Chapter 66: Real-life Version of Embarrassing Countryside Trip
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Two lonely figures on the platform of the train station…
“Little Jian, do you have money?”
Jian Dan knew that this was a relatively remote place, so she had prepared some cash. However, she had intended to come alone, so she did not prepare much.
“I only have 1,000 yuan.”
“1,000 yuan? That’s enough if we spend it prudently! The prices here are relatively low.”
Grandpa, you’re really optimistic!
Forget it. Seeing that Grandpa is still so enthusiastic, 1’11 just treat it as a different traveling experience!
She went to buy new train tickets but was told that the earliest train was at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
Hence, the two of them immediately decided to take a bus…
On the way to the bus station, they encountered a pickpocket who stole Jian Dan’s purse and both their cell phones…
Fortunately, Jian Dan discovered it. A game of cat and mouse immediately ensued!
The only thing that surprised Jian Dan was that Grandpa’s stamina was surprisingly good. He did not look like an old man who was almost 80 years old at all.
If it was not for Grandpa, she definitely would not have been able to catch up to this pickpocket today.
But in the next second… she might as well not have been able to catch up!
They had chased him to his lair. A group of ferocious-looking people surrounded the two of them.
Two against so many… the two of them could only admit defeat.
The two of them had clearly admitted defeat, but those people did not seem to want to let the matter rest.
What should she do?! Two fists were no match for four hands! Moreover, it was an old man and a lass now.
Jian Dan remembered that there was a market on the way here. There were many people there, so it was easier to escape. Now, she had to think of a way to return to that market.
Jian Dan noticed that there was a lot of cement and sand used for renovation at the side… She signaled Grandpa with her eyes, and Grandpa immediately understood…
The two of them tacitly grabbed the cement on the ground and threw it at the eyes of the two people behind them. They immediately ran amidst the chaos that ensued.
Jian Dan felt that she had never run so fast before. If she could run at this speed during the exam, she would have earned her PEO credits long ago.
The people behind were still chasing relentlessly.
They had no choice but to… hurl whatever they could get their hands on—in the market—backwards as they ran. Eggs! Vegetables! Fruits! They threw whatever they could.
More and more people were chasing after them. Other than the people from the pickpocket gang, there were also people whose stalls were trashed and whose items were destroyed… Jian Dan and Grandpa did not dare to stop for a moment. They were covered in an assortment of “ingredients”, such as eggs, tomato juice, stalks of vegetables, fruit peels, and so on!
However, the two of them could not care less about their image. Their priority was to escape.
The people behind them chased them relentlessly. They fled all the way to the top of a bridge and realized that someone had actually circled to the front. Now, they were caught in between.
“Little Jian, there’s no other way out. We can only take a gamble!”
He had promised Liyuan to bring Jian Dan back intact.
No matter what, he was a special forces soldier when he was young. He couldn’t even protect a lass?
Jian Dan looked at Grandpa in confusion. It was obvious that she did not understand what Grandpa meant.
Chu Zhiyuan had already noticed that a truck was driving over from afar. Now, it was already under the bridge.
Time was tight, so he did not have time to explain to Jian Dan. He pulled her over the guardrail of the bridge and jumped down…
At that moment, Jian Dan felt that she was about to die… She could not hear anything except the wind…
