Chapter 15 Trouble in the Alley [2]

Su Qingtang darted away. Her heartbeat rising exponentially as she runs. The system was both exited and unhappy. Finally, some action! But what if the host gets hurt?

"Don't let her get away!" The lead thug shouts clearly enraged. Who wouldn't be enraged if someone was eavesdropping and your men didn't even notice anything amiss. Useless bastards the whole lot of them! He seethed before turns to look for his first captive only to notice her missing.

He kicked the closest man to him angrily. "Useless! The whole lot of you are useless oafs! How could you let her get away? Are you blind?

If Su Qingtang heard this she would have probably internally mocked him for his shamelessness, but she was busy running for her life.

She kicked over garbage and made as many obstacles as she could, but the brutes still steadily caught up. All the movies where people are deterred by garbage in their way are lies! She ran as fast as she could but her body just couldn't keep up with her rain.

The original hated all forms of physical exercise and so even though Su Qingtang herself was very athletic, her body just couldn't keep up with what she wanted. Frustrating indeed!

Her legs and lungs burned, she was quickly overtaken. It appeared that there were four people pursuing her, the last one with garbage coating the bottom part of her pants; he must have tripped because of her. The though of this made Su Qingtang smug but not for long.

She backed up until her back hit the hard wall of a building. Damn, she really shouldn't have decided to take a shortcut, ah. She searched for an opening so she could escape but everywhere was quickly blocked by the goons. Who had lewd expressions on their faces.

"She's even prettier than the last one, hehe."

Su Qingtang was disgusted yet flattered. He said that I'm prettier than the female lead. That counts for something right.

"System. Use the teleportation card when I give the signal okay?" She says calmly as she watches them warily. The system quickly nods. It was not the time for it to mess around.

One of the men walks forward. He reaches for her face and Su Qingtang's face, but she swats him away and moves to the side and aims a kick between his legs which he dodges. This enrages him.

He sings his hand towards her face in attempt to slap her. "Slu-''

His word dies in his throat as Su Qingtang ducks and dodges out of his reach before kicking him into the wall.

His cronies take a step backward. The girl before them had somehow changed. Her aura expanded all of a sudden and a pressure fell on them. Somehow it felt like they had awoken a dangerous predator.

Su Qingtang calmly took of her backpack and dropped it unto the ground. A charming yet bone chillingly smile on her face as she stalked closer to the now retreating men. "I Su Qingtang have never seen anyone who would dare hit me. It's been a while since I've seen people so eager to try a taste of death. Don't worry. I deliver."

She grabbed one of the men and jabbed a finger into the side of his neck. Immediately he slumps unto the ground. This snaps the three others out of their daze and the rush at Su Qingtang. She grabs the first and uses his own momentum against him, using her body wait to turn him around and send him into his partner. Seeing the situation is disadvantageous he flips out a knife and stabs towards Su Qingtang's chest. She immediately lets go of the person she was holding and dodges while smacking down on his head sending him unconscious before turning to face the one with a knife. Her smile now gone as she silently watches him a hint of murderous intention in her eyes.

His hands shake as he notices the fact that his partners were all on the floor unconscious. Su Qingtang hadn't really hurt them she just knocked them unconscious. He hadn't expected that the little schoolgirl to be an expert.

Without a second of hesitation Su Qingtang rushed at him kicking him in the stomach and grabbing the knife as he doubled over.

Fear fills his entire body. He crawls backwards as Su Qingtang plays with the knife. A distant look in her eyes as she stares through him, at something… someone. Her aura drastically changes as hatred fills her eyes. She raises the knife.

The system realizes that something is drastically wrong with the host. "Host!"

Su Qingtang is jolted from the grasps of a memory. She drops the knife to the ground. A thin strand of blood flowing from her pals from where she held the knife but she didn't even notice. Her footsteps were shaky as she picked up her schoolbag an headed out the alley disregarding the shaking man she left on the floor.

She doesn't notice the two pair of eyes on her. A man in the shadows looks at her with a slight smile on his face before he retreats into the darkness.

The second pair of eyes watch her with a mild pair of eyes like nothing could shake them as Su Qingtang walked absentmindedly in his direction. "Qingtang."

She looks up but there is no recognition in her eyes. It was as if she was so far away in her head nothing could reach her. Lu Yexuan leads her into the car and quietly tells the driver where to go.

"Host?" The system was badly shaken, It knew its host had some secret and a bad past, but nothing could prepare it for seeing her outburst that day.

Su Qingtang didn't respond. How could she. She was so badly shaken that her hands were shaking. She seemed to be stuck in a nightmare that she couldn't escape.

Lu Yexuan watches her with clear eyes that seemed to be taking in everything quietly. His thoughts completely unknown.
