Chapter 179: An Inexplicable Situation
A few men in black and several police officers stared blankly at a beautiful girl forcing herself on what looked like a vulnerable youth. The pitiful young man cried out in pain, looking utterly miserable.
The men in black never expected their powerful boss would be subjugated so easily. They immediately averted their eyes and turned to leave, afraid they would draw attention to themselves and Guan Lei’s wrath.
The police were equally dumbfounded, but not for the same reasons. Someone introducing themself as the sister to the captive had called, informing them that his sister was being imprisoned in Observation Room 201 of Zhuo Ying High School’s infirmary. Yet, from the look of things, the girl was forcing herself on the young man and not the other way around.
"Miss, are you forcing yourself on this young man?" An officer piped up.
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei and then back at the people crowding at the door with complicated expressions on their faces. She immediately got up, flustered and uncertain. "It isn’t what you think," she hurriedly explained, "We were just exercising."
The words left her mouth before she had time to register what she said properly. Exercising? That sounded no less damning than forcing herself on Guan Lei. She quickly corrected herself, "No, no! I mean, we were stretching... just now..."
Shen Xi felt that no matter how she tried to explain, it always seemed wrong. Ultimately, she stared at the floor, mumbling, "It was an accident... It was an accident..."
Guan Lei, still lying in bed, watched in amusement as Shen Xi babbled nonsensically, at a complete loss for words. The more she spoke, the darker her cheeks coloured. After a while, he could not suppress the smile or the bark of laughter that shook his prone form.
