Chapter 169: The Considerate Victim
"Apologize?!"
The man's face twisted in rage:
"Damn it!"
"That was a human life!"
"Do you think a simple apology is enough?!"
At this moment! Ye Jingjing's face was swollen like a pig's head! Her eyes were filled with terror!
She saw the man's ferocious expression! It seemed like he was about to pounce on her and tear her apart at any second!
She was terrified!
She quickly crawled towards Liu Lan, screaming along the way:
"Ah!"
"Teacher Liu, save me!"
"They're going to kill me!"
...
Liu Lan finally took a step forward, standing in front of Ye Jingjing, confronting those people:
"What do you think you're doing!"
There was no other way! No matter how annoying Ye Jingjing was, she was still her student!
Liu Lan couldn't just stand by and let these people harm her! Besides!
Ye Jingjing might be brainless!
But Liu Lan wasn't stupid—
All this talk about a human life was just an excuse!
These people had ill intentions from the start! Conflict was inevitable!
...
At this moment!
Those people kept approaching them, their faces dark:
"What are we doing? You caused someone's death, you owe us an explanation!"
Seeing this!
Liu Lan's expression changed! She finally stopped being low-key and slightly released her A+ level aura: "Take one more step, and I won't be polite!"
"Huh?!"
Those people suddenly sensed this terrifying Combat Power!
They were instantly shocked! Subconsciously, they stopped in their tracks!
"A+ level?!"
Their gaze towards Liu Lan also became wary!
This was an A+ level powerhouse! Not just in Mingyue City!
Probably in the entire world, there were only a few!
They definitely couldn't afford to provoke her lightly!
But! If they just let it go! They would be extremely unwilling—
Not only did they not gain any benefits from this trip! They also lost their second brother's life!
They were at a huge loss!...
For a moment!
Both sides were at a stalemate!
At this time! Ye Jingjing, hiding behind Liu Lan, mumbled in complaint:
"Teacher Liu!"
"Is this the only way you know how to handle things? So rough!"
"They lost a loved one, it's understandable that they're angry, right?"
"Besides, this is all your fault!"
"How can you still threaten them so righteously?"
"Just because you're A+ level, you think you're so great?"
...
Damn it!
At this moment, Liu Lan finally couldn't help but curse in her heart! What the hell was going on in this woman's brain?! She resisted the urge to slap the other half of Ye Jingjing's face! She gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up!"
...
The few people who were still hesitating!
Suddenly heard that the woman actually supported them? They immediately became confident!
Feeling that they were truly in the right:
"Hmm! Not bad!"
"This young lady is very reasonable, what she says is fair!"
"We lost a person!"
"No matter what, you should offer some compensation, right?"
Hearing these people praise her for being reasonable! Ye Jingjing proudly raised her pig-like face!
Liu Lan glared at Ye Jingjing! She was about to question those people: 'Your person was killed by a Ferocious Beast, what does that have to do with me?'
But at this moment! Ye Jingjing, already carried away, spoke in a decisive tone, agreeing first:
"Your request is very reasonable!"
"Don't worry!"
"This is all my teacher's fault!"
"No matter what demands they make, she must agree to them!"
With that, she turned to Liu Lan and commanded in a deep voice:
"Teacher Liu!"
"They are so pitiful!"
"Just hand over your supplies and compensate them!"
...
Liu Lan let out a long sigh.
She still threw the bag of supplies she had on her to them: "Alright! This is all the supplies we have!"
"You better leave quickly!"
She did this.
Not because she was convinced by Ye Jingjing.
But because.
Unless absolutely necessary.
She didn't want to resort to killing! Being able to give up supplies to resolve a life-threatening conflict was already a minimal cost!...
Unexpectedly! Those people grabbed the bag, took a look inside, and immediately sneered: "Is this all? Are you treating us like beggars?"
Hearing this!
Ye Jingjing asked in confusion:
"Aren't you just beggars?"
This was what they had said earlier, that they hadn't eaten for days...
"You're the damn beggars!"
Those people no longer pretended! They threw the bag of supplies to the ground! Then! With an extremely arrogant posture, they declared:
"We! Are the legendary, ruthless apocalypse bandits!"
"Just over there, we were about to rob and kill you!"
"But we heard you say that this villa area still has a large stockpile of supplies!"
"That's why we spared your lives!"
"Followed you here!"
"And it's all thanks to this kind-hearted little girl!"
...
What?!
The people she had just helped!
Were actually a group of murderous bandits?
Ye Jingjing realized the truth!
Her face instantly turned pale!
But she guiltily glanced at Liu Lan beside her!
Only to find! Liu Lan was looking at her with a "Are you satisfied now?" expression!
Damn it!
This woman is blaming me! This woman is gloating! The regret in Ye Jingjing's heart was instantly replaced by anger—
Why! Why is everything this woman does right! And everything I do is wrong?!
This is unfair!
No matter what, I absolutely cannot admit I'm wrong! No! I wasn't wrong in the first place! I was helping people! They even said I'm a kind-hearted little girl! That's a compliment! I'm right!
So!
She suddenly stiffened her neck, her face full of stubbornness: "Teacher Liu!"
"What kind of look is that?!"
"How can you look down on them just because they're bandits?"
"This is just their way of making a living!"
"I believe! Deep down, they must be good people!"
Hearing this.
Liu Lan was utterly disillusioned with Ye Jingjing—
This wasn't just a lack of brains.
It was a complete distortion of values!
Since when! Could a group of murderous bandits be sympathized with?! And at this moment! Not just Liu Lan! Even those bandits were stunned when they heard Ye Jingjing's words—
Damn!
They had killed so many people!
They had seen those who feared death! And those who were tough to the end! But they had never seen!
Someone so... considerate!
Even coming up with reasons for their killings!
"Ha!"
Those people couldn't help but laugh! One of them stepped forward, looking moved: "Ah! This little girl really knows how to reason!"
"You're absolutely right!"
"Although we kill, set fires, and commit every evil deed imaginable!"
"But deep down, we are truly kind-hearted!"
"Since this young lady understands us so well!"
"Why don't we kill you right now!"
"And let you experience just how merciful we are!"
Hearing this!
Ye Jingjing's face turned pale! She cried out in panic:
"No!"
"How can you kill me?!"
"I was speaking up for you!"
Then!
She grabbed Liu Lan's clothes, shouting in terror:
"Teacher Liu!"
"Didn't you hear they're going to kill me?!"
"Quick, kill them!"
