Jiang Yang howled and wiped his tears and said, “You can’t beat him, my dad will be here to pick me up soon.”
Tao Zhengyang, a kid who didn’t know fear at all, tugged Jiang Yang’s hand and walked downstairs, saying as he went, “Don’t cry, I’ll take revenge for you!”
The two bearish kids ran off in a huff and He Bi shook his head, “Hey, Jiang Yang’s body has scars, I asked her who did it and she wouldn’t say, it seems that Tao Zhengyang was bullying him.”
Fox cut in disdain, “Little brats bullying girls at this age, be careful not to get cut up.”
But why did I feel otherwise, this Tao Zhengyang kid didn’t look like a bully.
I asked He Bi if he didn’t need to go after him. He shook his head and said, “The parents are waiting at the school gate to pick up their kids, they will stop when they get there. I’ll teach them when they come to school tomorrow.”
Although it was dark, the entrance to the school was still brightly lit, and parents were waiting for their children with their necks stretched out. But no one noticed a sombre-faced man with a hooded hat and his hands in his pockets, bouncing through the crowd.
The four of us were walking nicely when this man blocked our way.
I hadn’t thought too much about it because there were so many people at the door that I thought it just happened to be in the way.
But when we went left, he went left, and when we went right, he went right, so I felt something was wrong and asked, “Looking for trouble?”
The man gave me a fierce glare and yelled down, “None of your business, get out of my way.”
He raised his head, revealing a pair of brooding, beastly eyes that startled me. But just then, suddenly the voice of the doorman’s uncle came from behind us, “Two comrades of the PLA, can you sign for my grandson?”
Cai Xiaobing and Fox looked at each other, but they couldn’t resist the uncle’s enthusiasm, so they had to agree.
The strange thing was that as soon as this man heard that Cai Xiaobing and Fox were soldiers, he took a few steps back then with his head bowed, and I was about to look for him when he retreated into the crowd and walked quickly towards the two children, who happened to be Tao Zhengyang and Jiang Yang.
Tao Zhengyang was still carrying that stool leg of his, while Jiang Yang was hiding behind him in fear.
Jiang Yang saw the man first and shrieked in fear, a scream that confused everyone, who looked over in unison.
The strange man jerked off his bucket hat and it was only then that Tao Zhengyang noticed the man behind him and turned around violently, gripping the stool leg with both hands and yelling.
In full view of everyone, the man actually drew a knife as long as his palm and aimed it directly at Tao Zhengyang.
“Stop it!” I shouted.
But Tao Zhengyang was not afraid at all, holding the leg of the stool with both hands and shouting at the man, “Bad guy, come on!”
The scene was full of parents and children, all terrified and fleeing like mad, none of them thinking to save Tao Zhengyang or Jiang Yang.
Cai Xiaobing and Fox had gone far away and it was too late to come back to save them at this time.
Tao Zhengyang waved his stick at the man without fear, but he was a third-grade kid who was no match for an adult. The man easily grabbed the stick, jerked it straight away and snatched it out of Tao Zhengyang’s hand and threw it to the side.
Tao Zhengyang was so dumbfounded that he turned around and tried to leave, but was kicked in the back of the vest by the man, who sent him flying three or four metres away, falling to the ground, unable to get up, and the man was so desperate that he grabbed Tao Zhengyang and stabbed him in the heart.
All this happened in just ten seconds. I tried to go through the sea of people to save Tao Zhengyang, but everyone was running out, making it particularly difficult for me to run in.
When I saw that it was too late, I was so desperate that my heart spewed fire and I grabbed a man’s shoulders with both hands, jumped up and stepped on his shoulders, stomped forward over the crowd’s shoulders, and flew up and kicked the man right in the head, sending him flying.
The clothes on Tao Zhengyang’s chest were cut open with a stinging sound, and a line of blood turned up on his chest, but it was only a flesh wound.
He was so scared that his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground, unable to stand up.
“It’s fine, driver, go and hit the bad guy.”
I rolled my eyes in exasperation, but by this time Cai Xiaobing and Fox were already stomping the man in knots with one foot each.
Seeing that the man was subdued, the parents dared to gather around.
The doorman came over with a blast fork and forked the man to the ground, not forgetting to compliment me: “Well done, young man, although you’re a driver, you’re no less courageous than your comrades in the PLA!”
I laughed and cried, “Thank you, sir.”
The man struggled desperately, his eyes red and his mouth cursing and yelling some strange words.
I patted his face, “What’s your name?”
“Let go of me, I’m Jiang Yang’s father!” He shouted.
My jaw almost dropped as He Bi stepped forward at this time with the little girl called Jiang Yang, who was so scared she was dropping tears, and He Bi nodded, “Yes, he is indeed Jiang Yang’s father.”
The scene was full of amazement, and the fox stepped on his balls so hard that the man’s face turned green with pain.
“You even want to kill your own daughter, you’re crazy, aren’t you?” Fox said.
“I’m not! It’s this little brat I’m going to kill, he bullies my daughter every day. I’m going to stab him to death, let go of me!” The man struggled desperately again, his vicious gaze looking towards Tao Zhengyang.
“Isn’t this third year Tao Zhengyang? A little slicker.”
“I’ve heard my daughter say that this little brat is annoying and bullies his tablemates all day long.”
“That’s right, no wonder the father is so anxious to get his hands dirty.”
“Hey, this kind of little beast, stab and pull to death, remove the evil for the people, if your own father and mother don’t teach you, someone will.”
Tao Zhengyang was just a primary school student, how could he stand so many people accusing him together, he suddenly blushed and shouted, “Don’t listen to him, he’s lying! I didn’t!”
“My son is in your cla*s, he said you like to bully Jiang Yang the most.”
“Hey, don’t let him off the hook because he’s still a kid, anyway, if he doesn’t get stabbed to death now, he’ll be a death penalty prep when he grows up.”
Everyone chattered, accusing Tao Zhengyang.
“Everyone, be quiet, things are not as you think.” He Bi hugged Tao Zhengyang, who was on the verge of tears, and said to everyone, “Don’t listen to one side of the story, guys.”
I sneered, “Is it funny to slander a ten-year-old child? You came for He Bi in the first place, you don’t want to be the cla*s teacher bullying your daughter too.”
His eyes rolled up and he said, “He Bi, the brute, sexually abused my daughter!”
The crowd erupted, and I turned my head to look at He Bi, whose old face was red.
“He Bi has been asking my daughter to go to the office to chat for most of the day for three days, what do you think it’s for? I’ll stab you all to death! You all deserve to die, I am taking revenge for my daughter!!!”
He Bi was furious: “Jiang Kai, you’ve gone too far, you obviously beat your daughter every day. Your daughter was crying so pitifully that I just asked her what was going on. How many times have I called you to tell you not to beat your daughter, or I would have called the police, but you are so good, you even slander me in return.”
These two people pointed at each other and cursed, and the scene was unbearable.
Fox sneered twice and whispered, “Captain, I didn’t think we Snow Leopards would still have the day to be a street maiden and mediate disputes.”
I also laughed coldly twice, “Stop arguing, we’ll know what the situation is once we ask. It’s just as well that we in the Special Forces are the best at interrogating prisoners by pulling out the threads. Now all shut up.”
