In the dark alley, the sounds of punching and kicking did not cease. There were no lights, and only faint moonlight shone on the place. The assailant was wearing a cap; when she lowered her head her face could not be seen.
She covered the mouth of the person being attacked and continued hitting her; only whimpers could be heard from the other party…
As if sensing something, she spun around and looked about warily; and she saw a familiar face, followed by the blare of police sirens.
Gu Chen reacted before he could think; he rushed in, grabbed the girl who was hitting the person, and dashed out.
The girl who had been beaten up was suddenly released, and only then did her miserable groans and insults become audible.
Gu Chen dragged her along and ran all the way until they reached a secluded place. He only stopped when he could no longer hear the sirens.
He let go of the girl's hand and turned to her.
