Led by Shu Yuanwei, the refugees and beggars headed straight to the main power supply room of the villa district. They used brute force to subdue the security guards on duty.
Shu Yuanwei wanted to interrogate them on which switch to cut off the power supply to Qiu Tong’s villa. But the leader of the refugees directly cut off the power supply to the entire area.
In an instant, the affluent villa district fell into a state of panic. The residents hid in the basement, trying to avoid the disaster in front of them.
Qiu Tong noticed something amiss and ran to the window with a frown. She saw the leader of the refugees surrounding her villa with a large group of people.
Ke Le stood beside her and said in a hoarse and rough voice, “Boss, don’t worry.”
“With us here, we will protect you and the children with our lives!”
Qiu Tong looked at him gratefully and patted his shoulder. She picked up the metal rod and other items she had prepared in advance. “You guys be careful too!”
“I don’t want anyone to get hurt, understand?”
The mercenaries nodded solemnly and guarded the door with serious expressions. They pricked up their ears to listen to the approaching footsteps.
With danger approaching, Ye Luan took the initiative to run to Qiu Tong with clenched fists. He raised his thin little hand and shielded her behind him.
Qiu Tong looked down at him in confusion. Ye Luan pursed his lips and said softly, “I’m a man. I have to protect Auntie Qiu when there is danger!”
Qiu Xingqiao put on a stoic face when he heard his words. He gripped his boxing gloves tightly and stood in front of Ye Luan and Qiu Tong. “She’s my mommy. It’s not your place to protect her! Go and find a place to hide. Just don’t cause trouble for us…”
This was the first time Little Yu was experiencing a riot like this. She was very frightened and feeling somewhat panicky, but she still chose to run in front of Qiu Tong.
Qiu Xingyuan filled up the last empty spot in front of Qiu Tong. He frowned nervously and looked at Qiu Tong worriedly. “Don’t move!”
Qiu Tong looked at the children who were protecting her and felt a warmth in her heart.
“Thank you.”
She muttered under her breath before grabbing the children by their waists and handing them to the mercenaries behind her. “Protect them!”
The mercenaries obeyed the order and surrounded the four children in the middle. They listened warily to the sounds of the refugees crashing through the door and smashing the windows…
Bang! Crack——
The refugees barged into the villa and saw Qiu Tong and Ke Le standing side by side. The leader of the refugees narrowed his eyes and said, “Hand over your food!”
“I promise they won’t hurt you.”
Qiu Tong glanced at the crowd and quickly calculated that their food store would not be enough for so many people.
If the distribution was unequal, it would make the refugees even more emotional and cause internal strife amongst them. The situation would worsen.
Qiu Tong said indifferently, “We don’t have excess food.”
Shu Yuanwei had been hiding behind the refugees the entire time. When he heard Qiu Tong’s reply, he jumped out and said, “She’s lying!”
“I saw with my own eyes that she bought several carts of food at the market. She must have hidden them somewhere!”
Ke Le spat on the ground and rushed to Shu Yuanwei. He grabbed Shu Yuanwei by the collar and punched him twice in the stomach. “Shut up if you don’t want to die!”
The refugees could tell that Ke Le and the others were very skilled. They picked up their wooden sticks and prepared to attack.
“Qiu Tong? Are you alright?”
It was Song Yan, who had now barged into the villa with his men.
