Mu Mian followed closely behind!
Mu Mian ran slowly, while Gong Heng and Xue Ye ran fast, and Xue Ye often helped Lin Xiangsi move things and such when she was alone, so he was very familiar with the alleys, especially when he heard Lin Xiangsi's cries for help coming from a box.
He headed straight for the source of the sound.
From a distance, Mu Mian could hear screams, men's and women's. By the time she arrived, the scene before her was so heartbreaking she couldn't breathe.
Lin Xiangsi had large swaths of blood on her forehead, her hair was disheveled, a result of someone dragging her by her hair and smashing her against the wall, and her clothes were in disarray, her body covered in shocking red marks. Xue Ye had covered her with his jacket, overwhelmed with a pain that left him unable to breathe, while three burly men lay on the ground, brutally beaten.
Xue Ye stood up, holding the unconscious Lin Xiangsi in his arms, his voice trembling.
"I'll take her to the hospital."
