He Wenlin recalled Yu Xiaoqiao's harsh words.
Could it be someone she called in to help? Are they really going to use this bullying tactic on me?
He Wenlin wasn't a real junior high school student, so naturally she wasn't afraid, but she was genuinely angry.
She asked coldly, "What do you want?"
The tall, blond girl tilted her head, put her hands in her pockets, chewed gum, and said with an air of superiority, "We heard you're rich and powerful at school, so a few of us wanted to borrow some money from you."
He Wenlin: "So you're collecting protection money?"
The tall, blond-haired woman said, "Yes, protection money. As long as you pay on time, we will definitely protect you and not let anyone bully you."
"So who's the boss? What should we call you from now on? Does our gang have any official title?" He Wenlin asked as she took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag, opened it, and handed it to them.
Seeing how sensible and understanding He Wenlin was, the four of them softened their attitude considerably.
"Call me Sister Lan from now on," the tall, blond-haired woman said, lighting a cigarette and puffing out smoke.
"Call me Sister Na."
"Call me Brother Snake."
"I am Wolf Brother," Wolf Brother said. "You're pretty savvy. You think you can get rid of us with just a pack of cigarettes? It's not that easy. Hand over your mobile phone and money."
Knowing that he had a mobile phone, the person Yu Xiaoqiao had found was undoubtedly the one.
He Wenlin laughed and said, "My family is in business. The mobile phone I have is used. If it's for the older sisters and brothers, it definitely needs to be a new one. How about this? I'll call my brother now and ask him to bring back my New Year's money so I can buy you new ones. What do you think? I have several thousand yuan in New Year's money. I can buy four new ones and still have some left over."
Upon hearing that it would be several thousand yuan in New Year's money, the four of them immediately changed their expressions and were tempted.
"You're not lying to us, are you?" Wolf Brother asked, sizing up He Wenlin.
"You're all bosses, don't you even have this much guts?"
The girl with blond hair grabbed He Wenlin's bag, pulled out her mobile phone and more than two hundred yuan in cash, and said fiercely, "Bring all your New Year's money over before morning self-study tomorrow. We'll be waiting for you at the school gate. If you dare not take it, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"OK."
He Wenlin smiled as she watched them leave, then slowly walked out of the school and got into the car.
"Why did it take so long?" Mr. He asked.
"I encountered four thugs who cornered me at the top of the stairs on the fifth floor, extorted 200 yuan from me, and stole my phone!"
"What?!" Mr. He screamed. "Where are those people? Are they still around?"
“They’ve already left. They told me to bring several thousand yuan tomorrow, or they’ll make me suffer,” He Wenlin said. “I think two of them are already adults. These social scum who extort money shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. Dad, let’s call the police.”
"Would calling the police do any good?" He's father said. "No, I'm not calling. Tomorrow I'll bring your brothers over and we'll teach these bastards a lesson!"
Do you really think they're easy to bully because they're from out of town?
"No, let's call the police first. If the police can't handle it, then we'll deal with it ourselves. I've only been at school for one day, and they already know I have a mobile phone. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?"
"You mean they were instigated by someone else?" Mr. He was even more surprised. "You're all still children."
“What’s wrong with the child? The child already knows how to kill and bury bodies,” He Wenlin said. “I just had a conflict with someone today, and they were waiting for me here tonight. They even knew I had a mobile phone. What a coincidence.”
He Wenlin picked up her father's mobile phone and called the police...
Then I called home and said something had come up and I'd be home later.
Upon arriving at the police station, He Wenlin recounted the events and her own speculations to the officers.
"Kids these days are really lawless, they're even capable of extortion!" Mr. He was furious. "They can't even concentrate on their studies."
"Did they hit you?" the police officer asked He Wenlin.
“No, I was afraid they would attack me, so I was nice to them and even offered them cigarettes,” He Wenlin explained. “I used to be in business, and I still control the family business, so I have a cell phone and cigarettes on me.”
Police officer: "What time is morning self-study?"
He Wenlin: "Morning self-study starts at 6:30 in the morning."
"Young comrade, don't be afraid. Tomorrow morning we'll go in plain clothes to buy breakfast. When you see them arrive, pretend to make a deal, and we'll arrest them."
"I understand, thank you, officers. I'm sorry for the trouble."
"This is what we should do. You are very brave. When something happens, it's right to tell an adult or us. Go back and get a good night's sleep. We'll catch them tomorrow."
It was already midnight when I got home from the police station.
After a quick wash, the father and daughter went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
"Why are you back so late?" Mrs. He asked Mr. He.
Mr. He was furious: "Your daughter was extorted by some thugs at school. They robbed her of her money and phone."
"What?" Aunt He was instantly wide awake and sat up in shock.
"Was Linlin beaten?" Aunt He asked.
"No, that's not true," said Father He. "They also want Linlin to bring them several thousand yuan in New Year's money, or else they'll make Linlin suffer. I won't let those bastards get away with this!"
"I'm calling everyone else in the family tomorrow! There's no law anymore! Do you think the He and Xu families are all dead?!"
"Don't go tomorrow. The police will bring men to arrest them tomorrow morning. If too many of us go, we'll alert them."
"Then I'll go!" Aunt He was determined to tear those people's faces to shreds!
"We went together, and Linlin even said it might have been instigated by people at school..."
"They're all just kids, how can they be so mean? Maybe we should change Linlin's schools."
"Which school should we switch to? We don't know anyone there, where can we go? I'm willing to spend money, willing to pay the transfer fee, but the problem is, who can we ask?"
He Ma hesitated for a moment: "I'll ask the boss's wife (Wang Min) tomorrow."
...
At this moment, He Wenlin returned to her room, and Old Mrs. He also woke up.
The old lady also asked her why she came back so late.
He Wenlin didn't want to hide it from her grandmother, because she would find out sooner or later.
After He Wenlin told her about what happened tonight, the old lady was also startled awake and couldn't sleep at all. She said that she must tear those blond-haired guys' mouths apart tomorrow!
You should definitely ask their parents how they raise their children.
Instead of being a good person, Wan Shao did something that deserves to be struck by lightning!
The old lady was both angry and worried, and didn't sleep all night.
The next day, I got up with He Wenlin at around 5 a.m.
Mr. He, Mrs. He, and Grandma He all wanted to go and find a way to settle the score.
