âOh, right.â Jixuan had been in a state of shock ever since he saw Jiang Xun, so much so that he had forgotten about such an important matter.
As Jixuan searched for their phones, he thought gloomily that he was probably even more of a fool in her eyes.
He obediently handed the phones he found to Jiang Xun.
â...â Jiang Xun looked at Jixuan with a complicated expression and said, âDo you think their phones are unlocked with fingerprints or facial recognition? If itâs unlocked with fingerprints, use their fingers to unlock it. If Itâs for facial recognition, put it in front of them so the phone can scan their faces.â
â... I know how to unlock them,â Jixuan said. Did Jiang Xun really think he was an idiot? SHeâd explained what to do as if he was a toddler!
Jiang Xun glanced at the phone that Jixuan had handed to her. âHehe.â
When she compared him with the three former bullies in Wenping High School, she could definitely say that those three were much smarter than Jixuan was. They wouldnât have needed her to tell them what to do.
Jixuan remained silent.
His performance just now was indeed like that of a fool.
He lowered his head and unlocked the gangstersâ phones, all the while inwardly cursing himself. He had to perform well from now on and change Jiang Xunâs impression of him.
After unlocking the phones, Jixuan deleted the videos they had of him without Jiang Xunâs prompting.
âTake a look at their chat records with you, especially the parts that threatened you and the money records. Take a screenshot and send it to your phone. This is all evidence,âJiang Xun said. âThis also goes for the chat records on your end. Keep them.â
Jixuan quickly nodded. âI will.â
He quickly took a screenshot of these chat records and saved them.
âAlright, call the police,âJiang Xun said. âThis is extortion. According to criminal law, if the amount of extortion is large or there are multiple instances of extortion, they will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years and a fine. If the amount extorted is large or if there are other serious circumstances, they will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years, but not more than 10 years and a fine.â
âTheyâve been blackmailing you for a while, and not only that, youâre Jiang Chengyeâs only son, so they must have been able to extort a lot from you,âJiang Xun said. âThey wonât be getting off with a light sentence.â
The two people who were trampled under Jiang Xunâs feet were already trembling with fear when they heard her words.
âDonât...Donât call the police...â the man with the rough voice begged for mercy. He had no choice; he couldnât beat her in a battle of fists, let alone wits. âWeâll return all the money to him. Donât call the police.â
The man with the arrogant voice completely dropped his act as he cried and begged for mercy. âPlease donât call the police. We donât want to go to jail. Weâll return all the money to him. Weâll find a way to return what weâve spent to him.â
âYes, yes!â The man with a rough voice cried even as Jiang Xun continued to step on him. He said with difficulty, âWe wonât dare to blackmail Jixuan anymore. We know weâre in the wrong.â
âHurry up and call the police. What are you waiting for?â Jiang Xun said with a dark face, âEven if you donât blackmail Jixuan here, youâll still blackmail others. And how else are you going to get back the money youâve already spent? Wouldnât it be from even more extortion?!!â
The two of them cried. How did Jiang Xun know so much?
âWeâll work, weâll earn money, and we wonât extort others,â said the man with a rough voice. âItâs just that...Itâs just that the speed of repayment might be slower...â
Jixuan listened to them silently.
It turned out that when they said that they were going to pay him back, they were really planning to extort others.
âWeâre in the wrong! Please donât call the police,â cried the man with a rough voice.
[ Merit Points + 4]
Jiang Xun let out a low hum and said to the system, âThey didnât apologize to me, so why did they give me Merit Points?â
The system explained, âThey did apologize to you because you were the one who insisted on calling the police. They could also see that Jixuan would listen to you. If you said that you wouldnât call the police, Jixuan wouldnât call the police. Therefore, the person they wanted to apologize to was you.â
âI see.â
She recalled that the two of them had indeed apologized four times.
But was she someone who wouldnât call the police just because they apologized?
Of course not!
Seeing that Jixuan was actually in a daze, Jiang Xun urged, âWhat are you still standing there for? Call the police!â
âOh, okay.â Jixuan had thought that she would let them off because theyâd apologized so sincerely. But now, he didnât ask any more questions and simply did as Jiang Xun bade.
When the two gangsters saw that there was no salvaging their situation, they immediately felt like they were drowning in despair.
Regret. Utter regret.
Why did they blackmail Jixuan?
âWhy didnât you just call the police for such a thing?â Jiang Xun said to Jixuan in disgust. âThe chat record on your phone is evidence. The video of them blackmailing you will be investigated and deleted by the police when they arrive. How would they have the chance to spread it in your school?â
Jixuan usually acted like he was smart, but in the end, he was really only smart on a surface level.
Jixuan suddenly froze at her words.
â¦When she said it like that, it was such a simple matter.
He had been caught off guard by the blackmailing at that time, and had been so arrogant that he didnât even think of such a simple method.
The police arrived very quickly. One of them knew Jiang Xun.
When he saw that it was Jiang Xun, he immediately smiled. âRecently, the security in the capital has been better than before. Even thieves and perverts donât dare to come out. I didnât expect you to catch someone who was actively breaking the law.â
What kind of physique did Jiang Xun have to take down people as burly as these men?
Because of Jiang Xun, they didnât have to rush out as much recently.
The police took a statement from Jiang Xun and Jixuan as usual. Jixuan submitted all the evidence to the police.
âWe will check if they have any other backup videos and wipe them out. Donât worry,â the police assured him.
Jixuan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. He felt a sense of security that he had never felt before.
The policethen?left with the two gangsters.
âLetâs go,â Jiang Xun said nonchalantly and walked out of the alley by herself.
âJiang Xun!â He called out to her.
Jiang Xun turned around and saw a complicated expression on his face. âThank you.â
She waved her hand nonchalantly and left, leaving him behind.
She still had to continue collecting Merit Pointsâno, to uphold justice.
Jixuan kept looking at Jiang Xunâs back.
He had been blackmailed by those two thugs and did not dare to tell anyone, including Feng Nianzhen and Yuexi.
This matter had been weighing down on his heart all this time until he felt as if he would go mad, and today, heâd been driven into a corner by those two hooligans.
He never expected that just when he was in despair, Jiang Xun would appear and save him.
