Chapter 12 Being held by Lin Ran
"Damn it, some blind thief still dares to steal from my house?"
Su Peixue was startled.
The man's drunken shouts and curses came from the doorway.
This should be the time he spent in the casino, so why did he suddenly come back?
Su Peixue held the photo with a cold face, and sure enough, she saw the man with a fierce look standing drunkenly at the door. She didn't say a word and prepared to leave directly.
"Oh, it's my daughter who's back!"
Zhai Daqiang was wearing a tattered white vest, reeking of alcohol, and grinning with yellowed teeth.
"Get lost, I have nothing to do with you."
Su Peixue's eyes were icy cold.
"You unfilial wretch! I raised you for ten years, you worthless bastard, how dare you speak rudely to me?"
Zhai Daqiang displayed his violent side after drinking, reaching out to pull Su Peixue's hair.
Su Peixue subconsciously reached into her sleeve, but then remembered that she had given the knife to Lin Ran.
Quickly take a step back to avoid it.
Hearing Zhai Daqiang's words, she found them laughable. For the past ten years, her mother had been working hard to support herself, and the little money she managed to save was always gambled away by this beast.
He fell ill from working too hard and eventually lost all the money he had saved for medical treatment.
She wanted nothing more than to kill that beast.
At that moment, a heavily made-up woman from the night walked into the room.
Zhai Daqiang put his arm around the woman's shoulder and said to Su Peixue, "This woman is your new mother. As long as you obey her, you can make a fortune!"
The woman of the night saw Su Peixue and her eyes lit up. "She's so beautiful! Just a few drinks with the boss and the money will flow in! Loosen your belt a little, spread your legs a bit, and you'll never have to worry about money again!"
*Smack!*
Su Peixue slapped the woman hard, making her stunned and blood seep from the corner of her mouth.
"How dare you hit me, you little bastard!"
The prostitute screamed and charged hysterically. Su Peixue was about to retaliate when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist; Zhai Daqiang had kicked her to the ground. The photo in her hand fell to the floor.
Zhai Daqiang stepped on his mother's photo, which immediately made the girl's eyes red. She grabbed a wine bottle from the ground and smashed it at Zhai Daqiang!
With a "bang," the wine bottle flew and smashed on his forehead, shattering as bright red blood flowed down Zhai Daqiang's face.
"Damn it! You little beast, I'll skin you alive today!"
Zhai Daqiang was furious and pulled out his belt, ready to beat him severely.
The woman of the night pulled him back: "With such a pretty face ruined, how can she help you make money? Aren't you going to pay off your gambling debts? Lock her in a room for a few days, starve her, and she'll behave! Then make her entertain clients, I guarantee she'll be obedient!"
Su Peixue took the opportunity to pick up the photo and hide it in her bosom. She secretly dialed her phone in her pocket, but Zhai Daqiang snatched the phone away, smashed it on the ground, and stomped on it until it was smashed to pieces.
Suppressing his violent rage, Zhai Daqiang and the prostitute left the room, locked the door from the inside, and turned off the power.
Suddenly, the room was plunged into complete darkness.
Su Peixue's face was pale. She stared blankly for a while, then slid down against the wall, curled up in the corner, and hugged the photo of her mother that had been trampled on. Her shoulders trembled violently.
One by one, glistening tears overflowed from her eyes, falling to the ground with a soft patter and spreading out.
The moon is very bright tonight. The bright moonlight shines through the window and onto the girl's pure face, revealing a line of glistening tears.
She suddenly stood up, tore off the bed sheet, twisted it into a thick rope, tied one end to the windowsill, and the other end around her waist.
Without hesitation, Su Peixue climbed over the windowsill, grabbed the railing with both hands, and dangled her long legs below, exploring until she stepped onto the air conditioner bracket and the rain shelter.
After regaining my balance, I untied the sheet from the windowsill. Carefully, I squatted down and tied the sheet back to the air conditioner unit.
Stepping down to the 5th floor's rain shelter, this tenement building no longer has many residents; most of the buildings are deserted. The windows are fitted with security bars, so the only place to stand is on the rain shelter or the security bars.
Su Peixue repeated this process over and over. Every time she reached the security window of the floor below, she would untie the bed sheet tied to the floor above, then squat down and tie it back up.
Finally, they made their way down to the third floor. As Su Peixue watched as she got closer and closer to the ground, the window on the top floor suddenly opened.
"You little bastard, where do you think you're going?!"
Zhai Daqiang quickly withdrew his head, and the sound of his rapid footsteps going downstairs made Su Peixue anxious, and she moved faster and faster.
However, when he stepped onto the security window on the second floor, he found that it was rusty due to years of disrepair, and the screws had fallen off, causing the entire security window to tilt instantly.
Su Peixue gasped in surprise. After her feet slipped, she gripped the bed sheet tightly with both hands, wrapping it around her arms as many times as possible, leaving her suspended in mid-air.
There are still seven or eight meters above the ground here. If you jump down directly, you are very likely to break your leg, or it could be even more dangerous.
She steeled herself and was about to bend her knees and jump down when she suddenly heard a familiar, gentle voice from below.
"Hang in there, I'll be right up."
Lin Ran's gentle voice sent a shiver down her spine.
A tremendous sense of security enveloped the girl.
Even though she had reached her physical limit and her body was about to fall off at any moment, she was no longer afraid.
Lin Ran was getting ready to sleep when she suddenly received a location from Su Peixue, and then there were no more messages.
He sensed something was wrong. The location was in a shantytown in the old city, so he immediately rode his electric scooter over.
Fortunately, they arrived in time and heard Su Peixue's exclamation.
After being reborn, Lin Ran felt stronger, both in terms of strength and agility. He quickly climbed up the exhaust pipe and reached out to hug Su Peixue.
Even with just one hand, he could hold the girl steadily, but the moment he touched her waist, Su Peixue's brows furrowed slightly.
"Are you injured?"
Lin Ran reached his hand up a little, originally intending to avoid suspicion, but now he had no choice and grabbed her.
Su Peixue trembled, letting Lin Ran hold her, feeling the strong and powerful arms of this big boy as she landed steadily on the ground.
Overwhelmed by a mixture of intense grievance and joy, Su Peixue couldn't help but throw herself into Lin Ran's arms and burst into tears.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Lin Ran gently patted her back.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Su Peixue choked back tears as she apologized. She knew she shouldn't have acted alone, which had ultimately made Lin Ran worry.
