only a small area in front of them, and with a cursory scan, they couldn’t see the woman’s figure.

The man with the baseball bat, his blonde hair standing on end with intense excitement, sweat trickling down his body, clutched the bat to his chest, and his eyes gleamed. “Darling, I know you’re hiding here, and I’ve already seen you.”

The only response he got was deadly silence.

Blondie continued, “Do you think you can hide and get away? Either come out on your own, and we’ll go easy on you, or if we find you, tonight won’t end well for you!”

As he spoke, he continued to search ahead.

By this time, Blondie had already passed the spot where Shen Wan was hiding, while the other two were a step behind.

After the second person had walked past, Shen Wan stood up abruptly, lifted the vegetable basket, and brandished the wooden stick in her hand with force.

In the chaos, she didn’t know where she had hit the guy, but she heard a painful scream.

The two in front quickly reacted, but Shen Wan had already sprinted toward the entrance of the alley. Her long hair flowed in the night breeze as her legs moved steadily and swiftly. In this moment, she was grateful for the physical training she had been doing in recent days.

“Stop—”

“Don’t run—”

Another chase began, but it didn’t last long. When Shen Wan ran out of the alley, she collided solidly with a cold but familiar embrace..
