When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 379 Danger
Amelie's hands clenched around the seat cushion.
"What do you want?" The man sitting across from her pulled out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.
"I thought you wanted to discuss business? Since you're here, let's negotiate before you go back" That rendered Amelie
speechless.
"I am the host here. I can't just let you leave empty-handed. We'll sign the contract, have a great meal, then give you a few local
specialties to bring home as souvenirs."
"Perfect!" The man held his hands out in an arrogant manner before cackling with the driver in front.
Their cackling made her go numb.
These men naturally were not good men.
The business they were talking about was definitely the deeds the detective no.vel.e.book agency told her about.
Acting terrified, Amelie silently bit her lips while linking her fingers on top of her knees.
At that moment, her entire body was trembling.
"You're not going to do anything illegal, are you?" she asked.
He guffawed.
When he saw how hard her shoulder was shaking, he nodded in satisfaction He had been worried he had selected a tough
target.
Who knew she would be so easy? Today's gig would be an easy job. He exchanged an ecstatic look with the driver.
They were not as wary now.
Thereafter, the driver rolled down the window. If it were a man, they would be worried it might be a trap.

However, this was just some demure woman whose legs were not as thick as their arm. She was definitely no match for them.
The driver's eyes menacingly scanned her curvy and slim body up and down before letting out a lustful whistle. He jutted his chin
out at his partner in an obvious signal of intention.
The man sitting in the back also noticed her beauty. He was so overwhelmed by lust that he had to gulp. His coarse throat rolled
up and down nonstop. He was rubbing his hands together from where they lay between his knees. He did not even bother to
hide his leer as he said, "Don't worry. We're all law-abiding young men."
Then, he cackled once more.
"T-That's good."
Amelie did her best to act weak, lowering her head and shrinking back. Her eyes kept examining her surroundings though, trying
to find a way out.
While the windows had been rolled down, it was only a tiny bit. Hence, she could not escape from it.
The car was in the middle of a highway.
Calling out for help would have no effect...
As she thought, she kept listening to the two men converse.
The men were speaking in the local dialect which she did not understand a word of.
However, the occasional laughter they broke out into was not hard to understand. They were talking about what to do with her.
They were likely after both her money and her body today.
Disgust flashed in her eyes as a murderous rage rose in her.
Just as the driver was about to drive into a smaller road, she quietly and silently pulled out an object from her bag and sprayed it
at the man in the back.
"Aah!"
The agonizing sensation of a stinging chemical in his eyes had the man immediately screaming while covering his eyes with his
hands.

Seeing that, the driver let out a curse and turned around to stop Amelie. She reached out and wrapped a tight hand around the
man’s throat as a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Then, she held a sharp but tiny knife at the man’s veins.
"Think carefully. Make one wrong move and I'll kill him."
The cowering victim had suddenly turned into a vicious, cold-blooded woman.
"The knife might be small, but it will have no problem slicing a vein." The driver was shocked.
The man had clearly sensed the blade against his skin as he stopped rubbing his eyes and went stiff.
After a few long moments, the driver said something in the local dialect. She smiled.
"Are you worried I won't actually do it?"
Then, without a single moment of hesitation, she sliced the blade across the man’s neck.
In an instant, the man screamed as blood poured out of him.
The driver went pale as well.
The fist that he had planned on swinging at her when she looked away hung in the air.
"Focus on the road," she reminded kindly.
He swiftly turned around and realized the car had been drifting to the side. They were about to crash into a car from the opposite
direction. He frantically spun the steering wheel but was still honked at in warning for his carelessness.
"If you don't want him to die, you'll stop in front of the supermarket up ahead." She maintained a tight grip around her hostage's
neck while gesturing at the building with her chin.
Up ahead was a bright supermarket sign standing among the green trees. It was an obvious landmark.
There would be a lot of people there, so it would be safer.
"You will leave once I get out. You won't attract anyone's attention, and I won't report you to the police."

She knew full well that if she did not reassure them, they might think they were better off dragging her to hell with them.
Amelie was still young; she did not want to die yet.
With his companion held hostage, the driver did not dare fool around. He slowly changed lanes and signaled to move into the
supermarket.
The car just so happened to stop at the strip of grass across from the supermarket entrance.
With her hand still clamped around the man’s back, she ordered the driver to open the door for her.She then ordered him to get
back into the driver's seat.
Once the driver was seated, she leaped out of the car as quickly as she could.She did not stop either.
Instead, she charged straight into the crowd.It was then that she saw a few men walking out from within the crowd.
They were all large, burly men with dark looks in their eyes.
Amelie paused.
In the blink of an eye, she noticed just whom they were focusing on.
It was her! Were they accomplices? She did not have time to think.
Four men were already charging at her.
They did not care that it was a crowded area.
With a gesture from the man in the front, the three other men fanned out to attack her from all sides.
They were fully intent on kidnapping her.
She swiftly smacked away the fist the man on her left had been aiming at her before dodging the attack from the man on her
right, then shefought the man right ahead of her.
All three of them were stunned, likely not expecting her to know how to fight.
However, they soon swarmed at her.She might be a good fighter, but the three men were no slouches themselves.

Their height and weight granted them a huge advantage, and they were great fighters.
After several rounds of fighting, she began to slow down.
It was clear her stamina could not keep up.
Once she let her guard, someone threw her over their shoulder, slamming her hard against the ground.
There were a lot of people walking around, and many of them saw the scene.
Though some people wanted to help as they couldn't just watch three men gang up on a tiny woman, the men all looked so
fierce that everyone knew they would not be easy to fight against.
Hence, no one was brave enough to interfere with this messy scene.
Someone even tried to call the police.
They had just unlocked their phone when they saw the man who had been watching the entire time reach out with their tattoo-
covered arm to show a black item as a threat.
Those people all went pale and quickly stuffed their phones into their pockets before disappearing into the crowd.
After the throw, Amelie felt as if her entire body had shattered.
She could barely even catch her breath.
It took her a long while before she snapped back to reality, and she immediately saw one of the men raise his big, heavy, spiked
shoe high to stomp on her chest.
It looked like he had put a lot of strength into the move.
If he hit her, not only would her bones break, but her organs would be crushed.
The pain made her slow to react.
While she wanted to dodge, it was too late for her to do anything.
It was then that something charged over as fast as lightning.

Amelie then heard a loud bang.
"Aah!" a man shrieked in agony.
The man who had planned to stomp on her chest was suddenly sent flying like a kite that had been cut loose before crashing
hard into the ground.
Everything happened so fast that it felt like she had only just blinked. By the time she knew what was going on, she saw the man
lying on the ground like a dead pig.
"Who dares to interfere?!" his companions shouted.
Then, she heard a series of bangs and crashes.
Amelie hurriedly caught her breath and climbed to her feet to find the remaining two men fighting with a tall, lanky figure.
That person was so quick and nimble that they were like a panther.
