Forget about the five or six of them, she might not even be able to defeat them one-on-one.

She couldn’t let them turn on the lights!

If they turned on the lights, she would be exposed and would have no other way to escape!

Xia Yingluo touched the doorknob as fast as she could, but before she could touch it, Ah Si had already found his way there. She shrank back, trying to widen her eyes. After adapting to the darkness, she could vaguely see a tall figure close to her. She gave a kick relying on her feeling and luck—indeed, her luck was good. The man covered his crotch and screamed in pain, rolling onto the ground.

“Ah Si! What’s wrong?!” Several other men cried.

“That bitch, she hit me!” Ah Si screamed.

Xia Yingluo took advantage of the opportunity to touch the door from one side to the other and finally touched the door handle. She twisted it forcefully but it didn’t move. It must have been locked by someone from outside. She screamed secretly and heard a lot of chaotic footsteps coming in her direction. She didn’t want to stay for a long time and quickly retreated back into the darkness.

“Ah Si, are you okay?!”

“Where’s that bitch?!”

“Ouch—that bitch, that bitch almost kicked off my crotch!” Ah Si cursed. “Hurry up and find her, I’m going to pull out her tendons, peel her skin and rape her corpse! I’ll let her know I’m not easy to bully!”

“Where can we find her in this darkness?” Someone complained. “I’m going to—ouch!” Another man tripped onto something that had been sticking out and fell heavily onto the ground.

“The bitch is there!” Someone called out.

Several strong men rushed to the direction where the man was tripped, but Xia Yingluo had already quietly left and walked behind them. She picked up a few unknown bits and pieces in a hurry, then came forward to smash the things at the men. While the men were in a mess, she quietly touched the window and ducked behind the curtain.

The thick blackout curtains blocked all the light, but the sunlight outside the window was just right, and it was bright in the midsummer afternoon.

The sudden sunlight was a little dazzling and Xia Yingluo had to resist the discomfort of her body. She narrowed her eyes and pushed a little and the window really opened. The breeze and the scent of flowers all poured in at once. She took a deep breath, and her vertigo was lightened.

In the room, several men finally turned on the lights and looked around, but did not find Xia Yingluo.

“Where did the bitch go?” Someone roared.

“Surely she’s still in the room, she can’t possibly have run away! Find her!”

Several men started looking around and soon found the abnormal shape near the window. As soon as they opened the curtains, they saw a petite girl standing on the window sill with one foot, half of her body looking out. The sun shone on her body like a touch of gold, and she looked as beautiful as a fairy.

“The goods our Boss gave us this time isn’t bad...” Someone drooled.

They stared at the girl on the window sill, full of lust.

Xia Yingluo was anxious. There were more people than she had thought. There were seven men! And she was now on the second-floor window sill. However, don’t underestimate the second-floor of this high-end building. The high jump was much more luxurious than ordinary buildings. The ground she was standing on was almost the third floor of an ordinary building. Although the ground was a lawn, still... if she jumped regardlessly, she could easily break her legs!

Once she broke her leg, she simply couldn’t escape and would only be dragged back to be at their mercy!

Xia Yingluo’s face turned pale and cold sweat broke on her neck. She couldn’t retreat nor advance, what could she do?

“Little beauty, hehe...” The few men saw that her face wasn’t right and thought she was afraid, so they became even cockier. “Be obedient and let us enjoy you. Don’t be stubborn, your hands and feet are already shaking. We will treat you well, hahahahaha...”

“You, why are you all here?” Xia Yingluo was thinking about her escape plan and delayed for time. “Who sent you to harm me?”

“You don’t even know that? What good outcome could you have from offending people? Hehehe. Little beauty, just accept defeat. We are all so professional, how could we possibly tell you the name of the master behind the scenes? If you want to blame anyone, blame it on your bad luck...”

They said and walked closer and closer to the window.

Xia Yingluo was anxious. Did she really have to jump?

But it would really be a dead-end if she were to jump! She was utterly helpless!

Just when she was panicking, all of a sudden, she saw a person coming out of the shade downstairs. He wore a light white shirt with fine workmanship, and his side profile looked like an ice sculpture. He looked up at her frail self on the windowsill.

“Wei Lingan!” She wanted to call out to him loudly as if she had seen her savior, but it came out weak and frail instead.

He seemed to hear it, and a slight smile curled on his face. He opened up his arms for her. “Jump down.” His voice was not high, but it echoed in her ears. “I’ll catch you.”

“Do you think you are Superman?” Xia Yingluo’s body was extremely uncomfortable and she was almost about to slip off the window sill, but she still taunted him. “If I crash down like this, your arm will break and you’ll break bones together with me!”

She didn’t know if Wei Lingnan had heard her, but he still maintained the original posture.

In the room, the men were getting closer and closer, their wretched and lewd faces getting closer as well.

Her body was soft and hot for a while, and she knew it couldn’t go on like this. She stopped hesitating. She gritted her teeth and jumped out of the window sill, but instead of jumping off at Wei Lingnan’s side, she chose to jump off the other side.

Even if she had to break her arms and feet, she didn’t want to drag him down too.

After closing her eyes, she was ready to bear the severe pain of the fracture. However, the pain in her imagination did not come. She fell into a solid and warm embrace. Looking up, Wei Lingnan’s indifferent and handsome face looming over her.

She was stunned.

She... didn’t she jump to the other side?!

Wei Lingnan seemed to read her mind, and he said in a soft voice, “Why, you don’t want me to catch you that badly?”

“No, no,” she said incoherently, then angrily. “Are you stupid! What if you were smashed dead by me?! I don’t want to collect your corpse! Are you okay?”

Wei Lingnan said, “Do you look like I’m not okay?”

He seemed to be in a good mood. “It turns out you care about me.”

Xia Yingluo’s face turned red, and she turned her head to the side. “Who cares about you, I was just worried that you were be crashed by me. No, even if I crash you and you’re only heavily injured, those men would rush down quickly, then how would we escape?”

So, that was the reason why she cared for him?
