As they walked through, quite a few people cast curious glances at the two of them. Xiao Yifei pretended not to notice, but he was scared to death inside. He had watched so Arican TV series about prisons, where people fight without any reason. If they don’t like the look of you, they just co up and start a fight.
Xiao Yifei was terrified that such a thing would happen to him, it would be too unfair. He hadn’t even found Liu Rui yet, and he might end up dying here for no reason, with no one to even collect his body. His life would be too tragic that way, Xiao Yifei thought.
More importantly, the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle that he had been thinking about — he was about to see it soon. If he got beaten to death before that, he would die with regrets.
The little boy seed to have nothing to be afraid of, so Xiao Yifei asked him in a whisper, "Are you afraid that these people might hit you?"
"Of course not, they won’t just hit anyone. As long as you don’t look at them, there won’t be any issues," the little boy replied with insightful experience.
After walking for over three hours, Xiao Yifei and his companion finally arrived at the East District. There were no obvious signs marking the area, but upon entering, Xiao Yifei could clearly sense sothing different, like a chilling atmosphere. It was two o’clock in the afternoon, the sun at its fullest, yet Xiao Yifei felt a cold sweat trickle down his back.
The street was empty, yet Xiao Yifei felt sothing strange. He glanced at the little boy and noticed he seed a bit nervous too, so he gently patted his shoulder and signaled him with a look to stay calm.
The two of them continued walking ahead, and as they turned a street corner, they were suddenly confronted by a group of more than ten people forming a circle. Xiao Yifei wanted to pull the little boy aside to hide, but it was too late; those people had already spotted them. A voice shouted from that side, "Who’s there? Co out!"
Xiao Yifei and the little boy had no choice but to co out. It was then that Xiao Yifei realized the person in the middle of the circle was Liu Rui. Suddenly, he was no longer afraid, just surprised at how quickly the joy ca. He had thought he might find Liu Rui in this place but hadn’t expected it to be in this manner.
Liu Rui also saw Xiao Yifei.
At that mont, lots of thoughts raced through his mind. Why was Xiao Yifei here in this place? Shouldn’t he have reported to the police and be calmly waiting outside for them to take him out? How did he end up here as well? Could it be that he sneaked in?
Probably not. Given Xiao Yifei’s skill level, he wouldn’t have been able to get a card and crack the password to get in. It must have been the warden who let him in, Liu Rui thought. Xiao Yifei, why did you co here? Your presence is just adding trouble for ; I only needed to protect myself but now I have to constantly guard your safety too.
And who was that little boy next to Xiao Yifei? Could it be that his compassion got the better of him and he rescued a child from prison? Truly creating trouble for himself, Liu Rui thought with many questions in his mind.
Yet, Xiao Yifei wasn’t thinking so much. Upon seeing Liu Rui, he felt only joy and excitent. So even facing so many people now, he wasn’t the slightest bit afraid because Liu Rui was here. Considering how Liu Rui was a big shot outside, this small matter shouldn’t be a problem. Xiao Yifei sohow had an inexplicable confidence in Liu Rui.
Those people didn’t know where Xiao Yifei suddenly sprang from, so they didn’t dare to approach rashly. At this mont, Liu Rui gave Xiao Yifei a glance, signaling him to seize an opportunity to leave quickly.
Then Liu Rui suddenly launched an attack on the person closest to him, and that person imdiately fell after being struck in a vital spot, followed by another one.
Xiao Yifei saw what Liu Rui wanted to say, but he couldn’t just flee. He counted; there were eleven people in total in front of them. Now there were ten left, which shouldn’t be a problem. Thus, while those people’s attention was still focused on Liu Rui, he picked up a not-too-thick or thin twig from the ground.
Without making a sound, he walked toward the person closest to him. Liu Rui also noticed what Xiao Yifei was doing, unsure of what Xiao Yifei was up to. He knew Xiao Yifei, who was purely a dical student, and fighting was completely outside his expertise. Liu Rui watched carefully what Xiao Yifei was doing while dealing with the people on his own side.
Suddenly, he saw the person in front of Xiao Yifei silently collapse. It truly happened in a second; he hadn’t even seen how Xiao Yifei managed to knock the person out. Liu Rui was ready to save Xiao Yifei at any mont, but unexpectedly, he was much more formidable than he had thought.
One by one, the second and third person, too, quickly fell in front of Xiao Yifei, and this thod was faster than Liu Rui could take soone down. Yet, Liu Rui rembered investigating Xiao Yifei’s background before and hadn’t found any evidence of martial arts training. Could it be that Liu Rui practiced in secret?
Changing the angle, Liu Rui finally saw clearly how Xiao Yifei was doing it; he lightly tapped the person’s body with a stick, and down they went. Liu Rui understood, full of admiration for Xiao Yifei. This person was a true expert, defeating the enemy effortlessly.
In this way, Xiao Yifei easily took down several people. After Liu Rui also knocked down the ones in front of him, Xiao Yifei told Liu Rui, "Let’s hurry and retreat."
Saying this, Xiao Yifei pulled the little boy and Liu Rui along as they left. They ran to a safe area, and only after confirming that no one was pursuing them did they finally rest at ease.
Liu Rui now had tons of questions for Xiao Yifei, "How did you end up here?" That was the first question he asked.
"I ca to rescue you. I promised your grandpa to take good care of you. If sothing really happened to you, how would I explain it to your grandpa when I return? And seriously, how co after knocking out, you snuck in on your own?"
Xiao Yifei also had a ton of things he wanted to ask Liu Rui, but now there wasn’t the ti to sit down and talk. They could only briefly get their points across.
"What’s the deal with this little kid?" Liu Rui glanced at the boy and asked dismissively.
"He’s sick and needs the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle to be saved. I heard it’s with soone in the prison, supposedly a guy nad Bai Long. We asked around and heard he lives in the East District, so I brought him along."
Liu Rui could not comprehend Xiao Yifei’s overflow of compassion. The two of them were already outsiders in the prison, and safely getting out was already a challenging task, but now they even brought along a sick kid, making it much harder.
The little boy also sensed so hostility from Liu Rui’s question, but he also noticed this person seed quite formidable, and the uncle in front of him seed a bit afraid of this man, so he didn’t dare to say anything, just stood quietly to the side. From the conversation between the two, he roughly understood that this uncle was here to rescue the person in front of him.
