At that moment, Hu Jiaojiao was overwhelmed by fear, humiliation, and despair. Those feelings were swallowing her alive.

However, an abrupt voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“What are you guys doing? I’ll bash your heads together!”

It was a woman’s voice. Her voice was strong and powerful.

As soon as they heard her voice, the people around Hu Jiaojiao stopped what they were doing.

Then, the sound of fighting followed.

Hu Jiaojiao listened to the screams of the people who had captured her. There was the sound of objects hitting the wall of the alleyway.

One after another, the men howled out in pain.

Finally, the man who had been holding onto Hu Jiaojiao’s hand had also been pulled away.

Immediately, Hu Jiaojiao removed the bag that had been placed on her head. She collapsed on the ground out of fear.

When Hu Jiaojiao looked in front of her, she saw several thugs lying on the ground. Their hands and feet had been tied up and they were all crying out in pain.

“Are you okay?”

After Hu Jiaojiao removed the bag that was on her head, Luo Xiuen realized that the girl that was getting harassed was one of Jian Yiling’s classmates.

Luo Xiuen took off her trench coat and wrapped it around Hu Jiaojiao’s trembling body.

Hu Jiaojiao who was on the other end of this kindness stared at Luo Xiuen in a daze. After a moment, she suddenly broke down and started crying.

Upon hearing her cries, Luo Xiuen became furious again. She turned her head around and walked towards the three thugs.

Once again, she delivered a series of kicks and punches.

“Sister, please spare my life… Please…”

“Sister, we didn’t plan to do anything to her. We just wanted to scare her for a bit…”

“We know we did the wrong thing. We were just planning to teach her a lesson. Even if you didn’t arrive, we would have soon stopped.”

The thugs on the ground desperately begged for mercy. They kept explaining that their intention was only to scare Hu Jiaojiao. They hadn’t planned to really do anything to her.

They were just ordinary thugs. The only thing that they could do was scare people. They didn’t dare to do anything else.

Furthermore, they had accepted this task because they thought it would be quite simple.

It was just scaring a little girl.

After scaring her for a bit, Hu Jiaojiao would definitely stay away from Jian Yiling.

“Spare you? Are you kidding? You bastard! You weren’t thinking about mercy when you were harassing someone! And now, you dare to ask for mercy?! Bah! Are you not ashamed of yourself? I’m so disgusted by you guys. In fact, I think I’m going to throw up the food I had from last year’s New Year’s Eve Dinner.”

Luo Xiuen spat at the three of them before she stomped down on one of them again. She aimed for his vulnerable parts.

Just enough force to make sure that she doesn’t kill them, however, enough to make them suffer.

She had to make sure that they would never forget the pain.

Furthermore, Luo Xiuen didn’t discriminate amongst the three. She stomped down on the other two as well.

At that moment, the three of them rolled around on the ground in pain. Tears streamed down their face and they took sharp breaths of pain. The pain made them unable to scream.

Luo Xiuen still didn’t think that the punishment was enough. However, when she heard Hu Jiaojiao’s sobbing, she decided to comfort the little girl first.

Luo Xiuen wasn’t very good at comforting people. However, she still tried her best, “Don’t be afraid. Sister is here for you. They won’t harass you again. I remember you. You’re Yiling’s classmate, right? Do you still remember me?”

Whilst sobbing, Hu Jiaojiao nodded her head.

She still remembered Luo Xiuen.

Luo Xiuen continued to attempt to comfort Hu Jiaojiao, “Don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter today. You don’t need to be scared anymore. I’ll make them regret their actions!”
