Well, even the most heinous murderers deserve a chance to defend themselves.
Moreover, back then, Zhang Hui and his gang didn't even get the chance to do anything to Yun Yi. Even though the Yun family thought Zhang Hui deserved to die, in the end, it was just a light punishment.
Four years had passed. Maybe Zhang Hui had behaved well in prison and was released early.
But no matter what, Yun Que'er despised Zhang Hui.
Looking at his current frivolous demeanor, there was no sign of self - reform.
Yun Que'er originally wanted to scold Zhang Hui, but then thought it wasn't worth wasting her breath on such a petty person.
She was about to pretend not to see him and urge Ji Chengxuan to ride the bike quickly to school.
But Zhang Hui had other ideas. Seeing that Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan were about to leave, he swaggered up with a leering look.
"Little girl, it's only been a few years. Don't you even recognize your Brother Hui?"
Yun Que'er felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She forced back the churning in her stomach and glared at Zhang Hui.
"Let's go."
Ji Chengxuan also gave Zhang Hui a disgusted look and stepped on the bike, ready to leave.
"Wait."
Zhang Hui blocked their way.
"What's the rush? There's still plenty of time."
"Please get out of the way," Yun Que'er said seriously. "We're going to school."
"Tsk tsk, what's so good about going to school? When I was your age, I was already out making money. Besides, what's the use of a girl like you reading so many books? In the end, you'll still have to get married and take care of your husband and children at home. If I were you, I'd find a good partner early and get married."
Yun Que'er sneered.
She didn't want to say much at first, but since Zhang Hui was so shameless as to provoke her, she wouldn't hold back.
"You're wrong," Yun Que'er said coldly. "The amount of knowledge a person has determines how far they can go. The farther they go, the broader their horizons will be, and they won't say things like you do."
Zhang Hui curled his lips slightly. "That's all nonsense. What decent girl talks like you, all high - falutin'? I'm an experienced person. I've been through all this. Listen to me, you won't go wrong."
Yun Que'er wanted to laugh. This was the first time she'd heard someone justify feudal thinking so oddly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Yun Que'er lowered her head, with the corners of her mouth raised high, an obvious mockery.
"So, this is the difference between you and me."
Zhang Hui was stunned. Yun Que'er gave Ji Chengxuan a push and told him to leave quickly.
Watching them pass by, Zhang Hui suddenly understood. He rushed up and kicked the bike wheel hard.
Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan didn't expect Zhang Hui to do this. They were instantly sent flying.
Ji Chengxuan reacted quickly. The moment his body left the bike, he grabbed Yun Que'er and used his body to cushion her fall. They hugged each other and rolled to a big tree nearby.
"Yun Que'er! Are you okay?"
Ji Chengxuan helped Yun Que'er sit up slowly. Seeing her covering her head, his heart tightened. He quickly pulled her hand away and saw a big bump on her forehead, red and swollen. She must have hit the tree just now.
"Are you crazy!" Ji Chengxuan was furious.
Hitting one's head was no small matter. Yun Que'er was lucky. She only had a swollen bump.
If it had been more serious, she might have died on the spot.
Zhang Hui laughed. "Oh, you're really protective of her, huh?"
He slowly bent down. "I said, Miss Yun. You talk so much about righteousness, but it doesn't seem like that to me. You've already found your sweetheart, haven't you? Why are you still being so stubborn?"
Ji Chengxuan was fuming. "Are you crazy? What we do has nothing to do with you! You dared to kick our bike. Do you want to go back to prison for a few more years?"
Zhang Hui grinned. "Kicking your bike is already light. Who told this little girl to be so sharp - tongued? She even dared to laugh at me for being uneducated. Well, even if I'm uneducated, I live a hundred times better than you. Don't try to lecture me with those high - sounding words. Let me tell you, those nonsense words don't work on me."
"I really don't need to argue with you," Yun Que'er said, suppressing her dizziness. "A person as morally corrupt as you will never listen to others! Enjoy your life, but be careful. You got out after four years this time, but next time might be different!"
"Stinky bitch, you dare to curse me!" Zhang Hui was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He raised his foot and was about to kick Yun Que'er.
Ji Chengxuan suddenly stood up and quickly blocked in front of Yun Que'er. He grabbed Zhang Hui's ankle with his bare hands.
"You really like this little girl," Zhang Hui sneered. "If you really like her, marry her quickly. What's the point of going to school? Teach her what the three obediences and four virtues are!"
Ji Chengxuan was so angry that he laughed. "Yun Que'er is right. You're just a morally corrupt villain."
He tightened his grip on Zhang Hui's ankle. "Don't blame me for not warning you. If you dare to lay a hand on Yun Que'er again, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Zhang Hui was a head taller than Ji Chengxuan. Even though Ji Chengxuan was gripping tightly, Zhang Hui only felt his skin tighten. It didn't hurt him at all.
Zhang Hui thought even less of Ji Chengxuan. "Tsk, are you trying to play the hero saving the beauty here? It's a pity, little brother. You're still too inexperienced. Don't blame me for not warning you. Let go of me now. Maybe I'll go easy on you when I beat you later and won't make you cry."
"Isn't it too early to say that?" Ji Chengxuan gave Zhang Hui a strange smile and moved his fingers slightly.
Zhang Hui's eyes widened instantly. His face gradually turned red, and finally, it was as red as pig liver. Only then did Zhang Hui let out a howl, louder and more miserable than a pig being slaughtered.
Yun Que'er slowly stood up, holding on to the tree, and looked at Zhang Hui coldly.
"We're indeed young. In terms of brute strength, we're no match for you. But don't forget, Ji Chengxuan's father used to be a doctor. He knows every acupuncture point on the human body very well."
Moreover, Ji Chengxuan's real ability was far beyond what Zhang Hui could imagine.
Ji Chengxuan looked at Zhang Hui contemptuously as he wailed. "Don't move around. If you make me angry again, I might just cripple your leg. Or... even take your life!"
"You two little bitches, let go of me quickly, or you'll be in trouble!"
Zhang Hui was still shouting recklessly.
Ji Chengxuan picked at his ear with an impatient look on his face.
"I see you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
As soon as he finished speaking, he increased the pressure on his hand. Zhang Hui let out two even more miserable howls.
"You're really serious!" Zhang Hui's eyes were red from the pain, and he didn't even know how to cry.
"Otherwise? Do you think I'm joking?" Ji Chengxuan tilted his head and looked at him.
"Let go of me quickly! Otherwise, I'll call the police and let you experience what it's like to be in prison!"
