The man was trembling as he spoke , “Brother, dear brother, I was wrong. Please let me go this once…”
He Jingsi pressed the knife forward with cold eyes. Just as he was about to thrust the knife in, his eyes suddenly paused in surprise.
He felt a hand on his large hand, and the blood relation stirred again. He Jingsi looked down at He Xuan standing beside him. Their eyes shared a similar emotion, both stubborn and unwilling to yield.
The two of them stared at each other, neither willing to back down first.
Seeing this, the man quickly swallowed and tried to leave.
He Jingsi shifted his gaze away from He Xuan, moved swiftly, and kicked the man’s knee. As the man attempted to retreat, He Jingsi seized the moment and aimed his dagger beside the man’s head. The precision of his calculation and prediction even made He Xuan squint to observe closely.
He An held a candied hawthorn on a stick. But unlike He Xuan, his small body stood nervously in place and not moving forward.
Although he liked the man in front of him very much, Fu Yuling had said that he shouldn’t follow strangers.
So, he couldn’t go over. He couldn’t walk away with someone else.
He Jingsi restrained the man and immediately put away his dagger decisively.
The man was now really frightened. He couldn’t even speak and could only take steps back.
“Kid, come here.”
He Jingsi didn’t look at the man on the ground but turned to wave at He Xuan.
He Xuan was a bit confused but still silently walked over.
“I have a name, I’m not a kid!”
For some reason, He Xuan felt the urge to emphasize this point in front of this person.
He Jingsi chuckled, dispersing the originally serious atmosphere.
“Got it,” he paused, “Kid.”
“You’re the kid, your whole family are kids!”
He Jingsi thought for a moment and realized that aside from Fu Yuling, his family was indeed all kids.
So he replied, “My family is indeed all kids.”
“…”
He Xuan didn’t know what to say, but upon hearing that the other person had kids at home, he suddenly felt sad.
He just said “Oh,” and didn’t continue.
Although He Jingsi sensed his emotional change, he didn’t understand why.
Just as he intended to probe deeper, He Xuan looked at the man. “What do you want with me?”
“How do you want to deal with this?”
He Xuan bit his lip. He originally planned to tease this man and then repay him the way he was treated.
However, he didn’t want to leave a bad impression in front of the man, so he lowered his gaze to hide his thoughts.
“Call the police.”
He Jingsi was somewhat surprised. Just a moment ago, their reactions didn’t seem like they would let the man off, especially when the little guy He An took something out in his hand. This was also the reason he wanted to leave the man to them for handling.
Thinking of something unknown, He Jingsi nodded.
Now that there was no one following him, he found a rope and secured it before he began to tie the man up tightly and tossed him into an inconspicuous corner.
He Xuan took a glance and asked, “Are you sure he won’t run away?”
He Jingsi’s expression was ambiguous, “He can try.”
Upon hearing this, the man who was struggling suddenly didn’t dare to move recklessly.
