Chapter 384 Willing to Die for A Pretty Woman
“I’ll call Yang Tao.” Fu Zhengzheng dashes upstairs.

“What’s up?” Han Siqi closes the door and follows her immediately.

“I’ll tell you later.”

Fu Zhengzheng runs back to the room, calls Yang Tao with her cellphone and tells her idea to him.

“It may be feasible. I’ll arrange for it right now.” Yang Tao hangs up the phone excitedly.

When Fu Zhengzheng sees Han Siqi staring at her, she raises her head toward him complacently, “It’s to meet trick with trick.”

Han Siqi laughs, “Are you so sure?”

“Of course, don’t look down upon my ability.”

“My excellent darling, don’t you feel uncomfortable? I’ll take a bath.” Then Han Siqi enters the bathroom to run a bath.

Then Fu Zhengzheng feels her body sticky. She sticks her head into the bathroom for a look. Finding the bathtub hasn’t been full, she leans against the wall and continues to ponder about her idea.

Zhu Ting has just washed her clothes after a bath. Now she is humming song and airing clothes on the balcony.

She lives on the second floor. Though it’s a low story, the house in front of it isn’t right ahead, and her room is on the east part of the east unit. Therefore, on a corner of the balcony, she can see the front street aside with streetlamps on. She can’t see clearly the various shop fronts flanking the street, but she can see the colorful signboards shining above the shop fronts.

After airing clothes, Zhu Ting enjoys the night view of the city on the balcony. It’s the first time that she has found it’s so beautiful.

She hasn’t enjoyed the night view of the city for a long time. She forgets when she hung out in the evening last time, last year or the year before last?

In the past, so long as it was fine, she would go for a walk with her parents hand in hand after dinner. Her parents took her hands on both sides and told her the interesting things in the daytime. It’s her happiest moment during a day and the most beautiful memory of the city. Afterwards, her parents became busier and busier, and then she joined the army. Since then, the whole family has had less and less chances to be reunited.

Now her parents are not living in the city any longer, but she still has great attachment to it. Every year, she takes the chance of her cousin’s birthday to come here. Though each time she just stays for a short time, she can be consoled.

A breeze blows. She rolled sleeves high when she washed clothes, and now she feels cool. She stretches herself in a relaxed way. Then she enters the room and draws back the curtains.

Melodious music is still playing on the laptop that’s placed on the computer desk. She sits down and browses through the latest news. She finds it boring. Then she finds a funny movie, adjusts the position and half lies on the bed to watch it. The humorous plot and dialogues make her laugh loudly.

While she is watching the movie, the screen of her cellphone flashes next to her pillow. Because there is a dictograph in her room, she switches her cellphone into mute mode. She reaches out to take it and have a look. Then she replies to it and deletes the text messages together.

She gives a huge yawn, lies on her side and continues to watch the movie. Then she closes her eyes slowly.

Then she is woken up by a faint sound. She shivers, opens her eyes suddenly and sees a man rummaging through her bag. The faint voice comes from the small bell tied to her bag.

She can’t help crying in a trembling voice, “Who…who are you? How did you enter the house? Do you know you are committing a burglary? You will…”

Seeing her wake up, the man isn’t scared. He glances at her and continues to rummage through her bag while interrupting her lightly with a cold smile, “I have known what punishment burglars and robbers will get since I was 16 years old. I don’t need to be told by you.”

Then he becomes impatient, flings the bag on the ground, shows the small pile of money in his hand and roars at Zhu Ting.

“Damn, you only have so little money? Where is your other money? Give it to me!”

Seeing the man pay no heed to her warning, Zhu Ting knows he is a habitual criminal, so she doesn’t dare to say more. She curls in the bed with a shiver, wraps herself up with the quilt and stammers, “That…That’s all the money I’ve got.”

The man looks fierce. She points to the bag on the ground panickily at once, “There is a card in the interlayer. The password…password is 123456.”

The man picks up the bag, unzips it rudely and sees a card. He asks in a hoarse voice, “Is the password true?”

“Yes……” Zhu Ting nods immediately.

“How much money does it have?”

“Twenty thousand.”

“So little?! Do you have other valuable things?” The man seems to be discontented, but he puts the card to his pocket finally.

Zhu Ting curls herself tightly and keeps shaking her head, “No, no. I just graduated from the university. The money in the card is all I have.”

The man finds Zhu Ting wearing a necklace suddenly and bends his finger, “Give me the necklace!”

“Please. My mom gave it to me…”

The man roars. Zhu Ting shuts up immediately and hurries to untie the necklace. Perhaps because she is too scared, she can’t untie it with her shivering hands. She retracts the head and looks at the man disconsolately.

“Fuck! I have to do it myself!” The man curses and walks to her, “Turn around.”

Zhu Ting turns around tremblingly and gives her back to him.

The man unties the necklace from her neck and puts it to his pocket. But he doesn’t leave. Instead, he reaches out his hand and touches the nape of Zhu Ting’s neck.

Zhu Ting screams with a scare, “Ah—what do you want to do?”

“Alas, what do I want to do?” The man approaches her with a lewd smile, “I have committed various crimes, except rape. I want to have a try today.”

Zhu Ting counts on luck and warns him, “You can find any woman outside with the money you get here. If you just rob me of the money, I won’t call the police. But if you do that with force, I’d rather die than yield!”

“Die? Don’t worry. I won’t make you suffer so much. I will only bring you great pleasure.”

“Rape is a serious crime. According to Criminal Law…”

The man laughs hideously, “I have done many evil things recently. If I am arrested by the cops, I may never be able to be released. It’s worthwhile to taste your tender body before I am arrested.”

“Go away! Help!” Zhu Ting rolls out of the bed and intends to run to the door.

But the man runs to the door before her and blocks her way. When he sees her wearing a night dress, his eyes light up and he can’t help swallowing.

“I didn’t expect you would be in such a good shape. I’m so lucky. Haha.”

Zhu Ting has seen the stirring desire in his eyes. She turns back to the bed, leaps to the other side of the bed and runs to the balcony to cry for help. But she finds all windows have been shut. She wants to open one. However, before she reaches out her hand to it, she has been caught by the man. She throws off the man’s hand panickily, picks up the stainless wash basin from the sink and hits him with it. Then she cries for help at the top of her voice while rushing to the door.

With a thud, her hair is grasped by the man. She screams with pain.

The man pushes her with force, and she is pushed onto the bed.

Cellphone!

She holds the cellphone in her hand secretly. While turning around to beg for the man, she presses the talking key behind her back. Then she slips the cellphone by the pillow and continues begging, “I have given all my valuable things to you. Please let me off. I won’t call the police.”

“As an old saying goes, I’m willing to die if I can get a pretty woman. Wow, I’ve got a fresh and tender honey peach. If I don’t taste it, can I be regarded as a man? Baby, don’t be afraid. I will be tender.” Then the man pounces on her.

Zhu Ting shouts and rolls instantly. The man fails. She picks up a stool fast, throws it to the man and then runs to the door.

The man takes her by the arm and slaps her. She is thrown to the computer desk. Five fingerprints appear on her fair face immediately.

“Bitch, you compel me to use force to you!”

Zhu Ting is made dizzy and loses the sense of directions. She only throws what she can grope for by feeling.

The man rushes over, holds her hand, presses her on the computer desk and then shows a knife to her, “If you dare to move anymore, I will stab you.”

Zhu Ting is too frightened to move again. The man pulls with strength, and the shoulder straps of her night dress are torn.

When Zhu Ting is close to despair, someone knocks at the door loudly.

“Zhu? Zhu? What’s up?” The voice is strange. Zhu Ting guesses it’s the son of the old lady next-door. She feels excited.

The man’s face turns pale. Then he puts the knife on Zhu Ting’s neck and snaps in a low voice, “Tell them everything is all right and drive them away.”

Zhu Ting presses her lips, and the man’s knife moves closer to her. She is so panic that she says in a low voice instantly, “I’m fine.”

“Speak louder!”

“I…I’m fine.” Zhu Ting says in a trembling voice.

“Bang!” The door is burst open suddenly. Two tall men rush in.

The man is in panic, points the knife at Zhu Ting instantly and asks them, “Who are you?”

“Let her go.” A man shouts.

The man’s voice is like a great bell. The burglar’s hands begin to tremble.

Zhu Ting looks at the two tall men in panic. Then Fu Wenhai enters the room. When seeing him, she shouts as if the God came to save her, “Fu Wenhai, help!”

Fu Wenhai rushes over, points at the man and orders in a deep voice, “Let her go!”

Realizing these people all come to save Zhu Ting, the man becomes frightened. He points his knife at Zhu Ting and then shouts to those men, “Get out of the way! Make way for us!”

For fear that the man will hurt Zhu Ting, Fu Wenhai waves, and the tall men step aside. The man seizes Zhu Ting and walks to the door.

When they are close to the door, Zhu Ting steps hard on the man suddenly and pushes him with full strength. A tall man takes the chance to give the man a kick. The man flies outward with a scream. The neighboring old lady and her family are scared to leap to both sides outside the door. The man staggers and holds the stair. With no time to look back, he escapes downstairs hurriedly.

Zhu Ting is standing at the door. Because of the excessive scare, her face becomes pale and her legs are feeble. She rolls her eyes up and then passes out…
