The Ghost King thought Shen Xiu'er hadn't seen him and, raising an eyebrow, dashed over and grabbed the handlebars of her bicycle.
The vehicle immediately lost balance and tilted sharply to one side.
Lying on the ground, Shen Xiu'er's forehead was covered in black lines, her fists already itching...
"Little woman, why did you ignore me just now? Do you really want to attract my attention this way?"
Shen Xiu'er: "......" Insane!
(￣_,￣)
Seeing the Ghost King about to raise his paw to touch her face, Shen Xiu'er could no longer contain herself. She threw a punch at the Ghost King's face. Glancing around to confirm there were no cameras, Shen Xiu'er proceeded to beat him into a pulp...
Looking at the Ghost King lying on the ground, bewildered, Shen Xiu'er flicked away a strand of hair from her forehead, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and smeared it on her clothes and face. Then, she took out her phone and dialed the emergency number.
When the call was connected, Shen Xiu'er's voice was filled with feigned terror, "Officer! Help! I've encountered a bad guy!"
From the other end of the line, the officer's reassuring voice came through, "Little girl, don't panic. Tell uncle where you are..."
A little over ten minutes later, two police cars pulled up beside Shen Xiu'er.
A young female officer approached Shen Xiu'er, "Little sister, did you call the police?"
Shen Xiu'er immediately threw herself into the officer's arms, crying, "I... I was going out to buy groceries and heading home. On this road, he... he suddenly appeared and... and pushed me down..." her bicycle.
Glancing at the man on the ground gnashing his teeth in anger, Shen Xiu'er wiped away nonexistent tears and continued to sob, "I... I saw him trying to take advantage of me. I... I was scared. If I didn't resist, I'm afraid I would have been on the morning news the next day, so I... I instinctively fought back... Wuwuwu..."
Hearing this, the Ghost King: "......" Does your conscience not hurt saying that?
Finally, one police car took Shen Xiu'er home, and the other took the Ghost King to the police station.
Upon arriving at the Shen residence, the female officer looked at the house not far away and asked Shen Xiu'er doubtfully, "Little sister, do you live alone?"
Shen Xiu'er was stunned by the question, "No, I have an older sister, but she's not home. She's gone on a trip."
The female officer, hearing this, patted Shen Xiu'er's head sympathetically, "Okay, if you encounter danger again, remember to call us."
Shen Xiu'er nodded and got out of the car.
Watching the officer who rode her little electric scooter back for her behind the police car, Shen Xiu'er thanked him gratefully, "Thank you, officer."
"It's nothing. The little girl is very brave. If you encounter someone like that again, you did right to fight back!"
Shen Xiu'er's lips twitched, she nodded, and pushed her bike home.
After closing the door and parking her bike, Shen Xiu'er pushed open Ming Li's room door. Her eyes brimming with tears, she stood pitifully before Ming Li's bed.
Ming Li, who had been dozing off, suddenly felt two gazes fixed on her. The next second, she snapped her eyes open and met Shen Xiu'er's gaze.
Ming Li: "......What are you freaking out about?"
Shen Xiu'er: "......" (￣_￣|||)
