Rock bottom.
At the bar of a nightclub, Tan Pan Ting drank her sorrows away.
Men are fing bastards theyre all rotten all men deserve to go to hell Tan Pan Ting mumbled.
The techno music gave Tan Pan Ting a splitting headache. She cursed the liars who told her drinking would help her forget. What drown your sorrows? Her head hurt, and her heart clearly remembered the fing bastard.
You fing bastard you took credit for my work you liar you fing cheater you and the vixen deserve to go to hell together Tan Pan Ting mumbled.
Tan Pan Ting slammed a hundred dollar note on the bar, and she stumbled outside the nightclub. Another fing bastard knocked her over, and her arm scraped against the pavement.
You fing bastard why are you running away? Tan Pan Ting yelled. You cant injure someone and run away without saying sorry!
Tan Pan Ting was drunk, but she remembered how gullible she was. She wasnt going to be a naive pushover again so she chased after the fking bastard to get an apology from him.
Tan Pan Ting ran blindly like she was chasing the fking bastard she dated blindly for two years. She met him at her first workplace. She made a rookie mistake by believing the fking bastard, Pan Ting, tell the managers it was my idea. Ill take responsibility if your plan fails Pan Ting, I need this opportunity Pan Ting, if Im successful, youll benefit too Pan Ting, trust me, Im doing this for you
Tan Pan Ting wasnt angry the fking bastard dumped her. She was angry the fking bastard took credit for her work, and slept with the boss daughter. Why did she trust such a fking bastard?
Tan Pan Ting was too furious to hear sirens. The man who knocked her over, dropped a bag in an alley way and disappeared.
Miss youre under arrest, a junior cop said.
Tan Pan Ting turned around, she saw a bunch of actors pointing a gun at her. She stepped in front of the junior cop and wanted to touch the realistic toy gun.
Are you and your cast members shooting an action scene? Tan Pan Ting asked. Wow, the gun prop looks so real.
Dont move or Ill shoot, the junior cop warned.
Tan Pan Ting was too drunk to read the police sign on the cars behind the actors pointing guns at her. She touched the actors toy gun who threatened her, and he immediately twisted her arm.
Ah! Tan Pan Ting cried out. Save me! Someone wants to kill me! Save me!
Tan Pan Ting didnt want to die without seeing the fking bastard and the vixen receive their retributions.
Dont move! the junior cop said. Youre under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Whatever you say will be reported.
Tan Pan Ting felt like she was the victim who was in the wrong place at the wrong time in a gangster movie.
Is this place secured? Gu Jiao Wen asked.
Tan Pan Ting couldnt see the tall mans face in the dark alley way at a far distance. But the tall man was her hope of surviving by the way the gangsters looked intimidated by the tall man.
Save me! Tan Pan Ting said. These gangsters want to kill me.
Gu Jiao Wen and the junior cops dismissed Tan Pan Tings cry of innocence.
Yes sir, the junior cop said.
Um, put down your gun, Gu Jiao Wen said.
The drug dealers are caught but they got rid of the evidence, the junior cop reported to Gu Jiao Wen.
Gu Jiao Wen ordered a female cop to search Tan Pan Ting.
The female cop took Tan Pan Ting to an unfamiliar place.
What are you doing? Tan Pan Ting asked. Let me go.
The female cop ignored Tan Pan Ting, and she performed a strip search.
