225: The thief cries "Stop thief!"

Even as fury surged within her, Lei Jun's mind remained exceptionally calm.

Her system-enhanced body allowed her to maintain powerful mobility and breath-holding capacity even underwater.

Facing the three men closing in, she did not panic.

In the instant the bald man shook the mask, thinking he was in complete control and wearing a smug smile, Lei Jun moved!

Her movements were as fast as lightning, trailing a string of bubbles in the water.

One hand precisely clamped onto the bald man's wrist holding the mask and squeezed hard!

The bald man grunted in pain and subconsciously let go. The mask fell and was easily caught by Lei Jun's other hand.

At the same time, she kicked the bald man in the abdomen, sending him tumbling backward.

Seeing this, the other two rushed forward to grab her. But their skills were nowhere near hers.

Like an underwater leopard, she used the water's resistance to redirect their momentum. With a few crisp, decisive moves, she left the two of them dazed and completely unable to resist.

In the blink of an eye, the three men who had been so arrogant moments ago were now curled up in pain or splashing about frantically.

She couldn't let them off that easily!

She swam over and, before they could recover, swiftly snatched the oxygen masks off all three of their faces!

Holding the three masks, she retreated a distance and watched them coldly.

The bald man and his companions panicked instantly!

Seawater rushed in, and the sensation of suffocation hit them!

They struggled desperately, flailing their limbs to swim toward Lei Jun and grab the masks, but she avoided them easily. They pointed at their throats, pleading looks on their faces, shaking their heads frantically.

The bald man's heart was filled with fear and disbelief.

What was with this woman?

How were her skills so terrifying?

Wasn't she afraid of drowning them?

He really couldn't breathe; his lungs felt like they were going to explode, and his vision was turning black.

The shadow of death loomed over him.

Only now did he truly understand how the people they had bullied felt.

He regretted it—he truly regretted it. He shouldn't have provoked this harbinger of death!

He gestured desperately for mercy.

Lei Jun watched their struggle coldly.

These scumbags had been so arrogant when taking someone else's mask, yet they looked this pathetic when it was their turn.

She had a grudge to settle and really wanted to let them suffer a bit longer.

But she knew she couldn't actually kill anyone.

That would bring unnecessary trouble, and she wasn't a murderer.

She just wanted to give them a lesson they would never forget.

Only when she saw their struggles weaken and their eyes start to roll back as they neared unconsciousness did Lei Jun swim over and shove the masks back onto their faces.

The three men immediately clutched their masks like dying fish, gasping for air. Their bodies went limp, and the looks they gave Lei Jun were full of terror; they no longer dared to harbor any ill intentions.

Lei Jun ignored them and began to ascend rapidly.

She didn't know how Su Qing and the others were doing; she had to get up and check.

When Lei Jun surfaced and reached the shore, she found the atmosphere was off.

Su Qing was pale with reddened eyes, while Su Ya was softly comforting her, looking shaken herself.

Lin Xiaoya's face was flushed with anger as she complained to Tony.

Qin Yu also had a look of fury on his face.

Zhao Ya, Lei Ying, and Lei Yue stood to the side with cold expressions. Only the three of them, thanks to their exceptional skills, hadn't let those instructors get their way underwater.

"What happened?" Lei Jun asked.

Upon asking, she learned that everyone except the four of them had been forced to take photos!

Su Qing had several taken, costing her nearly three thousand.

Because Lin Xiaoya looked young and easy to bully, she was surrounded by Shoulder Dragon and his cohorts, who forced her to take ten photos and demanded nine thousand!

Tony and Qin Yu were also photographed, though fewer times, but they were still extorted for one or two thousand each.

Hearing about everyone's ordeal, especially how Lin Xiaoya had been bullied the most, the fire in Lei Jun's heart flared up again!

These dregs of society!

To dare to commit such blatant robbery and coercion in a tourist area in broad daylight!

This was no longer simple commercial fraud; this was a crime!

Her expression darkened. She was about to tell Lei Ying to call the police and have Lei Yue prepare to preserve evidence for subsequent legal proceedings.

Just then, the bald man, supported by his companions, stumbled over.

His face was still pale, but his eyes were filled with malice and rage as he looked at Lei Jun.

He pointed at Lei Jun, his voice raspy from choking on water but full of aggression: "You! And you few!"

He pointed at Lei Ying, Lei Yue, and Zhao Ya.

"You injured our people underwater! This silver-haired bitch almost drowned me and my brother! This isn't over!"

He caught his breath and said viciously, "Now, it's not just about that small change for the photos! You must pay fifty thousand in compensation for our medical bills and losses!"

"Then, get on your knees and apologize! Otherwise, we'll call the police! We'll sue you for intentional injury and attempted murder!"

He twisted the truth and made false accusations with righteous indignation.

Lei Jun was almost driven to laughter by the absurdity!

It was rare to see someone with skin this thick and a nature this shameless!

A thief crying thief, and shouting so loudly at that?

She had intended to call the police anyway, but she hadn't expected the other party to beat her to it and use such a ridiculous reason to threaten her.

Lei Jun looked at him coldly and said to Lei Ying, "Call the police. Now."

She wanted to see if these guys would still be this arrogant once the police arrived.

Seeing Lei Ying actually take out her phone to call the police, Su Qing felt a bit of the frustration in her chest ease.

She looked at the bald man and Shoulder Dragon, summoning her courage to say, "Just you wait! The police are coming! You committed extortion and almost drowned someone—you're finished!"

To her surprise, upon hearing Su Qing's words, the bald man and Shoulder Dragon weren't afraid; instead, they glanced at each other and burst into arrogant laughter.

"We're finished?" The bald man laughed so hard he doubled over. "I think it's you guys who are finished!"

Shoulder Dragon pointed directly at Lei Jun and the others, hurling insults: "A bunch of idiots! You country bumpkins from out of town! You dare to challenge us here? Just you wait!"

They escalated their behavior, spewing a constant stream of filth. They didn't just insult Lei Jun, but Su Qing, Lin Xiaoya, Tony, and the others as well, using extremely foul language.

Lei Jun's gaze sharpened.

Calling the police was one thing, but she didn't want to tolerate that foul mouth for another second!

She gave a look to Lei Ying, Lei Yue, and Zhao Ya.

The three understood immediately.

Just as the bald man was in the middle of his most vigorous cursing, Lei Jun moved!

Lei Ying, Lei Yue, and Zhao Ya also struck at the same time!

The four of them were like four shadows, instantly charging into the middle of the bald man's group.

These men were no match for them; they didn't even have a chance to resist before being pummeled. They cried out for their parents and scrambled to escape, eventually all ending up flat on the ground with bruised faces, wailing incessantly.

The bald man received special attention and was beaten the most severely.

He lay on the ground, grimacing in pain, but his eyes were filled with even more venom.
