Chapter 167 Revenge
Before Xu Nuo could react, Zhang Man had already rushed in front of her, her face pale and her eyes panicked, as if she was being chased by something terrible.
She tightly grasped Xu Nuo's wrist, her fingers were cold, and her voice was urgent and panicked: "Save me! The loan sharks are here to take revenge on me! They know you called the police, and the police arrested their two brothers. Now they are here to settle the score with me!"
As soon as Zhang Man finished speaking, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and cursing coming from a distance.
Xu Nuo looked up and saw several men holding sticks rushing towards them. Their faces were full of ferocious expressions, and they kept shouting, "Stop! Don't run!"
Zhang Man was so scared that she was shaking all over. She held onto Xu Nuo's wrist tightly, her nails almost digging into her skin. "What should I do? They won't let me go!"
Xu Nuo frowned, his wrist was hurt by Zhang Man's grip.
She shook it hard, but found that Zhang Man seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and could not be shaken off.
"No one can escape if you hold me like this! Let me go!"
Originally this matter had nothing to do with her, but after she made such a fuss, she ended up dragging herself into it.
Wouldn't I be the one to take the blame for Zhang Man?
"I won't! I'm afraid you won't care about me." Zhang Man refused to let go no matter what.
In a hurry, she could only drag Zhang Man and quickly walk to the university: "Follow me!"
The two of them rushed into the school gate and jogged straight to the nearest teaching building.
Xu Nuo looked back from time to time to confirm whether those people had caught up with him.
The men armed with sticks were stopped by the school security staff.
They stood in front of them with serious expressions and shouted: "What do you want to do? This is a school and no trouble is allowed!!"
Those people were obviously unwilling to give in, but faced with the security guards' obstruction, they did not dare to force their way in.
The leading man was of burly build and had a hideous scar on his face.
He waved the stick in his hand, stared at Zhang Man, and said in a hoarse and fierce voice: "Zhang Man, just wait for me! If you have the guts, don't leave this school today!"
"Disperse, disperse! Stay away from here, go away!" The security staff drove away the loan sharks.
Several people spat fiercely on the ground, turned around and left.
Xu Nuo looked from afar, and only breathed a sigh of relief after she confirmed that the shadows of those people had disappeared.
"Can you tell me now what happened? How did the loan sharks know that it was us who called the police?" Xu Nuo asked.
Facing Xu Nuo's questioning, Zhang Man hesitated: "I... I dare not hide it from you. This is what happened..."
It turned out that the police acted quickly. They targeted those loan sharks yesterday and started arresting them in the areas where they often moved around at night.
Five people were arrested and three escaped. Among the five arrested, two were brothers of the leader. "
"Originally, the remaining three people were planning to stay out of the spotlight, but they didn't expect... they didn't expect to meet me when I was returning to my mother's house while hanging around near my home."
Xu Nuo frowned and spoke in a bad tone: "Aren't you going to work? You went back to your parents' home yesterday, why are you going back again today? Don't you still owe money? How can you pay it back if you don't work?"
"I'm going back to my parents' house to get something." Zhang Man explained.
Xu Nuo didn't want to listen to this useless explanation, so he asked: "Then tell me directly, how did they know that we called the police?"
"I heard the neighbors talking about it... They said a few people were arrested last night. They seemed to be loan sharks..."
The neighbors applauded and praised the police comrades for a good job, saying that this social cancer should be eradicated.
"Then I boasted to the neighbors, saying that it was my eldest uncle who did it. I... I didn't expect that this would reach their ears... They knew that my eldest uncle was a soldier and a regiment commander, so they didn't dare to provoke him, so... so they blocked me and said they wanted to take revenge on me..."
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and ran away without hesitation.
Fortunately, it was daytime and the alley was busy with people coming and going. Due to the large number of pedestrians, I did not dare to act rashly.
She ran out of the alley, thinking she had finally escaped this terrible entanglement.
After calming down a little, I jumped on a bus and hurried to the vicinity of the university.
She wanted to see how Lei Ming and his team were doing business today.
Since you are planning to eat this bowl of rice, you have to see whether the quantity of this bowl of rice is sufficient.
Who would have thought that as soon as she got out of the car, those lingering ghosts followed her again.
Xu Nuo knew what happened next.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of a key question, he asked Zhang Man: "Those loan sharks have no bottom line. Since they knew where your home was, why didn't they go to your home to collect the money? Why didn't they go to Lu Feng? Why did they keep targeting you?"
"I think those people often hang out in the alleys and know everything about my family. They know that my parents and my eldest brother rely on me for support and that my family has no money to pay off the debt."
Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
Those people have no idea that her parents now have much more money than she does.
Although she received more than one hundred yuan from her parents, based on her understanding of her family, it was absolutely impossible for them to give her all their family assets.
After a pause, she continued, "As for Lu Feng, there are many men in his factory, and they often go home together after get off work, so it is difficult for those people to find him when he is alone.
As for me, I would go back to my parents' home every now and then, so they could easily track my movements. That's why they kept on biting me."
After listening to this, Xu Nuo felt speechless.
The Zhang family sucked Zhang Man's blood like vampires, and although Zhang Man knew it clearly, she was powerless to push them away.
I don’t know whether to say Zhang Man is stupid or the Zhang family is smart.
"I don't have time to chat with you." Xu Nuo raised his wrist to check the time and said, "I have to go to class. Wait a little longer until those people leave and then go back quickly."
Zhang Man didn't dare to go back alone, so she hurriedly said to Xu Nuo, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you to go back together."
Xu Nuo glanced at her, pursed his lips, and went back to class without saying anything else.
The weather became increasingly gloomy, and soon it began to snow.
Zhang Man was freezing cold, so she wandered around the school for a while, and then went into an empty classroom.
She waited until Xu Nuo finished her last class. When the bell rang, she came out of the classroom and waited for her on the path that Xu Nuo must take.
The quiet campus became bustling. Zhang Man saw Xu Nuo coming out with a bag and hurriedly went to meet him: "Sister-in-law, you are finally done with get out of class. Let's go home together."
