This area was covered in high-definition surveillance cameras. Every detail of the accident, including the tattoo on the gangster's chest, was clearly visible.
The traffic officer couldn't contain his laughter and chuckled for two minutes before declaring:
"The gangster is fully at fault."
I requested cash compensation and received a tidy sum.
Before leaving, I pulled the officer aside and hinted that investigating the gangster might earn him a medal.
Hearing this, the officer's eyes lit up.
From that day on, I prayed daily, hoping the gangster would soon be caught in prison.
Please.
But prayers seemed ineffective.
A few days later, after dropping Maribel off at school, I hid nearby to observe as usual.
Maribel stood in the hallway when Leopold approached.
After enduring ten intensive tutoring sessions a day, Leopold had finally achieved first place in yesterday's exams.
He had become cleverer but also balder.
Even from a distance, I could see the shiny crown of his head and the precarious strands of hair trembling in the wind.
His face was haggard, with huge dark circles and a scruffy beard.
Still, he smiled in that same devilish way.
But his voice lacked energy.
"My... cough... little enchantress..."
Go home and take some supplements, please!
Even Maribel, with her open mind, couldn't have a boyfriend like this.
"Please have some self-respect," she said politely.
Then she called over two male classmates to help escort Leopold, who seemed to have aged ten years overnight, out of the room.
This child has been kind since she was little.
Always respects her elders.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside.
A group of burly men in black stormed in, shouting at the top of their lungs from the base of the teaching building.
"Where's Maribel? Get out here now!"
"Our boss wants to see you!"
I turned to look and immediately spotted that infamous tattoo.
Oh.
It was Mr. "I Love Shit" himself.
He wasn't caught in prison yet?!
Unbelievable.
I had been hoping to buy his merchandise by now.
They brazenly barged into the teaching building, searching room by room.
I pulled out my phone to call the police, but the elderly security guard stopped me.
"It looks like it's up to me," he said resolutely, gripping his cane as he shuffled toward the intruders.
Each step trembled.
...
Seriously?
Grandpa.
Is it worth risking your life for $300 a month?
He hobbled along, wheezing, as if he might ascend to heaven at any moment.
"You... can't... go in..."
One of the thugs sneered at him.
"Scram! Or I'll bury you as fertilizer!"
I quickly moved to intervene, but before I could get close, a sharp glint appeared in Grandpa's eyes. He dropped his cane, grabbed the thug, and slammed him into the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A live demonstration of tree planting.
The area fell silent.
