Chapter 864 Picked Up

• The middle-aged man was surprised, then he scanned them. As if remembering something, he didn’t take their money. Instead, the man turned around and sat down on a staircase beside them. “Bro, that’s a lot of money. Why aren’t you taking it?” The scrawny man crouched before him. The middle-aged man said nothing. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up before puffing it.
• Hu Tu started getting nervous when he didn’t take their money. “Run, Yiyi!” Before Chen Yiyi could react, Hu Tu dragged her and ran toward the entrance of the alleyway. Wracked by her nerves, Chen Yiyi slipped not long after they ran, sending them tumbling down to the floor. Since Chen Yiyi was behind, she got dragged forward and crashed down on Hu Tu when they fell, causing the latter to scrape her face against the floor, sending a stab of pain down her face. Then, the sounds of footsteps reached them from behind. When Hu Tu turned around and saw that it was those men, her heart palpitated, then she moved backward in fear.
• “My daughter’s in high school too,” the middle-aged man suddenly said. Then, he puffed his cigarette and coughed violently. “Don’t be scared.” He then went back to the place where he sat.
