Chapter 352: Ambush
Chapter 352: Ambush
Ying Zhi hesitated for a long time as she shielded Sui Sui, unsure whether to charge forward. Finally, seeing that Sui Sui was protected, she gritted her teeth and rushed ahead.
After all, she also had to protect Feng You Tan.
Otherwise, if they lost the fight, they would surely start bawling!
With so many children around, the situation quickly descended into chaos.
Back in the village, Sui Sui had, of course, seen children fighting before.
But this was the first time she had witnessed so many children engaged in an all-out brawl.
As she watched the group of children punching and kicking each other enthusiastically, Sui Sui was stunned.
Feeling anxious, she tugged at Tang Tang's sleeve and shrunk behind her sisters, afraid of being caught in the fray.
It wasn't that she was particularly timid, but rather...
It was just too scary.
She had witnessed with her own eyes a young boy biting another, causing the taller boy to wail in pain.
Sensing Sui Sui's panic, Shen Hua Tang gently reassured her, "It's okay, it's okay. They're just playing around. It'll be over soon."
With Feng Xuan Rui and Feng Xuan Bin standing guard, things should be fine, she thought.
But Shen Hua Tang couldn't be sure.
After all, He Dai had a less-than-stellar reputation in the capital, and although he was young, he was already quite skilled at causing trouble.
The group of young masters from the Xu Mansion were also mostly troublemakers, known for stirring up trouble in the capital.
When these two groups collided...
Shen Hua Tang couldn't predict the outcome.
As Shen Hua Tang kept her eyes fixed on the unfolding situation, a child sneaked up on them stealthily.
Liu He Meng instinctively sensed something amiss and turned just in time to see a child charging towards them, clearly targeting their group.
Acting on impulse, Liu He Meng spread her arms wide, shielding Sui Sui behind her.
However, their assailant was too fast, and he barreled towards them like a tiny cannonball.
Liu He Meng tried to block him, but he dodged past her, knocking her over in his rush.
As she fell, Sui Sui, who was hiding behind her, was also pulled down.
Shen Hua Tang cried out in surprise and quickly served as a human cushion, protecting Sui Sui from injury.
Shen Hua Tang and Liu He Meng yelped in surprise, immediately catching the attention of Feng Xuan Rui and the others.
Seeing Sui Sui on the ground, even though she was shielded by her sisters, Feng Xuan Rui's eyes reddened with anger.
Paying no heed to the others, he charged forward, grabbed the person who had knocked Sui Sui down by the back of their neck, and forcibly pulled them off the three girls.
Without a second glance, he flung his assailant away.
Feng Xuan Rui was strong, but his opponent was chubby, so his throw didn't send the little fatty very far. The impact, however, made the little fatty wail loudly, his cries piercing the air and causing everyone's eardrums to ache.
Feng Xuan Rui wanted to ignore him, but fearing that the loud cries would scare his sister, he roared, "Shut up, or I'll lock you up in the dungeon!"
As he spoke, Feng Xuan Rui took a few steps forward, first helping Liu He Meng to her feet and then picking up Sui Sui.
Shen Hua Tang, who had been at the bottom of the pile, now sat up, and Feng Xuan Rui gently stroked Sui Sui's head, his voice softening, "Don't be afraid, little sister. Your brother is here. Don't be scared. I've driven away the bad guys."
After Liu He Meng stood up, she first glanced at the pudgy boy, Wei Lan Qiao, who had been thrown aside by Feng Xuan Rui, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. Then she turned and helped Shen Hua Tang to her feet.
Liu He Meng helped the person up and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Shen Hua Tang shook her head lightly. Her bottom hurt from the fall, but she was too embarrassed to say so.
Liu He Meng couldn't very well check her for injuries in front of everyone either. Seeing Shen Hua Tang nod, she turned her attention to Wei Lan Qiao, noticing his eyes shifting as if he was concocting yet another mischievous plan. Liu He Meng let out an inward cold laugh but wore a panicked expression as she exclaimed, "Brother He Dai, someone here is bullying Sui Sui!"
With that shout, He Dai, who was in the middle of a scuffle, quickly withdrew and rushed to Sui Sui's side.
He noticed Feng Xuan Rui holding Sui Sui and comforting her tenderly, which only served to further enrage him. His eyes, already red with anger, burned with even more intensity, and he scanned the surroundings, demanding, "Who did this?"
And then his gaze landed on... Wei Lan Qiao.
Wei Lan Qiao was only four years old this year, but he was exceptionally tall and sturdy for his age, even carrying a bit more baby fat than Sui Sui.
Beneath his chubby exterior, however, lurked a dark heart.
Due to the issues with the Xu family, He Dai held a strong grudge against the members of the Wei Manor.
Upon recognizing Wei Lan Qiao and noticing his shifty eyes, He Dai let out a cold laugh and strode forward.
Wei Lan Qiao immediately recognized his disadvantage and called out in surrender, "I'm sorry, Brother He Dai. I was wrong. I shouldn't have bumped into people, and I didn't think about how Sui Sui couldn't take the impact. I was just joking around, and I really didn't do it on purpose. I'm sorry, Brother. I..."
He Dai, however, paid no heed to Wei Lan Qiao's pleas as he delivered a punch straight to the little fatty's face, sending him into a fit of wailing.
He Dai's fists followed no rules and struck with immense force.
Seeing that pleading was useless, Wei Lan Qiao could only resort to wailing loudly.
Unfortunately for him, He Dai was utterly unmoved and stepped forward to deliver two more resounding punches. "How dare you bump into my sister! I'll beat you to a pulp!"
As Wei Lan Qiao cried out in pain, the battle on the other side gradually came to a halt.
With He Dai no longer fighting, the others naturally just pretended to scuffle, acting it out to cover up the incident.
Before everyone could even straighten themselves up, they witnessed He Dai, crouching down, raining punch after punch on Wei Lan Qiao.
When Feng You Tan saw this, she quickly scurried over, pleading, "Hold back, hold back! He's just a child. Don't beat him to death."
He Dai understood his limits, but he couldn't control the rage burning within him.
Hearing Feng You Tan's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "He took advantage when we weren't looking and bumped into Sui Sui, even hurting her."
Upon hearing this, Feng You Tan subconsciously looked towards Sui Sui.
At that moment, Sui Sui was still in Feng Xuan Rui's embrace, looking a little dazed, as if she hadn't fully recovered from the previous incident.
Witnessing this scene, Feng You Tan clenched her small teeth and said through gritted teeth, "Even if he's beaten to death, it doesn't matter. The Wei Manor has more than just this one young master."
Upon hearing this, Wei Lan Qiao felt his vision darken.
He Dai was about to throw another punch when...
Lu Yin Xiao, accompanied by Tang Ling Heng, happened to walk by.
Observing the scene before them, Lu Yin Xiao didn't directly intervene but gently nodded his head in approval. With a stern expression, he advised, "If the young masters of the Wei Manor are ignorant and unruly, you can request the elders of the Wei Manor to educate them properly."
Upon hearing this, He Dai immediately exploded, "I'm not a tattletale!"
