When they entered the room, they saw Chang Ying pressing a thug-like person to the ground. The thug nicknamed “Goldie” was gritting his teeth and begging for mercy. The few thugs beside him were like sitting ducks, not daring to move. 

“Chang, c’mon, please spare my life. Let’s talk it out.” 

Chang Ying pressed the person’s head to the ground again and cursed, “Something happened to my sister in your territory. Don’t you dare say you don’t know about it! I’ll cut off your ears!” 

They knew Chang Ying’s “sister”. She often hung out with Chang Ying in this area. She had a bad temper and was fierce in fights. They did not dare provoke her. 

“This is just a misunderstanding, Chang! It’s a huge misunderstanding!” 

Chang Ying did not waste any more time with him. He took out a small knife from his pocket and pressed the blade against Goldie’s ear. Traces of red blood seeped out. 

Then, the yellow-haired man shouted, “I remember! I remember!” 

Only then did Chang Ying release him and wait for him to speak properly. 

The yellow-haired man immediately moved two meters away from Chang Ying and said hesitantly, “Chang, please, whatever I say, don’t expose me. Otherwise, I will be beaten to death by Niu.” 

Niu was the leader of the gangsters in this area. The gangsters would go after the nearby residents to collect protection fees, so Niu would look for more gangsters to do the collection of the protection fees and earn even more. 

“En, alright, speak clearly.” Chang Ying nodded and pulled Han Xiang over. He held the billiard table with one hand and glared at the yellow-haired guy. 

The yellow-haired guy shrank back and said, “It’s Niu… last time, Niu told us to pay attention to your sister’s movements. He said that once he saw her appear in the vicinity alone, he would tell him the news… and then…” 

Then, Goldie was punched in the face, and his whole body fell to the ground. 

He immediately cried out, “Chang, I was brainwashed by Niu! When I saw that your sister was taken away, I regretted it, but I didn’t dare call the police!” 

Was it Niu who ordered it? Now that they had found a clue, the two had an idea. But before he left, Chang Ying still beat up all the gangsters present and said harshly, “If you dare have any ideas about my sister again, I’ll make sure none of you get out alive.” 

Looking at Chang Ying’s violent outbursts, Han Xiang finally understood where the original protagonist learned her fighting skills from. She did not know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. 

However, according to Chang Ying, Niu was different from the thugs who committed many evil deeds. He was the type to seem strait-laced on the outside, but was evil on the inside, aka a “dignified sewer rat”. 

Niu usually ran a barbecue grill. He was cheerful and straightforward, and he chatted a lot with the nearby residents. Everyone was willing to patronize his business, but the residents did not know that… Niu was the mastermind behind the operation that instructed the gangsters to harass the residents and collect protection fees. 

If they attacked him, the repercussions would not be easy to handle. 

However, Han Xiang had an idea. What was a dignified sewer rat most afraid of? 

Therefore, she called her eldest brother, Han Yuan, and told him about this matter. Han Yuan quickly agreed and said that he would come over in twenty minutes and asked Han Xiang to wait for him. 

Chang Ying was very surprised to hear Han Xiang acting coquettishly and aggrievedly on the phone. “Ms. Ma’am, aren’t you not on good terms with your brothers at home?” 

“Oh, about that. Once our misunderstandings were resolved, our relationship got be better. This is my oldest brother, Han Yuan.” It was hard to say how much effort Han Xiang had put into improving the relationship, so Han Xiang could only play it by ear. 

Very soon, Han Yuan arrived in his car. This time, he was driving a Volkswagen and was very low-key. Han Xiang almost did not realize that he had arrived. Suddenly, she realized that there was a person standing behind her. Only then did she realize that this was the Han family’s oldest son. 

“Ah! You scared me to death. Big brother, are you a spy?” Han Xiang was shocked and patted her chest. 

“Haha.” Han Yuan was a little embarrassed and scratched his head. 

After listening to Han Xiang’s story, Han Yuan nodded and had an idea of what to do. 

Then, he told the two of them to find a place to rest and he would handle it. After all, it was not easy for the two of them to show up. However, under Han Xiang’s strong request, he agreed and the two of them could watch from afar. 

When they came to Niu’s barbeque grill, the sign at the front of the grill said it was open. Han Xiang and Chang Ying chose a plastic chair each at the door and sat down, waiting for the show to start. 

Niu was not in the grill, so he was probably in the kitchen. Seeing Han Yuan walk over step by step, Han Xiang had an inexplicable trust in him, and she could not help but shake her feet. 

Chang Ying looked at the little girl and was a little jealous. He deliberately asked, “Hey, who do you think is more handsome, me or your brother?” 

Han Yuan was already 23 years old. In terms of actual military service, he had already served for five years, not to mention that he had received military training since he was young. Clearly, he was more manly than Chang Ying, who had just turned 18. 

Therefore, Han Xiang rolled her eyes and ignored him. 

“Don’t be childish,” Han Xiang said with a scoff. 

Being called childish by a 12-year-old girl, made Chang Ying feel a little ashamed, so he quieted down to watch Han Yuan operate. 

Han Yuan shouted a few times, and a fat man with big ears walked out of the kitchen and chatted with Han Yuan for a while. Then, Han Yuan took something out of his shirt pocket. Niu turned around and wanted to run, but was immediately subdued by Han Yuan and he fell to the ground..
