Sure enough, once the man saw how compliant Nicole appeared, he relaxed. He secured one of her hands to the window and asked lustfully, "Tell me, how do you usually play this game?"

“Sir, you should take off your pants first," Nicole suggested with a coy smile.

The man, thinking she was in the mood for some fun, began to unbutton his pants, visibly thrilled, oblivious to the fierce determination flashing in Nicole's eyes.

Slowly, Nicole positioned the stick in her hand, ready to strike a fatal blow.

Just as the man started to remove his underpants, Nicole tensed up, preparing to act.

At that very moment, the door burst open.

Before the man could react, a powerful kick sent him sprawling to the floor.

Nicole was momentarily stunned. At the sound of the man's cries, she realized the newcomer was Evelyn.

Evelyn, capable of flooring a man with a single kick, clearly had remarkable skills.

In an instant, Nicole decided on her next move. She quickly dropped the stick and discreetly stepped on it with her heel, hiding it while tears welled up in her eyes, feigning victimhood.

Evelyn, still seething, kicked the man again and berated him, “You fool! Can't you control yourself? If something happens to this chick, how will you collect the money? There are plenty of women in the red light district you could go to with money. Why must you mess with women like her?"

“Ouch, I... I was just playing around. I didn't actually intend to sleep with her!" the man protested weakly.

"Bah!" Evelyn spat on his face contemptuously. "Quit dreaming. Have you forgotten what happened to Alan after he slept with that kidnapped woman? Do you want to end up dead over a woman too?"

Nicole realized something serious had happened previously when their accomplice got involved with a kidnapped woman.

Evelyn was clearly more astute and stronger than the man, prompting Nicole to stay cautious.

Nicole recalled how Evelyn had seemed to help her call the police, but in reality, Evelyn had deceived her. Evelyn had dialed the accomplice's phone number instead of the police's to mislead her.

Evelyn's thoroughness and cunning were indeed terrifying.

The man clutched his aching leg and groaned, "I know. I know. I won't mess up like Alan did. That idiot couldn't even handle a woman and got himself killed by her. Luckily, we caught her before she could escape."

He then glanced at Nicole, his look served as a warning that any reckless actions on her part would not end well.

Nicole recoiled upon hearing this, her face filled with fear.
