At one o’clock in the morning, Jin Nian walked alone on the road.
This happened to be a street lined with bars, and at this moment, people were coming and going, surrounded by deafening music. Now and then, someone would whistle at her.
Even though the public safety in this area was not bad, when people drank too much, they could do anything.
At this moment, Jin Nian couldn’t help but feel a little afraid.
Jin Nian couldn’t help but curse Qiao Ranran in her heart. If she had known earlier, she would have left in Yu Feifei’s car.
It was better to be a third wheel than to walk on an unsafe street.
Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t even notice the man with a blurry look standing in front of her.
Fortunately, she snapped back to reality just in time to avoid a collision.
“Sorry.”
She apologized for nearly bumping into the man and quickly moved to the side. Little did she know, the man intentionally followed her and blocked her way. “Hey, gorgeous, where are you heading? Brother’s embrace is right here. You’re heading in the wrong direction.”
As soon as he spoke, his alcohol-laden breath almost made Jin Nian gag.
She sidestepped, trying to avoid him, but he suddenly grabbed her hand.
“I said Brother’s embrace is right here. Where else are you planning to go?”
Jin Nian felt a sense of panic. Despite her efforts, she was just a vulnerable woman. Confronted with such a burly man, she was defenseless.
She struggled to free her hand, but the man’s strength was overwhelming, and she couldn’t break free.
Just as she contemplated whether she should shout for help, a low and simmering voice echoed from behind.
“Release your filthy hands.”
Upon hearing that voice, Jin Nian’s heart raced with excitement.
She turned around and called out, “Lu An!”
Lu An walked over with a stern expression, saying nothing. He kicked the drunk man without hesitation.
Grabbing Jin Nian’s hand, he positioned her behind him, shielding her from harm.
Though the drunk man had managed to get up, Lu An swiftly kicked him down again. Following that, he closed in and delivered a series of punches to the man’s face.
“How dare you lay a finger on my people!”
The intoxicated man was utterly defenseless against Lu An’s onslaught.
Though he had intended to retaliate, Lu An’s rapid strikes rendered him powerless to resist.
“I’m sorry, I apologize. Please stop, don’t hit me anymore!”
However, Lu An’s eyes were ablaze with fury, and he showed no signs of relenting.
Observing Lu An’s relentless assault that seemed on the brink of causing serious harm, Jin Nian hurriedly stepped forward to intervene.
“Please, don’t hit him anymore. I think he’s on the verge of collapse.”
No matter the circumstances, taking a life was not an option.
Upon hearing Jin Nian’s plea, Lu An finally turned to look at her.
“What did he do to you just now?”
“Nothing, he didn’t do anything to me.”
Lu An’s expression softened upon hearing her response.
“Why did you think it was a good idea to be out alone so late?”
“Erm… I’m just taking a stroll.”
Jin Nian felt awkward, then asked, “1 didn’t expect to run into you here, what a coincidence.”
“You think this is a coincidence? If I hadn’t come out to find you, would I be here?”
Lu An held Jin Nian’s hand as he spoke.
“1 didn’t expect you to come… Why didn’t you mention it earlier?”
“If I had told you, would you have let me come?”
Jin Nian remembered that she had discouraged him from coming.
“I can go home by myself. You don’t have to come all the way here.”
“After what just happened, you think you can make it home on your own?” Lu An realized that Jin Nian needed a lesson.
Speaking of which, his arrival might indeed be considered a coincidence.
He was drinking with Lu Feng when he received a call from his girlfriend saying that he was going to pick someone up, so he left him alone.
Lu An was so bored that he wanted to look for Jin Nian.
Just as he was about to call Jin Nian, Lu Feng’s words echoed in his mind.
If he didn’t give Jin Nian space, would she be unable to take it one day?
What if Jin Nian complained that he didn’t give her space?
So, he put his phone back. He decided not to call, and he had given her the space she needed.
In his boredom, he picked up his phone and opened Jin Nian’s social media. He happened to see the photo Jin Nian had posted that night. In the photo, Jin Nian was hugging one of the girls, who looked strikingly similar to Lu Feng’s girlfriend.
He couldn’t resist sending it to Lu Feng for confirmation, and he indeed received Lu Feng’s confirmation.
It was Lu Feng’s girlfriend!
Lu An was thrilled like he had just discovered a treasure. He got the address from Lu Feng and set off.
He had intended to surprise Jin Nian, but before the surprise arrived, a shock did.
That d*mn despicable person dared to bother Jin Nian!
Lu An was furious, but his fear was even stronger.
He dared not imagine what might have happened to Jin Nian tonight if he hadn’t arrived in time.
His precious treasure was almost tainted by such a person..
