"Help...help me..." a girl cried out urgently as she rushed out of the alley and grabbed Li Yang's arm.
Li Yang had such sharp eyes that he could tell at a glance that the person was a very pretty girl. Although her clothes were not exactly flattering, her naturally beautiful figure was something to be envied.
Li Yang glanced at the alley; it was dark and there was no light inside. It was quite a long way, but there was nothing to see there. It was past ten o'clock at night, and the place felt rather desolate and eerie.
"Who are you? Why are you yelling for help?" Li Yang's eyes were incredibly sharp. Even though the alley was dark, he could still see two burly men rushing out with fierce expressions, clearly chasing after the woman.
"My name is Su Xiaoxiao. I'm a migrant worker. I didn't offend anyone. I just ran into them. They looked at me with hostility from the start. I rushed out before they surrounded me. Please save me! I suspect they want to kidnap me to be a prostitute..." Su Xiaoxiao was a petite and pretty girl with a refreshing aura.
"Forced into prostitution? Holy crap, is that true?" Although he knew that all sorts of people did all sorts of things in Jiangdong City, and that he had heard about the disappearance of many innocent women on the news today, he knew that forcing women into prostitution was not uncommon in modern society. Didn't you see which bathhouse didn't have brothels?
Those seeking a higher social status went to bars, nightclubs, and clubs. Some attractive girls from out of town couldn't endure hardship, some were eager to get rich, and others simply had bad luck with men. But whatever the reason, prostitutes were everywhere in Jiangdong City.
"Of course it's true! A few days ago, a girl from Sichuan suddenly disappeared and didn't come back for many days. But she suddenly returned today, dressed very seductively and spending money very generously. Later, it was said that she was dragged into a gang, raped, photographed, and filmed, and forced into prostitution. That's the best-case scenario. Some people disappear and never come back. It's said that they were kidnapped, their organs were harvested alive and sold for money, and their bodies were fed to wild animals. Their fate is terrible... Please save me..."
Su Xiaoxiao was quite articulate; even in such a state of shock, she could still spout such a long string of words. Li Yang was somewhat impressed; it seemed her ventriloquism was quite good.
Before he could answer, two burly men rushed up to him from the alley. They were menacing, with muscular bodies and ruthless eyes, radiating a chilling aura. They were clearly no good and had done plenty of bad things.
"Get out of here, you little bastard! Don't meddle in other people's business, or you'll regret it!" a man shouted, pointing at Li Yang's nose.
"None of your business! You little bitch! This slut owes us money and wants to run away! Let me tell you, even if you escape to the police station, we'll still catch you and make sure you're dead!" Another man said, pulling the woman away. Clearly, the two men completely ignored Li Yang's presence.

The cheeks and chin are typically sensitive areas; a heavy blow to these areas can cause dizziness. The temples are similar, but the consequences are more severe, often leading to death. The chin and cheeks, however, are not.
The other man was furious, but in this situation, he was practically blind. Li Yang suddenly crouched down and kicked him hard in the shin, breaking his leg with a crack. Li Yang then lashed out with his knee, striking the man squarely in the chin. The man groaned and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
"Come with me." Li Yang knocked the two down, then turned and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao as they fled.
Such crimes are usually committed by a group, and it's unlikely that only these two people were involved; there are very likely accomplices hiding nearby.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Li Yang's hand and ran after him until they had run several streets and she was panting and her calves were cramping before she stopped.
"Does it hurt?" Li Yang stopped and asked what was wrong after he noticed that her running speed had slowed down significantly. He learned that she had a leg cramp, but even so, she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word despite being covered in sweat from the pain.
"It doesn't hurt," Su Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth.
Li Yang pulled down her pants and touched her smooth, white calf. The veins were bulging. Li Yang pressed his hands firmly on the veins, and Su Xiaoxiao's calf trembled violently. She let out a low groan, but did not scream or cry out in pain.
What a strong girl.
"Sit down." Li Yang didn't care about anything else and directly ordered her. Su Xiaoxiao obediently sat down. Li Yang grabbed her toes and soles of her feet to straighten her legs, pressed her toes in the opposite direction, and pressed down hard to stretch her hamstrings.
After a moment, Li Yang felt that her hamstrings were mostly loosened, so he released her leg and asked with concern, "Are you all better now?"
"Okay, thank you. What's your name? I'll remember it." Su Xiaoxiao pulled her leg back, stood up, and said very seriously.
"We're just strangers, no need for that!" Li Yang waved his hand, thinking, "Damn, I'll be an unsung hero for once."
“No, I must remember this. I’ve been working hard in Jiangdong City for months, and not a single person has ever been truly kind to me. They’re all after my looks. How attractive am I? And yet they’ve treated me like this. It shows how disgusting these people are. But you’re different. You genuinely want to help me. I must remember your name and repay you in the future.”
This girl suddenly became stubborn and wouldn't let it go.
Do you intend to repay me with your body?
"My name is Li Yang. Got it? Where are you going later?" Li Yang said helplessly.
"I don't know. Don't worry, I lived in the park for a month when I first came here, so it's no problem for me. But I can't go back to the place I rented. It's too chaotic there. I suspect they already know where I live, so I can't go back there." Su Xiaoxiao smiled brightly, then said somewhat sadly.
"That should be the case. They won't dare to make a move unless they've investigated you thoroughly. Let's stay at a hotel tonight and find somewhere else to stay tomorrow. It's too chaotic there, not good," Li Yang suggested.
"A hotel? That costs tens of yuan a night, no way. I'm healthy, I can just spend the night in the park, it won't be a problem." After a quick calculation, Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and rejected Li Yang's suggestion.
Li Yang felt a pang of inexplicable sorrow. How could there be such a girl?
"You don't need to pay, I'll pay for it, okay?" Li Yang's heart softened, and he wanted to go all the way since he had already saved her, so he might as well get her a hotel to stay in.
"No, no! You've already saved me, I already owe you a huge favor, I can't let you pay for anything else." Su Xiaoxiao immediately waved her hand and refused Li Yang's offer.
Li Yang felt helpless, knowing that she was strong-willed and proud, unwilling to accept his charity, and afraid of not being able to bear the favor.
"Huh? What happened to your leg? It looks like blood." Li Yang shrugged helplessly, but when he looked down, he saw that Su Xiaoxiao's pants were covered in blood, and even a section of her calf was bleeding.
Su Xiaoxiao blushed instantly, but hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
"How can she be alright? She's bleeding so much!" Li Yang stared intently at her leg, his voice filled with anger. Was she just going to endure it because she was afraid of the cost of going to the hospital?
Su Xiaoxiao had forgotten why Li Yang's eyesight was so good, since the streetlights in this section were still quite dim. She simply waved her hand and said, "It's alright, don't worry about it. Thank you."
Li Yang couldn't stand it anymore. Even if you want to save money, you can't do this, right? This is a matter of life and death. He couldn't help but pick Su Xiaoxiao up by the waist.
"Ah, what are you doing? Ah..." Su Xiaoxiao cried out in panic, struggling desperately in Li Yang's arms.
Fortunately, there were few people on the roadside at the moment, otherwise everyone would have thought that Li Yang was abducting a woman and would have been condemned by everyone!
"Stop yelling, I'm taking you to see a doctor!" Li Yang growled.
"Ah, see a doctor? I don't want to go! I'm not sick, I'm not sick, but my period has started!" Su Xiaoxiao finally screamed and revealed the truth.
Li Yang froze, staring at Su Xiaoxiao struggling in his arms. Due to her violent movements, some white flesh was exposed on her chest, but she didn't notice. However, Li Yang inadvertently caught a glimpse of it and exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie?"
"Um."
Su Xiaoxiao answered in a low voice.
Li Yang hurriedly put her down, and for a moment he didn't know where to put his hands. Damn, I wondered what was going on. How could such a thing happen?
