Chapter 678: 350 Various States (Eight More Updates)

The young girl plucked a flower with one hand, her fingers rolling prayer beads between them one by one.

Her eyebrows had a gentle yet compassionate arch, giving rise to all that is good and destroying all that is evil.

Let the world slander, insult, deceive and defame me, I fear nothing.

Clad in spotless white, my heart like glass, pure and compassionate.

Alone and unencumbered, my heart unattached.

Seeking nothing, fearing no loss.

Gradually, the jeers died down; everyone gazed at the girl in white, feeling like fools who had been dancing.

Maybe… they had really wronged her.

As soon as this thought arose, anger stirred in everyone again, egged on by Zhu Xiangxiang and Tang Wan.

For a moment, everyone’s hearts wavered back and forth, torn between two minds.

“Ming Jing…”

Qu Feitai and Liu Muxue stood on either side of her, like guardians protecting her.

Ming Jing looked at them; of all the people who questioned her, only these two stood unwaveringly by her side.

“Ming Jing, let me take you away from here. We’ll go back to Jingzhou, and as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully you.”

Qu Feitai grabbed Mingjing, ready to leave.

“Ming Jing, come with me to Liuxian Town. I’m the boss there, and if anyone dares to say anything about you, I’ll bash their heads in.” Liu Muxue grabbed Ming Jing’s other hand.

Ming Jing stood her ground, calmly saying, “I won’t go anywhere.”

As she spoke, she shook her arms lightly, both Qu Feitai and Liu Muxue felt their arm go numb and let go of Ming Jing involuntarily.

“Having the two of you as my friends is my greatest fortune in this life,” Ming Jing smiled faintly.

Liu Muxue’s eyes welled up with tears, “Ming Jing, why would you say that?”

“I’m with you, too, Ming Jing,” Bai Ziyan ran over. “Don’t forget about me, we’re good buddies, and I can’t stand by when a brother is in trouble.”

“Me, too,” Song Yinzhang joined in.

“Ming Jing!” Xie Zhen pushed through the crowd and rushed over, “I will always believe in you unconditionally.”

Zhao Heng followed behind Xie Zhen, expressing everything with his actions.

Ming Jing scanned the young faces in front of her, “Today my reputation is ruined, and you choose to stand with me. Are you not afraid to be at odds with the world?”

“Not afraid,” Xie Zhen shook his head resolutely.

“The people of this world are all fools, so easily swayed by a madman’s instigation to question you. I disdain to associate with such fools. I won’t listen to others, I only trust my own heart.”

Liu Muxue laughed and slapped Xie Zhen on the shoulder, “Well said. A bunch of self-righteous fools.”

Liu Muxue’s words made the implicated fools in the crowd feel anger and guilt.

Jiang Jinchen stood on the edge of the crowd, clenching and unclenching his fists, taking a step forward.

Jiang Chunlan glanced at him.

Jiang Jinchen looked back at Jiang Chunlan and, in the end, took that step forward.

He chose to be a disobedient child.

“Ming Jing,” Jiang Jinchen walked in front of her and looked deeply into her eyes.

Ming Jing’s eyes flickered, “Senior, you don’t have to do this. Madam will be angry.”

“I can’t just sit back and watch you be wronged. What do you plan to do with today’s incident?”

He knew that Ming Jing must have a way to deal with it, as she was so smart that it was impossible for her not to have seen through Zhu Xiangxiang’s scheme.

She could have stopped it from the beginning, but she allowed the situation to escalate to such a serious level, which was contrary to Ming Jing’s character.

This could only mean that Ming Jing wanted to lay her cards on the table.

Only Zhu Xiangxiang, who was still so smug, had no idea that she had fallen into the trap of a mastermind.

Ming Jing raised her eyebrows and the two shared a knowing smile.

“Thank you all for your understanding and support. I will repay your kindness when the opportunity arises.”

Xie Zhen cried, leaning on Liu Muxue’s shoulder.

Qu Feitai calmed down, seemingly understanding something. He glanced at Jiang Jinchen, pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

At this moment, someone shouted, “Make way, make way, the police are here to handle the case.”

Everyone looked up and saw several uniformed police officers walking in, led by none other than the famous police captain Li Ling. He had handled countless major cases and his reputation precedes him in police circles. As the story goes, he has a piercing gaze that could tell whether or not a person had committed a crime with one look. He had recently returned from Yunzhou after tracking down a gang of criminals.

As soon as everyone saw him, they unconsciously tightened up, feeling nervous even though they had done nothing wrong.

Today’s commotion had drawn the attention of Li Ling, and the matter wouldn’t be resolved easily.
