227: Chapter 225 Li Jie’s Sister 227: Chapter 225 Li Jie’s Sister “Stop, don’t run!”
A clamor of shouting echoed through the air as a group of about ten students chased a man and a woman down the street.
The couple was desperately running ahead while the group relentlessly pursued them.
This scene drew curious glances from passersby, who were unsure of what was happening.
“Hmm, isn’t that Li Jie?” Liu Shanshan frowned, her face showing a trace of alarm.
The man running in front was none other than Li Jie.
Upon hearing Liu Shanshan’s words, Tangyu looked up and sure enough, it was Li Jie being chased again.
Coincidentally, the last time he was here, he had been chased by gangsters, and now he was being pursued by a bunch of youthful-looking students.
However, unlike the last time, this time Li Jie was holding the hand of a decent-looking girl.
This made Tangyu pause, wondering if Li Jie had been flirting with a Donglin University girl and was now being chased by a jealous rival.
But Tangyu didn’t ponder further; saving them was urgent.
He stood up and walked toward them.
Seeing Tangyu stand, their companion immediately followed, with Xu Hu and Liu Shanshan also getting up and following.
Tangyu reached the road and stopped Li Jie and the girl, who showed a flash of surprise on seeing Tangyu before a trace of relief appeared.
Li Jie knew Tangyu’s strength, as he had rescued him from a gangster’s attack the last time.
With Tangyu’s help, there was no need to run anymore.
The girl Li Jie was holding was also panting heavily, her chest heaving.
She curiously eyed Tangyu.
However, Tangyu was too occupied to entertain her curiosity, instead turning his attention to the group of student-looking youths who had also caught up.
His comrades directly blocked the group, causing them to stop.
Tangyu scrutinized the group – all in their early twenties, well-dressed, with some even looking rich and aristocratic, clearly from wealthy families.
“What, you want to stand up for him?” A young man dressed in a white Fan Sizhe leisure suit scanned Tangyu’s group coldly and fixated his gaze on Liu Shanshan, pausing for a moment.
Ignoring the young man’s cold question, Tangyu turned to Li Jie, “Li Jie, what’s going on?”
Li Jie’s face twisted uncomfortably as he gritted his teeth and explained, “It’s nothing much.
He wanted to take my sister to a bar, and I caught him in the act.
I refused to let my sister go with him, so he pushed me.
I pushed him back hard, knocking him to the ground, and then I ran with my sister.
Then, they called people to chase after me.”
“Your sister?” Tangyu glanced at the girl, now understanding the situation.
“I’ll handle this.” Facing the group, he said, “We are indeed standing up for them.
Just by looking, I can tell you guys are trouble.
If I had a sister, I’d never let her associate with you.
My advice for you—stop messing with my friend’s sister, and then you can leave.”
“Hmph, ridiculous,” the man in white laughed coldly, a malicious look flashing in his eyes as he retorted, “Such a big mouth, but what are you really?
Daring to order me around?
Stay out of business that doesn’t concern you.
My affairs are not for you to meddle in.
If you don’t want to get beaten, just scram.
No one gets to boss me around.”
“Naive brat, so full of yourself to talk to my boss like that, seems like you really need a beating,” their companion sneered, rushing at the man in white like a tiger descending from the mountain, his momentum immense and imposing like a human tank barreling forward.
The young man in white was so intimidated by the force that he involuntarily stepped back, but his retreat was no match for their friend’s speed.
In a swift move, he reached the man and hoisted him up single-handedly in mid-air.
The man’s face turned pale as he found himself powerless to resist, suspended in the air, unable to find leverage, merely fumbling at their companion’s thick arm to no avail.
The other young men were stunned, gazing at their friend in amazement, marveling at his immense strength as he effortlessly held a grown man weighing over 130 pounds single-handedly in mid-air.
Li Jie’s eyes also flickered with a surge of surprise.
Many onlookers gaped in shock, forming O-shaped mouths, with quite a few even pulling out their phones to take photos.
“Cool it, let him down,” Tangyu said, believing this wasn’t serious enough to escalate.
While he wasn’t afraid of making things bigger, this situation had stemmed from Li Jie and his sister, and they wouldn’t withstand retaliation.
Hence, Tangyu chose to de-escalate.
Their friend complied, albeit reluctantly, setting the man down.
Back on his feet, the white-clad man stepped back and shot a wary look at their companion.
“Fine, you’ve had your fun today, but I’ll settle this score with you later,” he glanced threateningly at Tangyu as he spoke, then stormed off with his group, waving them off in annoyance.
Tangyu wasn’t particularly concerned about the threats, as long as these people didn’t bother Li Jie anymore.
“Tangyu, you saved me again, I really don’t know how to thank you.
And thank you to these two friends as well.” Li Jie said gratefully.
Tangyu replied, “No need to be polite, we just happened to be there, how could we ignore it?” Tangyu’s gaze fell on Li Jie’s sister, and suddenly he remembered, this face looked familiar, yes, the young girl who had been spiked with Ecstasy Pills at Brother Hu’s KTV that night with Guo Momo and the others.
He hadn’t expected that this young girl was actually Li Jie’s sister, what a coincidence indeed.
“So it was you.
I didn’t realize you were Li Jie’s sister,” Tangyu said.
Li Jie’s sister had clearly recognized Tangyu earlier and nodded, “Yes, it’s me.
I didn’t expect you to be my brother’s friend.
I didn’t even thank you last time.”
Speaking of Li Jie’s sister, Tangyu didn’t have much fondness for her, too rebellious and naive.
If she hadn’t lacked self-discipline to protect herself, how would she have ended up being taken to KTV to be spiked with Ecstasy Pills?
And this time, she was mingling with some bad students again.
Honestly, Tangyu really couldn’t feel good about such a disobedient girl.
Li Jie also looked at his sister, then turned to Tangyu and asked, “Tangyu, what’s this about?
You saved my sister last time?”
“Oh, it’s nothing big, brother, just don’t ask anymore,” Li Jie’s sister quickly said, giving Tangyu a pleading look, hoping he wouldn’t reveal it.
However, Tangyu didn’t heed her look and told Li Jie, “When you have time, you really should keep a closer watch on your sister.
She’s always hanging out with these bad students, and it’s bound to lead to serious trouble eventually.
Last time, if not for me, she might have lost her life.
Your sister is too rebellious; she needs some strict discipline.”
Li Jie’s expression immediately darkened, aware of the significance in Tangyu’s words, clearly, something serious had happened.
He glared at his sister who immediately lowered her head, like a guilty child.
She bit her lip, her eyes glimmering with tears.
Tangyu glanced at Li Jie’s sister then continued, “Last time, she took Ecstasy Pills.
Although they’re not heroin, they still fall under narcotics.
Frequent use can lead to addiction, and once addicted, it’s troublesome.
If she continues to lack discipline and mixes with those people, she’s bound to run into major trouble.”
“You—” Li Jie was so angry that his whole body trembled as he glared at his sister, raising his hand as if to slap her, but his hand stopped mid-air and never came down.
His face muscles twitched, and his teeth were clashing, clearly furious.
“Ah.” Li Jie’s sister also shrank back in fear, closing her eyes.
It was apparent, albeit rebellious, she did listen to Li Jie, behaving rather obediently in front of him.
“Brother, I know I was wrong.
Last time, I was deceived by them.
I really didn’t know it was Ecstasy Pills.
And today, they provoked me, so that’s why I went out with them,” Li Jie’s sister quickly admitted her mistake.
Tangyu patted Li Jie on the shoulder, “Forget it, hitting her is pointless.
Take her home and do some serious reflecting.
If possible, it might be best to keep her out of school for a while, keep her away from those people, it might help.
You’re busy and can’t watch her all the time.
She’s still young, at the age where rebellion is natural, making mistakes is forgivable as long as she’s willing to correct them.
That’s what makes a good child.”
Li Jie’s eyes also glistened, a man his size almost shedding tears.
He sighed wearily and lowered his hand, telling Tangyu, “Tangyu, thank you so much, and thank you for letting me know about this situation.
Otherwise, I would still be in the dark.
I will properly educate her once we get back.”
“Okay, you guys go ahead,” Tangyu nodded.
“Alright.” Li Jie nodded, then took his sister and left.
Li Jie’s sister turned back to look at Tangyu several times, her eyes flickering with an indeterminate expression, unsure if it was resentment or gratitude.
Tangyu shook his head and remarked, “These young girls today, really, I don’t know whether to say they’re too easy to deceive, or just too foolish and rebellious.”
Xu Hu laughed, “Brother Tangyu, you’ve seen too little.
I’ve seen a lot of these situations.
These college students nowadays, really too chaotic and rebellious; they’re capable of doing anything.
But this sister of Li Jie’s isn’t too bad; rebellious, but I can tell she’s essentially not a bad person, just too easily deceived.
Tell your friend to be more patient with her, she should be able to get back on the right path.
Forget it, let’s continue our drink, have some barbecue; there’s never a dull moment, ha ha, it helps fuel our drinking mood.”
“Right,” Tangyu nodded, glancing at Liu Shanshan.
Liu Shanshan noticed Tangyu looking at her, and said, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Heh, I was just thinking, in the midst of such chaotic universities today, it’s really rare to find someone as pure and untainted as you,” Tangyu chuckled.
“Not really, it’s not as scary as you say.
There are quite a few students like that, but there are also many good students,” Liu Shanshan smiled.
