Chapter 36 - The Mafia King Is Here!
On Lihua's side, the principal felt exhausted, but he couldn't do anything to help her. He tried to convince but to no avail.
Lihua pursed her lips. "I will come with you. I am innocent so I have nothing to be afraid of," she eyed the Lu couple dangerously. "I was at my home the entire time."
They didn't care.
"Who knows if you hired some goon? You being at home doesn't prove anything."
Mr. Lu said indignantly. "Please take her away."
Mrs. Lu sobbed. "I don't care how much you torture her. Just make her spit out where my daughter is!"
Meng Ya was itching to pull that woman's hair out and make her scream in pain.
Just as Lihua was about to go with the officer, she heard four distinct voices calling out to her.
"Miss Lihua!"
Mo Huojin, who was about to approach her, stopped in his steps. He narrowed his eyes.
Where did these people come from?
He quietly stepped aside.
The four thugs ran towards her and suddenly dropped on their knees and elbows, fully bowing with their heads down in front of her.
Lihua was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.
Who are these people?
"Miss Lihua. Thank you so much! You showed us the way!"
She was speechless.
"Ha? Who are-"
"Miss Lihua, what a coincidence! We were just talking about your greatness and then we saw you!"
The second thug joined in. "If not for you, then we would have never got to know the light!"
The third thug chimed in. "You are a Goddess!"
Lihua and Meng Ya exchanged speechless glances. "Lihua... you know them?" She whispered.
"No. Of course not."
The officer-in-charge furrowed his brows for a moment, but his eyes widened in realization a second later. "You four! You four are wanted criminals."
They gulped in fear. As expected, the cop had recognized them.
The fourth thug who had recognized Lihua first sobbed. "We 'were' criminals. That is in the past. But now we are changed people!"
The other three nodded. Before they ran up to her, they had already mingled in the crowd and got to know the situation about the false accusation of Lu Jie's disappearance on her.
The first thug raised his head and looked at her gratefully. "Miss Lihua, you remember us, right? The day before we tried to rob you, but you beat the shit out of us!"
The third thug added. "You made us kneel and lectured us for three hours! You changed our hearts!"
"Thank you Miss Lihua! You-you were so gracious. Not only you showed us the way, but you also forgave us. We are indebted to you."
Lihua had no idea why these goons were suddenly thanking her.
When was I robbed? When did I fight? I don't know how to fight a single man and they claim I defeated all four of them? And they even know my name!
Meng Ya was speechless. "Lihua, you are incredible. Why did you hide your skills from me?"
Lihua said, "W-wait, I don't-"
They panicked.
"Miss Lihua, it's understandable that you would have forgotten about us. Just like us, there would be so many people like us walking on the wrong path that you have guided them to the right way. How can you remember all of them?"
The second thug said, "But we will never forget you! How can we forget the Ludo Lady! We had played Ludo together later!"
"..."
Ludo...lady?
"And you won every time! As expected of our Goddess!"
She played Ludo with Chang Fang yesterday, not with them the day before.
Meng Ya speechlessly said, "Do you like playing Ludo with thugs so much? Yesterday that leader and now these four…"
She furiously shook her head. "No No! I am not understanding-"
The officer interrupted. "Hold on. What's going on? You said the day before?" He carefully glanced at Lihua and then looked at them. "You say that she was with you?"
They nodded hard.
"Of course!"
The elder Lu couple was aghast. Even Lihua had the same reaction.
But I was at home!
"After Miss Lihua made us realize the error in our ways, we also played Ludo as a sign of friendship!"
"When we saw you arresting her, we were shocked. How could you arrest our Goddess Lihua!?"
"We are the evidence!"
The officer looked at Lihua with incredibility written all over his face.
Did this young woman change the hearts of four wanted criminals?
"We swear at the honor of our changed hearts, Miss Lihua was with us. How can she be somewhere else and kidnap a woman?"
Mrs. Lu stammered. "W-wait. They are lying! They must be the same goons she hired to harm my Jie and now they are spinning these lies to save her!"
The four thugs turned cold and their eyes dangerously glinted at her.
The Lu couple jolted in fear.
Insulting our Mafia King's woman? How dare you?
The first thug said, "It is impossible for Miss Lihua to hire us. Even if we were thugs before, bribing us was very expensive. We charged high fees."
The third thug said, "And Miss Lihua is really poor."
The fourth thug nodded. "So she cannot afford us."
!!!
Lihua had no words to say. She wanted to shed a fountain of tears.
Why am I feeling that I hear this every single day? I am not poor!
Meng Ya almost burst into laughter, but she quickly cleared her throat.
She said, "Please get up. L-look. There is some misunderstanding. I really-"
The four thugs banged their heads on the ground. "Miss Lihua. Please accept our humblest thank you. We offer you our loyalty until our last breaths!"
Lihua was horrified. Just like Wei, they suddenly banged their heads on the ground. "Stop!"
The students murmured.
"I didn't know Lihua was so amazing."
"She tamed four dangerous thugs."
"And she is dating CEO Jiang!"
They saw her in a new light.
We were so wrong about Song Lihua!
The principal patted her shoulder. "I am proud of you, Song Lihua. I am glad you are a student at my college."
Lihua lacked tears to shed. Everything is a big misunderstanding!
The officer said, "Mr. Lu. Mrs. Lu. I think they are saying the truth. The whole police force knows them. They are a notorious gang of wanted thugs. They wouldn't show themselves and defend anybody like that if it isn't the truth, especially when the cops are present here."
Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth. "But-but! My daughter! She is the only one-"
Her words got cut off as a royal Porsche stopped in front of them. As the door opened, the four thugs trembled and shuddered at their place.
T-the Mafia King is here!
