Chapter 105 Bone Shrinking Technique
The two men were saying lewd things and laughing lewdly from time to time. Jiang Mi was so angry that she wanted to cut Yang Liu into a thousand pieces!
Jiang Mi suppressed her anger and tried to persuade the two men.
"So, do you want money or just a moment of pleasure? I'm not that good-looking. With money, you can have any woman you want."
The two men thought it made a lot of sense; there was indeed no need to give up a better life for a woman.
"How can we trust you? Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? What if we believe you and end up with nothing?"
Jiang Mi thought for a moment. Luckily, she had brought a fifty-tael silver note with her when she came out today, in case the village head needed money. So she said to the two men, "I have money on me. Untie me first. Anyway, I'm a girl, and you're men. I can't beat you, can I?"
One of the men agreed and said to the other, "She's right. Let's untie her first. Anyway, she can't escape our grasp."
The other person disagreed: "No, this woman is very fat. It took us so long to deal with her. What if something goes wrong? Besides, we can't be sure if she's really rich, or how much she has."
While the two men were struggling with their decision, Jiang Mi suddenly remembered that she had a system and immediately asked it for help.
"What should I do now? Do you have a way to untie me?"
Jiang Mi can use immense strength, but that strength will break the rope, which will also injure her.

Bone-shrinking technique? What is that?
Jiang Mi tried it out and immediately felt the rope loosen considerably. She used both hands to untie the rope behind her back, and the two men finally reached a conclusion after arguing.
"Hey, little girl, how much money do you have?"
While talking to distract them, Jiang Mi untied the ropes: "I only have a fifty-tael silver note on me right now, which I can give you as a deposit first. If you let me go, I'll give you another hundred taels later, how about it?"
The two men were incredulous: "How do you have so much money? A mere peasant woman, always talking about fifty or a hundred taels of silver. Do you think we're fools?"
"That's right. The person who hired us gave us twenty taels of silver. Don't even mention twenty taels, I bet it wasn't even one tael."
While they were arguing, Jiang Mi had already untied the rope. She then brazenly pulled out a hairpin from her hair and took out a rolled-up silver note from it, right in front of the two of them.
"Look carefully, this is fifty taels of silver. Open your dog eyes and look at me, who do you think you are?"
The two men were not sure whether to be shocked that Jiang Mi had untied the ropes, or shocked that she really had so much money.
Jiang Mi mocked them: "I gave you the chance to earn fifty taels, but you were useless, so you can't blame me."
The two men then realized what was happening. One tried to hold Jiang Mi down, while the other tried to snatch the silver notes from her hand. Unfortunately, they underestimated Jiang Mi's strength.
With a single, powerful thrust, Jiang Mi sent them all flying. The two men lay on the ground, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief as they stared at Jiang Mi.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside. Jiang Mi thought it was two men helping her and hurriedly tried to escape through the window, but someone kicked the door open and rushed in anxiously.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Mi realized it was Huo Ran!
"Why are you here?" Jiang Mi wanted to ask him how he knew she was here, but seeing the anxiety and worry in Huo Ran's eyes, she couldn't say anything.
"Are you alright?" Huo Ran anxiously looked Jiang Mi up and down. Seeing that she was fine, he turned his gaze to the two men lying on the ground, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy and terrifying!
Did they kidnap you?
Jiang Mi was stunned by the emotions in his eyes. When she heard him ask her a question, she came back to her senses: "Yes, but they were also hired. It seems that someone paid them to be hired."
Seeing Huo Ran's demeanor, the two men knelt down in fear: "We were just following orders, we were only after money, we didn't really want to harm this girl."
Jiang Mi snorted. She hadn't forgotten how those two men had tried to humiliate her. If it weren't for the system's help, she might have repeated the same mistakes she made in her previous life.
Huo Ran gave a look to the person behind him, and a guard immediately stepped forward and grabbed the two men.
Huo Ran looked at them coldly: "Tell me, who exactly ordered you?"
The two men trembled with fear, and at that moment they didn't care about anything else, so they had no choice but to reveal who was behind them.
"The person who directed us seems to be Miss Sun, the daughter of Magistrate Sun. Her nanny came to us and said that this girl had offended Miss Sun, and asked us to help 'take care' of this girl. If we succeeded, we would get twenty taels of silver."
"Hmph!" Huo Ran was furious. He kicked one of the men against the wall. The man fell down and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The other person, seeing this scene, was so frightened that he wet himself and kept wailing, "Sir, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me, I will do anything you ask if you forgive me."
Seeing how useless the two men were, Huo Ran was too lazy to take action himself. He asked Jiang Mi, "Tell me, what should we do with these two? It's all up to you."
Jiang Mi stared blankly at Huo Ran. The Huo Ran she had met before was always polite and very classy. But ever since she saw him kill Magistrate Sun, and now he was treating these two men like this, she never expected Huo Ran to have such a ruthless and decisive side. He was truly awe-inspiring and admirable!
“I…” Jiang Mi glanced at the man and saw him pleading with her. Although she was furious, she was not harmed. If it were any other weak woman, she would have been killed by these two thieves long ago!
"Fine, I won't do anything to them. I'll just send them to the authorities and handle everything according to the law."
Huo Ran nodded, his appreciation for Jiang Mi growing even stronger. In important matters, although Jiang Mi might have personal grudges involved, she would never do anything illegal for her own selfish desires, which was truly admirable.
"Alright, then I'll do as you say. Cheng Xu, take these two people to the government office and follow all the procedures."
The program responded and ordered the two men to be tied up and taken away.
"Since this happened in the town, let's leave it to the village head to handle."
