"No, no, stop hitting me, help..."
The cashier kept begging for mercy.
Watching this scene, Zhao Yan was very worried nearby.
Judging from the cashier's miserable state, it was clear the injuries were more than minor, and even if they hired the best lawyers afterward, they couldn't escape criminal responsibility.
It shocked Zhao Yan that Su Cheng was willing to severely compromise his own future by engaging in such violent beating for Xuan Ying's sake.
It's worth noting that the Su Cheng she had just met was a very calm and rational young man, even far-sighted, with extremely high intelligence.
But now Su Cheng seemed to have gone mad, without any rationality, only knowing how to mindlessly beat someone, completely disregarding his future situation and consequences.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan looked at Xuan Ying beside her.
When she did, Zhao Yan was momentarily stunned.
Because at this moment, Xuan Ying's eyes were sparkling, and she watched Su Cheng's violent actions with an inexplicable excitement and thrill?
What was going on?
Wasn't she worried about Su Cheng's safety?
A strange premonition suddenly rose in her heart.
This kind of blind favoritism, willing to sacrifice one's own interests without distinction, plus the "strong sense of security" Su Cheng gave her when she was most desperate and helpless.
So... had she fallen for Su Cheng?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly became flustered, so she glanced at Xuan Ying again.
At this moment, Xuan Ying was looking at Su Cheng with an infatuated gaze, her eyes full of admiration and affection, which made Zhao Yan certain.
She's completely fallen for him!
Wait...
Why am I concerned about this right now?
Isn't stopping Su Cheng more important?
"Su Cheng!"
Zhao Yan hurried over to pull Su Cheng, trying to get him off the cashier: "You'll face legal consequences if you beat him to death!"
"Don't worry, I never do anything without being certain."
Su Cheng answered while panting, then continued to frantically beat the cashier.
Zhao Yan was stunned by these words, remembering he had said the same thing when chasing the stalker last time.
Thinking about what happened today, perhaps Su Cheng really could handle this situation beautifully and keep it under wraps?
Nevertheless, she still needed to remind him.
Thinking this, Zhao Yan quickly said to Su Cheng: "Su Cheng, whatever you do, you need to consider the consequences!"
Su Cheng didn't respond, instead delivering a 'deliberate heavy punch' that left her in awe.
"Ah, ah... please spare me, I beg you!"
The cashier was beaten helplessly by Su Cheng, crying out in pain, but it was useless. He had no strength to struggle, eventually passing out.
"You two go out first, leave this to me."
Su Cheng stood up from the cashier whose face was now red with blood, speaking to the two girls, then casually shook the blood off his fists.
"But your hand..."
Xuan Ying suddenly came before Su Cheng, her clear bright eyes fixed on him, showing a hint of pleading.
"Give me ten minutes to clean up."
Su Cheng shook his head. His face was covered in blood, but he showed a very calm expression, as if what he had just done was something trivial.
"Al... alright!"
Zhao Yan came to her senses and pulled Xuan Ying out of the convenience store. The blood-covered Su Cheng's presence was too intimidating now.
So, the two quickly walked outside, but their hearts were still racing like deer running wild.
After they left, Su Cheng suddenly pulled down the rolling shutter.
"He... he was so cool just now, did you see?"
Xuan Ying said shyly, her face slightly red, feeling an inexplicable flutter in her heart, as if the distance between her and Su Cheng had suddenly shortened.
"Sigh."
Zhao Yan massaged her temples with a headache and said: "Your focus is really strange, he was deliberately assaulting someone just now!"
Zhao Yan sighed and continued: "If someone calls the police, Su Cheng will be detained, and that would be trouble."
"Ah!!"
Hearing this, Xuan Ying finally realized that they had been so immersed in that wonderful atmosphere that they hadn't thought it through, and now, she suddenly became aware of the situation.
She became anxious and quickly asked: "What should we do now?"
Zhao Yan looked at Xuan Ying's anxious, nearly crying face, and felt somewhat helpless, thinking that indeed when someone falls in love, even their thinking becomes slow.
"Don't worry, Su Cheng just said he has a way to handle this, we just need to wait!"
"Oh right, he did say not to worry!"
Hearing this, Xuan Ying finally calmed down a bit, her smile returning, a blush appearing on her face making her look enchantingly beautiful.
"Have you fallen for him?"
Seeing Xuan Ying's expression, Zhao Yan couldn't help but tease.
"No way! I haven't!"
Xuan Ying quickly waved her hands, denying: "I'm just grateful, yes, just grateful!"
Seeing this reaction, Zhao Yan was certain in her heart, seeing Xuan Ying's response basically confirmed it.
This was typical of trying to hide something but making it more obvious.
As the two were chatting, suddenly a police car stopped nearby, and a middle-aged man in uniform stepped out.
This startled both girls, as they hadn't expected the police to arrive so quickly.
Who had called the police?
There wasn't anyone else around except them earlier?
Had that scumbag secretly called the police while Su Cheng was talking to them?
Zhao Yan's heart trembled when she saw the police officer, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look up.
"He's going to Su Cheng's building."
Xuan Ying said softly, while secretly observing the officer.
"Looks like the police officer is just passing by."
Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "Don't panic, and don't look at the rolling shutter. I'll call Su Cheng now and tell him not to come out yet!"
"Okay, hurry!"
Xuan Ying nodded, but still felt very uneasy.
...........................
Su Cheng looked at the bloodied cashier lying on the ground, fate unknown, his face terrifyingly dark.
Hearing those words from the store entrance had filled him with exceptional anger and shock.
His classmate had come to find him, only to encounter something like this, making the man's behavior unforgivable.
If something had really happened to Xuan Ying, he would never forgive himself!
This was absolutely the most enraged moment of his life.
So, he had acted impulsively.
But it wasn't a big problem; as someone who had crossed over, he had countless ways to clean up afterward.
Killing someone directly in front of his classmates would only make things worse.
Therefore, Su Cheng chose to knock this person unconscious first, find a way to avoid legal responsibility, and then slowly make this person's life miserable afterward. He wanted this person to suffer a fate worse than death.
However, first, he needed to let him taste what it's like to be at someone's mercy, living in fear every day.
He took out a rope from his system space and tied the scumbag's legs and feet securely, then grabbed a bottle of mineral water from nearby and poured it on the scumbag's face.
"Ugh... it hurts."
The scumbag woke up from being splashed, opened his bleary eyes, saw Su Cheng's ice-cold expression, suddenly remembered something, and started struggling.
But being tied up, he couldn't move at all, so he could only keep thrashing about.
Su Cheng grabbed his hair and yanked hard, making him howl in pain again.
"Ah!!! What are you going to do! This is a crime!"
The scumbag shouted, but his mouth was covered by Su Cheng, making it impossible to yell.
"A crime?"
Su Cheng sneered and said: "So you actually understand the word 'crime.'"
As he spoke, he delivered a smooth combo of punches to the man's stomach, making his face contort in pain.
"Mmph... mmph..."
The scumbag writhed in pain: "What are you going to do, kill me?"
"Why don't you guess?"
Su Cheng stood up and stepped on the scumbag's right hand, stomping hard on it, causing excruciating pain that made the scumbag scream.
"Ah!!! My hand, my hand!!!"
The scumbag shouted, sweat already appearing on his face, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"Don't make a sound, or else..."
Su Cheng glared viciously at the scumbag's crotch, causing him to immediately stop making noise, only managing to endure the excruciating pain, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead, each bead as big as a soybean dripping onto the ground.
"Alright."
Su Cheng asked disdainfully, his voice filled with endless sarcasm and disgust, "Next, you just need to answer a few simple questions for me."
"Okay, okay!"
The scumbag nodded hastily.
As Su Cheng withdrew his foot, the scumbag felt a wave of weakness, almost collapsing to the ground.
"Have you done anything illegal?"
"I never do anything illegal, that girl really stole something, you can check the surveillance footage."
The scumbag panted, his forehead drenched in sweat. After speaking, he met Su Cheng's icy gaze, shuddering involuntarily, his heart pounding violently.
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng kicked the scumbag in the stomach.
"Ah!!!"
This time, the scumbag couldn't hold back and screamed in agony, curling up on the ground in pain, his facial features contorted into an ugly expression.
"I'll ask you one last time, have you done anything illegal!"
Su Cheng asked coldly.
"No, no, I haven't done anything, I'm also a victim."
As the scumbag spoke, his face turned pale, his body trembling in fear.
"Your mouth is pretty tough, seems like you've done quite a bit."
Saying this, Su Cheng suddenly pulled out a phone from his pocket, and upon seeing the phone in Su Cheng's hand, the scumbag's eyes widened in horror.
Because it was his phone.
"How? How could this be?!"
The scumbag's mind went blank, in complete chaos. He never expected the phone to be in his hands.
But he quickly realized that as long as he didn't say anything, no one in the world would know.
Seeing the scumbag's reaction, Su Cheng understood that there must be something secret on the phone, otherwise he wouldn't be so shocked.
And the lock screen password was a custom long password.
It required a combination of English letters and numbers.
Would a normal person set their lock screen password like this?
"Phone password."
Su Cheng asked, his expression calm.
"No, no way!"
The scumbag shouted, shaking his head frantically.
Su Cheng then brutally beat him up again, but the scumbag only grew more stubborn, even cursing at him, showing a determination to die rather than surrender, which infuriated Su Cheng.
"Do you think you can keep quiet and I'll be helpless?"
"Haha, you've got no tricks, a factory reset would just wipe everything."
The scumbag suddenly revealed a sinister smile, as if he was ready to throw caution to the wind, not caring about anything anymore.
"What if I handed this phone over to the police?"
Su Cheng asked with a smile, but his tone was extremely cold.
"Little brat, don't dream!"
The scumbag laughed wildly, completely unafraid of Su Cheng's threat.
Seeing Su Cheng frustrated, he even felt a strange sense of pleasure.
Although the criminal investigation department could, it would only be possible if it involved a case investigation.
As long as he didn't say anything, no one would ever know.
"Stupid!"
Su Cheng cursed, smashing the phone onto the scumbag's head.
"Lost your temper?"
The scumbag's head was bleeding, he looked at Su Cheng, his eyes filled with wild hatred, but the next second he froze, because the other party suddenly pulled out a cigarette and said, "Give me face."
With a "pop" sound, Su Cheng stuffed the cigarette into the scumbag's mouth.
Then he untied him.
"Write the password down on paper."
Su Cheng ordered.
"Yes."
The scumbag agreed hurriedly.
"Format the surveillance hard drive."
Su Cheng continued to instruct.
"I'll do it right now."
After saying this, the scumbag began to operate according to Su Cheng's instructions, quickly completing the formatting, then stood there smoking, waiting for Su Cheng's further orders.
"Tie yourself up!"
"Yes!"
The scumbag quickly went over, then found that he couldn't tie himself up, so he looked at Su Cheng for help, and it was Su Cheng who finally helped him tie himself up.
Then he was tightly bound and lay on the ground, smiling happily: "Thank you, big brother."
But with his deformed face and covered in blood, he looked extremely disgusting.
"You're welcome."
Su Cheng said coldly, then unlocked and started browsing through his phone's contents.
Soon, the cigarette in his mouth was gone.
"Hey, wait, who are you?"
"Ouch, it hurts!"
The cashier suddenly regained consciousness, finding himself in pain all over, struggling a bit, then looking down to see that he was tied up.
And the person standing in front of him was an unfamiliar teenager, who looked down at him with a playful smile.
"This, this... what's going on?"
The cashier was so scared that he couldn't even speak.
He only remembered threatening a girl, when suddenly a figure appeared at the door, and then he didn't remember anything, waking up to find himself tied up by this teenager.
"Look at this."
Su Cheng suddenly swiped the phone screen in front of the cashier.
The cashier saw the contents displayed on the phone screen and his face changed dramatically.
Because the phone was his, and it was unlocked, showing all kinds of sordid activities, enough to sentence him to life imprisonment.
"This, this can't be true?"
The cashier's face was full of disbelief, but the fact was the fact.
"How... how did you know the password?"
The cashier was terrified, stuttering to ask.
"What do you think will happen if I show these to the police?"
Su Cheng asked with a smile, but this sentence, heard by the cashier, was like a devil's hypnosis, making him shudder all over.
"No, no!"
"Please, I'll do anything."
The cashier hurriedly begged for mercy, his face full of fear.
