Tong Yi had been watching the situation. He was initially hesitating to intervene, wanting to see how the young man would handle the problem. However, once the thugs began to physically harass the woman, he couldn’t hold back any longer.
But Jiang Xiao Li reacted faster than he did.
The moment the young woman screamed, Jiang Li immediately put down the takeaway box and swiftly jumped in front of the young woman, slapping the thug’s hand away.
The man in the yellow jacket felt a numbness in his elbow and reflexively let go.
“If someone dirtied your clothes, you should go after the person who did it. What’s the point of bullying a girl?” Jiang Li’s voice was extremely cold, but the man in the yellow jacket felt a shock down his spine, overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of this beautiful girl.
The incident with the stains on his jacket was trivial, but when he saw the young man’s girlfriend, who looked pure and pretty, he couldn’t help but make trouble. His aim, of course, was to take advantage of the situation and get his hands on the girl.
The young man’s girlfriend was indeed attractive, but compared to the girl standing up for the couple, she seemed plain. They were just not in the same league.
Confronted by Jiang Li, the man in the yellow jacket quickly changed his target. “Little girl, didn’t your elders teach you not to meddle in others’ affairs?” With a smirk, he reached out, intending to touch Jiang Li’s face.
Jiang Li easily dodged, her gaze icy as she looked at him, “My family taught me that when you can use fists, there’s no need for useless talk.” As she spoke, Jiang Li kicked the man’s knee, making him instantly kneel on the ground.
Jiang Li turned to Tong Yi, “Guess who taught me this trick?”
Tong Yi was stunned for a moment, “Your third uncle?”
Jiang Li shook her head, “My senior brother taught me. He said the human body has many vital points, and if you hit accurately, you can make your opponent lose their ability to resist. But I was also taught that I could cause serious damage if I’m careless and hit the wrong spot, so I rarely use it.”
Hearing Jiang Li’s nonchalant explanation, the man in the yellow jacket, still kneeling on the ground in pain, turned pale. He had just been kicked and couldn’t get up. Could something be wrong?
Tong Yi smirked, “That’s because your senior brother isn’t skilled enough. If it were me, I’d precisely target where I wanted.” While saying this, Tong Yi quickly grabbed the man in the red jacket, the accomplice of the man in the yellow jacket. In almost an instant, the man in the red jacket began screaming.
Jiang Li noticed that the man in the red jacket had his joint dislocated by Tong Yi, the very same move she had used on Bai Guolin.
Before Jiang Li could comment, Tong Yi had already grabbed the man’s hand and swiftly put it back in place, “See, I can also set bones. I bet your senior brother can’t do this, right?”
“…” For some reason, Jiang Li couldn’t help but feel that Tong Yi was showing off, just like a preschooler waiting for his teacher’s praise. What is he? A toddler? Does he want to be called Tong Toddler Yi from now on?
Seeing Jiang Li’s bemused expression, Tong Yi thought she was against him resetting the man’s arm, so he grabbed the man’s other arm and dislocated it again with a snap.
Jiang Li couldn’t help but burst into laughter, thinking that Tong Yi looked even more adorable than Tong Youyou at that moment.
Seeing her laughing, Tong Yi felt a bit elated and quickly bragged, “If you want to learn, I can teach you. Free lessons, guaranteed to master it.”
Jiang Li’s eyes sparkled with amusement, “But I already know how!”
“You do?” Tong Yi was surprised.
Jiang Li nodded, “Yes, my senior brother taught me this too, and I’ve been able to apply it quite well.”
Seeing Tong Yi’s skeptical look, Jiang Li promptly used the man in the yellow jacket, who was still kneeling in pain, for a demonstration.
The sound of a dislocating joint was drowned out by the man’s agonizing screams as he collapsed on the ground, unable to even curse.
Tong Yi: “…”
What kind of oddball was Jiang Li’s senior brother, to even know this?
At that moment, the man in the red shirt had one arm hung limply by his side, and the other, just reset, he dared not move much, making him appear particularly pitiful. His buddy, on the other hand, wasn’t faring any better either, currently curling up on the ground, wailing in resentment and agony, “This is an intentional assault! I’m calling the cops, don’t think you can get away with this!”
Jiang Li looked at him innocently, “Go ahead and call, I’m not running.”
With trouble already stirred up, it wouldn’t be easy for them to simply run away. Tong Yi could just return abroad, but if she tried to run, the police would likely head straight for the training camp to catch her.
On second thought, it was better not to run. After all, she was already an adult, and even if she ended up at the police station, her family wouldn’t be called to pick her up.
Seeing that Jiang Li and Tong Yi had no intention of fleeing, the man in the yellow jacket hesitantly took out his phone with his uninjured hand and dialed 110 to report the incident.
The police arrived quickly. When two officers got out of the car, they immediately frowned at the two familiar faces, “How many times have you been in now?”
The man in the yellow jacket immediately shrieked, “It’s not our fault, it’s those two demons! They attacked us suddenly and said they weren’t afraid of the police, even taunting us to go ahead and make a report.”
The man in red added with a trembling voice, “It really wasn’t us who started it this time. Everyone here can testify.” When his buddy was incapacitated on the ground, he was about to downplay the situation to garner sympathy from the pretty girl, but the young man in the white down jacket suddenly dislocated his arm without any warning. Not only that, after the dislocation, his arm was reset, only to have the other arm dislocated too. If that’s not evil, what is?
As the two exclaimed one after another, they looked at Tong Yi and Jiang Li with evident fear, clearly traumatized. Fortunately, the police had arrived, which should restrain these two demons somewhat…
The police glanced at the young woman, and then at the young man next to her. Obviously, they were skeptical about the thugs’ story. The young man in the white down jacket did have a look that seemed not to be trifled with, and his tall stature made the claim of him committing an assault somewhat believable. But the girl in the beige down jacket looked too innocent and naive to be capable of dislocating the arms of two thugs!
Although the thugs were the ones who called the police, procedures still had to be followed. The officer instructed everyone involved to get into the police car, planning to take them to the nearby police station to collect their statements.
Before getting into the car, Jiang Li hurried back to the barbecue stall where they had been eating and took the packed barbecue with her.
After getting into the police car, one of the officers noticed Jiang Li looking around curiously, “What are you looking at?” He couldn’t help asking.
Jiang Li honestly replied, “It’s my first time in a police car. I wanted to see how it’s different from regular cars.”
The officer couldn’t help but laugh, “Apart from the exterior, there’s not much difference. If you get into the police academy, you could be driving a police car yourself one day.”
The two thugs: “…”
Even though they were thugs.
Even though they often engaged in petty thefts.
Even though they had been arrested many times.
But for the police to encourage the person who assaulted them to consider the police academy, right in front of the victims, seemed a bit heartless, didn’t it?
Even more absurd, the ‘assailant’ even showed a look of regret, “I plan to study medicine in the future, so I won’t have the chance to attend the police academy.”
The officer smiled, “Studying medicine is also good, saving lives and helping patients is a noble aspiration.”
The two thugs had completely lost the desire to speak. These days, as long as a thug is still breathing, no one cares about their well-being!
