After the crowd had dispersed, Qiao Lian threw the package away. When she returned, she saw that s.h.i.+ Nianyao was still angry and indignant. “This is indeed too much! I have never seen such a boss. But Chief Editor Lian Lian, how could you not have called the police?”
Qiao Lian sighed and then said, “For this kind of issues, even if the police were here, they would only record the incident. It would be impossible for them to send someone to protect me 24 hours a day. So it would have been useless, even if we had called for the police.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao turned silent suddenly. “So, what do you intend to do?”
“What else can I do? Just leave it like that!” She smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, I will be more careful these few days.”
Although that was easy to say, only she knew how afraid she was.
For the sake of her own safety, it would be better if she stayed at the office for the whole day and not go out to gather news.
She reckoned that Liu Zhixing would understand the seriousness of the matter and indeed, he did not force her.
When she ended work, she decided to take the public bus to go home, since there would be many people on the bus and it should be the safest way.
Although it was supposed to be peak hours when she finished work, not that many people were heading in the villa’s direction. There were still empty seats when she got on the bus, as only a few were occupied.
Qiao Lian sat down and looked at the scenery outside. After a while, she realized that there was a person standing beside her.
She turned and took a glance, but she did not mind.
However after a while, she noticed some kind of warmth on her head.
She stared blankly and then saw that the person standing next to her had placed his hand on her head.
Qiao Lian began to frown. She was about to say something when the man suddenly said, “You have very nice hair.”
After he finished speaking, he removed his hand as if nothing had ever happened before.
Qiao Lian immediately started to be vigilant and stood on guard.
She bit her lips. The number of people on the bus lessened as they approached the rural area. This area was rather desolate, and there were not many people getting on and off the bus.
While Qiao Lian was still lost in her thoughts, the person beside her suddenly swung his arm, giving her a tight slap!
This slap was so sudden that she did not have the chance to react at all.
Qiao Lian stood up, and the man started yelling at her, “C*nt! Didn’t you hear what I just said? You only like playing with your cell phone the whole day!”
Qiao Lian bit her lips and then said, “Who are you? I don’t know you. You—”
Before she could finish speaking, the man suddenly grabbed her hair.
As the bus reached the bus-stop, he grabbed her hair and headed straight down the bus.
Qiao Lian cried out for help, “I don’t know him. Help!”
The man spoke fiercely, “What are you looking at? Never seen a couple fighting before?!”
There was someone who wanted to come forward, but someone else stopped him and said, “I saw this man touching this lady’s head just now, they are probably a couple.”
Qiao Lian was completely muddled, it was an abduction in broad daylight!
She was so terrified that she screamed at the top of her lungs for help, but the people in the bus just looked at her with indifference. No one came up to save her.
So she was dragged down the bus by the man just like that. She was then flung on the gra.s.s along the road.
Qiao Lian was s.h.i.+vering and looked helpless, since no one had bothered to a.s.sist her. She watched as the bus left and the man forcefully pushed onto the gra.s.s.
She was trembling with fear as she stared at the person in front of her.
He grinned and smirked, waving a dagger in his hand. “You do indeed look pretty. But if I were to slash your face, what do you think would happen?”
Once he finished speaking, he took the dagger and pierced it into her face!
