Chapter 264 - A Damaged Store (2/2)

…

Before Gu Ning walked out of the street of stone gambling, she noticed that there were many people gathered outside of a store which was being damaged by a group of men.

“What is going on? Who has Boss Zheng offended?”

“It’s not Boss Zheng, but his son Zheng Hao isn’t able to pay usury ¹ . The usurer can’t get the money back, so directly sent people to damage his store.”

“What? Again?”

Apparently, it had happened before.

“Indeed, this is already the third time this year. Boss Zheng could pay the usury the previous two times, but now he can’t afford it.”

“Well, I have a deep sympathy for Boss Zheng. His wife pa.s.sed away at an early age without any children. He loved his wife very much and wasn’t willing to marry again. Then he adopted Zheng Hao out of kindness. However, unexpectedly, Zheng Hao is merely a loser who can’t achieve anything and destroyed all of Boss Zheng’s wealth.”

“Exactly! Zheng Hao is just fooling around and gambles all day. What a shame that Boss Zheng who is such a good person has been ruined by his adopted son!”

“I think that his store will probably close in the near future.”

“Zheng Hao is so shameless and useless. Why does Boss Zheng still keep the connection with him?”

“Who knows!”

…

Everyone was busy discussing with others.

Hearing their discussion, Gu Ning felt sorry for this Boss Zheng too, and also hated Zheng Hao.

“Stop it please! Please stop it! I’ll pay you back in two days!” Zheng Peng tried his best to stop the group of men in vain, and he was pushed backwards with great force.

It happened too fast for Zheng Peng to react. He immediately lost his balance, falling down, and there were shelves of raw materials behind him. If Zheng Peng knocked straight into those raw materials, he would be badly injured.

Without hesitation, Gu Ning pushed the two people standing in her way aside running ahead. Those two people almost fell and screamed, but when they found out what was happening in front of their eyes, they were shocked.

Gu Ning was very fast, but was still a little bit late. Zheng Peng had already hit the shelves with the raw materials placed on them. Many raw materials fell down one after another, and one of them hit Zheng Peng’s shoulder while another was falling towards his head. The crowd rounded their eyes with astonishment, and some turned away to avoid the terrible scene.

However, right at that moment, a hand grabbed Zheng Peng’s arm and immediately pulled him away. Zheng Peng finally escaped the raw materials falling from the shelves.

Everyone was amazed, looking at the young girl who was surprisingly agile and had strength to save Zheng Peng’s life. Otherwise, Zheng Peng would either be dead or severely injured.

Zheng Peng was struck dumb.

The men who were damaging the store stopped for a second when they heard the loud noise. They were so close but none of them had the intention to help Zheng Peng.

After seeing what Gu Ning had done, they were all surprised too. However, they saw that Zheng Peng was fine, so they continued smas.h.i.+ng objects in the store.

Although it had nothing to do with Gu Ning, she was greatly annoyed, and attacked those men without delay.

She caught the man who stood nearest to her by his shoulder, and lifted him off the ground and threw him outside with great force.

People were all shocked by the scene. It was beyond their imagination that such a young girl could be so strong.

None of the other men in the store realized what was going on before the second man was kicked down onto the floor by Gu Ning.
