"You should worry about yourself, your right ribs are broken, and if you don't want to end up crippled, you'd better behave."
Yun Xi, always rational and usually unemotional, had a pair of eyes filled with a deadly aura.
"I told you not to touch her!"
She charged toward Pei Zhao with a punch as swift as the wind, which seemed destined to hit him, but at the last moment, Pei Zhao simply extended his right hand in front of him and caught Yun Xi's punch with a lot of force in his palm.
Shocked, Yun Xi felt a numbness in her elbow the next instant and, unbeknownst to her, a silver needle had been inserted into one of her acupuncture points.
"Move again, and you'll lose the use of your hand."
The wail of the ambulance siren grew louder as it approached.
Yun Xi's hand dangled powerlessly, trembling uncontrollably.
"You..."
Pei Zhao looked at Yun Xi's shocked face and saw the fine beads of sweat on her forehead from enduring the pain, his eyes reflecting appreciation.
