Chapter 17 - 17 Bullying Her
Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Bullying Her
From Food City to the bus station, one had to pass through an old street, where at this time, other than the passing cars, there were hardly any people.
Halfway there, Su Meixi felt someone was following her—the person behind her wore slippers, making a scraping noise as they persistently followed closely.
At first, she dared not look back, but as the footsteps grew closer, she hurriedly turned around and saw Li Jiekai’s face, grinning sinisterly.
Her heart tightened, and she involuntarily gripped her backpack tighter, taking another look around.
There was no one else nearby, though several cars were parked nearby, all turned off.
Li Jiekai quickly ran up in front of Su Meixi, blocking her path, his demeanor menacing.
“Ah Xi, who would have thought I’d bump into you here? Feng City really is small.”
Su Meixi involuntarily took two steps back.
“What, what do you want following me?” she asked, both angry and scared.
“What do I want? What do you think?” Li Jiekai flipped his hair, cornering her against a nearby pillar, “Where’s your new flame, the one who beat me up last time? He beat me up so badly, I want to know all about him!”
“What do you want?” Su Meixi tried to stay calm.
“To know who he is, so I can get people to beat him up so badly he can’t even walk straight, see how you’ll still be with him then.”
“You can’t beat him.”
“I can’t beat him, but I can hire people. By the way, did you move in with him? Shameless, only broke up with your ex two months ago and already living with another guy. Why couldn’t you have chosen me back then? We’ve known each other since we were kids, your mom even said we’d be closer if we were together.”
As Li Jiekai spoke, he attempted to make a move on Su Meixi.
Su Meixi dodged and said, “You’re drunk, stop joking.”
At this moment, she still didn’t want to provoke him, for there was an alley nearby, and being dragged into it didn’t bear thinking about.
“I’m not joking.” Li Jiekai reached up and touched her chin, “Ah Xi, come with me, I’ll treat you well.”
“Impossible.”
“Will you come with me or not?”
“No.”
“I’ll ask you one more time, will you or won’t you?” Li Jiekai had now touched her face.
“Over my dead body!” Finally unable to bear it, Su Meixi spat in his face.
Li Jiekai touched the saliva on his face, smirked coldly, and then his expression turned vicious. He closed in on her, “You have two choices, first, take me to that man, second, spend a night with me, and I’ll let you both go.”
…
Not far away, Li Pingping and Han Ningzhen hid behind a car.
Li Pingping was a bit nervous, “Ningzhen, it looks like Su Meixi has run into a thug, should we go help her? After all, this is just too horrible.”
It’s a crime now.
Thinking of the embarrassment Su Meixi had caused her during the meal, Han Ningzhen gave a cold laugh, “Why bother with her? Let’s just watch the drama. Oh, and take out your phone, record a video. If she needs it, she can use this video as evidence in court later.”
Li Pingping hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone to secretly record.
…
Meanwhile, Su Meixi felt utterly humiliated by Li Jiekai’s words.
What did he take her for?
When Li Jiekai reached out to touch her again, she couldn’t help but raise her hand and slap him hard across the face.
“You’re hitting me?” Li Jiekai was enraged, “Alright then, since you refuse a toast and choose punishment, don’t blame me for what’s coming. I’ll let you taste what I’m really like.”
With that, he grabbed Su Meixi’s shoulders, attempting to drag her in front of him.
However, his action reminded Su Meixi of the self-defense techniques Gu Wei had taught her.
Having practiced just last night, it was as if her muscles remembered automatically—just as Li Jiekai grabbed her shoulders, she instinctively struck his arms with her elbows, and with a swift leg lift, she kicked Li Jiekai hard to the ground.
Li Jiekai, unexpectedly hit in the groin, was completely dazed and clutched at his lower body, howling in pain.
Su Meixi herself was shocked for a moment.
The trick Gu Wei taught was indeed effective!
She initially thought to run away, but then, thinking that Li Jiekai might still harass her in the future, she suddenly wanted to vent her anger.
While Li Jiekai was still down, she quickly moved to sit on his stomach, using the fighting technique Gu Wei taught her, raining down left and right hooks on Li Jiekai’s face fiercely.
“Sleep over for one night, is that it?”
“Spill the beans, is that it?”
“Watch me beat you till you’re searching for your teeth all over the ground.”
Li Jiekai was stunned for a long while after getting beaten up.
But after all, he was a man and much stronger than Su Meixi; it didn’t take him long to push her away.
Su Meixi was harshly pushed aside, her arm scraping against the rough concrete and grazing her skin, which caused a burning pain. Only then did she realize belatedly that she shouldn’t have kept fighting; she should have left earlier.
But in the past, it was always Li Jiekai who bullied her, which made her as terrified of him as if he were a monster.
Now that she had hit him and vented her anger, she felt less afraid of him.
She quickly stood up, gasping heavily while cautiously watching Li Jiekai.
Li Jiekai got up, first touching his chin. This woman hit really hard, first kicking his groin, then striking his face, even dislocating his jaw.
He reset his jaw until it clicked, a sound that, in the night, seemed particularly sinister and eerie.
Li Jiekai sneered then pulled out a switchblade from the rear pocket of his jeans.
“So, you can fight, huh? Didn’t see that coming. But can you block my knife?”
As a gangster, he always carried a knife. He raised it, advancing towards Su Meixi.
Su Meixi had no experience blocking knives, and Gu Wei had never taught her; seeing the knife, she couldn’t help but step back.
Li Jiekai sneered proudly, “Either go into the alley and take off your clothes like a good girl, or I’ll start by disfiguring your face and then slice your flesh off piece by piece…”
Su Meixi scoffed, “If you dare, then come at me!”
“Fine, I’ll start with your face!” Li Jiekai lunged at her with the knife!
Su Meixi didn’t know how to deal with the knife, instinctively wrapping her arms around her head and closing her eyes.
She thought she would feel the pain of the knife cutting into her arms, bleeding; if the cut was too deep, it might even reach the bone.
However, all she heard was a whoosh, then someone stood in front of her, and a “clang” resounded.
She opened her eyes to see—it was Gu Wei!
Li Jiekai’s knife had been kicked away by Gu Wei, seeing Gu Wei, Li Jiekai instinctively tried to flee, but Gu Wei quickly tripped him, then pounced on him, pulled out the belt from Li Jiekai’s jeans, and tied his hands behind his back.
The whole action was smooth, neat, and effortless.
Seeing Gu Wei, Su Meixi finally felt the fear catching up to her. In that moment, she couldn’t care less, and rushed to embrace him.
Tears uncontrollably surged, “Thank goodness you arrived, I was so scared just now!”
Gu Wei held her while patting her back, “No need to be scared, I’m here. Next time don’t try to be strong, just run when you have the upper hand, got it?”
…
Not far away, Han Ningzhen saw this outcome and was clearly both disappointed and furious.
“This guy couldn’t have come any other time—just had to show up now and spoil our show.”
Li Pingping looked at Han Ningzhen, feeling something was off.
Although Li Pingping was also jealous of Su Meixi and disliked her, she thought that if a girl was violated, it would leave a lifelong scar; it was best not to undergo such an experience.
Han Ningzhen actually wished for Su Meixi to be assaulted!
But then Li Pingping thought again, Su Meixi wasn’t exactly respectable, considering her many male patients; she probably had slept with quite a few of them.
She simply echoed, “Yeah, such a wasted opportunity for a great show.”
… @@novelbin@@
Gu Wei reported the incident, and Li Jiekai was taken to the police station.
As a victim, Su Meixi also had to go to make a statement.
This was Su Meixi’s first time in a police station; fortunately, Gu Wei was there with her.
Gu Wei borrowed some medication from a police officer to treat the abrasions on her arms.
Later, feeling her fingers ice cold, he took her hand.
Su Meixi didn’t refuse.
A female officer came over, needing to take Su Meixi for questioning.
What do you think?
