Free Web NovelChapter 62: Chapter 62: I’m Not Afraid, You Will Definitely Save Me
The advantage Shen Nian possessed, one that no one else had, was, of course, her portable space!
Since she was going out this time, Shen Nian had prepared quite a few things, all thanks to the powerful tool that was her space. After all, any random corner in her space could hold a ton of stuff.
What she carried on her person were just some daily necessities; she couldn’t very well leave the house empty-handed, after all.
And as luck would have it, after doing some needlework last night, she had casually tossed a sewing kit into her space.
’What if I secretly take out the needle I used last night from my space and stick it into the trafficker’s arm...’
’I can’t expect to subdue him that easily, but at the very least, it should be enough to make him falter for a moment, right?’
Besides, Shen Nian had worked in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic for a while in her past life. She had studied some pharmacology and was especially familiar with the human body’s acupressure points.
It wouldn’t be difficult to find a point on his arm that would cause a sharp, numbing pain. Once his arm went numb and tingly, Shen Nian wouldn’t have to worry about the knife in his hand hurting her.
With this in mind, Shen Nian silently began to rummage through her space for her sewing kit, pulling out the smallest and thinnest needle.
It was a good thing she had previously practiced how to retrieve items from her space without having to enter it. Otherwise, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she might not have been able to smoothly retrieve the needle today.
Because Shen Nian had retrieved the smallest needle, no one noticed when it suddenly appeared in her hand.
After Shen Nian had done all this, the trafficker behind her was still shouting at Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng’s gaze remained locked on her. If the trafficker tried to do anything to Shen Nian, Lu Cheng would surely be able to rush over in an instant.
Shen Nian had already pinpointed the acupressure point on the trafficker’s arm. Now, everything depended on the unspoken coordination between her and Lu Cheng.
’But given the situation, there’s no way for me to discuss this with Lu Cheng. How can I let him know and get him to coordinate with me?’
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng looked back at her.
"Don’t be afraid. I’ll save you."
Lu Cheng thought Shen Nian was afraid and gently tried to soothe her.
"Hmph! This knife in my hand doesn’t have eyes. I’d like to see you try and save her from me! No matter how fast you are, can you be faster than my blade?"
After forcing back the surrounding police and their assistants, the trafficker became much more arrogant than before. In his eyes, Lu Cheng was not a threat at all.
’If that guy really had what it takes, he would have made his move long ago. Why is he still dawdling?’
’Besides, things have already come to this. If worst comes to worst, I’ll take him down with me!’
Shen Nian ignored the trafficker behind her and simply nodded at Lu Cheng.
"I’m not afraid. I know you’ll save me!"
Shen Nian finished speaking with a smile. Then, her hand twitched slightly. After nodding at Lu Cheng one more time, she stabbed the needle toward the acupressure point she had already located on the trafficker’s arm.
Lu Cheng naturally noticed the change in Shen Nian’s expression and saw the slight movement of her hand. Soon after, he saw the strength in the trafficker’s grip falter. Although it was subtle, he caught it.
’Now!’
Before anyone in the crowd could react, they only saw Lu Cheng’s figure rush toward the trafficker like a gust of wind.
In a single move, the trafficker was kicked to the ground by Lu Cheng, unable to move.
Even as he lay on the ground, kicked down by Lu Cheng, the trafficker couldn’t figure out why his arm had suddenly gone numb with pain.
Why was that guy so impossibly fast!
Why, when he clearly held every advantage, had he been so utterly defeated in the blink of an eye?
