Xu Shuiqing held her breath. The scene before her was quite different from what she had imagined.
Facing four thugs armed with sticks, Meng Yao still looked at ease. Sweat broke out on her forehead, but her eyes flashed with fierceness.
A man fell to his knees, his fat cheeks looked like red pig livers. He covered his chest in pain and didn't recover for a long time.
Xu Shuiqing was holding her bag in the same place, a little bit at a loss. She didn't expect Meng Yao to have such good boxing skills. She was still very frightened just looking at the stick that kept swinging at her.
One person was knocked to the ground again. He really didn't expect to meet Meng Yao, his nemesis. He roared and smashed the stick in Meng Yao's direction without caring about his life.
The other three also got up from the ground. As if influenced by the other person, they clenched the sticks in their hands.
Xu Shuiqing exclaimed, took a few steps forward and pulled Meng Yao to the side to hide.
Meng Yao glanced at Xu Shuiqing sideways.
The man missed his target, but did not give up.
The iron rod was hanging above her head, as if it would swing down at any second, and there was no way to avoid it. She was so nervous that she gritted her teeth: "Yaoyao, be careful!"
Meng Yao nimbly pulled Xu Shuiqing to the side and kicked him hard again, this time aiming at the opponent's vulnerable elbow.
"Ah!!" The man cried out in pain, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Meng Yao quickly pushed Xu Shuiqing back: "Sister Qing, don't worry about me. It's not pleasant to be hit by the iron bars in their hands, stay away from me!"
Although Xu Shuiqing was worried, he also knew that he would affect Meng Yao's performance and would not be conducive to her using her fists and feet. Xu Shuiqing could only step back, but his worried eyes stayed on Meng Yao.
The enemies kept popping up like endless leeks, and Meng Yao gradually felt overwhelmed.
She had been slacking off too much recently, and the means she used to save her life were no longer as effective as before. Apart from anything else, her physical strength alone could no longer return to its peak.
So facing four martial artists armed with weapons, it was impossible for her not to feel tired.
A protracted war is absolutely not an option, and I will probably be defeated before them.
Meng Yao clenched the iron rod he had just snatched in his right hand. The best way was to end the battle quickly.
Xu Shuiqing cried for help loudly. Although this underground garage might have been controlled by someone else a long time ago, she still didn't want to sit there and wait for death.
Meng Yao hit one of the men on the thigh with the iron rod in her hand. She controlled the strength of her hand. What she wanted to do was to restrain his movements instead of beating him seriously.
After all, this is a world ruled by law, and people's behavior is constrained. The previous "use any means to achieve the goal" approach can no longer be copied here.
Meng Yao originally did not want to use a weapon like an iron rod, which had great damage, because if she could not control it well, she would not benefit from it, because she was a female celebrity who was very easy to be on the hot search. However, if she did not solve the problem quickly, the consequences would be disastrous. Meng Yao knew her physical condition, and she knew that she could not outlast these professional fighters with her fists.
The reason why she has been able to hold on until now is nothing more than her accumulated skills and excellent sensitivity.
Hearing Xu Shuiqing's scream, Meng Yao glanced sideways with a stern look in her eyes.
“Yaoyao!!”
Meng Yao kicked him, then shook her head at Xu Shuiqing: "I'm fine, I just brushed past him."
When Xu Shuiqing saw that Meng Yao's slender white arms were still smooth, he was completely relieved.
The moment the iron rod swung towards Meng Yao's arm, she felt like her heart was about to stop.
If such a heavy weapon were to hit the arm, the consequences would be disastrous.
At the same time, sirens sounded from far away.
"Stand still!!"
Police armed with guns quickly took control of the situation.
Fortunately, the police arrived in time, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to hold on for too long.
It seems that I have to pick up the life-saving skills I lost. This is obviously a warm and harmonious world, why do I still encounter so many murders and kidnappings
A female police officer with gentle eyes came over and asked them what had happened.
Meng Yao answered them one by one.
Xu Shuiqing was still holding Meng Yao's hand tightly, and Meng Yao could feel the wetness in Xu Shuiqing's palm.
Xu Shuiqing's mood had not yet completely calmed down, and she clung tightly to Meng Yao. After the crisis just now, she had already regarded Meng Yao as her complete reliance and trust.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I finished taking the statement at the police station, and it was pitch black outside.
The driver from Xu Shuiqing's family came to pick her up and took Meng Yao with him.
Meng Yao originally planned to refuse, but at this time, whether she contacted Rong Yan or Guan Liang, she would have to explain.
What Meng Yao hates most is trouble.
Meng Yao and Xu Shuiqing sat down side by side, and Xu Shuiqing sighed for a long time.
"Yaoyao, thank you so much for what I did just now. I really don't know what I would do without you. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation... I..."
Meng Yao retracted her gaze from the window and gave Xu Shuiqing a soothing look: "It's all in the past. Besides, didn't you treat me to a lot of delicious food? You even gave me the cookies you baked yourself."
Xu Shuiqing looked over with a puzzled look.
"You give me so many delicious foods because you treat me as a friend."
"Me too, and it's normal for friends to help each other."
Meng Yao's expression was serious. Xu Shuiqing laughed at first, but then felt his eyes getting a little sore.
She nodded repeatedly: "You are right, I am very touched..."
Meng Yao's expression suddenly became stern. She said, "This incident was premeditated."
Xu Shuiqing was shocked at first, then his expression became complicated: "Indeed, this was premeditated. Whether it was the delay of the aquarium or the closure of the underground garage, this was all planned by someone."
Meng Yao nodded.
Xu Shuiqing sighed: "This incident was directed at me, it really implicated me..."
She paused again, as if she had thought of something.
"In short, their target is me."
Meng Yao thought for a moment: "There must be a mastermind behind them, and judging from the equipment and the methods of those four people, the mastermind behind the scenes has no intention of killing you. His purpose should be to teach you a lesson."
"Think about it, is there anyone you have an enemy with?"
I don’t know which possibility Xu Shuiqing thought of, his expression became worse and worse.
Meng Yao didn't rush her, nor did she ask any further questions.
After a while, Xu Shuiqing said, "I need to check this matter."
Just a few hours ago, Meng Yao's messages were flooded. She randomly read a few people's messages and simply replied, but did not mention what had just happened. After all, the matter had been resolved, and talking about it would only add to her troubles.
