Multiple Personalities

All the message senders were focused on Li Baiyu.

Ring ring ring—

The phone rang.

Shen Jingqi stopped walking, took out his phone, and opened the message.

"Shen Jingqi, come save me! Someone is following me!"

"Shen Jingqi, if you don't reply, I'm done for!"

"Shen Jingqi, I'm at the breakfast shop on XX Road, XX number. Come quickly!"

...

They were all sent from the same number.

This number was very familiar to Shen Jingqi; it was Yang Haotian's.

"What happened?"

Li Baiyu asked curiously, seeing Shen Jingqi suddenly stop and check his phone repeatedly.

"My friend is in danger, I have to save him!"

After saying that, Shen Jingqi turned and ran towards the hospital exit.

"Hey! You haven't treated me to a meal yet!"

Li Baiyu shouted from behind, watching the departing Shen Jingqi, hurriedly following.

While running, Shen Jingqi called Yang Haotian, but the call wouldn't connect.

"This idiot, failing at a critical moment!"

Shen Jingqi cursed inwardly.

A few minutes later, Shen Jingqi arrived at the breakfast shop Yang Haotian mentioned.

A crowd was gathered at the entrance, pointing and discussing.

Shen Jingqi pushed through the crowd to enter.

Inside, the shop was a mess; tables and chairs overturned on the floor, with broken plates scattered everywhere.

A girl was huddled in a corner, hair disheveled, clothes torn, exposing much of her skin. Her face was swollen, and blood trickled from her mouth.

Upon seeing Shen Jingqi, confusion and surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a worried look.

"Haotian, your friend is here!"

Shen Jingqi's eyes scanned the breakfast shop.

There were five people inside, three men and two women, aggressively surrounding a man and assaulting him.

This man was Yang Haotian.

"Get away, there are too many of them, you can't take them!"

Yang Haotian shouted.

By now, Yang Haotian had been beaten black and blue, curled up on the ground with his hands covering his head.

"Stop!"

Shen Jingqi shouted loudly and rushed forward.

The five people saw Shen Jingqi approaching and stopped, turning to look at him.

"Who are you? Mind your own business!"

One of the men said.

"I'm Yang Haotian's friend. Why are you attacking them?"

Shen Jingqi questioned.

"Haha, because this slut is seducing my boyfriend!"

One of the women said, pointing at the girl.

"You're lying! I didn't!"

The girl retorted.

"Pah! You slut, still won't admit it! My boyfriend saw it himself, and you even went to the hotel with him!"

The woman cursed.

"I didn't! It's a misunderstanding! I just went to explain things to him!"

The girl was so anxious she was about to cry.

"Explain? Who would believe that! You just want to seduce my boyfriend! Today, we're going to teach you a lesson!"

Finish saying that, the woman tried to attack the girl again.

Shen Jingqi swiftly grabbed the woman's arm, pulling her to the ground.

"You all are too much! As long as I'm here, no one will lay a finger on her!"

Shen Jingqi yelled angrily.

"Oh, you're bold, huh? Today we'll take you down too!"

The man said, signaling the others to attack together.

Shen Jingqi didn't flinch, meeting them head-on.

The five sneered, seemingly not taking Shen Jingqi seriously.

"With your physique, you think you can play hero? Don't kid yourself!"

One of the men taunted, while swinging a punch at Shen Jingqi.

Shen Jingqi stepped aside, easily dodging the punch, and countered with a heavy punch to the man's stomach.

The man doubled over like he was hit by lightning, groaning in pain.

"Kid, you've got some skills!"

Another man roared, swinging a baseball bat at Shen Jingqi.

Shen Jingqi stepped aside again, dodging the swing, then kicked the man's wrist.

With a "crack" sound, the man's wrist broke, and the bat flew out of his hand.

"Ah!"

The man screamed, clutching his broken wrist, writhing in pain.

The remaining three showed fear in their eyes.

They hadn't expected Shen Jingqi to be so formidable, taking down two in a few seconds.

"Get him together, don't let him escape!"

One of the women shouted, swinging a wine bottle at Shen Jingqi.

Shen Jingqi stepped aside, dodging again, and grabbed the woman's wrist, twisting it hard.

The woman shrieked in pain, dropping the bottle to the floor.

"What are you all standing there for? Attack him!"

Another man, seeing this, shouted urgently.

The remaining two men realized and lunged at Shen Jingqi.

Shen Jingqi scoffed, moving like a ghost between them.

His punches fell like raindrops, each one hitting their vital spots.

With a few "bang bang" sounds, both were down, groaning in pain.

"Anyone else want to try?"

Shen Jingqi looked around coldly.

The five lay on the ground, groaning, their previous arrogance gone.

"Kid, you wait, we'll get you!"

One of the men threatened.

"Whatever! I'll be waiting!"

Shen Jingqi said dismissively.

At this moment, Li Baiyu arrived in a car.

It turned out the girl was a Shen University student, having feelings for Yang Haotian.

But Yang Haotian's family was poor, while the girl was wealthy.

The girl's parents disapproved of Yang Haotian and didn't allow them together.

For Yang Haotian's sake, she severed ties with her family.

Unexpectedly, Yang Haotian met a wealthy woman in a bar, who pursued him relentlessly.

Today, the wealthy woman found out about Yang Haotian and the girl, leading people to assault her.

Seeing this, Yang Haotian pleaded for them to spare the girl and not hurt her.

BEEP BEEP BEEP—

The police and an ambulance arrived.

Seeing the scene, the police were stunned.

They hadn't expected anyone to boldly assault people in broad daylight, leaving the victims on the ground, groaning in agony.

"What's going on? Who called the police?"

One officer asked.

"I did,"

Shen Jingqi replied.

"Why were they attacking you?"

the officer asked.

"They attacked this man and his friend without any reason."

Shen Jingqi pointed to Yang Haotian and the girl.

The officers looked at Yang Haotian and the girl.

They were both in disarray, especially Yang Haotian, bruised and battered, looking quite pitiful.

"Is that true?"

The officer asked.

"Yes, officer, they attacked us for no reason and threatened us,"

the girl said.

"Take them all back and interrogate them properly!"

The officer ordered.

As a result, the five were handcuffed and taken into the police cars.
