CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 44: I’M A RASCAL, AND PROUD OF IT

Lei Jiajia, originally an innocent and carefree sophomore, yet because of that stunning face, sowed the seeds of disaster.

In school, she caught the eye of someone said to be a young master from a major family in Shanghai. At first, this young master pursued her politely.

But after being rejected a few times, the young master grew impatient. Finally, one night, she was kidnapped by people he sent.

Since that day, her life became unbearably tragic.

She was raped, and explicit photos circulated throughout the school, with people pointing fingers at her every day.

Unable to bear the pressure anymore, she chose to end her life.

Xiao Tian listened quietly to Lei Jiajia’s account, without interrupting.

Beside him, Zhang Dongfang and others had started whispering as soon as Xiao Tian approached, talking about how Xiao Tian didn’t appreciate their status, and that he wouldn’t be let off.

"Eldest Young Master Zhang, it seems this kid doesn’t respect you at all!"

"Yeah, Young Master Zhang, he’s just a small-time officer, what’s he acting all high and mighty for?"

"Eldest Young Master Zhang, are you afraid of him?"

These people thrived on chaos and didn’t take Xiao Tian seriously at all, despite being from minor noble families themselves. They considered taking down a cop as child’s play.

"Damn it, this brat dares to ignore me? Today I’ll teach him just how red blood can be. If he can live independently for the rest of his life, I’ll take his surname!"

Zhang Dongfang, fueled by everyone’s words, was about to rush at Xiao Tian in anger.

Xiao Tian had already overheard the group’s murmurings. He shot them a cold glance, but paid no mind.

"It’s all in the past now, don’t dwell on it too much. If he bothers you again, just come find me and I’ll deal with him," Xiao Tian comforted Lei Jiajia.

Lei Jiajia smiled slightly but didn’t respond.

Just then, the door of the café was pushed open, and a person walked in.

When Lei Jiajia saw the newcomer, her face turned pale as if she’d seen something incredibly terrifying.

Zhang Dongfang and his gang, who were about to confront Xiao Tian, halted upon seeing Shi Cheng.

Compared to the Shi Family, their families were insignificant, so they immediately thought of currying favor with Shi Cheng.

By now, Zhang Dongfang had forgotten about Xiao Tian, focusing instead on getting closer to Shi Cheng.

Xiao Tian was seated with his back to the door, but seeing Lei Jiajia’s expression, he turned around curiously.

Standing at the door was a burly man; it was quite a coincidence—it was indeed Shi Cheng, the same guy Xiao Tian had previously beaten up.

"Is it that person?"

Lei Jiajia instinctively nodded her head, then, realizing something, turned to Xiao Tian with a sorrowful smile, "Xiao Tian, let it go. His background is too powerful for us to handle."

"Heh!" Xiao Tian gave Lei Jiajia a warm smile, then turned and called out to Shi Cheng, who was about to turn away, "Shi Cheng, come over here."

Shi Cheng, upon hearing Xiao Tian’s voice, froze as if subjected to some binding spell, then turned around miserably and walked towards Xiao Tian.

Shi Cheng’s first reaction upon seeing Xiao Tian was to get as far away as possible, but he was a step too late.

When he saw the girl beside Xiao Tian, his look turned even more bitter.

"Xiao, Xiao Tian, what do you want?" Shi Cheng asked, barely masking his fear.

"Kneel!" Xiao Tian commanded impassively, casting an indifferent glance at Shi Cheng.

"What?" Shi Cheng’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian didn’t answer; instead, he kicked Shi Cheng’s calf.

"Ah!" Shi Cheng screamed and involuntarily knelt down.

"I assume you know who she is, but even if you don’t, it doesn’t matter. Bow three times to her as an apology," Xiao Tian said in a calm voice, though there was a detectable anger.

Having gone through that, Shi Cheng realized if he didn’t bow, he’d likely receive another beating, painfully bowing three times towards Lei Jiajia, full of reluctance.

Everyone present at that moment was stunned.

Lei Jiajia widened her eyes in shock, looking between Shi Cheng and Xiao Tian, baffled at why Shi Cheng obeyed Xiao Tian’s commands.

As for Zhang Dongfang and his group, they were already dumbfounded when Shi Cheng walked towards Xiao Tian, a plethora of expletives swarming through their minds.

Could it be that this country bumpkin was secretly from some eminent family, feigning ignorance to catch others off guard?

"Xiao Tian, is that enough?" Shi Cheng asked through gritted teeth, looking venomously at Xiao Tian after bowing.

Xiao Tian did not reply, so Shi Cheng struggled to stand, limping away, but not before throwing Lei Jiajia a vicious glaring.

That look made Lei Jiajia feel a wave of fear wash over her.

Beside her, Xiao Tian clearly noticed and said coldly, "The matter between you and Lei Jiajia may be over, but ours is not."

"Xiao Tian, don’t go overboard! What score do we have to settle?"

Shi Cheng froze upon hearing Xiao Tian’s words.

If there was any score to settle, it would be the one you owe to the Shi Family!

You owe the Shi Family a life!

"We have no scores to settle?" Xiao Tian feigned contemplation, then said, "Perhaps nothing else, but you’ve scarred my innocent young heart with your hideousness, so we must have a proper talk."

Damn your innocent young heart!

Is your heart really that fragile?

A heart that kills without a blink?

Shi Cheng felt his anger rising, but didn’t dare to argue back.

Xiao Tian did not bother with Shi Cheng any further, and in an instant, flashed next to Shi Cheng and kicked him, sending him flying several meters.

Before Shi Cheng could hit the ground, Xiao Tian flashed over again and stomped on Shi Cheng’s balls.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by the sound of two eggs cracking, Shi Cheng screamed in agony.

Xiao Tian slowly crouched down, glaring at Shi Cheng with murderous intent, and said, "Now, you don’t have any thoughts of revenge in your heart, right? But even if you do, it doesn’t matter, I’m waiting for you!"

"No, I don’t dare!" Shi Cheng replied, gritting his teeth against the pain in his groin, his face pale and his forehead drenched in sweat, trembling as he answered.

"That’s better!" Xiao Tian sneered with an evil grin, then stood up and coldly said, "Get lost, and don’t show up in front of me again!"

Shi Cheng grimaced in pain, clutching his groin, hobbling out of the café like a stray dog.

At this moment, the place was silent, everyone staring dumbfounded at Xiao Tian, including a few office workers who were having coffee and recognized Shi Cheng, aware of his background.

They were all genuinely shocked by Xiao Tian.

That was the Young Master of the Shi Family!

How dare he?

Isn’t he afraid of reprisals from the Shi Family?

As for Zhang Dongfang and the others, they all shrank back, not daring to look Xiao Tian in the eye.

This guy dared to hit even Young Master Shi Cheng; if they went looking for trouble, wouldn’t they be asking for a beating?

Lei Jiajia, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Tian with a face of horror, and when Xiao Tian returned to her side, she quickly stepped forward, grabbing Xiao Tian’s arm anxiously and said:

"Xiao Tian, do you know whom you’ve messed with? You should leave, get out of here, leave Shanghai, he definitely won’t let you go."

"It’s alright, I’ve hit their family members before," Xiao Tian replied, unconcerned.

Not just hit, I’ve even killed one, and he was much more important than Shi Cheng.

As for those who heard Xiao Tian’s words, they all had the same thought running through their minds.

Did he mean the Shi Family they know? Wasn’t that just now really Young Master Shi Cheng from the Shi Family?

Xiao Tian checked his watch, realizing it was almost time for Lin Bingxuan to finish work, and then said to Lei Jiajia:

"Don’t worry, he doesn’t dare to mess with me, and if anyone troubles you, call me and I’ll deal with it."

After that, Xiao Tian wrote down a number for Lei Jiajia and then said to her, "You should head home early too. The past is gone, people should look forward. I have some business to handle, so I’ll go now."

After saying this, Xiao Tian turned and left, casting a glance at Zhang Dongfang and his companions before leaving.

With that single glance, Zhang Dongfang and the others felt a chill run through them, instinctively clamping their legs together, feeling a cold breeze pass through their groins.

This was a guy who crushed Shi Cheng’s balls; good thing they hadn’t done anything overly foolish earlier.

As for Zhang Dongfang, he began to worry. He was the one who had provoked earlier, and Xiao Tian surely heard him saying he wanted to show him some skills.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dongfang’s face turned pale.

"Hey, Car God, wait for me!"

Nie Lan had watched the whole display of Xiao Tian’s prowess with Shi Cheng, and now he was looking at Xiao Tian with stars in his eyes.

"Car God, who are you really?"

"Are you perhaps from a prestigious family?"

"Even Shi Cheng is scared of you!"

"You said you’ve hit more than just Shi Cheng from the Shi Family, who else have you hit?"

Nie Lan followed behind Xiao Tian, incessantly questioning.

"You’re so annoying! If you keep bothering me, I’ll spank you." Xiao Tian couldn’t hold back and threatened.

"Pfft! We’re on the street, if you dare to spank me, I’ll scream harassment!" Nie Lan rolled his eyes, then stuck out his tight little backside defiantly, "Come on, if you dare, give it a shot."

"Hey, I have a temper too, you think I won’t dare!"

Xiao Tian said it, and without a word, grabbed Nie Lan.

"Smack smack smack!"

His hand went up and came down, smacking Nie Lan’s bottom heavily a few times.

Nie Lan was completely dumbfounded!

He, he, he really dared to spank me in public!

"You rogue!" Nie Lan quickly escaped Xiao Tian’s grip, a blush covering his face, and exclaimed teasingly, then took off in a hurry.

Xiao Tian rolled his eyes!

I’m a rogue, and I’m proud!
