Chapter 47: Butter is Butter After All
As the man approached, Lu Zhiyin’s body stiffened. She spun the wheels, trying to escape as quickly as possible. She absolutely did not want to end up like the woman pinned against the power pole. Her hands, tense, were a bit unruly, which slowed her down. As the man in her sight got closer, Lu Zhiyin grew more anxious. She turned and quickly headed back the way she came. With her back to the firelight, her vision was once again plunged into darkness, the sound of rapidly spinning tires echoing in her ears.
“Tsk…”
Behind Lu Zhiyin, the man watched her retreating back, a flicker of interest rising. He thought he saw that the fleeing figure was a woman? Considering his boss could enjoy women while he could only watch, the man felt a pang of resentment. The gaze fixed on Lu Zhiyin’s back gradually became tinged with desire. He hadn’t had a woman in a while. Brothel fees were expensive, and people like themselves couldn’t afford it. Moreover, brothels were usually protected by large gangs, so they couldn’t just get it for free. To taste a little bit of “meat,” the thugs living in this abandoned residential area basically captured other unfortunate women in the area to vent their sexual desires. Even so, not everyone got a chance.
Thinking of this, the man’s gaze towards Lu Zhiyin became increasingly greedy. A young woman, though he couldn’t see her face clearly, she should be good? Even if she was a disabled person in a wheelchair, it wouldn’t matter. The man hadn’t tried disabled people before, because people in this area were very poor. Being disabled meant losing the means to earn money, and they would only starve to death. Disabled people from outside this area also wouldn’t risk coming here alone. Wanting to capture Lu Zhiyin more and more, the man quickened his pace and started to jog.
“…Leng Qing Qiu… Leng Qing Qiu, hurry out…”
Unaware of the man’s thoughts, Lu Zhiyin just kept fleeing. As she fled, she tried to call out to Leng Qing Qiu for help. Although still nervous, her hands moved faster than when she first started fleeing, making it difficult for the man to catch up for a while. However, it was nighttime, and the road conditions were unclear. The roads in this area were also very bad. When Leng Qing Qiu pushed her before, she could more or less avoid some pits or bumps, but now she couldn’t. The footsteps behind her made Lu Zhiyin dare not stop at all.
Finally, Lu Zhiyin met with trouble. One of the wheelchair’s wheels rolled over an irregular stone the size of a fist. Lu Zhiyin had no time or ability to adjust the wheelchair properly, and naturally, the wheelchair tipped over.
“Aah…”
Her left forearm scraped across the rough ground, and the burning pain made it difficult for Lu Zhiyin to turn over. The overturned wheelchair pressed down on her, making it difficult to get up, let alone right the wheelchair. Compared to the pain in her hand, what terrified her more were the approaching footsteps.
“…Hoo… hoo…”
Jogging to where Lu Zhiyin had fallen, the man panted. He hadn’t expected this disabled person to move her wheelchair so quickly. He looked back; the fire was no longer visible, so his boss and the others wouldn’t find him. He could enjoy this rare young woman alone. With this thought, the man grabbed Lu Zhiyin’s grazed hand and pulled her out of the wheelchair.
In the moonlight, the man saw Lu Zhiyin’s face clearly, and her beautiful, but fearful, red eyes.
“Hoo… hoo…”
This was probably the first time the man had seen such a beautiful woman, and his breathing grew heavier. He reached out and, without a second thought, began to grope her, trying to tear off Lu Zhiyin’s clothes. Lu Zhiyin, of course, would not submit to a man, and she struggled.
“Pervert, get away… Don’t touch me, Leng Qing Qiu, Leng Qing Qiu, where are you, hurry up and come out!”
Cursinng him, Lu Zhiyin vigorously used her right hand to slap the man’s face, while also calling out to Leng Qing Qiu. Still, there was no response.
“Stop shouting, no one will come to save you, little beauty. Just yield to me.”
Being cursed at was commonplace, so the man wasn’t angry. He pushed Lu Zhiyin down, then stepped on Lu Zhiyin’s right shoulder with one foot and her right wrist with the other.
“Ah… Get off…”
The piercing pain was unbearable for Lu Zhiyin. She tried to use her left hand to pry off the man’s foot but was kicked away fiercely. The bones in her hand felt like they were about to crack, and Lu Zhiyin was almost speechless from the pain. Tears began to well up in her eyes again.
The man did not let Lu Zhiyin go. He punched and kicked her for a long time, ensuring she had lost her ability to resist before preparing to start the so-called main event. Leng Qing Qiu, hidden in the dark, finally made her move when she noticed the man starting to undress himself. Taking out her high-powered flashlight, the blinding white light made the man unable to open his eyes, and he stepped back two paces. As the man rubbed his eyes, Leng Qing Qiu quickly rushed in front of him. Her hiding spot was very close; in the blink of an eye, another beautiful girl appeared before the man, which made him a little stunned. Before the man could react, Leng Qing Qiu struck his Adam’s apple forcefully with the handle of the flashlight, then went behind him and wrapped her forearm around his neck.
Although a woman, Leng Qing Qiu was not weak in combat. Ordinary adult men were no match for her, but she usually didn’t use force, instead opting for injections and the like. This was mainly to avoid the loud noises of a fight that might attract unnecessary trouble. Soon, Leng Qing Qiu had subdued the man who was insurmountable for Lu Zhiyin. Releasing her grip, Leng Qing Qiu let the man’s body fall, and in the light of the flashlight, she looked at Lu Zhiyin lying on the ground.
The young girl lay sprawled on the rough, uneven ground, her hair messy, her left sleeve torn, and her right hand bearing several footprints. Her red eyes were filled with fear, still shaken, and tears flowed continuously. Moving closer, one could see the fine sweat on the girl’s forehead, likely cold sweat from the pain. Leng Qing Qiu righted the wheelchair nearby and then bent down, trying to help Lu Zhiyin up, but was dodged.
“It hurts, it hurts so much…”
Crying out in pain, Leng Qing Qiu noticed the girl’s left hand trembling continuously, and a two-centimeter wide, almost ten-centimeter long bloodstain on her forearm was quite shocking. Leng Qing Qiu realized her appearance might have been a little too late. She had originally intended for Lu Zhiyin to get a minor injury so she would have a reason to ask for leave. Now, it seemed the injury wasn’t minor at all.
“…It’s okay, it’s okay.”
After gently comforting Lu Zhiyin, who was still in shock, Leng Qing Qiu carefully picked her up and placed her in the wheelchair. Then, she opened her car and put the man in the back seat. After placing Lu Zhiyin in the passenger seat and her wheelchair in the trunk, Leng Qing Qiu did not prepare to leave. She had been following Lu Zhiyin the whole time, and she saw whatever Lu Zhiyin saw.
