In fact, even without Wei's reminder, Craig and Milo had already put down everything they were doing and ran out to the balcony.
Following closely behind them were Wei and Baobao, whose mind was completely taken over by panic.
Before she had taken two steps, her little foot accidentally kicked the table leg. She screamed in pain and fell forward to the ground.
"Bang bang!"
Hearing the noise behind him, Wei, who had already run to the balcony and was about to climb onto the eaves, looked down and was suddenly shocked.
Baobao looked painful, holding her ankle with one hand, and crystal tears were swirling in her red and swollen eyes.
"Wei, I sprained my foot..."
At this moment, the door of the room was completely opened, and they followed the younger-looking young man of the two into the room.
I was wondering why I felt like someone was watching me the whole time. Turns out it was you guys...
Li Lin held his right elbow with his left hand, placed his right index finger on his chin, and said in a slightly surprised tone, "Wow, are you guys gathering people to play mahjong?"
Wei looked at Baobao worriedly for a moment, then gritted her teeth and jumped back onto the balcony.
"Wei, don't go back, you will be caught!" Milo shouted anxiously on the roof.
But there was no way Wei would abandon her sister.
"You guys go ahead and leave us alone!"
Wei quickly ran to Baobao, hugged her in her arms, and stared at the owner of the house with cold eyes.
"We won't abandon you two!" Craig said in a muffled voice, and he also jumped back by grabbing the eaves and walked behind Wei.
"You, you are all crazy!" Milo said this, but he followed Craig and jumped back to the balcony.
"What? You came to my studio to steal things, and you want to beat me up just because you're in numbers?"
Li Lin couldn't help but laugh when he saw the three people who were staring at him covetously.
"We just came in to take a look, we didn't take anything!" Wei defended herself to him unsurely.
"Climb up to the top floor and come in through the balcony, right?" Li Lin shook his head and chuckled. "Oh, right, I remember what the Piltover law says? It's called attempted theft, right?
"If you get caught, you'll be in jail for at least two years... Besides, you stole from the Gilaman family. I don't think the law enforcement officers will let you off easily."
"Wei, why are you still wasting time talking to him? Let's go up and knock him down, no one will know." Milo stared at Li Lin fiercely and rubbed his hands together.
"Eh? If that's the case, you'll be charged with assault, and I'm a craftsman from the Gilaman family. Guess how many more years you'll be sentenced to?"
Li Lin said this with a smile, but he actually just wanted to scare these ignorant children.
After all, he had some friendship with Vander, and he was the one who adopted these four children.
Sometimes, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
As the leader of Zaun's Black Alley, being able to make friends with Vandel will only benefit him and not harm him.
What's more, the sisters in front of him are people Li Lin is familiar with, and there is some affection between them.
No matter what, he would never send them to jail.
However, the four children took his words seriously.
Wei patted Baobao's shoulders lightly twice, then stood up expressionlessly and looked at Li Lin with eyes that seemed to be free of any emotion.
"These are all my ideas. If you let them go, I can go with you to the police station to face legal trial."
"Wei?" Baobao stared at his sister's slender back, his mouth wide open in shock.
"What?!" Milo, looking panicked, pressed her shoulders. "Why are you doing this?"
"This is not your fault alone. We also have responsibilities. We can't let you bear it alone." Craig also echoed.
Baobao, who was still sitting on the ground, was already in tears and sobbing uncontrollably.
"You guys..." Wei's eyes reddened slightly, "No! Vandel still needs you guys. I'm enough to take the responsibility."
She shook off Milo's hand, strode towards Li Lin, and stopped about one meter in front of him.
"Let them go and arrest me."
"Puchi..." Li Lin couldn't help laughing when he saw the serious expressions of these children.
Wei's brows furrowed, "What are you laughing at?"
"I remembered something happy... ahem."
Li Lin waved his hand, turned around, closed the door and locked it.
Then, under the surprised gazes of Wei, Craig and Milo, he walked straight to the chair in front of his workbench and sat down.
"What do you mean?" Wei frowned even more tightly.
"If Vander knew you were so responsible, would he feel relieved?" Li Lin looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him jokingly.
Milo, who was sitting at the table, said in surprise, "You know Fandel?!"
"Of course, otherwise why would I go to Fulgrim's Tavern? Didn't you follow me here from the tavern?"
Everyone looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Milo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What? You should have told us earlier. You made us so worried."
"The fear of stealing from me is the least of your worries."
After being choked by Li Lin, Mi Luo felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to speak again.
"I'm truly sorry, we didn't know you were a friend of Vandel's."
Wei scratched her messy hair awkwardly, feeling puzzled and indignant at the same time.
Vandel actually has friends in the Upper City. Isn’t he very hostile to the people of Piltover?
