Hu Jiaojiao continued to sob whilst nodding her head.

She was utterly terrified.

Not long after, police sirens could be heard. After that, the police quickly arrived in the alleyway. Luo Xiuen had helped Hu Jiaojiao call the police.

Luo Xiuen carried Hu Jiaojiao in her arms and got into the police vehicle.

Luo Xiuen was around 1.7 meters tall. Her body was incredibly muscular as well. As a result, she had no trouble carrying Hu Jiaojiao.

Whilst carrying Hu Jiaojiao, Luo Xiuen unconsciously said, Wow, youre really Yilings desk-mate. Youre both so light. It wouldnt be a problem for me to carry the two of you and run a marathon.

Of course, in terms of size, Jian Yiling was even smaller.

With her arms and legs, it was even difficult for Jian Yiling to climb into a car.

Then, Luo Xiuen took Hu Jiaojiao and went to the hospital. She wanted the hospital to check whether or not Hu Jiaojiaos injuries were serious.

As for the thugs, they had all gotten arrested.

As soon as Jian Yiling heard about the news from Luo Xiuen, she rushed to the hospital.

Hu Jiaojiaos body was covered with bruises. She had gotten them whilst she struggled to get away from the thugs.

Furthermore, her eyes were red from crying. Until now, her body was still shuddering.

Hu Jiaojiao wasnt a courageous girl in the first place. As a result, the incident had a profound impact on her.

When Jian Yiling arrived in the ward, there were two police officers in the room that were taking Hu Jiaojiaos statement.

Hu Jiaojiao sobbed as she recounted what had happened to her.

For her, that experience was incredibly painful and frightening.

Jian Yiling heard Hu Jiaojiao say that when she had gotten harassed, the thugs had said something along the lines of Serves you right for being friends with Jian Yiling.

From this, Jian Yiling could deduce that the person who directed the thugs to attack Hu Jiaojiao tonight was after her. She was the one who got Hu Jiaojiao involved in all of this.

This was something that Hu Jiaojiao didnt need to go through or experience.

From Hu Jiaojiaos voice and cries, Jian Yiling could feel the despair and pain that she had gone through.

However, Jian Yiling didnt know how to comfort someone. She didnt have much experience doing such a thing.

However, at the same time, Jian Yiling felt as though she should say something.

Im sorry, Jian Yiling said slowly.

She felt that she was responsible for what had happened to Hu Jiaojiao.

Saying sorry didnt do much in such a situation. However, that was the only thing that she could think of to say to Hu Jiaojiao right now.

As Hu Jiaojiao had recounted her experiences just then, her emotions were in a mess. Her entire body shook as she sobbed.

She didnt respond to Jian Yilings apology.

When Jian Yiling saw Hu Jiaojiao crying in front of her, she felt that she shouldnt stay for any longer.

It was likely that as of this moment, Hu Jiaojiao didnt want to see her face.

Just as Jian Yiling turned around to leave, Hu Jiaojiao suddenly reached out and grabbed her.

As her hand had gotten grabbed, Jian Yiling turned around and looked at Hu Jiaojiao.

There was confusion and surprise in her eyes.

Although Hu Jiaojiaos voice still trembled, her hand firmly gripped Jian Yilings hand. She refused to let go as she spoke:

I I was really scared. But I knew that it wasnt my fault. I also knew that its not your fault either! I I didnt want to cave in and listen to those bastards! Like why? Why should I listen and do what they want me to do? I wont do that! I want to be friends with you! I dont want to listen to their wishes!

It was true that such an event was directed at Jian Yiling. They didnt want Jian Yiling to be friends with Hu Jiaojiao.

However, Hu Jiaojiao wasnt going to listen to them! She didnt want to follow their wishes.

Those people were at fault. Jian Yiling hadnt done anything wrong.

Although Hu Jiaojiao was incredibly scared, she still understood the entire situation.

Jian Yiling stared at Hu Jiaojiaos hand that was holding onto hers. She didnt know how to respond.

This was the first time that Jian Yiling had held hands with someone else.

Such a feeling It was strange. Yet it was also wonderful.
