Chapter 22: Fight to the Death

  "Ahh!!" A woman's shrill scream suddenly came from in front, her voice filled with panic and loss of control.

  Lin San looked up and suddenly became anxious, two young men appeared out of nowhere, holding knives, chasing after Gu Jialan, who was desperately dodging.

  "Damn it!" Lin San cursed and let go of the bald man, wanting to rush forward to save Gu Jialan.

  "Think you can leave? It's not that easy." The bald man suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin San.

  "Let me go!" Lin San roared in anger.

  "Let go? Didn't you want a one-on-one fight with me just now? Now I agree, come on." The bald man sneered.

  "Damn it!" Lin San understood the sinister intentions of Baldy's actions, which was to hold himself back and allow his companions to harm Gu Jialan.

  The bald man grasped Lin San's hands tightly, his feet wrapped around Lin San's lower back, making it impossible for him to get up.

  No matter how hard Lin San struggled, he couldn't break free from the bald man's restraints. As Gu Jialan was in increasing danger, Lin San became thoroughly anxious, lowered his head, opened his mouth and bit down on the bald man's nose. Fresh blood instantly filled Lin San's mouth and flowed slowly out of the corners of his mouth.

  "Ah!!" The bald man yelled in pain, stretching out his hand to slap Lin San's head and back, hoping to make him loosen his grip.

  Lin San was determined this time and no matter how the bald man slapped him, Lin San refused to back down and instead continued to increase his strength.

  "Ah!!!!!" The bald man's eyes suddenly snapped open, and then his body stiffened and he passed out.

  Lin San lifted his head, spat out half a mouthful of snot, and wiped his mouth with his hand: "So smelly!" After scolding, Lin San got up from the bald man's body and quickly ran towards Gu Jialan.

  Look at the bald man again, his nose is smooth and shiny, it was bitten off by Lin San, now his nose is constantly bleeding, looking very frightening.

  Gu Jialan was in a very sorry state, constantly dodging the attacks of the two young men. Her clothes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and there were several scratches on her arm. Every time Gu Jialan tried to run towards the gate, the two young men would come up and block her way. With no other choice, Gu Jialan ran into the main hall, picking up chairs and vases along the way and throwing them at the two young men to block their pursuit.

  The shopping mall actually had a few security guards, but these security guards were some unprofessionally trained people who didn't have the guts to rescue Gu Jialan.

  "Ah!" Gu Jialan's foot slipped and she suddenly fell to the ground.

  Two young pursuers' faces lit up with joy, and they hastily took their knives and stabbed towards Gulan.

  Gu Jialan let out a cry of surprise, her face revealing a desperate expression.

  "Whoosh!" A black shadow suddenly darted over and pounced on Gulan.

  Two youths' daggers immediately stabbed into the black shadow's back.

  "Clang! Clang!" Two muffled sounds, and the knives in the hands of the two young men instantly turned into fragments, leaving only the handles.

  Two young men stared blankly at the empty knife handles in their hands, their faces revealing extreme shock.

  Gujalan thought she was going to die, but suddenly someone rushed over and blocked the knife for her. Gujalans heart skipped a beat as she looked closely at the person who had blocked the knife for her, and it turned out to be Lin San. Gujalans quickly reached out to support Lin Sans pale face: "You... are you okay?"

  Lin San took a deep breath and smiled wryly: "I'm fine..."

  Lin San rushed over and saw two young men about to attack Gu Jialan, so he immediately pounced forward to block the knife for her. However, Lin San still held back a little, and as he rushed over, he took out the "knife-proof" talisman given by Guangyuanzi and stuck it on his chest.

  Lin San let out a gentle breath and thought to himself: This talisman is indeed effective. The two knives stuck in his back felt like being bitten by mosquitoes, without any pain at all.

  The two young men finally came to their senses, threw away the empty knife handles, and charged towards Lin San and Gu Jialan with their fists flying.

  Lin San pushed Gu Jialan: "You go first, I'll deal with these two." After finishing speaking, Lin San turned around and blocked the two young men.

  Gu Jialan got up from the ground and didn't run away, but looked at Lin San with a worried face. Just now, Lin San had risked his life to save her, so how could Gu Jialan possibly leave Lin San behind and run away by herself?

  Two young men struck with great force, each blow aimed at Lin San's vital parts. However, what left the two young men utterly astonished was that no matter how they beat Lin San, he didn't show any signs of pain. Moreover, the two young men felt that every time they hit Lin San, it was as if they were hitting a hard iron rod, which made their hands ache.

  Lin San knew that the two young men could not harm him, so he only attacked and did not defend, completely a desperate fight.

  As the saying goes: The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the ruthless, and the ruthless are afraid of those who have nothing to lose. Once a person has staked their life, the power that bursts out is astonishing.

  Two young men were getting more and more shocked, no matter what moves they made or where they hit Lin San, Lin San was fine, but their own hands were a bit swollen. The most annoying thing was that Lin San's moves were very despicable and shameless, and he kept aiming at the crotch of the two young men, making them dodge constantly.

  Suddenly, a police car siren was heard at the door, and then a large group of police rushed in from the entrance. As soon as they rushed in, they shouted: "Police, everyone put up your hands!"

  The two young men who were attacking Lin San immediately changed their expression when they saw the police coming, and then quickly attacked Lin San a few more times before running up the stairs.

  Several police officers immediately chased after him down the stairs.

  Lin San let out a breath and turned around to walk towards Gu Jialan: "Miss Gu, are you alright?"

  Gu Jialan shook her head: "And you?"

  "Oh, I'm thick-skinned and don't care," Lin San laughed.

  "But I just saw that you seemed to have been stabbed twice." Gu Jialan looked at Lin San with surprise, having been stabbed twice, but there was no blood on his body. Had she misseen it earlier?

  "Uh... just now I was slashed twice, but the other party didn't use much force, so I'm not seriously injured." Lin San didn't know how to explain it.

  "But..." Gu Jialan wanted to say something more.

  "Miss Gu, are you okay?" Zhou Tian led a group of security guards who were panting and ran over.

  Gujalan shook his head: "I'm fine."

  "Miss Gu, I'm really sorry. We didn't protect you well enough and let you get frightened..." Zhou Tian looked ashamed.

  "Never mind, it's just an accident today."

  "Director Zhou, what about those people who attacked you?" Lin San asked.

  "They ran away." Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as the police arrived, those people ran away."

  "Where did he go?" Lin San said.

  "Upstairs, he ran up the stairs." Zhou Tian glanced at the stairs: "I didn't chase him because I was worried about Miss Gu's safety."

  Lin San furrowed his brow: "Today's matter is somewhat suspicious, this group of people probably has some connection with this shopping mall, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hold a lottery activity in the mall's lobby."

  "I also think this mall is a bit suspicious." Zhou Tian felt the same way.

  At this time, several police officers came to the front of Gu Jialan, Lin San and others. A middle-aged policeman took out his ID: "I am the captain of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Police Brigade. I want to understand the situation just now."

  "We came to the mall to go shopping and were suddenly attacked by a group of people for no reason."

  "Do you know who did it?" the middle-aged policeman asked.

  "Frankly speaking, we are also unclear about it and hope that your police can investigate clearly as soon as possible."

  "This is our duty." The middle-aged policeman nodded: "Since you are the parties involved, according to regulations, you need to follow me back to the police station for a record."

  "Go to the police station?" Zhou Tian was taken aback and turned his head to look at Gu Jialan.

  Gujalan stepped forward from the crowd and walked up to the middle-aged policeman: "We have urgent matters that cannot be delayed, so we can't go to the police station with you. If you have any questions, ask them here."

  "Sorry, you have to come with me to the police station to make a statement, it's the rule." The middle-aged policeman's attitude was very firm.

  "May I make a phone call?"

  The middle-aged policeman nodded: "Okay, but hurry up."

  Gujalan took out his mobile phone, walked to one side, dialed a number and said a few words before hanging up.

  "In fact, it's no use finding someone to plead for you, our public security bureau has rules......" The middle-aged policeman said halfway through, and the mobile phone in his pocket started vibrating. The middle-aged policeman was stunned, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it, and suddenly became stunned again. He looked at Gu Jialan with a suspicious gaze, then answered the phone, his tone very respectful: "Deputy Director Lu, hello......Yes, yes, I'm at Tianma Shopping Mall......Ah, is that so? Okay, okay, I know what to do now......Goodbye, Deputy Director Lu." The middle-aged policeman put away his mobile phone and looked at Gu Jialan with a curious gaze. He took a deep breath and said: "Alright, you can go now."

  "Thank you." Gu Jialan threw out a sentence and turned around to walk towards the gate.

  Zhou Tian and Lin San hurriedly caught up, escorting Gu Jialan as they walked towards the entrance.

  The middle-aged policeman looked at Gu Jialan's back as she walked away, his expression somewhat complicated. After a long time, he finally let out a soft breath and turned to lead his subordinates away.

  Gujalan arrived at the gate and suddenly stopped in his tracks, slightly furrowing his brow.

  "Miss Guo, what's wrong?" Zhou Tian asked hastily.

  Gujalan looked at her shiny bare feet: "I lost my shoes..."

  "Ah, why don't we go buy another pair?" Zhou Tian suggested.

  "Hey, make way, make way." Lin San suddenly parted the crowd and ran in, still holding a pair of high heels in his hand. After catching his breath, Lin San said to Gu Jialan: "Miss Gu, I picked up the shoes you took off." As he spoke, Lin San bent down and gently placed the high heels beside Gu Jialan's feet.

  Gujalan glanced at the high-heeled shoes on the ground, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at Lin San: "You saved my life twice, but I still don't know your name."

  "Ah, I'm Lin San." Lin San said hastily.

  "Lin San..." Gu Jialan softly repeated, nodding slightly at Lin San before putting on her high heels and walking towards the road.
