"Helen!"
From where they stood, Nanzhi and Lin Weihao saw Helen Wu surrounded by a group of armed men.
Cho Jin was chasing behind them, calling out to Helen Wu. His pace was slow because of his injuries. "Helen! Don't go with them! Don't leave me behind!"
Helen Wu turned around and merely glanced at Cho Jin, who now seemed like a useless spare tire.
From where they stood, Nanzhi and Lin Weihao could clearly hear her words.
"Officers, I don't know him. He's been following me ever since he found out I have a water-based ability! He wanted to force me to produce water for him, and when I refused, he beat me! Look at my wounds, officers! They were caused by him! Hu hu... Please... I don't want to go with him! Can you help me?"
Half of Helen's face was swollen, and it looked ugly as she tried to act. But because her ability was valued, the officers didn't hesitate to step in and help her.
