Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

Chapter 235: Li Shengxue is Leaving

"Brother Jiang, did I... kill someone..." Jiang Lan said with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Siming smilingly patted her fragrant back and said, "Don't worry, he won't die. Even if he does, it would be considered justifiable self-defense. At worst, you'll just have to pay some compensation, so there's no need to be afraid. What you did just now was completely right."

"You're talking nonsense! Stop scaring people. If he dies, this girl will be waiting to go to jail!" a friend of the tattooed man shouted.

Jiang Siming's lips curled up, and he shook his head in disappointment, saying, "Don't show off your laughable lack of knowledge just because you haven't read any books. Our Criminal Law stipulates that in the case of ongoing violent crimes such as assault, murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape, and other serious crimes that endanger personal safety, defensive actions that result in injury or death to the perpetrator do not constitute criminal liability or excessive defense."

Jiang Siming continued to question, "Not knowing this, you dare to kidnap people openly? Do you know that I could just beat all of you to death now and only have to pay some compensation?"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Lan noticed that Jiang Siming had disappeared from her side. Turning back, she found that the remaining two friends of the tattooed man were all sprawled on the ground, each clutching their twisted thighs and wailing in pain. After beating these two, Jiang Siming turned and walked toward the now-recovered tattooed man. The tattooed man was still embedded with glass shards, bleeding profusely, and looked horrifying. But Jiang Siming showed not a hint of sympathy, walking straight toward him.

"B... Big brother... I was wrong... Please let me go. I didn't mean to offend your woman after drinking some horse urine... sniff sniff..." The big man was so scared that he started crying; it was clear that this young man was not someone he could provoke.

He never thought that what he thought was a great stroke of luck today would turn out to be a major disaster.

"Not everything can be covered up by drinking. What's done is done. Since you did it, you have to bear the consequences of your wrongdoings." Jiang Siming's tone was icy cold.

Under his imposing presence, everyone in the private room felt it hard to breathe.

"Bro, I..." Before the tattooed man could finish his sentence,

Jiang Siming kicked an empty beer bottle lying on the ground. The beer bottle, kicked powerfully by Jiang Siming, didn't break but instead went flying like a bullet, hitting the tattooed man right between his legs. Ah! This scream sent shivers down the spines of those around, and the men felt an involuntary tensing in their nether regions.

"Since you can't control your lower half when drunk, I'll take care of it for you." Jiang Siming said this with a casual tone, as if it were a trivial matter.

Jiang Siming himself didn't know when he had become so 'cold-blooded' and 'heartless.' After laying the foundation, he always thought he hadn't changed much. But now he realized that this was only when facing ordinary people; when he encountered scum like this, the violent factor in his body became exceptionally active.

The tattooed man howled for a while, unable to bear the pain, and finally fainted. At this moment, the police arrived, and coincidentally, it was Li Shengxue leading the team.

"What happened?" Li Shengxue walked up to Jiang Siming and asked softly. Jiang Siming briefly narrated what had happened and took out his phone, playing a video.

This video was secretly recorded by Xiao Xian, and she only recorded the actions of the tattooed man and his friends, not Jiang Siming hitting him. Thoughtful Xiao Xian, online cunning. After watching the video, Li Shengxue promptly took the tattooed man and his group away.

"Don't worry, with this video, you won't have any trouble." Li Shengxue said to Jiang Siming with a smile, but her expression hid a touch of sadness and a desire to say more. The police took away a few bad people.

With Li Shengxue there, the police only took statements from Jiang Siming and Jiang Lan on the scene before leaving. Just before leaving, Li Shengxue suddenly pulled Jiang Siming aside, lowering her head but saying nothing.

"What's wrong, Officer Li?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled. Find your next read on empire

Li Shengxue lifted her flawless, snow-white face and said to Jiang Siming, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"Do you... like me?" Li Shengxue's cheeks were flushed, not knowing how much courage it had taken her.

"Remove your 'me' and the question mark, and switch the subject and predicate, and that's what I want to say to you," Jiang Siming answered with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Shengxue smiled, but she soon became more dejected.

"What's really going on?" Jiang Siming was quite curious.

"I have to go." Li Shengxue finally said.

"Go? Where? Leaving Shanghai?" Jiang Siming was puzzled.

Li Shengxue nodded and said, "You know about Huaxia Tianzu, right?"

Jiang Siming shook his head; he hadn't heard of it.

"Huaxia Tianzu is the most secretive and powerful combat unit in China, even more powerful than the State Security. A year ago, I applied to serve in Tianzu. I thought they hadn't agreed, but they recently replied."

"So you're going to serve?" Jiang Siming understood.

Li Shengxue showed a bitter smile and said, "A year ago, I thought I was free of desire and wanted to dedicate everything to the national security cause, but I didn't expect..."

Li Shengxue really felt as if fate was toying with her. She had no attachments in the past. Coming from a family of military background, Li Shengxue was determined to become her father's pride, to join Huaxia Tianzu and improve her strength to serve the country. She applied for a year, and the higher-ups didn't agree, but after she gradually forgot about it and met Jiang Siming, she realized that she wasn't as emotionless as she had imagined.

When she had just confirmed that she had fallen in love with Jiang Siming, a notification letter arrived in her hands. At that moment, Li Shengxue was stunned, and it took her many days to recover.

"Can't it be canceled?" Jiang Siming asked.

As soon as he asked, he felt his question was really stupid. Even if you were accepted to join the army, could you just back out and not participate? And if you could, you would become a deserter.

Li Shengxue said with disappointment, "It seems that this time, the Tian Group is recruiting very urgently. I will have to leave Shanghai in a few days and go to a place I don't know, for one year of service. During this year, I might not even be able to make a few phone calls."

Upon hearing Li Shengxue's words, Jiang Siming suddenly felt a knot in his heart. He reached out and pulled Li Shengxue directly into his arms. He knew he couldn't stop her, and the only comfort he could offer was this.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you for a year," Jiang Siming said with a light smile, although he felt sad, he knew this was something that couldn't be avoided, so it was better to comfort her.

Li Shengxue tightly wrapped her arms around Jiang Siming's waist. For the first time, she felt the warmth and solidity of Jiang Siming's embrace, and she really regretted her decision a year ago. Thinking of this, Li Shengxue took the initiative to lift her head and kissed Jiang Siming on the lips, offering her first kiss in a brief yet sincere manner. The two of them kissed passionately and reluctantly in a corner where no one could see them. It wasn't until much later that Li Shengxue blushed and stepped out of Jiang Siming's embrace.
