Chapter 224 How come you know martial arts?
She had wanted to rush out for a long time, but for some reason, when the young lady got out of the car, she told her not to move under any circumstances, not to speak, and not to make a move.
Her reason told her she should trust the young lady, but her mind couldn't understand why. If she didn't fight now, was there any chance of survival?
Are we just going to wait for these beggars to come up to us?
Liu Yue's smile gradually turned maniacal: "Shen Li, you will soon be played to death by these beggars. Tomorrow, when the news of your rape and murder as the most talented woman in the world comes out, your reputation and that of your Shen family will be ruined."
"So, do you regret treating me like that now? If you kneel down and beg me now, maybe I can let you die with some dignity."
The beggar stepped forward, while she retreated, waiting to see Shen Li's miserable state as she was toyed with.
"And then what? Do you think you can escape my family's revenge?" Shen Li leaned against the stone wall and asked leisurely.
"Who would know it was me? The people who kidnapped you will all die, and no one will know it was me. I will find a chance to return to the Gu family and take your place as the mistress of the house."
"When you get to the afterlife, you must bless me," she said with a smile.
Shen Li blinked. At that moment, the five beggars had already walked forward and were only five steps away from Shen Li. One of them was about to pounce on her.
Liu Yue looked on with a twisted expression of anticipation.
But the beggar who rushed forward suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. Upon closer inspection, he saw a fan blocking his view. Before he could react, the fan had already closed and touched his chest.
The beggar felt as if he had been struck in the chest with tremendous force, and he fell backward.
Shen Li was too fast. By the time Liu Yue took a closer look, the white folding fan in Shen Li's hand had already been opened again, and she was fanning herself.
Not to mention Liu Yue and the beggar, even Yu Die was stunned. She looked at her young lady and then at the beggar who had fallen several meters away and was still rolling on the ground, her face full of disbelief.
The young lady was born delicate and slender, with delicate fingers. Although she usually had instructors teaching her martial arts, she thought it was just for strengthening her body.
After all, people who practice martial arts don't practice every three to five days, and they only practice for half an hour each time. How can they learn that?
The other five beggars didn't dare to approach at all.
They could clearly see that Shen Li's hands were tied tightly, and now the ropes had come undone, and broken into several pieces.
This wasn't untied; she just snapped it open with a burst of force. The rope was wrapped so tightly; it must have taken a lot of strength to break it open.
She doesn't look like a lady from a respectable family at all; she's clearly a jackal or a tiger.
What frightened them most was the beggar lying on the ground, who couldn't get up even after being hit.
"You...you...how could you still lay a hand on me?" Liu Yue asked in horror.
"Do you think my military achievements on the battlefield were just picked up off the street? Do you think I'm easy to bully just because I don't have any capable maids with me?" Shen Li said with amusement, "Sometimes I really wonder if you and Gu Chang'an are really related. You don't seem like relatives at all."
"You guys, get her! Can't you hold her down?" Liu Yue said, unwilling to give up.
The beggars were initially afraid, but now they were also driven by lust and, after being incited, they were even more tempted. They immediately attacked Shen Li at the same time.
"Bang bang bang bang bang." Shen Li's reaction speed was many times that of an ordinary person. She swept her folding fan horizontally, and several people were sent flying with almost no effort, falling to the ground groaning.
She threw the folding fan away after she finished hitting it; it was too dirty.
Liu Yue was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, muttering, "How could this be? How could this be?"
"Do I need to stall for time?" As Shen Li spoke, she walked up to Yu Die, removed the gag from her mouth, and gently pulled the ropes binding her to break.
Yu Die stared at the leather rope that had been torn apart as easily as paper, and fell silent. Now she knew why her mistress was so calm.
With such strength, it's good enough that no one is afraid of her; who does she need to be afraid of?
After rescuing Yu Die, Shen Li walked over to Liu Yue and kindly reminded her, "Aren't all the people outside yours? You can call for help now."
Liu Yue finally snapped out of her fright and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help, Mr. Zhou!"
However, due to her extreme fright, although she tried very hard, her shouts were not loud. She could only continue shouting desperately. While shouting, she used both her hands and feet to back away, trying to get as far away from Shen Li as possible.
Shen Li watched from the side.
"Miss, I'll go and gag her." Yu Die stepped forward.
Shen Li stopped her: "You have to give people a chance to survive, otherwise how can they play?"
Liu Yue gave up shouting because he heard the sounds of fighting outside and heard the robbers say, "Soldiers, the soldiers are here, run!"
Liu Yue's heart and body went completely cold.
How could the soldiers have arrived so quickly? Didn't Shen Li just arrive?
Even if they discovered Shen Li's disappearance immediately and started investigating, it wouldn't have been this fast.
The beggars gradually recovered, but none of them dared to approach.
"Tell me, if I let them assault you, will they do something?" Shen Li looked at the beggars, then at Liu Yue.
"No...no..." Liu Yue shook her head frantically, "Please, no!"
“Miss, that’s a good idea. Let’s give them a taste of their own medicine,” Yu Die said from the side.
"You've learned the idioms well," Shen Li praised, then added, "But one must have a bottom line. If you can't stand her, you can kill her, but to humiliate a woman like this is not the act of a gentleman."
"Oh, I understand," Yu Die said, bowing her head.
Liu Yue looked bewildered. She had known Shen Li for quite some time, but now she realized that not only did she not understand her, but they were from two different worlds.
Shen Li didn't look at Liu Yue again, but said to the beggars, "If the government asks you anything, just say it. You might still be alive. But if you don't cooperate, I'm sure none of you will leave Dali Temple alive."
Even without Shen Li's threats, the men trembled at the mere mention of the Dali Temple. In the past, the Dali Temple was merely a judicial institution that reviewed case files, but since Gu Chang'an took control of it, it had become an even more terrifying entity than the Flying Fish Guard's imperial prison.
No matter how high-ranking an official is, they won't get out without suffering heavy losses, let alone beggars like them who die and no one even knows.
The group nodded repeatedly, saying that they had nothing left to hide.
"Done." Shen Li patted non-existent dust off her hands and began to complain about the lack of water to wash her hands in the dilapidated cave.
"Miss, aren't we going out?" Yu Die asked.
“Isn’t the entrance blocked by rocks? We have to open it from the outside; we can’t open it from the inside,” Shen Li objectively pointed out the difficulties.
"Can't you push it away?" Yu Die asked, puzzled. She always felt that compared to pulling the rope, the not-so-large stone shouldn't be difficult for the young lady.
