Bai Duanduan doesnât know why she wasnât allowed to get out, so she tapped the car window violently. Ji Lin only gave her a condescending look before he turned his head away. His face was indifferent as he looked at the man blocking the car and his eyes were stoic as he began to untie his cuffs.
From Ji Linâs stance, was he going to do it himself?
But didnât this man just ask herself, the woman, to go up?
Was that okay?
Now like a cannibalistic flower suddenly protected in a greenhouse, Bai Duanduan could only look out through the car window, but this cannibalistic flower herself was worried about Ji Lin. Although with his tall stature and long legs Ji Lin usually looks like a well-dressed beast in a suit and shoes and war of words was not a problem for him, but it doesnât look like he could fightâ¦..
Bai Duanduan began to desperately pat on the window glass, âForget it, Ji Lin, quickly open the door lock and leave it to me!â
As a result, it was better if she hadnât pat, but once she did, Ji Lin gave her another warning look.
The man was surrounded by a dozen or so unpleasant-looking, strapping youngsters, yet there was not even a hint of panic on his face, as if he was at ease wherever he was.
Bai Duanduan had only one thought in mind â Ji Lin, Ji Lin, donât pretend to be a fighter or youâll be struck by lightning! Even if itâs a one-on-one fight, Ji Lin doesnât seem to be a match for that kind of drunkard!
Probably her own gaze was too burning, after speaking to the other party for a few moments, Ji Lin finally turned his head to look at Bai Duanduan again. Then he took off his jacket with a grim expression and draped it over the windshield of the car to cover Bai Duanduanâs dumbfounded eyes.
â¦â¦
The only thing that was left in Bai Duanduanâs eyes was the black colour of Ji Linâs suit, and because Ji Lin and the drunken man were standing right in front of the car, and Bai Duanduan was locked in the car, there was no way to see what was going on outside once her view was blocked by the suit.
And after a short minute, Bai Duanduan finally heard a voice from outside.
âJi Lin, take a hit from my stick!â
Along with the drunkardâs angry roar, what followed was â
Bangâ¦â¦
With her own vast experience, the sound was very recognisable â it was the sound of a human body falling to the ground after being hit.
Was it Ji Lin who had been struck?
Bai Duanduanâs heart seized up for a moment. She was locked in the car and fidgeting. Obviously just now she was inwardly slandering Ji Lin, the dog man, for letting herself go up to fight, but now she hated herself for not being outside.
And after that loud âbangâ, just when Bai Duanduan thought there was going to be an intense fight, or at least a death struggle, there was no more soundâ¦..
Although she knew that Ji Lin was probably a novice fighter, thisâ¦â¦ was too novice!
At least it should take a long time to tangle with the opponent before he should fall!
But this turns out to be a deadly move! Ji Lin went down straight away! That drunken man didnât look that powerful! He was even older than Ji Lin, and he was still drunk. If sheâd gone up by herself, heâd have fallen over long ago!
Itâs just that Ji Lin has collapsed, and he didnât even made any noise. She was afraid that if he passed out, sheâd still be locked in the car. Wouldnât she have to call the police and smash the windows to get out later? After that she will have to carry Ji Lin to the hospital.
He doesnât look too light, could she carry him by herself? If she smashed his carâs window, would he claim damages from her again? And the most important thing wasâ
What happened to Ji Lin outside the car?
Bai Duanduan was usually a decisive person when dealing with cases, but at that moment, her mind was in a mess.
And just as she was completely clueless, a hand pulled open the car door accompanied by the sound of unlocking.
Bai Duanduan looked up in panic, and then bumped into a pair of calm eyes.
It was Ji Lin!
âAre you alright?â
Ji Linâs cold voice rang out almost simultaneously with Bai Duanduanâs, âLetâs go.â
Bai Duanduan was taken aback, and carefully observed Ji Linâs face and the skin exposed on the outside of the clothes, but found no trace of being beatenâ¦.
Ji Lin got out of the car again to take away the suit jacket that he had just used to cover the windshield, and only then did Bai Duanduanâs vision finally clear up â
The drunk man had disappearedâ¦.
Bai Duanduan immediately stepped out of the car door, and then saw the drunken man lying on the ground covering his head and moaningâ¦..
He was not unconscious, but his moaning was too weak. Ji Linâs car was well insulated so she didnât hear his weak moaning from inside the car.
Just looking at the person on the ground, and then looking at Ji Lin who was standing on the side, Bai Duanduan was truly puzzled.
âThis? You put himâ¦â¦â
Ji Lin looked at the ground with an impatient face and frowned, âI didnât do anything to him, I just threw a punch. Didnât he have a big mouth and wanted to fight me? He rushed up with a stick so fiercely, but I didnât even use ten percent of my strength, so how could he go down with just one punch? Was it all a fake set up to lure me for a one on one fight and then blackmail me for money later?â
After saying that, he looked at his right hand, âMy hand is all red and it is a bit uncomfortable punching him without boxing gloves.â
ââ¦.â
_____________
In the end, Ji Linâs punch made the other partyâs alcohol trance completely sober up and his professional negotiation skills made the other party give up his heart to continue to pester, and was slinkily helped away by the remaining few so-called brothers. After seeing all this, Ji Lin also cancelled the police alarmâ¦â¦
Subsequently the whole thing was dealt with and Bai Duanduan who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Ji Lin who was driving smoothly beside her, and was still somewhat insubstantial.
âYou put someone down with one punch?â
Ji Lin frowned, âYouâve already asked me five times. Are you a repetition machine? Also let me correct you on one point, donât make it sound like I was in an illegal and disorderly fight. I was acting in self-defense.â
âItâs either thatâ¦.. orâ¦â¦â Bai Duanduan weighed her words, âYou donât look like the kind of guy whoâs good at solving problems with force? And you know how to box?â
âYeah, itâs true that I wasnât good at it before.â Ji Lin stared ahead without squinting, but his voice did take on a slightly unnatural tone, âI enrolled in boxing classes not long before.â
Bai Duanduan was in awe. If she hadnât been brought up to learn sparring and grappling herself, she wouldnât have learned it. Itâs amazing that someone like Ji Lin, who was so busy during the day, still insisted on practicing boxing in his spare time and was so good at it.
âCan I ask, for what reason did you learn to box?â
It was quite a common question, yet Ji Lin looked a little uncomfortable and he said with some annoyance, âAre you doing due diligence? So many questions. Do I have to report to you as to why I learned boxing?â
Alright, alright, sheâs not going to ask anymore, okay? In modern society, we all understand that even if the mind was already very sick, the body still needs to be healthy! You need to exercise more to strengthen your body!
However, there was one more question that Bai Duanduan was still very confused about, âOne last question! Why did you lock me in the car just now? I thought you didnât want me to see you get beaten up so you blocked my view, but arenât you a good fighter? Why didnât you let me see your heroic action? Orâ¦â¦â
Bai Duanduan blinked, âWere you trying to â¦â¦ protect me from internal trauma? Like you think itâs bad to let a young girl like me see a bloody and violent brawl scene?â
This time Ji Lin finally gave Bai Duanduan a sideways glance. His expression was calm and his tone seemed natural. He just coughed slightly and then almost immediately denied it, âIâm protecting you? Youâre really thinking too much, Iâm just standing in the shoes of a fellow male, looking down and taking pity on your future husband.â
âHuh?â
âI hope you will watch less violent fights, imitate less, be less domestically violent towards your future husband and engage in less domestic battering activities to avoid affecting the physical and mental health of your future children.â
ââ¦â¦â
Bai Duanduan was simply furious to the point of tearing the walls, âWould I do it with my future husband? Itâs simply impossible! With my force level, I can absolutely suppress him! If he is a normal person and knew the difference in power between him and me, he wouldnât have the guts to try to fight me! Nor would he even try to piss me off! I am convinced that our relationship will be particularly strong and harmonious!â
ââ¦.â
âBesides, thatâs not what you just said! You also told me to go straight down and get involved in a bloody brawl!â Speaking of which, Bai Duanduan became curious again, âSo what made you change your mind?â
Ji Lin doesnât look like someone who could immediately find a conscienceâ¦..
Ji Lin looked more uncomfortable this time. He even looked a little grumpy at being pushed to the edge, but in the end, he answered the question, âI suddenly want to seize this opportunity to practice my boxing skills? Is there a problem? And Bai Duanduan, didnât you just say it was the last question? How come thereâs a question again?â
At this moment, he happened to encounter a red light, and Ji Lin obviously didnât want to pay any more attention to Bai Duanduan. He pursed his lips and took out his mobile phone and lowered his head to tap something quickly and almost at the same time, Bai Duanduan received an alert on her WeChat.
It was a transfer message.
Ji Lin had sent her a red packet of two hundred yuan.
Soon, the light turned green and Ji Lin put down his mobile phone and concentrated on driving. His expression was normal, not at all able to tell that he had just transferred money to herself.
Bai Duanduan looked at WeChat, unable to calm down for a long time. The iron rooster Ji Lin would actually send herself a red envelope. She was even a little touched for a moment, âThis red envelope, is it to compensate for my mental trauma and lost wages for being innocently involved in todayâs incident?â
Ji Lin calmly said, âItâs hush money.â
Was it hush money or was it similar to the extra income you get for being innocently involved in the incident?
Bai Duanduan immediately promised, âDonât worry, I wonât tell anyone about this, even ifâ¦..â
Ji Lin gave her a look, âIâm not talking about that kind of hush money.â
âHuh?â
âHereâs two hundred yuan for you, and donât talk to me again for the rest of the five-minute journey.â
ââ¦.â
The author has something to say:
As for the reason why our Partner Ji learned boxing, please refer to the context in chapter 2, hahahahaha
Partner Ji from that chapter: No, Iâm not embarrassed, Iâm not shy, absolutely not.
[Small Theatre]
After Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin announced their marriage at the law firm, everyone sent in wedding gifts:
Yang Fan: Partner Ji ! I heard that this golden pain medicine is very good! There is also this Yunnan Baiyao, a medicine for bruises and injuries. You keep it for future use. If you run out of it, ask me for it again!
Wang Fangfang: Partner Ji, this hemostatic patch is very useful!
Xiao Jing: Partner Ji, you deserve this bulletproof vest.
Ji Lin: â¦..
