Qiqi and Xiaotang laughed and walked all the way to the street. Shops on both sides opened one after another. In order to attract customers, some shops put out dolls and stood on the roadside to greet people passing by.
Qiqi was suddenly attracted to a bear doll not far away, and ran after it. Song Qiao and An's wife hurriedly followed.
"Hey, where's the doll that was here just now?"
Qiqi chased the doll and ran to an alley. She found that the doll that was there just now was missing, so she looked around to find the doll.
Song Qiao came over and took a look at it.
Indeed, there was no trace of the doll. She lowered her head and said, "Maybe the doll is off work. Let's go and see him another day."
Song Qiao said, taking Qiqi away.
The little girl was obviously a little disappointed. When she was about to leave, she suddenly saw the disappearing doll appearing at the other end of the alley from the corner of her eye, waving to the passing crowd with her back to them.
Qiqi's eyes lit up when she saw the doll, and she dragged Song Qiao and ran over there, "Mommy, Mommy, let's go over there."
Before he finished speaking, four or five men in black suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
They probably came prepared. They wore white masks on their faces. Their cold eyes stared directly at Song Qiao and the others through the two holes. They also held machetes about half a meter long in their hands.
Song Qiao had a sudden thought and was about to go back while protecting Qiqi and Xiaotang. However, the moment she turned around, four or five more people appeared and directly blocked their way. They had the same clothes and the same cold eyes.
This is specifically for them, with dolls included.
When Song Qiao realized this, her heart suddenly went cold. She protected Mrs. An and the two children behind her, stared at them and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Without saying a word, the man in black suddenly walked towards them dragging an iron rod and waved his hand to smash it down.
"ah--"
Qiqi screamed.
…
Outside the alley, Gu Jingting was sitting in the car, watching Qiqi happily chasing the doll. He was thinking that when he took them home, he might buy more dolls at home. She liked to play, so naturally she wanted to be satisfied.
Just when the idea was about to settle, Xiang Chen suddenly received news, "Mr. Gu, there was news from over there, saying that Miss Song and the others were not seen walking out, and the dolls had also gone away."
Gu Jingting realized something immediately. He opened the door and got out of the car, "They are in trouble. Take someone with you and follow me."
Xiang Chen also felt something was wrong and quickly followed him.
As soon as they ran to the entrance of the alley, they saw a group of men in black surrounding Song Qiao and the others, with sticks raised high. At this time, even if they rushed over, it was too late.
Xiang Chen widened his glasses and tried to speed up.
Gu Jingting's pupils shrank suddenly. When he saw the boxes piled in the corner, he suddenly took two quick steps, stood up on the boxes, jumped directly into the crowd, and held Song Qiao tightly in his arms when the iron bar fell.
"Bang--"
As the world was spinning, Song Qiao felt that the muffled sound was extremely loud, like a heavy knock on her eardrum, reverberating repeatedly.
Her eyes widened, "Gu Jingting!"
Song Qiao screamed and quickly hugged Gu Jingting's body, looking nervously at the wound on the back of his head.
However, Gu Jingting smiled and held her in his arms.
"Don't shout so loudly. My ears are very good." He said in a deep voice, "You can take Mrs. An and the others and step aside. I will handle it here."
As he spoke, he pushed Song Qiao away.
Song Qiao wanted to speak, but Gu Jingting had already pushed her away. At the same time, Xiang Chen arrived with people, and bodyguards came in from both ends of the alley, blocking all the men in black inside.
They wanted to escape, but they had no chance.
With the bodyguards brought by Xiang Chen and others, these men in black had no power to fight back.
When Gu Jingting thought of the thrilling scene he had just witnessed, his anger surged. He took the iron rod from the hands of the people passing by and strode into the battle.
He struck hard and showed no mercy, and no one who passed by his hand was left standing.
However, in just a short moment, almost all of the men in black who had looked so menacing just now fell down.
Song Qiao stood in the corner protecting Mrs. An and the others, reaching out to cover Qiqi and Xiaotang's eyes, but there was no way to stop the sound from reaching their ears.
This was the first time for the two little guys to face such a bloody scene. They held Song Qiao tightly with both hands, trembling with fear.
The helpless look made Song Qiao heartbroken.
Xiang Chen also noticed the situation here. After taking care of everyone, he waved his hand to the bodyguards to clean up the place without leaving even a trace of blood.
"Mr. Gu, everything has been taken care of," he said.
Gu Jingting turned his eyes and found that Qiqi and Xiaotang didn't even dare to poke their heads out to see the situation, so he simply said, "Take everyone away."
"But you..."
"I'm fine."
When Xiang Chen heard what he said, his eyes showed concern. Gu Jingting had actually been stabbed just now. He hadn't taken a closer look at it yet, but he knew the situation was not good.
Seeing that he was still standing there, Gu Jingting frowned and said, "Why don't you leave quickly?"
He had no choice but to nod and leave with the others.
After everyone in the alley had evacuated, Gu Jingting lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and then walked towards Song Qiao, but he was not in a hurry to talk to Song Qiao.
He knelt down and said to Qiqi and Xiaotang, "It's okay, I've driven everyone away."
Qiqi and Xiaotang did not dare to raise their heads and still hugged Song Qiao tightly.
Gu Jingting paused for a moment, reached out to grab Xiaotang, and used a little force to force him out. Xiaotang was afraid and closed his eyes tightly.
He didn't force him, he just said, "You are the only man in the family. I remember you said before that you want to protect your mother, right?"
"Yeah." Xiaotang nodded.
Gu Jingting said, "To protect your mother, you can't just talk about it, you have to take action."
He didn't look at Xiaotang's reaction and just said to himself, "First of all, at times like this, you have to muster the courage to stand up. Even if you can't protect your mother, you have to find a way to protect your sister."
"Otherwise, if you don't even have the courage to open your eyes, how can you protect others?"
Xiaotang trembled, obviously still scared, but still forced himself to slowly open his eyes.
Gu Jingting was squatting in front of him, his face was calm, not afraid at all, but he had some time to arrange his clothes, and he couldn't tell what happened before.
"Aren't you afraid?" Xiaotang asked.
Gu Jingting paused slightly, looked at him and said, "Of course I'm scared."
He pointed to the boxes stacked in the corner, "When I jumped down from there just now, I was thinking, what if those people didn't have eyesight and just cut me down?"
"You know, a sword has no eyes, and no one can guarantee that he will survive safely."
"Then why are you rushing over?" Xiaotang was confused. Shouldn't he avoid it?
