The two sides broke into an argument on the spot, the shouting growing more intense by the second.
Who would have thought that Ms. Tang had a knife hidden on her? Amidst the chaos, she stabbed Old Man Cui in the thigh.
This scene was witnessed by Little Ya'er. The little girl froze in place, and Old Man Cui instinctively urged her to run.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Li Xiaoshan rushed forward, grabbed Little Ya'er, squeezed her neck, and threw her to the ground.
Seeing his only granddaughter go still, Old Man Cui snapped. He lunged at Li Xiaoshan, fighting for his life.
The explosive force of anger was astonishing. As Li Xiaoshan wrestled with him, they tumbled into the courtyard. Just as Old Man Cui was about to shout for help, Ms. Tang wordlessly plunged the knife into his neck.
Old Man Cui's blood sprayed across Li Xiaoshan's face, blinding his eyes. It took him a while to stumble to his feet, shaken.
