Xiao Yangjing stood up cautiously, his eyes filled with trepidation.
He swallowed hard, then slowly forced a smile and looked at Lin Nuannuan ingratiatingly.
Xiao Yangjing's lip was broken by some bastard, and when he laughed, he inadvertently pulled at the wound, causing him to grimac.
Lin Nuannuan felt that she could hardly contain her anger. How could someone her age fight like that!
"Are you a family member?" Uncle Hat suddenly spoke up, rescuing Xiao Yangjing.
Lin Nuannuan glared at him, then nodded politely.
"Come over and complete the formalities with me, and you can take him home." Uncle Hat was quite appreciative of Xiao Yangjing's act of bravery, so he spoke kindly.
While going through the formalities, Lin Nuannuan finally understood the cause of the matter. She was stunned to hear that Xiao Yangjing had been beaten for saving someone.
You bunch of thugs have obviously been in here before, and you don't seem to care at all. In the end, you'll just get a warning, or at worst, detention, and you'll be out in a few days.
Even when Lin Nuannuan came in, these thugs gave her a lewd look.
The procedures were completed quickly, in less than half an hour. Lin Nuannuan stood in front of Xiao Yangjing without saying a word.
"Um, Nuan Nuan, I didn't mean to." Xiao Yangjing stammered, his hands clasped together helplessly.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Will this trick my brother taught me actually work? I don't want this incident to completely destroy the little goodwill Nuannuan had left for him."
Just as he was thinking, he saw Lin Nuannuan suddenly reach out and press her hand against his injured face without any hesitation.
"Hiss..." Lin Nuannuan didn't hold back, and Xiao Yangjing gasped in pain, but he still endured it without dodging.
Nuannuan touched him.
"Does it hurt?" Lin Nuannuan asked, frowning.
Xiao Yangjing nodded honestly, but soon he was afraid that the other party would think he was too cowardly, so he began to describe his heroic figure at that time.
But gradually, Xiao Yangjing realized something was wrong; Nuannuan stopped talking.
"What's wrong? I know I was wrong, Nuan Nuan, don't be angry." Xiao Yangjing spoke even softer, wanting to reach out and touch her, but given their relationship, he didn't dare.
When Lin Nuannuan looked up again, Xiao Yangjing realized that she was crying.
"How could you be so stupid? They have knives, you know?" Lin Nuannuan raised her voice a little, then reached out and patted Xiao Yangjing.
Uncle Hat said that those thugs were carrying weapons at the time. If Xiao Yangjing had resisted fiercely or if other things had happened, he might not be here to be picked up from the station today.
They've most likely gone to the morgue.
Seeing Lin Nuannuan's tears, Xiao Yangjing panicked. This time, he didn't care whether she would be angry because of his touch, and hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears.
The two were standing at the gate. After Xiao Yangjing had finally comforted Lin Nuannuan, he turned around and saw that the thugs had come out.
He had a rough idea of the reason: the other party had someone backing them.
That's why they're so arrogant.
"Kid, you've got guts, huh?" The leader of the thugs surrounded Xiao Yangjing and asked smugly.
Xiao Yangjing shielded Lin Nuannuan behind him, then coldly replied:
"So-so."
The thug sneered, and this time he didn't look at him again, but instead focused his gaze on the back of his legs.
"This girl is pretty good-looking, what do you think? Want to come have some fun with your brother?" He then pretended to reach out and pull Lin Nuannuan.
Xiao Yangjing felt his head buzz, and he could no longer control his temper. He grabbed the hooligan's hand and used all his strength in the opposite direction.
With a snap, the thug's hand was broken.
A scream immediately drew the attention of Uncle Hat and his team, who had just finished handling a case.
Once they escaped, the two sides clashed again. This time, however, Xiao Yangjing held nothing back and attacked his opponent relentlessly.
The group was arrested and taken back to their place less than an hour after they were released.
When Xiao Yuan received the call, it was already the next day. Zhi Zhi was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands and was sleeping next to him.
Upon hearing about his younger brother's heroic act, Xiao Yuan sighed silently and then decided to go and see for himself.
He didn't think Xiao Yangjing was to blame for this. If someone had teased Zhizhi like that, it probably wouldn't have been just a matter of losing a hand.
Whether his head will still be intact by then is uncertain.
However, before Xiao Yuan could even leave the house, Bai Qingzhi woke up groggily and asked him where he was going, her eyes still blurry with sleep.
Xiao Yuan didn't hide this from anyone, saying directly that Xiao Yangjing and Lin Nuannuan were at the police station at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingzhi instantly woke up from her drowsiness and jumped to the ground.
"I'll go with you." She rushed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, and in less than five minutes the two of them were already in the car.
When the two arrived, they saw Xiao Yangjing teasing Lin Nuannuan through the bars. Although he was locked up, he looked like a victorious general, full of energy.
Bai Qingzhi guessed that after the messy events of last night, the relationship between the two had probably thawed.
Upon seeing his elder brother, Xiao Yangjing howled like a wolf and loudly demanded that Xiao Yuan stand up for him.
At this moment, the thug had already wrapped his hands and was sitting outside naked. He secretly vowed to make Xiao Yangjing suffer.
"Sir, I would like to know the whole story behind this matter." Xiao Yuan sat down next to Uncle Hat and spoke politely.
Uncle Hat was just a low-level worker who didn't know Xiao Yuan at all, but he could tell that the other party was a relative of Xiao Yangjing.
Looking at the still arrogant thug, Uncle Hat sighed helplessly and then implied that Xiao Yangjing might not be able to get away with this.
Bai Qingzhi also learned what exactly happened from Lin Nuannuan. She remembered that the first time she came in was because of this.
"Beautiful lady, can I add you on the phone?" The scoundrel was a pervert. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Bai Qingzhi, and now that he saw her standing there, he came over to chat her up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Xiao Yangjing gave him a look that said, "You're really brave," and then began to gloat.
You dare to flirt with Bai Qingzhi in front of your elder brother? You're as good as dead.
"Brother, you really like flirting?" Xiao Yuan's voice came from behind, but his tone was unreadable.
"Pursuing beautiful women is my right," the scoundrel replied smugly.
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and suddenly changed the subject.
"Then let's talk about compensation."
Although he felt the other party's behavior was wrong, the thug was still happy to ask for money and made exorbitant demands.
They proposed a completely unreasonable compensation price.
Uncle Hat frowned, just about to remind him not to go too far, when he heard Xiao Yuan actually agree.
Immediately afterwards, a man dressed as a driver carried a suitcase into the house.
