Chapter 144 - When We Were Young and Reckless (4) (2/2)

As a seasoned reporter with years of experience, she had seen all kinds of scams. The Song Yuanxi in front of her had definitely been drugged.

She moved forward and yelled, ”Stop right there!”

The man did not turn around. Instead, he walked even faster!

An anxious Qiao Lian tried to get closer again. However, at this moment, the doors on both sides suddenly opened and a group of thugs rushed towards her.

Qiao Lian's eyes narrowed and she instantly took a fighting position. As she saw a man run forward to grab her, she stretched out her arm and grabbed the man at once. She then gave him a forceful shove, pushing him on top of another man!

She had taken some martial arts lessons before. However, the little martial arts' knowledge that she had was ultimately not very helpful against this group of thugs. After all, her bare hands were hopelessly outmatched by the sheer number of thugs surrounding her.

Even though she had just beaten two thugs, more of them rushed up behind her. Then, they surrounded her completely. She had nowhere else left to run.

She worriedly bit her lip. Thugs started to attack her from all sides. Even though she managed to defeat the ones in front, she suddenly felt a flurry of punches attacking her from behind.

Oh no!

They were in deep trouble!

Just as she thought of this, she heard people screaming behind her. Then, a broad-shouldered and warm body pressed against her back. Shen Liangchuan's usually calm voice was currently filled with worried as he said, ”Are you a pig? Did you not know how dangerous it would be in here?”

Qiao Lian froze as she got scolded. She felt an unfathomable yet familiar sensation.

She remembered the other time this had happened… which had been while she was playing a video game.

Some random player was driving her crazy with his in-game antics. As she ran and chased after him, she carelessly fell into his trap. A couple of players hiding to the side of her suddenly burst out of their hiding place. The three players took the opportunity to surround and attack her, causing her life bar to slowly drained away. Right as she was on the verge of death, Zi Chuan suddenly rushed inside.

The voice chat function was switched on, so she heard his exasperated voice over the headset, saying, ”Are you a pig? Why are you rushing to your death?”

At this moment, that familiar voice sounded strangely similar to the voice that she was hearing right now.
