Chapter 80: Do you have a bat or stick?
"Ah! Oh my god!" she screamed, bending down and covering her ears.
In less than a second, the place seemed to turn into a mafia battleground.
The smell of gunpowder filled the air, mixed with smoke and a foul stench. Qin Zhuzhu felt suffocated. Where is Sanya? What the hell is happening? She hoped Sanya wasn’t caught in the crossfire.
A hand rested on her shoulder, and she jumped in fear.
"Ah! Who’s there!?" She spun around quickly, assuming a fighting stance.
"Easy. You must be Ah Jing’s wife, hmm?" The man squatted down to look at her face.
"W-who are you?" Qin Zhuzhu didn’t dare to trust anyone at this moment.
"I’m Ah Jing’s best friend in the whole world. You can call me Ah Xi or Ruxi," the man said, his tone exaggerated.
She scanned him up and down. He wasn’t bad-looking—handsome, with a chiseled face and dashing features. He was even smiling at her so brightly that she thought he might be a little crazy.
Nonetheless, Qin Zhuzhu felt a glimmer of hope. She needed to save Sanya, but she didn’t know her location. Even if this guy was a fraud, she could use him to her advantage, right? Maybe he knew something about the situation.
"What’s going on over there?" She motioned with her chin.
