48: Chapter 48 Su Bai Saves the Day, A Game of Acquaintances?

Opposite Mu Qing, five or six young men were strolling over.

The leader was a tall, thin fellow with dyed yellow hair, wearing a black jacket with a skull print, walking with a swagger that screamed, "I'm the boss of this street."

Following behind them was a boy wearing a Yinghua Middle School uniform.

When that boy saw Mu Xiaohu, his eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly.

"Mu Xiaohu! You actually dared to come!"

Mu Xiaohu blocked the path in front of Mu Qing.

"Why wouldn't I dare!"

The middle school student glanced at him, then looked at Mu Qing behind him, and scoffed.

"What's the meaning of bringing a girl when you're here for a fight?" He turned back and shouted at the few young men,

"Boss, this kid only brought a girl!"

The few young men approached.

The yellow-haired leader—Zhou Qing—had his gaze fall upon Mu Qing, and he was instantly stunned.

Mu Qing was wearing a cream-white sweater today, paired with dark blue jeans.

Her hair was loose, making her skin appear even fairer.

Her figure was voluptuous, with curves in all the right places, appearing exceptionally alluring wrapped in that sweater.

Her jeans were stretched taut, rounding out her figure in an enticing way.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

He stepped forward, striking a pose he thought was very cool.

"Hello there, beauty. I'm this kid's boss."

He pointed at the middle school student beside him and then patted his own chest,

"Known on the streets as the Wanderer, Zhou Qing."

Mu Qing ignored him and pulled Mu Xiaohu behind her.

Mu Xiaohu struggled to rush forward, but she held him back firmly.

"Mu Xiaohu, behave yourself!"

The middle school student watched this scene, laughing even more smugly.

She pulled Mu Xiaohu further behind her, blocking the front herself.

"What do you want?"

However, Mu Xiaohu didn't appreciate the gesture; he pushed her hand away and charged to the front.

"This has nothing to do with my sister!" He glared at that middle school student, "You're looking for me, so come at me!"

That middle school student laughed.

"Mu Xiaohu, since you came alone today, we won't bully you." He chuckled twice, his gaze shifting to Mu Qing,

"Let your sister hang out with our boss for a few days, and we'll call it even."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing and his group immediately perked up.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just hanging out with us for a few days will do!"

"Don't worry, our boss is very gentle!"

"This figure is absolutely amazing!"

"Little lady, come with us brothers; we guarantee you'll have a good time!"

Several men crowded around, sizing up Mu Qing, their smiles becoming increasingly brazen.

Mu Qing shielded Mu Xiaohu behind her, forcing herself to remain calm.

"Behave yourselves!" She took out her phone, "If you mess around again, I'm calling the police!"

Zhou Qing's lackeys laughed.

"Calling the police? Little sister, you don't know, do you? Our boss has connections at the station; calling the police is useless!"

One of them stepped forward,

"Just obediently hang out with us brothers for a few days, and we'll call it even, otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the implication was already very clear.

Mu Qing's hands were trembling.

She looked at the five or six men in front of her, then looked at her underage younger brother behind her, her mind racing.

Run?

Could she get away with Mu Xiaohu?!

Fight?

But she was just a girl, how could she fight?!

"I'll kill you all!"

Seeing his sister being humiliated, Mu Xiaohu clenched his fists and rushed forward violently.

But he was only a middle school student after all; he was no match for adults, let alone thugs like Zhou Qing and his group who had been fighting on the streets for years.

Zhou Qing kicked him away.

"Little bastard, get lost to the side, don't get in the way!"

Mu Qing hurried to help her brother.

She looked up at the faces of those men, seeing their lecherous gazes, and a wave of despair welled up in her heart.

If only she had known...

Just then, a roar of an engine came from the street corner!

The sound was low and powerful, approaching from afar, getting louder and louder!

Everyone turned their heads to look.

A black jade-colored panamera rushed out from the street corner, moving at extreme speed, roaring like a ferocious beast, charging straight toward them!

Zhou Qing and his group were startled and hurriedly jumped to the sides.

"What the f*ck!"

"Who the hell is this!"

"Are you blind! You almost hit someone!"

The panamera executed a tail-flick, tires screeching against the ground, and drifted to a stop in front of Mu Qing.

The car body tilted, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The car door opened.

A long leg stepped out first, clad in black trousers and white sneakers.

Then Su Bai stepped out of the car.

He was wearing a black short down jacket with a simple white T-shirt underneath.

Sunlight shone down from above the alley, outlining his tall silhouette and sharp, angular face.

His gaze swept across the alley and landed on Zhou Qing, his brows slightly furrowed.

Then he looked at Mu Qing.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Mu Qing stared at him blankly, looking at the handsome panamera and the way he stepped out of the car, finding herself unable to speak for a moment.

Only one thought was in her mind—

So handsome!!

"I... I'm fine."

She said softly, but still trembling slightly.

Mu Xiaohu climbed up from the ground, and when he saw Su Bai, his eyes went wide.

He looked at the panamera, looked at Su Bai, then looked at Mu Qing, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

That entrance was just too cool!

That middle school student was also stunned by the scene.

But he froze for a few seconds before reacting.

"Who the hell are you?!" He pointed at Su Bai and cursed,

"So what if you drive a crappy car? Are you looking to die?!"

He turned his head, wanting to look for Zhou Qing and the others for support.

Then he froze.

He saw that Zhou Qing and the others were standing there, faces pale, trembling all over.

That expression looked exactly like they had seen a ghost.

Zhou Qing's legs were already beginning to shake.

Mu Qing didn't notice the change in expression of the thugs, she came to Su Bai's side,

"Su Bai!" She lowered her voice,

"You should leave! There are too many of them, we can't win!"

Su Bai glanced at her and smiled,

"Leave? Why?" He tilted his chin toward Zhou Qing's direction,

"I ran into an acquaintance; shouldn't I say hello?"

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment.

An acquaintance?

Su Bai stepped toward Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing watched him walk over, his legs going soft.

"B-Boss..." His voice was trembling,

"W-Why are you here..."

Su Bai stood still in front of him.

"You're called... Zhou Qing, right?" His voice was very calm, "What a coincidence?"

"Yes! Yes, yes! Whatever you say my name is, that's what it is."

Zhou Qing almost knelt down.

Coincidence, my foot!

If he had known Su Bai was here, he wouldn't have come even if it killed him!

Last time in the alley, he was kicked three meters away by Su Bai, and then beaten until he was missing teeth by those two bodyguards who appeared out of nowhere!

He had only just recovered yesterday!

And today he ran into him again!

And he was the one who started the trouble, damn it.

"Boss, I... I didn't know this was your friend..."

Zhou Qing forced a smile that looked worse than crying,

"I really didn't know. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared even if I had a hundred guts..."

Su Bai didn't speak.

Mu Qing walked over, looked at Zhou Qing, and then looked at Su Bai.

She hesitated for a moment, then hugged Su Bai's arm, stood on tiptoe, and leaned into his ear.

Her warm breath brushed against his earlobe, tickling him.

She quickly explained the course of events.

After listening, Su Bai's expression turned cold.

He looked at Zhou Qing and waved his hand, saying,

"Come here, you, come here!"
