    Chapter 2108 Ambush


    When they were done with the meal, it was almost time for Cindy to get to work. She cleared the


    containers and tied up the trash bag before making her way downstairs.


    She had only just walked over to themunal dumpster when she saw the figure hidden among the


    decorative greenery. As it turned out, the security guards did not manage to get rid of him at all, nor did


    they prevent him from trespassing the neighborhood.


    The man seemed to recognize Cindy, for he rushed out immediately and demanded, "You left on your


    own? Where are the both of them? Why are they hiding up in the apartment like cowards? Do they not


    have the guts toe out of hiding?"


    Cindy was not the least bit frightened of him. It was broad daylight, and the man wasn''t the sharpest


    tool in the shed, so she didn''t think he was capable of causing any real trouble.

    She frowned as she stood in ce. "What do you want? I''m warning you—if you keep bothering us like


    this, we''ll have to call the police on you. Things will be much harder for you once the police take you


    away."


    The man must either be really stupid or really angry because her warning fell upon deaf ears. He


    glowered at her with wide eyes and snapped, "Ask them toe down here at once! What''s the deal


    with them hiding up there? I''m just asking for fifty million, but that is negotiable. How much are they


    willing to give?"


    She was rendered speechless at this point. He must be a single-cell organism, and I don''t think


    evolution has hit him yet. He waspletely oblivious to his own predicament, but she didn''t have the


    time or the patience to spell it out for him. As things were, she was going to bete for work.


    She turned and headed for the shortcut as she said, "You''d better leave now if you know what''s good


    for you. Your ruckus earlier is making headlines as we speak, and if somebody in the neighborhood


    sees you, they''ll call security for sure."


    It went without saying that the man refused to let her leave. He strode up to her and grabbed her by the


    arm while seething, "Get both mother and son toe down and talk to me face to face! He''s a grown


    man, but he''s hiding up there with his mommy to avoid responsibilities! What the hell is that about?"


    Cindy sighed in exasperation, and a somber look passed over her face. She raised her voice as she


    demanded, "What are you doing? Let me go! If you carry on like this, I''ll certainly cry for help. Let go of


    me!"


    However, the man waspletely beside himself with rage and he did not pay attention to what she


    was saying. He tightened his grip on her and barked, "Give them a call right now and ask them toe


    down here!"


    She didn''t waste time and hollered, "Help! Somebody, help! A pervert is attacking me in broad


    daylight!"


    While there weren''t a lot of residents in the neighborhood during the day, there were still a couple of


    middle-aged and senior citizens walking around. Upon hearing her screams, some of them were


    beginning to make their way over to her.


    The man who lived in the unit next to them happened to walk out at that moment. He wasn''t particrly


    young, but he wasn''t old either. When he saw Cindy struggling and crying out for help, he hurried over.


    "Hey, what the hell is wrong with you? What are you doing? Let thedy go! What are you holding onto


    her for?"


    The man who was holding Cindy captive swatted an arm at the younger man irritably. "This doesn''t


    concern you at all! Go back to where you came from and stop butting into my business, you nosy


    prick!"


    This did not sit right with the younger man, so he walked up to confront him as he said, "You''re a grown


    man picking on a youngdy! What the hell do you think you''re doing?"


    Both of them began to gesture at one another, and it looked like a brawl was about to break out.


    Cindy seized the opportunity to pull away from the man. Then, she lifted her leg and kicked him in the


    shin with all the force she could summon. She had initially been aiming for his crotch, but she was


    worried that she might cripple him by ident and be liable to some grievous crime. If that were


    to happen, she would have a hard time clearing her own name.


    More importantly, the man had proven himself to be shameless. If she hurt him badly or crippled him,


    he might demand an even more outrageouspensation.


    Presently, the man cried out in pain as he doubled over and pped his hands over his knee.


    Cindy backed away quickly, but before she could say anything, the main door to the other unit swung


    open while Ian came running out.


    He had a grave look on his face, and without even taking in his surroundings, he barreled toward the


    man and grabbed him by the cor as he snapped, "What the hell did you do, huh? What did you do to


    her?!"


    Since she was afraid that Ian would make a scene, Cindy quickly tugged on his arm and said, "Hey,


    nothing happened. Everything''s fine now. This gentleman over here helped me out of a tight spot."
