43 Are you being bold?

Enemies on a narrow road, thought Jing Yunzhao the moment she saw Lu Jia. 

Lu Jia was a carefree girl. Although not as pretty as Qiao Hongye, she was lucky to have cousins who doted on her. In fact, since she was the only girl in her family, her cousins spoiled her rotten despite her looks. Her cousins would often pick her up from school, and a lot of students envied her for that. 

Behind Lu Jia were four boys. The oldest one was over twenty years old, and the youngest one was around seventeen to eighteen years old. 

"She is Jing Yunzhao? The crazy girl you were talking about?" One of the boys asked angrily. 

"Yes, she is the one. She framed me by telling the teachers that I beat her up when it was actually her who beat me up, and my parents wouldn't believe what I said because of her!" Lu Jia complained to her cousins. 

"What a horrible person! Don't worry, Jia Jia, we will make her pay," said one of the boys, and all of them formed a circle around Jing Yunzhao. 

"People pass by here. Let's take her into the alley," said Lu Jia complacently, casually standing outside of the circle. 

Lu Jia was certain that there was no way for Jing Yunzhao to escape when it was this late and dark. No one would ever find out who did it if they dragged Jing Yunzhao into an alley and beat her up. 

They outnumbered Jing Yunzhao and they took advantage of it. Lu Jia dragged Jing Yunzhao and threatened her, forcing her to walk into the alley. 

They were in a rather empty street with no CCTV cameras and hardly anyone to notice what was going on. Jing Yunzhao played along and moved cooperatively into the alley, standing against the wall with viciousness in her eyes. 

"You are quite pretty, crazy girl, though we wouldn't be interested even if you threw yourself at us. Tell us what you want us to do, Jia Jia, we will do as you wish!" Another cousin of Lu Jia's said. 

Lu Jia spat on the ground, rubbing her hands together and walking towards Jing Yunzhao. "Why don't you get down on your knees and beg me, Jing Yunzhao? Who knows, I might just relent and let you go." 

Jing Yunzhao clenched her fists, recalling the martial art moves she had learned. 

"Stop being so arrogant! I'll get them to remove your clothes and we'll leave you here, I mean it! Imagine wearing nothing in such weather, especially since it looks like it will rain too. You might freeze to death if you stay here naked. Also, since I brought a handphone, I can easily take pictures of you naked. That would end your days in Huaning County for good!" Lu Jia screeched, smiling cruelly. 

Jing Yunzhao didn't respond despite Lu Jia's threats, and her expressionless face began to scare Lu Jia and her gang. 

Lu Jia stared at Jing Yunzhao, waiting for her to panic, but Jing Yunzhao just smiled. 

"What are you smiling at?" Lu Jia demanded in disbelief. 

Jing Yunzhao raised a brow and removed her jacket. 

"Oh, are you being bold now? My cousins will not change their minds!" Lu Jia rolled her eyes and said sarcastically. 

Lu Jia became confused when Jing Yunzhao started to wrap her jacket around her fist like a boxing glove. 

"Do you want to fight?" Lu Jia yelled furiously. 

In the next second, Jing Yunzhao's fist smashed into Lu Jia's nose. 

The jacket that was wrapped around Jing Yunzhao's fist buffered the impact, but Jing Yunzhao was strong and the punch hit Lu Jia hard. The boys were immediately triggered and reached out to subdue Jing Yunzhao.
