Chapter 131: Crippled?
Three Seconds was smashed to the ground with a bang. He got up in a daze and seemed to feel something in his hand. It was a shoe, and a female shoe at that.
To think that he had been hit by a shoe. Three Seconds felt embarrassed. Just as he was about to curse, he heard footsteps, followed by a heavy kick on his body.
“You’re the pr*ck who wants to kill me, aren’t you? You released venomous snakes and tried to set me on fire. Now, you want to use a knife? Have I snatched your wife or killed your father? Is that why you are treating me like this?”
As the blows rained down on him, curses came one after another. There wasn’t a lot of technique involved, but the force of the blows on his body was terrifying. Initially, Three Seconds wanted to resist, but he was firmly pinned on the ground and couldn’t move. Soon, he was beaten until he couldn’t retaliate at all.
At first, he held it in, but later on, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and couldn’t help but beg for mercy.
Little Bei explained to the surrounding people that this was a bad person who had been coming after them to kill them. She was vigilant, so she stomped on Three Seconds’ fingers when she saw them sticking out.
Seeing that he wasn’t being cooperative, she kicked him a few more times and stepped on him when she had the chance.
Initially, the crowd wanted to help after hearing what Little Bei said. However, upon watching the situation for a while, they realized that they didn’t need to help at all. The mother-and-daughter duo were taking care of it nicely by themselves.
Besides, it seemed like the person who needed help wasn’t the mother-and-daughter duo, but the fellow who was being pressed down.
His pained cries became softer and softer. The surrounding people couldn’t help but ask, “Has he been killed?”
“Yeah, is he still alive?”
The way they looked at Mu Jingzhe was a little strange. They plucked up the courage to amplify their voices. “Young la… Heroine, I think you should stop fighting. You don’t want to kill someone.”
The onlooker originally wanted to call her ‘young lady’, but when she saw Mu Jingzhe’s appearance, she couldn’t help but use the term ‘heroine’, which was commonly used in television dramas. After saying that, even she felt a little strange.
“Mommy.” Little Bei had heard everyone and quickly pulled Mu Jingzhe away.
Only then did Mu Jingzhe stop and take a deep breath. She had lost control a little because she was really furious.
The main reason she was furious were those two perilous experiences. The first time, she and the five children had almost been bitten to death by venomous snakes. Even the people of Great Eastern Village had been implicated.
Later on, an entire crew of 20 to 30 people, including other tourists, had almost died in a sea of fire.
If they hadn’t been lucky enough to escape and provide evidence later, this might have been mistaken for an accident and they could’ve died just like that.
In order to save her, Little Bei had gotten injured, and her injuries had yet to recover.
Each time, many lives had been risked. The perpetrator was unscrupulous. She had also seen him attack the boss just now.
If he’d had a knife in his hand, perhaps the boss’s throat would have been slit. There was no enmity between them, but for the sake of escaping, he would casually reap the lives of others. How could Mu Jingzhe not be angry?
She had no idea how she had provoked a group of lunatics who kept following her around to take her life. Plus, never mind if they were only targeting her. That wasn’t the case either. They were even willing to sacrifice the lives of others to kill her.
Mu Jingzhe really hated them.
She calmed down and took off the clothes of Three Seconds, who had already been rendered unable to speak. Using his clothing, she tied his hands together, and shortly after she had done so, the police arrived.
On such a bustling street, there would usually be regular patrols. When the policemen heard the commotion, they came over.
“What’s going on?” The scene that they saw made them wary of Mu Jingzhe.
“This person wanted to kill me but was subdued by me,” Mu Jingzhe calmly explained, including the investigation she had conducted previously. She also mentioned the arson case.
That arson case had only taken place a few days earlier, and the police officers present happened to know about it. They half-believed Mu Jingzhe and brought Three Seconds, who looked like a dead dog, back to the crossroads to look for witnesses and the knife.
The knife was still there, and it was obvious that there was blood on it. No one had touched it, but the old man was gone. There was only blood on the ground.
Seeing that the evidence was still there, Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was a little surprised that the old man had disappeared.
“The old perv… grandpa was still here. I don’t know why he’s gone now.”
Mu Jingzhe quickly corrected herself, calling the ‘old pervert’ a ‘kind old grandpa’ instead.
Recalling that there might have been a misunderstanding and that the old man had helped her yet she hadn’t shown mercy, Mu Jingzhe felt a little guilty.
The old pervert, who was Shao Qihai, was speechless.
As he watched Mu Jingzhe and the police leave, Shao Qihai looked at his hand, which had been casually bandaged with a handkerchief. He stood far behind them and walked a little awkwardly.
Yeah… the pain mostly wasn’t over yet.
Shao Qihai even suspected that he had been crippled by that kick and felt extremely helpless. However, after seeing how Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei had dealt with that man, he suddenly felt that Mu Jingzhe had already shown him mercy.
He had no idea when Mu Jingzhe had become so powerful that she could fight whenever she wanted and possessed great strength.
When Shao Qihai saw how powerful Mu Jingzhe was, he should have felt at ease, but for some reason, he was a little worried. However, he didn’t recall what he was worried about for a while.
As she had suddenly caught the culprit who might have been targeting her for the past few days, she didn’t continue to buy clothes. Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei went to the police station again and met the police officer they had just met a few days ago.
“He tried to kill you with a knife? On the street?”
“Mm.” Mu Jingzhe nodded.
The police officer who asked this question was very serious. He looked at the knife and instructed his colleagues, “Go do a fingerprint comparison.”
When it was mentioned that a fingerprint comparison was going to be done, Three Seconds finally reacted. He kept screaming in pain before realizing that there was something wrong with his hand.
Both his hands were injured, as Little Bei had stepped on them. However, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that one of his hands had been dislocated, and one of his legs was fractured.
The police officer roughly looked at the test result. “Why is his leg broken?”
Mu Jingzhe blinked. “I don’t know either. Maybe he accidentally broke it or fractured it when he fell.”
She lowered her head. “I don’t know if it was me either. I was really scared. When I thought about the venomous snakes and the fire, I was too scared and I hit him a bit. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
The police officer hesitated for a few seconds. He looked at Mu Jingzhe and then at Little Bei, who was consoling her and telling her not to be afraid. In the end, he didn’t say anything.
When they came out, the sky was already dark. Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei were no longer in the mood to shop and hurried back to rest.
Shao Qihai, who had been waiting outside, watched them enter before he had the time to go back and check on his condition.
The area where he had been kicked didn’t hurt as much anymore. He didn’t know if its functionality had been affected, as he wasn’t a doctor.
Thinking back, Shao Qihai felt lingering fear. He had done so much in the past and hadn’t even hesitated to fake his death because he didn’t want his family to fall into this dangerous swamp. However, in the end, they had still been implicated.
Late at night, Jiang Feng came to look for Shao Qihai, and they talked about their respective situations, exchanging information.
Seeing that Shao Qihai was injured, Jiang Feng quickly bandaged and treated his wounds. His movements were very skilled, and it was obvious that he did this frequently.
“Luckily, you followed her, Brother Hai. Otherwise, sister-in-law would have…” Jiang Feng felt fear just thinking about it. “Sister-in-law didn’t recognize you, right?”
Shao Qihai: “No…”
He didn’t mention the extremely humiliating experience of being treated like an old pervert. His expression was very complicated.
