They were being dragged by one of their legs so their backs and head were hit and cut by all the rocks on the ground. Brother Huang and his men shouted in pain continuously. Hou Zi would take care of Brother Huang and his men. As for Luo Ran who had fainted, it was only reasonable for Boss Luo to come and fetch him personally.
Actually, in the end, Ye Jian had already retracted her silver wire. However, Luo Ran was frightened so he didn’t know that he wasn’t able to make a sound because he was too scared. It wasn’t because of the silver wire in Ye Jian’s hand.
Fainted out of fright. This was the result Ye Jian needed.
She twirled the silver wire back on her wrist slowly. She looked at Luo Ran who was lying on the ground like a dead fish and sneered, “This is all the guts he has and yet, he still dared to say he wants to kill someone. I wonder where he gets his confidence from.”
“That’s because you usually look very amiable and give people the illusion that you are easily bullied.” Xia Jinyuan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead as he watched her scaring a young man till he fainted. He said in a helpless tone, “If you act a little more vicious during normal times, you will definitely become the number one bully of your school.”
Little Fox always acted like an obedient little girl in front of her cla.s.smates. She was amiable, humble, and good-mannered. That was why she gave people the wrong impression of a person that was easy to bully.
Ye Jian blinked and shook her head. She said with a serious face, “That’s not possible. Special Forces soldiers need to understand how to disguise themselves. My image is a senior high student. How can I do things that destroy my image in school?”
“When he returns to school and tells everyone what happened tonight, your image as a good student will still be destroyed.” As Xia Jinyuan spoke, he placed one hand behind his back and waved. The quiet motorcycles started their engines and after a series of loud noises, they went back into the darkness. Only both of them were left.
As for the unconscious Luo Ran, they pretended that he didn’t exist.
The sound of the insects could be heard along with the wind. The frightening scene a minute ago turned into calmness one minute later. As the night breeze blew past, it seemed as if nothing had happened before.
Ye Jian slowly walked towards the direction of the road. Her voice was tranquil and cool like water. She replied calmly as she walked, “He won’t dare to tell anyone. He will never say bad things about me in school either.”
“Why not?” Xia Jinyuan walked over. He accurately and naturally held her hand as he smiled and asked, “I heard everything just now. Even in the face of death, that young man was still so arrogant. He might start attacking you in school one day.”
His hand was warm and dry. When he held her, she felt warmth and a sense of security. This caused her to smile subconsciously. “No, he won’t dare. He won’t dare.”
She repeated her sentence firmly, confidently, and resolutely.
The hand in his palm was soft and gentle. It felt as if he would hurt her if he exerted a little more force. The moment Xia Jinyuan held her hand, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. “Why do you say that? I think that he has the guts.”
“He doesn’t have the guts, trust me. After tonight, he will remain entirely humble in front of me.” Ye Jian reciprocated his hold. Her fingers were slender and strong. It was full of strength. “Just now, I told him that he still wants to kill me even though he doesn’t have the ability to kill people. Thus, as someone who has the ability to kill someone, killing him will be a piece of cake for me. Therefore, he will be scared that I might really get rid of him.”
“As for guts, he honestly doesn’t have it. Normally, a person who is arrogant but doesn’t have any ability is very timid. People with abilities and are arrogant will normally show it only when they are killing someone.”
