She had already been caught by Nan Ba’s people. They surrounded Xiao Yu from all sides, with the bar’s doors, exits, and rooms completely sealed off by Nan Ba’s men.
No one at the scene dared to move, not even breathing.
The group of small-time thugs who had been boisterous and provocative just moments ago were now completely subdued, huddled in the corners like mice seeing a cat, motionless.
Xiao Yu was forcefully dragged down from the catwalk by Nan Ba’s men, with several rough hands gripping her delicate arms, pulling her towards Nan Ba. No matter how much Xiao Yu struggled and shouted, she couldn’t escape. Those who had just been admiring and idolizing her now retreated far away.
The entire bar fell silent. The sound system was destroyed by Nan Ba’s subordinates, the security guards outside were all knocked down. The remaining patrons were scattered in small groups, not a single one daring to challenge Nan Ba, all pressed against the walls, too afraid to speak.
Xiao Yu’s voice and struggles echoed in this crowded yet helpless place. She didn’t want to go on stage; she was afraid, terrified of situations like this. For the pure-hearted Xiao Yu, this was a nightmare.
Since Feng Jie had already compromised this much, what else could she say? She would just work hard, at least earning enough to support herself and her mother and continue searching for a doctor to treat her mother. But now, Feng Jie, Xiao Si, her sisters – no one, absolutely no one, had come out from backstage, watching helplessly as Xiao Yu was taken away.
Nan Ba’s men dragged Xiao Yu step by step towards Nan Ba, towards her nightmare. Xiao Yu screamed frantically, but ultimately, no one came to save her.
At this moment, her tears were like a raging spring, pouring mercilessly onto this filthy sky. Her throat was hoarse from screaming, her shoes twisted, her clothes torn, yet she never stopped struggling.
Just as Nan Ba was about to triumphantly embrace Xiao Yu and take her away, a hand suddenly appeared, grabbing Nan Ba’s bejeweled claw.
A fierce voice shouted, “Stop!”
Instantly, everyone’s eyes turned, looking at the person who had suddenly appeared to rescue Xiao Yu.
