Chapter 1534: Imprisonment

Clank!

The tram bell rang, and Christina and her family ended their unhappy Christmas Eve dinner.

"I don't think I'll be back tomorrow, I'm very busy with work!" Christina said as she put on her coat, picked up her purse and was about to leave.

Snapped!

The foster mother Peggy's fat hand was pressed on the leather bag, seeing that her hand was still stained with oil, Christina's distressed eyebrows twitched.

"The family needs money." Peggy held out her right hand in front of her.

Christina endured the grievance and anger in her heart and said: "I get money back every month, where is the money?"

"Don't these people need to eat?" Peggy pointed to the people in the room, and said confidently: "The money you gave is not enough for the family's expenses."

Looking at the kicks with the head down and the kicks, the teeth picking, the rogue laughing, the numbness and the sense of reason.

"I don't have any money." Christina said firmly; "And, I won't give you any money in the future."

"What did you say?" Peggy stood up, her fleshy face full of threats.

Christina took a deep breath or: "I said, I have no money, not now, nor in the future."

Snapped!

With a slap on her face, Peggy said with resentment on her face: "You think you are a big shot, so you can leave everything behind and live your happy life?"

"Stop dreaming, Tina!" Peggy said viciously; "You're just a lowly bitch, and you'll never get away from everything here...and us."

Christina raised her head stubbornly, ignoring the burning pain on her face, and said coldly: "I will get rid of this place, just like getting rid of you and these moths."

"Damn it." Seeing that she had the courage to say that, Peggy was completely irritated.

Grabbing her hair, Peggy called out in a drake voice, "Maddy, Brody, and Terry get the rope."

"I'm going to lock her up, damn bitch, Bitch, does she think she's grown up?" Peggy lowered her head angrily.

"Do you think you have grown up? Do you think you can escape your fate?" The terrible roar was close at hand.

Christina shouted in rebellion: "What are you going to do, you can't do this to me."

"Why not?" Peggy ignored what she said, "If you don't hand over your money, Bitch, you'll just rot in the dark, damn bastard..."

While cursing fiercely, Peggy and the three children tied Christina up with a rope and threw her into the utility room under the corridor.

"Let me out." In the narrow grocery room, Christina was struggling on the ground.

But the rope was tied too tightly, from the ankle to the neck was wrapped and locked tightly.

"Stay inside and reflect on yourself!" Peggy's footsteps gradually faded away, and the door was slammed.

It sounded like they were out, and Peggy was always at her busiest time when it was dark.

She needs to drum up some business so that the rent and daily expenses can be paid before Christina gives in.

As long as she yields and gets the money, all difficulties will be solved.

Whether the noise in the room reaches the ears of the neighbors is no one's concern.

Because people who live here know the rules; never wonder what's going on outside!

...

bang bang!

The punch sounded at the same time, and Li Zitao and Aiden each took a step back.

They twisted their shoulders with weird expressions, and both of them were digesting the power from each other.

The swelling and pain in his shoulder made Li Zitao look at him differently. When did this kid get so strong?

Aiden even endured the severe pain in his bones, and tried his best to control his facial expressions, not wanting to show any weakness.

"Can you still hold it?" The swelling and pain on the shoulder gradually weakened, Li Zitao raised his shoulder and shook it, and said with a chuckle, "I don't want to send you to the hospital."

"If that's the case, I think you'll have to sleep in the study for at least two months." Aiden said not to be outdone.

Li Zitao's complacency immediately turned into a wry smile with a stunned expression.

This kid is really right, if he was beaten into the hospital, it would be easy for Mary to drive him to the study to sleep.

It's now!

The moment he realized that he was distracted, Aiden dashed forward, using his right foot hard, his body jumped up, and he raised his right fist and hit him on the forehead from top to bottom.

As soon as he was about to be hit, Li Zitao suddenly raised his head and grabbed his arm: "Remember."

Li Zitao pulled his body playfully with a smile, turned in a semicircle like throwing a shot put, and slammed it towards the elastic rope.

"When you are not sure, don't let your feet leave the ground." After Aiden landed, he finished his advice in an orderly manner.

Seeing that he was about to get up, Li Zitao untied the bandage and said casually, "The match is over."

"I'm okay." Aiden patted his body, his feet danced alternately pretending to be relaxed, indicating that he could continue the game.

Li Zitao glanced at his ankle and said, "I'm the referee, it's over."

Pearl, who was sitting by the ring, blinked blankly, looked at the hammer and asked, "I'm the referee?"

Iron Hammer said dumbfoundedly: "Yes, you are the referee."

"So, you can declare the game over."

Hearing what he said, Pearl rang the little bell in a daze, pouted and said dejectedly, "It's not fun at all."

Throwing away the bandage, Li Zitao picked up the phone and called the infirmary: "Come to the boxing gym and bring an ice pack."

Back in the ring, Aiden was already leaning on the spring rope, with his right foot slightly off the ground showing a painful expression, "How did you find out?"

"I learned more from SHIELD than you can imagine." Li Zitao helped him to sit down with a smile, and rolled up his trouser legs to check.

At this moment, Pearl didn't bother about who was the referee anymore, and quickly ran over, got into the ring and asked, "Is brother injured?"

"Yes, but I don't think it's serious." Seeing that his ankle was slightly red and swollen, but no bone was injured, Li Zitao laid his leg flat on the ground.

Knowing that Aiden was indeed injured, Pearl put his hands on his hips and looked at Li Zitao angrily: "How could you let my brother get hurt? I'm going to tell my mother."

Looking at her innocently, Li Zitao pretended to be wronged and said, "I didn't mean to."

"But he was injured." After speaking, he ran to Aiden, hugged him with both hands, put his face on his shoulder and said distressedly, "Does brother hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Aiden said, messing with her hair and laughing; "Don't worry, it will be fine tomorrow."

"Really?" Pearl looked at him with flickering eyes.

"Of course." Aiden said affirmatively, his eyes turned to his father, and an inexplicable meaning flashed in their eyes.

Perhaps in the near future it would be time for Pearl to visit and study at Osborne.

The father and son nodded tacitly, and the people from the infirmary also arrived.

After handing him over to the beautiful nurse, Li Zitao gave him a wink that "men can understand", which made Aiden unable to help but laugh out loud when he left.

Even the pain on the ankle seemed to disappear instantly.
