After quickly finishing in the restroom, I turned on the faucet to mask the sounds I was about to make. I pulled the bucket used for the mop beneath the window and tried to stand on it. Thankfully, I was tall enough to reach! 0
 
“Hurry up! What are you doing in there?” The driver impatiently shouted from outside the door. 0
 
“I’ll be right out! Just a moment!” I hurriedly replied, but before I could finish my sentence, the restroom door was suddenly flung open, and the driver appeared at the entrance! 0
 
When he saw me standing on the bucket, gripping the window frame with both hands, his eyes filled with furious madness as he rushed over and grabbed me! 0
 
I fell hard, my knees crashing against the floor, a sharp pain shooting through me. But I couldn’t care less about that; I screamed in terror and struggled as he covered my mouth with his hand! 0
 
At that moment, a sharp voice rang out from the doorway: “Stop! What are you doing!” 0
 
Both the driver and I turned in surprise towards the entrance. The restroom was dimly lit, but the doorway was bright, revealing a cleaning lady standing in the light, holding a broom. 0
 
In the next second, I mustered all my strength to push the driver away and cried out desperately, “Ma’am, help me! This man is trying to kidnap me! Please help!” 0
 
The cleaning lady’s expression changed instantly; without hesitation, she chose to believe me and charged forward with her broom raised! 0
 
The driver instinctively released me in shock and raised his hand to block the incoming broom! 0
 
Seizing the opportunity, the cleaning lady pulled me behind her and held the broom horizontally in front of us as she slowly backed out of the restroom! 0
 
The driver had now lost all reason; his eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead. He drew a dagger from his waist, gripping it tightly as he approached us slowly, his gaze filled with ferocity and determination. 0
 
“Calm down! Put down the knife! What’s troubling you? Just talk to me…” The cleaning lady nervously watched this crazed man while trying to communicate with him as she continued to back away. 0
 
He sneered coldly, “Talk to you? What do you want me to say?! It’s because of you people that I have no way out!” 0
 
I hid behind the cleaning lady, crying out, “Sir, please don’t do this! I’m begging you—put down the knife!” 0
 
But he wouldn’t listen to anything anymore; like a wild beast out of control, he roared, “You all deserve to die! All of you!” 0
 
Suddenly, a siren blared from a distance! 0
 
Hearing the siren, the cleaning lady’s face changed dramatically. She pushed me forcefully and shouted, “Run! Quick, run!” 0
 
I didn’t react immediately but instinctively turned to flee. However, just as I turned around, the driver lunged at me; with a flash of steel, the cleaning lady’s body jolted violently! 0
 
“No! Ma’am! Don’t!” I screamed in terror as I watched that dagger plunge deep into her chest, blood instantly soaking her clothes. 0
 
 
Auntie trembled as she knelt on the ground, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused. Until her last moment, she was still saying, "Run... child, run..." 0
 
"Auntie! Ah..." I tightly embraced her still warm body, crying out in anguish. 0
 
I had never imagined that a stranger would be willing to sacrifice her life to protect me. I hadn’t even had the chance to truly know her; I didn’t even know her name. 0
