Despite the two masked thugs' vicious threats, the woman refused to let go.
The two masked thugs were afraid of dragging this out. They worried the commotion would attract attention, and if someone else arrived, things would get complicated.
So, the taller masked thug steeled himself and viciously stabbed at the woman's heart with his small knife.
He had only given her a few light cuts with the knife before, hoping to scare her into letting go. He hadn't intended to kill her. This time, however, he was striking to kill.
"Stop!" Lin Li bellowed upon seeing the scene unfold.
Hearing Lin Li's shout, the two masked thugs froze. They turned toward the voice and saw a young man staring at them, his face filled with rage.
"Where did this idiot come from? Mind your own damn business. Piss off if you know what's good for you, or we'll kill you too," the shorter masked thug, who was yanking on the woman's backpack, snarled at Lin Li.
