"Wait, sister, what kind of banquet are you having? Why are you buying so much?"

Zhu Yali watched as several supermarket sales clerks carried various kinds of meat into Lin Yue's car.

"Isn't it because the villagers all know I'm going to the city, and they all asked me to bring these things back for them? It's just something I did on the side."

Lin Yue didn't know how to explain for a moment, especially about the amount of meat she ate. But her appetite was exaggerated; she could eat the equivalent of seven or eight people's worth.

Lin Yue held Xiao Rui in her arms, while Zhu Yali helped the sales clerks organize their items.

Just then, Lin Yue's ears twitched; she had felt someone watching the three of them the whole time. Now she heard the two people behind her.

"It's confirmed, two women and one baby girl."

"Follow them in a bit, and find a chance to trick them into getting off the bus."

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw two men and a middle-aged woman not far from them.

Seeing that they were about to get on the bus, he immediately got on as well and ran ahead of them.

Lin Yue didn't know what these people were up to, but it couldn't be anything good.

"Do people in your village eat meat this extravagantly? This beef alone must cost several thousand."

Zhu Yali found it quite strange. Her family was also from the countryside, and they would never buy so much meat unless it was a holiday.

"Oh, each family only gets a small share; getting even a pound is considered good."

Lin Yue stared ahead; it was already dark, and the place Zhu Yali rented was in a rather remote location.

"There are hardly any people around here at night. Don't go out at night anymore."

Lin Yue herself didn't care, but she was still a little worried about Zhu Yali, after all, she had a child.

"I know, wait a minute, why do I see someone waving from ahead?"

Lin Yue looked over and saw that they were the only car on the road. Lin Yue had no intention of stopping, but the person immediately rushed into the middle of the road and stopped them.

"Holy crap, are you crazy? You scared me to death."

The car stopped. Zhu Yali cursed loudly.

"What do you want?" Lin Yue rolled down the car window.

"Hey girl, my phone was stolen. My son was stabbed in that alley over there. Please, have some mercy and help us get to the hospital."

The woman was in her forties and looked very anxious.

"Oh no, you've been stabbed! If you've been stabbed, call an ambulance right away! Can't you just make a phone call anywhere?"

Although there was no one on the road, there were several shops not far away.

"My phone and wallet were stolen. There were several of them, and we couldn't fight them off. Ladies, please, please help me! I can't move them by myself."

"Then I'll call the police for you, and also call an ambulance."

As Lin Yue spoke, she took out her phone.

"No! Sister, please stop hitting him! My son is bleeding so much! Please lend a hand and help me get him out. I'm begging you on my knees!"

Zhu Yali was shocked to see people kneeling down; she had never seen anything like it before. She immediately got out of the car to help them up.

Lin Yue didn't unlock the car. She pushed the door several times, but it wouldn't open. "Yueyue, open the door quickly!"

"Yes, ladies, good deeds will be rewarded. Please help us, consider it as doing good for the child."

"Hey, I heard from someone that his son was stabbed, right here..."

While Lin Yue was calling the police, the woman heard it and immediately rushed over to snatch her phone.

"How come you still have time to call the police? Hurry up and help me carry this person out! How can you be so heartless?"

She almost snatched Lin Yue's phone, but she wasn't as fast as Lin Yue, who grabbed her wrist.

After realizing what was happening, she tried to pull her wrist back, but she couldn't. It felt as if she were being clamped by iron clamps.

This woman was already quite strong, but she hadn't expected to run into someone tough, and she knew she was in trouble. She immediately smiled and looked at Lin Yue:

"Hey girl, let go! I'm waiting to save someone. Why are you holding me like that?"

Zhu Yali was also bewildered. What was going on? This woman seemed strange. They had called the police to help her, so why was she trying to snatch Yueyue's phone? Although she didn't quite understand, she chose to remain silent for the moment and see what Yueyue would do.

"I didn't mean to arrest you, but you tried to steal my phone."

Lin Yue had no intention of letting go. Holding onto this woman was effortless for her.

"No, I wasn't trying to steal your phone, girl. I was just really worried. My son is still out there, and we don't know if he's alive or dead."

The woman wiped away tears with her other hand as she spoke, hoping to gain sympathy and get Lin Yue to let go. It seemed that this wouldn't work today. She had to leave as soon as possible.

Lin Yue stared at the woman's face. Although it was night, the woman's expression was no different from that during the day.

The woman's face showed not worry but panic. She reached for her waist with one hand and kept glancing at the alley across the street.

"Girl, thank you so much, but please let go of me first. I'm in a hurry to check on my son. Girl, you're holding me too tightly."

The woman kept trying to shake off Lin Yue's hand, but no matter how much force she used, she couldn't budge it.

The child in the back seat didn't know why the car had stopped. But they were already close to home.

"Mom, Aunt Lin, are we home yet? Shall we get off the bus?"

"Little Rui, sit still."

Zhu Yali didn't know what Lin Yue was trying to do, or why she was clinging to that woman. But now she couldn't get out of the car either.

"Hey, let go of me! What's wrong with you? If you're not going to help, then don't help. What are you trying to do by grabbing me like this?"

The woman panicked because they could already hear the police sirens. Lights were flashing in the distance.

"Auntie, I've called the police for you. You have to wait, they're here to rescue you. If you run away, I'll call more people. Who will I complain to then?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yue noticed that the woman's expression changed, and she pulled something out of her waist with her other hand and threw it directly into their car.

Lin Yue immediately held her breath, and with a sudden burst of strength, she broke the woman's wrist.

"Ah...come save me!" the woman screamed.

Lin Yue was unharmed. She released the woman's hand, opened the car door, and was about to get out to grab the person. When she turned around, she saw that Zhu Yali had already fainted.

As soon as Lin Yue got out of the car, two men rushed out from the roadside.

"Damn it, the police are coming, run!"

The two men were also frustrated, having failed to get what they wanted today. However, fearing being caught, they helped the woman up, and the three of them prepared to run away.

"Trying to run away? Dream on."

Lin Yue rushed forward and stopped them.
