Chapter 297: I won't pursue it for your sake

Shen Ci looked at Shi Kai. She had some impression of this person in her mind; when she took people to the Hengdian World Studios, this person was among them.

Seeing this, Duan Duan also spoke up to help: "Sister Ci, these kids didn't know it was your younger brother's bicycle beforehand, and look, Shi Kai has already disciplined them. Give them a chance."

Hearing this, Shen Ci looked at the three lackeys who had been beaten into pig heads. To be honest, it was truly a bit unbearable to look at.

Although she knew Shi Kai was doing this for her to see, being able to strike such a heavy blow meant that no matter how much anger she had in her heart, it had all dissipated.

"People are already like this, what else can I say?" Shen Ci said softly: "A few more hits and they might lose their lives. It's just a bicycle; it's not worth it."

They were all Brother Xizi's people, and their fear of her mostly stemmed from the relationship between her and her brother. Shen Ci didn't want to use her brother's deterrent power to intimidate and threaten the brothers working under him.

And these few younger ones had already received the lesson they deserved. Being beaten into this state would more or less make them remember.

Duan Duan smiled when he heard Shen Ci say this, then looked at Shi Kai, who was still stunned, and patted him: "What are you dazed for? Sister Ci isn't blaming you, why don't you hurry up and thank Sister Ci."

Shi Kai came back to his senses, hurriedly lowered his head, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Sister Ci!"

"Alright, this matter is over."

Shen Ci said, gently touching her younger brother's head: "Let's go home?"

Shen Xing had been terrified all night, but at this moment, he finally smiled and nodded vigorously at his sister.

He never dreamed that his sister would have such ability. These big-brother-level figures who others didn't dare to provoke had to nod and bow in front of his sister, not even daring to speak loudly.

"Sister Ci!"

Shi Kai suddenly called out to stop Shen Ci, with an expression of wanting to say something but stopping.

Shen Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at him with confusion.

Duan Duan on the side seemed to see Shi Kai's hesitation, so he spoke for him: "Sister Ci, can we speak aside?"

Shen Ci followed Duan Duan to a corner not far away, only to hear Duan Duan look at her and instruct: "These are extraordinary times. Brother Xizi has been very busy lately and has many things to deal with. He specifically instructed us to be honest lately and not cause trouble."

While speaking, he glanced at Shi Kai from afar and sighed: "So, Sister Ci, don't tell Brother Xizi about this. If Brother Xizi finds out, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Shen Ci smiled slightly and nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, I don't need to complain to my brother about this kind of thing. But what do you mean by the extraordinary times you just mentioned?"

"Don't ask, Sister Ci. I can't say too much about this." Duan Duan was very tight-lipped and indicated directly that he wouldn't say.

Shen Ci didn't make things difficult for him. Working under her brother, being tight-lipped was a must. Shen Ci knew she couldn't ask anything.

After the two finished talking and walked back, Duan Duan looked at Shi Kai and nodded slightly. Seeing this, Shi Kai felt a weight lift from his heart and took the initiative to say to Shen Ci: "Sister Ci, I'm very close to Second Middle School. If your younger brother encounters any trouble at school in the future, he can come to me at any time. I'll look after him for you."

Shen Ci stepped forward and put her arm around her younger brother's shoulder: "Did you hear that? You can come here to find Brother Kai if you have any trouble in the future."

Shen Xing nodded. Having witnessed his sister's power, his fear of these people had weakened significantly.

Just as they were about to leave, Pili, who hadn't spoken from beginning to end, suddenly walked toward Jin Dao.

Everyone showed a look of surprise. Jin Dao had an even stronger stress reaction, instinctively taking two steps back, his swollen eyes filled with fear as he looked at Pili.

However, Pili didn't say a word, just grabbed Jin Dao's already dislocated left arm and twisted and pushed it with quick and accurate technique.

"Ah..."

Jin Dao cried out in pain, but the next second, a clear "click" sound came from the bone connection of his arm, and the dislocated position had been restored.

The pain in his arm was instantly cleared. Jin Dao opened his mouth halfway, swallowing the scream he hadn't finished, and looked at Pili with both fear and shock.

Pili turned back to look at Shen Ci and said: "Obsessive-compulsive disorder. I can't stand seeing a dislocated arm dangling there."

Shen Ci laughed out loud when she heard this, then said to Duan Duan and Shi Kai: "We're leaving. Hurry up and take these people to the hospital to treat their wounds. It looks quite gruesome."

"Sister Ci, what about the compensation..."

Shen Ci waved her hand: "Forget it. They can't afford to pay anyway. I won't pursue this matter for your sake."

Hearing this, Shi Kai felt even more ashamed, but since Sister Ci had said so, he definitely had to accept this favor from her.

Sending Shen Ci and the others outside the billiard hall, Shi Kai finally saw the bicycle worth thousands.

Duan Duan took the initiative: "Is Sister Ci going back to school? I drove; shall I take you?"

"No need. You guys go do what you need to do."

Duan Duan nodded: "Alright then. If you have anything, send me a message. I'll be going first."

After Duan Duan left, Shi Kai also said goodbye to Shen Ci and took those lackeys to the hospital.

"Xing, I'm heading back too. I'll accompany you to the police station to withdraw the case tomorrow after school," Shi Jingming said in a low voice to Shen Xing.

Hearing this, Shen Xing nodded slightly: "Then ride slowly. See you tomorrow."

Shi Jingming looked at Shen Ci and Pili and also said: "Goodbye, sisters."

"Goodbye."

After Shi Jingming left, Shen Ci asked her younger brother: "Your classmate?"

Shen Xing said truthfully: "From the class next door."

Shen Ci raised her eyebrows but didn't ask further. After hailing a taxi, she called Shen Xing and Pili to get in: "Stay at home tonight."

Shen Jingjing had spent the whole day out with Deng Xiwen today, not only having afternoon tea at a high-end club but also buying many, many clothes, jewelry, and perfumes.

This could be considered the first time Shen Jingjing had spent money so lavishly, but the ability to spend money seemed to be a talent inherent to all women. She had been frugal for half her life and had always felt that even if she had money, she shouldn't spend it recklessly. But when she threw this idea to the back of her mind today, it was as if she had stepped into a brand-new world.

Spending money is quite refreshing!

Spending the money her daughter gave her is even more refreshing!

When Shen Ci and the others returned home and saw a pile of designer shopping bags on the sofa, they were shocked.

"Mom, did you go shopping?"

Shen Ci was both surprised and happy. Surprised that her mother had bought so many things, and they were all designer brands. Happy that her mother was finally willing to spend money on herself!

Shen Jingjing smiled and explained: "Lianxing's mother invited me out. At first, I was a bit reserved, but when I watched Lianxing's mother pick out clothes and jewelry she liked and pay for them, my heart seemed to open up all of a sudden. I was frugal before because I didn't have money, so why am I still being frugal now that the family is wealthy?"
