Chapter 159: Nicely Shot
The footsteps behind her stopped as well.
“Ning Li?”
Someone scornfully called out her name.
Ning Li turned around and saw three guys and two girls.
All of them were in their 20s and seemed to be part of a gang.
The guys had tattoos on them and the two girls wore heavy makeup and provocative clothing.
When the guys saw Ning Li’s face, they reacted in surprise.
From the back, all they could see was that she was tall and slender even though she wore a loose jersey. With a clearer look at her face, the guys were stunned by her beauty.
The other two girls reacted bitterly.
The girl on the left had on a studded leather jacket and a cigarette in her hand.
She said, “You’re Ning Li? Do you know why we are here?”
Ning Li said calmly, “To teach me a lesson?”
The group was stunned by Ning Li’s straightforwardness.
“You’re quite bright.”
Ning Li said, “Before we start, at least tell me who I offended this time.”
The guy in the center scoffed.
“Don’t you know who you offended?”
Ning Li tilted her head. “I’m sorry, I lost count. I don’t know which unlucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d it is this time, so please let me know. At least I’ll know who’s trying to take revenge on me.”
The group was stunned once again.
They had not expected Ning Li to be this arrogant.
“If you can’t remember, that’s on you. But as guys, we don’t usually hit girls. I’ll let these two take care of you.”
The girl with the studded leather jacket scoffed.
“I just did my nails today. It would be a waste to slap her with this.”
She looked at Ning Li and turned on her phone camera.
“How about this? You kneel and slap yourself 10 times, say you are sorry, and then we can let you go. How about that?”
The small group ridiculed her.
“Miaomiao, you are always the brightest one.”
Ning Li scoffed. “That’s it?”
She then pulled her bag off her shoulder and held it in her hand.
The others laughed at her.
“What are you going to do with that, little girl? Are you going to fight us? Look at you, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Ning Li smiled. “Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to fight you.”
She then turned around and called out loudly, “Are you guys done?”
The guys and girls in the gang were stunned once more.
A few young men suddenly entered from the other end of the alleyway.
“Hahaha, Sister Lili. We were just getting to the good part. Can’t we enjoy it a little longer?”
A few guys appeared wearing trendy clothes, unlike those who had stopped Ning Li. It was obvious that they were from wealthy families.
The guy in the center wore a pair of black pants and a denim jacket. He was a handsome guy who was tall and slender, with tousled grayish-silver hair.
He strutted with a confidence that complemented his wild and unbridled presence.
He smiled as he came closer. The other guys excitedly came forward and greeted Ning Li happily.
“Sister Lili!”
“Sister Lili!”
“Sister Lili!”
Ji Shu aimed a kick at his friends.
“Can’t you rascals speak properly? Are you asking for a beating?”
The guys jokingly avoided his kick.
“Come on, it’s been a while since we saw Sister Lili.”
Ning Li was surprised by their pa.s.sionate entrance. “Calm down, guys.”
They laughed and joked around.
The scene stunned the guys and girls who had stopped Ning Li.
“What’s going on here? Did you call for help?”
The girl known as Miaomiao seemed surprised.
Those guys were not from any gang but based on their looks and attire, they were obviously from wealthy and powerful backgrounds.
A few lowly street gangsters could not afford to mess with them.
They had thought Ning Li was new in Yunzhou and would not have any connections, but Ji Shu’s arrival had proved them wrong.
Ji Shu ran a hand through his hair and strutted closer.
“Kneeling and 10 slaps sounds like child’s play.”
He was looking at the girl but directing his question to Ning Li.
Ning Li walked to the side. She put her bag down on the stairs and sat down.
“It’s okay. She just had her nails done, let’s not waste it.”
“Okay.”
Ji Shu cracked his fingers.
He then took his phone out and started recording.
“What a coincidence, we don’t hit women either. Why don’t you guys do it yourself? Come on, we are in a hurry.”
Ji Shu’s arrogance surprised them.
The guy in the center bellowed, “What the f*ck are you doing? Do you know who I am?”
Ji Shu glanced at him.
“I don’t want you to hurt Sister Lili’s ears with your filthy words, so you can save it. Of course, if you insist on saying it, I can escort you to the police station.”
He grinned menacingly.
“You can choose any police station in Yunzhou.”
It was then that the gang realized that Ji Shu was not just anyone.
The girl who had been quiet covered her mouth in shock.
“You’re… Ji Shu?”
Ji Shu looked at his watch.
“You guys have 3 minutes left.”
He admitted his ident.i.ty indirectly.
The gang members reacted bitterly.
If they were to fight Ji Shu head-on, they would surely lose because Ji Shu and his friends outnumbered them.
Moreover, they could not afford to mess with Ji Shu either.
“10…”
Ning Li suddenly started counting down.
“9…”
The girl who had remained quiet so far knelt down and slapped herself.
“I’m sorry, Master Ji, Ning Li.”
“7…
The others also followed suit.
Everyone knelt down and started slapping themselves.
“3…”
“2…”
“1…”
They finally stopped once the countdown was over.
Ning Li walked over to the girl and took her phone.
The girl hesitated slightly but did not dare fight back.
Ning Li tapped on the video that she had recorded earlier.
She then used her phone to record the video.
She then gave the phone back and grinned.
“Nicely shot.”
