But at this moment, just as Zhang Xinyi left, a sudden change occurred on the rooftop.
Wei Yumeng kicked the boss's knee fiercely, and as he recoiled in pain, she bolted, attempting to escape.
Several men in black scrambled to grab Wei Yumeng, pulling her into the light and pressing her back to prevent her escape.
Under the incandescent bulb, the cold white light illuminated the woman's beautiful face. Her long, butterfly-wing lashes were distinct, her eyes were captivating, and her cherry blossom-pink lips were naturally vibrant. A stubborn expression flickered across her face.
The boss was initially stunned by her beauty, his movements halting. The others then got a clear look at Wei Yumeng's stunning appearance, letting out appreciative gasps.
"It was too dark earlier, I couldn't see clearly. This woman is quite attractive!"
"I've never seen such a beautiful woman before!"
"Haven't had any fun in days. Boss, let's not kill her just yet!"
The group of men in black fervently said to their leader, their eyes lecherously appraising Wei Yumeng, lust filling their hearts.
"Alright! It's rare to encounter such a breathtaking beauty. Since she's going to die anyway, why not let the brothers have some fun first!" The boss pondered for a few seconds, then clapped his hands with a hearty laugh, making a new decision.
"Everything has an order, let the boss go first!" Several men in black stared at Wei Yumeng with dripping desire, emitting sinister chuckles.
The leader had the same intention. He looked at Wei Yumeng excitedly, threw his knife to the ground, rubbed his hands together, and reached out to grab her.
Wei Yumeng's eyebrows shot up, her eyes glinting with coldness. She let out a cold laugh, and with quick hands, grabbed the knife from the ground and swung it forcefully at the boss!
"Ah!" The boss let out a scream, rolling on the ground clutching his hand. He opened his palm and saw a bloody mess.
Downstairs at this very moment, Zhang Xinyi was startled by the familiar shout. She knew something had gone wrong upstairs and hurried downstairs, clutching her money tighter.
Suddenly, there was movement from downstairs. Mu Linjing had also arrived.
Damn it! Why did this person have to show up now, and why did she have to run into this?
Zhang Xinyi cursed inwardly, tightly hugging her bundle. She then sped away down another flight of stairs, desperately fleeing.
"Stop, don't run!" Mu Linjing noticed Zhang Xinyi preparing to flee and rushed upstairs in swift strides.
However, at that moment, a scream echoed from the rooftop!
Oh no, Yumeng was still up there!
Mu Linjing, thinking of Wei Yumeng's safety, glanced back deeply at Zhang Xinyi's retreating figure, then gave up and accelerated towards the rooftop.
The scene on the rooftop was chaotic. Wei Yumeng leaned against a pillar behind her, her beautiful, captivating eyes exceptionally bright in the darkness. Her hands gripped the knife tightly, blood still dripping from the blade, drop by drop.
"Boss! How is it?"
The surrounding men in black were shocked and quickly rushed to check on their leader.
"Just a cut on the hand. Hurry and capture this woman! I'll teach her a lesson today!"
The boss angrily shoved his subordinates away, pointing at Wei Yumeng and shouting in exasperation.
The men in black responded, encircling Wei Yumeng, their lewd laughter occasionally breaking the silence.
Wei Yumeng swung the knife wildly. One daring man in black rushed forward, intending to grab her hand, but was sent sprawling to the ground with a flying kick!
"Who, who dares to lay a hand on us!"
The other men in black were startled and quickly retreated, helping their injured comrade.
Mu Linjing descended from above, landing in front of Wei Yumeng. Her expression was solemn, and she adopted a stance facing the group of men in black.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past, and by the time she opened her eyes, Mu Linjing was standing before her!
"Linjing!"
A flicker of surprise flashed in Wei Yumeng's eyes. She grabbed Mu Linjing's clothes, finally feeling her presence as real.
"Yumeng, are you alright?" Mu Linjing asked with concern, her gaze fixed on the menacing men in black, showing no signs of letting her guard down.
Although she knew some martial arts, the number of opponents was… a bit much.
"I'm fine," Wei Yumeng shook her head, tightening her grip on the knife, her eyes warily scanning the group.
"Another beautiful woman arrives. Perfect, let's capture them both alive!" The boss, after bandaging his wound, pointed at the two women with unwavering determination. "Attack!"
The men in black roared, as if to boost their morale, and charged towards Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing.
Mu Linjing shielded Wei Yumeng behind her, her face stern. With rapid blows from both hands, she left the first men in black who rushed at her bruised and battered.
One of them, catching Mu Linjing off guard, brandished a knife and lunged at her.
"Linjing, be careful!" Wei Yumeng's eyes were filled with anxiety. She threw the knife in her hand at the man in black. Mu Linjing turned, hooked her right foot up, and delivered a powerful kick to the man's jaw!
There were many steel pipes left on the ground. Wei Yumeng picked up two and swung them at the men in black. Mu Linjing followed with a left hook and a right hook, quickly subduing several of them.
The fierce resistance from the two women enraged the group of men in black. They couldn't capture them, but they took quite a beating!
"Boss, since we were ordered to kill them, why don't we just finish them off? We're all so angry!" Several men in black climbed up from the ground, spitting fiercely and cursing viciously.
"It seems we won't get to enjoy them! Don't attract any attention and get yourselves into trouble! Let's finish it!"
The boss also saw the situation. The sudden appearance of a skilled woman here was definitely not a coincidence. What if she had called for help, or even reported them to the police…
Then they would be the ones in trouble!
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing's hearts sank. They exchanged a glance, both sensing an impending danger.
The enraged men in black began to fight with deadly intent, closing in on the two women, drawing out their gleaming knives that whistled in the wind.
"Die!"
With a shout, the men in black unceremoniously swung their knives at the two women. Mu Linjing raised a steel pipe, blocking their attacks. The clanging of metal against metal reverberated throughout the rooftop, making her tiger's mouth numb!
"Linjing!" Wei Yumeng's heart fluttered. She stood by, waving a steel pipe.
Mu Linjing quickly pulled Wei Yumeng behind her, narrowly dodging a thrusting knife from a man in black.
These men were desperate, and accustomed to killing and robbing. Even Mu Linjing was finding it difficult to fend them off.
The two women were pushed back step by step by the deadly attacks of the men in black. The night wind behind them grew stronger, ruffling their hair, and their feet touched the precarious edge.
"Linjing, don't retreat further, be careful!" Wei Yumeng quickly pulled Mu Linjing, who had almost stepped off the edge.
"You be careful too," Mu Linjing said, holding Wei Yumeng's hand.
"Stop struggling, you're both going to die today!" the men in black mocked, reaching out to push them both over!
