Pulling back the restless Zhuang Yan, Han Ming also leaned closer to listen to what was being said inside and what had happened.

After listening intently to the old woman's accusations for a while, I finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that the chubby little boy who kept crying was the old lady's grandson, who was probably in kindergarten.

It's summer vacation, so the old lady's daughter and son-in-law sent their child over to stay with her for a few days.

Today, my grandson got bored watching cartoons at home and started asking for KFC and ice cream. His grandmother, who loves her grandson dearly, quickly brought them over.

On this sweltering day, right at mealtime, the restaurant was packed with people queuing up to buy food.

At this moment, the evil trio of thugs appeared. Han Ming couldn't understand why these three bad guys had appeared in Xiaqiao Town before.

How come they've even managed to roam into the county town now? They really are thieves who roam the world!

As soon as they appeared in the restaurant, just as Han Ming had suspected, they were up to no good and were up to no good.

Three pairs of thieving eyes scanned the people in the restaurant, hoping to take advantage of the crowd to steal something.

Sure enough, my eyes fell on the little chubby boy's neck and I noticed a red string.

When it comes to children, the adults in the family will always put a gold peanut, a gold Maitreya Buddha, or a jade pendant on them.

These three thugs, upon seeing the game, decided to get their hands on it, sell it for some money, and then go over there to steal chickens and dogs.

Squeezing through the crowd, they saw that the little boy was wearing something golden around his neck that looked quite heavy. Unable to contain their excitement, the three of them immediately divided up the tasks.

Two people provided cover while a skinny monkey took out a small pair of scissors to cut the red rope.

Perhaps I was a little nervous when I started, or perhaps the restaurant was just too crowded.

Just as the skinny monkey was about to cut the little boy's neck, his hand trembled, and he accidentally cut the skin off the back of the boy's neck.

Although he got the item, the little boy felt pain and began to feel it.

The chubby little boy touched the back of his neck and found his hand covered in blood. He was so frightened by this that he started to cry.

The grandmother, who was a little ahead in the queue, heard her grandson crying. She turned her head and saw blood on his chubby little hands. Then she noticed that the gold Buddha pendant around his neck was gone, so she quickly looked up to look for it.

These three thugs deserved their bad luck. When the little boy started crying, the skinny guy who was in charge of cutting things panicked and quickly stuffed what he had gotten into his pocket.

But he forgot about the long red thread, and in his nervousness, he didn't tuck it all in, leaving a section sticking out.

The old woman was quite old, but her eyesight was still very good, and she happened to see her again.

Seeing the man sneaking out in a hurry, the old woman was convinced that he was the thief.

Seeing that her grandson had only a few scrapes and was otherwise unharmed, she quickly grabbed her grandson and ran outside to chase after him.

The skinny monkey hadn't expected anyone to catch up so quickly, and with people constantly coming in through the door, he hadn't gone far before the old woman grabbed him.

He turned around and saw an old woman, but he wasn't afraid, since he had two helpers.

He didn't know that the old woman had just bought the gold Buddha for her nephew a few days ago and had it blessed by a monk at a temple.

My precious grandson hadn't even had a chance to wear it for long before it fell into the wrong hands of a thief. He was furious and, in his desperation, he used all his strength to hold onto the skinny monkey.

The two men who were keeping watch nearby saw that things were not going well, so they came over to help, hoping to get rid of the old woman's entanglement as soon as possible and run away.

Unexpectedly, the old woman was quite strong and held on tightly, refusing to let go, while constantly shouting "Stop thief!"

This attracted quite a crowd, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate not far from the entrance as they pulled and tugged at each other.

These three guys are such idiots. They were caught stealing, but instead of running away, they argued with the old woman and even threatened her.

They really think they're gangsters, believing that a few harsh words will make people cower and let them go. They're just asking for trouble.

While listening to the old woman's accusations, Han Ming had already scanned the three men with his X-ray glasses. Sure enough, one of the skinny monkeys had a gold Buddha pendant and a small pair of scissors in his pocket.

It's that guy again, the one who was brandishing a dagger in the workers' shed that night. After messing around with the dagger, now he's playing with scissors. Does he really think he's Li Xunhuan (the Flying Dagger Master)?

Seeing that there were quite a few onlookers, mostly elderly people, the three thugs feared that staying too long would be detrimental to them and that someone might call the police, so they were eager to escape.

The guy with the green snake tattoo on his arm slapped the old woman's arm hard, trying to make her let go.

Seeing this, Han Ming realized that the three thugs were about to resort to violence, so he and Zhuang Yan, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly put down what they were holding, pushed through the crowd, and squeezed in.

The three thugs saw two people walk out of the crowd, and upon closer inspection, they recognized one of them as a familiar face.

Isn't that the guy who helped that middle-aged man fight his gang in front of the Xiaqiao Town Police Station? Damn, he's like a persistent ghost, I run into him everywhere I go.

The tattooed thug learned his lesson last time and couldn't beat Liang Jianxing in a one-on-one fight.

Seeing that Han Ming and Zhuang Yan are only two people, while there are three of us on our side, we shouldn't suffer any more losses, right?

However, just to be on the safe side, the tattooed thug didn't rush to make a move. He thought he should first scare Han Ming and Zhuang Yan with a warning, hoping to frighten them away.

If they couldn't scare them off, they could at least boost their own morale. So, they did what they did in gangster movies before a fight: they challenged each other.

Unfortunately, he forgot his usual ignorance and foul language; he couldn't stand speaking without using profanity.

He had no idea that Zhuang Yan had been waiting for him for a long time. Zhuang Yan knew that these bastards were the ones who wanted to rape Liang Qi.

My hands have been itching for a while; I won't feel right until I teach them a lesson.

Seeing that there was still a bastard who dared to provoke him, he took a step forward and kicked the tattooed thug in the stomach.

Goodness gracious! People from this military unit are truly exceptional, even if they're just soldiers in a communications unit.

That kick was so powerful it felt like it was flying. If it were a special forces soldier, they'd kick a hole right in the stomach.

The tattooed thug was kicked back several steps by Zhuang Yan and landed hard on his backside.

His fleshy face turned a deep liver color, his mouth was open, and his tongue was sticking out, as if he were about to die.

When the onlookers, who already knew the truth, saw that a fight had broken out, they all took a few steps back.

The old woman who was pulling the skinny monkey also widened her eyes. She felt that the two young men who suddenly appeared must be the people who came to help her.

The chubby little boy who was clinging to his grandmother's clothes stopped crying. Perhaps in his eyes, the appearance of Han Ming and Zhuang Yan was like the appearance of Pleasant Goat in an animated film.

Or perhaps the Armor Heroes have appeared, because these two uncles are fighting the bad guys.
