The man bellowed at her. He stepped closer, reached out his hand, and snatched it away from her.

Ye Qianqian's hands were painfully knocked off the bag. When she looked up, the man reached for her at the same time and pushed her forward with his hands stretched out.

In that instant, Ye Qianqian clearly saw a cold, white light flash by. Ye Qianqian's body fell backward as the cold white light flashed across the place where she had just stood and missed her.

The half of the man's face that was showing looked a little ferocious and threatening. He clutched the little white bag in his hand tightly and came up to Ye Qianqian without a word.

Ye Qianqian's face turned as pale as a sheet as she screamed, "Ah! Help!" The man retreated back in a hurried and clumsy manner.

"Who is it?" someone yelled out loud in the distance.

The man in black turned around quickly and saw a security guard behind him. He clenched his teeth and gave her a death glare. Then, he dashed into the safety passageway within a couple of steps and instantly disappeared.

When the security guard saw Ye Qianqian, he immediately ran up and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

Ye Qianqian's heart was racing. Her heart was pounding incredibly hard, as if it were about to jump out of her chest. She looked up at the security guard's face, still in great shock. Her whole body was shaking.

Her body collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud. Then, she immediately opened her purse. She took out her cell phone with shaking hands and dialed Shen Zhilie's number.

Shen Zhilie's line was busy on the other end. "Hello, please do not hang up. The number you dialed is currently busy…"

Before the machine female voice finished speaking, he picked up the phone. "Hello?" She heard Shen Zhilie's voice.

Ye Qianqian 's heart was pounding terribly, and her fear made her mouth tremble. Her tears ran down her cheeks as she cried, "Old Shen, I almost got killed just now…"

…

When Shen Zhilie saw Ye Qianqian, she was sitting in the security booth with red, swollen eyes.

Seeing Shen Zhilie approaching her, Ye Qianqian stood up and leaped into his arms. She sniffed her nose and said, "Let's move out. It's absolutely awful. I thought I was going to die just now!"

Ye Qianqian's body was trembling, and so was Shen Zhilie's heart. He hugged her endearingly and said softly, "Don't be afraid. We're going. Don't go to work today, all right? Let's go back home first."

"Okay." Ye Qianqian nodded. She felt like her whole body was turning soft and numb.

Ye Qianqian still felt traumatized as she went upstairs. Shen Zhilie made a call for Ye Qianqian to ask for a work leave. He explained the situation over the phone. Then, he began to pack up and said, "Let's go stay in a hotel for a couple of days. Then, we can move out when I find a house."

Ye Qianqian held him in her arms and looked up at him. "How about I go ask my sister or Lili if there's any current vacant houses in her property. We might as well go buy one of their secondhand houses."

"Yes, you can decide."

"A new house would need decorations and a lot of other issues to settle. I don't think I can stay here any longer. Old Shen, do you think that person will come back to look for me?"

"Don't be silly. That won't happen."

"But Grandmother and the blind uncle warned me to guard myself against villains. What if this drug addict is one of those evil people? I think it's horrifying!"

"It's all right. Don't think about it too much." Shen Zhilie tapped on her forehead. "Your thoughts and imagination are way too wild. How can you be content with just being a comic editor? You should create a comic series yourself."

"Sobs. I think I'm going to get killed. I saw his face and those drugs. He also had a knife. Maybe that gun that was discovered in the garden a few days ago was also his. What if he killed someone and wiped our their traces after he was seen by them?"
