Chapter 87 - 87 Hai Xiaotang, Is That You? _1
However, as she was about to go home, some drunk men blocked her way. They were all foreigners, tall and burly, leering at her with drunk, scary eyes. “Darling, are you alone?” One of them tried to catch her, Hai Xiaotang jerked away and tried to run.
But they moved fast, quickly blocked her way.
Hai Xiaotang was surrounded.
She glared, “Move or I will scream for help!”
“Haha, we won’t harm you.” A bearded man laughed, his gaze malicious, he waved the bottle in his hand, “Sweetheart, take a sip with us?”
“Yeah, take a sip with us.”
“Don’t be scared, one sip and we’ll let you go home.”
The men raised their bottles, their alcoholic breath assaulting her as they moved closer.
With a cold laugh, Hai Xiaotang brutally kicked the tallest man!
“Ouch…” He fell flat on his back.
Hai Xiaotang immediately swung her shopping bag with a thud on another man’s head.
The next second, she seized the opportunity to escape!
“Shi~t, catch her, I’ll kill her!”
“Stop, don’t run ”
The men were in hot pursuit with a murderous intent.
Although Hai Xiaotang knew some self-defense moves, she was no match for them.
If they caught her, she’d be done for.
Hai Xiaotang run frantically, but before long, she was exhausted.
Just as she was about to get caught, suddenly a figure rushed over, grabbed her, and shielded her behind him.
Hai Xiaotang was puzzled and before she could register what was happening, the man had rushed forward, and knocked the drunkards down swiftly and cleanly.
The whole process was like a thrilling movie scene, fast!
The man did not linger and pulled Hai Xiaotang to run with him.
Hai Xiaotang followed him numbly until they reached a safe spot and stopped.
Hai Xiaotang was doubled over, panting with shortness of breath.
The man’s hand lightly patted on her back, and he asked with low laughter, “Hai Xiaotang, is that you?”
Hai Xiaotang took a deep breath and raised her head in surprise.
Looking at the tall man in front of her, she couldn’t believe it, “Tao Yi?”
Tao Yi revealed a smile, his neatly arranged white teeth dazzling. “Indeed it is you! What are you doing in New York, aren’t you in C City?”
Hai Xiaotang also laughed, incredulously.
“Haha, and why are you here? What a coincidence, bumping into you like this.”
Tao Yi laughed, “I’m on a mission in the United States recently. I couldn’t believe my eyes when 1 saw you being chased.”
“Thank you so much!” Hai Xiaotang latched onto his arm, laughing happily,
“Thank you for coming to the United States on a mission!”
Tao Yi laughed, “What about you? Why are you here?”
Hai Xiaotang didn’t want to be specific, “I’m here for fun, I’ve only been here a couple of days.”
“Are you alone?”
“There are others, but tonight I’m alone.”
Tao Yi’s eyes flickered, he asked her, “Where are you staying? If 1 have time, I will come to see you.”
“I’m staying at the Hilton Hotel, you can call me.”
“Alright.” Tao Yi had other tasks at hand and could not talk to her much, “1 will not be able to invite you to dinner today due to work. I will find time to take you out for a meal. Are you going back now?”
“Yes, I am going back!” Hai Xiaotang nodded, “You go ahead with your work, 1 can go back by taxi..”
