Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 1176 - 690: Jiang Xiaosi’s Ruthless Pursuit (2 Updates)
The misty blue of the sky was replaced by gray haze, as the cold winter wind seemed fiercer.
The man kicked to the ground looked up at the man before him, slowly bending his knees and squatting down, yet still maintaining a condescending posture. Perhaps because of his bent posture, his throat was pressed, making his voice exceptionally hoarse and deep:
"Riding a motorcycle, what are you out here for?"
"Fo... Fourth Master..." It was his first time meeting him in person, and the man was so nervous he nearly died. Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chengsi suddenly raised his hand and slapped him on the head.
Caught off guard, his face hit the ground again with a muffled groan, blood surging from his nose.
"I asked you what you’re doing? Don’t give me any other nonsense."
"I..." The man was weighing his options, realizing he couldn’t afford to offend either side, stammering, unsure how to defend himself.
"Speak, why’s the bike going so fast, what are you up to?" Jiang Chengsi slapped his head again.
"It’s just... we saw there was no one around, and that girl is pretty, so..."
"You got some lecherous thoughts?" Jiang Chengsi figured it was either a biker gang stealing stuff or teasing a girl, not bothering to think too much, like if there was someone behind them.
Hearing they were about to tease a girl, he raised his hand and struck his head fiercely, "Quite bold, in broad daylight, who gave you the guts?"
"Fourth Master?"
"I asked you a question, who gave you the guts!" Jiang Chengsi’s voice was low, his higher stance adding an irrefutable intimidation.
"We just got greedy and wanted to snatch the bag, not tease her."
"Robbing both beauty and property? Quite the nerve!"
...
This man hit his face on the ground several times, his head starting to spin.
He even felt he couldn’t hold on any longer, thinking Jiang Chengsi had seen through something, trying to figure out how not to offend anyone...
At this moment, another accomplice, who had just freed himself, twisted his arm, feeling slightly better, and saw himself bumping into Jiang Chengsi, his heart panicked.
He turned to run!
"Hey—" "Xiao Miss" frowned, wearing shoes with medium heels today, not convenient for chasing someone.
Jiang Chengsi raised his brows, watching the man fleeing with his arm protected, glancing at the man head-planted into the ground in front of him, patting his head, "Don’t run, if you do and I catch you later, it won’t be as simple as a kick."
The man’s head was on the ground, hardly daring to move.
Jiang Chengsi got up and chased after the fleeing accomplice. As he passed "Xiao Miss," she instinctively tried to stop him, couldn’t grasp his forearm, and grabbed his clothes instead...
"Fourth Master!"
"What’s up?"
"Caught one, that other one won’t get far, don’t chase the desperate." You never know if the person has a dagger or something on them.
"It’s fine." Jiang Chengsi noticed her blood-red palm out of the corner of his eye, a result of the struggle while grabbing the bag, leaving friction marks. His eyes tightened, "There’s someone on duty at the neighborhood entrance, go find them and report it, I’ll be right back."
Jiang Chengsi patted the back of her hand, her fingers relaxed, and he chased after the person who fled.
The man who ran away saw no one was chasing him and thought himself saved, slowing his pace a bit, rubbing his elbow while thinking which way to run, cursing that damn woman in his heart...
Raised his hand and removed his helmet, throwing it aside.
With the helmet on, even breathing was difficult.
He was pondering which way to run when he heard footsteps behind him and suddenly turned his head.
Saw Jiang Chengsi chasing after him, his head exploded!
This damn...
How did he catch up!
Jiang Chengsi’s long legs and feet, not injured, ran extremely fast.
Especially those eyes, a fierce gaze like a wind with blood, exuding a savage aura, he was hesitating which way to run, scared into a chill, before he took a couple of steps, a hand grabbed him by the back of the neck.
"You dare to run?"
The guy instinctively raised his arm, wanting to shake off Jiang Chengsi, never expecting a straight punch right to his face!
Jiang Chengsi’s skills came entirely from learning from Huo Qinqi, quick and ruthless, crisp and efficient.
The man kept screaming miserably, his face quickly smeared with blood.
This scene drew attention from passersby, most didn’t want to get involved, but some parked and stopped, not knowing what happened, still came forward to make peace.
If this beating went on, seemed like it might cost a life.
"Young man, calm down, let’s talk this out!" The first to step forward was an old man, urgently going up to pull Jiang Chengsi away.
Jiang Chengsi would surely throw the old man down if he lifted his arm, but suppressed his anger and withdrew his fists.
The man, who was beaten to the point of dizziness, finally got relief, took a deep breath, and wiped the blood off the tip of his nose. Without looking in the mirror, he knew his face must be covered in bruises.
Seeing Jiang Chengsi being stopped by someone, he wanted to run away.
Without any warning—
Jiang Chengsi lifted his foot and kicked the man in the chest.
He had already been kicked once earlier, and now with this kick added, he staggered, staggered backward, and fell to the ground.
"Alright, young man, if you keep hitting, there’s going to be trouble. Why can’t you just talk it out?"
"Old man, it’s not that I want to resort to violence, but this bastard needs a beating. Speeding and harassing girls, and then trying to escape, can I not hit him?" Jiang Chengsi said, clearly still upset, with a tone that had a hint of anger.
"Harassing a girl?" The old man was taken aback, "Call the police."
"We did call the police."
"Where is the girl? How is she?" The old man was evidently very concerned.
"She’s on another street..."
The old man seemed uneasy about letting Jiang Chengsi just drag the man away. He felt that Jiang Chengsi had a violent streak, and if the man fell into his hands alone, he might be beaten to death.
Harassing a girl indeed deserves a beating, but it’s important to control the extent of it, as there are many cases where injuring or disabling someone backfires!
**
At the gate of a community a couple of streets away, the local police had already arrived. A man with a heavy motorbike, with his hands on his head, was squatting by the wall, while the police were taking a statement from "Miss Xiao".
The first thing they asked about, naturally, was her personal identity information.
The officer responsible for taking notes hesitated for quite some time after she stated her name.
"You are..."
"I don’t want my family to know about this, and I don’t want others to know that I’ve been through this, so please..."
The police investigation wouldn’t give her any special treatment because of her identity. However, as she was the victim, and given her identity, a minor issue might escalate into a big deal.
The main thing is, this is their jurisdiction, and such a vile incident occurring just before the New Year is not something they want to make a big deal of. Since Miss Si wants to keep it low-key, they naturally go along with it and do her this favor.
"We understand, don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone." The policeman nodded. "By the way, you mentioned there were two people, where is the other one?"
"My friend went to chase him."
"Your friend? Alone?" The policeman frowned, "That’s reckless."
These thugs, when cornered, can become dangerous.
"Which way did they run?" The police prepared to chase after them and see.
"It’s this way..." She just raised her hand, pointing in a direction, when she saw Jiang Chengsi appearing in her view.
He wasn’t wearing a coat, and his figure looked particularly thin in the cold wind, while the person who had just run away walked ahead, staggering along with an old man.
The officer seemed never to have expected that the friend Miss Si mentioned would be Jiang Fourth Master!
Jiang Chengsi was quite well-known in Beijing, always riding his motorbike around. He was a focus of attention for the police and traffic cops, but he always obeyed the law and never sped indoors.
Nevertheless, almost no one in the entire police force didn’t recognize him.
The officer looked at Jiang Chengsi and then at the low-profile Miss Si beside him, a bit confused about the situation.
But it’s quite normal for these high-society families to have private connections. They were just there to handle the incident, and as for their private matters, they had no authority to inquire.
The two claimed the handbag theft was just a spur-of-the-moment plan, wanting to grab some money for the New Year.
The police took it as an ordinary case and held the two for processing.
They informed the two that if the situation required their cooperation for investigation, or if there was any progress in the case, they would contact them promptly.
**
After seeing off the police and the old man, Jiang Chengsi turned his head to look at the person beside him...
They locked eyes, one filled with scrutiny, the other with innocence.
"I didn’t expect to encounter something like this just after returning to Beijing. Really bad luck." She probably didn’t expect anyone to approach her in such a despicable way.
"Let’s get in the car first." Jiang Chengsi took the souvenir gift bag and shoulder bag from her hand, then walked to the car door and opened the passenger side for her.
"Thank you." The car door opened, and she saw the packaging bag on the passenger seat, which must be holding clothes. She picked up the clothing and sat down.
Jiang Chengsi closed the door, got into the car himself, and kept looking her over.
This girl...
Really had many things he didn’t know about.
