Both Duan Shi and Shi Mei were still dazed when they were kicked while little Yun Zhu and Duan Li stared at Yun Jian in admiration.
The adults were visibly frightened as Yun Jian’s skill was unnerving. Which teenage girl could act like she was leaving, yet turn around to send someone into the air with a kick each, once she got to the door?
Duan Shi and Shi Mei who were used to the bad in society had thought themselves to be familiar with reality’s cruelness and were at the forefront of all people. Duan Shi, specifically, had all his wishes fulfilled ever since he attached himself to a rich woman like Shi Mei; he never had to worry about not having enough money for beer. Recently, life was smooth-sailing for Duan Shi and he was often not home.
Coming back today, he had planned to abandon Duan Li and Duan Ya. He was just going to collect some living necessities and off he would go to live a good life with Shi Mei. It was thus unexpected when he came home and saw the strangers Yun Jian and Yun Zhu.
Duan Shi was poor but he was reluctant to go to work. He had never taken care of his two children either, depending on Longmen City’s government aid to keep Duan Li and Duan Ya alive. Duan Shi was even using the monetary aid for the kids to buy his beer—how could he possibly look after his daughters?
In fact, he had only begun leaving the government aid to Duan Li and Duan Ya recently because he got himself Shi Mei, his sugar mama. Nonetheless, it was still impossible for him to fork out a living allowance for his children. Never in the world!
“Toot… toot… toot…” The sound of the call connecting rang when Duan Shi thought about making Yun Jian and his burden of two daughters suffer after he bled on his front teeth from being kicked flying.
Yun Jian had pressed the ‘call’ button on Shi Mei’s cellphone with her delicate finger.
Shi Mei’s cellphone already had the number ‘110’ dialed, but she and Duan Shi had just been threatening Yun Jian. Both of them had just entered the number but they did not actually dare call the police.
Shi Mei was using the money her husband had made to support Duan Shi. If they were to go to the police station to give their statement, it would definitely alarm her husband. It was going to be a sticky situation if what was going on between Shi Mei and Duan Shi was found out by the woman’s husband. By then, forget about giving her husband’s money to Duan Shi, Shi Mei herself would be facing marital issues with her husband. She would go from a rich woman to having nothing.
Therefore, Shi Mei would never dare to actually call the police. She was only putting on a show to scare Yun Jian, not expecting that the latter was not tricked.
Yun Jian knew what the woman was thinking. She had snatched the phone just to call the police.
After three beeps, Duan Shi and Shi Mei realized the risk they faced. Uncaring for the throbbing from being slammed on the floor and the door, both of them scrambled up to rush to Yun Jian. Shi Mei shrieked as she ran, her haughty voice losing its initial calm, “Give it back to me! Give it back! You b*tch, give my phone back!”
“We’ll get someone back at you! Return the phone!” Duan Shi threatened glaring daggers at Yun Jian. He knew some thugs, so he was confident in his threat.
However, Duan Shi was smarter than Shi Mei. After being kicked just now, he kept his distance. Shi Mei dashed forward without a care but just as she got in front of Yun Jian, Yun Jian had avoided her, pulling Yun Zhu and Duan Li along.
Then, a melodic female voice replaced the beeping from the phone. “Hello, this is 110. How may I help you?”
