Chapter 166

Shi Tingyu suddenly found that the man in black’s movements had become much sharper, catching her arm off guard.

She lifted her leg to kick, but he pinned it down with his own leg.

Hands pressing against each other, legs immobilized, they found themselves at a stalemate.

It was only temporary; Shi Tingyu exerted all her strength to barely stop his actions.

Sweat broke out on her face as she wondered if she could use her spatial ability to grab a brick and smash it on his head to end this.

But she couldn’t be certain of where the brick would land. If he grabbed it, the brick could become a weapon against her.

Shi Tingyu desperately wished for a Lijian at this moment. With a Lijian, she could finish him off!

The longer the stalemate dragged on, the weaker Shi Tingyu felt in her grip.

Just as she was about to make a desperate move with her space, her scanning function indicated a woman approaching the mouth of the alley.

Shi Tingyu looked back and muttered a curse under her breath.

Damn it! Why did it have to be Lu Wenchan?!

She cursed her luck. She had hoped for someone to come, preferably someone she got along with or at least a stranger, anyone but Lu Wenchan, who seemed to dislike her at every turn.

Or better yet, no one should come, so she could resolve this with her space. But now, with them both watching, how could she use her space?

Lu Wenchan’s legs were trembling at the mouth of the alley.

She had come out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, ready to ride her bike home, only to find Shi Tingyu’s bike lying on the ground.

She definitely wouldn’t mistake that shiny new 26-inch bike.

Her first thought was that Shi Tingyu had gotten into trouble. That would be great.

But just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard cries for help coming from the nearby alley.

The voice was all too familiar; it was Shi Tingyu’s.

Curious to see what trouble the other woman had gotten herself into, Lu Wenchan stealthily peeked into the alley.

But Shi Tingyu was as cunning as ever. She caught Lu Wenchan’s gaze the moment she looked over, locking eyes with her.

In that instant, Lu Wenchan’s mind went blank.

Shi Tingyu felt herself losing her grip. She shouted towards the mouth of the alley where Lu Wenchan stood, “Lu Wenchan! Come help!”

Lu Wenchan trembled all over, and the man in black also turned towards the mouth of the alley.

Two men, one incapacitated and one restrained by her, as long as Lu Wenchan came over to hit the man in black with a stick or a brick!

But Lu Wenchan showed no intention of coming out.

Shi Tingyu, considering the woman’s identity, shouted, “Lu Wenchan! They’re spies! We can’t let them get away!”

She was gambling on Lu Wenchan’s sense of duty as a member of the Cultural Corps and the prevailing hatred for spies in this era.

This era was turbulent but also a time of unprecedented unity among the people.

Most people idolized their leaders from the bottom of their hearts.

Collective honor outweighed everything.

Especially reactionary forces like spies.

When Lu Wenchan heard that they were spies, she hesitated fiercely.

Her brother was a soldier, and she was now a member of the Cultural Corps. Despite her dislike for Shi Tingyu, years of ideological education made it impossible for her to leave.

Seeing her hesitation, Shi Tingyu couldn’t help but hope, “Lu Wenchan, hurry up! Hit him in the head! Otherwise, it’ll be too late!”

Seeing the black-clad man struggling more and more, Lu Wenchan knew Shi Tingyu couldn’t hold on much longer.

She gritted her teeth, picked up a half-brick from the ground, and ran over. In the terrified eyes of the man in black, she swung the brick towards his head.

Lu Wenchan was resolute in this action.

If he didn’t go down, she might go down instead!

For her own life, she had to put all her strength into it.

One could say that the training in the Cultural Corps was not in vain. At least Lu Wenchan’s strength had grown considerably.

With one brick down, Shi Tingyu felt the man in black’s grip loosen.

With a fierce expression, Lu Wenchan struck him again with the brick.

Finally, the man in black collapsed.

With him down, Shi Tingyu’s hands and feet were free.

She gasped for breath, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Damn, she had overdone it.

Just then, Lu Wenchan widened her eyes, looking behind Shi Tingyu with a look of horror.

Shi Tingyu’s hairs stood on end in an instant. Without thinking, her body moved quicker than her mind, and she swung a punch.

The impact of something hard made her feel no pain.

This punch knocked down the blue-shirted man who had just risen, intending to ambush Shi Tingyu.

Seizing the moment, Shi Tingyu snatched the brick from Lu Wenchan and also struck the man’s head.

The man in blue instantly collapsed.

This time, he truly couldn’t get up anymore. Shi Tingyu had just seen his eyes roll back before he passed out.

With both men down, Shi Tingyu finally relaxed completely, leaning against the wall for support.

Lu Wenchan swallowed nervously.

At this moment, she truly witnessed Shi Tingyu’s ferocity.

These were two big, tall men, yet they were brought down by Shi Tingyu, who seemed soft and gentle.

Although Lu Wenchan had contributed with her brick, just seeing Shi Tingyu throw a punch was enough to send chills down her spine.

Feeling the gaze on her, Shi Tingyu glanced at Lu Wenchan.

Lu Wenchan instinctively took a step back.

Shi Tingyu was now feeling a bit weak in the knees. She looked at Lu Wenchan, who could still move her feet, and said, “Can you still walk? Help me go to the nearby police station to report this…”

Lu Wenchan didn’t know why she was obeying her. By the time she realized it, she was already running towards the direction of the police station.

She reassured herself that with both bricks thrown, it didn’t matter running this errand.

Upon hearing that they were military personnel from the Military District and had caught two spies, the police hurriedly followed Lu Wenchan towards the alley.

Those who couldn’t leave made a call to the barracks.

They were okay dealing with regular public security or criminal cases, but spies had to be handed over to the barracks in the end.

Han Tuan was shocked when he received the news.

As soon as he heard that Shi Tingyu and Lu Wenchan, two military personnel, had encountered spies, he was extremely anxious.

After hanging up, he found Lu Wenbin and Lu Weiguo, and had them bring two soldiers to drive over to handle the situation.

Lu Weiguo’s face turned pale upon hearing that his wife had encountered spies.

Without saying a word, he took people and rushed towards the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

The newly opened cooperative was not far from the barracks, and they had been here to buy things before, so they were familiar with the route and arrived quickly.

By now, there was no one left in the alley beside the cooperative.

Their car headed straight for the police station.

Inside the police station, police officers had fetched a doctor from Zhujia Village’s pharmacy to bandage the two spies, lest they escape before questioning was complete.

Fortunately, although their wounds looked frightening, they were not life-threatening.
