Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Compensation Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Compensation These young punks were the local troublemakers who liked to stir up trouble.
Actually, they were carrying a phone that was already broken and targeted those who looked more honest to extort money.
Huang Long, the unlucky one, had the âhonorâ of becoming their target.
Though Huang Long was not highly educated and had spent most of his life in the countryside, he was a straightforward person.
The opponentsâ phone wasnât knocked to the ground by him but deliberately smashed, and he was sure of it.
So when they falsely accused him of dropping the phone and demanded compensation, he argued steadfastly, refusing to admit that he had bumped into them or broken their phone.
His steadfast argument made the young punks furious, and they insisted he pay them.
Huang Long certainly wasnât going to comply, especially since he was poor, and he flatly refused to compensate.
As a result, the young punks started beating him.
Huang Long was a hot-tempered man, and years of labor in the fields had given him significant strength.
A slight disability in his leg did not affect his ability to fight, and the punks hadnât expected a rural farmer to be so strong, and they took a beating.
Huang Long was also quick-witted and called Huang Chen when the punks briefly backed off.
Before he could finish the call, his old phone was kicked away by a thug.
The punks attacked from several directions.
Lacking fighting skills, Huang Long was ultimately overpowered and knocked to the ground by the thugs.
âDamn it, how dare you hit me,â grunted a punk who Huang Long had kicked, and after falling, he stomped on Huang Long and cursed, âYou should ask around who we are before causing trouble on our turf, youâve got some nerve.â
Enraged, Huang Long grabbed the thugâs foot with all his strength, causing the thug to be flipped to the ground.
Seeing Huang Long still resisting fiercely, the other thugs grew even more enraged and rushed to punch and kick him.
Once again Huang Long was kicked to the ground, got up after taking several blows.
His phone was also smashed to pieces by the thugs.
âAct tough now, act tough,â said the humiliated thug, kicking Huang Longâs feet fiercely and shouting, âDare to hit us? Weâll kill you.â
Another thug stepped on Huang Longâs face and ground his boot tip into it, while a third one stepped on Huang Longâs hand. Another thug stood on his back, making it impossible for him to get up.
Poor Huang Long, pinned to the ground by four thugs, struggled desperately but couldnât get up.
His palm turned dark and swollen from being stepped on, and his face was bloody.
The leg with a slight disability was twisted in pain from the thugâs brutal kicks.
Bystanders passing by saw this and kept their distance, none daring to intervene.
Many people knew these thugs and had seen them bullying others before; they avoided them and certainly didnât dare to meddle.
After pinning Huang Long underfoot, the thugs went from seeking revenge to mocking him.
Not only did they smash Huang Longâs old phone, but they also searched him and took the two thousand yuan he had on him.
Luo Ziling had Yang Xiaodong send out ten thousand yuan, but he didnât dare to bring it out, hiding it under his pillow. He only carried two thousand yuan given to him by Huang Chen and several hundred yuan he had brought from home and saved after expenses.
Almost two thousand five hundred yuan, all taken by several thugs.
After finding this money on Huang Long, the thugs were not satisfied and continued to torment the poor Huang Long.
But just as they were recklessly mocking Huang Long, who was pinned to the ground, suddenly someone rushed over swiftly, jumped up, and kicked the thug who was stepping on Huang Longâs face, sending him flying through the air.
The thug screamed and flew several meters away, crashing heavily onto the road.
The other thugs hadnât even reacted when one by one, they too were kicked far away.
A young man who had run from behind quickly came forward to help Huang Long who couldnât get up.
The rescuers were none other than Luo Ziling and Yang Xiaodong.
Yang Xiaodong, who was driving, kicked the thugs away even before Luo Ziling, who was sitting in the back, could react. Before the car even came to a complete stop, he had unbuckled his seatbelt, pulled up the handbrake, and kicked out of the car, launching the thugs into the air without saying a word.
By the time Luo Ziling got out of the car slightly later, the thugs had already been sent flying by Yang Xiaodong.
The thugs, deep in their mischief, couldnât believe someone unexpectedly came to disrupt their fun and kicked them away.
After screaming and flying a distance, the thugs struggled to get up from the ground and gathered around again, cursing loudly.
âFuck you, motherfucker,â the leading thug pointed at Yang Xiaodong, âWhat the hell are you, daring to mess with us!â
âTake him down,â another thug, grabbing a wooden stick that supported a street tree from the roadside, charged towards Yang Xiaodong.
Yang Xiaodong didnât give them a chance to get close and took the initiative to confront them, knocking all four thugs to the ground once again.
This time, he hit them harder, and after being knocked down, the four thugs couldnât get up at all.
Yang Xiaodong then dragged the four thugs, who were gasping on the ground like dead dogs, and threw them in front of Luo Ziling and Huang Long.
Yang Qingyin also got out of the car, quietly standing by with Ye Xiaoli who had followed them.
After Luo Ziling helped Huang Long up, he checked him for any severe injuries, and upon finding none, he too breathed a sigh of relief.
âWhat happened?â Luo Ziling asked Huang Long, frowning.
In an angry voice, Huang Long recounted what had happened.
Upon hearing that Huang Longâs money had been taken by the thugs, Luo Ziling immediately ordered Yang Xiaodong to retrieve the stolen money.
Pointing at a pile of phone fragments on the ground, Huang Long said sadly, âThey smashed my phone.â
âThen compensate,â Luo Ziling said coldly with a smirk, âand you owe for his injuries too.â
Yang Xiaodong grabbed a thug, saying fiercely, âDid you hear that? Pay up, weâre not asking for much, just a hundred thousand!â
âA hundred thousand?â The thug was shocked.
Damn, a robbery!
But these guys were too formidable, and they didnât dare to argue.
Just then, a voice came from afar, âWho dares to be so arrogant here?â
Hearing this voice, the thugs were instantly delighted.
