Chapter 205 Security Squad
Speak of the devil and he appears.
No sooner had the man finished speaking than a group of people dressed in black walked over.
Once the onlookers saw what they were wearing, they scattered like birds and beasts.
Seeing this, the man forced a smug smile onto his face, which was contorted with pain: "The security team is here, you're finished! Now let me go and apologize to me!"
As he spoke, members of the security team approached.
There were three of them, all wearing matching black uniforms, with a small "安" (An) character tattooed on their right chests.
The leader had a familiar token hanging from his waist; it was an elite token from the Robbery Alliance.
Although Meng Qingyin didn't know this person, she recognized the elite token.
This person is also an elite member of the Robbery Alliance.
Meng Qingyin's eyes flashed.
It seems the Robbery Alliance has quite a background, as some of its members are even members of the security squad?
Is this a case of someone who has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds?
Zheng San naturally didn't recognize Meng Qingyin either. He frowned at the two of them and said in a serious tone, "What are you doing? Don't you know that you're not allowed to cause trouble at the market?"
The man turned to look at Zheng San, his tone completely innocent: "Sir, it's not that I wanted to cause trouble, it's this woman, she's being unreasonable and deliberately picking a fight!"
Zheng San looked at Meng Qingyin, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "Let him go first, and we can talk things out."
Meng Qingyin naturally wouldn't go against the security team, and with them around, she wasn't afraid the man would run away.
Meng Qingyin released her hand as instructed.
The man thumped his hand, wincing in pain, but still managed to complain: "Sir, you must punish this woman severely! She dares to cause trouble in the market; she doesn't respect the security team at all. You absolutely cannot let her get away with this!"
Zheng Sanhu's eyes widened: "Shut up, don't try to poison my mind! I'll investigate this thoroughly."
What if he can't figure out what he's thinking?
The man then sheepishly shut his mouth.
Zheng San looked at Meng Qingyin and asked, "Explain what happened."
Meng Qingyin succinctly stated: "He dirtied my shoes."
The man retorted confidently, "I apologized!" He then looked at Zheng San and complained, "I apologized to this woman, and she still made me lick it clean! Sir, what else could she be but deliberately causing trouble?"
Meng Qingyin said coolly, "I do not accept your apology. My demand is that my shoes be restored to their original condition."
The man spat, "You're asking for it."
Zheng San then pointed to the beggar who had fainted on the ground, "What happened to him?"
The man said dismissively, "He was blind and bumped into me. I hadn't even done anything yet, and he just lay on the ground pretending to be dead. He's definitely trying to extort money from me."
Meng Qingyin's breathing became heavier.
She couldn't stand people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. This man's actions just now reminded her of the headmaster and the children.
They are the same, bullying the weak.
She had resisted before, but she was too weak, and her resistance was seen as a joke by those people.
Now, she has the power to fight back.
She didn't want to stand idly by; she saw it as a way to redeem her past self.
Meng Qingyin exposed the man's lie, "You didn't do anything? Then who was the person who punched and kicked him just now?"
The man choked, then tried to change the subject, feeling a little guilty. "This beggar has nothing to do with our conflict, sir. You must do me justice! This woman is making a big fuss over nothing, causing trouble on such an important day. She must not be let off lightly!"
Before Meng Qingyin could retort, a voice suddenly rang out from behind her, "You're talking nonsense!"
Zheng Shi quickly stepped forward and stood beside Meng Qingyin. "Third Brother, I know the heroine's character. She's not one to make a mountain out of a molehill. This bastard must have done something first!"
Meng Qingyin glanced at Zheng Shi and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Didn't I just make that very clear to him?
Why is this person so stubborn?
Zheng Shi glanced cautiously at Meng Qingyin's face. His previous imposing manner suddenly weakened, and he stammered an explanation, "Um, heroine, please don't misunderstand. I, I didn't mean to bother you... I just, I just saw injustice and wanted to help!"
Meng Qingyin had nothing to say.
To help those in need when you see injustice on the road?
She might have believed it if someone else had said it, but coming from Zheng Shi, she simply couldn't believe it.
Who is Zheng Shi?
Would someone who used to rob people on the road suddenly turn around and help those in need?
However, she was not in the mood to talk to Zheng Shiduo right now.
Meng Qingyin bluntly stated, "Either lick my shoes clean, or pay me 10 gold coins. I don't want these shoes anymore."
The man immediately jumped up and down: "Ten gold coins? Are your shoes made of gold?"
Meng Qingyin: "I don't care if you don't pay me back, just lick it clean."
The man, furious, looked at Zheng San expectantly: "Sir, you saw it too, didn't you? This woman was deliberately picking a fight!"
Zheng Shi's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "Watch your mouth!"
Zheng San had a headache and pulled Zheng Shi aside. "Why are you here instead of working at the parking lot?"
Zheng Shi: "That's not important. Third Brother, you must help the heroine get justice!"
Zheng San closed his eyes briefly. "Don't interrupt. I will handle this matter properly."
Zheng Shi immediately fell silent.
Zheng San then returned to the group: "I understand the conflict between the two of you," he said, pointing his chin at the man, "So, are you going to pay up or lick it clean?"
The man was dumbfounded: "No, why should I pay for it? It's just a pair of worn-out shoes, I can just clean them for her!"
Zheng San said impatiently, "I'll ask you one more time, are you going to pay up or lick it clean?"
The man doesn't want to lose money, but he also doesn't want to clean up the mess.
Zheng San immediately made the decision for him, saying, "I see you don't want to lick it, so you'll have to pay up."
The man was furious. "How can you govern like this? Isn't this blatant bullying?"
Zheng San nodded to the two men behind him, and they immediately stepped forward to restrain the man.
Zheng San: "Since you don't know what's good for you, then I have no choice but to arrest you."
Men know the methods of the security squad; once caught, they won't be released without being severely punished.
He smiled broadly, "Sir, please don't hold it against me, I'll pay for it."
Zheng San gave his two men a look, and they released the man.
The man reluctantly took out ten gold coins and threw them to Meng Qingyin: "Here you go!"
He threw it away and then tried to leave.
"Wait a minute," Meng Qingyin's voice rang out.
The man looked extremely impatient. "What else is it?"
Meng Qingyin glanced at the person on the ground, "You just kicked and hit him, how do you plan to settle this?"
The man sneered, "Are you alright? If he hadn't bumped into me, would I have hit him?"
Meng Qingyin looked at Zheng San, "Which is more egregious: an unintentional mistake or intentional injury?"
Zheng San: "It was an accident that he bumped into you, but it was wrong of you to hit him."
The man immediately changed his story, "He bumped into me on purpose!"
