“Then give me back my cell phone first!” Zhang Simiao said as she stretched out her trembling hand: “I have to call my father and ask him to pick me up at the gate of the community.”
“Okay!” The driver reached out to take the mobile phone on his lap, but he also stepped on the accelerator. The mobile phone he put on his lap immediately slid below. Then the driver said, “Oh!” and gloated: “It fell. I’ll pick it up when we stop.”
At this time, Zhang Simiao has realized that the driver was only concealing his evil intentions. However, she doesn’t have a mobile phone in her hand. The door was locked by the central control lock. At this moment, there were no street lights on the road, nor buildings on both sides, let alone passing vehicles.
Zhang Simiao hugged herself tightly in fear and cried: “Uncle, please take me home, alright? I’ll give you more money!”
The driver touched the back of his waist without turning his head, pulled out a sharp knife, and put it in front of the windshield. Seeing the shiny silver blade, Zhang Simiao choked back from her cries as her eyes widened in horror.
The familiar sound of the mobile phone rang from under the driver’s feet. Zhang Simiao knew that it must be the call from her parents. If she didn’t lend it to the driver, she wouldn’t fall into this predicament.
Tears of regret flowed from her cheeks silently. Zhang Simiao looked up at the driver who was observing her in the rearview mirror. Zhang Simiao was frightened by the driver’s cold eyes. She couldn’t help but shrink her body into a ball.
The phone’s ringtone kept ringing, so the driver stepped on the brakes and bent over to pick up the mobile phone. Then he threw it directly to the side of the road without looking back. The pouring rain covered the pleasant music of the mobile phone. Seeing Zhang Simiao’s desperate eyes, the driver suddenly laughed and started the car again.
The black car ran all the way in the rain and stopped under an abandoned railway bridge hole. When the driver was to open the car door, Zhang Simiao took this opportunity to push the car door and ran outside frantically.
She was about to run out of the bridge hole, but the sound of footsteps behind her already rang in her ears. Zhang Simiao could even feel the driver’s turbid and smoky breathing. As if he could hold herself by just reaching out his hand.
Just when Zhang Simiao felt desperate, suddenly a girl with an umbrella came in from the rain. Zhang Simiao’s eyes widened in disbelief. The person who came was Lin Qingyin.
At the moment Zhang Simiao lost her mind, the driver grabbed her and held her in his arms. He covered her mouth with one hand and pulled her beside the car with his other hand.
Lin Qingyin handed the dripping umbrella to Fatty Wang behind her and sneered while taking out a handful of stones from her pocket: “You are too brazen.”
The driver looked at Fatty Wang and Lin Qingyin. One was fat and the other one looked weak. The two don’t look like someone who could fight. The driver pinched the struggling Zhang Simiao’s arm and looked at Lin Qingyin with wild eyes: “Little girl, you should get out of here as soon as possible, or would you like to have fun with me later on?!”
Zhang Simiao used all her strength to push the driver’s hand away, but the driver’s big hand was so strong. His hand didn’t even move a bit from her mouth.
“You dare to talk like this to me, are you not afraid to be struck by lightning?!” Lin Qingyin picked up a stone and flicked it at the driver. The driver subconsciously tilted his head and take a look at it. The stone fell more than half a meter away from him. Seeing this, the driver burst into laughter: “I am standing still here, but you can’t hit me?”
Lin Qingyin didn’t say a word, she only flicked a few more stones, which surrounded the driver. Zhang Simiao looked at Lin Qingyin’s actions in despair while waving at her vigorously. She couldn’t escape, but Lin Qingyin had a chance to run away.
Seeing that there was only one stone left in her hand, Lin Qingyin squeezed the stone and said to Zhang Simiao, “I will count to three, and you will run towards me!”
Zhang Simiao didn’t respond at all when she heard these words, because she didn’t believe that Lin Qingyin could hit this perverted driver, nor that she could run away.
“One two three!”
With the count of “three”, the stone in Lin Qingyin’s hand flew out and instantly hit the driver’s eye. The driver let out a painful cry and subconsciously let go of Zhang Simiao, then cover his eye.
Zhang Simiao’s head went blank, but heard a sharp shout: “Run!”
She subconsciously rushed in the direction of the voice until she fell into a warm embrace. Then she looked at Lin Qingyin who was holding her arm. She choked twice before she cried in tears.
Lin Qingyin stretched out her hand and patted her on the back, took a thick sweater from Fatty Wang, and put it on Zhang Simiao.
The driver covered his eye and screamed a few times. His eye was was red and swelling like a plum. While his other eye looked fiercely at Zhang Simiao, who was holding Lin Qingyin. The driver then took the sharp knife from the car.
When Zhang Simiao heard a noise, she looked back subconsciously and her legs suddenly became soft. She stretched out her hand and pushed Lin Qingyin: “Run! And call the police!”

I don’t know chinese at all, but I can guess that Zhang Simiao means “stupid” and “low intellect”, right?
Just my personal opinion: Zhang Simiao is still a child. With naivety and giving the people the benefit of the doubt.
Her character is also a child who needs her parents to pick her up from school already shows she isnt that mature and independent enough to commute by herself everyday. (Except for emergencies and cant be help situations)
Who among us is really matured enough when they were in school at that age? Even older teens still have a bit of naivety left. So many kids and teens were kidnapped by pedos by manipulating them. It’s easy to say she’s stupid because as readers, we can see all the warning signs and foreshadowing plus the fact we all know the MC’s abilities. But ZS don’t. OKAY?! UwU
LOL i ranted. ÚwÙv
Mmmmmm, I guess that may be true. I think that it can be also partially fault of her environment.
I mean, in my high school there were several drug dealers and some kids were into reforming for teenagers prisons hahahaha
That’s why I looked at it with my point of view. You are somewhat ‘forced’ to mature in harsher environments and ZS has been living among pink cotton all her life.
True. That’s why people find it hard to believe in teenagers sometimes because they were sometimes caught in bad things because of their environment and situation. :<
I agree. Also I think that as someone who lived in a shelter environment, she must rarely met people with bad intentions. She’s most likely believed that most people are good. I also think the reason she lent her phone is either because she has difficulty saying no or polite kindness. Also I think it’s her belief that people are good that dismissed the red flags until it was too late.
Furthermore, with her fluster/panic state at the time, she is also more likely to make a mistake.
I mentioned giving her the benefit of doubt by having a sheltered environment or so in the previous chapter but forgot to add that she was also panicking if I can recall it right, since she seems quite frail as well and already got held back due to it.
