Chapter 0530: The Strong Girl

Generally speaking, faced with five armed robbers, an ordinary person would be scared stiff.

Even Zhao Fusheng and Zhang Qian, the moment they saw the reinforcements appear, were also taken aback. They exchanged glances, and Zhang Qian even had the thought of letting Zhao Fusheng escape first.

After all, in his view, his own life was cheap, and even if he got hurt, it wouldn't matter. But if something happened to Zhao Fusheng, he really wouldn't know how to explain it.

After all, today Grandpa had just entrusted the welfare home to Zhao Fusheng and told him to follow Zhao Fusheng. If Zhao Fusheng got injured in front of him within less than a day, Zhang Qian felt he might as well find a piece of tofu and smash himself to death.

Just as Zhang Qian was about to tell Zhao Fusheng to go first while he held the rear, Zhao Fusheng noticed the three people.

“Hmm, they look a bit familiar.” Zhao Fusheng blinked and said to Zhang Qian.

“Huh?”

Zhang Qian was startled, then frowned as he looked at them and nodded: “They do look familiar.”

While the two of them were talking, the others were also looking at them.

“Seems like that guy…”

“Which one?”

“The one from Central Hospital.”

“Damn!”

“It really is him!”

The three behind muttered among themselves, their expressions turning ugly.

There was no help for it; the impression Zhang Qian had left on them back then was too deep, almost a psychological shadow. Being knocked down with irresistible force—that feeling they would never forget in their lives.

“Ha, chase us, why don’t you?” The two who had run ahead didn’t have the awareness of the three behind. The leader, a blond, glared at Zhao Fusheng and laughed smugly.

In his view, with five of them on his side, all armed with knives, those two clueless guys were simply asking for death.

All the important decisions in life are often made in an instant.

Many people don’t understand the meaning of this sentence. To describe it in eight words: one thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell.

Hmm, some also think of eternity.

“What should we do?” Zhao Fusheng felt uncertain. After all, there were five opponents with knives. Even if he and Zhang Qian could fight, they were still flesh and blood. Zhao Fusheng didn’t mind acting chivalrously and bravely, but if it meant risking his life, sorry, he wasn’t that noble.

To put it selfishly, Zhao Fusheng had always believed that nothing was more important than his own life. If a person didn’t cherish their own life, they were either an idealist or brainless.

Heroes deserve respect, but Zhao Fusheng didn’t want to be a hero.

“It’s okay. I’ll hold them off first; you go.” Zhang Qian gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Fusheng.

With his fighting skills, if he were alone, he could naturally find a way to escape. But if Zhao Fusheng stayed, it wouldn’t be easy, because he would have to look after Zhao Fusheng as well.

Zhao Fusheng understood this reasoning. Although he was in good physical shape, he could at most handle two opponents. But since the other side had knives, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill. Neither he nor Zhang Qian was worth trading lives with those scumbags.

With that thought, just as Zhao Fusheng was about to turn and leave, someone rushed over from behind.

“You, you, give me back my bag!”

A girl in her twenties, panting, said to the five thugs.

“Huh?”

Zhao Fusheng and Zhang Qian were both stunned. Was this girl crazy? Now, including her, there were three of them against five, all with knives, and she boldly demanded they return her bag.

“Crazy woman, are you asking for death?” The blond standing in front leered. He noticed the girl seemed quite pretty.

People are always like this: once they make a mistake, they become wild. To be precise, they become increasingly unscrupulous.

Originally they only intended to rob, but now he suddenly felt that if they knocked down those two annoying guys, maybe he could have some fun with the girl.

Zhang Qian frowned. His upbringing wouldn’t allow him to watch a girl be bullied in front of him. Even Zhao Fusheng was ready: if the blond took another step closer, he would protect the girl even if it meant getting hurt today.

The girl didn’t seem to notice Zhao Fusheng and Zhang Qian’s reactions. She walked up to the blond: “Give me back my bag!”

The blond chuckled: “If I give you back your bag, will you come with me?”

“Come with you?” The girl looked puzzled, glanced at the blond: “Are you flirting with me?”

“Huh?” The blond was taken aback, then laughed: “Yeah, you could say that.”

“Hmm, that’s fine then.” The girl muttered to herself.

Zhao Fusheng was wondering what she meant by that when, the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded before him.

Bang!

The blond, over 1.7 meters tall, was kicked in the stomach by the girl and flew backward, crashing into another companion who hadn’t reacted in time, knocking him to the ground.

Zhao Fusheng was stunned, but Zhang Qian was even more shocked. As an insider, he knew that kick was clean and efficient—no frills, with impeccable power and accuracy.

In other words, it could rival a classic scene in a movie: a petite girl suddenly unleashing tremendous force to kick an adult man flying.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Even the thugs stared in disbelief at the scene, let alone Zhao Fusheng and Zhang Qian.

Zhao Fusheng even thought he might be hallucinating, because that scene was just too incredible.

“You! You! You!”

The thugs were completely broken. The one next to the blond initially wanted to rush up and avenge his partner, but the person behind him grabbed him and whispered a few words in his ear.

He looked up, surprised, at Zhang Qian and Zhao Fusheng: “It’s them?”

“Yeah, it’s him.”

His accomplice pointed at Zhang Qian, his face full of fear.

No kidding. The memory of that night would probably never leave their minds. In just over ten seconds, three of them were beaten without any chance to fight back. If Zhang Qian hadn’t intended to hurt them, they’d all be in bed for half a year.

“Then what are we waiting for? Run!”

The thugs turned and fled without a second thought. No kidding, with two fighters among the three, and one who could take on three alone, why would they stay and get beaten?

Glancing at the forgotten blond still groaning in pain, Zhao Fusheng shook his head helplessly, took out his phone, and dialed the police: “This is Xilin Park. There’s been a robbery. One robber is injured. The address is…”

Regardless of how surprised the police on the other end were, Zhao Fusheng hung up after giving the address.

Then he walked over to the blond, looked down at him: “Hmm, how are you?”

“I…” The blond couldn’t even finish a sentence; his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

Zhao Fusheng was dumbfounded: “This…”

He really hadn’t expected the guy to be so badly injured. Was that woman a humanoid tyrannosaurus? One kick and she knocked the blond out like that.

“Thank you.”

The girl had already retrieved her bag and said politely to Zhao Fusheng and Zhang Qian.

Looking at the petite girl before them, Zhao Fusheng and Zhang Qian exchanged glances, finding it hard to believe that she had delivered that blow.

“Um, have you practiced martial arts?” Zhang Qian hesitated before asking.

“Ah, I’ve been naturally strong since I was little, and I learned some self-defense from my family,” the girl said sheepishly. Then she asked Zhao Fusheng and Zhang Qian with some worry: “Um, I just came from the countryside. With him like this, am I in legal trouble?”

“No, no.” Zhao Fusheng quickly waved his hand: “This was self-defense; you don’t need to take responsibility. Besides, in that situation, there were only three of us and five of them with knives. If you hadn’t fought back, it would have been more dangerous.”

Hearing Zhao Fusheng’s words, the girl nodded with lingering fear and patted her chest: “That’s good, that’s good. The main thing is, I really don’t have the money to compensate him.”

Zhao Fusheng smiled wryly and suddenly felt that this strong girl seemed quite cute.
