Chapter 98: Your Dad Sent Me to Take You Home (2/2)

A strange cracking sound and a man’s piercing wail echoed through the night sky.

The burly man, clutching his groin in pain, sweat dripping from his forehead, nearly collapsed to the ground. Taking advantage of the moment, Xiang Xin quickly dashed past the man while his lackeys stood frozen in shock.

Seeing Xiang Xin run, the burly man roared angrily, “What are you all standing there for? Catch her!”

The lackeys quickly regained their senses and chased after Xiang Xin, surrounding her once again in no time.

Watching the burly man with an iron rod limping towards her with a fierce expression, Xiang Xin closed her eyes in resignation.

It’s over. I’ve offended these people beyond repair. Looks like my reputation is ruined… Maybe I should just find a river and jump in.

If I had known this would happen, I should have run away with the crowd. Who cares about pride at this point?

Before committing suicide, I should at least tell Dad to break these people’s legs for me!

“Damn it…” the burly man cursed, limping towards Xiang Xin while gripping the iron rod even tighter.

Seeing this, Shen Cheng knew he couldn’t stay on the sidelines any longer. He took a step forward.

“Hey, you bunch of grown men, don’t you feel ashamed ganging up on a middle school girl?”

Hearing the voice, the burly man’s rage flared as he turned around to see the slender man who had been standing across the street watching the whole time, now strolling towards him with his hands in his pockets, smiling.

The burly man remembered seeing him just standing there watching without calling the police or interfering, so he didn’t bother with him. But now that this guy was stepping in, the burly man sneered.

Idiot!

Xiang Xin opened her eyes to glance at Shen Cheng and sighed even more in despair.

You’ve been watching all this time. If you really wanted to help, why didn’t you call the police?

Now you jump in all alone? Trying to play hero? Fighting so many thugs? Do you think you’re Captain America or something?

She glanced up and down at Shen Cheng a few more times and sighed again.

What a waste of such a handsome face, stuck on the neck of an idiot.

“A meddling fool! You lot take care of that wench first, I’ll deal with this idiot myself!”

The burly man ordered his lackeys before limping towards Shen Cheng, sneering, “A meddling fool, huh? Looks like you’ve never been properly beaten before!”

However, Shen Cheng just stood there with his hands still in his pockets, tilting his head slightly with a faint smile. His calm attitude made the burly man even angrier. Raising the iron rod high, he swung it viciously towards Shen Cheng!

Xiang Xin instinctively covered her eyes, already picturing the slender man covered in blood.

But—

“Boom!!”

“Holy shit!”

A loud crash, followed by one of the thug’s shocked yells, reached Xiang Xin’s ears. She hesitated, then parted her fingers to peek. What she saw left her completely stunned.

The burly man, who had been standing in front of Shen Cheng just a moment ago, was now lying over ten meters away! His iron rod lay on the ground, and he was curled up like a shrimp, trembling slightly.

As for Shen Cheng, he still stood there, holding his foot up in a kicking stance, his composed and nonchalant figure causing Xiang Xin’s heart to flutter.

Handsome. Too handsome!

Slowly retracting his leg, Shen Cheng turned his gaze toward Xiang Xin. The thugs surrounding her began to feel a chill run down their spines.

Shen Cheng, still with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face, spoke to Xiang Xin:

“Xiang Xin, your dad sent me to take you home!”
