Chapter 62 - 62 Making A Scene at the Jadeite Tower
62 Making A Scene at the Jadeite Tower
Ji Shuisheng’s ink-black eyes were filled with fierceness as he looked coldly at the fighters present. His voice was not loud, but it carried a terrifying killing intent.
Aunt Mei trembled in pain. She finally knew that the man in front of her was a ruthless character. If she didn’t let him go, he would really kill her. She was already scared out of her wits by this man and didn’t dare to play any tricks. She ordered the thugs loudly, “Hurry up, put down the knife and bring the man out. Aiya, it hurts so much. Please spare my life!”
The thug also cursed Ji Shuisheng from the bottom of his heart. This man was not someone they could deal with. They could only put down their knives obediently and stabilize him first. Then, they would send someone to find the Lieutenant and ask him to arrest him.
Ji Shuisheng grabbed a knife and placed it on the old woman’s neck. The old woman was so frightened that her body stiffened and she did not dare to move.
The pimp got up from the ground. Ji Shuisheng’s throw just now had broken his waist and he was in so much pain that his head was covered in cold sweat. When he saw the old woman in Ji Shuisheng’s hands, he could not care about his own pain and quickly comforted Ji Shuisheng,
“I’ll bring her out now. Don’t hurt Aunt Mei.”
Ji Shuisheng looked at the pimp with a sullen face, not giving him a chance to delay. “Hurry up, my patience is limited. If I don’t see her by the time I count to a hundred, I’ll kill her.”
After Ji Shuisheng finished speaking, he brought the steel knife closer to the old woman’s throat. With just a little bit of force, it would be cut off. The old woman felt the fear of death and screamed, “No, don’t kill me. Bring him out, quickly.”
The old woman was so scared that she peed herself. The smell of urine filled the air. Her face was covered in snot and tears. Her screams were sharp and piercing. Ji Shuisheng was still expressionless and the knife in his hand was still at her throat.
This was the first time he had ever hit a woman. He would kill for Su Qing and his sister.
That feeling of anxiety made him go crazy. What man doesn’t hit a woman? You have to be ruthless to sinister villains, who cares if they are male or female?
“Check the numbers.”
Ji Shuisheng ordered the old woman in a deep voice to let her know that he was not joking.
The old woman was so scared that she couldn’t speak a complete sentence. She stammered for a long time after saying a “1.”
“Trying to buy time?”
Ji Shuisheng let out a sharp cry and the steel knife in his hand moved down with force. The old woman felt as if her throat had been slit and her eyes rolled upwards with difficulty in breathing. She was so frightened that she quickly began to count.
“123456…”
The old woman checked quickly and Ji Shuisheng would have killed him if he was a little slower.
When she reached 80, the thugs who went to bring people rushed over with more than a dozen young girls.
“They’re here, they’re all here.”
The pimp bowed to Ji Shuisheng and pointed to the dozen girls as he spoke.
Ji Shuisheng raised his eyes and looked over. He actually saw a familiar face among these girls. Juren Ding’s girls and concubines were all here!
The rest of the girls were also fleeing from the disaster and were all trembling in fear. When they saw Ji Shuisheng’s knife on the old woman’s neck, they acted as if they had seen their Savior and cried to Ji Shuisheng together, “Warrior, I beg you to save us.”
Ji Shuisheng searched through the girls twice but could not find his sister or Su Qing. His face was incredibly sullen and he held the knife in his hand even tighter, “You still dare to play tricks?”
He exerted a slight pressure in his hand, and the old woman screamed for help, “They’re all here. They’re really all here. If you don’t believe me, you can search for them. If I say something, I’ll be struck by lightning.”
The old woman made a vow. Her legs were shaking like noodles, and her makeup was smudged from crying. Her face was flushed with tears, and her facial features were displaced from their original positions due to fear. She looked very funny.
Ji Shuisheng didn’t believe her at all. These girls were far less beautiful than Su Qing and Xiaoying. It was probably the old woman who didn’t want to let them go. He asked those girls, “Are there any other girls who haven’t come out yet?”
“No, it’s just us. We’re all here.”
Juren Ding’s concubine looked at Ji Shuisheng with adoration in her eyes. Only by following such a strong man would she have a sense of security, so she boldly picked up on Ji Shuisheng’s words, hoping that he would notice her.
“I really don’t have any more. All the girls I caught are here.”
The old woman cried as she asked Ji Shuisheng,”Will I live to see tomorrow?”
When Ji Shuisheng heard that Ji Xiaoying and Su Qing were not here, he became even more anxious. Since they were not at the Jadeite Tower, they must be at the government office.
Ji Shuisheng was about to let the old woman go when he saw those pitiful girls looking at him helplessly. He frowned. Since he met them, he would save them all.
If they escaped, they could help him disperse some of the pursuers. Ji Shuisheng ordered the girls,
“You guys go first.”
Seeing that he was really willing to save them, those girls hurriedly thanked Ji Shuisheng for his blessings and supported each other as they ran out of the Jadeite Tower.
Only Scholar Ding’s concubine didn’t want to leave and still stood in place. She looked at Ji Shuisheng with fervent eyes.
“Benefactor, I’m willing to be your slave and serve you.”
“Get lost,” he said.
When Ji Shuisheng heard her shameless words, his face darkened even more. He scolded her sternly, which scared Scholar Ding’s concubine so much that she trembled all over. She no longer dared to run out of the door while tugging at her skirt.
When the old woman and the fighters saw that Ji Shuisheng had let go of the girls they had captured with great difficulty, they all felt heartache and pounded their chests, but no one dared to let out a fart.
Ji Shuisheng waited for a while. After making sure that the girls had gone far away, he picked up the steel knife, grabbed the old woman, and walked out of the door.
The fighters were chasing after her, but they didn’t dare to get close for fear of hurting the old woman.
Ji Shuisheng went out of the door of the Jadeite Tower and thought for a moment before returning. He brandished his steel knife in a circle, “All of you, pull off your belts and tie each other up.”
The old woman and the henchmen originally wanted to wait for Ji Shuisheng to leave before reporting to the county Magistrate, but they didn’t expect Ji Shuisheng to not give them the chance.
There were those who were stubborn and did not want to tie themselves up. Ji Shuisheng used a little force with the steel knife in his hand and saw blood flowing down from the old woman’s neck. The old woman was scared out of her wits and immediately shouted like a pig being slaughtered, “Hurry up and tie them up!”
Ji Shuisheng watched them tying each other up with cold eyes. In the end, the pimp was the only one who didn’t have anyone to help him tie him up. He held the belt and looked at Ji Shuisheng pitifully, “I can’t tie myself up.”
“You go.”
Ji Shuisheng gave the old woman a kick, causing her to stumble and fall flat on her face in front of the pimp. She was in so much pain that tears flew out of her eyes. Before she could cry out in pain, she heard Ji Shuisheng’s cold voice.
“Hurry up,” he said.
This sound was no less loud and frightening than a sudden clap of thunder. The old woman was so scared that she got up and went to tie up the pimp. Her hands were shaking so much that she couldn’t hold the rope properly She was afraid that Ji Shuisheng would stab her again, so she shakily tied up the pimp very firmly.
She was left alone. Ji Shuisheng directly stabbed the back of her neck, and the old woman fainted before she could even shout.
The girls upstairs were huddling up there, so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe. They watched helplessly as Ji Shuisheng left and they looked at each other.
“What do we do? Should we flee!?! Or report to the magistrate?”
