Chapter <b>425 </b>


    The thugs found Vi’s frightened appearance amusing. “Why so scared? We’re just making friends. We’ll take good care of you,” one of them sneered.


    Looking at the greasy and ugly faces in front of her, Vi felt disgust along with her fear. She retorted, “I have a boyfriend. If you dare touch me, my boyfriend won’t let you off.”


    The young man who had pulled her over mocked, “In that case, call your boyfriend over. I’d love to see who’s the one who’ll be let off easy.”


    Vi was still gripping Mnie’s hand tightly due to fear, ignoring the pain she was causing. In an attempt to calm her, Mnie held Vi’s other hand, urging her not to provoke the thugs any further.


    However, instead of calming down, Vi shook off Mnie’s hand. She took out her phone from her bag, saying, “I’ll call him over. Just wait—”


    Before she could finish her sentence, someone pped the phone out of her hand and onto the ground.


    The thug smirked. “Call him over for what? So that he can watch how you’ll entertain us? Hmm?”


    These thugs were no strangers to illegal activities. One of them grabbed Vi’s sleeve. With a forceful pull, the sound of fabric tearing echoed through the alley.


    Vi screamed and attempted to kick the thug, but with her limited strength, she failed tond a hit


    Instead, the thug seized her and tore the sleeve of her right arm, exposing her pale skin. The thugs‘ expressions changed as they stared at her bare arm.


    Amid her struggles, Vi, both frightened and anxious, looked back at Mnie. Her eyes were full of pleading. “Mnie, quickly make them stop!”


    Mnie frowned. How could she make them stop? Nevertheless, she did not dwell on it for long since she could not let these people harm Vi.


    Mnie pulled Vi behind her, her expression cold as she red at the lead thug. She attempted to conceal her fear as she said, “You want money, right? I’ll give it to you.‘


    ”


    The thugs exchanged nces and halted their actions. The lead thug said, “Shouldn’t you have said that earlier? We wouldn’t have needed to get rough with you earlier.”


    He reached out to touch Mnie’s face, but she quickly dodged.


    Hiding behind Mnie, Vi seemed to <b>be </b>in a daze as she asked, “Do you know them? Why are they asking you for money?”


    Mnie was on the verge of breaking down intoughter. Vi’s focus was peculiar at this moment. Despite being in the midst of danger, she was still trying to <b>set </b>traps.


    Before Mnie could respond, the shrill sound of police sirens echoed in the distance, and it was approaching rapidly. Having sensed things were going south, Mnie felt a slight <b>relief </b>upon hearing the <b>siren</b>.


    She had already dialed the emergency number in her bag when she <b>sensed </b>danger earlier,


    Chapter 425 4511


    Mnie had set her emergency contact after the previous incident when George caused trouble at the hospital.


    When the thugs heard the police sirens, they suddenly panicked. After muttering a few curses under their breath, they forcefully pushed Mnie and Vi aside before running away.


    Quick on her feet, Mnie shielded Vi behind her and protected her from being bumped into by the fleeing thugs. In the end, Mnie got run into harshly a few times.


    It was not until the alley fell quiet again that Mnie frowned slightly. Her shoulder had not fully healed yet, and the impact from the thugs bumping into her might have aggravated her injury.


    She turned to look at Vi behind her and asked somewhat impatiently, “You okay?”
