Chapter 38: Gang of Thieves

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

When Zhan Yifeng and Zhan Yilin saw the two young men in floral shirts, they knew that those two were not nice people. Immediately, they stood up, wanting to go forward to help Su Jinyue. However, before they had even walked up to the two young men, they saw the two of them rushing out in a flurry while clutching their stomachs.

Both of them exchanged looks with each other. What’s going on?

Just then, there was a commotion outside the door. Zhan Yifeng and Zhan Yilin hurriedly rushed out.

When they got outside the door, they saw the two youths in floral shirts, who had rushed out just now, lying on the ground and wailing in agony. Their buttocks were already soaked with a puddle of yellow water, and were even accompanied by the sound of farts, polluting the air with the stench.

At the side, two policemen were looking in disdain at the two young men in floral shirts on the ground. They had been quietly following behind Su Jinyue and her party after they left the police station, protecting them in secret.

They knew that the people from the gang of thieves would definitely come and cause trouble for Su Jinyue and the rest. As long as the gang of thieves caused trouble, they would arrest them. However, they did not expect that before they could take action, the two young men from the gang would fail on their own. Although this saved them the trouble, the situation gave them very mixed feelings.

The passers-by saw this scene and gathered around one after another. When they saw what was happening, all of them contemptuously pointed at the two young men in floral shirts.

“They’re so old already but still doing something so shameless on the streets. No sense of shame at all.”

“It’s so disgusting, I’m about to vomit.”

“You’re not a kid any more, can’t you hold it in.”

Listening to the censure of the people around them, the two young men in floral shirts wanted to cry but the tears did not come. How could they possibly want to do something so shameful? However, they really couldn’t hold it in.

“Was it you who did this?” Zhan Yifeng asked Su Jinyue as he looked at her. The previous time when Big Sister Liu had introduced a boyfriend to Su Jinyue, Su Jinyue had pricked the guy with a needle and he became out of control just with that. The situation of these two young men in floral shirts was similar to that person.

Su Jinyue smiled noncommittally. She then turned around and walked into the noodle shop, she just so happened to brush past Zhan Yiping who came out.

Zhan Yiping rolled her eyes at Su Jinyue. When she got to the entrance and saw the situation outside, her eyes widened in surprise. “Second brother, why are they like this? Are they ill from eating something bad?”

“It should be Jinyue’s doing. She’s a doctor who is well-versed in acupuncture points. Last time, when Big Sister Liu introduced a boyfriend to Jinyue, it seems that the guy was rude to Jinyue. Later on, he ended up just like the two people outside,” Zhan Yifeng briefly narrated what had happened the previous time.

Zhan Yiping’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Something like that really happened? Why don’t I know about it.” If Su Jinyue really had that kind of ability, it would be better for her not to provoke her in the future. If Su Jinyue also treated her like that, how could she have any face to get married in the future?

Returning to her seat, Zhan Yiping furtively glanced at Su Jinyue with a trace of fear in her eyes. She still did not believe that Su Jinyue had that kind of ability, but she dared not provoke Su Jinyue anymore. After they went back, she would go and ask Yiren about the situation.

Su Jinyue’s lips turned up slightly. It’s not a bad thing to make Zhan Yiping fearful, lest she comes and causes trouble for me as and when she pleases.

After eating the noodles, the group of them came to the place where they had alighted previously and saw that Uncle Li was already waiting there.

“You guys are back so early.” Uncle Li smiled and took another puff of his pipe tobacco before tapping the pipe against the cart frame in front of him, and sticking the pipe on his waist belt. He thought he would have to wait for another hour or two.

“There’s nothing fun in the county and the things are expensive, might as well go back earlier,” said Zhan Dafeng. Although he did not talk about it, he was actually still a little scared that those thieves from the gang would come and take revenge against them.

Uncle Li nodded in agreement, “That’s true. The things in the county are expensive and not tasty. They are not even as delicious as my wife’s cooking.” Every time he came to the county, he would bring his own dry snacks and rarely went to the stores to eat.

Everyone got onto the cart. Accompanied by creaking sounds, the bullock cart headed towards Shangxin Village.

Two young men, who were dressed somewhat similarly to the two youths in floral shirts from before, walked out from an alley nearby.

“Boss, should we follow them?” one of the young men asked.

Another young man with a curly perm, raised his hand and knocked on the head of the young man asking the question. “You don’t say! Of course we have to follow them!” It was not just in one or two days that he had formed a thief gang, yet they actually fell into the hands of these few country bumpkins today. How could he possibly swallow his anger?

The young man, who had been beaten, shrank his neck and said, “What if the police come again?” It was because of these few people that three of their buddies had been arrested and brought to the police station.

The young man with a curly perm fiercely whacked the other person’s head again and said, “Do you think the police are that free?!” He had already observed and saw that there were only the two policemen from just now following these people. Besides, how would the police know that they would come and cause trouble with these people again.

“But there are only two of us and they have four men. Can we handle them?” the young man asked with a grimace.

The young man with a curly perm thought for a while before nodding and said, “You continue following the and make marks along the way. I’ll go and call Number Five and the rest.” He was not worried about two old men and the three women, but the two young men seemed fairly strong.

Su Jinyue felt someone tailing them, so she turned her head to take a look and her brows knitted together slightly. She did not even need to think to know that the people tailing them must be from the gang of thieves. She had not expected them to be so persistent.

Turning around to look at Zhan Dafeng and Wang Meizhen who were by the side, she said, “Uncle Zhan, Aunty Zhan, I suddenly remembered that there’s something I haven’t bought, so I still have to go back to the county. You guys can go back first.” With her current abilities, it was not a problem for her to deal with five or six ordinary folks.

“But it’s late. It’s too dangerous for you to be in the county alone,” Zhan Dafeng advised. If she goes alone, what if she met those people from the thief gang?

Wang Meizhen nodded in agreement, “How can we rest assured to let a girl go off alone. You can go next time instead.” If something happened to Jinyue, how was she going to explain it to Yihan.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, Yihan taught me some martial arts,” Su Jinyue said. Her heart felt warm to see that they cared about her so much.

“Even then, that’s not okay. What if you run into those people from the thief gang? What are you going to do on your own?” Zhan Yifeng said. He knew that Su Jinyue knew how to use needles to pierce acupuncture points, but she was still a girl after all.

Su Jinyue was just about to say something, when she heard Zhan Yiping screaming, “They are chasing after us! What should we do?”

Everyone quickly turned their heads to take a look, only to see five young men dressed in floral shirts and looking like hooligans, each riding a bicycle and chasing after them.
