Chapter 31 Something's Wrong
After being beaten, Ma Zi didn't dare to get angry. He huddled in the corner, feeling very wronged, and covered his face, saying, "Boss, what do you suggest we do?"
Scarface rubbed his chin and said with a lewd look, "That's easy. We'll take care of the two little ones when no one's looking, and then we'll make our move when the big one comes looking for us."
Ma Zi said obsequiously, "The boss is indeed the boss. No wonder you're so smart."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, did you bring everything?"
"I brought it, I brought it. This is our livelihood. Even if we don't bring anything else, we still have to bring this."
Ma Zi took two bottles out of his pocket.
Scarface nodded in satisfaction after looking at it, thinking that the kid was useful.
Lu Mingyue was unaware that she was being targeted.
The sun was making some people's throats a little dry. Looking at the small shop not far away, Lu Mingyue swallowed and felt a little urge to drink soda.
"Leilei, Yaoyao, shall we buy a few bottles of soda?"
The two children rarely drink soda. Huo Zheng only buys it for them when he takes them to the county town when he is not busy.
Hearing her say that, the two children licked their lips, somewhat tempted.
Yao Yao nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Mom, I want to drink soda."
Where's Leilei?
Lu Mingyue watched the little guy playing with the cotton rope.
Leilei said hesitantly, "I want to drink it too."
Although Lu Mingyue hadn't known her for long, she could sense the hostility emanating from him.
Normally, he either stays silent or lets Yao Yao act as a messenger.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to express her inner thoughts. Lu Mingyue's lips curled up slightly, it seemed that she had accurately captured what children like.
"Let's go buy them together."
The soft drink stand was only a hundred meters away, a few minutes' walk. Lei Lei was a little worried when he saw that their backpacks and other belongings were still there.
"I'll be waiting for you here."
Lu Mingyue was a little worried about his safety, as it wasn't uncommon for a child to be here alone, since child snatching in the street had happened before.
Even now, they need to be more careful, as the combination of one adult and two children makes them easy targets for others.
She picked up her backpack and slung it over her shoulder, holding one child's hand in each hand. "Come on, let's go together."
Ma Zi and Scarface followed them, watching the three of them happily drink soda and eat snacks in the park.
The two of them squatted for two whole hours and were getting a little hungry.
"Boss, when are we going to make our move? If we don't act now, we'll miss our chance."
As it grew darker, they knew that if they didn't hurry back, the path up the mountain would be difficult and they would have to put in a lot of effort.
Scarface spat. He pulled something from his pocket, looked around, and said, "We can't wait any longer, let's get started."
I don't believe those two strong, muscular men can't handle these three little chicks.
Ma Zi rubbed his hands together, eager to try, "Alright!"
At the same time, Lu Mingyue felt that it was getting late and it was not safe to stay in the park, so she thought she might as well go to the police station to wait for Huo Zheng.
Before I had gone two steps, a shadow was cast in front of me.
The setting sun shone on Scarface's face, making the scar, which ran from the middle of his eyebrow to his chin, appear even more terrifying.
Yao Yao hid behind her mother, a little scared.
Leilei held his younger sister's hand, stood in front of her, and shielded her behind him.
Lu Mingyue gripped her backpack tightly, looking nervously at the person in front of her. The other person seemed to have ill intentions and was clearly not a good person.
With two children in tow, she couldn't act impulsively, so she led them to a side path and prepared to continue on her way.
Unexpectedly, the two of them blocked her way again.
Now, Lu Mingyue was 100% certain that they had come specifically for them.
She said coldly, "What do you want?"
Ma Zi smiled and said, "Young comrade, it's nothing, I just have some things I'd like to discuss with you."
He leaned forward, his face almost touching Lu Mingyue's, his pockmarked face rapidly magnified in front of her.
At such close range, Lu Mingyue could clearly smell the stench emanating from his mouth, causing her to take two steps back from the stench.
"I have nothing to discuss with you. If you don't leave, I'm calling for help."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Scarface kicked Pockmarked Man.
A woman's intuition told Lu Mingyue that something was very wrong, so she grabbed the two children's hands and ran back quickly.
He ran while shouting for help.
No matter how much they shouted, there were hardly any people in the park at that moment, and even the shops that had been selling things earlier were now closed.
Scarface and Pockmark dared to make their move because they chose the right time, specifically when the store was closing.
Leilei and Yaoyao, not daring to delay, followed their mother's footsteps with their short little legs.
Driving two at once was too tiring, and Scarface caught up with them with almost no effort.
He sneered and said, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Didn't you understand when we were talking to you nicely?"
"You big bad guys, what do you want to do?"
Leilei protected his mother and sister like a little hero.
Scarface looked at the kid in front of him and couldn't help but sneer, "Kid, you're not even as tall as my leg! Stop trying to be a hero."
Scarface had committed so many crimes, his eyes were filled with a vicious look, clearly showing signs of having seen blood.
Lei Lei's legs trembled slightly as he was stared at, but he remained standing there without moving an inch.
Lu Mingyue panicked and mentally pleaded for help from the system.
[System, help!]
The system was also a little panicked, as there was absolutely no mention in the story that they would encounter these two people.
The system was somewhat helpless in the face of the suddenly appearing NPC.
【What can we do? You can't just watch us, mother and child, die.】
Lu Mingyue remembered that there were some things in the system that could be used in advance, so she urged the system to search for them.
The system looked at the screen full of gray and panicked for the first time.
[Damn it, host! My permissions aren't high enough; I can't use any of these things.]
Lu Mingyue: !!!
What did she say again?
It doesn't even have anything to save its life, yet it claims it's not a low-spec system.
Faced with the host's condemnation, the system remained silent for the first time, eager to find something to save its life.
Suddenly, glancing around, the system noticed some inconspicuous items in the corner of the screen.
[Host, we're saved! Here's some pepper spray you can exchange for, but you need to complete 10 tasks first.]
Lu Mingyue was numb; she already owed too many tasks.
This means that she will be working for free for a long time to come.
However, the situation was critical, and there was no other way but to use it; nothing was more important than one's own life and the life of one's child.
[Change it, change it, change it now!]
Any later and she would have been dead.
The system rapidly taps the finger.
【bite-】
Lu Mingyue felt something in her hand, and while she was dealing with the two people in front of her, she suddenly sprayed the thing on their faces.
He then grabbed the two children and ran, followed by two cries of pain from behind.
