Gu Sisi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Um... May I ask if we know each other?"
She really had no impression of this person, but his look was a bit strange, so she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Under the dim sunlight, Gu Sisi saw the man coldly pull out a smile. With his head down, he strode towards her.
Gu Sisi unconsciously stepped back not knowing the situation, but was blocked by a pillar behind. At the same time, a pair of big hands wrapped around her waist.
Her pupils dilated suddenly. Gu Sisi held her bag in her right hand and desperately smashed it at the man clinging to her.
Her hand was grabbed at once, and she couldn't move. Her heart was pounding. She stared intently at the man, swallowed hard, and asked, "Who... who are you?"
The man whistled in her ear and burst into laughter.
"Can't you tell? You've offended someone you shouldn't have."
Gu Sisi's brain quickly came up with an answer. In a foreign country, there weren't many people she could have offended.
But now, she could only force herself to calm down.
"Let me go. I'll give you double the money." Gu Sisi knew she couldn't compromise and was desperately thinking of a way.
With the man too close to her body, she desperately stretched her head out.
"Double?" The man stroked his lower lip as if in deep thought.
Gu Sisi quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. Triple is okay too." The most important thing now was to escape.
There were very few people in this area, and being in a foreign country, Gu Sisi knew it would be even more difficult to escape.
The man leaned closer. In Gu Sisi's expectant eyes, he shook his index finger. "It's not a matter of just money. Besides, I'm quite interested in you. It's worth it."
The man's invasive eyes sized her up and down. Gu Sisi felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she was standing naked in front of him.
The sense of crisis suddenly rose. The negotiation had failed, and there was no other way. She couldn't just sit there waiting for death.
Gu Sisi gritted her teeth and desperately held her bag, hitting the man's hand with all her strength. But due to the great disparity in physical strength, she couldn't break free. Instead, the man tightened his hold on her and imprisoned her even more tightly in his arms.
There was no other way. In desperation, Gu Sisi could only desperately shout, "Help! Help!"
There was almost no one around, which made Gu Sisi panic.
She could only raise her voice and shout for help even more desperately.
"Do you think you can escape?" The man desperately covered her mouth. Gu Sisi managed to find a little space in the struggle to continue shouting.
"Help! Help!" Gu Sisi's throat started to go hoarse.
Gasping desperately, Gu Sisi stared at the end of the road, hoping someone would appear.
Sensing Gu Sisi's intention, the man started to drag her towards a small corridor.
She was dragged staggeringly. Her two hands desperately pulled at the man's hands, trying to break free. She originally wanted to resist with her shoes, but her strength was no match.
Her eyes gradually became desperate, but suddenly she saw a figure appear at the entrance of the corridor.
All she could see was a gray overcoat. Gu Sisi continued to struggle and tried to call for help, but her mouth was covered.
Gu Sisi kicked the ground with her feet to make a noise, but the person at the corridor entrance seemed not to hear at all.
Under Gu Sisi's gaze, the person left.
She was so anxious that tears were about to come out. Gu Sisi desperately shook her head and prayed in her heart: Turn back, turn back quickly.
But ten seconds passed, and thirty seconds passed. Gradually, collapse showed in Gu Sisi's eyes.
"Huocheng, Huocheng." Gu Sisi mumbled vaguely with her mouth covered, and tears streamed down her face.
Gu Sisi could only pray that a miracle would happen.
The man, who almost thought he was about to succeed, pulled her hard and threw her to one side. He squatted in front of her and patted her face.
"I'm telling you, you'd better give in. Otherwise, I might treat you better. But if you resist again..." The man sized her up carefully again, and the feeling of nausea came over him again. "I do like wild cats, but their claws are too sharp. I have to trim them."
Gu Sisi desperately shook her head and kept blinking her eyes. Only then did the man let go of the clothes he had stuffed into her mouth in a hurry.
"What? Are you going to submit now?" The man licked his lips.
Seeing Gu Sisi whispering something but couldn't hear clearly, he leaned closer. "Speak louder!"
This time, Gu Sisi found an opportunity. Her eyes were full of determination. She bit down hard on the man's ear with all her strength.
A heart - rending scream of pain echoed. The man finally managed to pull his ear out of her mouth.
One could still see the bloodstains between her teeth. Without looking, his ear must be in a terrible state.
The man was furious. He originally thought she was just a wild cat that could add some fun, but he didn't expect her to be a crazy dog.
The man covered his ear and stared fiercely at the woman in front of him. He raised his palm heavily and was about to strike. Gu Sisi closed her eyes.
But the blow never came. She opened her eyes and saw that the man's hand was caught.
It was Huocheng!
The man in a suit narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura emanated from him. The man struggled a few times but couldn't break free.
He pointed at Huocheng with his other hand and said, "I'm telling you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, you won't even know how you die!"
"Really?" Huocheng asked calmly.
"Go and ask around in this area. If you leave now, I can let it go. But if you insist on being nosy, then you're finished!" The man seemed very arrogant and confident.
Huocheng glanced at Gu Sisi sitting on the ground, threw his coat to her, and watched her put it on. Only then did he look at the man in front of him, raising his eyebrows. "Really?"
The man thought this man really didn't understand what he was saying. He desperately tried to break free his fist from Huocheng's hand and said, "Fine. Since you've decided to meddle, then you won't be able to escape either."
Huocheng watched the struggling man for a while. Seeing that he made no progress, he sneered coldly.
The man felt ashamed. Half of his face turned red. He gritted his teeth and was about to try again. "I really don't believe it!"
But Huocheng twisted his entire arm and pinned his hands behind his back. The man completely lost the ability to struggle.
"Let me go!" The man struggled hard, but it was of no use.
"You go back first. I'll go to the police station." Huocheng said to Gu Sisi, who was squatting beside with her arms folded.
"What police station? I'm telling you, you're finished. I have connections. You'd better let me go first!" The man was still struggling, but Huocheng stared directly at Gu Sisi.
The overcoat still carried Huocheng's warmth. Gu Sisi felt very safe. She glanced at the shouting man and lowered her head. "Okay."
Without saying a word, Huocheng tightened his grip on the man's hand, which only made the man's shouts for help even louder.
