Adopting a Little Girl (Mianmian)

The next day, Fu Yanzhi followed Black Wolf to a street. Black Wolf smiled at him and asked, "Little Six, do you know what our task is today?"

Fu Yanzhi shook his head. "I don't, Brother Wolf. Please tell me."

"Hahaha, Brother Wolf is taking you to collect a debt today," Black Wolf said with a smile.

"Collect a debt?" Fu Yanzhi's heart tightened, but he put on an excited expression.

Black Wolf patted him on the shoulder. "That's right. Some punk owes our boss a lot of money and keeps putting off paying it back. Today, we're going to show him some color."

The two soon arrived at the debtor's home. Black Wolf kicked the door open and swaggered inside. A frail young man stood in the room, staring at them in terror.

"Well, punk, when are you going to pay back what you owe?" Black Wolf asked mockingly.

The young man lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Wolf, I really don't have any money. Please give me a few more days."

Black Wolf sneered. "More time? How many times have you asked for more time? If you don't pay today, don't blame me for being rough."

With that, Black Wolf stepped forward to grab the young man by the collar.

Watching this, Fu Yanzhi stopped Black Wolf and said with a smile, "Brother Wolf, you don't need to deal with him yourself. Leave him to me."

Fu Yanzhi kicked the man straight to the floor, then grabbed him by the collar and threatened, "Punk, pay my big brother back today, right now, or I'll beat you to death."

Black Wolf nodded from the side. "Not bad, Little Six. This youngster can be taught, hahaha."

Just then, a little girl suddenly ran out of the inner room. She threw herself beside the young man and cried, "Big brother, don't hit my big brother!"

Her childish voice was full of endless terror. Fu Yanzhi's heart jolted, and he stopped.

Black Wolf roared impatiently, "Hey, where did this little brat come from? Stay out of the way!" With that, he reached out to push the little girl.

Quick-eyed and quick-handed, Fu Yanzhi stepped in front of the little girl. Black Wolf glared at him. "Little Six, what are you doing?"

Forcing himself to stay calm, Fu Yanzhi said, "Brother Wolf, this little girl is pitiful. Don't scare her. Let's first have this punk figure out a way to pay back the money."

Black Wolf snorted. "Fine. For your sake, I'll let this little brat off for now. Punk, hurry up and find a way, or you'll get what's coming to you!"

The young man held the little girl, his eyes full of despair, and stammered, "I... I really don't have any way left. Everything valuable in the house has been sold."

Fu Yanzhi watched, unable to bear it. He began thinking about how to resolve the predicament before him without angering Black Wolf, while also helping the brother and sister.

At that moment, Black Wolf glanced at the little girl and said with a smile, "No money, right? Fine. We're taking this little girl with us today."

When the young man heard they were going to take his sister, he immediately shielded her behind him and said tremblingly, "Brother Wolf, I'm begging you, give me two more days. I'll definitely be able to pay the money back."

Brother Wolf ignored his nonsense and reached straight for the little girl hiding behind the young man.

The little girl screamed and struggled. The young man lunged forward and shoved Brother Wolf away, his chest heaving. "Don't touch my sister!"

"Oh, you dare fight back?" Brother Wolf said disdainfully. "Either pay up or hand her over. Don't refuse a face when it's offered to you."

Just as his hand was about to touch the little girl's hair, the young man suddenly snatched a fruit knife from under the table and plunged it viciously into Brother Wolf's abdomen!

Blood instantly soaked through his black coat. Brother Wolf grunted and took half a step back, his gaze turning vicious. Enduring the agony, he pulled a pistol from behind his waist and pressed its pitch-black muzzle firmly against the young man's forehead.

"You little bastard, you dare lay a hand on me?" Brother Wolf said through gritted teeth, his voice full of malice. "Go to hell!" Black Wolf fired several shots in succession.

The young man's knife clattered to the floor, and his body fell forward. Even as he died, he was still looking at his sister.

The little girl screamed in terror and threw herself onto her brother, sobbing. She kept calling out to him.

Black Wolf clutched his wound and said viciously, "This little brat has to be taken away to settle the debt today." With that, he reached for the little girl.

Fu Yanzhi stopped Black Wolf. "Brother Wolf, there's no hurry to grab her. Your injury is what matters now. Let's hurry to the hospital."

Black Wolf looked at his wound and said, "Let's go. Take me to the hospital first. Once I've taken care of this, I'll come back and get her."

After taking Black Wolf to the hospital, Fu Yanzhi hurried away, using the excuse that he had to go back and arrange the follow-up matters.

He already had a plan. He couldn't just stand by and watch the little girl get taken away.

When he returned to the debtor's home, the little girl was still crying beside her brother.

Fu Yanzhi crouched down and comforted her. "Don't worry, don't be afraid. I'll avenge you. You can choose to come with me now, or I can give you some money."

The little girl looked at him resolutely and said, "How can I believe you?"

Fu Yanzhi smiled. "My task here is to wipe out this organization and kill all the bad guys."

The little girl held out her finger and said, "Let's make a pinky promise. My brother said that once you've made a pinky promise, you can't lie."

Fu Yanzhi held out his finger and made a pinky promise with the little girl. Then he took her to his place.

Meanwhile, after Black Wolf had his wound treated at the hospital, he angrily called Fu Yanzhi and demanded to know where the little girl was.

Fu Yanzhi said calmly, "Brother Wolf, I've already sold the little girl."

Black Wolf snorted coldly. "It had better be true. If you dare play tricks, you'll get what's coming to you."

Fu Yanzhi sent Black Wolf 100,000 yuan and said, "Brother Wolf, this is the money from selling the little girl."

Black Wolf looked at the money, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he accepted it nonetheless. "You've got some ability after all, kid. I'll put in a good word for you with the boss."

Fu Yanzhi smiled. "Then thank you, Brother Wolf."

"What's there to thank me for? All right, get back to your business. I'll come find you tomorrow if there's anything," Black Wolf said.

"All right, Brother Wolf. Goodbye." Then Fu Yanzhi hung up.

Fu Yanzhi took the little girl by the hand and returned to his place. He packed up his things, intending to move somewhere more secluded.

Fu Yanzhi and the little girl walked all afternoon. At last, Fu Yanzhi found a small single-story house with a little courtyard and contacted the landlord.

Before long, the landlord arrived. Seeing that Fu Yanzhi was young and had a little sister with him, the landlord charged him 2,000 yuan a month. After Fu Yanzhi paid, the landlord left.

Holding the little girl's hand, Fu Yanzhi walked onto a bustling street. He was thinking of buying her some clothes, as well as some vegetables to take back and cook for her.

They first came to a children's clothing store, where the colorful clothes dazzled the eye. The little girl, however, wasn't looking at the clothes. Fu Yanzhi picked out a few cute dresses and comfortable tops.

Next, Fu Yanzhi spotted a toy store. Thinking that little girls all liked cute things, he picked out a fluffy teddy bear for her. The little girl simply held the bear and didn't show that she particularly liked it.

Finally, they went into a market, where Fu Yanzhi bought some pork ribs, greens, and fruit. The little girl was far too skinny, just like the three little ones before, but fortunately, I can fatten her up now.

Back at the little house, Fu Yanzhi put on an apron and began cooking. The little girl sat on a small stool, hugging the teddy bear and watching him obediently.

Soon, the aroma of food filled the air, and the little girl's stomach rumbled. The two sat down at the small table, and Fu Yanzhi kept putting food in her bowl. The little girl merely ate mechanically, saying nothing. Fu Yanzhi didn't press her.

After the meal, Fu Yanzhi helped the little girl wash up, tucked her into bed, and told her a story. She soon drifted off to sleep.

Looking at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face, Fu Yanzhi thought of his younger brothers. He planned to take the little girl home with him after completing his task and let her be Little Eight. As he thought about it, Fu Yanzhi also drifted off to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the little girl suddenly began crying, calling out again and again, "Big brother, big brother, don't go. Don't you want Mianmian anymore?"

Hearing the little girl crying, Fu Yanzhi kept comforting her softly. "Mianmian, be good. Big brother is here. Big brother won't leave. Don't be afraid, Mianmian."

Comforted by Fu Yanzhi, the little girl fell asleep again. Fu Yanzhi turned over and went back to sleep as well.
