Chapter 351
J looked up with difficulty.
A middle-aged woman had opened the car door. She was wearing a red down jacket and a white
knitted scarf. She looked very… ordinary.
“Oh, you’re tied up!” The woman spoke with a strong Seacisco ent. As she spoke, she immediately
helped J up, untied the rope around her wrists, and ripped the tape off her mouth. “Get out of the
car quickly. You’ve run into some bad people.”
J mbered out of the car as quickly as she could. Her lips were chapped and her hair was a
mess.
After helping J out, the woman hurried to pick up all the thumbtacks on the ground. She grumbled,
“How troublesome! I have to pick them all up as soon as possible, lest they puncture the tires of other
cars.”
Still in a state of shock, J looked around in a daze. There were many carsing and going.
Perhaps this ce was near the highway, so there weren’t that many pedestrians.
When she came back to her senses, she helped the woman pick up the remaining thumbtacks and
handed them to her. She thanked the woman and asked incredulously, “Did you break their tires to
save me?”
The woman carefully tucked the thumbtacks into her pocket and said with a kind smile, “It’s not a big
deal. I just happened to be in the area, buying some groceries. When I saw that you were shoved into a
car by two men, I knew I had to help. My family used to run a Boxing Gym, so I know somebat
skills. I hurried to buy these thumbtacks from a hardware store and nted them here to burst their
tires. There are many human traffickers in the area. You should be more careful.”
J smiled at her bitterly. She didn’t expect Tyler to be so cruel andwless.
The middle-aged woman shrugged and said, “Anyway, I’ve got to go now. You’d better leave here, too.
Go somewhere safe. Those human traffickers mighte back soon. Maybe they’ll bring
reinforcements.”
“What should I do? Tyler’s a bad guy. I can’t let him get away with this!” J red at the man who
was lying unconscious on the ground. She wanted to stay and make sure he got what he deserved, but
she was also afraid.
“Don’t worry. I’ll call the police. You’d better leave now, young girl. I know somebat skills. They
can’t hurt me.” The woman’s tone was very calm. She pointed down the road and said, “There’s a
shopping mall up ahead. There are many people there. No matter how bold these human traffickers
are, they won’t dare to strike there.”
The woman in front of J was tall, strong, and powerful. She was clearly not weak and looked like
she could take care of herself. So J made up her mind. “Be careful.”
After saying goodbye, she ran down the side of the road.
The second J turned around and left, the kind smile on the woman’s face disappeared in the blink
of an eye.
She kicked Tyler’s face hard with her foot, and then she tapped the Bluetooth ear bud in her ear to call
Ethan. “Boss, J’s safe now. Don’t worry.”
Laney was still in hospital, so Ethan had hired an older but experienced female bodyguard from
Shadow. She was to protect J in the interim.

“Good. I’ll send someone there now. Where are the two human traffickers?” Ethan asked coldly.
“They’re running northwest. There’s nothing but orchards in that direction, and it’s snowing tonight. The
temperature will drop below zero. They won’t make it very far. We can catch them before night falls.”
Hearing that, Ethan immediately sent someone to take Tyler away, while simultaneously ordering his
men to chase after the two remaining human traffickers.

After running for what seemed like forever, J finally arrived at a shopping mall packed with people.
By then, she was panting heavily and sweating despite the cold weather.
As soon as she made it safely inside the mall, she took out her phone and called Ethan.
As soon as he got off the phone with the female bodyguard, Ethan had immediately set off for J.
That was when she called him.
“You’re safe now. Find a cafe and sit down. I’ll be there soon.”
