6 A Good Person (1/2)
”Let her go!”
A cold, hard voice rang through the empty alley.
The ugly and ferocious-looking man turned his head, only to meet with regular features set in a face that exuded a noble spirit. Then he raged fearlessly as if he was on the right course. ”I'm disciplining my daughter; it's none of your business. Don't meddle in other people's affairs. Scram!”
”I'm telling you to let go of her!”
Xiao Luo shouted coldly, the imposing manner of his body suddenly intensified.
Without warning, the brute felt a bone-piercing chill, a chill that made his hair stand on end. He was like a frog under the watchful gaze of a poisonous snake; he was walking a perilous edge. Unable to help himself, he took a step back.
While he was in a daze, Xiao Luo lost his patience.
Xiao Luo's body turned into a streak of black lightning that rushed toward him. In the blink of an eye, he was knocked seven or eight meters.
The man with the hideous and brutish appearance only felt something flicker in front of his eyes. He had no time to fight back. A clenched fist greeted his face and was closely followed by an intense pain that flooded his head. His body was thrown back helplessly, a bloody tooth jutting from his mouth.
The little girl fell but was caught firmly by Xiao Luo.
When she found out that it was the same man who'd given her a lot of money, she stared blankly at first before bursting into tears, feeling aggrieved.
”Is he your dad?” asked Xiao Luo, pointing at the hideous hulk on the ground.
Shaking her head, she said, ”No. He's a bad man. He broke my legs and forced me to beg for money. Please, call the police. Tell them to take me away. I want to go home, I want my daddy and mommy, boohoohoo..... ”
She cried her heart out, her young and soft body heaving with each sob.
Xiao Luo immediately understood. The little girl was abducted by human traffickers. These people brutally broke both her legs, forcibly turning a healthy person into a miserable, disabled beggar. She was nothing more than a cash cow for them, thrown to the streets to beg like a lump of dirt.
At this point, the guy got up from the ground, spat out the blood in his mouth, and pulled out the switchblade from his pocket. He glared at Xiao Luo savagely. ”Boy, hand her over to me now, and we can still talk things over. Otherwise, I'll kill you with this knife!”
”I really want to know how you intend to kill me.”
When Xiao Luo stamped his foot, a loud bang was heard as the ground ruptured, spreading cracks from under his foot to the surrounding area, like spider webs.
Gulp.
The man swallowed his saliva with difficulty, wondering where this monster came from. He cracked the surface of the cement with one stomp of his foot.
”You... You just wait!”
After speaking these harsh words, he fled in defeat and disbelief. He didn't think his body was stronger than the concrete path.
Xiao Luo immediately swept toward him and blasted this guy back with his fist. As the man flew back, two bloody teeth jutted hideously out of his mouth.
”DING! Congratulations. You've earned ten points!” The system notification rang out.
Xiao Luo was too busy to pay attention. He collected his gaze and looked at the little girl, comforting her as she shivered. ”Don't be scared. Everything's all right!”
”Hmm!” The little girl wiped away her tears unceasingly.
Half an hour later, Xiao Luo appeared with the little girl at the Public Security Bureau.
”Stay here. The police will send you home to your parents.” Xiao Luo did what he could do; now it was time to leave.
”Mister, thank you!” The little girl was very sensible. She knew that she had met the right person; otherwise, she would still be suffering in the hands of the traffickers.
Xiao Luo smiled at her, and then walked out of the police station, accompanied by a police officer slightly older than he was.
”Mr. Xiao Luo, please rest assured that we will send her back to her birth parents.”
”Thanks for your trouble!”
”This is our duty and responsibility as the police. It's no trouble at all.”
The policeman ushering him out was full of smiles. He solemnly shook Xiao Luo's hand. ”Nowadays, we need more people like Mr. Xiao Luo in this society. There would be fewer crimes!”
Xiao Luo did not say more. He just nodded and stood up to leave.
