I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 96 Revenge Was Taken Immediately (3.6K)

The two sides faced off, the atmosphere silent yet tense, with swords drawn.

At this moment, Li Shiming quietly tugged at Chen Jingle's sleeve, signaling him not to act impulsively.

Chen Jingle was surprised.

Li Shiming whispered, "Don't get into a conflict with them, it's not worth it."

Because once physical violence occurs, the nature of the offense changes. Even if it is classified as a fight, it will still result in detention and fines.

Although she was very angry, she was also pleased that Chen Jingle was willing to stand up for her. However, she was not brainless and did not want Chen Jingle to get into trouble because of her.

Unless the other party strikes first and one side is forced to defend and counterattack, it is possible to avoid being classified as a mutual fight.

The problem is that the other party is currently just being verbally abusive and hasn't shown any signs of wanting to take action yet, so it's not a good time to make the first move.

Even with the case of Brother Long, the current legal standards for defining this area in China are still very vague, and law enforcement at the grassroots level tends to be lenient, and unless the circumstances are serious, both sides are usually punished equally.

Little did they know that the two scooter riders were now in a difficult position.

He only intended to make a few casual remarks, but unexpectedly a hero suddenly appeared to save the day, which made him very angry.

Are you pretending?
Do you even have the right to speak here?
Get the hell out of my way!

However, Chen Jingle was tall and strong. Just standing there, without him even having to do anything, the overwhelming sense of oppression made the two of them feel intimidated and dare not say a word.

"Let's go, let's go."

The guy sitting in the back quickly urged his companion to leave.

For some reason, he felt uneasy when Chen Jingle's gaze swept over him, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He had only ever seen this kind of imposing aura emanating from certain specific groups of people.

What impressed me most was when I was working in Dongguan. I was eating breakfast at a roadside stall and met a man who looked ordinary, but just one glance at him made my hair stand on end.

The boss didn't even charge for the meal, and only said after the man left that the man must have a murder on his hands.

Ruthless people have a different aura than ordinary people.

The driver, still a bit defiant, glared at Chen Jingle with a fierce but cowardly look, but didn't dare to say anything harsh. He floored the accelerator and sped away.

It's fine to make suggestive remarks to a beautiful woman who's alone, but if she has friends around and a fight breaks out, it won't do them any good if things escalate.

Chen Jingle narrowed his eyes and watched them leave.

However, the electric scooter had only traveled less than 100 meters when it suddenly wobbled violently, plunging into the roadside green belt along with the rider.

The green belts in Jiangbei are mainly planted with small evergreen trees such as golden banyan trees, and they are pruned regularly. After pruning, the trees are smooth, but they can still really hurt when they prick you.

After the two people fell into the green belt, they were instantly stabbed and screamed in agony, which shocked passersby.

How could someone drive onto the green belt on such a wide road? Were they drunk to the point of unconsciousness in broad daylight?

Eventually, some kind-hearted people couldn't bear to see it and stepped forward to help lift the car.

Chen Jingle snorted. He was never one to have a good temper or let others bully him. Whenever he had a grudge, he would settle it on the spot.

However, due to certain reasons, they were relatively restrained and did not go so far as to kill anyone. They simply left them with a few more holes in their bodies and caused them some physical pain.

It's good to learn a lesson so that I won't dare to be so sarcastic in the future.

They should be thankful they didn't completely offend Chen Jingle, otherwise they would have been greeted not by green belts, but by dump trucks.

……

Witnessing this scene, in just a few seconds, Li Shiming's expression changed from anger to astonishment, and she subconsciously looked at Chen Jingle.

Upon noticing that Chen Jingle also looked somewhat surprised, she couldn't help but chuckle.

He cursed, "Serves you right!"

The little bit of emotion I felt earlier dissipated almost instantly.

“Exactly!” Chen Jingle smiled and agreed.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, they probably would have continued to pester us."

Li Shiming said sincerely.

Chen Jingle waved his hand: "Why are you being so polite? We're friends, aren't we?"

Just friends...?

Li Shiming pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Fortunately, she was in a good mood after witnessing the two thugs get what they deserved, but then she sighed and said, "Things have been getting more and more outrageous lately."

They weren't this brazen a few years ago.

Although surveillance cameras are now ubiquitous, there will always be areas they can't reach. In desperate situations, you never know what some people might do.

At least he knew that the number of thefts had surged significantly recently.

"really."

Li Shiming nodded, and at the same time made a decision in her heart.

Chen Jingle looked at her: "It's really upsetting to run into something like this while out. Do you still want to go get a drink?"

Li Shiming laughed and said, "Go ahead and drink. Don't let two scoundrels affect your mood. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Besides, they've already gotten their comeuppance. Actually, this kind of thing happens quite often, just to varying degrees. Just ignore them. In broad daylight, they shouldn't dare to lay a hand on me."

Chen Jingle nodded slightly: "That's good."

"Let's go, let's go over there first." Li Shiming waved her hand.

"it is good."

After seeing that she was indeed alright, Chen Jingle returned to his car, where Xiao Yuqing was still waiting for him.

However, after Chen Jingle turned around, Li Shiming's expression suddenly turned cold. After getting into the car, she took out her phone and made a call.

"Hello, Dad."

"What's wrong, my dear girl?"

Li Yuan, who was on the other end of the phone, had just finished playing basketball and was sitting down to wipe his sweat with a towel when his secretary handed him the phone, so he answered it.

Li Shiming: "I remember you were quite familiar with Uncle Zhang Heyang, right? Could you talk to him and ask him to take care of the security issues in Jiangbei?"

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" Li Yuan, who had been casually looking, suddenly sat up straight, his expression serious and his brows furrowed slightly.

Li Shiming snorted, "I went out to eat with some friends today and ran into two filthy hooligans. The worst part is, this isn't the first time. These people have such foul mouths, they're as disgusting as toads. They're ruining the reputation and social standing of Jiangbei."

"Are you guys okay?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan frowned deeply, and anger began to rise in his heart.

There are more and more blind people out there. He only has one daughter. Although he doesn't spoil her, he gives her almost everything she wants. He doesn't even dare to speak harshly to her. How could he let outsiders bully her?

My daughter doesn't like to show off; that's just her personality and habit. As her father, I have to protect her.

Those scumbags should be grateful that we live in a society governed by the rule of law. Twenty years ago, if two extra sacks were found in the Jiangbei River, hardly anyone would have noticed.

Li Shiming said, "It's okay. Luckily, one of our friends is quite tall, and the other party didn't want to make a big fuss, so they rode away on their bikes."

Li Yuan was so angry that he crushed the beverage bottle in his hand, but he still maintained a gentle tone: "It's good that you're alright. Be careful and protect yourself when you're out. Call your dad immediately if anything happens. I'll mention it to your Uncle Zhang later. Things have really been quite chaotic lately. I've heard similar things from the employees at the company. Although Jiangbei's economy can't keep up with the big cities, we can't afford to fall too far behind in terms of public security."

"So you remember?"

"Don't worry, don't forget."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan said expressionlessly to his secretary, "Make an appointment with Director Zhang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau for me, the sooner the better!"

It was a formal meeting, not a private dinner or discussion, so there was nothing to hide.

In this matter, since it was within the other party's responsibilities, Li Yuan's suggestion was merely a friendly reminder, and the other party was more than grateful.

If this leads to a major disaster and makes the national news, then things will get really troublesome.

If this had happened in Jiangbei, Zhang Heyang probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at night.

After hanging up the phone, Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, started her little car, and cheerfully called for Chen Jingle, who was already waiting on the side on his electric scooter, to follow.

……

Sister Hua's Dessert Shop.

The snack street opposite Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School has shops decorated in the style of decades ago, old and yellowed, with outdated posters on the walls, but overall it is still clean.

There is a large banyan tree at the entrance, hence the name "Banyan Tree Dessert Shop".

According to Li Shiming, this shop has been open for almost 30 years, and it attracts a constant stream of customers every day. The shop offers dozens of desserts to choose from, and the prices are affordable.

After all, it's located near a school, so the target audience is mainly students.

Chen Jingle's previous activities were mainly within the Second Middle School and the First Middle School. The Third Middle School was located in the northeastern part of the city, which was in the opposite direction from his home, so he hadn't been there much.

At first, I even had a bit of trouble recognizing the way; my sense of direction wasn't very good.

Fortunately, Li Shiming led the way.

There are fewer people around in the afternoon.

When they arrived, there were only two tables of customers scattered throughout the restaurant.

As for whether you can continue eating right after a meal, there's no need to worry. People from Lingnan have a special stomach to hold desserts.

Chen Jingle ordered a taro ball coconut milk sago dessert and a double-skin milk dessert for Lin Yuqing. As for Changmao, it didn't need it.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shiming finally decided to order the same thing: taro balls, coconut milk, and sago.

After ordering the dessert, Li Shiming smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you reacted so quickly just now. I was just about to ignore them."

Chen Jing chuckled: "You just treated me to a meal, you can't just pretend you didn't see it, can you?"

As for whether a fight will break out, he is not worried about that, as it was destined from the beginning that there would be no physical conflict between the two sides.

Because the other party can't even touch him.

If they really dare to make a move, it won't just be as simple as getting a hole punched in the green belt. If those two guys aren't kept in bed for three to five months, I'll change my mind.

"Thank you anyway!"

Li Shiming teased Lin Yuqing's little hand and said with a smile.

Chen Jingle smiled with her eyelids lowered: "Didn't I already thank you before? Why are you being so polite?"

"So, were you scared back then? There were two people on the other side," Li Shiming asked curiously.

Chen Jingle shook his head: "It's not that having more people means having an advantage. They're not as tall as me, and I'm used to exercising. If it really comes down to it, it's hard to say who will have the upper hand."

"Oh?"

Li Shiming was skeptical, but Chen Jingle didn't seem like the type to boast.

If she weren't afraid of appearing too subservient in front of Chen Jingle, she almost blurted out, "Let me see your muscles."

Fortunately, I managed to hold back.

However, even just looking at Chen Jingle's arms, you can indeed see the signs of training.

She didn't know until she looked that Chen Jingle had the kind of body type commonly known as the "outer-shaped" body type. His wrists weren't thick, but his forearms looked very strong and muscular, and the blood vessels under his fair skin were particularly prominent.

I was momentarily stunned.

Many people don't realize that, for women, a man's hands, just like a woman's legs, possess a unique allure.

Chen Jingle's fingers are fair and slender, while his arms are strong, creating a striking contrast.

In addition, he was wearing a very ordinary burgundy T-shirt today, which was not very heavy, and you could vaguely feel his broad chest under the shirt.

Li Shiming's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any longer for fear of being discovered.

Actually, since they were face to face, Chen Jingle could tell exactly where she was looking, but he was too embarrassed to call her out on it.

It's like someone wearing a low-cut dress in front of you. Do you think they wouldn't notice if you didn't look at their cleavage?
Chen Jingle's attention was quickly diverted when the sweet soup and desserts they had ordered were served.

He'll prepare things for Lin Yuqing first; as for Li Shiming, she doesn't need his help.

Seeing how patiently he took care of the children, Li Shiming gradually became captivated and fell silent for a moment, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.

"By the way, it's already July, when do you guys get your holidays?"

Chen Jingle took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.
