Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Whether You Live or Die is Up to Your Luck

Taking advantage of the man’s unguarded moment, Yunyi struck him from behind with a knife.

As the man turned around, she delivered another slice to his waist. Then she shouted to the man previously pursued by these attackers, "Quick, run!"

The man clearly hadn’t expected Yunyi to be so formidable, not only saving herself but also coming to his aid.

But he wasn’t the selfish sort to abandon his rescuer and flee alone.

Enduring the intense pain in his arm, he drew a short knife from the side of his leather boot and lunged at the leader who was about to strike Yunyi.

Now attacked from front and back, the leader kicked at the knife in the man’s hand, while Yunyi seized the opportunity to land another cut. As she withdrew her knife, she darted to the opposite side.

She grabbed the man she had rescued, "Don’t just stand there, let’s go!"

Just behind them was an alley, and without a second thought, Yunyi pulled him and dashed into it.

They had only run a few dozen meters before the remaining pursuers were hot on their heels. Yunyi grew anxious. Being caught by these people today could lead to endless trouble. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The pursuers were relentless. As Yunyi rounded a bend in the alley, she inadvertently spotted a gap diagonally ahead, one that had been left between two houses during their construction.

A thought sparked in her mind, and before the injured man could react, she shoved him into the gap. "I really don’t know who you’ve offended," she said, "but now I’m dragged into your mess."

She pushed him further inside briskly. "This is as far as I can help you. Whether you live or die is now up to your luck."

As their pursuers were about to turn the corner, Yunyi took off running. By the time they saw her, she had already turned another corner.

Due to the distance and the darkness in the alley, the pursuers couldn’t clearly see how many people had turned the corner ahead.
