Chapter 2207 - 2408: Last Year's Incident!!!

"Haha, you bitch, didn't expect you'd have a day like this!" At this moment, the thief who previously lured He Yingzi in was laughing wildly, admiring his handiwork.

Although He Yingzi was a bit surprised to find she had been tricked and surrounded by several people, there was no sign of fear on her face at the moment, despite being surrounded. Instead, her face was a mix of calmness and anger.

"Don't be so smug!" He Yingzi shouted, "Thinking you can escape with just these tricks is pure wishful thinking!"

At this time, she still thought that the thief called so many people over just to escape, not realizing it was a trap set long ago, waiting for her to step into it.

Sure enough, several people laughed as soon as they heard He Yingzi say this. At this moment, the person standing behind her blocking her retreat laughed crazily, and then suddenly, a hint of malice flashed across his face. He said, "Looks like Officer He really forgets easily, could it be you've forgotten all of us?"

Upon hearing this, He Yingzi frowned, puzzled, unable to understand what he meant.

The man laughed and said, "It seems you really have forgotten. Let me help you recall; do you remember this time last year, you sent us brothers to jail just for stealing a few things, made a big fuss, arrested us, then sentenced us, locked us up, we just got out a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, He Yingzi quickly started to think back, and as she did, the memories slowly surfaced. Looking at these people, and matching them with what he just said, she remembered. These were the ones captured last year for robbing a store selling gold when she was still interning at the police station.

Last year was the exact time she was interning in the police station, following a few people around in a shopping mall area as part of her routine practice, and coincidentally they broke into a gold store while she was nearby, so she directly took some people and charged in with guns, capturing them.

On the spot, she led a few people and captured them because they only had daggers while she and the police officers rushing to the scene were armed with guns, naturally making it easy to take them down.

Since the target was gold, although they didn't succeed, due to the large amount involved, they were sentenced soon after being captured, serving a year in jail. But it was precisely because they didn't succeed that they were only sentenced to a year; otherwise, the things they tried to rob would have kept them in jail for many years.

Thinking like this, and looking at them, He Yingzi suddenly remembered everything, including the events of that day, all the details slowly coming back to her mind. With them entering prison around this time last year, it was just about a year, and they had just been released.

"Remember now, Officer He?" the man crossed his arms and looked at He Yingzi.

He Yingzi naturally remembered, seeing her former defeated opponents, she regained her confidence, looking at them with disdain, and said: "Of course, I remember, but I didn't expect your guts are so big, just got out and wanting to go back in so soon?"

The man laughed directly and said, "Haven't you realized the situation yet, speaking so tough alone?"

The person beside him took a step forward, looking at He Yingzi with a vicious gaze, and said, "Why waste so much time talking to this bitch, I've long wanted to deal with her, damn it, for making us live a rotten life for a year, see if I don't fix her good!"

With this said, another person stepped forward, clenching his fists, looking very arrogant. Last time was just a fluke, if not for He Yingzi leveraging a larger group and brandishing guns in police uniforms which scared them, they wouldn't have been captured so easily.

All four of them counted the days in jail, filled with hatred, so they planned this trap not long after getting out, just to take revenge on He Yingzi.

However, He Yingzi suddenly laughed, without a hint of fear, saying: "Oh my, I thought who it was, turns out just a bunch of former losers, I'm so scared, are you trying to go back to jail?!"

Finishing the sentence, He Yingzi chuckled smugly, initially thinking someone else set up this trap for her, but it turns out to be just a few former losers, clearly, she didn't take them seriously, without even a bit of fear. If she could capture them before, she surely can do it again now.

Her laugh angered them all as they had spent time in jail thinking every day about how to take revenge on her, and now having set up a trap to surround her, yet she still mocked them, naturally making them furious.

"Do it!" one of them yelled angrily, "Bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

Another one laughed salaciously, "Damn it, I've been thinking about you since going in, this time I'm going to enjoy you good! Bitch!"

Saying this, the four of them began to gather around He Yingzi. Since it was a dead-end alley and He Yingzi chased them to the end, once they moved forward, they had her more or less cornered. When they were only about seven or eight meters away, one of them suddenly flashed a dagger and charged at her.

Her face showed no hint of fear, and as he charged at her, she was prepared for everything. Within a year, she had risen from being an intern to her current position, proving her strength. A few petty thieves weren't enough to scare her.

But just as she had everything ready, her gaze fixed on the man's figure. As they were about to meet, he suddenly accelerated, brandishing the dagger in his hand to stab her. The sudden move startled her.

The speed caught her off guard, she quickly dodged, but even so, the dagger still grazed past her hand with a "swish!", slicing through her sleeve. Instantly, she felt the pain of flesh being torn.

Unexpectedly, pain shot through her abdomen. As she glanced down, the man not only stabbed at her with the dagger but also side-kicked her, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Bang!" She covered her wound with one hand and sat on the ground.

"Haha, you arrogant bitch, let's see how tough you are now!" The man laughed triumphantly.

At this moment, He Yingzi frowned, not expecting the opponent's skills to be this good. Her reaction was slow to the dagger's maneuver, and her hand was injured. Lowering her head, she saw that her sleeve was sliced open and blood was oozing out, though fortunately, the wound wasn't deep and didn't bleed uncontrollably.

Covering her wound, He Yingzi looked up, saying, "You call me a bitch? Let's see how I deal with you!"

The man chuckled, not expecting the injured He Yingzi to become even more defiant. He laughed arrogantly, "Still acting tough, bitch. You don't know the sufferings us brothers endured in prison eating leftovers. Today, we'll make you feel regret."

With that, a few men approached He Yingzi together, their faces filled with malice, eyes fixed on her thighs, full of greed and desire.

At this moment, He Yingzi still covered her wound while standing up, her face looking somewhat grim, but without a trace of fear.

Yet, as the men laughed, the one who had previously injured her suddenly brandished the dagger again, stabbing towards her. She initially felt no fear, but as the dagger rapidly closed in, aimed at her face, she suddenly showed a fearful expression.

As the dagger was about to stab down, she realized she couldn't dodge in time.

The man gripped the dagger, his face twisted into a hideous expression, the dagger came within mere centimeters of her face.

A triumphant, sinister laugh from one, coupled with a look of fear—extreme fear—from her.

However, in that split second, the man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand, causing him to release his grip on the dagger, which then fell to the ground with a "ding".

"Ah!"

The anguished cry was not from He Yingzi, but from another person.

"Isn't it shameful for a few grown men to bully a woman?" The voice belonged to none other than the timely arrival of Hao Jian.

He had been running, and upon seeing He Yingzi in danger, rushed over, preventing the dagger from thrusting forward.

The man's face displayed a hint of surprise, watching as the dagger was about to stab forward, not expecting someone to suddenly appear and knock it away.

All four displayed expressions of surprise, Hao Jian's silent, rapid appearance catching them off guard, leaving them astonished.

Including He Yingzi, she didn't expect Hao Jian to appear in such a crucial moment to save her, otherwise, her face would have been disfigured.

She still felt somewhat shaken, but seeing Hao Jian calmed her considerably.
