Shen Yi's comment made things a little awkward. Chu Yao cleared her throat and, pretending she hadn't heard him, smoothly changed the subject.
After dinner, the three of them emerged, heavily disguised.
The valet pulled Chu Yao's car around. Just as he handed her the keys, someone darted out from nowhere and rushed straight for her.
Before Chu Yao could react, someone grabbed her arm. "Yaoyao, Yaoyao..."
The person's voice was hoarse. Filthy hair obscured half their face, and a scar about three centimeters long was visible on the exposed cheek.
Chu Yao jumped in fright, but Shen Yi reacted in a flash. He stepped in front of her, yanked the person away, and yelled, "Security!"
The restaurant's security guards hurried over. Shen Yi shielded Chu Yao, holding her securely behind him while the guards dragged the assailant back a few steps.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
