In that instant, he felt as if something was gripping his heart tightly, causing waves of pain to ripple through his body.
He didn't even have time to think about it. In the instant that Shi Yao's figure brushed past him, like a robot being controlled, he raised his leg and followed after her.
He didn't think about whether he would be able to defeat these people, nor did he think about the consequences of following after them. There was only one thought in his mind — Soft Bun had been tricked out of her home unscathed, so he had to ensure that she would return home unscathed. He wouldn't allow even a single strand of her hair to be broken.
There were many people walking to and fro along the street, and most of them had formed their own cliques, so no one noticed Lin Jiage and Shi Yao's actions.
There were many courtyard houses on the side of this street, but none of them were occupied.
It was hard to tell how Qin Yiran's group managed to break the lock of a courtyard house, but the dark-skinned and brawny man easily pushed open the door of a courtyard house and switched on the lights before leading Qin Yiran in.
The door of the courtyard house was extremely narrow, such that only two people could pass through at a time.
Perhaps fearing that an accident might occur, they intentionally left one person behind to follow behind Lin Jiage.
Shi Yao was in front of Lin Jiage, so as soon as she entered the courtyard house, Lin Jiage hastened his footsteps to catch up to her.
A second after Lin Jiage stepped into the courtyard house, Qin Yiran, who had just lit up a cigarette, suddenly spoke up, "Lin Jiage, I'll give you a choice. Between you and her, who wants to talk to me first …"
Ignoring Qin Yiran's words, Lin Jiage walked roughly a meter into the courtyard house. When the person walking at the very back also entered the courtyard house, Lin Jiage suddenly made a move.
His reaction was swift and abrupt, catching Qin Yiran's group completely off guard. The long-haired man who was covering Shi Yao's mouth didn't even have a chance to cry out before he was knocked to the ground by Lin Jiage. Following which, Lin Jiage grabbed Shi Yao's wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Following which, he raised his leg and kicked the man walking at the very back.
At this moment, Qin Yiran and the others finally realized what was going on. Cursing profanities from their mouths, they charged toward Lin Jiage and Shi Yao.
As the courtyard wasn't too big, the distance between each other wasn't too far. Thus, it didn't take long for the crowd to reach Lin Jiage and Shi Yao.
Lin Jiage didn't pay any heed to them at all. Instead, he lowered his head and said to Shi Yao, who was still wrapped in his embrace, "Run!"
Almost as soon as those words reached Shi Yao's ears, she felt a powerful force pushing her back, pushing her out of the courtyard house. Before she could regain her balance, she heard a loud 'kuang lang' behind her. By the time she turned around, the door to the courtyard house had already been slammed shut.
However, Lin Jiage didn't follow her out.
Shi Yao's first thought was to call the police, but when she reached for her pocket, she realized that she hadn't brought her phone with her when she went to the washroom.
Shi Yao's second thought was to rush to the courtyard house. She pushed the door, but it didn't budge.
She knew that it was Lin Jiage who was pushing the door open from the inside.
She couldn't get in, and those people couldn't get out.
