Chapter 76

Usually, robbers focus on stealing money, but these two guys didn’t even bother with words before getting ready to attack. It was as if their demand just now was merely for show.

“Wait a minute.”

The two young men were already prepared to charge, but they were unexpectedly stopped.

This was the first time they had encountered something like this.

“Who sent you?”

Although it was phrased as a question, Ye Yao’s tone was full of certainty, exuding a strong presence.

Both of their expressions changed, and they instinctively exchanged glances.

How did she know?

“Hmph, even if you don’t tell me, I already know that someone paid you to do this! How much did they give you? I’ll pay you double.”

“Double?”

One of the young men was immediately tempted.

The other one angrily kicked him. “We have ‘professional ethics,’ you know!”

Ye Yao had only been testing them, but now she was absolutely certain.

“You two have some nerve, stopping me in broad daylight like this.”

“Cut the nonsense. We’re ruining you today, no matter what!”

They knew this wasn’t an ideal place to make a move, but they hadn’t gotten another opportunity along the way.

What they didn’t expect was for Ye Yao to suddenly laugh—a chilling, eerie laugh.

“What are you laughing at?”

They had never met such a weirdo before.

Ye Yao’s gaze shifted past them, looking behind them. “Look, isn’t that a police officer?”

The two young men were so startled that their souls nearly left their bodies. What kind of rotten luck was this?!

They panicked and turned their heads to look.

In that instant, Ye Yao bolted.

Two against one, and they had knives—she wasn’t dumb enough to fight them head-on.

The two stretched their necks and saw nothing but an empty street.

Realizing they had been tricked, they turned back and found that Ye Yao had already put seven or eight meters between them.

“You damn fatso, stop right there! If we catch you, you’re dead meat!”

Furious, they used all their strength to chase after her.

Ye Yao ran as if her life depended on it. Only an idiot would stop.

She had a clear goal—getting back to the compound. As long as she reached that area, she would be safe.

“Are you sure the people you hired are reliable?”

Zhao Qingqing was both anxious and excited.

Wang Lanlan quickly nodded. “They’re professionals. There’s no way they’ll mess up.”

Zhao Qingqing had secretly taken her mother’s savings just to teach Ye Yao a brutal lesson.

“You made it clear to them, right? They must disfigure that fatso!”

Zhao Qingqing’s voice was venomous as she repeated her order.

That pig-like girl was already ugly, but she wanted her to have some horrific scars so she would become a “monster” and never dare to show her face again.

“I explained everything.”

Even Wang Lanlan’s heart was pounding. She had bullied Ye Yao before, but compared to this, those were just petty tricks.

This time, they were ruining someone’s life, and she wasn’t sure how to feel about it.

“You have to remember—this stays between us. No one else can ever know.”

“Don’t worry, Qingqing, I understand.”

“Big… big bro, stop… stop chasing… I’m dying here…”

On the narrow path, the two young men were panting heavily, drenched in sweat, staring at the figure ahead that stubbornly remained out of reach.

How the hell did a fat girl have this kind of speed and endurance?!

They had used every bit of their strength, but they still couldn’t catch her.
