Chapter 1720 - 938: Beyond the Line_2
Dong Qingfeng gestured with his hand: "About this long knife, how long do I have to practice martial arts to beat him?"
The tough coach recalled the past: "About seven or eight years ago, I left the military and opened a restaurant. Two drunkards came in to cause trouble, and one of them tried to flirt with my girlfriend, the other had a knife."
Dong Qingfeng’s eyes lit up, it matched perfectly! And the difficulty was even higher!
He wanted to improve his fighting skills because he was worried about encountering the same situation again. Dong Qingfeng admitted that the Happiness Seeker’s principle of retreat was correct, but the frustration in his heart couldn’t be dispelled.
"What happened then?" he asked.
The tough coach smiled, speaking calmly: "I told him there was surveillance in the store, and the police would see his actions. Then he left."
Dong Qingfeng felt disappointed and asked again: "What if a fight had broken out?"
The tough coach joked: "I have an 80% chance..."
Dong Qingfeng was excited: "You’d win?"
"No, I have an 80% chance now I should be in elementary school."
Dong Qingfeng: "..."
The coach said: "Brother, practicing martial arts is not to fight, but to strengthen your physique and enhance your masculinity. Remember! Don’t fight unless necessary."
"Even if you can fight, don’t do it easily. You might defeat one or two, but can you take on seven or eight? Plus, it’s hard to guarantee you’ll be unharmed."
The big brother spoke sincerely, Dong Qingfeng: "What if I’m exceptionally talented?"
The coach laughed: "Then you can try practicing for a month."
Dong Qingfeng had a good family background. He thought it over for a while, and realizing the receptionist was pretty, he reluctantly shelled out two thousand four hundred, buying 12 sessions.
...
After eating, Xin Youling continued riding Jiang Ning’s bike.
Xin Youling asked: "That cat is really cute, do you plan on getting one?"
"Getting a cat?" Jiang Ning had discussed this with Xue Yuantong before.
Xue Yuantong said having a cat was too troublesome; you have to care for its food and drink, help it bathe and trim its nails, and get it vaccinated. Plus, once you have a cat, fur is everywhere, and if the cat gets sick, you spend a lot of money. So, it’s better to enjoy others’ pets, like the big wolf dog next door, Ba Wang.
Of course, most importantly, Xue Yuantong thought cats don’t live as long as her.
If the cat dies, she’d be really sad, and she can’t split her lifespan with a cat, can she?
Jiang Ning: "Too troublesome, I’m still a student."
"Oh, okay." Xin Youling continued riding.
It was the time for school and work commutes, the road was crowded, taxis were blocked, only electric bikes could move with ease.
At this moment, the superiority of electric bikes was maximized; a yellow-haired guy rode an electric bike with a tattooed girl, when he saw Xin Youling riding with Jiang Ning, he couldn’t help but glance a few more times.
Xin Youling showed no expression, she always ignored people like this.
Jiang Ning called from the back: "Bro, the girl’s pretty, show us a wheelie!"
Xin Youling was befuddled, momentarily unable to tell who was the yellow-haired punk!
"Yours isn’t bad either!" The yellow-haired punk chuckled, gripping the handlebars tightly, and suddenly lifted them.
However, he didn’t control the strength well, flipping over with the bike, and the tattooed girl popped out like equipment.
The yellow-haired punk picked up his shoes from the ground while running back to his bike, ignoring the tattooed girl entirely.
Xin Youling couldn’t help but laugh.
Jiang Ning commented: "A very smooth roll-up, he must’ve practiced street dance."
Xin Youling didn’t stop, she rode for another minute or so, then turned, arriving in front of a park.
She parked her bike and suddenly noticed a familiar old man’s recreational vehicle.
The next moment, memories surged into Xin Youling’s mind. A few days ago, she was hit in reverse by this old man’s vehicle. The other party was unreasonable, but eventually, the evidence was conclusive, and they were punished.
’How can there be such a coincidence?’ While shocked, Xin Youling also felt a vague shadow rise in her heart.
She told herself it might just be coincidental.
Xin Youling took out the cat stick she had specially bought, calling "Meow" in the bushes nearby, but after calling for two or three minutes, no cats appeared.
Jiang Ning stepped deeper into another bush: "It should be here."
Xin Youling held the cat stick again, calling urgently, and perhaps due to her urgency, a cow-patterned cat popped its head out.
Then, Xin Youling’s pupils shrank, the kitten was dragging twisted hind legs, struggling to move out of the bushes, its front paws gripping the ground tightly due to the effort.
"What’s wrong with you?" Xin Youling’s voice trembled slightly.
When she was most down these days, she met this kitten. It had a great personality, wasn’t afraid of people, and she’d been feeding it every afternoon and evening lately.
Jiang Ning wasn’t much of a pet lover, he looked at the kitten’s twisted hind legs and said: "Broken by humans, it won’t live long."
For a disabled stray cat, surviving outside is difficult, especially with broken hind legs.
Xin Youling stared at the kitten, almost talking to herself: "It never showed aggression, when I first fed it some sausages, it let me pet it, why treat it this way?"
In the end, her tone was somewhat bewildered.
At this point, a Sweater Aunt got out of the nearby old man’s recreational vehicle, walked up to Xin Youling with a face full of satisfaction: "Girl, want me to compensate?"
"Was it you?" Xin Youling stared at her.
Sweater Aunt pretended surprise: "I didn’t say I did it!"
"Was it you?" Xin Youling straightened up, staring intently at her.
"Girl, you want to hit me? Then I’ll just lie down!" Sweater Aunt held her waist.
Xin Youling stared at her, almost gritting her teeth: "You hit my bike and falsely accused me in front of the police, and I only made you pay 100 bucks, actually fixing it costs at least 300 bucks."
"Heh, heartless!" Xin Youling said word by word.
Sweater Aunt sneered: "What can you do to me?"
"Hit me? Then I’ll just lie down!" Sweater Aunt was fearless.
Xin Youling picked up her phone to call the police, but abusing stray cats isn’t illegal as many stray cats are actually considered pests, so there’s only moral condemnation.
Thus, her request for police intervention was refused.
Jiang Ning didn’t speak, he didn’t care for stray cat lives but agreed with the phrase: ’You can kill, but you can’t abuse.’
Sweater Aunt glanced at them, then pointed at Jiang Ning, spitting on the ground:
"You better be careful!"
She hadn’t forgotten, a few days ago, this brat was the reason the video was adjusted, making her pay compensation, and the planned repair money was gone.
Xin Youling shook with anger but didn’t dare act.
From childhood, all her proud moments were almost destroyed.
Jiang Ning: "You point at me again, I’ll sue you for provocation."
Sweater Aunt was unconcerned: "There’s no camera around, sue me, go ahead, sue! Studying has messed up your head..."
"No surveillance and you still act tough?"
Jiang Ning raised his foot, kicking Sweater Aunt, the massive force folded her into an arc, flying two meters away, hitting the pavement like a sack.
Xin Youling watched, feeling extreme joy at first.
Then, instantly doused with cold water, replaced by fear: ’Isn’t he afraid of the consequences?’
Jiang Ning glanced at the old woman coughing up blood and said to Xin Youling: "See, behaving now?"
He didn’t use much force, otherwise, he would’ve scared the innocent student with her scattered limbs.
Xin Youling’s mind was in turmoil: "What if she calls the police?"
She looked at the crowd gathering to watch.
Jiang Ning was indifferent: "There’s no surveillance, why worry? Take your cat, let’s go."
Xin Youling quickly got on the bike, fleeing with a mess of thoughts.
She knew all too well how powerful modern investigative methods were; they couldn’t escape legal punishment!
