Chapter 256
An Xin let her gaze fall, her emotions a blur in her eyes, “An Ruo, are you blaming me? I’m sorry, I didn’t know things would turn out this way.”
“It has nothing to do with you, it’s just my bad luck.”
“How can it have nothing to do with me? If I hadn’t asked you to meet here, none of this would’ve happened to you. But luckily, you weren’t hurt too badly, otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to the bar owner to call the police; those three people won’t get away with this.”
An Ruo nodded and stood up, “I’d like to go back now. Let’s not talk about the shares for now.”
It wasn’t that she was suspicious, but her intuition told her that all of this might have been orchestrated by An Xin.
An Xin hurried to stand up and support her arm, “Okay, we won’t talk about it, I’ll take you home to rest first. An Ruo, are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital? You should really get checked out.”
“It’s okay, it’s just minor injuries,” An Ruo said faintly.
Her swollen face looked alarming, but they were indeed superficial injuries, nothing that hurt her bones or muscles.
Exiting the private room and passing by the corridor, An Ruo glanced at the clean floor, where the glass shards had already been cleared away.
When they reached the underground car park, An Xin first helped her into the car before walking around the front to get into the other side.
Under the dim light, suddenly two figures rushed over and grabbed An Xin as she was about to get into the car. She screamed, her upper body already being dragged out.
The two men pulled her out, her legs scraping the ground. In that instant, her reaction was to kick at the car door, slamming it shut with a thud.
Immediately, her mouth was tightly covered by someone, and two men dragged her toward a dark corner.
An Ruo watched the scene in terror, about to get out to save her when she turned her head and saw someone leaning on the car window.
It was none other than Brother Qiang.
They hadn’t left; instead, they were lying in wait for the opportunity to teach both of them a lesson.
Brother Qiang pressed his face against the glass, giving her a sleazy, nauseating smile, revealing yellow teeth.
An Ruo managed to suppress the scream in her throat, reflexively reaching to press the central lock hard down, securing all the doors to prevent anyone from outside getting in.
Brother Qiang tried to yank the door open first, but it was too late.
The man, infuriated, kicked the car door violently, shaking the vehicle.
And not far away, An Xin’s screams could be heard intermittently.
An Ruo’s face was pale. She didn’t dare to go out, knowing the consequences, but she needed to save An Xin. Pulling out her phone, she intended to dial 110 but instead called Tang Yuchen’s number.
At that moment, in An Ruo’s subconscious, she believed Tang Yuchen was more capable than anyone else.
The phone rang twice, and the person on the other end hadn’t picked up yet.
Outside, Brother Qiang, fearing she would call for help, started to punch the car window desperately. An Ruo, not daring to look at him, bowed her head forcefully, her eyes closed in fear, praying incessantly for Tang Yuchen to answer the phone quickly.
“What’s happening?” Finally, a man’s lazy voice came through the phone.
“Tang Yuchen, please come and save me, I beg you, hurry!” An Ruo yelled with all her might, bursting into tears as soon as she started speaking.
She didn’t realize she was already crying her eyes out.
“Where are you?” Tang Yuchen urgently asked in a serious tone.
An Ruo named the place, and the person on the other end told her not to hang up, then the line went quiet.
