Chapter 380 The air is better up high.
After hearing Zhao Yong's instructions, everyone felt much more relaxed. Song Tingnan also felt relieved, as she had been unable to eat or sleep properly these past few days.
Zhao Man said, "Sister, you just haven't experienced enough. You need to learn from us 'old hands' who can remain calm and composed even when faced with overwhelming pressure."
Song Tingnan quickly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, which made everyone burst into laughter. Now they were just waiting for Du Hongzhi to make his move.
The next day, on her way to the hospital, Tingnan was stopped by a thin girl: "Sister, don't you remember me? I was lucky to meet you that day, otherwise they would have kidnapped me. Sister, what's your name? Where do you live? I've been trying to thank you these past few days and invite you to dinner, but I haven't been able to find you."
Song Tingnan sized up the girl in front of him. She was tall and thin, with sunken cheeks, looking somewhat malnourished. Her frail body seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her over. Her skin was fair, though a little rough, and her large, bright eyes were incredibly endearing.
"Who are you? Did I save you? You've mistaken me for someone else." Song Tingnan avoided her and quickened her pace towards the hospital. For some reason, this girl gave Tingnan a strange feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The girl, of course, couldn't catch up with her and was so anxious she was stamping her feet behind her. This little incident was completely forgotten by Ting Nan once she got busy at the hospital.
Unexpectedly, on her way back to the school dormitory after get off work, she "encountered" it again. "Hey brat, stop right there! Daughters have to pay for their fathers' debts, you can't escape it." Several burly men were chasing a petite figure.
"Sister, sister, please save me!" It was indeed her.
"Those who know what's good for them will stay away. Paying back debts is a matter of course," the leader, a man with a fierce face, yelled at Ting Nan.
"Sister, help me! I didn't owe the money, and I don't have any money at all, waaaaah..."
"What are you crying for? If you don't have money, then work for me and pay off your debts with your wages." The leader's sharp and ruthless eyes swept over them.
Song Tingnan thought it made sense; if you don't have money, do something. The girl was trembling with fear, sobbing as she tugged at Tingnan's clothes, "Sister, please help me! They...they're taking me to work as a prostitute...please save me."
"Ah!" Song Tingnan was shocked. "So blatant? Aren't they cracking down on prostitution right now?"
"Okay, let me help you!"
"Really? Thank you, sister. I knew you were beautiful inside and out."
"Let me call the police for you. What's your name?"
The burly man was furious. "You brat, minding your own business! You actually wanted to call the police! Everyone, get them! Take them both back. This girl is even more attractive; we won't lose out."
Five burly men, three rushed towards Song Tingnan, who dodged while glancing at the girl's side, and one grabbed the girl. He slowly dodged left and right, as if playing a game of tag. The leader stood aside without making a move. Wouldn't it have been easy to catch him if they attacked from both sides?
Song Tingnan was suspicious and didn't want to get entangled with them any longer. She still had a ton of homework to finish and was thinking about how to finish things quickly when one of the big, dark-skinned guys threw a quick right punch at Tingnan's face. "Hey, don't hurt her face, she's not good to entertain guests!"
The burly leader exclaimed in surprise, then watched as Song Tingnan nimbly dodged to the right, avoiding the punch. At the same time, she made a figure-eight gesture with her left hand, reaching out to grab the assailant's right wrist. Then, with her right hand, she grabbed the assailant's right upper arm, turned her body to the left, stepped forward with her right foot to the left front, turned her back to the assailant, hoisted his arm onto her shoulder, and then, with a "whoosh," the big, dark-skinned man was hanging from a camphor tree by the roadside.
"Ah!" The big, dark-skinned man clung tightly to the tree branch, too frightened to move. Two other men rushed over, and Song Tingnan, showing no favoritism, helped them up as well; the air was better up there.
"You...you..." Seeing the fierce-looking older brother, he was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, ignoring his younger brother and turning to run. He stumbled, got up, and continued running, naturally not caring about the girl who was already stunned with fear.
"If we don't leave now, when will we?" But the girl quickly came to her senses and rushed towards Ting Nan, hugging her leg tightly. "Sister, you're so amazing! Please, you have to take me with you, otherwise if they catch me, I'm doomed."
Song Tingnan looked at the pendant on her foot, shook it, but it wouldn't come off. "Okay, come with me."
The girl was overjoyed and blinked as she introduced herself: "Sister, my name is Li Li. My father is a gambling addict, and you've already been used to pay off his debts. Now it's my turn. Sister, that bar looks normal from the outside, but it's actually in the Red Cave District, a place that does that kind of thing..."
