When Jessica and Terry returned to the car, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Terry drove on their way back. Jessica didn't sleep well recently. She fell asleep right after getting into the car.
Only when the car suddenly stopped with a bang did Jessica wake up.
Jessica opened her eyes and looked at Terry, still in a haze. "What's wrong? A shunt?"
"No biggie. Stay in the car."
As he spoke, Terry had already unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
As Terry opened the car door, some cold air blew in, which made Jessica sober up at once.
She looked at the two men who got out of the car ahead. The driver was obviously legless. He walked up to Terry and tried to push Terry. But Terry dodged him.
The driver spoke loudly. "Are you blind? Do you even know how to drive? I want indemnity! You are not going anywhere before giving me 10 thousand dollars."
As the man spoke, he pulled out an iron rod from the trunk and placed one end of it on Terry's shoulder. "Hurry up! Stop dawdling and take out the money!"
Jessica frowned and took out her phone to call the police.
At this time, another three men came down from the back seat of the car ahead and surrounded Terry.
Terry was forced to the side of the car, cornered. Jessica had just dialed the number when the windscreen broke.
"What are you doing with your phone? Get out of the car! Now!"
The man took the iron rod and walked directly to the door at Jessica's side. Terry frowned. "You want money? Sure, you can have the money."
However, the man changed his mind when he saw how beautiful Jessica was. He said, "10 thousand dollars? Nah, I don't want the money anymore. Tell your chick to get out, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
His companion pulled him. "Come on, let's take the money and run. Don't cause any trouble!"
"Is it about the money now? That bitch wants to call the police. No, get her out of the car! She wanted to call the damn police. I'll have to teach her a lesson! Or my name is not Billy!"
Terry looked back at Jessica. "Don't get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Billy smashed the window with his iron rod.
This was the first time Jessica had met such a ruffian.
She directly kicked the door open and got out of the car. As soon as she got out, Terry pulled her behind him. "Hast du die Polizei gerufen? (Did you call the police?)"
He lowered his voice, asking Jessica in German whether she had called the police.
Jessica replied in German, too, "Leider nicht. (I didn't.)" She didn't have the time to.
Terry did not panic. He smiled and said, "Okay, then protect yourself well. Do you know what I mean?"
Billy and the others didn't understand what they were saying, so Billy impatiently knocked on the front of the car with his iron rod. "What are you two talking about? Give me your damn phone!"
Jessica pointed to the car. "It's inside."
Billy had someone go in and fetch Jessica's phone. Seeing that Jessica hadn't called the police yet, the five guys acted even more boldly.
The five ruffians smelt of alcohol. Jessica knew that they were too drunk to reason with.
There were quite a few cars passing by. But the passers-by only thought that it was just a common car crash. None of them stopped to interfere.
Billy only saw Jessica through the window just now and didn't see her clearly. He only assumed that she was a beautiful woman. Now, Jessica got out of the car. Under the streetlights, Billy could see her delicate facial features and her good figure.
He licked the corner of his mouth. "Well, your girl looks pretty good! If you let your girlfriend have dinner with me, we won't need you to compensate us."
Terry said indifferently, "I'll compensate you with ten thousand dollars."
"No, we don't want money today. We want your girlfriend to dine with us!"
Jessica didn't say anything because Terry was standing in front of her. When Billy reached out to pull her, Terry immediately kicked him away.
That was how the fight got started. Terry made fast moves. He took care of the guys within a few minutes. They soon fell to the ground.
But Jessica felt that Terry had not used his full strength.
When the police arrived, Terry was pointing at Billy with the iron rod.
Hearing the siren, Jessica rushed over and pulled Terry over. "Terry."
Hearing her voice, Terry put down the iron rod.
He threw the iron rod on the ground and took off his coat, putting it on Jessica's shoulders. "It's cold at night. Don't catch a cold."
Jessica suddenly thought of the scene many years ago when Lucas saved her.
However, as the thought flashed by, the police arrived. The five ruffians on the ground were all pulled up by the police. Two officers walked up to Jessica and Terry. "What are your names? What's going on?"
