Chapter 42: Changing Faces

After declining Director Wu's proposal to send a car to take the two of them home, Shen Mochen and Yekaterina left the police station. Director Wu personally walked more than a hundred meters before reluctantly waving goodbye and turning around. He quietly ordered the two policemen to secretly protect the two of them and make sure they got home safely. His little heart could not bear the second impact.

The police station is in a secluded location, but a long row of bright street lights stretches into the distance. At the end of the road, the faint sound of square dancing can be heard.

Lilacs on both sides bloomed at night, and the air was filled with elegant fragrance. Yekaterina grabbed Shen Mochen's wrist and said nothing. The shadows of the two of them grew longer and shorter under the street lights, quietly. The sound of footsteps echoed in the night sky.

She has been silent since she left the police station. In other words, after encountering the gangsters, she became taciturn. She didn't speak, and Shen Mochen didn't speak either, and he was enjoying the tranquility.

"You... are very good at fighting." After an unknown amount of time, the two of them were about to walk to the busy street, and Ekaterina finally spoke softly.

Shen Mochen chuckled twice and said with high spirits: "In our original place, our parents were all dead. If we didn't know how to fight, we would have been chewed to the bone! Let me tell you. , fighting is nothing. If you have investigated me, you should know my first girlfriend. Don’t look at her. She is usually gentle and quiet. When we were children, we were bullied by adults, and she would always cut people with a knife! So! Her knife skills are so good, if she just lifts the knife and chops, neither I nor my sister can beat her!"

He raised his voice like a storyteller, his voice rising and falling.

There was no emotion on Ekaterina's face, and her eyes were absent-minded, as if she didn't care what Shen Mochen said.

"You acted decisively," she continued.

"You must be decisive. Do you have to ask him first what he is doing and if he can stop?" Shen Mochen shared his fighting experience with Yekaterina with a smile, "According to my many years of experience, if you can do it, you will never speak. It’s not too late to knock him down and call dad before saying anything! Otherwise, if you say another word, you will give him one more chance to fight back."

"Especially those with companions. If they fight in a group, we will definitely not be able to stop them by ourselves, so we need to quickly get rid of the leader before they react, so that they will be scared and may not dare to fight together. , this is called overwhelming them with momentum! Momentum in a fight is very important!"

"Also, do you know why I want to hit that fat guy first? Because he is at least over 200 pounds. If I hit him head-on, I will definitely not be able to beat him, so I have to use a sneak attack without any martial ethics to knock him down! "

Shen Mochen used his hands and feet together and spoke vividly, as if he really wanted to teach Ekaterina how to fight.

However, before Shen Mochen could finish speaking, Ekaterina gently interrupted him:

"You weren't like this at school."

Shen Mochen was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "That was when I was a poor man in the slums. Now I am a civilized person. Of course I can't fight and kill all day long. I have to be civilized. Be polite and abide by the rules of mainstream society!"

Ekaterina looked at Shen Mochen coldly, and the LED lights on a certain sign reflected in her pupils, like colorful ink poured into the cold lake water:

"So, when Gao Le bullied you, you were afraid?"

Shen Mochen turned away, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, but he could still force a smile at this time: "This is boring. We are all classmates, what do you mean by being afraid? Gao Le is also a pitiful person. He has been a licker for thousands of years. It’s understandable if it goes to the extreme, just be patient and let it pass!”

Yekaterina sneered: "Will it really go away? If he keeps bullying you, or even gets worse, you will still endure it and hide until graduation?"

Shen Mochen clenched his fists. Yekaterina's sarcastic words made him feel angry. He suppressed the irritability and said softly: "Then what can I do?" What? You are Ekaterina Alexandrova, the daughter of a noble earl of the Roman Empire. You are a very important figure in Gaotang Prefecture. Except for a few blind people, who would dare to provoke you easily? If you are frightened, the police chief will be frightened. If someone bullies you, he will not dare to fight back if you slap him on the spot. But who am I? I am just a little weed on the roadside, and I can bully my fellow idiots. What kind of person can I resist at Gao Le's level? Can I afford the price afterwards? If I don't think about myself, I should think about my family!"

By the end of the sentence, Shen Mochen had gritted his teeth, his face was burning, and he felt humiliated.

Ekaterina once again accurately hit the target: "Are you inferior to yourself?"

"Yes, that's right, congratulations on your correct answer! But is there a problem? The victim is you, and those who were beaten were a few gangsters, so justice is on my side! But if it is Gao Le who is beaten, the perpetrator is Will justice still be on my side? Will they still say that I was acting in self-defense because I was the one who was bullied first? Let me tell you the truth, I dared to hit someone like that just now because you were there , I can fake the power of a tiger. Do you know what a fox fakes the power of a tiger? The fox lets the tiger stand behind him, so he won't be afraid when he sees any beast. But without the courage of the tiger, he is just a scumbag!"

"Look at how powerful I, a little commoner, am in the police station. There are so many police officers trying to please me. But is that trying to please me? That's trying to please the noble king of beasts behind the fox! Of course you don't have to feel inferior. You are born into a noble family, and your family has oil and minerals! What about me? I am a beggar who has been picking food from trash cans since I was a child!"

Shen Mochen was suddenly ignited. He wanted to calm down at first, but he couldn't help but get more and more excited as he talked. In the end, his face turned red and he was almost roaring.

Yekaterina listened silently to Shen Mochen's words, her eyes gradually wavered, and then softened. She looked at Shen Mochen's face, held his hand for the first time, and solemnly said: "Gao Le's matter ,I can help you."

"Don't worry about it!"

Shen Mochen, who was still angry, waved Ekaterina away with a wave of his hand.

In fact, he really hoped that Ekaterina could help him solve this problem at first, but now he doesn't know why, but he just feels suffocated in his heart.

Yekaterina didn't feel dissatisfied after being thrown away. She bent slightly towards Su Mo, her voice full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you. You were coaxing me at first, trying to make me feel better. But I am deliberately irritating you. This is my fault, please forgive me."

Shen Mochen was stunned. Ekaterina's direct apology caught him off guard. He had never seen such a frank girl, especially when she was a noble Roman aristocrat.

This actually made him a little embarrassed. In fact, they had good intentions and hoped that he could resist the bullying at school. Besides, being so fussy with a girl made him look too stingy.

Shen Mochen then coughed awkwardly: "It doesn't matter, you were right, I was just too excited..."

"Does that mean you forgive me?"
