Little Ke quickly dashed after it, not wanting the money given to him by the kind sister to be swept away.
"Danger! Come back, Little Ke!" Ye Xing lunged, but his hands grasped at thin air.
Turning around, he saw an Audi A6 barreling down the road, headed directly for the boy.
The driver was also startled by the sudden appearance of the young boy.
In his panic, the driver slammed hard on the brakes.
A long skid mark stretched out across the street.
Thankfully, the car came to a halt half a metre from Little Ke.
Clutching the bill that had fluttered to the ground, Little Ke stared in terror at the car that was almost pressing onto his face.
The car door opened, and a chubby man, cursing and complaining, got out of the driver's seat, his eyes wide in fury.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Xing rushed to Little Ke's side.
"Damn it, where did this little beggar spring from? Are you pulling a scam? Don't you have eyes? This is a street, not your playground. Do you want to get me killed?"
The fat man stepped forward, sharply kicking towards Xiao Ke.
Ye Xing quickly used his body to block this heavy kick.
With a muffled grunt, he backed up a step, but he was not angry.
"Bro, children know no better. You're an adult with greater forbearance, don't stoop to his level."
Ye Xing gaze smilingly at the fat man, while Xiao Ke beside him forcefully held back his tears. Lin Xiaoxiao voiced her dissatisfaction.
"Why does an adult like you vent your anger on a small child? Can't you show a little sympathy? The road is wide enough. You're like a bull in a china shop, can't you see?
Driving so fast…Upon hearing this, the fat man grew even angrier. He actually wanted to slap this nagging girl to death.
The bustling street quickly filled up with rubberneckers, thoroughly blocking the road.
"Honk, honk!"
The cars behind were stuck. A lady wearing glasses descended from a green-yellow Maserati leading the pack.
She leisurely walked towards the fat driver.
"Sir, could you please move your car? Our CEO is in a rush. If he is delayed, I believe you cannot afford the responsibility."
The lady spoke indifferently, immediately attracting the crowd's attention towards the Maserati.
Whispers of astonishment could be heard in the crowd.
A limited edition Maserati, with the license plate number 11111, isn't this the Wang Corporation's car?
The Maserati Phantom, which only 500 units were issued nationwide, has a market value of tens of millions!
Get out of the way, people like us can't afford to mess with the Wang family.
Fat man tensed up inwardly, spitting a glob of phlegm on the ground.
Cursing his bad luck silently, he hurriedly got in his car to leave this place.
How could a small boss like him dare to cross the Wang family?
The woman noticed the cleared road and the boy sitting on the ground.
Seeing such a small boy begging, she also felt a pang of pity.
She walked up and handed over two hundred yuan before turning and getting back into the car.
"Xiaolian, what happened?"
In the back seat of the car, a light makeup beauty spoke. Her work appropriate tight suit accentuated her curvy figure, and light yellow hair cascaded down.
Her fair skin and long legs were particularly eye-catching, exuding an aura of nobility even without trying.
She is Wang Siqi, the CEO of Wang's Group, and also the seventh Miss Wang.
On the job, she ended any disputes firmly and concisely. At just twenty-two years old, she instilled fear and respect in her company's staff.
"President Wang, there was a commotion just now. A little beggar was accused of scamming people; I made them clear the area," she explained.
"Mm."
The car started, with Wang Siqi propping one hand on her cheek, looking at the bustling streets.
Her delicate face has always been as calm as water, without ripple.
"Gao's family played this game really well. If I really fell into their trap, the company would have at least lost two hundred million, huh"
After a cold laugh, Wang Siqi's beautiful eyes became ice-cold, radiating chill all over her body.
Want to pit her? Then be ready to lose a piece of meat. On the other side, Lin Xiaoxiao and the other two returned to the side of the street.
"Xiao Ke, you don't know how to behave. Just stay here and wait for me to pick you up after school, okay?"
Lin Xiaoxiao instructed Xiao Ke to stay put and not to run around.
After a round of injunctions, the two hastily ran off to class, as they were about to be late.
Watching the two walk away, Xiao Ke stuck out his tongue, packed up his bowl and paper, and disappeared with two pancakes in his arms.
The auntie selling pancakes turned around to grab the ingredients, only to find that the little beggar beside her had disappeared at some point.
Under the bridge, Xiao Ke started eating his pancakes with a cheerful face.
A gulp of Coke went down, a happy smile bloomed on his face.
"I'm sorry, kind sister. I can't go home with you, I need to find my family. They must be looking for me too."
Xiao Ke talked to himself, his eyes gazing towards the horizon.
He gently caressed the blue jade pendant worn around his neck, upon which two characters were engraved "Xiao Ke"
Grandpa had told him, this was the only thing his parents had left him.
If his parents saw the pendant, they would be able to find him, After breakfast, Xiao Ke sat cross-legged on the worn-out quilt. He was ready to practice the martial arts methods taught by his master. Little Ke opened his eyes just as the sun was setting.
Without realization, he had spent the entire day seated in meditation.
"What a comfortable feeling, it seems like my body had lightened?"
Little Ke stood up and stretched his body, enjoying the delightful sensation.
He was unaware of the fact that his originally skinny body had gained a bit of weight, and his skin had become fairer, although the changes were not noticeable.
"I'm hungry again, I wonder if Kind Sister will worry if she can't find me."
Little Ke gave his head a shake and lifted the cover to reveal a small metal box.
This box was his treasure, comprised of the money he had collected from begging over the past year.
He saved up the money that remained unspent, which had accumulated into a considerable amount.
Upon opening the box, it was filled with multi-colored coins.
