Chapter 14: A Shortcut Through The Alley

Yang Yiting left Beautiful Dreams warehouse and went to the second warehouse left to her by her mother.

The second warehouse, Luxurious Set, was located at the end of Zhuque Street. Since the warehouse was selling antiques and painting, the environment needed to be relatively quiet.

Zhuque Street's warehouse's shopkeeper that Yang Yiting did not change was a shopkeeper named Wu Ma.

Yang Yiting investigated. Although this shopkeeper Wu Ma didn't make any achievements, just like his name, he didn't make any mistakes, and he was highly professional.

Yang Yiting couldn't find another suitable candidate for a while. After doing some kind of findings on the shopkeeper Wu Ma, she decided to keep him, but he was assigned an accountant so that they could supervise each other.

Account verification, outbound and inbound were all registered in detail, and reported to her on a regular basis.

By the time Yang Yiting finished checking the second warehouse's accounts, it was already dusk. Remembering that she agreed with Madam Yang today to accompany her to dinner, she feared that the time might be too late.

So, under the directive of Lu Zhu, Yang Yiting took a shortcut, planning to cross the alley at the end of the street, which could save half of the distance.

The alley was very quiet, and there was usually no one passing by. When Yang Yiting and her maid servant walked to the depths of the alley, they were suddenly stopped by a group of people.

The leader had an extremely wretched face, marked with a scar. He approached Yang Yiting step by step and said with a grin. "Oh, who do we have here? Two little ladies. Ah, this one with delicate skin and tender flesh. A true beauty. I can smell your scent from afar. Please lift your veil, and let this lord take a closer look."

Lu Zhu guarded Yang Yiting in a panic and summoned the courage to shout loudly. "What do you want? Do you know whose lady this is? You better leave now!"

"Blah, blah, blah!" Scarface said nonchalantly. "Who cares about who she belongs to. As long as I look at her face, I will let her go. But don't think you can just escape from my hand otherwise."

The three dark figures next to each other laughed and agreed. One of them with a big mole on his face said. "San Ye, this other little human girl looks pretty too. She's so beautiful. You can give her to us if you don't want to."

Lu Zhu's face turned pale when she heard this, but she still insisted on protecting Yang Yiting, not running away.

Yang Yiting patted the back of Lu Zhu's hand to signal her not to be afraid. She was still a little touched by the loyalty of this girl. Back home in her world, she was an orphan, had no relatives, and few friends.

She was a relatively indifferent person in terms of interpersonal relations, and she did not know how to get along with others. She cherished the sincere treatment of Lu Zhu and Miss Xu.

Lu Zhu saw the calm eyes of the young lady, and the panic in her heart was relieved a bit. For some reason, the current lady always had the power to calm people down, and they couldn't help but want to believe her. Such a lady was really rare.

Yang Yiting looked at the San Ye in front of her coldly, took out a small dagger hidden in her cuffs, and secretly held it in her hand.

This dagger was bought at a shop next to her warehouse just now. Seeing that it had a light sharp blade, she decided it was very suitable for making a scalpel. She bought it and planned to go to the iron shop to make a complete set according to this look. The dagger just happened to be available now.

Afterward, she said to him. "Who sent you here? Is it a man or a woman, is it young or old, is it one person or two people?"

Questions upon question she threw at him, stunning San Ye. She walked lightly to deceive him with her body movement.

Before they knew it, Yang Yiting's dagger was already on San Ye's neck and she continued to ask in a flat tone. "That person, did he or she ask you to humiliate us, or to intimidate us, or both?"

Scarface was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by Yang Yiting. Looking at her in disbelief, he seemed to be unable to believe that a charming lady could produce a knife that was so sharp in a swift move. His eyes widened, and he didn't know how to react. .

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yang Yiting's hand holding the knife tightened, and soon, a blood stain appeared on the neck of Scarface. He felt the cold pain and yelled in anger, "Stop it. Take the knife away, or you will regret it."

Yang Yiting gave a cold snort and was about to continue to ask him when she heard Lu Zhu's cry. "Miss, help me!"

She turned her head and saw that the other three figures were holding Lu Zhu. She was struggling to get free and was slapped several times. After a while, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

Although San Ye was a local ruffian, he grew up in local fights. His actual combat experience was definitely better than Yang Yiting and stronger, too.

She was distracted by Scarface, who found a chance and waved the back of his hand in her direction. He knocked down the dagger in Yang Yiting's hand and immediately kicked her to the ground.

"Miss, miss, are you alright?" Lu Zhu asked, really hating herself in her heart. She blamed herself for being useless. Not only could she not protect her mistress, but she also dragged her back. Seeing Yang Yiting being kicked down, she blamed herself and cried distressedly.

Yang Yiting fell to the ground, holding her stomach. Although it was not a big problem, she still thought about not being able to defend herself with regret.

The previous owner of the body's combat experience was not good enough, and recently, she had been too negligent to exercise. This had made her so weak. If not for the fact that she had some trainings in her previous world, she would have collapsed since.

Scarface picked up the dagger on the ground, reached out to touch the bleeding wound on his neck, walked up to Yang Yiting, and used the dagger to remove the veil on her face.

After seeing the scar on her face, he sneered and said. "I thought you'll be a great beauty, but you turned out to be another scar-faced like me. Look at your scars. They're even worse than the one on my face. Who's the Scarface now? Well, let me give you one more scar. Then, we'll know you're the true Scarface."

A fierce light flashed in San Ye's eyes, and he lifted the dagger to mark Yang Yiting's face.
