Wen Shuying was about to throw a punch when Pang Datou and Lin Qi rushed forward. Wang Bu, not to be outdone, shoved the two of them. The scene became somewhat chaotic.
Shutong was protected behind Wen Shuying. At this moment, she found an opportunity to peek out, grabbed Fan Yue’s school uniform hem, and looked at him with what she thought was the most sinister look, enunciating each word clearly.
“Give me back my medicine, otherwise if I die, you’ll be responsible for my death.”
With her voice, the tense atmosphere instantly quieted down, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.
Fan Yue lowered his eyes expressionlessly and saw the little girl staring at him with her big eyes inlaid with black gems. The little girl was threatening him in a cute but fierce way. Her little hands, which were gripping the hem of his clothes, were thin but not dirty.
“Tongtong.” Wen Shuying quickly pulled Shutong back, afraid that Fan Yue would hurt her.
Wang Bu said that Fan Yue had a strange temper and was particularly hostile to them.
Fan Yue smoothed out the crumpled hem of his clothes and slowly uttered, “I’m really not afraid of taking lives.”
“Fan Yue, I’m the one who offended you, so you’d better come at me.” Wang Bu said in a gloomy voice.
When Shutong heard that name, she slowly began to connect it with the character in the novel.
Fan Yue was Cong Jun’s younger brother from the same compound. He later joined the army, but he was violent and unpredictable. Cong Jun and Wang Ling’er always took good care of him and advised him not to be too stubborn. However, he eventually went astray, violently injuring several thugs and ending up in prison.
These were not part of the main storyline, so they were not detailed. Shutong could only infer from some plot points that Fan Yue had a deep prejudice against hooligans and beggars, so severe that it might even cause him to lose control and kill.
That medicine… probably wouldn’t be gotten back.
Fan Yue wished that this little piece of trash would die.
However, Fan Yue loosened his grip and casually tossed the medicine bag over.
Wen Shuying reached out and caught it, frowning as he looked at him, instinctively knowing he was up to something.
Shutong thought so too, and even suspected that the other party had called the police, so she grabbed her brother and Wang Bu and ran away.
Wen Shuying bent down and picked her up, moving with a brisk pace.
Shutong wrapped her arms around his neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked in Fan Yue’s direction.
[Host’s fate modification progress +5. The current progress is 6!]
Upon hearing the system’s voice, Shutong felt a bit calmer; she had finally escaped death.
“Fan Yue, are we really just going to leave them alone? Wang Bu is a habitual thief, and those two who follow him must have done a lot of bad things too.” Pang Datou said in a low voice.
In his opinion, these people all need to be taught a lesson; otherwise, they will become a threat to society in the future.
Fan Yue’s lips curved into a half-smile, but his eyes were icy cold, as if covered in frost.
He’d let them off this time; if he caught them again, he’d send them straight to re-education.
“It’s none of our business. Just let them stay out of our way.”
Lin Qi exchanged a glance with Pang Datou and then patted Fan Yue on the shoulder.
“Back already?”
Fan Yue also had a younger brother, who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll. Fan Yue complained that he was clingy, but in reality, he wanted to save all the good things for him. Unfortunately, his brother died along with their mother.
Fan Yue nodded, his gaze sweeping over the wrinkle on the hem of his clothes. He paused for a moment, and a familiar feeling of suffocation enveloped him once again.

In the following days, Shutong spent most of her time recuperating in the bamboo hut, and gradually, her health improved.
Wen Shuying and Wang Bu took her to a small clinic to remove the stitches. The two of them watched the doctor’s movements with their nerves on edge.
Shutong couldn’t see anything. She spent the whole time munching on half an ear of corn, looking completely silly.
There was still a scar on her forehead, but it was covered by sparse bangs, so it was not a big problem.
The biggest problem facing the three of them now was what to eat and drink in the future.
Wang Bu and Wen Shuying were only fifteen years old, not even adults yet, and they also had to take care of a little child, which naturally made things even more difficult.
