As soon as Ji uttered those words, they attracted the attention of several mall employees nearby.
They knew Ji Xian.
After all, Ji Xian had come to see his girlfriend Song Shuhui a few times before, so they naturally remembered him.
An employee walked over with a smile and said, "You're looking for Song Shuhui? She resigned a long time ago and doesn't work here anymore."
"Ah, she's not here anymore?" Ji Xian hadn't expected this.
"Yes, they're not here anymore."
Ji Xian's initially high spirits immediately waned.
He just wanted to show off in front of his ex-girlfriend.
In the end, it was all for naught.
Suddenly, he felt utterly bored.
Ji Xian paid the bill with droopy eyelids and left.
He put the extra clothes at home, and before it got dark, he went out again and went straight to the bathhouse.
I took a relaxing bath and then enjoyed a massage.
After his massage, he didn't go to see the free song and dance performance offered by the bathhouse. He found it too noisy; in his current mood, he preferred solitude and tranquility.
Leaving the bathhouse, I strolled alone on the dimly lit street.
He suddenly realized that before, when he had no money, he dreamed of having money and then spent it every day.
But now that he has money, he suddenly doesn't know how to spend it.
He suspected that he might have developed mental health issues.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a woman's voice.
"Don't come any closer, I'm going to scream for help."
Then several sleazy-sounding voices said, "Go ahead and shout, let's see who dares to save you."
"There's hardly anyone here to begin with. And even if there were, with so many of us, who would dare come to rescue you?"
"You'd better come with us obediently."
Upon hearing these conversations, Ji Xian immediately understood what was going on.
This is your chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.
Ji Xian immediately rushed towards the sound.
"Let go of that girl!"
In the past, Ji Xian would have preferred to avoid trouble and would have stayed far away. But now it's different. He has used gene enhancement drugs and feels that he is terrifyingly strong.
With such a strong body, it would be a waste to do nothing, so he didn't hesitate to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
Ji Xian's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at him.
These thugs were dumbfounded. There were eight of them, and someone actually dared to cause them trouble.
At this moment, not only were these thugs and hooligans bewildered, but Ji Xian was also stunned.
Because he saw that the woman being held hostage was actually an old acquaintance of his—his ex-girlfriend, Song Shuhui.
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to discover it right there in the dim light... at the place where it was kidnapped.
Ji Xian suddenly regretted his impulsive actions. What did it have to do with him that his ex-girlfriend was in trouble? He should have just watched the show and then intervened when she was in the most danger.
Having already attracted attention, Ji Xian had no choice but to continue: "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare you defy the woman's will and forcibly abduct a woman in the street? Do you know that this is a crime?"
"What are you talking about? We're doing our business, what's it to you?" said the burly man who was leading the group.
"Big brother, stop wasting your breath on him. Let's beat him up together, and he'll behave."
"Yeah, they're really asking for trouble."
The thugs, while they were talking, had already come up before their boss could even speak.
"Kid, you want to be a hero and save a damsel in distress? Try saving one yourself."
"Kid, try shouting 'Hero saves the damsel in distress' again."
These thugs came up to Ji Xian and started groping and pushing him.
Ji Xian didn't exert any force and let them push and shove him a few times.
Ji Xian said, "Since I have already intervened, I hope you will give me face and let this matter drop today."
"Who are you? Why should we give you face?"
"We're going to take that woman. Who cares about you?"
"You're hilarious, kid. Have you never been beaten up before?"
As he spoke, a thug placed his arm below and, with a forceful punch, landed a blow on Ji Xian's abdomen.
These thugs are experienced. Once this punch lands, Ji Xian will definitely feel the pain and bend over. Then the others can beat him however they want, ensuring that the kid has no power to resist.
But to everyone's surprise, Ji Xian was prepared. He tightened his abdominal muscles, and the thug's punch felt like it had hit a rock.
Ji Xian, however, acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Well, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
Ji Xian grabbed the hand of the boxer, twisted his arm forcefully, and dislocated the man's hand, causing him to scream in pain.
Upon seeing this, the others also threw punches, raining blows on Ji Xian.
Ji Xian nimbly dodged and threw a punch at each of them with his backhand.
The gene-enhancing drug not only strengthens muscles, but also makes Ji Xian's reaction speed several times faster than that of an ordinary person.
At this moment, he punched the thugs one by one, without needing any skill at all. In the blink of an eye, the thugs were all beaten and curled up on the ground like shrimp.
The gang leader, seeing his underlings all beaten down, looked at Ji Xian with fear in his eyes.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone so skilled in combat.
Ji Xian smiled and walked step by step toward the gang leader.
"Don't come any closer! What are you going to do?" the gang leader said in alarm.
"What are you doing? If you're going to flirt with a girl, you should be prepared to be disciplined," Ji Xian said jokingly.
"I didn't flirt with any girls, I just wanted to collect a debt."
Ji Xian paused in his steps: "Collecting debts?"
"Yeah, this woman owes us money and won't pay it back. Our boss said that if she doesn't pay back the money, we'll drag her out and make her pay it back with her body."
