The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 58: A Firm Embrace for the Medicine Finger:

Xia Sha never expected Wang Cheng to run so fast.

Even with dozens of people chasing him, they couldn’t catch up.

But what Xia Sha didn’t realize was that these people were merely trying to catch a pervert. If they couldn’t catch him, it wasn’t a big deal.

However, if Wang Cheng slowed down and got caught, he would be beaten half to death.

Could he afford to run any slower?

Seeing more people appearing ahead, Xia Sha grew anxious. If she didn’t act fast, Wang Cheng would disappear into the crowd.

But the moment she spotted a young man ahead of Wang Cheng, her beautiful eyes lit up.

“Handsome guy, help me catch this pervert! I’ll treat you to a meal later!”

Xia Sha called out loudly to Qi Lin.

Poor Xia Sha had no idea that the person who had just infuriated her wasn’t the Wang Cheng she was currently chasing.

Instead, it was the very person she was now asking for help.

Wang Cheng was also slightly stunned when he saw Qi Lin in front of him. He couldn’t understand why Qi Lin was there.

But this was not the time to think about that.

“Brother, help me! They misunderstood me! I’m not a pervert—I was wronged!”

Wang Cheng had no time for pride. He immediately pleaded with Qi Lin for help.

Qi Lin grinned. “You are my good brother, that’s true. But I am a man of integrity—I help the righteous, not the familiar. So, I’m sorry.”

As Wang Cheng stared in bewilderment, Qi Lin extended his foot.

“Pfft~”

Wang Cheng, who was sprinting at full speed, had no time to stop. He tripped and fell flat on his face.

A glint of amusement flashed through Qi Lin’s dark eyes as he stepped forward and planted his foot firmly on Wang Cheng’s back, ensuring he couldn’t get up.

“Phew~ Thank you so much, handsome! If not for you, this scum would have gotten away!”

With Wang Cheng on the ground, Xia Sha finally arrived, albeit slightly out of breath.

Perhaps because she wasn’t used to running, after such a long sprint, she suddenly felt dizzy and wobbled slightly.

The shop owners who had been chasing behind her, equally out of breath, saw this and immediately stepped forward to support her.

But no matter how fast they were, could they be faster than Qi Lin?

That seductive figure beneath the dark green qipao, as tempting as a medicine finger, was something Qi Lin had long wanted to experience.

He swiftly wrapped an arm around Xia Sha’s slender waist, feeling the silky smoothness of her qipao as he pulled her into a firm embrace.

“Ah!”

Being suddenly held, Xia Sha snapped back to her senses. Her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly pushed Qi Lin away, steadying herself.

“Little brother, thank you.”

No matter how mature Qi Lin’s mindset was, at this moment, he was still just an eighteen-year-old boy. Xia Sha naturally referred to him as “little brother.”

“I’m Qi Lin. Don’t call me ‘little brother’—it gives people the wrong idea.”

Qi Lin chuckled.

…

“Thank you, everyone. The pervert has been caught, so you can all go back to work. I’ll handle the rest.”

The shop owners had tied Wang Cheng up with ropes they had found from who-knows-where, binding him tightly.

Back at Jianghan Restaurant, Xia Sha expressed her gratitude to the shop owners and sent them off, though they left rather reluctantly.

“Qi Lin, right? You worked hard just now. Here, have a drink.”

Xia Sha took a bottle of chilled beverage from the fridge and handed it to Qi Lin in thanks.

“It was nothing.”

Qi Lin smiled and shook his head.

Xia Sha glanced at Qi Lin, then at Wang Cheng.

They were from the same school and about the same age, yet why was there such a huge difference between them?

“Rest for a bit, and don’t leave yet. Once I’m done handling this, I’ll treat you to lunch.”

Xia Sha gestured for Qi Lin to sit down.

Qi Lin smiled but didn’t interfere. He simply found a seat and waited to see how Lan Yuxi’s aunt would deal with Wang Cheng.

Xia Sha was polite to Qi Lin, but her tone toward Wang Cheng was completely different.

“Speak. Do you want me to call the police, or will you contact your parents to come to my restaurant?”

Her voice was ice-cold.

Earlier, Wang Cheng had deliberately caused trouble, putting chewing gum in a customer’s snow fungus soup, causing her a loss of 5,000 yuan.

Since Wang Cheng had been introduced by Lan Yuxi, even though Xia Sha was furious, she hadn’t demanded compensation.

But when Wang Cheng insulted her and even stole water, Xia Sha’s anger boiled over, and she discarded any reservations.

As she had said—either his parents would come to pay for the damage, or she would call the police and let them handle it.

Wang Cheng was still a student. If the police recorded this in his file, his future would be ruined.

Even though he was now bound and thrown to the ground, Wang Cheng still couldn’t comprehend how things had escalated to this point.

He hadn’t even done anything! Why was he suddenly treated like a rat that everyone wanted to beat up?

But he wasn’t stupid. He suddenly glared angrily at Qi Lin. “It was you! You did all this, didn’t you? You badmouthed me in front of Yuxi’s aunt, which is why she misunderstood me!”

“What? This beautiful lady is Yuxi’s aunt?”

Qi Lin pretended to be surprised, glancing at Wang Cheng, then at Xia Sha.

“I am indeed Yuxi’s aunt.”

Xia Sha smiled kindly at Qi Lin.

Then, her beautiful eyes turned sharp as she glared at Wang Cheng. “Even now, you refuse to repent and are trying to shift the blame onto someone else? Do you not even know what you just did? I really don’t understand—how could someone like you be friends with Yuxi?”

“Pfft!”

Seeing how vastly different Xia Sha’s attitude was toward him and Qi Lin, Wang Cheng was so furious that he almost coughed up blood.

“Enough. There’s no point stalling. Call your parents now. If they don’t come, I’ll call the police.”

Xia Sha pulled out her phone and pressed 110, showing it to Wang Cheng.

Seeing that she was serious about calling the police, Wang Cheng panicked.

It didn’t matter that he had done nothing wrong. With so many people chasing him, their testimonies alone would make the police believe them over him.

“Don’t call the police! My home number is XXXXXXX.”

Wang Cheng had no choice but to give in.
