So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Show Off Only If You Can
“Make way, make way!” The man with shades shouted as he ran.
Yang Ming frowned. He raised his head, stared coldly at the man with shades who sprinted toward him and stayed grounded at his position.
The man with shades also saw Yang Ming in front of him. Noticing how Yang Ming didn’t dodge away like the others, he was also shocked. Even though he had been a thief for a while now, he knew that there are few who would be a busybody, but a few didn’t mean none. He saw Yang Ming who was 180 cm tall and burly with dark skin staring at him. The man with shades felt a bit afraid! He didn’t dare to confront Yang Ming.
He couldn’t do much other than turn around when he was in front of Yang Ming. Since Yang Ming was in a bad mood, he didn’t want to be a busybody, but there was another person who didn’t think this way.
For example, Teacher Jin Gang. He thought that this was a golden opportunity to show off in front of Zhao Ying. He didn’t think that Yang Ming had any kind of charm that attracted Zhao Ying since there was a difference in age. Jin Gang thought that the only thing that moved Zhao Ying’s heart was when Yang Ming played the hero and saved the damsel in distress in the scenario that he set up.
Therefore Jin Gang had a misconception that Zhao Ying liked men who had a strong sense of justice because men like these were able to provide a sense of security. This wasn’t exactly wrong. Which woman wouldn’t like a man who provided a sense of security to her? But, providing a sense of security required a bit of a sacrifice.
Seeing the robbery, Jin Gang felt that his opportunity was here. This was a gift that was bestowed upon him. How would a sports coach not be able to settle this little brat?
But the man with the shades didn’t even care about Jin Gang. Even though he was a sports coach, he looked a bit too dwarfish. With his sleek hair and oily face, anyone would have thought him a sugar baby who belonged to those easily bullied weaklings.
I didn’t dare to mess with the strong man (Yang Ming) just now, but how would I not dare to mess with this sugar baby? The man with the shades got fired up. B****, how is it that today is such an unlucky day, with so many people who don’t have a pair of eyes. [1]
“Stand right there!” Jin Gang shouted with a cool stance.
“What do you want to do?” Noticing Jin Gang’s manner, Zhao Ying asked immediately. Zhao Ying was still a delicate girl. She didn’t like to get into trouble. From her few encounters with Yang Ming, we saw that she was inclined to avoid it as much as possible. “We still have to carry out our duty.”
But all Jin Gang did was to swing his hair in a cheesy way like the Water Margin’s hero, as he said, “We call out to those who were treated unfairly, and when it’s time for action we take action!” [2].
After he had finished his sentence, Jin Gang thought that Zhao Ying would be so charmed that her eyes would twinkle like stars, but he didn’t anticipate that Zhao Ying would frown instead. As a teacher, Zhao Ying didn’t want to promote the idea of stepping out courageously in crime. She taught her students to report to the police as soon as possible in this kind of situation, but she would never encourage them to get themselves into trouble.
Jin Gang didn’t notice the dissatisfaction in Zhao Ying’s eyes. Looking at Zhao Ying’s frown, he thought that she was worried for him. Therefore, Jin Gang felt his blood surging and rushed toward the man with shades.
The man with the shades was also not any kind of weakling. In this era, people who were involved in robberies wouldn’t be easily bullied! Especially like the man with shades who robbed and ran, their stamina would definitely be superior to most sports coaches.
Looking at the Jin Gang who was running toward him, the man with shades didn’t even stop. He pushed his knee into Jin Gang’s private part and kicked it as if it was nothing.
Jin Gang didn’t even notice it at the start. He wanted to punch the man with shades. Then suddenly, a huge pain surged up from his lower body to the point where he just bent down and couldn’t utter a sound.
Seeing how Jin Gang was beaten up, Zhao Ying could no longer stay aside. Even though she didn’t like Jin Gang’s personality, they were colleagues and came out together. Therefore, Zhao Ying still tried to dissuade him, “Alright, stop fighting… I am going to report to the police…”
The man with the shade had clearly shown a strong sense of dissatisfaction toward other people who meddled in his affairs. After Jin Gang knelt down on the ground, the robber still used his knee to smash into Jin Gang’s right face like a madman.
“Little girl, stop meddling around. If you continue to create trouble, I will beat you up too!” The man with the shades reached a certain level of anger. As he finished his sentence, he started to push Zhao Ying.
“Yang Ming, hurry and go bring Teacher Zhao away. I have already reported to the police…” Chen Mengyan took out the cell phone she had recently bought and dialed the police hotline.
Yang Ming couldn’t care less about Jin Gang, but he couldn’t ignore Zhao Ying. Jin Gang deserved it if he got beaten to death, but Zhao Ying… Yang Ming wasn’t willing to let her receive any bit of harm.
Even without Chen Mengyan’s words, Yang Ming had already walked toward the man with shades. D***head I have already let you go once, yet you are now disturbing my Sister Ying, and want to beat her? Then I am sorry, I will beat you first.
Yang Ming just went over and grabbed the hair of the man with shades and lifted him up. “Do you want to go to hell?”
The man with shades was still enjoying striking Jin Gang with his knee. All of a sudden, he felt a lightness in his body and his feet left the ground. Right after that, he felt excruciating pain on his scalp like it was going to be torn apart.
“Let go now!” The man with shades shouted loudly. He felt that if he weren’t let go sooner, his scalp would have been torn away from his body.
Yang Ming kicked the butt of the man with shades. The man tumbled and fell to the ground holding his head.
“Sister Ying, are you okay?” Yang Ming asked with concern.
“Fine… I am fine. Jin Gang, he…” Zhao Ying asked with concern looking at Jin Gang who was kneeling on the floor and looking pretty scary…
Noticing how Zhao Ying had started to care for Jin Gang, Yang Ming’s heart felt a sense of sourness. He said coldly, “He won’t die. Trying to be a bada** with no strength amounts to that. He is completely a dumba**.”
When Chen Mengyan called the police, the police command center had already received the police report from the other people in the crowd too. They told Chen Mengyan that they had dispatched their forces. Indeed, not long after that, a police car drove over. Two policemen came from the car and started investigating the situation. Yang Ming, Zhao Ying, and Chen Mengyan were the witnesses, so they were automatically the main people who were investigated.
But, Jin Gang was injured. One of the policemen first contacted the ambulance, then Zhao Ying accompanied Jin Gang to the hospital, leaving only Yang Ming with Chen Mengyan there.
Yang Ming described the main points of the incident, and everyone else also saw that the man with shades was obviously the robber. Therefore, Yang Ming was then logically the hero again.
“Whose money is this?” A policeman took out a stack of cash from the pocket of the man with shades. There were over a thousand yuan. He held it in his hand and asked the crowd.
Looking at how no one answered, the policeman frowned. The police hoped that the victim would come forward. But reality hadn’t always been the case. Many victims were afraid that the robber would remember them and come back for revenge in the future. They would rather not have the money and concealed their identities.
“This was my money. What are you guys doing? The police had started to capture innocent people!” Seeing that no one answered, the man with shades felt rather proud and started to shout that he was innocent.
Yang Ming also frowned. He didn’t know what to do either.
At this moment, a weak young lady with white shorts squeezed out from the crowd that gathered as bystanders. She ran in front of the policeman and said as she panted, “It’s me. He robbed my money.”
For this past month, Lin Zhiyun tutored junior high students and earned over a thousand yuan. Today was the day that her father was getting discharged from the hospital. She prepared to buy a new set of shirts for her father, but she never thought that right after she took out a thousand yuan from the ATM at the bank entrance, a man with shades would snatch the money once she turned around. Lin Zhiyun wanted to chase for it, but she couldn’t catch up to him. She was a girl who wasn’t able to run as fast as a man, let alone a professional robber. After running for a while, Lin Zhiyun ran out of breath.
After she rushed here, she heard that the police was asking about it. Therefore, she quickly pushed through the crowd and came over.
The man with shades was feeling very reluctant about seeing how this girl dared to claim that she was robbed in front of him. Therefore, he gave this girl a glare, threatening her to shut up.
D***head, what the heck are you doing there? Looking at how the man with shades still dared to throw a glare at her, Yang Ming stared at him, “What are you glaring at?”
The policeman had also noticed the little gesture from the man with shades. He warned him too, “You’d better be honest with me!”
Once Yang Ming saw that it was Lin Zhiyun, he was stunned. Wasn’t this the familiar girl who he had seen on the train last time? Hehe, she was the victim. Maybe I can get to know her name this way.
Realizing that Yang Ming defeated the man with shades, she was also stunned. Then she couldn’t help but sigh, Why did I always meet him? Was it so difficult for me to let go of that past?
When Lin Zhiyun noticed Chen Mengyan clinging beside Yang Ming, she didn’t know why but her heart was filled with sourness. The inner world of girls was truly magical. She totally thought that she didn’t want to have any connection with Yang Ming, and yet she didn’t want to see him together with other girls.
“Is this your money?” The policeman broke Lin Zhiyun’s chain of thought, and she nodded immediately.
“Yes, it’s mine. It’s a total of one thousand yuan, and the withdrawal slip is still here…” As she finished, Lin Zhiyun took the withdrawal slip and handed it to the policeman who asked the question.
Chapter Notes:
[1] The robber was referring to all these people who didn’t dodge him – as if they do not have a pair of eyes to notice him.
