Just then, a figure shot out from the crowd like an arrow, arriving directly beside Dai Xingyun and standing shoulder to shoulder with him. This person was Xiahou Jie.
Xiahou Jie glared angrily and shouted at the group of people in red armbands, "You lawless people, how dare you openly bully ordinary people in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid we'll turn the police around?"
His voice was like a resounding bell, deafening and full of a sense of justice.
Faced with Xiahou Jie's questioning, the leader in red armbands sneered disdainfully: "Hmph! Calling the police? We're on a mission too. Are you making a false report?"
"Brothers, get them! Take down these two meddlesome guys!" With his order, a large number of red armband-wearing men swarmed forward, and a fierce conflict was about to erupt.
Just then, Shen Xiaoxiao spoke up: "Xingyun, Xiahou Jie, please don't act rashly."
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie and said in a low voice, "A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Let's plan this carefully first."
Dai Xingyun gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling, he knew that fighting head-on was not the way to go.
He released his grip, coldly staring at the group of red armband-wearing individuals: "I will remember what you did today. Sooner or later, you will pay the price for what you did!"
The leader, wearing a red armband, scoffed dismissively, "I'm waiting," then turned to the people inside who were vandalizing the place, "Have you found anything?"
"Boss, we didn't find anything, but this family is a bit hedonistic. Look at all this rice, flour, and sausages." A man with a pointed face and monkey-like features carried out the rice and flour and said.
"Great! This is the epitome of capitalist hedonism!"
The man in the lead glared angrily at Shen Zishan and roared viciously.
"Brothers! Take their whole family to the Revolutionary Committee! There's another group waiting to be criticized today, might as well take care of them all at once!"
After saying that, the man turned around and prepared to leave, seemingly eager to see the Shen family suffer a terrible punishment.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, blocking the man's path.
It turned out that Dai Xingyun had stepped forward. He stared firmly at the group of guys who were trying to move the things and shouted righteously.
"Who dares to touch this? The rice, flour, cooking oil, and cured meat here were all specially delivered by Commander Xiao to thank Comrade Shen Xiaoxiao for her contributions to the troops!"
Upon hearing this, the man showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he scoffed with disdain, "Hmph! What Commander Xiao? Even if the Heavenly King himself descended, their behavior would still be nothing but hedonism!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately five or six strong men rushed forward like hungry tigers, trying to subdue Shen Zishan and his wife.
Seeing the situation growing increasingly critical, Shen Xiaoxiao, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't bear it any longer. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling aura of danger, and she coldly warned, "You'd better not go too far! Otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"
"Hahahaha! You're just a little brat who hasn't even grown up yet, how dare you spout such nonsense? What can you do to us?" The man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face grinned lewdly, his triangular eyes darting around.
Shen Xiaoxiao stared directly at the other party without fear, a slight smile of contempt on her lips: "I may not be able to do anything to you, but there will always be someone in this world who can deal with you lawless bastards."
As she spoke, she turned to Dai Xingyun beside her and said in a calm yet firm tone, "If I am really taken away by them today, please pass on a message to Minister Liu of the Armed Forces Department and Director Wei of the Revolutionary Committee, saying that Shen Xiaoxiao has been bullied."
Upon hearing this, the previously aggressive man's face immediately showed a hint of unease. He stammered, "Hmph... little brat, stop trying to scare people! You? How could you possibly know so many important people? I think you're just bragging!"
However, despite his outward bravado, the man was inwardly anxious, because if the girl was telling the truth, he would be in deep trouble.
Faced with the man's doubts, Shen Xiaoxiao remained unfazed, simply shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "Since that's the case, why don't you give it a try? Anyway, I won't be the one who suffers in the end."
Her nonchalant demeanor made the man feel increasingly uncertain, and for a moment he stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
After a brief standoff, the man ultimately didn't dare to take the risk. He could only glare fiercely at Shen Xiaoxiao and Dai Xingyun before uttering a harsh threat: "Hmph! You're lucky today! But just you wait and see, next time it won't be so easy!"
After saying that, he turned and left dejectedly, afraid that staying even a second longer would bring trouble upon himself.
"Wait! Did I give you permission to leave like this? Look at this mess! You've wrecked my house and you think you can just walk away like this?"
"Hmph, there's no such thing as a free lunch!" Shen Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips, glared angrily, and blocked everyone's way.
Upon seeing this, the leading man narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous aura. He steadied himself, stared intently at Shen Xiaoxiao, and coldly asked, "What do you want?"
Shen Xiaoxiao slowly stretched out her hand and counted on her fingers, saying, "It's not a difficult matter. Since you've damaged so many things in my house, you naturally have to compensate me according to the cost of the damage!"
"I just did a rough count, and the large items you smashed alone cost a total of 224 yuan. As for the small, miscellaneous items, I'm too lazy to bother with them. Consider it a great deal to you!"
After saying that, she deliberately raised her chin, making a "I've already been very merciful" expression.
However, upon hearing this, the man flew into a rage and roared, "Impossible! We don't have that much money to compensate you!"
Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and she suddenly changed to a gentle tone, coaxingly saying, "Don't be in such a hurry!"
"If you really can't come up with the money, there's another way... As long as you can honestly tell me who reported you, I won't ask for the compensation. I'll go and ask the whistleblower for it myself. How about that?"
