To deal with these gangsters who usually bullied the weak and feared the strong, it was useless to reason with them. The most effective way to talk to them was to make them afraid.
Seeing that these bastards were intimidated by him and didn't dare to come forward, Xia Pingan coldly spat out a word, "Get lost..." The remaining bastards didn't dare to utter a word as they retreated one by one, trying to cover their heads and escape like rats.
"Take this guy away..." Xia Pingan said as he directly threw the fainted bastard towards those gangsters.
The 70-80 kg man was casually thrown by Xia Pingan like a bag of garbage, causing the other bastards to stagger and fall to the ground. After picking themselves up, those bastards carried the fainted guy and directly slipped away from the alley, not daring to look back.
Xia Pingan walked to the front of the woman, "Are you okay..."
Under the faint moonlight, it could be seen that the woman's hair was a bit messy, with a few strands of black hair hanging over her face. The hat that the woman was wearing had fallen to the ground and was trampled into a filthy mess. Two buttons of the coat that she was wearing had been torn off.
Under the coat, the woman was wearing a black skirt and white high-heeled shoes. She fell and sat in the dirty alley, revealing a pair of smooth and lovely calves and a bit of her plump snow-white thighs. The collar of the coat that had been torn off was open, revealing a snow-white shirt and a pale yellow tight-fitting sweater, making it difficult to hide her good figure. The woman was weak, but still beautiful, like a swan that had fallen into a quagmire. There was still a trace of panic on her face, but she didn't completely lose her composure and had already recovered some of her composure.
"Can you help me up..." The woman's voice was very pleasant. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly knitted, "My leg just... was twisted..."
Xia Pingan stretched out a hand. The woman grasped Xia Pingan's hand and struggled to stand up.
"Thank you, I'm Wei Meiyu..." The woman looked at Xia Pingan gratefully. She had already recognized that Xia Pingan was the passenger who had taken the ferry with her just now. Previously, Xia Pingan who sat at the back of the ferry was not conspicuous at all, just like an ordinary worker who came back late. He was not as dazzling as he was now. "I didn't expect that we could meet twice tonight. If not for you, I'm afraid..."
If Xia Pingan didn't appear, it was obvious what would happen next. This woman's fate tonight would be very tragic. Thinking of what might happen next, the woman couldn't help but shiver.
"You're welcome!" Xia Pingan looked around the surroundings of the alley. On both sides of the alley were low buildings such as factories and warehouses. It was dark and didn't look like a place for people to live. "Do you live here?"
"No, I live in the front. When the rickshaw pulled me here, it was stopped by those people. The rickshaw driver was slapped by them and ran away. I was then left here..." Wei Meiyu forced a smile.
Xia Pingan also shook his head. Although it sounded good to be a Good Samaritan, for ordinary people, not every ordinary person had the courage and ability to stand out at the critical moment.
Since it was so late and there were no cars around, it would be terrible if this woman was to go home alone in case she met some perverted men on the way. Therefore, Xia Pingan directly said, "It's so late. Lead the way, I'll send you back..."
"Okay, thank you!" The woman glanced at Xia Pingan gratefully. At this glance, the woman found that Xia Pingan's face was angular, young, and handsome. He had a special temperament. However, as soon as she made eye contact with Xia Pingan, the woman became shy and hurriedly avoided his eyes.
The two people walked out of the alley and came to the road outside.
Wei Meiyu's ankle had just been sprained, and she was wearing high heels, so she walked with a limp. Even if she held Xia Pingan's hand, she couldn't walk fast. Moreover, after walking a few steps, Wei Meiyu's temples had a thin layer of cold sweat, and her face was slightly pale.
"Don't move, let me take a look at your foot..." Xia Pingan squatted down and checked Wei Meiyu's ankle with his fingers. The woman's ankle was swollen. It seemed that she couldn't walk properly. There were no cars around and even the carriage had run away. It was a bit troublesome.
"I'm sorry to trouble you tonight. If you have something to do, you can leave first. I'll wait here for another carriage before going back..." Seeing Xia Pingan squatting in front of her to check her ankle and being touched by Xia Pingan's fingers, Wei Meiyu's face blushed.
Xia Pingan stood up and smiled, "It's okay, I'll wait with you..."
As soon as Xia Pingan finished his words, he saw that the carriage he had just been in magically turned around on the road not far away. The carriage was very fast and the coachman seemed to be struggling. He tilted his head and twisted his neck to look at them. It seemed that he was worried and wanted to take a look.
Xia Pingan waved his hand at the coachman. The coachman hurriedly turned the carriage around on the road and stopped in front of Xia Pingan. He looked at Xia Pingan with embarrassment and scratched his head, "Sir, I'm sorry... I just... just wanted to call the police. Erm, are you okay..."
This was also the state of ordinary people. They had a timid side, but they were not weak either.
As the coachman spoke, he looked at Wei Meiyu's face with the help of the two lanterns hanging outside the carriage. He seemed to be surprised by Wei Meiyu's beauty.
"It doesn't matter. Let's send this young lady home first. This young lady's home is in front …" Xia Pingan said as he opened the door of the carriage. He supported Wei Meiyu with one hand and let Wei Meiyu get on the carriage. Then, Xia Pingan also got on the carriage.
The carriage started moving again.
In the carriage, Xia Pingan and Wei Meiyu chatted. Xia Pingan found out that Wei Meiyu worked in the Shang Dynasty Library in Shang Jing City. She was a mathematical engineer in the Shang Dynasty Library and was responsible for the operation of the mechanical computers in the library.
The Shang Dynasty Library not only had the largest collection of books in the Shang Dynasty, but it also had the world's most exquisite gear-driven mechanical computer. The computer was as big as a four-story building and was driven by steam. It was one of the few important machines in the Shang Dynasty.
Speaking of Wei Meiyu's work in the library, Xia Pingan's heart skipped a beat. He had been thinking about when to go to the library to look for information and see if he could find clues about the Dark Tower. He didn't expect to meet someone who worked in the library. What a coincidence.
Wei Meiyu also knew Xia Pingan's name and that Xia Pingan was a summoner who had just arrived in Shang Jing City a few days ago.
Wei Meiyu was a little curious about Xia Pingan's identity as a summoner, but she was not too surprised. In Shang Jing City, summoners were not rare. Summoners were just a special profession, similar to Wei Meiyu's profession. In addition to the Judgement Army and bounty hunters, there were too many summoners in Shang Jing City, and there were even more summoners who wanted to make a name for themselves here.
The carriage didn't run for long on the road before arriving at a densely populated and brightly lit street.
Wei Meiyu lived in a four-story apartment building on the side of the street. The carriage stopped directly below the apartment building where Wei Meiyu lived. Xia Pingan sent Wei Meiyu all the way to the door before leaving. He took the carriage back to the place where he rented the place.
…
The next day, Xia Pingan left early in the morning and arrived at the Fearless House in Shang Jing's Bailing Alley.
This time, Xia Pingan didn't enter from the brothel. There were too many people there and it was too eye-catching. Xia Pingan walked through the Bailing Alley near the municipal park and directly arrived at the entrance of the Fearless House.
After entering the Fearless House, a servant led Xia Pingan inside.
When Xia Pingan entered, Lan Wuwei was behind the counter. When he saw Xia Pingan come in, Lan Wuwei's eyes lit up. He nodded to Xia Pingan and said directly, "This is a regular customer. Bring him to the room named Xiang!"
Xia Pingan saw Lan Wuwei again in the same room as last time.
Lan Wuwei looked at Xia Pingan with a different gaze. He looked more solemn than last time.
"You completed the task beautifully. Sir is very satisfied …" Lan Wuwei said to Xia Pingan. Then, he moved his hand and a black box of one foot square appeared. He pushed it in front of Xia Pingan and said, "This is for you!"
