Chapter 155
When the voice traveled into Stella’s ear, it sounded as if it came from a distance; it was indistinct and
surreal.
Stella forced out a thank you and reached out to grab her phone. Just as she stepped forward, her knees
gave out. She could no longer stand.
Someone grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into their arms.
Stella heard the warning bells in her head blared, enveloped in a person’s unfamiliar scent. She
struggled with all her might, but her limbs had gone weak; her movements seemed feeble as if she were
playing around.
Stella was dragged out in the person’s arms. One of the attendants noticed something amiss and asked
if they needed help.
Just as Stella was about to call out for help, the hand on her shoulder promptly tightened on her neck. In
an instant, she felt a suffocating feeling and could not make a sound.
“It’s alright; she’s my girlfriend. She had too much to drink and is upset with me,” one of them explained.
Then, another person said, “I’m so done with you two. You two had such a huge argument. Now I even
have to accompany you to look for her this late at night! Let’s hurry up and leave. I’ve got something to
do later!”
go
“Give John and the others a call and tell them we found her. Then, ask them to home.”
When the attendant saw how natural their conversation sounded, they did not ask any more questions.
After all, these kinds of situations were way too common at bars.
As soon as the attendant left, one of the men placed a jacket over Stella’s head.
After the two dragged Stella out of the bar, the man with his hand on her neck released his grip. She
could finally catch her breath.
“We almost got caught!” one of them spoke just as they exited the bar.

“Stop wasting time and call a cab.”
“I did; it’ll be here soon. Let me go buy something good first,” the person said as he laughed. sleazily.
“Get me a few of those pills.”
“Understood!”
Hearing the two’s foul conversation, Stella paled. Since she was still very conscious, she could hear their
entire conversation.
‘I’m sure I was drugged. It must have been that half glass of lemon water I drank after I took the phone
call. They secretly drugged it while I had gone outside. I never expected case examples on crime TV
programs to happen to me. It obviously isn’t these two’s first time committing such a crime; they’re really
experienced and worked together to cover for each
other. It won’t end well for me if I end up in their hands. I can’t stand by idly!’ she thought.
Stella forcibly bit down on her lip to regain her sense. The pain, mingled with the taste of blood, sobered
her up a little.
While the man was on the phone with the cab driver, Stella charged up her strength and bit the man’s
arm. The man instantly flung her away in pain.
Stella staggered and fell onto the ground.
However, she could not feel any pain at all. She struggled to get up and quickly stumbled away. “F*ck!
You b*tch!”
The man turned red in anger and ran after her. He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back.
Stella struggled with all she had, and her actions quickly caught the attention of the passersby. The man
hugged her waist and smiled apologetically, “Honey, I was wrong. So cut it out, and let’s go home. I’ll
listen to everything you say in the future, okay?”
“I don’t know him!”
Stella wanted to shout. However, her voice was as soft as a whisper due to the effects of the drug.
Her voice was quickly drowned out by the man’s, “Honey, you can’t say such a thing no matter how
angry you are. It’s just a bag. I’ll buy it for you, alright?”
Then, he said to the crowd surrounding them, “This is my wife. The two of us just got married last year. I
have a photo of our marriage certificate on my phone.
Then, he produced a photo of a marriage certificate on his phone, and the woman in the photo was
Stella. The iron-clad evidence of a marriage certificate instantly cleared everyone’s doubt. ‘Since it’s
someone else’s family affairs, we better not intervene,’ thought the bystanders. Stella was terrified,
“That’s not true; he’s not my husband. My husband- Mmph!”
The man covered her mouth before she could finish her sentence.
“Honey, could you please stop it?”
The man had sprayed some type of drug on his palm, so there was a weird scent. When Stella smelled
it, her head instantly felt heavy; even her struggle became significantly weaker.
The man pulled her into his arms and smiled apologetically at the crowd, “Sorry about that, everyone.”
One of the girls felt something amiss. She stopped them.
“This lady doesn’t seem quite conscious. We should wait for her to regain consciousness and not only
take your word for it. Otherwise, we’ll call the cops and let them handle it.”
When the man heard about calling the cops, a harsh glint flashed across his eyes. He looked upset and
said, “What did you mean by that? Would I hurt my own wife? Why would an arguing husband and wife
go to the police station? To make a joke out of ourselves?”
“Why would going to the police station make you a joke? She’s your wife, and she also has human
rights…”
The girl wanted to continue arguing. However, her friend beside her was a little worried seeing how the
man was acting. The friend quickly advised the girl not to meddle in other people’s
business
“Human rights, human rights. You college students go around causing gender dichotomy and making a
mess. My wife keeps on arguing with me because she saw your discourse!”
The man grew more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. He seemed like he had no intentions. of giving
up.
The girl had turned red in anger. After all, she was still a green college student.

Just as the crowd was about to disperse, genuinely thinking it was a family affair, someone walked
through the crowd and grabbed the man by the back of his neck. Then, the person flung the man aside
and pulled Stella into his arms.
“Who the fuck are you?” the man cursed.
He continued, “Let go of my wife!”
Stella was about to lose consciousness. However, she forced herself to open her eyes and vaguely saw
Keegan’s silhouette. Tears welled up in her eyes and trickled down her face.
Her tears seemed to trickle into Keegan’s heart. He pursed his lips and wiped away a tear from the
corner of her eyes. Then, he lifted his head and said to the girl who spoke just now, “Help me take care
of her for a moment.”
“I’m fucking talking to you!”
The man shouted as he reached out to grab Keegan’s collar. However, he was grabbed on the wrist
before he could.
Vermont smiled sinisterly, “I’ve been waiting for days; I finally caught you, scum. You motherfucker! Who
gave you the fucking guts to mess on my turf?”
The man had a panicked look in his eyes. Regardless, he continued to act tough, “Who are you? I don’t
know what you’re talking about. Let go of me, or I’ll call the co-
co-Argh!”
Before the man could finish his sentence, his arm was twisted to his back. He let out an agonizing
scream.
“Let her go.”
Stella vaguely heard Keegan say.
She wanted to open her eyes and see what Keegan was doing. However, the effect of the drug was too
strong. After fighting the drug’s effects for a while, she could not help but finally fall into darkness.
Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear Keegan say something important.
