At this moment, Fu Ying was still restrained by the rope, unable to move. As she saw the knife tip getting closer, a sound of broken bones suddenly came from behind Brother Chen...
"What!"
Brother Chen let out a loud scream as Li Yanqian tightly grasped one of his legs and forcefully twisted his ankle.
Such strength!
Meanwhile, Huazi attempted to launch a sneak attack from behind. Although Fu Ying shouted for Li Yanqian to move away, it seemed too late!
Bah!
A jade-white hand grabbed the blade in Huazi's hand, causing blood to instantly flow from Li Yanqian's hand.
Boom!
Li Yanzhen kicked Huazi in the chest, sending him crashing into the coffee table behind. The corner of the table struck Huazi's waist, causing him to writhe in pain, on the verge of losing consciousness.
[It's painful just to watch.]
[Turns out she's more than just a troublemaker.]
In the eyes of the audience, Li Yanqian didn't even glance at her injured hand. Instead, she picked up a mobile phone from the ground, apparently dropped by someone, and used it to cut the rope binding Fu Ying.
"Hello, we're at 35 Lingang Road. We've been kidnapped."
"Yes, we managed to subdue the kidnappers, but we might need the police to come and investigate..."
Li Yanqian then noticed a leftover takeout box in the corner trash can, which held the address of their current location.
Until the police arrived, Fu Ying remained with Li Yanqian, shivering from the ordeal. She had no idea how much blood had been shed in the room because of Li Yanqian, but she witnessed Li Yanqian's desperate efforts to save her. It was the first time she realized the incredible power possessed by her seemingly unremarkable friend.
Since it was Li Yanqian who called the police, two policewomen arrived at the scene. The sight that greeted the police left them stunned.
The hostage had saved herself and called the police...
And the two girls appeared to be unharmed, except for one of them who had a somewhat alarming hand injury.
"Officer, these people intended to kill us. They weren't typical kidnappers seeking ransom," Li Yanqian informed, as her hand was temporarily bandaged and disinfected by a medical professional. He Zirui, who had been questioning Fu Ying, was interrupted by Li Yanqian.
"Kill you? Are you certain?" He Zirui looked at the composed Li Yanqian and wondered how these two girls, who appeared to be ordinary students, ended up targeted for murder.
"I'm sure. He said he would only receive the money after killing Fu Ying and even planned to stage a scene of the kidnappers tearing up the ransom." Li Yanqian pointed to the handcuffed Chen Ge and explained.
"I understand. We'll handle this matter. You two are safe now. Accompany us back, and we'll tend to your injuries first." He Zirui said.
...
"So, that's what happened." In a lavishly decorated villa, a man with a handsome appearance stroked his chin as he observed the scene on the large screen in front of him.
"Yes, Ms. Fu continued filming because she was rescued and did not... did not die in the scene," the female secretary beside him replied.
"Contact the game company called Gan Lin and find a suitable time for my sister to die in the game! She spends all day playing games or interacting with these virtual AIs. Her social relationships are in shambles. How can I entrust the future of this company to her?"
Although the man appeared furious, he couldn't help but cast a glance at the black-haired girl with an injured hand on the screen.
Was it she who kept his sister, Fuying, confined in the AI electronic warehouse?
