Nightmare Assault

Chapter 75: Friends

Three female guards with wide shoulders stood at the door. Their faces were cold. It was hard to tell how long they had been there already.

“Thieves…” The leading guard waved the black baton she was holding. She gritted her teeth from anger. They had seen the three guards before at Room 304 in Block C. They were the ones who caught Luo Yi.

Back then, Fatty laughed at Luo Yi, saying that he couldn’t outrun a few middle-aged women. He realised he was wrong. A few seconds later, he heard Jiang Cheng take in a deep breath and shout, “Fatty! Run!”

Fatty reacted to the order. He charged out the door. His large body gave him a lot of power. The charging Fatty was like a rolling tank.

But…

Facing Fatty, the two guards didn’t even move. The leading guard only put one foot out to move forward to block Fatty. Fatty slammed into her. The woman took half a step back. Her face didn’t even change. However, Fatty was sent flying back from the rebound. He tasted blood in his mouth. Fatty’s soul almost departed from this collision. It reminded him of his accident when he was riding a motorcycle. Fatty staggered a few steps before collapsing at the corner. Everything in his eyes had multiple copies. The female guards appeared to have grown several few more limbs.

He tried to turn his head because he was still worried about Jiang Cheng. He wanted to see if Jiang Cheng managed to escape. In his mind, he was weirdly confident in Jiang Cheng. This man definitely had a way to escape. Once he escaped, he would come back to save him. He was a man with a soft heart but a sharp tongue. Whenever they were in danger, he would… Fatty’s eyes watered from the firm bond he and Jiang Cheng shared.

“Doctor…” He called out softly.

The figure before his eyes flickered. He saw a familiar figure being surrounded by three guards. The figure did not panic and stood with his back straight. He removed the camera and then his jacket. As Fatty widened his eyes, thinking that Jiang Cheng was about to show his true power, he saw Jiang Cheng raise his hands. Then, Jiang Cheng went down on his knees. He occasionally pointed at Fatty, his mouth mumbling something,

“He stole the thing. He came up with the idea. I was merely his lookout.” Jiang Cheng knelt on the ground and sold Fatty out with great sincerity. “Big Sisters,” He patted his chest in the guarantee. “I can be your witness to send him to jail!”

Fatty almost spat out blood. His world turned black, and he fainted.

Through Jiang Cheng’s instructions, the guard found the lost files on Fatty.

“It looks like he is indeed innocent…” The leading guard looked down on Jiang Cheng. Her eyes bubbled with warmth. The man before her was quite good-looking, and he had a scholarly air.

“You should get up first. As for how to deal with this…” The woman hesitated before adding, “We’ll have to refer to the school admin.”

“I’m sorry for troubling Big Sisters.” Jiang Cheng’s eyes glinted with innocence. He stood up and wiped away the dust on his knees. His actions caused one of the women’s cheeks to flush. However, she quickly turned away because she was embarrassed. She was almost 40. How could she…

Just as she turned back, something unexpected happened. Jiang Cheng came close to her. He held her arm gingerly and massaged it gently.

“Big Sister,” Jiang Cheng raised his head. There were stars in his eyes. “Why is your arm injured?”

“It… It’s alright.” The woman pressed her lips. “The action was too sudden, and I accidentally…”

Jiang Cheng whipped his head back and huffed at the fainted Fatty, “This is all this fat man’s fault. How can he cause injury to Big Sister? How about… we throw him from this floor and avenge Big Sister?”

The guard was stunned. They were on the fifth floor. If they did that, Fatty would die. The unconscious Fatty convulsed.

“Before you throw him down, you should give him a few stabs.” Jiang Cheng’s expression became disgusting. “Aim it at his liver. That way, even if he survives the fall, he’ll be incapacitated for his life!”

“Never mind. It’s nothing serious.” Jiang Cheng’s suggestion shocked the guards. They initially wanted to interrogate them, but they persuaded Jiang Cheng not to harm Fatty instead. “You don’t look like a bad person, unlike this fat man…”

The leading guard said to broker peace. “Just let it be. He didn’t steal anything important. Just leave. Don’t do this again!”

“Are you going to let him go just like that?” Jiang Cheng insisted, “You should reconsider it…”

“It’s fine.” The leading guard became impatient. “If you don’t leave, then we’ll leave!” Then, she led the other two women and left. Based on their footsteps, they went downstairs. They left in such a hurry that it felt like they were the thieves. They were just the security guards. They worked there for the salary. Of course, they wouldn’t go as far as Jiang Cheng suggested. If they really injured someone, the school would not help them. If anything, the school would push them out to be the scapegoat. They were still clear-minded.

After the footsteps faded away, Jiang Cheng walked to Fatty’s side. Just as he was about to slap Fatty awake, there was a creak coming from behind him. It sounded like a door… opening. Behind him was… the files room!

Anything that came out of that place wouldn’t be as easy to deal with as the guards. Was it the ghost? Or the dead Luo Yi? Jiang Cheng broke out in a cold sweat. For the second time that day, he raised his hands slowly.

Regardless of who it was, Jiang Cheng couldn’t handle them alone. Plus, he was the one being ambushed.

The chill enveloped him. He could hear the other party’s heavy breathing. Gradually, a shadow appeared on the wall opposite Jiang Cheng.
