You Are My Unforgettable Love Chapter 144 - When We Were Young and Reckless (4)

She had only jerked him around for fun because their relations.h.i.+p had been fake.

His gaze shone with fury and hatred as he thought this, causing the temperature in the car to drop rapidly.

Qiao Lian’s entire body froze with his gaze. However, as she saw Song Yuanxi leaving with that man, she could not help but to grab Shen Liangchuan’s arm and say, “Mr. Shen, what are you thinking? Hurry up and follow them!”

Her words caused Shen Liangchuan to snap back to reality.

He lowered his head and stared at the hand that was currently grabbing his arm. He finally suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, looked forward and started the car. Only then did they begin following the other car.

The other car was currently driving around Beijing city, but it was rapidly approaching the rural area. Eventually, it stopped at a rather dilapidated area near the west end of the city.

Qiao Lian widened her eyes and looked in front of her. She pointed at a car in front of a small shop and said, “There, the car has stopped there!”

Shen Liangchuan frowned and stopped his car as well. Given that he was a public figure, he consciously took out a mask and a hat. However, before he could put them on, Qiao Lian had already opened the car door and gotten out. She rushed over to the other car!

Shen Liangchuan took a moment to gather his thoughts, which resulted in him being slower to react than Qiao Lian. He frowned and lifted his head again. However, by this point, the girl’s figure had disappeared past the entrance of the shop.

He hurriedly pushed open the car door and got out.

Qiao Lian worriedly rushed inside.

It was a hotel after all, not a shop. There were many rooms along both ends of the hallway. The dim lighting made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the atmosphere inside made her want to puke. With a single glance, she could tell that this was a seedy place meant for people to conduct immoral acts.

She looked at her surroundings, before noticing that Song Yuanxi, who was standing in front of her, looked somewhat unwell. She was currently leaning against the man’s shoulder while she walked forward.

She immediately realized exactly what was going on.

As a seasoned reporter with years of experience, she had seen all kinds of scams. The Song Yuanxi in front of her had definitely been drugged.

She moved forward and yelled, “Stop right there!”

The man did not turn around. Instead, he walked even faster!

An anxious Qiao Lian tried to get closer again. However, at this moment, the doors on both sides suddenly opened and a group of thugs rushed towards her.

Qiao Lian’s eyes narrowed and she instantly took a fighting position. As she saw a man run forward to grab her, she stretched out her arm and grabbed the man at once. She then gave him a forceful shove, pus.h.i.+ng him on top of another man!

She had taken some martial arts lessons before. However, the little martial arts’ knowledge that she had was ultimately not very helpful against this group of thugs. After all, her bare hands were hopelessly outmatched by the sheer number of thugs surrounding her.

Even though she had just beaten two thugs, more of them rushed up behind her. Then, they surrounded her completely. She had nowhere else left to run.

She worriedly bit her lip. Thugs started to attack her from all sides. Even though she managed to defeat the ones in front, she suddenly felt a flurry of punches attacking her from behind.

Oh no!

They were in deep trouble!

Just as she thought of this, she heard people screaming behind her. Then, a broad-shouldered and warm body pressed against her back. Shen Liangchuan’s usually calm voice was currently filled with worried as he said, “Are you a pig? Did you not know how dangerous it would be in here?”

Qiao Lian froze as she got scolded. She felt an unfathomable yet familiar sensation.

She remembered the other time this had happened… which had been while she was playing a video game.

Some random player was driving her crazy with his in-game antics. As she ran and chased after him, she carelessly fell into his trap. A couple of players hiding to the side of her suddenly burst out of their hiding place. The three players took the opportunity to surround and attack her, causing her life bar to slowly drained away. Right as she was on the verge of death, Zi Chuan suddenly rushed inside.

The voice chat function was switched on, so she heard his exasperated voice over the headset, saying, “Are you a pig? Why are you rus.h.i.+ng to your death?”

At this moment, that familiar voice sounded strangely similar to the voice that she was hearing right now.
