It was at this time that Melinda noticed the man. He had a long scar on his face, looking like a savage.
Thinking of this, Melinda swallowed nervously with her eyes wide open.
The man looked at Melinda angrily. He did not expect that she would be so violent. His anger was even more frightening. Melinda unconsciously reached out her hand to search the things in her bag.
It was not far away from the community, so she should be able to escape safely.
"Why did you follow me?" Melinda still waved the iron bar, as if she was threatening. The man felt a little annoyed that he didn't expect himself to be beaten. The wound on his body reminded him that Melinda was not a woman to be trifled with.
"If you don't tell me the truth now, I'll call the police," Melinda threatened.
When the man heard her words, his expression changed a little. Finally, he said helplessly, "Mr. Gu asked me to protect you."
'Mr. Gu? Jonas?' Melinda began to think.
The fierce looking man in front of her was here to protect her, but she just beat him. Recalling that, Melinda found that he did not fight back, but protected himself from too much harm.
Seeing that she was still suspecting him, the man explained, "Last time, Mr. Gu found out that Emily had put a tracker in him. Then he found out that Emily was looking for someone to retaliate against you."
"Revenge on me? I haven't bothered her recently, have I?" Melinda was puzzled. Why did Emily badger her when she only worked hard?
The poker faced scarred man's face convulsed. Obviously, he was speechless to what Melinda paid attention to.
"Mr. Gu knows that you don't want him to follow and protect you, but he is worried about your comfort, so he arranged me to escort you home after work,"
the man said. He thought, 'Mr. Gu is such a cold man. Sometimes he is so soft. But this woman is really a little more violent.'
Although he had a strong resistance and had had more severe injuries than this, he felt ashamed to be hit by a woman like this.
Melinda was touched by the consideration of Jonas, but her gratitude didn't last long.
No matter what he did or how well he did now, it couldn't make up for what he had done in the past.
"I don't need his fake kindness." Now that Melinda knew who he was, she was not nervous at all. She crossed her arms and sneered.
The man thought that Melinda was ungrateful. He was annoyed by her reaction and wanted to teach her a lesson.
He was not happy for Jonas, but he also wanted to revenge for himself. Anyway, he could only think about it.
"Miss Mo, you really don't know anything, two days ago, a man followed behind you and was about to attack you, but I stopped him."
He told her about the danger of that day, as if it was just a casual thing. However, Melinda was frightened into a cold sweat. If it had not been for someone protecting her two days ago, she might have been hurt now.
It was not until now that Melinda realized that her back had been wet in sweat.
Her fears were expressed undisguised at this time, which made the man feel a little better.
But, thinking of what Jonas had told him, he reminded her again, "Now that you have discovered me, I won't protect you in the future. Be careful."
The man felt that as long as Melinda was cautious enough, she would not be hurt. He was hurt seriously. At this time, standing up from the ground, he could not help but gasp in astonishment.
Melinda walked to him and offered, "How about I take you to the hospital?"
Melinda's eyes were calm, and at this time the guilt was obvious. The man stood up from the ground and pulled the corner of his mouth. "No, it's just a small wound. I'll apply some medicine after I go back."
He walked steadily, except for some improper movements occasionally. Melinda walked slowly towards the community after the man disappeared.
Thinking of how fierce she was just now, in the eyes of him, it was just a minor wound. Needless to say, if this person was really a gangster, her tricks were not enough at all.
The thought of this sent a shiver down her spine. It was the first time that Melinda had felt so close to danger.
With mixed thoughts, Melinda came back home. Not until she checked the windows and door three times did she relax a little.
She had been tortured for only a short while by the feelings of fear and trembling. However, Melinda dared not let herself sleep.
At the same time, the man appeared at Jonas's house. Seeing his injury, Jonas asked, "Did Emily attack?"
"Boss, she caught me,"
the man said reluctantly. Even the bastards sent by Emily were not strong enough for him to beat alone, but Melinda, no matter how strong one's ability was, he couldn't beat her, so he had to restrain himself.
"Did Linda hit you?"
