"Leave before I call the police" Sara warned.
The men laughed and looked at the pet.i.te girl before them. They had been acting all serious earlier. They were grateful to this tiny girl for making them laugh now.
Li Muchen just stood behind her without saying anything. This girl really has some guts. She dared threaten a group of gangsters?
"Hey, little girl, come closer" The leader ordered as he puffed a cigarette and stood up.
"Please, let her go. She has nothing to do with this" Mr Chu pleaded as he tried to get on his knees. But was kicked down by a man.
Sara ignored all of them and just moved to where Mr Chu was and scrunched down in front of him. Muchen tried to stop her but she was really fast. The best way to smoothen things over was to not act rash. But Sara wasn"t helping issues right now.
"Mr Chu, We should go to the hospital" She said.
"No...no..no.. I do not know you. Leave here" Mr Chu said as he pushed Sara away. He did not want her to get involved in any way.
"How can you say you do not know me when you called me cute banana earlier?. Let us get you to the hospital" She took out her phone which was ringing from her pocket and was in the middle of taking the call when the Boss moved to where she was.
He pulled her by her arm and raised her up forcefully. Then, took her phone from her hand and tossed it at the wall. "What do you think you are doing?" He demanded
The sound of her scattering phone startled her. Sara looked at her phone which was scattered all over then looked at him in anger. He should be in his mid thirties. He was bald, heavy built, and had several tattoos on his neck. He seemed to have gotten rid of his cigarette since there was none in his hand.
Muchen"s breath ceased when he saw the man hold Sara. Even Mr Chu and Bilike were both frightened. Muchen tried moving to where they were standing but was intercepted by three other men.
"You can leave now to save yourself" one of them said.
"Move!" Sara heard him order the men.
They just laughed at him and warned him not to get involved in their boss"s business.
Muchen tried to force his way out but was taken completely unaware by a sudden punch in the gut. He couldn"t maintain his balance and fell on the floor.
Sara"s eyes widened when she saw what had just happened.
She didn"t know when she suddenly shouted "Mr Li" and pushed the boss aside to get to where Li Muchen was lying down.
The boss was surprised. How was she able to push him off like that? He wondered
"Mr Li. are you okay?" She asked worriedly when she saw blood coming out of his mouth.
He nodded faintly and tried to get up but could not. With Sara"s a.s.sistance, he was able to stand up. He was so embarra.s.sed that he couldn"t look at her directly.
"Mr Li? from the Li family?" The one who punched him asked "Ah! no wonder I felt he looked so familiar!"
"You"ve met him before Big Dong?" The boss asked.
"Of course, Have you forgotten the other time I was sent to prison by a member of the Li family? it was because of him!"
"Was that the case that involved your younger sister, Changru? Another asked.
"Of course, he had totally taken his cousin"s side when his cousin dumped my sister. Not only did he humiliate her, he also sent me to prison when I tried to seek justice for her." He said.
"I see! Then he is all yours today" The boss said as he laughed like a maniac.
Sara had no idea who they were talking about since she had never heard the name "Changru" before. Of course, she didn"t know that it was the same girl she had bullied.
She couldn"t help feeling bad for Muchen. Because of his cousin again! He had to suffer. She wouldn"t let that happen though since she was the one who dragged him into this. Even if it meant blowing her cover -For Mr Li to see the other part of her she didn"t want him to see.
The men surrounded Sara and Muchen. Muchen squeezed her hands gently and a.s.sured her. "I"ll protect you Sara"
Sara was greatly touched. But a part of her head was screaming. "Seriously? you are going to protect me when you are already like this because of a punch? what happens when all of these people punch you then"
"I"m sorry for dragging you into this Mr Li. it"s my fault" She cleared her head and said.
He shook his head lightly and smiled at her.
"What a romantic scene.. Don"t worry, you will both join Romeo and Juliet soon" Big Dong mocked while the others laughed. The boss just sat back on the bench and continued smoking his cigarette while waiting for the show to begin.
