Chapter 384: Chapter 387 Turns Out to Be a Wimp

"Yo, who knew the chick had such a personality?"

A man standing nearby looked at the furiously glaring Wang Qingqing with a vile expression on his face, a cold smirk curling his lips, "Let me tell you, in our East River District, whatever Director Li says is the law!"

"Little girl, let me tell you something. You’ve got two options today—either cough up a hundred thousand yuan for our car repairs, or have this little girl keep us company and drink a few cups!"

The effeminate man who first noticed the damage stared intently at Wang Qingqing with predatory eyes, as if wanting nothing more than to strip her of her clothes on the spot.

"A hundred thousand!"

Hearing the man’s words, Li Xiaomei nearly passed out, her vision darkening before she caught her breath and regained her composure, pointing angrily at the group, "You... you might as well be robbing us!"

The crowd of onlookers couldn’t help but express their disbelief, none of them expecting these men to make such an outrageous demand!

"A hundred thousand is quite reasonable, considering we could tell you were poor just by looking at you. Do you think that amount would satisfy us? Do you have any idea how much this car is worth? It’s a genuine import, not something domestic you can compare with. The paint has been damaged by your scraping, and now the entire car needs to be re-painted. We don’t have that advanced painting technology here; the losses are tremendous!"

Another man looked at Li Xiaomei with a sneer on his face, as though she were a country bumpkin who couldn’t possibly understand.

"You... this is extortion! This is absurd!"

Wang Qingqing pointed at the group of men, trembling with rage, "Auntie, we shouldn’t deal with them. Let’s call the police, let traffic police handle it!"

As she said this, Wang Qingqing took out her phone and began to dial.

"Smack!"

However, just as she had her phone out and hadn’t even finished dialing three digits, she felt a pain in her hand. The phone was slapped out of her grasp by the man closest to her and crashed to the ground, breaking in two with a sharp crack.

Wang Qingqing never expected these bastards would be so bold as to prevent her from even calling the police. Pointing at them, her face turned pale with anger...

The man who had just knocked her phone to the ground sneered as he looked at the shaking Wang Qingqing, "I’ve said before, here in East River District, what Director Li says is the law!"

"What an authority Director Li is, his word is law!"

Watching the lecherous and shameless gaze of each man fixated on Wang Qingqing, as if they wanted nothing more than to devour her, Xiao Yi, who was holding some fruit and had meant to hang back to understand the situation better and see how much more shameless they could get, couldn’t stand it any longer. Suddenly, he remembered the conversation he had with Fatty Tang, the questions that had left him speechless and oppressed about fairness. It felt as if a fire had ignited in his chest. He took a step forward, a mocking smile directed at the group of men, "Today, I want to see how Director Li’s words become the law!"

"Kid, who the hell are you?"

"Kid, this is none of your business—scram!"

"Do you know the consequences of meddling in others’ affairs?"

"......"

The men hadn’t expected someone else to suddenly interfere in their business; their expressions changed, but upon seeing that the newcomer was just a lean young man who looked no more than twenty, a cold smirk spread across their faces as they eyed Xiao Yi.

"I am just someone who can’t stand people like you. I’ve decided to get involved in this matter, and I want to see what kind of consequences you can bring on me!"

Gazing at the group of men, some menacing and others mocking coldly, Xiao Yi’s lips curled into a scornful smile. He could tell at a glance that these men had long been hollowed out by their lascivious lifestyles, nothing but useless cowards. Did these cowards really think they could threaten him?

"Kid, do you have a death wish?"

"Kid, you’d better think carefully about the consequences of nosing around!"

"......"

The men didn’t expect Xiao Yi to be so brazen and bold, seemingly unafraid of them at all; their faces changed once more, then they looked at Xiao Yi with a chilly, hostile tone.

Ignoring their blatant threats, Xiao Yi turned his head, scanning the surroundings before his gaze settled back on Wang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei. He smiled at them, then set down his fruit, "Keep an eye on this fruit for me."

"Xiao Yi..."

Wang Qingqing, looking at Xiao Yi’s smiling face, suddenly felt her anger subside, and her panic disappeared, replaced by a feeling of security. But when he turned to leave, her heart tightened with worry again. She opened her mouth to call him back, but then she stopped herself.

Xiao Yi set down the fruit and walked to the edge of the crowd.

People thought he was leaving.

They had thought a hero had risen to the occasion, but it turned out he was just another timid soul who ran off after a few harsh words.

The group of men smirked with schadenfreude.

Those in the crowd watching Xiao Yi walk away couldn’t help feeling disappointed. They had hoped he would truly stand up for Wang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei.

However, within moments, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed.

The mocking looks on the faces of the men froze completely.
