Now that gluttonous little fellow who loved candies had vanished from this world forever.
Even though the Taoist priest Su at Si Jiangchen's feet was now lying on the ground wailing like a spineless stray dog, the "Dongdong Gege" in Si Tong's mouth would never come back!!
"Mr. Si, you can't do this!"
Sun Liren had already pulled his wife and daughter to a safe place behind their group. Then he pointed at the Taoist priest Su on the ground and said, "He's a staff member of our Religious Affairs Bureau. He's on an official mission. How can you beat him for no reason?!"
After all, Taoist priest Su was ridding the world of evil. There was a ghost disturbing people in the restaurant, and it was his duty to catch and eliminate it.
Si Jiangchen had come and kicked the man without a word, which was unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.
Thinking like this, Sun Liren believed he was absolutely on the side of justice. Even the trouble his wife and daughter had caused Lin Tong earlier was because they had indulged the little ghost in hurting people!
"We're going to call the police!"
As he said this, he actually took out his phone.
"Call the police? You dare to call the police?!"
Before we could respond, the revolving door of the restaurant spun, and Ji Chen rushed in like a gust of wind. He stood in front of us and shouted at Sun Liren, "Are you only allowing your daughter to bully President Si's son? Only allowing you all to bully his fiancée and son for no reason when they're having a meal?"
As he said this, he raised the phone in his hand. "There's no need for you to pretend to uphold justice. We've already called the police. We'll retrieve the surveillance footage inside and outside the restaurant, even the kindergarten's surveillance, to see who's really bullying others for no reason."
"… Uh, Assistant Ji, you…"
Sun Liren never expected that Si Jiangchen's subordinate would appear so quickly!
Following his boss, it seemed like he had neatly sorted out all these trivial matters in an instant!
He had originally thought that those who had dealt with Si Jiangchen had exaggerated his methods too much! They said that whether in business or in daily affairs, he had extremely sharp foresight, almost like a god who could foresee the future!
Sun Liren had been a bit skeptical.
Until now! Until Ji Chen appeared in front of him, holding a series of evidence in his hand while he was still in the dark. Only then did he realize how formidable Si Jiangchen was.
"Ji Chen."
The smile on Si Jiangchen's face became even more aloof. He coldly glanced at the group of people on the steps. "Don't let any of those who were involved go."
As he said this, he reached out and put his arm around me, walking outside.
"Can't we stay?"
I covered my arm that was twisted at a strange angle and stared at Si Jiangchen with wide eyes.
"No."
Sure enough, Si Jiangchen wouldn't allow me to stay here to avenge the little ghost Dongdong.
I bit my lips desperately to keep the tears from flowing.
Si Jiangchen carried me into the car and placed me in the passenger seat. Si Tong scurried into the back seat on his short legs.
"You should think more carefully before doing things in the future."
Si Jiangchen ruffled my hair. "Everything has its cause and effect."
"…"
After hearing his words, I felt even more sad. Just as I lowered my head, I suddenly felt Si Jiangchen grab my arm and give it a hard pull and shake. There was a "click" sound, and the intense pain came again. Cold sweat and tears streamed down my face from the pain.
"Cry if you want."
Si Jiangchen straightened my twisted arm back to its original position and then started the car.
"Wuwuwu…"
I was in pain and filled with regret. Once the tears started flowing, I couldn't stop them. I covered my immobile arm and cried.
"Sister Xiaohe, I'm sorry… I'm sorry!"
Si Tong, who was sitting in the back seat, started crying too when he saw me sobbing loudly. While crying, he lay on the back of the seat and wiped the tears from my face with his little hands. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't quarreled with Wenwen, then Brother Dongdong wouldn't have died!"
In a child's mind, death was the most terrifying and painful thing in life. He didn't know that what was more terrifying than death was the complete annihilation of the soul, disappearing without a trace in the Three Realms and Six Paths.
"It's not your fault, Tongtong."
At this time, Si Jiangchen, who was driving the car, said calmly, "Everything is a person's fate. That little ghost had harmed many people before. He should have been exterminated by the Taoist priest long ago. This is his cycle of cause and effect. It's just that Xiaohe helped him delay it for so long."
As he said this, he turned his head and glanced at me. Seeing that I was still crying uncontrollably, he reached out and ruffled my hair. "Stop crying. Find some time to set up a memorial tablet for him in the underworld. That's your way of being worthy of him…"
I didn't know if what he said was meant to comfort me.
However, I knew that I would never be able to forgive that Taoist priest Su from the Qingcheng School, nor the Sun family!
No matter when, I was never the kind of person who would let things go easily. If someone bullied me, I would definitely return the favor doubly!!
Si Jiangchen took me to his private doctor. After taking an X-ray, it was found that the bone had been reset perfectly. I just needed to use a bandage and brace to fix it and wait for the bone to heal on its own.
The hot-melt PVC brace fit very well, but it took more time than the traditional plaster brace.
By the time everything was taken care of, it was already completely dark.
"Father Si, why don't you all come and stay at my place today…"
Si Tong's big eyes were a bit swollen from crying. It was already past his bedtime, and he was holding back his sleepiness as he took my uninjured hand and said a bit coquettishly, "Sister Xiaohe should come too."
"Be a good boy, Si Tong. Sister Xiaohe still has something to do tonight. You go back with your father."
I could clearly see Si Tong's disappointment. A child who had just lost his good friend who had shared hardships with him always wanted someone to accompany him.
However, I never really liked children, and I was the one directly responsible for "Dongdong" vanishing forever. If I didn't do something, the resentment in my heart would burn me to ashes!!
"Come back with us!"
Si Jiangchen naturally knew what was on my mind. He reached out and picked me up, stuffing me back into the car.
"What are you doing?!"
I bit my lips and glared at him fiercely. "I want to go home!"
"Go home for what?"
Si Jiangchen buckled me up with the seat belt and smoothed out my messy hair from struggling. He said in a low voice, "You've hurt your right hand. How can you take a shower, change clothes, and sleep when you get home?"
"I… Why can't I?!"
He made it sound like I had never been injured before. When had I ever been so delicate? It was just a fracture. Why couldn't I do things for myself?
"Sister Xiaohe, injured people are very vulnerable. You need someone to take care of you."
Si Tong also leaned over from the back seat and looked at me carefully. "Grandpa Du in your house is old. Do you have the heart to let an old man who just got out of the hospital take care of you?!"
