Chapter 800: Su Bing Recruits Three Followers

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon arriving at the police station, the boys found themselves at a disadvantage during the interrogation. Their inability to articulate their thoughts clearly was no match for Zhou Hua’s adeptness at spinning tales.

However, the police officer was a fair man and favored the boys. They did not suffer any injustice, and the day’s drama was resolved through negotiation. Zhou Hua compensated the boys for their losses with money.

As Zhou Hua left the police station, she felt incredibly unlucky. She didn’t know who had been so meddlesome as to call the police for the boys. Now, with no one to help them, she caught up with the boys and berated them, “You motherless brats, ganging up to swindle me. Your shabby stall isn’t worth ten yuan. Give me back the extra money!”

The boys immediately became defensive. She had already disrupted their livelihood, and now if she wanted to take back the compensation, it would leave them with no means to survive.

The boys took a few steps back, and the leader spoke up hesitantly, “The police officer told you to give this to us. We… we won’t give it back!”

Zhou Hua glared at them with hatred, her face twisted in a threatening manner, “If you don’t return it, be prepared to get beaten. Every time my man sees you, he’ll beat you. Let’s see how you continue to do business near the school!”

However, just as she finished speaking, her vision suddenly went black, and she was dragged away. She remembered that there was a deserted alley ahead. She struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The person who grabbed her was very strong, almost as strong as her man. Every time her man hit her, she was unable to move, so this must also be an adult man!

Realizing this, Zhou Hua’s struggle turned into fear, and she began to tremble. The next second, she heard a man’s voice, “This is the price your man pays for not returning our money!”

Then, as expected, the punches and kicks came. She quickly let out a scream.

Su Bing was very satisfied with this outcome. Clearing his throat, he left the scene first. Ten minutes later, the three boys met up with Su Bing in another deserted corner.

Having knocked out the woman, the leader was somewhat scared, “We didn’t kill her, did we?”

The other two boys were trembling, their bodies shaking with fear. They had just witnessed Su Bing helping them by dragging away the woman they had beaten and stuffed into a sack. They had followed their leader’s lead, attacking the woman they despised. They hated her with a passion. All they wanted was to survive, yet she seemed determined to cut off their lifeline.

They had beaten her mercilessly, almost losing their sanity in the process. Now, they were terrified. If she died, they would be executed. They didn’t want to die.

In stark contrast to the boys’ panic, Su Bing appeared calm, as if nothing had happened. He had merely dragged the woman away without laying a hand on her.

The three boys, malnourished for a long time, lacked strength. At most, they had only managed to beat the woman into a pulp.

Su Bing spoke in a deep voice, “She won’t die. Don’t worry about her going to the police. No one knows what happened. You didn’t do anything.”

The leader, more perceptive than the others, noticed Su Bing was about to leave. He quickly stepped forward, “Brother, no, Big Brother, we owe our lives to you today. We are willing to follow you and help you. We don’t ask for much, just food. My name is Da Hu.”

The other two boys quickly followed suit, “Big Brother, from now on, you are our Big Brother. I am Er Hu, and he is Xiao Hu.

“Big Brother, Zhou Hua won’t let us off. She’s been causing trouble for our stall because her husband collects the stall fees near the school. We barely scraped together enough money to start our business, we can’t afford the eight-dollar monthly stall fee.”

After listening to their story and combining it with the personal information about Zhou Hua given by Grandma Gao, Su Bing instantly understood. Zhou Hua’s actions today were to help her husband collect stall fees. She used the excuse of protecting students and smashed the stalls that didn’t pay the fees under the guise of a school teacher. This was a way to intimidate other stall owners into paying their fees.

Su Bing frowned, such a person was not fit to educate!

He looked at the three boys, older than him, and said, “If you want to follow me, you need to be useful. You need to be educated. Illiterates can’t help me.”

The three boys hesitated for a moment, and finally, Da Hu voiced their hardship, “We are all orphaned street children. We survive on government aid. We don’t have the privilege to go to school. We only know a few simple characters, learned by sneaking into village classrooms.”

Er Hu looked dejected, “So, Big Brother Da Hu, Big Brother doesn’t want to take us in. We definitely can’t go back to the stall. Zhou Hua will definitely come to cause trouble again. What should we do?”
