With all her might, Xun Er's cry seemed to drain her entire strength, her voice growing shrill. This startled Luo Qinghan, and Lin Xiao, who had been preparing to discipline the bothersome young boys, changed his mind.
He reached out to stop Luo Qinghan, who was about to step forward, and said softly, "No rush."
Since Xun Er now had backing, it was the perfect opportunity to leave these little rascals with a memory of fear that would last forever.
Xun Er's shout startled the young boys. Following that, they erupted into uproarious laughter, their mirth unrestrained and clearly indicative of their usual behavior. They paid no mind to Luo Qinghan or the couple, Luo Buyu, standing nearby. As for Lin Xiao, whom they had never seen before, he was even less significant. In their eyes, an unfamiliar person was equivalent to no threat.
"Alright, alright, your dad's back, mine's here every day," the lead boy said, completely unfazed. He pointed his toy gun at Xun Er, "Come, play with us."
Xun Er glanced at her father, seemingly waiting for Lin Xiao to tell her what to do. She was one or two years younger than these boys and had always been bullied by them, unable to fight back. Furthermore, apart from her mother and maternal grandmother, no one else in the family helped her.
Now that Father was back...
Gritting her teeth, she nodded. As she took a step forward, she still appeared somewhat timid.
"Wait a moment," Lin Xiao said, producing a handgun as if by magic and placing it in the little girl's hand. "They all have one, so you should too."
From a distance, Ye Chen, witnessing this scene, almost choked on his own saliva.
"What is it?"
"Quick, go buy toy guns!" Ye Chen immediately instructed his companion, "Brother Xiao is giving Xun Er a handgun!"
"Playing with a handgun?"
"A real gun!"
"...Immediately!"
The other person beside him dashed off swiftly. This was an emergency!
Setting aside the possibility of accidental discharge and injury if the safety was disengaged, the recoil alone could injure Xun Er, a child.
Could Brother Xiao actually be planning to get rid of those detestable brats?
Thinking it was Brother Xiao, perhaps it was indeed possible!
Seeing Lin Xiao place a handgun in Xun Er's hand, the boys, holding their own massive toy guns, mocked her. "Look, my dad bought this for me, an M4A1! It's super powerful and can fire in bursts. How can your little handgun compare to mine?"
"My dad gave this to me! It's super powerful!" Xun Er held the toy gun with both hands. It felt a little heavy, but the thought that her father had given it to her filled her with immense confidence. She then raised the gun with both hands, aiming at the boys.
At this moment, Lin Xiao glanced in a particular direction.
Just this brief glance made Ye Chen, hiding in the distance, feel his heart rate subtly decrease.
This was Brother Xiao giving a death order!
How could he dare to loiter and spy any longer? He quickly went to find toy guns. If he was too slow, it would all be too late!
"Your dad? Could it be him!" These boys were clearly accustomed to fearing nothing. After all, this entire area belonged to the Luo family, and naturally, no one dared to reprimand them. The Luo family was, after all, a family of some standing in Shashi.
