Chapter 202 Stay still (1/2)
—————
The crowd gathering the street seemed to have gotten worse. People were shoving and shouting.
”Why are you hooligans always coming here?”
”Leave her alone!”
The food stall owned by the old lady was flipped over with all the food scattered on the ground.
Lu Tian felt another sudden push. He frown in thought about his pregnant wife. Pulling Yue Ling from behind him, he wrap his arm around her. That way, when the people bump, they'd bumped into him and not her.
”Stay still.”
Yue Ling did not answer as her eyes remained locked on the old lady. She was crouching on the ground and crying. Standing in front of her were three hooligans. One had his fish in the air, while his other hand grabbed hold of the old lady's shirt.
”Please let my grandmother go! She has Alzheimer and forgets. I swear we will pay you guys. Please don't hurt her anymore.”
Hearing the voice of a young girl, Yue Ling glance to her. It was a girl who looked to be the same age as Jingxu. She wore her uniform, but judging by the looks of it, they didn't go to the same school.
”Tian.....”
Yue Ling frown at the girls words. She looked up at Lu Tian and to her surprised, the man's expression was deathly grave. He looked like Asura resurrected from hell. She quickly shut her mouth and turn back to look at the situation.
People amongst the crowd were disgusted by the hooligans' actions. Soon, whispers surround them.
”These people are always here tearing this place up.”
”Just yesterday they came here to collect their money already. Why are they here again?!”
”They always come to this food stall because the grandma has Alzheimer. She forgets everyday and it's easier to pick on the family.”
”Still, why hasn't law enforcement taken care of this?”
”Shh. These hooligans belong to an underground gang. I heard they are vicious and steals anything valuable.”
”SHUT UP!!! YOU WANT TO PAY UP THEN?!!”
One of the men roared out to the crowd. His eyes glaring at all the people gathered to watch the show.
”We told you guys to pay up by today. Why are you not paying up?!”
The man holding the old lady roared as he lift the old lady up. His expression was one of malicious intentions. Sneering, he looks at the high school girl.
”Since your family cannot pay up, why don't you service us for the night.”
Hearing this the girl's expression turned grave and pale. She clench her fist as tears fall from her eyes. Looking at the crowd, her eyes pleaded for help, yet.....
No one...
Even when the people spoke their thoughts, no one took any action. Who could blame them though, these men were gang members....
Some people amongst the crowd didn't want to watch or be apart of this, so they quickly disperse as if nothing happened.
Seeing this, Yue Ling sighed in pity. Not at the family being bullied, but at the people who are turning a blind eye. She straightened her posture and just when she parted her lips to speak, someone spoke out first.
”Let them go.”
The deepness of the man's tone was cold and indifferent, but if one listened carefully one would have sense the dangerous aura behind it.
All three men were caught in surprised. Their head darting from all angles to find who spoke out. Not seeing the person, one of the man roared out as he point the metal pipe in his hand out.
