Bang! A dull sound suddenly broke the silence of the night, startling several wild cats living in the corners. They “whoosh” into the darkness and disappeared.
“Ah! Boss! I was beaten, he hit me!”
The sharp sound cut through the night sky like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the surrounding silence.
The yellow-haired guy who had initially clamored for Xu Yiren to beat him was now holding his stomach, rolling on the ground in pain, with his face distorted like a devil.
Then, Xu Yiren exerted force suddenly, and with a whistling sound, he threw an uppercut, hitting the gangster leader’s chin hard.
This punch was filled with the anger and unwillingness that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.
On the other hand, how can students who often bury themselves in books and are busy helping their mothers clean the house and cook after school easily defeat the hooligans who crawl on the streets and fight as a daily routine?
Bang!
There was a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in this dim alley.
Xu Yiren’s hand was grabbed by the gangster leader. The rough and powerful hand was like a pair of pliers, tightly clamping his wrist and making him unable to move.
“Good boy, you are so brave, you dare to hit my brother!”
The gangster leader had a sinister smile on his face, with a vicious light flashing in his eyes.
“Now I am acting bravely and sending you to the Security Bureau. I will sue you for assault and causing serious injury. You should go to jail just like your father!”
Hearing this, Xu Yiren’s head exploded as if struck by a bolt of lightning, and he froze in place.
He finally understood the meaning of Cai Kun’s words during the day. It turned out that everything was waiting for him here.
The one who strikes first is responsible, and the power behind Cai Kun is like a mountain. Even if it is just a minor concussion, the other party can use their connections to turn it into a cerebral hemorrhage.
I was the one who took action. If the other party refuses to reconcile, I’m afraid I’ll really be put in jail for the rest of my life!
“No, no way, I can’t go to jail! I can’t!”
Xu Yiren’s voice trembled, filled with endless fear and despair.
This was the first time he felt so anxious and panicked. The anger that had just been burning in his heart had now disappeared without a trace, leaving only fear in his heart.
He couldn’t bear to imagine how sad his mother would be if he was also sent to prison, and how many lonely days and nights she would spend in that empty house.
Looking at Xu Yiren who was struggling desperately, the gang leader showed a ferocious smile on his face. That smile was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which made people shudder.
He was thinking that he could get a bribe of 10,000 yuan by just having his men beaten up. It was really easy to get things done by such rich and powerful people, which was really enviable.
“Let me go!” Xu Yiren roared. Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered, let alone him. He lowered his head and bit the gang leader’s hand fiercely.
“ah!”
The gang leader felt pain and subconsciously let go of his hand.

Seeing this, Xu Yiren turned around and ran towards the alley beside him like a trapped beast breaking free from a cage.

There was a dim street lamp every dozens of meters in the alley. The weak light flickered in the darkness, but at this moment it served as an excellent guide for his escape.

“Catch up with him quickly. If he runs away, I will use your ten dollars to feed him!”

The gang leader covered his injured hand and roared in frustration.

“Yes! Boss!”

A group of thugs chased in the direction Xu Yiren fled, like sharks smelling blood.

“Hey! Stop right there, brat! What’s the point of running? We can still find you if we call the police!”

Curses continued to be heard from behind, but Xu Yiren, who was running in front, turned a deaf ear to them. He lowered his head and ran desperately towards the depths of the dark alley.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to run, run non-stop, and escape from this terrible place.

His speed was so astonishing that for a moment, those thugs who had plenty of experience in escaping couldn’t catch up with him.

But unfortunately, Xu Yiren’s daily life is just a straight line between school, home and the vegetable market. How can he be more familiar with these alleys than these hooligans who shuttle through the streets all day long?

After just a few turns, he was forced into a dead end corner by the thugs who kept appearing in front of him like ghosts.

“Boy, keep running. Why don’t you run anymore? If we didn’t want to be the messenger of justice, we would have taught you a severe lesson.” A gangster sneered, with the sarcasm on his face not concealed at all.

“Damn it, you are really good at running. When you come out, I will take good care of you.”

The other thug was rubbing his hands together, his eyes full of ferocity.

“Hey, kid, have you forgotten that our boss’s boss is in jail right now? When this kid gets in, he will definitely be taken good care of.”

Another gangster said in a sarcastic tone.

As he spoke, five or six thugs surrounded him like hungry wolves.

Xu Yiren looked at the airtight encirclement, then at the three-person-high wall behind him, and a deep despair surged in his heart.

At this moment, he felt like a prey caught in a trap, with nowhere to escape.

“I hate you! Xu Jianguo! If it weren’t for you! How could I be like this? Why did you commit a crime? Why do you want to go to jail? Why? Why? Why!?”

Xu Yiren roared in his heart, filled with despair, anxiety, anger and hatred.

Various emotions were swirling in his heart, adrenaline was secreted in large quantities, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes. Since his life was already ruined, he might as well ruin it thoroughly!

Then, just when Xu Yiren aimed at a gangster’s neck and was ready to use his teeth to give him a “love hole”.

Buzz! A mysterious light blue light suddenly appeared behind the gangsters without any warning.The light was like a star suddenly exploding in the night sky, as if it came from another mysterious world.

This sudden scene made the gangster turn around subconsciously, his face full of fear and confusion.

Xu Yi, who was originally red-eyed and wanted to take action, was also somewhat impulsive because of the blue light. His eyes were attracted by the light and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

“I’m here, huh? Where is this place? Why isn’t it next to my son? Did the transmission go wrong?”

A deep and magnetic voice came out from the blue light.

The blue light disappeared in just a moment. When the light dissipated, the gangster’s eyes gradually adapted to the darkness of the night, and he finally saw clearly the figure that appeared where the light suddenly appeared.

“Hey, who are you? Do you feel good shining the light on us? Are you looking for trouble?”

One of the thugs took it for granted that the other party had shone the flashlight on them, so he plucked up his courage, walked forward, and shouted “妤” in a arrogant tone, trying to cover up his inner anxiety with his fierce momentum.

“Hmm? You were talking to me just now? Wait, Yi? Why are you here?”

The figure moved slightly, and there was surprise in his voice.

Swish! Xu Yi’s eyes, which were originally fixed on the gangster, instantly turned to look at the black shadow.

Since there were no street lights and it was dark all around, he could only see a vague outline, but the other party’s voice made him feel extremely familiar, as if it was a memory engraved deep in his soul.

“Do you know me?”

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Yi’s eyes. If he was an adult, then he would most likely be able to escape that night!

“Well, wait a moment, what is your situation now, can you explain it to me?”

The mysterious man ignored the clamor of the gangsters and asked calmly.

The gangster who had been questioning loudly at the beginning felt embarrassed when he saw that this guy ignored his threats, so he mindlessly brought up his backer.

“What’s going on? Are you blind or have you no eyes? This guy offended the district chief’s son, and we are teaching him a lesson now! Do you understand? Get out of here if you know what’s best for you! Otherwise, we’ll beat you up too!”

As the gangster spoke, he waved the stick in his hand, trying to intimidate the mysterious man.

However, the gangster’s clamor seemed to have no effect on the man in front of him.

You know, even some adults would be timid and stop interfering when faced with such aggressive thugs.

But the other party was not in a hurry. He took out a seemingly ordinary but mysterious thing, like a thermometer gun, from his arms and pointed it at the leading gangster.

drop!

“Zero percent?” The man’s voice rose slightly, his expression a little strange, as if he was very disappointed with the result.

Then, he pointed at the remaining four thugs in turn, and the results showed 1%, 0.8%, 1.0%, and 0.03% respectively.

The man sighed softly, put away the object that looked like a temperature gun with some disappointment, and said, “None of them has the potential to become a full moon. They are just human beings.”

At the same time, he slowly raised his hand, stretched out a finger, and tapped to the side.

The movement seemed casual, but it seemed to contain endless power.

“Are you bragging? And it’s just a human? Have you ever seen …”

The gangster hadn’t finished his words when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Then, he felt his sight suddenly move upwards and saw his familiar outfit and the bright moon hanging high in the night sky.

Boom boom boom!

A number of round heads fell one after another, rolling on the ground for a few times, making a dull sound.

Then, a corpse collapsed to the ground helplessly, and blood slowly spread on the ground, looking particularly terrifying in the darkness.

The man stepped over the corpse and walked slowly to Xu Yi’s side step by step.

“Yi’er, let’s go home, shall we?” His voice was gentle yet firm, as if it had a reassuring power.

The moon seemed to use all its strength to illuminate the alley at this moment. The silver light sprinkled on the ground, reflecting the figures of the two people.

At this moment, Xu Yi finally saw the face of this mysterious man clearly.

His lips trembled slightly, and he didn’t even react to the gangster’s bizarre U-turn.

His father, who had disappeared for three days, appeared in front of him without any warning?

“Dad…..you, when did you come out?”

Xu Yi thought for a long time, what would he say when he saw his father again, resentment? Or joy?

But I didn’t expect that it would be so ordinary, as if it was just an ordinary meeting, without any waves, but hiding countless complex emotions.
