Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Bai Mengmeng is Kidnapped

After running about ten meters, Song Yi let go of her.

Of course, he could run faster alone, but he didn’t completely abandon her.

He took the bag from her to lighten her load.

Together, they raced down the mountain, one chasing the other.

On the way, they encountered five or six people staggering about, clearly those who had just run out of the supermarket.

Most of them had nothing in their hands, whether they had failed to grab anything or had been robbed by others.

Song Yi and his companion ran swiftly, not looking injured, and every time they passed these people, there was a look of panic, fearing they might do something to them.

Fortunately, the group didn’t follow them, probably too busy scrambling inside the supermarket.

They finally reached the green belt and barely stopped to catch their breath, utterly terrified.

"Let’s go this way, it might be faster," he said.

"Okay!" she agreed.

The two did not dare to rest, and directly entered the green belt.

Song Yi kept alert, brandishing a short knife in front, and Jhiang Yuan understood his intention.

Any first comer walking this path wasn’t stupid; they could encounter anyone.

There was nothing "friendly" to mention; you not wanting to hurt others didn’t mean they didn’t want to harm you.

She silently drew her Tang Sword, closely following Song Yi, fearing unexpected incidents.

Indeed, there were people inside, but their condition wasn’t good.

Another man was lying on the ground with a visible wound on his stomach.

He must have exerted his last strength to make it down here.

Seeing them, he kept edging backward.

Song Yi looked at him, holding the short knife across his chest.

"You go first..."

"Hmm!"

Jhiang Yuan quickly moved forward, not daring to linger.

It wasn’t until she was five or six meters out that Song Yi caught up.

The man sighed in relief but seemed like he was about to die.

He now realized that these two were not enemies, at least they hadn’t hurt him.

He called out feebly for help, which both heard, but neither turned back.

In such circumstances, when their own safety was at risk, who could afford to be magnanimous?

Even knowing that he was also a victim, really empathizing was impossible.

The two continued downward, the path now icy, which slowed their pace.

Yet, they did not dare to let down their guard, fortunate that the residential area was close.

They were just steps away from safety, her eyes sparking with joy.

"Someone..."

Song Yi whispered, indicating a person indeed sitting despondently on the curb.

Impressive, not afraid of freezing his butt off.

She had not even had the chance to commend this brother when she noticed an increasingly familiar figure.

That outfit, that loser aura, was none other than Xia Chaoyang!

Well, what happened here?

The person also sensed someone approaching, abruptly lifting his head, almost instantly recognizing Jhiang Yuan.

"Jhiang Yuan, is that you?" he called out, standing and walking toward them.

"Don’t move..."

Song Yi drew his sword, not trusting anyone now.

"It’s me, Jhiang Yuan, tell him to put the knife down..."

Oh, his face seemed so swollen.

"Xia Chaoyang, what are you doing sitting here, where is Bai Mengmeng?"

The moment she spoke, she poked his sore spot.

This man actually had the urge to cry, his speech carried a sobbing tone.

"We brought back the stuff, ran into three people, and they stole everything from us.

They even kidnapped Mengmeng, what about Jhiang Yuan, hurry up and go save her!"

She took a deep breath, hardly able to believe her ears.

With a hint of helplessness, she retorted, "You’re asking me to save Bai Mengmeng?"

"Yes, those three are from the neighborhood, they took the stuff and then took Mengmeng with them."

"Then why don’t you go, you already know they are from the neighborhood, why aren’t you fighting them?"

At these words, he became even more aggrieved.

"I did go, but I couldn’t beat them, they even had knives, look at my clothes, they’re all torn up."

Saying this, he unabashedly showed them his damaged cotton-padded jacket.

The cotton was spilling out, it really was pitiful.

I didn’t notice earlier, but now up close, it’s clearly visible.

Xia Chaoyang’s clothes weren’t just ruined, his body was also covered in dirt and ice chips.

It seems he was dragged on the ground by that group.

"So you just watched helplessly as Bai Mengmeng was taken away? You said you loved her dearly, why are you so cowardly?

Even though you got hurt, what about her? She could be facing much worse.

It’s just three men, aren’t you afraid the grass on your head is getting too long, and cows might come to graze it?"

Honestly, Jhiang Yuan was somewhat angry.

The Bai Mengmeng of today is just like herself from a previous life.

Xia Chaoyang is truly the epitome of timidity, unexpectedly, he’s backing away.

He loudly argued, painting himself as a victim, "What do you expect me to do? I didn’t want this either. It took us so long to find food.

Then these people show up, what can I do? I can’t beat them. Do you want them to kill me?"

Listen to this, the thought process of such a person is indeed peculiar.

"Being right doesn’t depend on being loud. Since you chose Bai Mengmeng, you have the duty to protect her.

You’re just selfish, don’t deny it.

If you had fought with all your might, there might have been a sliver of hope, but you did nothing.

And now you want me to save her? Go dream on, pfft..."

The outcome for Bai Mengmeng is predictable; they are both fools. All that food, and yet so blatantly imprudent, they deserve it.

"So you tell me, what exactly can I do, what can I do?"

His questioning almost burst out as a roar.

"Enough with you, if you can’t handle those people, don’t take it out on me; I won’t indulge you.

How can you say you have no way out when you’ve always bragged about being handsome?

Then go exchange yourself for her, why aren’t you?"

Xia Chaoyang’s face filled with horror, looking at Jhiang Yuan as if she were some kind of monster.

"What are you saying, I’m a man."

"So what if you’re a man? Who knows, they might prefer that flavor. Did you even try fighting for it? No, haha..."

She dragged out her voice intentionally, which made him feel worse than if she had insulted his national pride.

"I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person."

He was both ashamed and furious.

"See? Now you know. I don’t want to waste words with you, coward..."

With that, Jhiang Yuan turned and left, needing to get back quickly.

Who could assure that the group wouldn’t come back later? There was no point wasting time with this idiot.

"Jhiang Yuan..."

She had just taken a few steps when Xia Chaoyang called out to her again.

"What now..."

She was getting impatient.

"I just wanted to ask, does what we talked about earlier still count?"

Wow, he was still thinking about that matter, guess Bai Mengmeng really doesn’t matter to him!
