Chapter Eighty-Two: A Real Prodigal Son

Such a commotion had attracted not just one or two, but hundreds of spectators, almost blocking the entire street. Seven or eight traffic police had rushed to the scene. However, with Benjamin Brown and their crew present, they naturally consulted the police about the incident first. Upon hearing Benjamin Brown’s account, the traffic police had no idea what to say.

Indeed, the vehicles parked on the main street had been completely ruined. If there were only some external shell damage, these could have been sent to the factory for a major repair and reused, because every lot inside the vehicles was brand new. But these strongmen did not listen to them. Finn Lewis’s words were the absolute command. As Finn Lewis ordered to scrap the vehicles, they would head straight into the junkyard. The engines under the hoods of the cars had been smashed beyond recognition. Yet, they showed calculated precision in minimizing oil leakage and preventing extensive pollution to the road.

“I’m sorry, colleagues, for causing you all this trouble. Julia Parker, you are going to be responsible for this. Could you please ask the police officers to arrange for a tow truck to dispose all these vehicles to an auto recycling plant?

We will cover the towing charges and any other associated costs.” Finn Lewis extended his apologies to the traffic officers and assigned Julia Parker the follow-up tasks.

The traffic police were looking at each other in astonishment. From Benjamin Brown, they had learned about the background of the man in front of them. To put it nicely, he was a man who would get furious for the sake of protecting the weak. Well, that wasn’t quite right, as the little girl wasn’t even his sister. So to speak positively, he was a good person. Yet if you were to downplay it, he was nothing but a prodigal son with a willful nature. He was determinedly using his power to intimidate people. Wasn’t it clear to see the middle-aged man who had finally succumbed to this onslaught? Yet, the prodigal son got off without any problems after smashing all those cars.

However, they also understood, that all these incidents stemmed from the young man’s dominance due to his backup power. Such is reality! Oh, and quite surprisingly, this distinguished character was now apologizing voluntarily and cooperating with the crowd control. As he was so positivite, they couldn’t complain much and simply ordered the tow truck to get there as quickly as possible, to tow away these damaged vehicles, as the road was practically blocked.

“Zoe, let’s go. Promise me you won’t run away again. Grandma will come back after she’s done with her treatment,” said Finn Lewis gently, as he took little Zoe from Fishy Wells.

Watching this scene, both the police and traffic cops felt quite moved. Whatever Finn Lewis did was truly high-handed and lavish. And yet from another perspective, he was indeed a compassionate man. After all, the whole incident transpired because he acted as a protector for a little beggar girl. This was not even remotely related to him, he simply intervened because the little beggar had returned the several hundred yuan she found to him. All in all, every person gets what fate has destined for them. The little girl was truly fortunate!

Everyone had their own reflections. Yet undoubtedly, the happenings of the day left a profound impact on them all, whether they were employees at the 4S store or friends of Fishy Wells. Finn Lewis had significantly imprinted his presence in their hearts. His influence was indelible, for he had smashed vehicles worth tens of millions for such a trivial matter. Wasn’t his impression just compelling?

“Hmm.” Zoe held onto Finn’s neck, buried her face in his neck, and stayed silent.

After saying goodbye to Benjamin Brown and the rest, Finn Lewis got into the back of the car of Ice Horse with Zoe in his arms while Ruby Frank was in the driver’s seat.

“Let’s go home,” said Finn Lewis to Ruby Frank, who nodded and then started the car. Finn did not need to worry about the rest, as the right people had been appointed to handle it. The car soon merged into the flow of the traffic, bringing silence inside it. Meanwhile, Zoe was unwilling to let go of Finn, keeping her head buried in his neck. He did not mind either, continuing to hold her in his arms.

“Brother,” said Zoe suddenly, breaking the silence in the car.

“Hmm? What’s the matter?” Finn Lewis promptly asked.

“Has Grandma died and gone to another world, from where she will never return?” asked Zoe. As soon as she had posed the question, the atmosphere in the vehicle turned dead silent. Ruby Frank almost crashed the car, but quickly stabilized it. Both she and Finn Lewis were taken aback.

“How… How did you know?” Finn asked with a bitter smile after a long silence. It seemed they had underestimated this shrewd little girl.

“When those evil uncles took me away that night, I heard them saying that Grandma had passed away,” said the sobbing Zoe to Finn, who felt a cold sensation in his neck – Zoe’s tears.

Finn set Zoe down so that she sat on his lap, staring into her tear-streaked face. He reached out to tenderly wipe away her tears, saying, “Good girl, Zoe.

Although Grandma is no longer with us, she would want to see Zoe happy.

From now on, you have Brother. Your brother will be your family.”

“Hmm.” Zoe nodded obediently, then embraced Finn’s neck again, falling silent. But her silence meant a lot to Finn, reminding him that even though she was not more than five or six years old, her life filled with constant hardship had taught her quite a few things, at least about worldly matters. Even though she had only a vague understanding, it was something.

Just like when that man slapped her, her first reaction was not to cry like any other child, but to apologize! Every time Finn remembered this, his heart ached. Clearly this was not the first time she had faced such a situation. What kind of harsh lessons must a five or six-year-old child have gone through to know that upon being hit, her first response should not be to cry, but to apologize to the person who hit her?

The car arrived home soon, and little Zoe fell asleep by the time they reached their destination. Finn got off the car very carefully, holding Zoe in his arms so as not to wake her, but surprisingly Zoe woke up right after he picked her up from the car.

“Brother, I can walk by myself from here. You must be tired, aren’t you?” proposed Zoe.

“No need, no need. How can I tire just by holding you for a little while? Don’t you see how strong I am?” Finn tried to cheer Zoe up with a smile, simulating a bodybuilding pose. However, the more sensible this girl acted, the more heartbroken he felt.

“Young Master, let me hold her,” Ruby Frank volunteered, stepping out of the car.

“No need, you go park the car, and buy her some clothes and other things girls of her age need. I have no clue about those things,” said Finn to Ruby Frank.

“I understand,” replied Ruby Frank, nodding, then no longer insisted on helping. Finn then led Zoe inside the house. Before entering, he knelt down to explain to Zoe how to use the door lock. Zoe had never seen such a lock before. Once instructed by Finn, Zoe was a bit distracted, tried it a few times at the door, and then had a smile on her face..
