Chapter 1557 - 1558: Soldier's Foolishness
Yang Fei watched the little girl with her innocent and adorable demeanor, and couldn't help but praise her.
"What a good child."
The little girl blushed and smiled shyly, her big eyes twinkling like a deer's, full of simple beauty.
Yang Fei couldn't help but sigh; for a country and people like this, even after surviving countless battles, bleeding and sacrificing, he would do it without hesitation.
Protecting such beauty is the innate duty of every soldier.
When Yang Fei was on missions abroad, each time he saw small, lifeless bodies lying in the rubble, his heart was always filled with anger and helplessness.
War is like a huge monster; once involved, even pregnant mothers and newborns can't escape being devoured.
Old Master Wang was by his side, and Yang Fei did not dare let his eyes linger on the beauties.
Standing straight and proud, with his eyes unwavering, he exuded the demeanor of an iron-blooded soldier.
Old Master Wang wore a light gray Chinese tunic suit, with a kind smile always on his face.
At first glance, he looked like the most ordinary retired old cadre.
Who would have thought that this old man, half a century ago, once fought fiercely for this country?
Each time Yang Fei looked at Old Master Wang's calm demeanor, he couldn't help but feel admiration and reverence.
If there are gods in this world, then these old men are the true gods.
They forged an era of prosperity with their lives and blood, creating a peaceful and happy life for billions.
The subway passed two stations, and a lot more people boarded.
The crowd grew even more intense, almost like sardines packed tightly together.
Yang Fei slightly regretted, had he known it would be this crowded, he shouldn't have let the old man take the subway. Although the elder was indifferent, if those big shots from the Wang Family found out, they would surely scold Yang Fei fiercely.
Yang Fei stood like a javelin behind the old man, spreading his arms to create a small space for him. The old man noticed Yang Fei's kindness, turned his head to glance at him, his lips curving slightly into a smile.
The subway roared forward, and at this moment, a young yet resolute voice reached Yang Fei's ears.
"Auntie, this person is touching your wallet."
Despite the crowd, the subway was very quiet, and this voice reached almost everyone's ears.
Old Master Wang furrowed his brows, and Yang Fei parted the crowd to look ahead.
At this moment, a man with a dark expression, wearing a gray jacket, stood awkwardly at the side of a seat.
He pointed viciously at the little girl: "Who are you talking about? Did you see it?"
The little girl was clearly intimidated by his fierce demeanor, she lowered her head, not daring to look at his face, yet her voice was firm,
"It's you, I clearly saw you reach your hand into auntie's bag."
"Damn, you brat, look clearly before you speak, don't accuse people at random, this can cause serious trouble."
The man in the gray jacket did not expect the little girl to be so defiant, he was instantly furious, and a malicious aura spread around him.
The little girl shrunk back a bit, not daring to look at the man in the gray jacket, her voice lowered.
However, she still stuck to her opinion: "I am not accusing anyone wrongly, I clearly saw it..."
While speaking, her eyes scanned the crowd, finally looking pleadingly at a slightly plump middle-aged woman with curly hair.
"Auntie, please speak justly, he really stole your wallet."
The man in the gray jacket immediately glared menacingly and nervously at the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman's face turned pale, she touched the wallet in her pocket and found it still there.
Not daring to look at the man in the gray jacket, she mumbled something and shrunk into the crowd, hiding away.
With this, the man in the gray jacket became even more arrogant.
He looked viciously at the little girl: "You little brat, are you blind? Look clearly before you speak, don't accuse people randomly."
The little girl with the red scarf did not expect the stolen middle-aged woman to not dare to admit it.
She cringed, avoiding the man in the gray jacket's finger, tears welling up in her eyes but still sticking to her opinion.
"I didn't see wrong, I'm not falsely accusing, I clearly saw you reach into her bag."
The man in the gray jacket's face turned even darker and more sinister, and he signaled to his sides.
A blonde man approached the little girl.
"Little girl, look clearly before you speak, would my big brother do such a thing?"
Another chubby man with glasses surrounded her, letting out a creepy laugh.
"You brat, seems like you're tired of living, where are your adults? Who lets you slander others randomly?"
The little girl, seeing three or four burly men surrounding her, became terrified.
She burst into tears: "I clearly saw it, he just wanted to steal the auntie's wallet."
The criminals, seeing the little girl not backing down and sticking to her opinion, became angry.
The blonde man grabbed the little girl's shoulder, with a face extremely fierce.
"You need to give us an explanation, we are respectable people, how can we let you slander us like this?"
The little girl didn't expect them to dare to lay hands on her, she was so scared that she cried harder.
"Mommy, mommy, help..."
Everyone in the subway watched this scene, stunned.
Some faces showed anger, but seeing the threatening gaze of the three or four big men, no one dared to step forward.
Old Master Wang watched this scene, sighed softly, and shook his head.
Yang Fei knew the old man felt distressed, so he walked over to him and said gently.
"In any country or city, such evil deeds are always present, hard to eradicate. Let me handle this."
The old man nodded, and Yang Fei squeezed through the crowd, stepping forward.
He lightly patted the shoulder of the blonde man, who shivered as if all his bones turned soft.
Yang Fei took the little girl into his protection effortlessly.
The little girl looked up at Yang Fei, recognized him, and cried even harder.
"Uncle, I clearly saw them stealing from others."
Yang Fei nodded, patting her shoulder: "I saw it too, you're a brave child."
This time, the three to four thieves were not pleased.
The man in the gray jacket started cursing as soon as he saw Yang Fei in his military uniform.
"What a surprise, just some stupid soldier thinking he's someone? Who the hell are you?"
Yang Fei calmly gazed at the man in the gray jacket, his tone indifferent.
"I'm going to count to three. You apologize to the little girl, then call the police and turn yourself in, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
The man in the gray jacket jeered loudly, flexing his muscles.
"You soldiers aren't all about meddling in others' business? Are all soldiers stupid or something?"
"Living in society is not as easy as being in the military."
"One."
Yang Fei raised a finger towards the gray-jacketed man, his expression very calm.
"Damn, this bastard wants to die, let's get him."
The man in the gray jacket shouted, and together with his three or four accomplices, they lunged at Yang Fei.
