Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Stay with Me for 1 Night

Le Tong was taken aback for a moment, not expecting such a certain matter to take a dramatic turn. She glanced at the police officer, her hands resting on her knees clenching into fists.

"You bitch, beg me! Beg me and I’ll spare you!"

The man yelled arrogantly, holding a towel against the wound on his head. Some of the blood had been wiped from his face, but the mottled blood stains remained on his face, making him look increasingly sinister and nauseating.

Le Tong glared at him fiercely and took out her phone, saying to the officer, "Sir, I’ll call a friend."

Le Tong wasn’t an innocent little girl, and from the brief exchange of glances between the two officers, she understood that the big shot mentioned by the vile man was someone the officers were wary of.

Going head-to-head with them was tantamount to throwing eggs against stones.

The officer nodded, gesturing with his eyes for her to step aside to make the call.

Le Tong took the phone to the window and dialed Yuan’er’s number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Yuan’er..."

Le Tong had just opened her mouth when she heard extremely noisy sounds from the other end of the line, with lively music and a boisterous crowd.

"Tongtong, didn’t you say you had to work overtime and couldn’t come? Do you have time now? I’ll ask my brother to pick you up..."

Luo Yuanyuan’s voice was loud, and the shouting reverberated in Le Tong’s ears.

Le Tong suddenly remembered that today was Luo Yuanyuan’s father’s sixtieth birthday. On Saturday, she had accompanied Luo Yuanyuan shopping all day to buy a gift. Originally, Luo Yuanyuan had said her father insisted on having Le Tong attend the birthday banquet, but Le Tong didn’t like such occasions, so she declined citing overtime.

Thinking about how guests were now filling the place with joy and harmony, Le Tong found it impossible to ask for help.

"No... I just wanted you to pass on a happy birthday message to Uncle Luo!"

Everyone seeks good fortune on their birthday, especially notable figures like the Luo Family. Her own mess wasn’t appropriate to bring up while they were celebrating and happy, ruining their auspiciousness.

"Alright, my dad really liked the gift you gave him! He insists you come over for dinner this Saturday, and no refusing!"

Luo Yuanyuan’s tone was lively, and one could tell she was in a great mood.

"Yeah, I got it. Tell Uncle Luo I’m sorry, I’ll cook for him this Saturday to make amends."

While speaking, Le Tong was contemplating whom she should ask for help next.

"Hey, with you saying that, my dad will be ecstatic! Alright then, I’m hanging up."

"Okay, bye-bye!"

Le Tong tried to calm her anxiety and anger, making her tone sound normal. As expected, Luo Yuanyuan, unaware of her friend’s predicament, hurriedly hung up.

Le Tong held the phone, her eyes downcast, sliding her fingers across the screen. The long list of contacts mostly consisted of college classmates, all just ordinary people. It seemed that among them, only Luo Yuanyuan had the capacity to help her now.

Just...

Scrolling down the contacts, some familiar names popped up: Aunt, Uncle...

Le Tong smiled bitterly, realizing these people had severed ties with her mother during her illness...

"Bitch, seeing you so pitiful, I’ll be generous and give you a chance today! Just accompany me for one night, and I’ll let you go!"

Le Tong was still fretting over the contacts list when the man’s obnoxious and sleazy yelling abruptly came from behind.

Le Tong turned around, glaring at him and gritting her teeth, "Scum! Pervert!"

At this moment, the man was slouched in a chair, arrogantly putting his feet up on the table and swaying them, head slightly tilted back, his terrifying face wearing a disgusting, lewd smirk.

"Tsk, beauty, bad men make women love them..."

Le Tong frowned, feeling like she could rush over and stab the man twice!

Initially hesitant, she found the man’s repulsiveness unbearable and suddenly turned around, pressing a button to make a call.

"Hey!" The phone barely rang once before it was answered, and a man’s cold and stiff voice came through.
