The old woman kowtowed again and again, pleading, "I beg you, anyone, please save my daughter."
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sound of her forehead striking the ground echoed through the warehouse—but no one stepped forward.
Even though the woman had saved them by killing the group of men, no one was willing to help. One reason was that they had no ability to offer real help. The other reason was their fear of Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan.

What if they wanted to kill the woman, too? And they helped her?
Wouldn't they just be inviting disaster onto themselves?
When the old couple thought they would lose their daughter, they saw the young couple walk over. She looked at them warily, but also hopefully.
"Comrade, please—save my daughter," the old woman pleaded as she kowtowed to them.
