Chapter 773 — Yu Xiaoke's Trouble
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Unhurriedly, she followed the thief until they reached a somewhat secluded back street...
But after following him for a while, Yu Xiaoke began to sense something was off. This thief — why hadn't he hurriedly opened the wallet, taken out the money, and tossed the wallet away? Thieves of this trade never carried another person's wallet on them for long; they would immediately pull out whatever valuables it held, and no matter how fine the wallet, they would swiftly discard it!
Otherwise, if someone caught them, it would be a case of catching the thief with the loot!
Earlier, out on the main road, the thief's caution had been understandable enough. But now that they had reached such a back street, he still hadn't taken the wallet out to look — that seemed a little unreasonable, didn't it?
Yu Xiaoke was a cautious sort, and she firmly believed in the saying that when something is out of the ordinary, there must be mischief afoot. The moment she sensed a problem, her first thought was to give it up. She wanted to turn and leave, but suddenly discovered that four burly men had appeared in the alley behind her!
Yu Xiaoke's heart skipped a beat. She understood at once that these men had likely come for her — otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
And the thief who had been walking ahead of her all this time now turned around as well. The five of them formed a ring, trapping Yu Xiaoke against a high wall!
"Yu Xiaoke, do you still recognize me?" Among the four burly men, one with an earring, clearly their leader, stared fixedly at Yu Xiaoke and asked. The man bared a mouth full of yellow teeth, his eyes glinting with a sinister light.
"You... who are you? Have you mistaken me for someone else?" Yu Xiaoke gave a forced laugh, her eyes darting about as she looked for a chance to flee. But she found that the high wall behind her was simply too tall — even if she wanted to run, she couldn't!
And in front of her, five burly men surrounded her. To think of charging out was nothing but wishful thinking!
Yu Xiaoke might have excellent qinggong, but that didn't mean she could beat these five burly men! True, Yu Xiaoke had some skill in martial arts, but there was no way she could take on five at once!
"Yu Xiaoke, have you really forgotten me?" A savage hatred surfaced on the earring man's face. He pointed toward his crotch: "You little bitch — you kicked one of my balls to bursting. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
"Uh..." Yu Xiaoke blinked, and suddenly remembered who the man before her was. She couldn't help but give two dry laughs: "So it's Brother Blackbird... ha, hello there. Long time no see..."
"Long time no see, is it? Half a year since we've met! I lay in the hospital for half a year!" The earring man, Brother Blackbird, glared: "I only stole some money from a little beggar, and you kicked my balls to bursting? Aren't you a thief yourself, you damn woman? And you talk to me about justice and morality? I'm telling you, for the past six months I've been looking for you!"
"Uh... what are you looking for me for...? Um... we're not that close, are we?" Yu Xiaoke was genuinely frightened now. With these five big men here, she was no match for them at all!
"What for? You damn Feiyan Sect — how much of my men's money have you black-eaten in your own black-on-black dealings? How are we supposed to settle that account?" Brother Blackbird sneered: "Yu Xiaoke, I'm telling you, now that you've fallen into my hands today, don't even think about running! I chose this location specially for you — it wasn't easy luring you onto the hook!"
Indeed, in the current situation, no matter how good Yu Xiaoke's qinggong was, she couldn't escape. However fine one's qinggong, a high wall is still a high wall — there was simply no way to leap over it!
"Uh, it wasn't that much, really — just a few tens of thousands... I can give it back to you..." Yu Xiaoke could only speak meekly.
