Chapter 778: But He Was Neither Heroic Nor Nosy
He wanted to ask why Little Tian was not with w.a.n.g Xiangyun. There were several punks looking for trouble.
He was not able to finish because Little Tian and the others had already hurried over towards the direction he’d indicated.
“Liu, why do you think they’re panicking like that but not by the woman’s side?” Li Wazi glanced at Li Wazi and asked curiously.
It did not make sense for servants to be separated from their masters.
Ye Liu had little to care as he marched on to the tailor shop. “How should I know? If you’re that curious, follow them and find out.”
He had no intention to meddle in other people’s affairs.
After all, curiosity killed the cat! If it had nothing to do with him, he preferred not to ask, wonder, or hear about it!
“And why should I do that? I don’t even know them.” Li Wazi rubbed his nose and followed Ye Liu awkwardly. He let the incident slide.
Once again, w.a.n.g Xiangyun was hounded by the three punks. She got so scared that sweat started to flow from her forehead. She reached out for the hairpin on her head and threw it at them, hoping to buy her way out.
The punks gladly accepted the treasure, but had no intention of leaving. “You’re quite generous, lady, and we’re more than grateful.”
“That’s right.”
The smiles plastered on their face grew even more sinister, making her feel utterly disgusted, like she would fall for the story they were selling.
“Get out of my way!”
Her brows creased tightly, and her patience ran out as fear began to creep in. She had run across several streets and where they were standing currently was a crowded area. She believed the punks could not possibly mess around.
“Geez, lady, look at you. Already sweating. We know a good place you can rest. We can take you there,” the punks said as they dragged w.a.n.g Xiangyun towards a less crowded location.
Upon being touched, w.a.n.g Xiangyun shrugged off their lecherous hands as though she had been electrified. “Release me! You better not come any closer, or I’ll really make you regret it!”
Pa.s.sers-by began to notice what was going on. Some wanted to help but feared they would be targeted, so they dismissed the thought.
Not far away, Ye Mo overheard people gossiping about as he kept his eyes on the accounts book.
Like Ye Liu, he had no interest in other people’s affairs.
Although it was common sense to lend a hand to those in need, he was neither heroic not nosy.
The three punks exchanged glances and scorned, “Alright, little missy. Let’s see what you’ve got!”
Without a moment to lose, they clamped her on either side and dragged her somewhere inaccessible, away from prying eyes.
w.a.n.g Xiangyun was helpless against three grown men. In addition to being drugged, she felt even weaker, with no chance to fend for herself as they took off with her.
“How dare you! Get off me, you sc.u.mbags! Help! Save me!” w.a.n.g Xiangyun shouted for help, but no one came to her rescue.
Tears began to fall. She knew the outcome would be horrible!
Some people on the streets had gone to the officials for help.
They might be afraid to get involved, for the punks could take revenge, but they could not allow an innocent girl to be violated. Reporting it to the officials was the wisest choice.
“Gosh, that woman was dressed luxuriously…where were her servants? Taken away by those punks like that… I shudder to think what will happen next.”
“Indeed.”
Onlookers expressed their worries for the woman as they discussed her ordeal, but none took action to stop the perpetrators. Hearing their indifference made Ye Mo s.h.i.+ver and scoff as he shook his head.
