Chapter 253

Chu Yu's hand was seized, and with a forceful tug, she lost her balance and toppled backward, but landed right into someone's embrace.

Confronted with a sudden turn of events, she opened her mouth to scream but before she could make a sound, slightly cool fingers firmly covered her lips.

A robbery?

She struggled instinctively, only to find herself firmly restrained. The other person released her wrist and, in the next instant, wrapped an arm around her waist at lightning speed, also securing both of her arms within his embrace.

The surprising strength pressing on her waist and arms caused her pain, and Chu Yu was both panicked and regretful. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have separated from Amman. In just a short moment, she didn't expect to encounter a highwayman.
