When Mei Chuanqi saw the boy reaching out his hand, he thought that the boy wanted to touch his head. He smiled and leaned forward, purposely lowering his height so that the boy could touch his head.
However, the little boy clawed at his face, laughing as he tore off his sunglasses.
Mei Chuanqi was startled, he quickly took back the sunglasses from the boy's hand and put them on.
When the little boy saw the "toy" that he had just obtained was taken away by someone, his small mouth was flattened. With a "wow" sound, he burst into tears, feeling extremely heartbroken.
Mei Chuanqi, "..."
Feng Jingteng, "..."
The little boy's mother quickly coaxed the child not to cry.
The surrounding crowd went silent for a moment. Then, someone whispered, "I feel that the man wearing sunglasses looks just like the deserter soldier from a year ago."
"I also think it looks like him, but wasn't he sentenced to three years in prison? It's only been a year, it can't be him, right? "
Someone retorted, "So what if you've been sentenced for three years? Won't he be commuted and released early? Also, he has a bald head, so he's obviously someone who just came out of prison. "
After hearing this person's words, everyone felt more and more that the person wearing sunglasses was the deserter from a year ago.
"Look at how he doesn't even refute our words, nor did he take off his sunglasses to prove that he isn't the person we were talking about. I dare to say that he is the deserter from one year ago, Mei Family's Eldest Young Master, Mei Chuanqi."
The scrutiny in the eyes of the crowd gradually turned into contempt, as if they were looking at a person who had committed an unforgivable sin.
Since he was recognized, Mei Chuanqi no longer planned to be a turtle who cowered and took off his sunglasses silently.
Instantly, the crowd was filled with curses.
"Pah! It really is that useless trash."
"Damn, it really is that coward."
"Why did you let him out so early? You're letting him off too easily. If I were a judge, he would have already been sentenced to a hundred years in prison."
"How come this coward didn't die in Black Prison!"
"I think that the reason he was able to come out of the Black Prison was because he had to sell his butt and be manipulated by the criminal. Only then would he be able to live well."
Everyone's words became more and more unpleasant to listen to.
Mei Chuanqi looked at all of their furious and disdainful faces, and frowned.
Facing the disdainful gazes and humiliating words of the crowd, it was impossible to say that he didn't care at all in his heart. However, reason was telling him that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't blame these people who didn't know the truth.
A strong hand rested on his shoulder.
Mei Chuanqi turned his head to look and saw Feng Jingteng's cold face, like an ice sculpture. His thin lips formed a straight line and his gloomy cold eyes contained rage, coldly sweeping over the crowd of people in front of his.
He was startled, and for a split-second, he felt that if Feng Jingteng wasn't a soldier, he would have charged forward and ruthlessly beat up the people surrounding him.
Feng Jingteng pulled him into his embrace, protected him with one hand and pushed the cart forward with the other.
At this moment, someone shouted, "We can't let this coward go so easily."
Someone immediately added, "That's right, we can't just let him go like this."
Everyone surrounded them, and then, someone threw an unknown object towards Mei Chuanqi.
Feng Jingteng's eyes trembled, he quickly raised his arm to block the object in front of Mei Chuanqi. Pa! The unknown object fell onto the ground, he lowered his head to look, and saw that it was a sign placed on top of the container.
He raised his eyes to look in the direction of the signboard. His cold and terrifying gaze caused the person standing in front of him to take a step back. A hint of fear appeared on his face.
The man who threw the sign swallowed and shouted, "Big..." "Everyone, don't be afraid. With so many of us, we won't be able to deal with the two of them."
As he said that, he picked up the thing beside him and threw it towards Mei Chuanqi and the others.
Everyone followed suit, picked up the things by their sides and threw them at Mei Chuanqi and the others, immediately, the scene became chaotic.
