There were four of them, all of them street thugs.

He doesn't look very old, but he's got a thuggish air about him.

Pearl was famously beautiful in the shop, and they had long coveted her beauty, occasionally coming over to flirt with her.

After observing her, they found that Pearl didn't have a boyfriend and still lived there, so they didn't need to worry about her boyfriend coming to beat them up if they wanted to flirt with her.

They were surprised that the woman, who was usually cold to them, had just flirted with other men, making them feel that Pearl looked down on them.

So they all wanted to teach Pearl a lesson.

It would be best to drag her into the alley.

The group of men thought of going into the alley, and a wicked smile crept across their faces.

The four people surrounded the pearl.

"Pearl, we've been pursuing you for so long, how about we go out for a drink? It's on us."

Pearl refused, saying, "I have to go to work, so I won't go."

The four thugs wouldn't let her leave and even grabbed her hand, saying, "Let's go have a drink together. We're all so familiar with each other, so don't refuse us."

As he spoke, he tried to pull her away.

The others watched indifferently, and none of them came to help.

An older woman couldn't stand it and came over to stop her, saying, "She doesn't want to, please respect her wishes."

The four thugs shoved the old woman aside, yelling, "You old hag, what's it to you?"

The older woman was pushed and nearly fell.

Pearl quickly helped her up.

Because the movement of helping her up was a bit forceful, and she was wearing a short skirt, her fair thighs were suddenly exposed.

She was so frightened that she quickly covered her skirt.

The four thugs chuckled as they watched.

He whistled like a hooligan.

"Nice thighs!"

Pearl was disgusted by the four men's lewd gazes. She straightened her skirt and helped the older woman away.

Unexpectedly, four thugs followed behind her.

Sheng Jingheng glanced in the direction they left.

In the end, I followed them.

Pearl escorted the elderly woman to the intersection and told her to go home first.

The older woman glanced at the four thugs behind her, a little worried. "Why don't you come back with me?"

"Wait until they leave before going back?"

Pearl caught a glimpse of the person in the distance out of the corner of her eye and a smile curled at the corners of her lips.

He whispered to the older woman, "No need, someone will protect me."

The older woman asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Pearl whispered, "A very good man."

The woman immediately understood and burst into laughter.

"Okay, then I'll go inside and peek."

After saying that, he happily went inside.

They even opened the window to peek.

Pearl pretended not to see it and deliberately took a detour.

I wanted to avoid them.

As a result, four thugs chased after them from another alleyway.

The exit was blocked.

"Hey, beautiful, since you're off work, let's go grab a drink together."

Pearl snorted and turned to leave from the back.

Then two thugs walked over with smirks.

The four men surrounded her from the front and back. "Hey pretty girl, cooperate a little, we don't want to bully you."

He reached out to grab the pearl.

Pearl protested, "Don't touch me!"

Seeing that Sheng Jingheng had not yet arrived, she shouted as the four thugs were about to grab her.

"Help!"

She screamed pitifully, both of her hands held by four thugs.

She even took a sniff, exclaiming, "It smells so good!"

"Want to enjoy a fragrant aroma with your brother tonight?"

He chuckled, his smile lewd.

Pearl resisted, trying to shake off their hands, but they pushed their way in and tried to hug her.

"Come on, let your brother give you a kiss first."

That foul mouth was about to come closer.

Pearl cried out, "No!"

Before their lips could even meet, the thug let out a muffled groan.

He then collapsed to the ground.

It turned out that Sheng Jingheng had made a move, kicking the other party and sending the thug flying two meters away.

The remaining three thugs glared at him angrily, shouting, "Who are you?!"

"court death."

The three of them raised their fists together and swung them.

They want to attack Shengjing Heng.

Sheng Jingheng swept his leg across the room.

The three people's faces were swept away, and their faces contorted in pain.

Fall back one step.

"You brat, you're asking for it!"

The three of them, clutching their aching faces, rushed over again.

This time, Sheng Jingheng didn't hold back, raising his leg to kick all three of them in the chest.

He fell to the ground in pain.

My heart is aching slightly.

Another thug crept up from behind, intending to launch a sneak attack.

He raised a wooden stick and struck Shengjing Heng on the head.

Pearl shouted, "Watch out!"

As the stick swung down, Sheng Jingheng raised his fist.

The fist slammed into the wooden stick, and the stick broke.

The thug was startled.

Before he could react, a fist slammed into his face.

"ah!"

He felt as if his nose was broken.

Something liquid is flowing down.

A smear of blood came down from my nose.

He felt his head buzzing, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

"roll!"

The three thugs were terrified.

They hurriedly lifted the unconscious thug and ran away.

Pearl quickly grabbed his hand, "Is your hand alright?"

Such a big stick hit him, yet he didn't bleed at all. I wonder what his hands were made of.

Sheng Jingheng looked at the small hand in his hand and awkwardly pulled it away.

"I'm fine."

Pearl was still worried. "Go back and rub some medicine on your sprains and bruises. I have some in my dorm."

Sheng Jingheng didn't want to go, but she dragged him along.

"Come with me."

"If you don't come, I won't leave."

Sheng Jingheng stared at her, still wary of her.

He didn't leave, and neither did Pearl.
