"A woman being forcibly abducted in broad daylight!" This shout instantly stirred up the street. Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. A simply dressed young girl was struggling against several men who appeared to be servants. Her eyes were filled with terror and anger, her hair disheveled and falling across her face. The leader of the servants, looking impatient, said, "Oh, young lady, stop struggling. Coming with us will only benefit you." He tightened his grip. The girl's arms ached, but she clung tightly to a nearby pillar. The surrounding people gathered, but most dared not speak out, only whispering amongst themselves. Just then, a magnificent sedan chair slowly came to a stop nearby. A woman in splendid palace attire stepped out, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes radiating authority. "Such audacity in broad daylight! What kind of decorum is this!" "The woman said coldly. Seeing a person of importance arrive, the servants became slightly more subdued, but the head servant still stubbornly insisted, "This is someone our young master wants; others should mind their own business." The woman sneered, "Such arrogance! I'd like to see which young master is so audacious." With that, she gestured for her attendant to inquire about the situation. A moment later, the attendant returned and whispered a few words in her ear. A flicker of surprise crossed the woman's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Hmph, so it's him. Today I'll definitely intervene." "Oh, young lady, come with us, and we'll guarantee you endless wealth and luxury. Don't be ungrateful!" "As he spoke, he increased the pressure on her hands. At this moment, a young man emerged from the crowd. With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he wore a moon-white robe with a black ribbon tied around his waist. He walked steadily to the girl's side, his gaze coldly fixed on the servants. "In broad daylight, how are you any different from bandits?" The head servant looked at the young man disdainfully. "Where did this brat come from, daring to interfere in our young master's affairs?" He waved his hand, signaling the other servants to attack. The young man dodged the attack skillfully, and then quickly defeated the servants. Seeing the situation was turning against him, the head servant hurriedly said, "You wait, our young master will not let you get away with this." With that, he led his men away in a sorry state. The girl, with tears in her eyes, looked gratefully at the young man and the woman in palace attire. "Thank you both for saving my life." The woman in palace attire smiled and helped the girl up. "No need for formalities. There should be justice in this world." Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and a group of people rode in. Leading them was a young nobleman, dressed in luxurious clothes, his eyes gleaming with arrogance. He reined in his horse, glaring at them, "Who has ruined my plans?" A woman in palace attire stepped forward, coldly saying, "It was me. I'll protect this woman today." The nobleman sized her up, then sneered, "So you're a noblewoman from the palace. But I won't let this go." A new conflict seemed about to erupt. A man in a moon-white robe, with an extraordinary air, shouted, "Stop! How dare you be so insolent in broad daylight!" Seeing someone step forward, the servants stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes to the nobleman. The head servant scoffed, "Who are you? Mind your own business!"
