Chapter 2358 Caught Her Off Guard
When Anya heard this, she didn't try to stop her, because she knew her cousin was stubborn by nature and couldn't be stopped.
However, she also warned: "Be quick and tactful. After the incident, deal with it cleanly and don't leave any evidence behind."
She paused, and said with a warning, "Don't forget what happened to Li Qiqi and the others."
Yao Xingnuo chuckled on the other end of the phone, and her tone seemed relaxed, "Sister, don't worry, I know what's going on, and I will definitely pay attention."
After the call ended, Yao threw the phone aside, his mouth slightly turned down, and his eyes revealed a cold and vicious look, like a poisoned needle.
This time, she must think of a different method from before to catch Shi Yang off guard.
……
After eating, Marcy and Charlene did not rush back, but continued to stroll around and kill the afternoon time.
Later, we thought it was still early, so we turned into the library in the city center and looked up some information.
They spent the entire afternoon in the quiet information retrieval area, each of them immersed in looking up the books and journals they needed. The rustling sound of turning papers was particularly clear in the quiet space.
It was not until the evening, when the sky outside the window gradually turned into dusk, that the two of them got up and left the library.
They walked side by side to the roadside, said goodbye to each other briefly, and prepared to take a taxi home.
Before getting in the car, Charlene's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from home.
Xia Lin quickly picked up the phone and heard her mother's urgent voice, "Lin Lin, something happened in the store, come back soon."
Xia Lin's heart tightened, her face changed slightly, and she said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go back now."
She was talking on the phone as she got into the car, and in her haste she forgot to say hello to Ma Xi, and got in the car and left immediately.
Marcy was still standing there in a daze. She didn't hear what Charlene had said clearly and didn't know who had called. She only saw her back as she hurried away.
She thought it might be time for dinner and Mother Xia was urging her to go back to the store to help, so she didn't think about it any further.
Soon her car arrived and she went home.
……
Along the way, Charlene clenched her hands and stared out the window anxiously, wishing she could grow wings and fly back.
The restaurant opened by her parents is located in an alley in the city. It serves nearby office workers and offers affordable prices. Business is not particularly booming, but there are constant customers every day, so it is no problem to support the family.
As the car turned into a familiar intersection, Charlene's heart beat faster.
After arriving, she hurriedly paid the fare, and the moment she jumped out of the car, she saw the dire state of the restaurant.
The restaurant's glass door was shattered, the sign was hanging crookedly, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the cutlery was scattered everywhere. It was a mess.
There were traces of what looked like sticks on the wall, mixed with food residue and debris.
There were neighbors gathered outside, some were whispering, some were shaking their heads and sighing.
Dad Xia protected Mom Xia and hid in the corner.
Mother Xia was crying so hard that her whole body was shaking, she was gasping for breath, and her clothes were soaked with tears.
As for the side, several ruffian boys were still smashing things in the store violently.
Tables and chairs were overturned and glass fragments flew everywhere.
Xia Lin struggled to push through the crowd and shouted anxiously, "Make way, Dad... Mom..."
The neighbor uncle was quick to act, fearing that she would run in and get into trouble, so he quickly reached out to stop her, and urged her anxiously: "Linlin, don't go in yet, you'll get hurt."
Xia Lin was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She asked with a choked voice, "Uncle, what on earth happened??? Who are these people???"
The neighbor uncle told Charlene, "These are the hooligans who have appeared frequently in this area recently. They have come to your house several times before and offered free food and drinks, but refused to pay. Today they came again, deliberately picking on the food, shouting that there was something dirty, and demanding compensation from your parents.
Your parents argued with the other party from the beginning, thinking that this was impossible because the store had always been clean, but those hooligans were arrogant and unreasonable. They started pushing and shoving during the argument, and then they hit people directly. "
After hearing this, Charlene was extremely angry.
Her parents are well-known for their cleanliness on the whole street. From the first day they opened the store, neighbors praised them for their good hygiene.
After so many years of operation, there has never been any hygiene problem.
Whenever my parents had free time, they would pick up a rag and clean the store until it shined, and the tables, chairs and floor were spotless.
These people obviously saw the opportunity to extort money, which is so despicable.
Xia Lin asked anxiously: "Did you call the police?"
The neighbor nodded quickly and responded, "I have reported it, and it will probably be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sirens sounded outside, coming from far away and cutting through the entire alley.
The people in the store seemed to have heard it and immediately stopped smashing things. They looked panicked and prepared to run away.
One of them even threatened: "We will come again."
Seeing this, Xia Lin felt a surge of anger in her heart. She naturally couldn't let them leave so easily.
She would never allow anyone to just walk away after causing trouble or hurting someone.
Xia Lin didn't know where she got the strength from, as if a burst of courage burst out from the bottom of her heart. She rushed over, blocked the door with her body, stopped the gangsters, and shouted: "You are not allowed to leave."
Those thugs never expected to meet someone who was not afraid of death.
They were stunned at first, and then one of them looked fierce and shouted rudely: "Get out!"
Xia Lin was naturally unhappy. She glared at the gangsters and said, "You guys have been eating and drinking for free all day, and you even beat someone up. Now you want to just walk away. How can it be so easy?"
She made up her mind that no matter what, she would wait for the police to arrive and not let them get away.
A group of thugs thought this person was in the way and reached out to push her away. One of them pushed her so hard that Charlene almost fell down.
But she quickly stood up, not willing to let them get away so easily.
She rushed forward, grabbed one of the thugs by the clothes, and held it tightly in her hand.
When Mr. and Mrs. Xia saw this thrilling scene, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
The neighbors also ran over to pull her back, persuading her: "Linlin, let go first. These people don't blink an eye when they start fighting. Don't get hurt, or you'll lose more than you gain."
Charlene refused to let go no matter what.
She gritted her teeth and looked determined, determined to wait until the police came and brought justice to them.
At this moment, the police car had stopped at the door of the store. Seeing that the situation was not good, several gangsters fled in panic.
Seeing one of them being dragged by Xia Lin, his companion hurriedly shouted: "Run!"
The thug got furious and rushed forward. Xia Lin was dragged by the brute force, staggered a few steps, and fell directly on the cold ground.
