âSister Lin, you go first!â Because of what just happened, I didnât exert too much force this time.
Sister Lin looked at me and said, âCan you handle this alone?â
âNo problem, just donât be a burden to me by staying here!â Hearing this, Sister Lin nodded and quickly ran away.
When the group saw Sister Lin running, they stopped chasing. After all, they were drunk and didnât have much energy.
The drunkard leading the group pointed at me and said, âKid, you dare let that chick escape? Do you know whose person I am?â
I smiled faintly and replied, âI really donât know. If thereâs nothing else, senior, Iâll be on my way.â
âNo way you’re leaving!â Just as I turned around, the drunkard grabbed my shirt.
I had no intention of arguing with a group of drunkards, so I turned back and said to him, âSenior, youâre drunk. Go back and rest!â
âDo you know whose person I am?â The drunkardâs face was full of arrogance, but I had no interest in entertaining him.
Feeling a bit impatient, I said, âI really donât know whose person you are! Is being kept by someone so impressive?â
âKid, youâre so cocky! Iâm backed by the second young master of the Zhao family! The Zhao family! Do you know them?â the drunkard said smugly.
Why does this always end up connected to that fool Zhao Gao? Initially, I didnât want to hit him, but since heâs tied to Zhao Gao, I canât let this slideâitâd be a disservice to the audience.
I looked at him and said with a smile, âOh, so youâre from the Zhao family?â
âScared now?â The drunkard looked at me triumphantly and said, âLet me tell you, bring that chick back here right now, or donât even think about surviving at Shenghua!â
Slap!
I gave the drunkard a hard slap across the face. I just couldnât understand why Zhao Gao would keep such a useless person.
âYouâyou dare hit me? Do you know whose person I am?â The drunkard was shocked that I actually hit him.
âZhao Gaoâs mistress, right? You already said that,â I replied impatiently.
The drunkard pointed at me and said, âSince you know Iâm connected to the second young master of the Zhao family, how dare you hit me?â Then, he turned to the rest of the group and shouted, âBrothers, get him!â
âOh? You want to fight?â I looked at them disdainfully.
Drunk people naturally grow bolder. My words didnât intimidate them at all. This time, my attempt at showing off didnât work.
âAh! Ow! Oof! Ouch!â In a chaotic mess of yells, these weaklings with a combat power of five were quickly knocked down. However, their collective groans were oddly unsettling to hear.
‘Sigh, it seems our countrymen need better practice.‘ Look at those actresses from certain islands; even if thereâs no real feeling, their sounds are mesmerizing.
Now only the drunkard was left, frozen in place. As I walked towards him, he stumbled and fell to the ground, sobering up a bit.
âDonât come near me! Do you know whose person I am?â Even now, he tried to use Zhao Gao to suppress me. Doesnât he realize I hate Zhao Gao?
Annoyed, I replied, âI know, youâve said it several timesâZhao Gao! The eunuch from the Qin Dynasty who pointed to a deer and called it a horse!â
âHow dare you insult Young Master Zhao like that!â The drunkard seemed loyal to Zhao Gaoâno idea how much that loyalty cost.
âWill you lie down yourself, or should I help you?â I asked, smirking.
The drunkard shuffled backward and said, âIâm one of Young Master Zhaoâs people! Donât you dare touch me!â
âRelax, Iâm not after your backside!â I cursed impatiently and kicked the drunkard unconscious.
I stripped their clothes, leaving only their underwear, and tied them up in pairs using their own clothing. They looked oddly… intimate.
After dealing with them, I left without a trace, concealing my merit and fame.
Still worried about Sister Lin, I headed toward the womenâs dormitory.
As I approached, I called her. âHey, Sister Lin, are you alright?â
Sister Linâs voice was emotional as she replied, âOf course Iâm fine! But you scared me to death!â
âGood to hear. Iâll hang up now!â Phone charges are expensive with roaming. Since coming to the capital, Iâve been using my old phone and SIM card in case Zhang Yu and the others wanted to contact me.
âWait! Where are you now?â Sister Lin asked urgently.
âOutside your dormitory. Why?â I replied, puzzled.
âI have something to give you!â Sister Lin said with a laugh.
Something to give me? Curious, I said, âIâm downstairs. Hurry up; itâs getting late, and the lights will go out soon.â
âWait there; Iâll be right down.â With that, Sister Lin hung up.
While waiting downstairs, I noticed something strange.
There were many cars parked outside, most of them clearly expensive. I didnât recognize all the models, but I knew the logosâBMW, Mercedes… and others I couldnât identify. They didnât look cheap.
Even stranger, all the cars had their doors open, facing the dormitory, with bottles of water on their roofs. What did that mean?
A girl suddenly ran out of the dormitory. Thinking it was Sister Lin, I got up to greet her, but I realized her figure didnât match Sister Linâs. So, I crouched back down.
The girl ran to a car I didnât recognize, took the water bottle off the roof, got in, and closed the door. Shortly after, the car drove away.
While waiting for Sister Lin, I saw several girls come down and do the same thing.
What the hell was going on? Forget it, Iâll just wait for Sister Lin.
After a while, Sister Lin finally came down. Smiling, she said, âSorry to keep you waiting!â
âYou know you made me wait a long time? My legs are numb!â I pretended to stretch exaggeratedly.
Sister Lin slapped my arm playfully. âCanât you be nicer to me? Donât forget, Iâm a beautiful woman!â
âSorry, itâs modern societyâgender equality!â I shrugged, feigning helplessness.
âEnough joking around. Here, see what I brought you!â She handed me something.
âWhatâs this?â I asked, puzzled, looking at the stringed yellow paper.
Sister Lin sighed. âItâs a safety charm. Donât you know?â
âOh…â I replied absentmindedly, not expecting it to look like this.
Sister Lin tied the charm around my neck and said, âI got this from the Confucius Temple a while ago. I forgot to give it to you. I thought I wouldnât see you again, but now youâre my junior!â
As if remembering something, she pulled out another charm from her pocket and said, âThis oneâs for Meiâer. Give it to her next time you see her.â
âIâll thank you on Meiâerâs behalf,â I said with a smile.
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the screen, I saw it was Zhang Yu.
