Chapter 394 - 388_1
"Zhao Family brothers, Zhao Family’s lady, you’re here too?" As more and more people gathered, Li Xun, who had arrived at some point, saw Zhao Erhu and his wife and greeted them.
"Yes, Li Big Brother, this child is quite pitiable, bullied by a few ruffians, and on top of that, he’s stubborn and unwilling to submit. These people are ruthless and merciless in their actions, I fear things might turn out badly." Witnessing the scene unfolding before her, Lin Yue couldn’t bear it and wanted to save Chang Xiaohu. Seeing Li Xun arrive, she became more hopeful. Li Xun was a member of the Jiang Family, with a powerful background, even if he took action, he wouldn’t need to worry about any trouble. No matter how daring they were, a few local ruffians wouldn’t dare to provoke someone affiliated with the Jiang Family.
Li Xun had traveled far and wide and had seen such incidents numerous times; although he felt some sympathy, he had no other thoughts, "That’s just how the world is, these ruffians have been rampant in Longmen Town for many years now, only because their leader is the county official’s brother-in-law, and thus, the locals dare not provoke them."
Li Xun’s usual business involved escorting goods, and he relied on Longmen Town several times a year, so he was very familiar with the local situation.
"It’s just lamentable for this child, only eight or nine years old, to fall into the hands of these ruffians."
"Does Zhao Family’s lady wish to save this child?" Li Xun roughly guessed Lin Yue’s intention. To him, it was a matter that could be either done or not. However, having interacted with Zhao Erhu and his wife over the past few days, he found them to be good people. Besides, there was already a directive from the Family Head earlier. If Lin Yue made the request, he would also be willing to save the child.
"If it’s convenient, I would like to ask Li Big Brother to save this child, but I’m not sure if it would cause any trouble for you?"
"Not a problem. They’re just a few local ruffians; I don’t even take them seriously. Since Zhao Family’s lady has spoken, I’ll play the good Samaritan this time and save someone." After Li Xun finished speaking, he stepped forward and swiftly rescued Chang Xiaohu from the hands of the ruffians.
