Chapter 4: The Hero Saves the Beauty

  "Neurosis! Shameless!" Chu Xue only gave me a six-word review, glared at me venomously, and then stepped over my obstruction, clicking her high heels, swinging her unattainably high buttocks, and proudly left.

  I stood there in a daze, wondering if I should chase after her. But her criticism was quite reasonable - for someone like me, a penniless young adult, to intercept beauties on the street in broad daylight, isn't that being mentally ill and shameless?

  As I gazed at Chu Xue's departing back, I made a silent vow in my heart: Even if your body is as impenetrable as a copper wall and iron fortress, I'll still conquer your stronghold and make you submit to me as my woman!

  After seeing the Chu Xue disappear into the crowd, I continued to squat under the camphor tree, peeking at the endless stream of beauties in front of me, but my mood was as if I had been hit by Yang Guo's melancholy soul-palming technique, and a sense of sadness began to spread.

  As the sky was approaching dusk, I listlessly closed my "work tool" eyes and prepared to head home. However, when passing by Liu Nan Alley, I unexpectedly ran into Chu Xue again. Running into a goddess twice in one day is no longer a coincidence; I stubbornly believed that this was fate bestowed upon us by heaven.

  I decided to seize this great opportunity, so I took big strides forward, wanting to catch up with Chu Xue. However, before I could catch up with the goddess, three or four robust men were quicker than me and got there first.

  They got ahead of me and blocked Chu Xue's path, damn it, mantis catching cicada, yellow sparrow in the rear! I cursed a sentence, then hid behind an electric pole, no matter what, observe first.

  The man in the lead was burly and rough, with his chest open and a large area of black hair on his chest struggling like a dark cloud. His face, which seemed to have been ravaged by cannonballs, was a mess, but it had a certain air of Zhang Fei about it, making one's heart tremble with fear.

  A man who looked like Zhang Fei glared at Chu Xue and growled, "You stinky girl! Hand over your stuff quickly, or else don't blame us for being rude to you!"

  "What's going on! I don't know what you're talking about!" Chu Xue subconsciously took a step back, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, adopting a defensive posture.

  "It seems you won't shed tears until you see a coffin, so don't blame us for being ruthless. Brothers, tie her up and take her back for severe interrogation. If this bitch refuses to speak, then we'll rape her first and kill her later!" A cold, sinister smile spread across Zhang Fei's face, emitting an aura of evil.

  "Bastard! You... what do you want to do?" Since Chu Xue was facing away from me, I couldn't see her face, but from her voice, I could clearly hear the trembling fear.

  Watching several men about to rush up and bind Chu Xue, at this critical moment, if I don't stand out, I'm afraid I won't have the qualifications to be a man for the rest of my life. Although I know I'm not their match, I'll go all out!

  "Halt! What you want is here with me! Don't bother her!" I bellowed, striding forward to block Chu Xue's path and throwing her a glance that signaled now was the time to make a run for it.

  Chu Xue understood my meaning, looked at me for a moment, then turned and left. Those men didn't chase after Chu Xue, but instead stared tightly at me. Zhang Fei grabbed my collar and said fiercely: "You little brat, you say the thing is with you, now hand it over quickly!"

  Only ghosts know what they want. I thought for a moment, and continued to lie: "Such an important thing, of course, I won't carry it with me, but I hid it in a place, you can follow me to get it."

  "Damn it, don't even think about playing tricks on me, or I'll make you die a terrible death!" Before I knew it, Zhang Fei had a shiny short knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was pressed against my abdomen.

  My god, grandpa is here! How can they still be wielding knives? It seems that these people are not just petty thugs who eat vegetarian food, but bloodthirsty murderers who play with their lives. Otherwise, why would they carry controlled knives with them? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

  "Oh, big brother! Can you please not hold the knife against me? It's really scary, I'm timid and have never seen such a scene before... In this desperate situation, I can only ask them to put down the knife first, then wait for an opportunity to escape."

  Seeing my pitiful and timid appearance, Zhang Fei snorted in disdain and ridiculed me as a coward. He then put away his short knife, tucked it into his waist, and in that brief moment, I seized the opportunity to turn around and run away.

  However, I only took two steps forward when my butt was kicked heavily. This kick was as fast as lightning and the force was too strong. I felt like my body was like a willow catkin, floating lightly in the air for about 2 meters before crashing to the ground, losing half of my life!

  Grandma, I'm dying of pain! This time I'm done for, I've met a formidable opponent. I gritted my teeth and struggled to get up, but only managed to crawl halfway before a heavy foot stepped on my back again, making me hug the ground intimately once more.

  "Damn it, you dare to cheat me! Are you tired of living?! Zhang Fei stepped on my back and scolded for a while, then said to the brothers beside him, "All of you, take off your socks and stuff them into his mouth. Today I'm going to practice this human punching bag thoroughly."

  Ah! Unbelievable! I can endure physical pain, being beaten up is nothing, but what I never expected was that they would actually use a filthy stinky sock to gag my mouth, it's utterly humiliating!

  But in my current wretched state, I couldn't resist at all, and could only silently lament in my heart while continuously begging them with my mouth: "Everyone, big brothers, I didn't intentionally cheat you, it's just that the woman from earlier was too beautiful, so I had a pang of sympathy, actually I don't know her at all, please spare me! Spare me...!"

  "Awesome! Still want to learn from others' heroic deeds of saving the beauty? I spit on you! You don't even dare to take a good look at yourself, yet you have the audacity to provoke us, haha..."

  They didn't welcome my plea with a smile, and after a moment, a smelly sock was stuffed into my mouth, the smell almost suffocating. Damn you for eternity, may you not die well, may you have leftover grievances, I cursed them fiercely in my heart.

  Right after that, my body was greeted with a flurry of kicks like raindrops. I curled up and tried to protect my vital parts as much as possible - first, my face; second, the things in my pants. Who knows how long they beat me for before they left, grumbling and laughing.

  I spat out the filthy thing in my mouth, damn it, this taste makes me want to vomit, anyway, at least I'm still alive, being alive is a good thing, as they say, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, today's humiliation will be repaid double tomorrow.

  An hour later, I was finally able to stumble along the road. However, I didn't go home, but instead looked for a nearby food stall, ordered two small dishes, and asked for a bottle of white wine. I thought that alcohol could not only numb the pain, but also drown my worries, so why not?

  Later, I got drunk and was staggering around, but still had a bit of consciousness left. With this weak consciousness, I stumbled back to the Xiangxiang Garden community, my rental apartment is in Building 19, Unit 3, Room 402. Because it's an old residential building from the 90s, only six floors high and no elevator, I could only groggily climb the stairs up!

  It felt like I had climbed to the fourth floor, so I fumbled in my pants pocket for the key with a dizzy mind. The intoxication grew stronger and stronger, and overlapping illusions began to appear before my eyes. I wasn't even sure if the key was inserted into the lock or not, but after shaking it back and forth a couple of times, I pushed the door open, and it really did open!

  As I walked into the entrance, I threw away my shoes and put on slippers, then swayed towards the bedroom. When I was still a few steps away from the bedroom, a woman's enchanting and seductive voice suddenly echoed in my ears...
