Chapter 232: Chapter 212 Trouble
Liu Wentian was indeed a bit disappointed by the reactions of the people on the bus, but he wasn’t much surprised; he had anticipated this outcome a long time ago.
He had refrained from taking action just yet because he wanted Jade to see the true colors of these people.
Jade seemed like a simple and naïve girl. Witnessing this scene, though harsh, was necessary for her to gain a broader understanding of society.
Otherwise, if she ran into this kind of situation again and spoke out rashly, she would be in trouble.
Now that the objective was achieved, there was naturally no reason to hold back any longer.
Seeing that Liu Wentian finally spoke up, Jade was not afraid; a very happy smile appeared on her face. Then, she saw a middle-aged man wielding a knife at Liu Wentian, which frightened her into screaming before immediately stepping in front of him.
Liu Wentian was startled by her reaction and quickly pulled her away; with a “whoosh”, Jade’s suit was slashed, creating a cut but not injuring her.
With a chilling gaze, Liu Wentian hugged Jade. Squeezing his hand, there was a crisp snap as the hand of the middle-aged man he grabbed broke.
“Ah!!”
No sooner had the middle-aged man begun to wail when, in a flash, the knife in his hand was thrust into his thigh, causing him immense pain and making him scream again!
The blood flowed from his thigh as Liu Wentian kicked him, sending him flying and crashing into a young man behind him, knocking him to the ground!!
All this happened in the blink of an eye; the crowd only saw the middle-aged man attempting to stab the young man, then the woman moving to shield him but being pulled away. In the next instant, the assailant was kicked to the rear of the bus, directly landing atop the fierce young man on the ground!!
By the time they saw the middle-aged man’s broken arm and the knife sticking out of his thigh, they were all frightened and looked at Liu Wentian in horror.
No one expected that this seemingly unremarkable young man would have such formidable skills, and that his actions would be so ruthless!!
Thinking about his mocking gaze towards them earlier, everyone felt a sense of shame.
Many had been suppressing their anger, intimidated by the young man with the knife. Once they saw the youth struggled under the middle-aged man on the ground, they pounced on him and began to beat him furiously!!
“Damn you, stealing our stuff! I’ll kick you to death!!”
“Bastard! Trying to rob! Harassing women!!”
“Lock these guys up, send them to Jing Ju! Damn scum!!”
“…”
The scene was chaotic as the two thieves got beaten and began howling pitifully.
At this moment, a suit-wearing middle-aged man who had his wallet stolen hurried forward and tried to retrieve his wallet from the young man’s clothing. However, his hand was grabbed by someone!!
“You… what are you doing!!”
Seeing that it was Liu Wentian who grabbed his hand, the middle-aged man began to feel scared, but seeing Liu Wentian pull out the wallet that was originally his, he hurriedly said, “That’s my wallet, give it back to me quickly!!”
“Is it yours?” Liu Wentian gave a cold sneer, finding this middle-aged man particularly loathsome. It was bad enough that he refused to identify the thieves at the beginning, but he even tried to implicate Jade, completely turning the tables!!
“Weren’t you saying this wallet wasn’t yours? How come now it’s yours again?” Liu Wentian said icily.
The middle-aged man was at a loss for words, but knowing Liu Wentian was not a criminal, he was somewhat afraid of Liu Wentian’s skills but not as scared as before. He quickly said, “I got it wrong before; this wallet is mine, give it back to me quickly!!”
“Give it back to you?”
At this point, the bus driver had already stopped the bus, probably having alerted the police, and Jing Ju was on the way.
Liu Wentian, holding onto Jade, got off the bus and said to the middle-aged man with a smile, “If you dare, come with me, and I’ll return your wallet to you!!”
The other passengers also witnessed Liu Wentian’s actions, but said nothing, clearly disgusted by the middle-aged man’s earlier deceitful behavior.
The middle-aged man thought Liu Wentian planned to take him somewhere deserted to beat him up; he didn’t dare to get off the bus, and he watched as Liu Wentian and Jade disappeared from sight, his face turning extremely unsightly.
At this moment, where they got off was not far from “Natural Residence.”
Liu Wentian took the money out of the wallet and handed it to an old lady picking through trash nearby, then he tossed the wallet, turned to Jade with a smile, and said, “Let’s go, we’ll buy some clothes.”@@novelbin@@
“Buy clothes?” Jade was puzzled—why all of a sudden they were going to buy clothes.
Liu Wentian pointed at her suit. Jade looked down and realized her suit jacket had been slashed open, rendering it completely ruined.
Jade, a bit embarrassed, said, “No need to go—we can just head home and I’ll change.”
“After dinner, there won’t be time for you to go home and change. Come on, there seems to be a clothing store up ahead.”
Up ahead was a large shopping plaza, and from afar, Liu Wentian could see various women’s fashion displayed behind glass windows, likely all high-end goods.
Seeing Liu Wentian insist, Jade didn’t object; she was happy about his considerate nature.
However, when Jade saw the various brand stores inside the shopping plaza, she hesitated. These were top international brands like LV, Chanel, Hermes, Prada—a single piece of clothing could cost thousands, way beyond what she could afford.
“Liu Wentian, let’s forget it; these clothes are too expensive. Let’s just go eat instead,” Jade said, pulling Liu Wentian to leave.
