Chapter 266: I’m Hurt

Shen Xi was on high alert and was aware that Young Master Fu was trailing behind her the moment she went out the door. She had no clue what Fu Qingxuan was up to by driving quietly behind her.

Without booking or hailing a cab, Shen Xi kept on running, making Fu Qingxuan wonder if she ever felt tired after jogging close to two miles.

He had never met such an oddball.

The girls he knew were pampered, whiny, and gasping for air after a short walk. He never took a fancy to these girls.

The last thing on Shen Xi’s mind would be her bumping into muggers.

Three brawny men appeared before her out of nowhere and threatened her with a knife while commanding her in their German-accent English, “Give us all your valuables.”

Looking at them, Shen Xi raised both her hands and let out a bloodthirsty smile.

She might consider doing as she was told if they had a gun but to rob her with a knife was a different story.

These men were experienced muggers. The leader held the knife at her and gestured the other two to search her body.

Furrowing her brows as her lashes fluttered, she gathered energy on her left leg and waited until they were close enough to deliver a fatal blow.

The muggers just made their way over.

Fu Qingxuan popped out of nowhere and pulled her away before engaging in a fight with the three thugs.

Shen Xi’s heart was filled with warmth but soon realized that the young master stood no chance against the hoodlums and in just a moment, he took a few punches to his face. With one of the thugs striking a knife mercilessly at him, Shen Xi stepped forth.

Seeing that a knife was heading his way, Fu Qingxuan cried out, “Go, quick!”

What happened next left him dumbfounded.

As agile as a leopard, the girl pounced and kicked the knife away from the thug’s hand.

Fu Qingxuan stared at her blankly. Although the girl appeared petite, skinny, and harmless, she was a bad*ss; executing each move with precision and ruthlessness. It did not take long before the muggers lay flat on the ground.

The thugs were quickly subdued by Shen Xi. It was not just the thugs, even Fu Qingxuan was blown away. Qingye never told him that she could fight for real. Judging by her moves, the mean girl must have gotten into a lot of fights.

Fu Qingxuan called the cops.

Shen Xi tied the muggers to a tree to prevent them from escaping.

Fu Qingxuan was bruised for taking two punches in the face and his left arm was cut when he tried to save Shen Xi. It was not a deep cut but it bled still.

Shen Xi gazed at him. “I have to get going. Wait here for the cops to arrive.”

Fu Qingxuan, “…”

The idiotic look on his face left Shen Xi worried. She enjoined him, “Wait in the car and lock the doors. Ram them with the car if they try to run away.”

The girl pointed at the three bounded thugs, giving them a cutthroat look while speaking in a language they did not understand. However, it was enough to send chills down their spine. Shaking, they lowered their heads so cowardly to even look at her.

Fu Qingxuan pulled her back furiously as she really was going to leave him. “I’m hurt.”

What a heartless girl. Was she not the least bit worried about him?
