Chapter 52: An Baoer is Not Afraid

The people in the private room were still toasting each other. At first, they were putting on a facade of civility, but now they had completely shed their pretense. Even their conversations had become explicit.

One of them sidled up to Yang Ligang, pushing him aside. “Miss Lin, you’re so young and beautiful, why are you in such a hurry to get married?”

His face was flushed, his eyes full of lust, and his hand even reached out to touch Lin Yuan’s back.

Lin Yuan’s face had already turned ugly. She had drunk that glass of wine, and her head was slightly uncomfortable. She pulled back her chair. “Please respect yourself.”

As soon as she said this, everyone in the private room looked at her.

However, none of those gazes were on her side. Everyone had an expression of amusement, as if any reaction she had at this moment was an extremely interesting performance in their eyes.

Lin Yuan endured the disgust and glanced at Yang Ligang. “Manager Yang, I don’t feel well. I want to leave.”

Before Yang Ligang could speak, the man beside him circled her chair back. “What’s the rush? Brother will send you back later.”

“No need, my husband is already here to pick me up.” Sheng Xiao couldn’t come, of course. He was still in the capital.

Even when she was calling on her phone just now, she didn’t know if she had gotten through.

“Perfect, call your husband up to have a drink with us. Let’s all have some fun.” He didn’t hide his desire at all. His eyes lingered on Lin Yuan’s face, then moved down her neck, settling on her chest.

Lin Yuan abruptly stood up. The movement was too large, and the chair made a sharp sound against the floor.

“Sorry.” She grabbed her bag and walked out, but someone grabbed her sleeve from behind. She turned around, and the man just now raised an eyebrow, not letting her go. “You think you can leave this private room today?”

Lin Yuan raised her hand and swung her bag hard at the man’s face. He yelped in pain and released her hand. “Yang Ligang, is this your real purpose today? Aren’t you afraid of losing your job?”

Yang Ligang sneered. “Lin Yuan, you really think you’re a big shot. Everything that happened in this private room today, wasn’t it all voluntary? To climb up to the rich and powerful, you’re willing to sacrifice your looks for benefits.”

“What? You’re getting cheap and still acting like you’re wronged?”

The men in the private room started to make a ruckus. Their ugly faces were exposed. Lin Yuan’s tightly clenched hand was sweating profusely.

What should she do!

Her eyes looked for help from the two colleagues who were the only ones who could possibly help her. But those two just lowered their heads in a slight shame, not daring to look at her. She knew that no one in this private room would help her today…

Her eyes scanned the direction of the entrance. Taking advantage of Yang Ligang’s inattention, she kicked him in the shin and ran out of the private room.

As she ran, she shouted, “Help!”

The men behind her seemed to find her actions ridiculous. They even laughed and stood up to applaud. As Lin Yuan’s hand grasped the door of the private room, her hair was grabbed from behind, and she was thrown against the wall.

A sharp pain surged through her. She covered the back of her head and gasped in shock.

“Lin Yuan, don’t get cocky!”

Then someone approached her. She raised her bag and swung it frantically in front of her. For a moment, no one could get close. The moment her arm was grabbed, she rushed to the dining table and grabbed a glass, smashing it hard against the wall.

The glass instantly shattered into pieces.

She held one of the shards and swung it back and forth. “Anyone who dares to come near me, I’ll cut their throat!”

The men weren’t afraid. Her delicate appearance actually made them even more excited. Her eyes were red, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were no longer neat. But her gaze was stubborn and tenacious.

She didn’t know that this scene further fueled the evil in these people’s hearts.

Lin Yuan, holding the glass shard, slowly moved towards the door. She no longer pointed the shard at the outsiders, but placed it at her own neck. Everyone held their breath.

Although killing a woman wasn’t unheard of for them, it wasn’t something they wanted to see. They hadn’t gotten a taste of this tempting dish yet, and it would be a pity to see it disappear so quickly.

For a moment, they really didn’t dare to go forward.

Lin Yuan took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly pulled open the door of the private room, rushing out without a second thought. Her arm was bleeding from the glass shard, and blood flowed down her arm, dripping onto the floor.

But she didn’t care. She only knew that as long as she was out of the private room, she would be saved.

The private room they were in was on the second floor, and there was only one private room on the second floor. She had to run down the stairs to the first floor to find help.

But the moment her foot stepped onto the stairs, she was grabbed around the waist. A strong, powerful arm dragged her back.

At this moment, she couldn’t think of anything else. She only knew that she couldn’t be taken back. Those people inside were all prominent figures in Yancheng. Even if something really happened to her inside, no one would help her get justice afterward.

So, no matter what, she had to save herself.

Her fingers desperately grabbed the railing at the top of the stairs. She turned her head and bit the arm behind her. Taking advantage of the man’s loosening grip, she found an opportunity and rushed down the stairs.

But her body was too exhausted, and she tripped and rolled down the stairs.

Lin Yuan only felt that everything in front of her was getting blurry. Her whole body ached. She tried her best to open her eyes, but she couldn’t resist the gradual weakening of her nerves. Her vision went completely black.

When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.

Her eyes weren’t open yet, but the distinctive smell of disinfectant in the hospital had already spread. She sat up in bed with a start, waving her arms and shouting.

“An Baoer, An Baoer is not afraid.” A magnetic and worried male voice woke Lin Yuan from her nightmare. She opened her eyes and saw Sheng Xiao sitting by the bed, his face full of concern. He gently patted her back.

Lin Yuan just frowned slightly, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

The grievances, fear, and aftershocks in her heart surged up at this moment. Her chest heaved violently. She reached out to touch Sheng Xiao’s face. “Sheng Xiao, yesterday I…”

“It’s okay! They didn’t touch you!”

Sheng Xiao’s heart ached like needles at this moment. He gently hugged Lin Yuan. “Don’t be afraid.”

Lin Yuan’s crying went from soft sobbing to loud crying. She buried her face in Sheng Xiao’s shoulder, crying uncontrollably. She was so emotional that she could barely utter a complete sentence.

“Sheng Xiao～”

“I’m here.”

“Sheng Xiao～”

“An Baoer is not afraid.”

“Sheng Xiao, I wasn’t bullied by them.”

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Xiao’s hand on her back tightened abruptly. His heart felt like it had been hammered a few times, dull and suffocating.
