Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up

Chapter 22: She Doesn’t Look Like She’s Trying To Get Close

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Borrowing the strength of the alcohol, the drunkard also went on a rampage. If he couldn’t beat that man, then he definitely wouldn’t lose to this little girl!

Not only that, she was so thin and frail, and her wrist looked as if it would snap at the slightest motion.

When he heard her tell the man to call the police, the idea of using this girl to make his escape popped up in his mind.

With crazed eyes, his hand snapped up, about to grab her ankle, but the girl had managed to predict his actions, somehow, and moved her foot away from his mouth before stomping down on the hand that he’d raised. Using her other leg, she promptly kicked him in the ribs, careful not to use too much strength so she wouldn’t accidentally cause internal injuries.

Even so, it was enough for the drunkard to howl and tremble in pain.

“Behave yourself!” Jiang Xun kicked him again. “Tell me, how many times have you done this?”

“No...This is my first time.” This time, the drunkard completely sobered up while sobbing.

He couldn’t admit it now, regardless of whether he had done it before or not.

He could not lift his hand no matter how hard he tried, not even if he used all his strength. It was only then did he realize that the little girl in front of him was far from harmless.

When he saw Jiang Xun’s other foot about to kick him again, he arched his body like a shrimp. He was in so much pain that tears involuntarily flowed out from his eyes. Sobbing, he begged for mercy. “Don’t kick me... Don’t kick me...”

“... I was wrong, please stop kicking me... I was wrong...”

Jiang Xun raised her eyebrows fiercely. She had only gained one MP. She was about to kick him when the system reminded her, “Host, be careful of what will happen if you kick him again.”

“But even the surveillance cameras captured the incident. He attacked me first. I was acting in self-defense. I kicked him later because he wanted to escape.”

After the police obtained the surveillance cameras, they would see that she was in the right. But indeed, making too many unnecessary moves wouldn’t help her case, either.

At this moment, the police finally arrived.

They did not expect to see someone they knew.

When they saw Jiang Xun, the police were stunned. “Jiang Xun?”

They owed their thanks to Jiang Xun, who had been running all over the capital and fighting crime. There were figures of her arresting lawbreakers everywhere.

As a result, even though she wouldn’t say that she knew all the police officers in the district, she still knew about 70-80% of them.

This time, she happened to be quite familiar with the ones who’d arrived at the scene.

“I was just about to leave when I bumped into him coming out drunk. Not only did he harass me, he even made a move on me, but I subdued him. I wonder if this is his first offense.”

“We can testify.” Chengnan raised his hand. “When we came over, we just happened to hear him say something dirty about doing good work and making Jiang Xun...comfortable or something...”

Chengnan felt dirty when he repeated these words.

The police officer’s face darkened when he heard that. “Okay, thank you.”

The police officer and his colleagues took statements from Jiang Xunshu, Mufeng, and Chengnan, after which they understood the whole story. They also got the security footage from the restaurant.

This drunkard was 100% in the wrong.

When the police officers took the drunkard away, one of them flashed Jiang Xunshu a thumbs up. “Every time I see you, you’re always catching bad guys!”

Jiang Xun nodded. “... I know.”

After the drunkard was taken away, Jiang Xun thanked Mufeng and Chengnan again. “Thank you for what you did just now.”

“Are you here to eat, or are you going to leave?” Mufeng remembered that Jiang Xun had told the police that he was going to leave.

“I’m going to leave.” Jiang Xun was a little regretful. She should have left with the police just now. Wouldn’t she be able to find the elevator then?

Looking at her regretful expression, the corner of Mufeng’s mouth twitched. If he had to guess, Jiang Xun had probably gotten lost again and was regretting not leaving with the police.

She must’ve been looking for an exit but ended up walking deeper and deeper into the restaurant.

It was a skill for one to be so stupid with directions.

“We were just about to leave too. Let’s go together,” Mufeng said.

Jiang Xun’s eyes lit up. She could finally get out!

She immediately followed Mufeng out, quickly realizing that she could’ve found the elevator so easily by going straight to the end of the hallway and turning right.

They took the elevator to the first floor and went through the corridor before they completely exited the restaurant.

Jiang Xun took a breath of fresh air.

She was finally out.

“Thank you. How are you going to leave?” Jiang Xun asked politely.

Mufeng pointed to the parking lot on the left. “My car Is there.”

Jiang Xun nodded and waved at Mufeng and Chengnan with a smile. “I’ll be leaving first, then.”

After saying that, she ran away.

Looking at her back, Chengnan said in a low voice, “President, it doesn’t seem like Jiang Xun is intentionally getting close to you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be leaving by herself. This would be the perfect time for her to get into your car.”

Mufeng looked away from Jiang Xun. “Let’s go.”

The two of them got into the car and the driver drove out of the parking lot. After driving for a while, Mufeng saw her running by the roadside.

He pinched the corner of his eyes. Did this girl not know how to walk? Every time he saw her, she was running.

Chengnan also caught sight of her and couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that Jiang Xun is planning to run home?”

“Although Jiang Chengye didn’t treat her very well and left her at her uncle’s house in the countryside for 11 years, since he brought her home, he wouldn’t be so harsh that he wouldn’t even give her some pocket money, right?” Chengnan thought to himself. Was Jiang Chengye really that overboard?

“Jiang Chengye is such a shameless person. How could he let his daughter run around like that outside? If someone saw her, wouldn’t his image be torn up?” Chengnan muttered.

Mufeng’s eyes darkened. Although he didn’t ask Chengnan to continue investigating, he could guess that Jiang Xun’s position in the Jiang family was awkward.

She had been thrown to her uncle’s house in the countryside when young and was only brought back now.

The house had long been occupied by her stepmother and half-siblings, and there was no place for her.

“Stop in front for a while,” Mufeng suddenly said to the driver, who quickly found a suitable spot by the roadside to park the car.

Mufeng lowered the window and waited for a while before seeing Jiang Xun run over.

No matter how fast she could run, it was impossible for her to be faster than a car. Even when he was talking with Chengnan just now, their car had already passed her by a short distance.

Fortunately, this was a straight road, so he wasn’t worried that she would turn halfway.

When he saw her running over, she didn’t seem to see him.

Without turning her head, she ran straight ahead, so Mufeng had no choice but to call out to her.

Jiang Xun stopped when she heard the voice. After looking around for a bit, she saw that it was Mufeng again.

“Are you planning to run all the way home?” Mufeng asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Xun nodded. “To strengthen my body,” she explained.

“...”

It was only then did Mufeng carefully examine Jiang Xun. He realized that she had indeed changed a lot compared to the first time he met her.

Although her figure was slender, she looked much healthier now. Her small face was much paler than before. Under the illumination of the neon lights at night, it actually seemed to glow.

Because she had just been running, the blush on her face was even thicker.
