The cowboy was not alone. He had accomplices.
While he was yelling for compensation, two burly men, who were obviously not good people, appeared on the left and right of the woman in the long dress and stared at her.
The onlookers did not know the woman in the long dress. Who would want to get into trouble for her?
Such a thing should have been handled by the patrol police, but there were no police officers around at all.
Some people recognized the cowboy and looked at the woman in the long dress with a trace of sympathy.
This person was being targeted by someone!
The woman's IQ was not low. She immediately realized that something was wrong with the situation, so she swallowed her anger and asked, "How much do you want?"
The cowboy showed a proud look, raised a finger and said, "One million dollars."
One million dollars!
The woman in the long dress opened her eyes wide in shock. She couldn't believe her ears.
The other party was obviously trying to scam her, and his method was so clumsy. She thought that the other party would at most ask for a few hundred or a thousand dollars, and she would just treat it as a loss.
She never expected that the cowboy would ask for one million dollars. It was not enough to describe it as an exorbitant price!
"I'm going to call the police!"
How could the woman in the long dress agree to such an outrageous condition? She quickly took out her mobile phone from her bag.
"Call the police?"
The cowboy was quick. He grabbed the other party's mobile phone and shouted, "Call the police? Go to the police station with me!"
As he said that, he reached out to grab the woman in the long dress.
The woman in the long dress hurriedly dodged. "What do you want to do?"
She knew very well that it was impossible for the other party to take her to the police station. She was in a very dangerous situation.
In broad daylight, in front of so many people, the other party was so unscrupulous, which made her feel desperate!
Were there no good people in the world?
"Let's see where you can run to!"
A burly man blocked the way of the woman in the long dress. The cowboy took the opportunity to take a step forward and attack again.
However, the claw that he had just extended was instantly grabbed by a powerful hand.
The one who attacked was Zuo Yi!
He had done similar things many times when he saw injustice. The increase of the power of faith came from the accumulation of the usual little by little.
In fact, even if there was no factor of faith, Zuo Yi would not stand by and do nothing.
Crack!
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the cowboy let out an earth-shattering scream: "Ah ~"
As soon as Zuo Yi made a move, he was in trouble. The bones in his hand were crushed into pieces.
"Let go!"
A burly man next to him roared and threw a heavy punch at Zuo Yi. The punch was powerful and heavy.
Bang!
Before his fist hit Zuo Yi, it collided with Zuo Yi's fist.
The burly man's face instantly twisted. It was as if his balls in his pants had been ruthlessly kicked. The level of pain reached its peak.
He hugged his arms and staggered back, his face full of fear and tears.
This burly man was taller than Zuo Yi, and his physique was also much stronger. However, the exchange of fists between the two ended with the burly man's crushing defeat.
The other burly man saw that the situation was not good and quickly pulled the cowboy and his companion to escape.
Against a tough guy like Zuo Yi, they were obviously no match for him.
"Your cell phone."
Zuo Yi handed the cell phone back to the woman in the long dress. He had just taken it back from the cowboy.
"Thank you."
The woman in the long dress was extremely grateful. She really wanted to repay him with her body.
But the next moment, she looked at Zuo Yi and was stunned. She said involuntarily, "Zuo Yi!?"
She spoke in Chinese.
Zuo Yi's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know me?"
The woman in the long dress was in her twenties. She had willow-shaped eyebrows, an oval face, snow-white skin, and a pretty face. Especially her pair of eyes, she was lovely and moving. She could be considered a beauty.
However, Zuo Yi had no impression of her. He did not remember where he had seen her.
Moreover, this woman in the long dress was not an Extraordinary. There was no supernatural fluctuation on her body.
However, her voice was a little familiar.
"It's really you!"
To Zuo Yi's surprise, the woman in the long dress immediately grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Why are you here? Where is Bo 'er now?"
'Bo' er! '
A thought flashed through Zuo Yi's mind. "You're So Wan Qing!"
The woman in the long dress' words and reaction made him understand immediately. It was no wonder he found her voice a little familiar.
It was truly a case of traveling far and wide in search of something only to find it by chance!
The woman in the long dress, So Wan Qing, bit her lip and nodded.
At this moment, an old man came over and whispered, "Young man, you should leave quickly. Those people from earlier are from the Black Shark Gang. Even the police can't afford to offend them."
Although Zuo Yi looked very powerful, no matter how powerful he was, could he be more powerful than a gun?
The Black Shark Gang was not only rich and powerful, but they also had influence in both the legal and illegal areas. It was very normal for them to have firearms.
After saying that, the kind-hearted old man left in a hurry.
"Let's find a place to talk!"
Zuo Yi did not care about the Black Shark Gang or the White Shark Gang. However, there were too many people around, so it was not a good place to talk.
He pulled So Wan Qing and left the open-air market.
They found a teahouse not far from the market and Zuo Yi asked for a private room. After ordering tea and closing the door, the two started a new conversation.
To be honest, at this moment, Zuo Yi's heart was far from as calm as it looked on the surface.
After taking Bao'er back, Zuo Yi had been trying to find the whereabouts of the little girl's biological mother. The only clue was this Aunt Qing who had taken care of Bao'er for four years.
However, So Wan Qing had already left the country, so the clues were cut off.
On New Year's Eve this year, So Wan Qing had called Zuo Yi, but the conversation ended after a few words, not giving Zuo Yi a chance to ask about the truth.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that he would meet Su Wan Qing in Maina Dormont!
Under Zuo Yi's gaze, So Wan Qing asked timidly, "Is Bao'er okay?"
"She's fine."
Zuo Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at the teacup in front of him, "She's also safe. You don't have to worry."
After a pause, he continued, "Miss Su, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Although Zuo Yi was happy to have a sweet "burden" like Bao'er, he was very dissatisfied with So Wan Qing's behavior of "pushing the responsibility" to him. If he did not return to Bluestar, the little girl would have fallen into a welfare organization and then been adopted by a family.
What happened that made So Wan Qing ignore Bao'er like this?
"My surname is not Su …"
So Wan Qing smiled bitterly, "So Wan Qing is my fake name. My real name is Chen Wan."
"I really don't want to leave Bao'er, because in my heart, she is like my biological daughter, but for her safety, I have to leave Da Xia, otherwise I will hurt her!"
Zuo Yi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who is Bao'er's mother?"
