NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: Chapter 7. It's your words. No backing out
"no!"
Facing Ma Ge's aggressive questioning, Zhou Yi firmly refused.
Ma Ge's temper flared up immediately.
Hey, after asking for a long time without getting any useful information, it was just a waste of time.
Ma Ge knew clearly in his heart that the old man must be teasing them!
He had been domineering on this street for many years, and had never suffered such disrespect. Nobody had ever dared to treat him like this!
Humph, he had to teach this old man a lesson today!
"Old codger!"
Ma Ge shouted at the top of his lungs and grabbed Zhou Yi by the collar.
"Are you deliberately making fun of us?"
"Let me tell you, I'm the boss of this street. Many people offer me cigarettes when they see me. Are you tired of living, you old bones?"
"Hurry up and tell me the truth. Has a young and beautiful girl been here?"
"If you don't tell the truth, be careful I send you to the hospital!"
Inside the room, Lin Wanru's heart was in her throat.
Oh no, this old man is about to be beaten!
Although this old man is really annoying and also...
However, on the other hand, it's not entirely his fault.
Besides, at his age, if he really gets beaten, he might fall apart.
He's over eighty years old. If he gets beaten, he probably won't survive long even if he's sent to the hospital!
What's more, if the old man is beaten, there's no one to stop those people outside.
They might rush in and search the room!
"What should I do?"
Just as Lin Wanru was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, there was a sudden change outside.
Zhou Yi covered his chest with a painful expression, shouting loudly, "Ouch! My chest hurts! It hurts so much!"
Well, you have to admit that Zhou Yi has some acting talent.
Having lived for so many years, although he has never done the thing of faking an injury by throwing himself at someone's car, he has seen it before, so he knows how to act.
In the eyes of Ma Ge and his gang of hooligans, Zhou Yi looked exactly like he was really in pain.
It seemed like he was about to die in the next second.
Not to mention those small - time thugs, even Ma Ge felt a little scared.
Oh my god, don't let this old man really die at his hands!
That would be a big trouble!
Ma Ge quickly let go, and saw Zhou Yi collapse onto the ground with a "plop", twitching from time to time and foaming at the mouth.
Oh, that scene was really scary.
A few hooligans beside him were so frightened that their faces turned pale: "Brother Ma, what should we do?"
Ma Ge gritted his teeth: "What else can we do? Run!"
"Don't let this old man really die in our hands. Even if we have someone protecting us, we'll still get into a lot of trouble. Let's go!"
"Hey! Brother Ma, don't go that way. There's a surveillance camera over there!"
"Right, right. I'm so angry with this old man that I'm confused. Let's go this way!"
After that, these guys ran away like rabbits.
Only Zhou Yi was left lying on the ground.
Guessing that the hooligans had run far away, Lin Wanru quickly rushed out and held Zhou Yi.
"Old grandpa, how are you?"
However, no matter how she shook him, Zhou Yi was like he was asleep and didn't respond at all.
This made Lin Wanru extremely worried.
Although this old man really made her angry.
But...
She couldn't just watch him die, could she?
At this moment, Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Zhou Yi wake up, Lin Wanru was both excited and a little flustered.
"Old grandpa, are you... okay?"
Zhou Yi looked very weak, but still forced himself to speak.
"Girl, I know I'm wrong."
"I'm an old man on the verge of death. Don't worry about me, run away quickly."
"Oh, by the way, before I die, I have a wish. I want to ask for your forgiveness for what happened just now. I'm sorry to you..."
Hey, as the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are kind.
Looking at Zhou Yi's pitiful appearance, Lin Wanru's sense of pity emerged.
However, she still had a little difficulty getting over that hurdle in her heart.
Seeing Lin Wanru hesitate, Zhou Yi sighed: "Forget it, girl. I won't force you to forgive me."
"Let me take this guilt and leave this world..."
"No!" Lin Wanru immediately became anxious.
She made up her mind and gritted her teeth.
"I, I forgive you, old grandpa. I forgive you..."
"You can... rest in peace..."
Just as Lin Wanru closed her eyes and was about to cry.
Suddenly, there was a loud laugh.
"Ha! You said it!"
