Chapter 211: Hard to Escape
Shen Hanxing’s heart felt warm, and she was full of confidence again.
After Ji Yan company’s PR department had released a public announcement that the commercial street in S City would be opening on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the news spread like wildfire. Many people expressed their interest in visiting the commercial street.
Painting a mural on the wall was not easy. On the morning of the 15th, Shen Hanxing stayed alone in the warehouse and painted the last stroke of paint. Ji Mo was chased home by her to get some sleep a few hours ago. Shen Hanxing had not slept for two days and two nights, so she was extremely tired.
After carefully locking the door of the warehouse, Shen Hanxing wrapped her coat tightly around herself and walked through the long alley. She planned to eat a bowl of hot wonton at the wonton shop that she had visited before. Then, she would go to the hotel to change her clothes. Activities on the commercial street were going to start at eight in the morning.
It was a cold morning before dawn, the streets and alleys on the west side of the city were all quiet. Only the crisp sound of her heels landing on the ground could be heard. Shen Hanxing was forced to stop when she had just walked past a corner.
!!
Scarlet specks of light lit up in front of her, then dimmed after a short while. It was someone leaning against the wall and smoking. Hearing the movement, that person turned his head and looked over. Then, several specks of light appeared beside him, like pairs of blood-red eyes lighting up in a dark bat cave.
Shen Hanxing had a bad premonition. She wanted to retreat, but her path of retreat was unknowingly blocked by someone. These people were here for her.
“Miss Shen.” The man in front of the rest approached Shen Hanxing with a cigarette in his mouth. He took a deep breath and spew out the smoke from his mouth onto Shen Hanxing’s face. The nicotine mixed with the man’s tone when he spoke was disgusting. Shen Hanxing, whose mind was muddled, came back to her senses. She asked cautiously, “What are all of you planning to do?”
“Miss Shen, you’re too insensible. So, someone wants to teach you a lesson.” The man played with the lighter and suddenly lit it up with a click. A small flame lit up the man’s face which was full of viciousness. He continued, “I hope you will be more sensible in the future, Miss Shen. Women should stay at home to take care of the children, clean the house, and cook. You shouldn’t involve yourself with these things. It’s tiring and dangerous. Why bother?”
Shen Hanxing’s eyes suddenly became sharp. She looked at the man coldly through the dim morning air. She replied, “I don’t like what you’re saying.”
“So what?” the man laughed arrogantly, “You don’t have to like what I say. You just have to do as I say!”
Shen Hanxing laughed lightly. Before the man could react, her expression darkened. She suddenly raised her knee and propelled it upwards. She exclaimed, “Like I’ll do what you say!” Her hard knee collided with the man’s stomach. The man grunted, and the pain caused the cigarette in his mouth to fall to the ground. Shen Hanxing seized the opportunity to attack. She lifted her leg and was going to kick the man’s leg.
Unexpectedly, the man reacted quickly. The muscles on his arm tensed up and forcefully resisted Shen Hanxing’s attack.
“d.a.m.n it!” The man spat his sour-tasting saliva on the ground. As he rubbed his stomach, he sneered, “This is the first time I’ve been tricked by a b*tch.”
“Is that so?” Shen Hanxing raised her eyebrows. “Then congratulations, you will have a second time soon!” As she said that, she used her feet to propel forward and suddenly threw a punch!
However, this unexpected attack did not have any effect. The man raised his big palm and held Shen Hanxing’s fist in place. His face was full of disdain. He asked, “Do you think I will suffer the same way twice?”
“Do you think you won’t?” Shen Hanxing smiled mysteriously and suddenly raised her leg and kneed him again. This time, her target was the weakest part of the man’s lower body. No matter how ruthless the man was, when he was attacked in that spot, he would not be able to control himself and would let out a roar.
The man bent down in pain and swore non-stop. “Stinky b*tch, I will definitely kill you today. Just you wait! Go, all of you go, catch this stinky b*tch!”
The scarlet specks of light were thrown to the ground one by one and were trampled to death. Dozens of strong men surrounded her. The dark and strong figures were like ghosts in the darkness. Shen Hanxing’s heart tightened. She clenched her fists and her eyes were heavy. This was a narrow alley. There were people in front and behind her. She had no way to retreat. Furthermore, she had not rested for two days and two nights. She didn’t even eat and drink properly either. Therefore, she was exhausted and her strength was weaker than usual. She had no way to fight against such a group of well-prepared men.
It would be difficult for Shen Hanxing to escape even if she had wings.
However, Shen Hanxing was not willing to accept her fate like this. She gritted her teeth and did not retreat. Instead, she took the initiative to pounce on them!
“Don’t hold back.” The man covered his lower body and warned fiercely, “This woman’s skills are not bad. Be careful and catch her. Don’t let her escape!”
