At this moment, Yu Bing was thinking of a solution. There was no one on the road at noon, and her house was the closest. However, at this distance, even if she shouted, Jiang Chun wouldn’t hear a word.

Just as she was feeling anxious, she saw Yao Nian stand in front of her and say righteously to the two masked robbers, “Who are you guys? How dare you guys try to break the law in broad daylight?!”

The tall and thin man laughed sinisterly as he said fiercely, “I’m the law. Pretty boy, move aside obediently. If you leave this woman behind, I can let you leave safely! Otherwise, I’ll definitely make you suffer today!”

When Yao Nian heard this, he snorted and said solemnly, “You shameless people! Even if I have to risk my life, I won’t let you touch my fiancée!”

With that, he clenched his fists and assumed a combat posture.

The tall and fat guy immediately let out a mocking laugh and stared at Yu Bing with a lecherous gaze. “Little beauty, wait for us to beat this pretty boy down first before we play with you.”

Yu Bing didn’t say anything and only looked at the two masked men coldly. From their figures and voices, she guessed that they were not villagers of the He Mountain Brigade.

At this moment, Yao Nian turned to look at Yu Bing and whispered, “I’ll hold these two back now. Hurry up and run home! Don’t worry about me. I’ll look for you at your house when I’m out of danger.”

When Yu Bing heard this, she already understood what was going on. It turned out that this was a show orchestrated by Yao Nian! The title of the show was ‘The Hero Saves The Damsel In Distress’!

Yu Bing was so certain because it was impossible for a selfish person like Yao Nian to sacrifice himself for others, let alone her.

Yao Nian didn’t know that Yu Bing had seen through his act before it was even finished. If Yao Nian was dealing with an innocent girl with insufficient social experience, this act definitely would have made her loyal to him. Unfortunately, Yu Bing was a little fox in sheep’s clothing. An old soul who had experienced his and Yu Yan’s schemes lived in this 18-year-old body.

Yu Bing pretended to be afraid and swallowed nervously. She said to Yao Nian, “Yao Nian, I’ll help you. There are two of them. If I stay here, you’ll have another helper.”

Yao Nian’s expression froze. Then, he said gently, “I just wang you to be safe. Their target is you. If you run away, they’ll just beat me up. It’ll be fine!”

The two masked robbers saw the two of them whispering and were wondering why things were different from what they had discussed. Why wasn’t the girl running away? Was she really going to fight?

Just as they were hesitating about whether or not to go forward, they heard the girl say, “We’re not afraid of you! Come at us if you have the guts!”

The two of them were idle hooligans from the outside village. Usually, they were just petty thieves that stole food and livestock. At most, they would threaten meek people to extort money.

To put it bluntly, they bullied the weak and feared the strong. When they encountered tough people, they didn’t dare to take the initiative to provoke them. Therefore, the two of them had not committed anything serious crimes so far.

Yao Nian had said that they only needed to scare her, so the two of them accepted this task. They didn’t want to fight. If they made a big deal out of it and were caught, they would be sentenced to labor reform. A few yuan wasn’t worth sacrificing their future for.

Just as they were hesitating, they saw Yao Nian’s meaningful glance. The two of them understood that Yao Nian wanted to do it real. The tall and fat man secretly asked the tall and thin man, “Bro, are we going to fight? If we don’t do it well, the other party might say we didn’t do a good job and refuse to pay. If we do, I’m afraid…”

The tall and thin man thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go! We waited here for half an hour in advance, but no one passed by. This place is very remote. We can let him run away after he shows off. It’s not worth it to be beaten up for such a small fee.”

The fat man nodded.

Hence, the two of them ran towards Yao Nian. Just as Yao Nian was about to move forward, he saw Yu Bing suddenly jump forward from the side. She took out a rolling pin from the sleeve of her long-sleeved shirt and hit one of them in the head!

Then, she threw another stone at another person’s face. Then, she turned around and ran. As she ran, she shouted, “Yao Nian, run!”

Seeing this, the veins on Yao Nian’s forehead twitched. However, since things had already reached this stage, he could only follow Yu Bing and run.

The masked thugs, who had been beaten up, were stunned and looked at each other. It was impossible to chase after them. The two of them decided to silently retreat into the forest and wait for Yao Nian to come and settle the bill.
