Chapter 3774: A Sneak Attack
Editor: Henyee Translations
The seven-year-old child was curious, and he wasn’t afraid despite being held by Ye Jian. He wanted to break free from Ye Jian’s hand a few times and rush forward again. In the end, Ye Jian was a little worried that she wouldn’t be able to catch up to him, so she carried the little boy. She said, “You can’t run around, understand? If you run around, you won’t be able to find your mother after that. You might even be caught by some bad people, and you might not be able to see your mother again in the future.
“I’ll carry you. When we’re outside, I’ll…”
She was about to say that when they got outside, she would buy sweets for the boy. However, Ye Jian suddenly felt that danger was closing in on her. She didn’t have time to think. She turned around quickly and swung her luggage to avoid the danger.
The luggage was thrown very forcefully. In addition, Ye Jian’s dodging speed was very fast. The moment she dodged the danger, she heard the sound of metal objects falling… Knives!
Someone sneak attacked her with a knife just now!
Ye Jian, who was carrying the child, had a cold look in her eyes. She didn’t stay on the spot. Instead, she carried the child and sped up.
However, there were too many tourists around. Ye Jian didn’t dare to make any big movements. She didn’t dare to attack immediately either. She was afraid that this would cause panic and a stampede.
In her past life, she saw on the news that there was a serious stampede on the night of the new year in Sea City. Dozens of people were killed or injured. It was the biggest public accident that year.
Now, there were many people in the underground pa.s.sage, and it was narrow. She could only leave the crowded place quickly!
“d.a.m.n it!”
The two people who didn’t succeed saw their knives being kicked to who knew where. They cursed in a low voice and immediately contacted the people in front.
They had already blended into the crowd. But in an instant, their attempt failed and their target was nowhere to be seen.
The person closest to Ye Jian was Yu Rong, who was walking side by side with her. Ding Ling was behind her, and a male student was beside Yu Rong.
It was normal for pa.s.sengers to squeeze around them. From the moment they entered the underground tunnel, many pa.s.sengers kept squeezing past them. They even squeezed between the two teams and pa.s.sed through them hurriedly. Hence, when Ye Jian suddenly swung her luggage, the three of them didn’t react.
The real reason why they realized the danger was because Yu Rong heard the sound of metal objects falling to the ground. He glanced over and saw a sharp knife that was about ten centimeters long being kicked away by the feet of countless pa.s.sengers.
At this moment, Ye Jian was a few meters away from them with the child in her arms.
Yu Rong’s pupils constricted. He immediately turned his head and said to the students behind him, “Someone sneak attacked Ye Jian with a knife!” Then, he said to Ding Ling, “Tell the child’s mother that Ye Jian will wait outside with her child! You… and the two of you will accompany her to look for Ye Jian.”
His words made Ding Ling’s scalp turn numb. Subconsciously, she thought that the person who sneak attacked Ye Jian with a knife… was an accomplice of the pickpockets on the train.
If not, why would he sneak attack Ye Jian for no reason?
The young mother was carrying her child. She was coaxing the child who had woken up and was crying loudly. She didn’t notice anything amiss. She didn’t even notice that Ye Jian, who was carrying her other child, had rushed off.
When Ding Ling told her, the young mother thanked her gratefully. “Thank you so much. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do. In the future, I won’t bring two children out alone. It’s too troublesome and worrying.”
