Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2670: Chapter 1919: Lei Ying ”Defeated”? (Part 2)

Is this still a human! A ghost!

”Ah!”

After a sharp scream unique to women, Lorna suddenly pasted herself against the wall beside her, like a mural, too scared to move.

Two meters in front of her stood a man who filled her eyes with terror.

Lei Ying raised the wallet and phone in his hand, politely telling Lorna, ”Don’t scream, I’m just taking back our things. Stay here and don’t move, if you run again, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

Lorna couldn’t speak, she just nodded tightly.

Lei Ying took Lin Weiwei’s wallet and phone to that shabby wooden table and put back the various cards that Lorna had dumped out.

”What do you want to do to me?”

Lorna couldn’t help but ask in terror.

This Asian man gave her a deep sense of helplessness. If possible, she wanted to leave now, abandoning her own things, as they weren’t worth much anyway.

After putting Lin Weiwei’s things in order, Lei Ying picked up Lorna’s backpack from the ground, tossed it back to her, and said, ”I’ll take you to the police station.”

Lorna held her bag, pitifully pleading, ”Can I not go?”

”No.” Lei Ying replied expressionlessly, without any sympathy.

”I have seventeen or eighteen brothers and sisters to look after, I can’t go to jail, anyway you’ve got your things back, please let me go.” Lorna said, her voice almost in tears.

Seeing her eyes well up with tears in an instant, Lei Ying found himself both angry and amused.

This girl really has the talent to be an actress, her acting skills are superb.

Especially the last line, having over a dozen siblings to care for?

It really competes with that common plea from crooks back home — ”I have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby that needs feeding.”

”Let’s go, whatever grievances you have, you can tell the officer.” Lei Ying motioned in the direction he came from.

Judging by Lorna’s skillful actions, her familiarity with the terrain, and her instant change in demeanor, she must have engaged in stealing quite a bit.

To such a petty thief, even though she has the face of a delicate little girl, Lei Ying was unmoved.

On the battlefield, the most useless thing is pity, seeing someone weak and pitiful might just pick up a weapon the next second, leaving the one who felt compassion bleeding out.

Lei Ying had seen it many times over the years, so his heart had naturally hardened.

Seeing Lei Ying not only unaffected but also heading towards her to take her to the police station, Lorna became discouraged and gathered her emotions, ready to try to escape again desperately.

At this moment, from the top of a wall nearby, four or five little heads suddenly popped out, all boys aged around seven, eight, or nine.

”Sister Lorna, don’t be afraid, we’re here!”

”You bad guy, don’t come over!”

”Sister Lorna, run, we’ll help you!”

”Throw dung at that guy!”

A cacophony of shouting arose.

Lei Ying looked at those little ones in surprise, while Lorna couldn’t help but flash a smile.

Those little guys ”said and did,” actually raising their hands repeatedly, throwing lumps of something at Lei Ying.

Lei Ying dodged aside as he heard several ”pops,” and blackish-yellow paste stuck to the wall.

Recalling the word ”dung” he heard earlier, even Lei Ying’s face changed.

Another rain of ”ammo” came assaulting, and Lei Ying could only dodge and retreat frequently, not daring to touch any of it.

Seeing this, Lorna didn’t hesitate any longer, hugging her bag, she slipped away like an eel through a broken wall hole, making her escape.

Lei Ying just watched, helpless.

Another barrage of ”ammo” came fiercely, and Lei Ying dodged again.

A call came from that side, ”Retreat!”

The heads that popped out on the wall instantly shrank back, and only the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard fading away.

Lei Ying held Lin Weiwei’s belongings in his hand, looked at the black and yellow stuff on the ground, furrowed his brow, lifted his foot, and then put it back down.

Then, he examined the wall, muttering, ”Is it mud?”

Clearly, it wasn’t real poop.

”Thank goodness it’s mud, otherwise, it would be gross.” Lei Ying finally sighed in relief but then frowned again, ”Where did they find water and mud...”

The mud faintly had a bit of a foul smell...

At the age of seven or eight, it’s just the right time for playing with pee and mud...

Lei Ying shivered instantly, turned around, and walked back without looking back.

As for the little girl thief, he decided to let it go.

Half an hour later, in an abandoned courtyard at the alley, Lorna was using a hose to wash the hands of a group of kids while scolding, ”Whose idea was this? Are you guys disgusted? Let me wash you up first, and then go neatly back to the orphanage, wash your paws properly, at least twice, no, thrice!”

The little boys giggled and didn’t take it seriously.

They wore old clothes, but they were still relatively clean, though now they were stained with some black and yellow ”mud spots.”

Lorna not only washed their hands but also carefully wiped off the stains on their clothes with a damp cloth.

”By the way, how did you guys find me?” Lorna asked the oldest kid after washing them up.

The boy laughed and said, ”Didn’t you say you spent all your money and couldn’t afford ice cream for us, so you had to make some money? I guessed you went to sell things, so I led them to our old hideout, saw the hidden bag was gone, and took them to our usual spot to find you. Sure enough, you were there, being bullied by a gorilla, so of course we had to rescue you. We’re no match for that big guy, so we had to use our wits, not force.”

Lorna laughed angrily, ”I guessed it was your idea!”

The boy wasn’t ashamed, instead, he smiled proudly and added, ”Actually, we can sell stuff ourselves, even ’restock’...”

”Shut up!” Lorna frowned and shouted, cutting him off, then pointed at his nose, ”’Restocking’ is off-limits for you, and don’t you dare lead them astray.”

The boy was scolded and pouted, a bit discontented.

Lorna saw this, sighed, patted his shoulder, and spoke to him like an adult, ”From the beginning, it was me who led you astray, and that was wrong. I haven’t done this for a long time, but since you all finally got a chance to come out from the orphanage to see me, I wanted you to have fun, so I took the risk this once. But you see, we ran into a tough nut. If you insist on not listening to me, you’ll face situations like today, encountering frightening people, and no one will be able to help you.”

”I’ve already found a legitimate job, and I won’t be ’restocking’ anymore.” Lorna walked aside, picked up her backpack, glanced at it, then went to the nearby well and tossed it in, turning back to say, ”None of you should take after me!”

The boys watched, somewhat understanding, but they all nodded seriously.

The oldest boy grinned and said, ”Is it because of your new boyfriend that you’ve decided to stop?”

Lorna blushed at the words, spat, and said, ”What boyfriend? Just a friend, someone I know. He’s from a high background, how could he... What do you think about every day in that little head of yours? You’re only ten!”

”I’m almost eleven, practically an adult.” The boy grinned, ”Otherwise, why don’t you wait for me, Lorna? I grow fast.”

”Get lost. Look at you, skinny as a rail; eat more when you get back and grow sturdier.” Lorna teased with a laugh.

Then she put her hands on her hips and sighed, ”Looks like I can’t treat you to ice cream today, but luckily I’ve already treated you to enough. Let’s go, have some fun, and then I’ll take you back to the orphanage.”

The kids immediately howled and were reluctant to go back.

Lorna herded them out like ducks.

Meanwhile, Lin Weiwei listened to Lei Ying’s story and laughed so hard she bent over.

Even Bai Xiaosheng turned his head, laughing.

”Those sneaky kids, their tactics are...unsavory,” Lei Ying lamented.

”So, you were outsmarted by some kids with pee and mud, master.” Lin Weiwei teased.

Lei Ying nervously looked around, ”Keep it down.”

”I can’t help it.” Lin Weiwei laughed uncontrollably.

Bai Xiaosheng was also amused.

”You guys...” Lei Ying, feeling helpless and frustrated, simply walked off.

”Hey, don’t be mad, just tell us more... About the details at the time.” Lin Weiwei laughed and went after him.

Bai Xiaosheng also hurried towards them.

In front, Lei Ying’s face turned red, muttering angrily, ”Let me not see that little girl thief again!”
