Chapter 97 True Love
"Don't panic, don't panic, let's think of a way."
The fourth brother's voice was trembling with tears, but he still tried his best to remain calm.
"My brother was just taken inside; it doesn't necessarily mean he's really in trouble."
"The most urgent task is to figure out why our eldest brother was taken away!"
The more Lao Si thought about it, the more confused he became.
She had a million possibilities in her mind, but none of them could help her save Ying Ziping.
"Clap."
Her tears fell involuntarily.
"elder sister?"
The ninth and tenth brothers were still not quite clear about what was happening; they just stared blankly at the chaotic scene before them.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the dilapidated house.
A sense of foreboding welled up in the second brother's heart, and he instantly became alert:
"Take the ninth and tenth brothers with you first!"
However, it was too late.
Several men dressed in black with stern faces appeared at the door, their eyes exuding an undeniable air of authority.
"Does anyone know Ying Ziping?" one of them asked.
The fifth brother was carrying the ninth and tenth brothers to the window when he saw so many people at the door and immediately stopped.
No matter how well he concealed himself, it was impossible for him to escape with two children in front of so many people.
"I know him, he's my brother, so what?"
Seeing that no one was speaking inside, the third brother bent down, picked up his cane, and went over.
His voice trembled slightly, but remained firm.
The man in black nodded and spoke to the third brother:
"He stole something from a big shot, committed a crime, and is about to be sentenced."
These words pierced the hearts of several children like an icicle.
how come……
"What? Big brother, that's impossible... He couldn't have done such a thing!"
Old Nine was the first to cry.
"That bag! It's that bag!"
A sudden inspiration struck the fourth sister, and she screamed.
"My brother didn't steal that bag! Someone gave it to him and asked him to deliver it!"
"Think about it, why would he go there himself to be caught after stealing something?"
"My brother is innocent! He is innocent!"
The second brother stood there, neither pleading nor speaking, but simply watching everything coldly.
He had realized that this was a conspiracy.
But for some reason, they targeted Ying Ziping.
What's the point of targeting these homeless children?
No, perhaps we don't need to target them; we just need to make them take the blame.
Faced with the scene of wailing and lamentation before him, the man in black continued expressionlessly:
“We adults are kind-hearted and allowed Ying Ziping’s family to see him one last time before he went to jail.”
"However, those who choose to go will have to endure ten strokes of the cane before they can see Ying Ziping."
Another man in black added from the side.
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly upon hearing this.
The siblings looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
But if I could really see my brother...
"I'll go!" The second brother gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
No matter the risks, it would all be worth it if I could see my brother one more time.
"I'm going too!" the fourth brother followed closely behind.
"I!"
"I also!"
The people inside the room all expressed their desire to go.
However, when the ninth and tenth brothers spoke, the fourth brother looked up and asked the man in black:
"Can I take their board?"
“They are too young. Ten strokes of the cane would kill them.”
The fourth brother naturally didn't want them to get punished.
But if this were truly her eldest brother's last moment, she didn't want to deprive the two little ones of their desire to see him.
"And me, the three of us big kids will take the beatings for them. Please, have mercy and don't hit them."
The third brother also stepped forward.
"We have no authority to decide that; we'll discuss it at the camp."
The man in black glanced at them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
However, he still spoke in a businesslike manner.
“We have three younger siblings. If this really is the last time we see our eldest brother, can we tell them?”
The third brother looked at the men in black in front of him and pleaded.
Who do you think we are?
The newcomer chuckled.
"Since we can find you, we can naturally find them."
"If they are willing to go, you can naturally find them at the camp."
"Ok."
The third brother nodded.
The group followed several men in black as they left the dilapidated hut.
The fourth brother held the crying ninth and tenth brothers and gently comforted them.
They didn't know what awaited them, but they knew that they were willing to give everything for their brother.
Upon entering the camp, the group met Lao Liu in front of a tent.
The sixth child was crying so hard he could barely breathe.
"It's alright, it's alright."
The siblings had a very deep bond, and seeing the sixth brother crying like this, the tears they had been holding back all the way burst forth again.
"You have one more choice before you get the beating."
The man in black spoke expressionlessly.
"Are you sure you want to each take ten lashes just to see Ying Ziping?"
"Wait a minute, where are the seventh and eighth brothers?"
The fourth brother suddenly asked.
"As for the two children? There's simply not enough time to choose."
The man in black remained expressionless, but his tone seemed to carry a hint of disdain.
But the group didn't notice.
"It's better that they didn't come. If they had, we would all have gotten punished, and then we probably wouldn't have had anything to eat."
Although the fourth brother said this, his voice trembled slightly.
In truth, they understood what this meant, but they still subconsciously spoke up for the seventh and eighth brothers.
"So, are you sure?"
The man in black repeated it again.
"We've come this far, how can we not be sure?"
Apart from the second brother's slightly sarcastic reply, everyone else only replied with two words.
"determine."
"Good good."
Originally, after answering their questions, the group was prepared to "bravely face death."
To their surprise, they suddenly heard a woman's voice.
The voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of laughter, which made them unconsciously look in that direction.
"Let me see how many children have come."
A woman appeared before them.
The children were speechless the moment they saw her.
She had soft, chestnut-brown hair, and a few unruly strands swayed gently around her fair face in the breeze. Her wispy bangs framed her seemingly expressive eyes. Her eyes narrowed just right, as if flashing with a mischievous light.
This woman was truly the most beautiful person they had ever seen.
While the children were still in a daze, the person next to the woman spoke up, interrupting this beautiful scene.
"You want to take a few children back with you, and you want me to be the bad guy."
Jin Ruiguang said helplessly.
"Don't say that. You've done a good deed too."
Feng Shuyuan said with a smile.
"Wait, what exactly is going on?"
