The head of those people touched his nose and thought for a long time. After a long time, he slowly let people take out the smelly socks in Adelaide's mouth. She couldn't help bending over and vomiting.
She threw up so much that she felt as if she would threw up her bile. With her eyes red, Adelaide managed to stand up, and then she rushed to Hanna, pushing her and wanting her to leave.
It would be extremely lucky if one of them could leave soundly. At least Hanna thought so.
"PA!"
A clear shot rang out, startling the birds above the bamboo forest so much that they spread their wings and fled.
They turned to where the sound came from. A man limping on crutches came to them. Adelaide unconsciously hugged Hanna who was around her and couldn't stop her heart from beating hard.
"What you've done was against the law and I've videoed everything just now as evidence. Go away, or it'll be too late when my friends come."
Although he was lame, his voice was sonorous and strong. His clothes had obviously faded from the wash, but it did not affect his deterrent.
The head of those people swallowed saliva. The minions behind him pulled his sleeve and whispered a few words in his ear. His expression was the same as that of Adelaide and Hanna when they were surrounded just now. It seemed that they were afraid of a gun even they had electric sticks.
Adelaide was secretly relieved. Today, they should be safe with the help of this person. While thinking of this, she moved to the lame man unconsciously.
"What...What do you think you are?" The head of those men hunched forward in a little fear. On the surface, he had to ask constrainedly when he considered his face in front of minions.
The lame man continued to walk towards them, randomly aimed at a place and shot. "PA!" It was another gunfire. He looked at the head of those men who had lost his confidence, "My name is Channing. I'm a former criminal police officer of the Public Security Bureau of J City. "
There were so many criminal police officers in J City. How could these thugs remember the names of all the policemen? Besides, the gun in his hand alone was enough to keep these men from doing anything else.
They confronted each other for a few minutes. And then the head of those men shouted to the minions behind him loudly, "Go!"
Soon, they all disappeared.
Adelaide thanked him. She thought that she was destined to be raped by these people today. It never occurred to her that she was saved by the last person she wanted to see finally.
The lame man was her ex-boyfriend, Channing!
Today, he looked somewhat like a gentleman. He smiled slightly and bowed ninety degrees to Adelaide, saying that he knew he was wrong and should not help Clarissa to harm her. He also hoped that she could forgive him.
Adelaide was still soft-hearted after all and he even saved her just now, so she couldn't say some hurtful words to him anymore. Finally, she smiled and forgave him.
At this time, Channing proposed to have a meal with Adelaide. Adelaide subconsciously wanted to refuse. But after Channing mentioned that he had just saved her, she nodded and agreed because she had to pay him back.
Channing asked excessively to eat with only Adelaide. Hanna wouldn't easily believe him, pulled Adelaide's arm strongly and said that he couldn't have a meal with Adelaide without her.
He thought: since you must come, don't blame me.
Then, he took them both to a nearby restaurant.
Seeing Adelaide and Hanna both fall on the dining table, Channing didn't panic at all. Instead, he showed a weird smile.
