Chapter 208
Jingui and the others are here.
The stall owners who had a good relationship with them were all uncles and brothers. It was rare for a few sisters-in-law to come. Their faces looked familiar, so they should be neighbors nearby.
As soon as they heard that there was a thief in Zhong Qiao's house, they rushed over to help. Some of them held brooms, and some even held steel forks.
This thief will definitely not have an easy time.
"Sister Zhong Qiao!" Jin Gui was the first to rush in with a mop in hand, her demeanor so arrogant. "Sister Zhong Qiao, don't be afraid, we're here."
"Hurry, hurry," someone said. "You guys, quickly surround the house. We can't let this thief get away. Last time, those traffickers got away. This time, we must catch him. Otherwise, no one will dare to come into our yard anymore. Who will dare to let their children play outside anymore?"
"That's right." Someone chimed in, "It's really outrageous and arrogant. This yard is like their own home."
A group of people were chattering and indignant, but they were still very quick in getting things done and immediately surrounded the entire yard.
Xu Shaojun also heard the noise and immediately became frightened, banging on the door even harder: "Zhong Qiao, you got the wrong person. It's not me. I just came to borrow money. I'm not the thief."
"I saw the thief, but he ran away. I didn't do anything."
"Zhong Qiao, you can't do this to me!"
Xu Shaojun went crazy.
The thing he loved most in his life was his face. Even when he was at his lowest point, he was determined not to let others see him make a fool of himself. If he let others see him make a fool of himself, he would rather die.
But today, Zhong Qiao made him lose all face.
"Zhong Qiao." Xu Shaojun panted, "You'd better open the door for me, otherwise, even if we don't have any grudges against each other, we will become enemies in the future."
"Zhong Qiao, you will definitely regret this."
As he said this, Jin Gui and the others rushed in.
"Sister Zhong Qiao." Seeing that she was fine, Jin Gui rushed to her. "You are too impulsive. You can't even wait a few minutes. What if you rush in alone and run into bad guys? You're a weak woman and you can't fight them."
"I'm fine." Zhong Qiao had calmed down. "I know my limits. Don't worry. You came at the right time. Look—"
She raised her hand and pointed at the door.
"I have caught the thief."
Jin Gui's eyes were full of stars: "Sister Zhong Qiao, you are so amazing. You actually subdued him by yourself."
The big man next to him wiped his sweat and said, "Sister Zhong Qiao, this is too dangerous. Don't do this again. You have children too. If something happens, it will be terrible."
His words were rather tactful, but Zhong Qiao still understood them.
"Brother, don't worry. I was indeed impulsive this time, but I won't do it again next time."
The eldest brother didn't want the atmosphere to become so awkward, so he laughed and tried to smooth things over: "Sister Zhong Qiao, please stop being such a pessimist. Who would expect this kind of thing to happen again?"
Zhong Qiao and Jin Gui smiled, and the tense atmosphere seemed to have become less uncomfortable.
"Leave the rest to us men." The eldest brother rolled up his sleeves and looked towards the noisy commotion coming from the room with a resolute gaze. "This thief must be taught a lesson. Don't worry, I've already called the police. Even if he doesn't get skinned alive, he'll at least be humiliated."
"I want to see which little thief is so shameless as to steal from people in our yard!"
"Fortunately, no one was hurt."
Zhong Qiao's expression changed.
Oh, how could she have forgotten about this? She hadn't checked on her parents' safety yet.
"Jin Gui, keep an eye on this place." Zhong Qiao gave the order and turned to go into his parents' room. Although he prayed countless times in his heart, praying that his parents were okay, the next second, Zhong Qiao almost fell to his knees with weak legs.
"Mom and Dad!" she screamed miserably.
Blood, all blood.
The parents were lying in a pool of blood, one in front and one behind. It was obvious that the father had fought with the gangster to protect his mother, or maybe they were ambushed. Zhong Qiao couldn't guess.
The only thing that is certain is that the parents were injured and lying in a pool of blood, their life or death uncertain.
"Sister Zhong Qiao." Jin Gui hurried over when she heard the noise, and was also shocked by the bloody scene in front of her.
"Uncle and aunt."
It was really too cruel. Jin Gui tried hard to suppress the fear that was about to burst out of her throat. Her uncle and aunt were such good people, could this be possible?
No, that's not true!
"Sister Zhong Qiao, my uncle and aunt are very lucky. They may have only suffered minor injuries." Her voice was trembling uncontrollably. "I'll go call the hospital right now."
After saying that, she ran out.
"What's wrong?" The eldest brother wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jingui who kept retching.
Just one look and the eldest brother understood. He stopped and sighed silently.
"Dad." Zhong Qiao squatted down, trying to stay calm and checked his breathing.
I breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness I was still breathing.
Then he went to check on his mother's condition. Compared to his father's injuries, Zhong's mother only suffered some minor skin injuries. At least from the outside, it seemed that Zhong's mother was just frightened and fainted.
Zhong Qiao held their hands tightly together in a pool of blood, tears already streaming down her face.
"Si Qi."
That’s right!
And Siqi.
She tried to stay calm and stood up, went to the room to look for Siqi, lifted the quilt, but there was no one there.
Zhong Qiao's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Now she could only pray silently. Siqi and Xiaohe had become closer recently, and the two young people often made plans to go out and play. Maybe this time they just played late and didn't come back.
Zhong Qiao wiped away her tears.
Xu Shaojun in the room was still roaring helplessly: "Zhong Qiao, you vicious woman, how dare you plot against me? Did you deliberately trick me here? You guessed I would come to your house a long time ago, so you framed me?!"
"Zhong Qiao, I'm too kind. I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
Some people had already come in and heard the voice, saying, "Sister Zhong Qiao, do you want to block his mouth?"
Zhong Qiao walked over slowly, his eyes were numb and indifferent, and finally turned into calmness.
She even smiled and said something that no one expected: "Open the door."
"Sister Zhong Qiao?" someone asked incredulously, "Let him out. What if he gets hurt?"
"Yes, Sister Zhong Qiao, we know you're in a bad mood right now. After all, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, but you can't give up on yourself, and you can't be impulsive. If something happens to you, how are we going to explain it to your grandparents?"
Zhong Qiao's eyes were still numb as he repeated, "Open the door, all of you go out first. I have something to say to him. No one is allowed to come in."
