nI can’t give them the money!

nShe took out her phone with a trembling hand. Looking at the empty address book, she tapped the dial interface and pressed 1; her fingers were shaking so badly she could not do much.

n“If you guys insist on doing the wrong thing, I’m gonna call the police on you!”

nThe two hoodlums outside the door laughed aloud as soon as they heard that she would call the police.

n“Fine! So you have the guts to call the police! Forgot to mention earlier that we don’t care if you call the police as there’s nothing to fear! I know all the officers at the police station here. They can do nothing to me even if you call them, but I’ll make sure you get it if you do call the police!”

nThese words were an outright threat!

nMeng Qingxue was initially intimidated by his words, but after she calmed down and thought back carefully, she realized that earlier at the reception area, when she was being harassed by them, both rogues showed much restraint after she had told them the same thing about her calling the police. She deduced that the man’s words were merely an empty threat!

nShe would not be threatened!

nAt the thought of this, she dialed 110. After the line got through, she hurriedly explained her situation and heard the two men outside the door cursing as she mentioned the address of the hostel.

nThe men started swearing as soon as they realized that she had really called the police.

n“D*mn it! This woman is so bold; she really called the police! She’ll take us as small fries if we don’t teach her a lesson, won’t she?!”

n“B*tch!”

nAh Dong did not expect her to call the cops as well. Was she not frightened by his menacing words at all?!

nBy the time the woman put down the line, her unsettled heart had calmed down much. The police’s reassurance that they would rush down at the quickest possible time gave her a sense of security so she was no longer that afraid. “I called the police! They’ll be here soon, so you two had better get lost now!” She told the gangsters in a frigid voice.

nHer strong will angered the two obviously.

nStanding outside the door, Ah Dong took a sharp drag on his cigarette before he dumped it onto the ground with force. He gave the door a hard kick and yelled, “Stinky m*th*rf*ck*r! You’d better open this door now! Open this door!”

nShe let out a scream at the loud banging at the door. The gangster had used so much strength that she could distinctively catch a cracking groan from the wooden door as if some parts of it had split. The door would soon have a hole if the man continued to kick it with much force!

n“Are you crazy?! I’ve already called the cops; they’ll be here soon! The police will be here soon!”

nShe pushed against the door nervously but was caught off guard by the man outside the door giving it another hard kick, which threw her backward by several steps. The woman hit the wall behind and unconsciously tried to block her fall with her elbow. Nevertheless, it was a hard knock, with her elbow turning red and swollen at once.

nClenching the painful joint, she was so aggrieved and desperate that tears started rolling down her eyes again. She bit her lower lip hard as salty droplets, which tasted bitter as well, trickled between her mouth flaps.

nShe called to them in despondency, “Why must you guys do this to me?! I have no intention to provoke you guys, so could you at least also show mercy and stop harassing me?!”
