"Yo, looks like you've been having a good time these days." The man with a crew cut whistled as he leaned against the door. People called him Brother Hu Zi, and he was a hired thug of the Hongyi Gang. He learned mixed martial arts for six years. During a street fight, he defeated five thugs with weapons and caught the attention of the boss of the Hongyi Gang. That was how he got his current status.
Perhaps it wasn't a position, but seeing a bunch of underlings change from arrogance to deference, and a bunch of immature students call him big brother, was also a kind of enjoyment.
Although in front of a real big brother, he was just a fart … no, not even a fart.
When he had nothing to do, he would look after the Hongyi Nightclub and occasionally collect debts for the boss. With a group of thugs following behind him, he lived a leisurely life.
Although finding a woman to collect debts made him feel a bit bored, especially since she even considered calling the police? Run? Why didn't she ask what kind of place the Hongyi Gang was when she borrowed money?
But, seeing that she was a beauty, he would let her go this time. Liu Hu's face revealed a faintly discernible, lascivious smile. The ten lackeys behind him had already surrounded the entrance of the store. The customers who were buying flowers all put down their things and hurriedly left the flower shop.
Naturally, these hooligans wouldn't stop those who were tactful enough to leave.
For a moment, the flower shop that was originally filled with customers became empty.
The owner shivered as he looked at the gang in front of the door. He didn't dare to call the police. He knew that if he poked his nose into other people's business, the shop would not be able to continue.
However, with a line of people standing in front of the door, the business could no longer continue.
"Come out? Do you want me to invite you in? "Hu Zi whistled as he looked at her with a playful look.
Xia Shiyu bit her lips. Her beautiful face was covered with a shadow of fear. Noticing the owner's pleading eyes, Xia Shiyu sighed as she put down the vase in her hand and walked stiffly forward.
"I didn't expect you to still work at the flower shop." Hu Zi looked at her and reached out to touch her face. "How is it? Did you get enough money? "
However, to Hu Zi's surprise, this stubborn woman actually dared to dodge his hand.
"I will pay it back. Please don't bother me anymore." Xia Shiyu took a deep breath and said emotionlessly.
"Work? That's it? How long do I have to wait for you? Hehe. "Huzi, whose hand was dodged, laughed instead of getting angry, but his eyes turned cold.
"… Then what do you want?" Xia Shiyu coldly looked at the hooligan. She was so scared that her legs couldn't stop shaking. However, the stubbornness in her bones made her unwilling to give in.
This girl is a little interesting. Her legs are shaking in fear, but she still has a bad temper on her face. Hu Zi raised his eyebrows and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Two options. One, take the money. Two, capture him. "Hu Zi leisurely raised two fingers.
"I don't have money right now," Xia Shiyu tried to calm herself down.
"That's simple. Just take him." Hu Zi spread his hands with a smile as if he had made a deal.
"Human?" Xia Shiyu snorted. "Do you dare to sell human beings?"
"Hahaha …"
Everyone, including the lackeys behind Tiger, laughed.
This made Xia Shiyu feel humiliated. She didn't think it was funny at all, but she, who had no one to rely on, couldn't fight back. She once thought that even if she was a woman, she could completely rely on her own efforts to support herself, support her parents, and realize the value of life …
However, the reality was so ruthless.
"No, no, no, that's too wasteful, especially for a beauty like you." As if he was done laughing, Hu Zi raised his hand that was holding his stomach and looked at the men behind him. "At least let her play with you for a few years before selling you as a wife. Don't you think so?"
"Hahaha, that's for sure. Who knows, we might even support you and sponsor you when the time comes. What do you think?"
"How about selling you as a wife to Brother Pi? He's a bastard who likes to wear used shoes."
"F * ck off. I like to wear used shoes, but I didn't say I would marry one. Motherf * cker …"
"…"
Listening to the vulgar words, Xia Shiyu almost bit her lips to the point of bleeding. She wanted to cry. This was the first time she had the urge to ask someone to save her. Even in the most difficult times, she never had such a thought.
Tears of humiliation swayed in her eyes. She even thought of death. If she was taken away by these people, it would be better to just die.
Hu Zi was someone who had experience in collecting debts. He knew what Xia Shiyu was thinking just by looking at her expression. He raised his hand to signal his men to shut up and said in a relaxed tone.
"Okay, I think you are also a pitiful person. But that is the rule. It is only right to pay back debts. Don't worry too much. Just work at Hongyi Nightclub for a few years and pay off the debt and interest. Then you can come out. No one will know anyway, right? Then you can leave this city and find a good family to marry. Just don't borrow money that you shouldn't … "
Brilliant, truly brilliant. Giving a stick and then a carrot. Although it was old fashioned, it was indeed effective. He was afraid that the vulgar words of the group of lackeys were just to match this person's next words.
Great acting! Deep trap!
It was still the same sentence. Thugs were not scary, what was scary was that thugs were organized.
Although Jiang Chen wanted to continue watching, when he saw his former boss' expression on the verge of collapse, his heart softened and he let out a sigh. Even if he used to hate her … he didn't have the mood to kick her when she was down.
[Then I'll help her …]
If it was before, he would be a bit scared of thugs who spouted vulgarities. But now …
…
"Hehe, how should I address you?"
Hu Zi paused for a moment. He didn't realize someone was standing next to him and offering him a cigarette.
Xia Shiyu used her teary eyes to look at the man who appeared in front of her in disbelief. Her face was full of shock. He was the one who stood up for her? He was the man she had fired because of a moment of anger.
Although she regretted her impulsive actions, she didn't think she would run into him again in this situation.
[Why is he here? Why did he stand up? Shouldn't he be watching from the sidelines?]
Xia Shiyu's face was full of disbelief.
[Guilt, gratitude, confusion … and confusion?]
"Hu Zi." Hu Zi took the cigarette, dumbfounded. He didn't understand the situation. Generally speaking, when the mafia was working, no one dared to come up and talk to them.
Cops? Hu Zi immediately denied this possibility. The boss had connections with the cops. If he didn't make it into news, the cops wouldn't do anything.
[Idiot?] Hu Zi's expression became a little weird.
"What a coincidence. Because I ran into someone I know, I came up to take a look." Jiang Chen laughed and then changed the topic. "I heard your conversation. How much does she owe you?"
Hu Zi narrowed his eyes at Jiang Chen. In his opinion, this guy was too arrogant.
The boss gave him the task to bring back as many people as he could. How much money could he make with the low interest? The key was that this girl was quite attractive. He could get her to be a red card in a nightclub. With a twenty-eighty split, he could do it for four to five years. That would be the main source of money for the Hongyi Gang.
"Yo, kid, you sure are arrogant." Hu Zi sneered as he threw the cigarette to the side and reached out to grab Jiang Chen. Xia Shiyu's heart almost jumped out of her throat. At this moment, she began to worry about the man who dared to stand up for her.
"My clothes cost at least ten thousand dollars. Can you afford to pay for it if you scratch it?" Jiang Chen sighed as he grabbed the claws reaching for him. With his 28 reflexes, it might not be enough in the dangerous apocalypse, but it was a piece of cake for the small fries in the modern world.
Hu Zi felt like his hands were clamped by a pair of steel pincers. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch.
[Dammit, this kid must have practiced.]
He realized that he might have kicked a steel plate. Although he wanted to retreat, with so many followers watching, he still felt like a bandit. A small knife appeared in his left hand and swung at Jiang Chen's head.
Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly and dodged the slow knife. With a push, he pushed the thug backward.
"Fu * k, you're not that good? Brothers, let's go! " The henchmen on the side saw that Hu Zi couldn't win, so they immediately shouted for their brothers to attack together. They were ready to escalate the one-on-one fight into a group fight.
Looking at the way the thug pulled out the knife while cursing …
Jiang Chen sighed. To be honest, if he knew it would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have worn such a luxurious outfit.
"How about the alley over there? There are cameras here. "Jiang Chen nonchalantly pointed at the alley.
Hu Zi paused for a moment. Something was wrong with his reaction. That person didn't look scared at all, which made him feel uncertain.
But since he already said so, if he was scared, wouldn't he lose the limelight? How could he show his face in front of his followers?
"Hehe, this brother sure has guts. Then please." Tiger straightened his collar and made a gesture of invitation toward the alley on the side like a big brother.
[You really know how to act cool. You dare to gang up on me?]
After cursing in his mind, Jiang Chen pouted and stepped into the alley.
Watching Jiang Chen enter the alley, a sneer appeared on Hu Zi's face.
[No matter how skilled you are, can you beat ten people with weapons?] [You think you're Superman? Idiot!]
Of course, he would find out who the idiot was in a moment …
He left the most useless henchman to watch Xia Shiyu in case she ran away. Hu Zi took the remaining nine men into the alley. Soon, he would find out who the idiot was.
Xia Shiyu worriedly watched Jiang Chen enter the alley. She wanted to take out her phone to call the police, but the pervert with a perverted smile was staring at her from the side. She didn't dare to move. She turned to look at the shop owner who had taken care of her all his life. At this moment, he was just pretending not to see it, looking to the side as if it had nothing to do with him.
Xia Shiyu suddenly wanted to cry. For some reason, she really wanted to cry. Not because of fear, but because of helplessness …
She hadn't relied on anyone for more than ten years. The exhaustion from being strong also hit her because of the helplessness.
…
"Do it …" Halfway through his sentence, Hu Zi's bandit like expression froze on his face.
A black muzzle was pressed against his forehead.
"There is no surveillance here." Jiang Chen shrugged. He didn't expect the pistol Yao Yao picked up to be useful here. Of course, if it wasn't for the fear of ruining the shirt, he wouldn't have used his fist to teach these thugs a lesson.
"Fake, fake." A drop of cold sweat rolled down Hu Zi's forehead, but he still forced a smile. At the same time, he stared into Jiang Chen's eyes, trying to find something that would make him shake.
Jiang Chen moved the muzzle away without hesitation.
Bang!
The firing pin hit the bullet, and the sound of gunpowder exploded in Hu Zi's left ear like thunder. At such a close distance, it almost broke his eardrum.
"Ahhh …" A thug clutched his thigh as he fell to the ground with a pale face. The immense pain made his face twisted. The people standing on the side only looked at Jiang Chen in fear. They didn't dare to help their fallen brother up.
The bullet penetrated the thug's thigh and embedded itself into the concrete floor.
The unlucky guy who was shot was the minion who had been clamoring outside to get his weapon.
He wanted to run after showing off?
Gun …
It was eerily quiet.
Those who played with guns on the streets were either lunatics or kidnappers.
There was once a big brother in the underworld who told Tiger these words of wisdom. Hu Zi had never touched a gun before, but he had always kept this sentence in mind.
No matter what kind of people they were, they were all extremely dangerous!
The Hongyi Gang was not the only gang in Wanghai City. If he offended a boss that he shouldn't have, no one would bury him even if he died. No one would stand up for an insignificant thug like him.
"Big, big brother, we can talk this out. There's no need to take out a gun." Hu Zi gulped. His face looked terrible as if he ate sh * t. Jiang Chen pointed the hot muzzle directly at his forehead, but he could only endure the pain and didn't dare to move at all.
His scalp was probably burned, but Hu Zi didn't dare to let out a fart.
"I want to talk, but you always interrupt me." Jiang Chen made an innocent expression and shrugged.
[This guy must be crazy!]
Hu Zi gulped again. He only laughed and tried to ease the tense atmosphere. He didn't know what to say.
"Okay, I don't want to waste time with you." Jiang Chen used the muzzle to knock on Hu Zi's forehead. Hu Zi, who noticed that Jiang Chen didn't close the safety, was drenched in cold sweat. This was the first time he, who had always boasted that he was not afraid of anything, felt such fear.
"Do you have the receipt?"
"Yes, I do." Hu Zi took out the receipt and handed it to Jiang Chen's empty hand.
"Bank account number?"
"Mhmm?" Hu Zi didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant.
"Pay me back. Are you stupid or what?" Jiang Chen jokingly scolded Hu Zi. The sudden increase in volume made Hu Zi's heart almost jump out of his chest.
"Pay me back?" Hu Zi asked in a trembling voice. He doubted his ears. He thought he would have to go back empty-handed.
"You basically sold me the receipt. Do you know what it means to transfer credit? What's wrong with your brain? Do I look like someone who doesn't pay for food? Mhmm? "Jiang Chen turned the gun and put it back into his pocket.
"No, you don't." Hu Zi didn't dare to say he did.
Tearing the receipt wouldn't solve the problem. Hongyi Gang wouldn't let this go. Jiang Chen wasn't afraid, but Xia Shiyu was a weak girl. Even if she was a bit forceful, there was no use in being forceful against unreasonable people.
Jiang Chen still had to deal with the apocalypse. He couldn't spend too much time on Xia Shiyu. After all, he was only helping out because he saw an acquaintance in trouble, and he did not intend to invest too much energy into it. One had to know that his time was very precious. He was planning to go to the legendary resort of Sanya in a few days.
Changing her creditor was the best solution Jiang Chen could think of.
Paying back the money would save the other party's face and give the situation some leeway.
Although he didn't care about the money, Jiang Chen didn't want to cancel her debt. Although the high interest was illegal, paying back the principal was within the legal framework. It would be a waste if he didn't use this opportunity to bully the female boss who always had a cold expression in front of him.
Also, Jiang Chen had other plans.
Hu Zi, who was overjoyed, immediately bowed and thanked Jiang Chen. After Jiang Chen paid the remaining 410,000, he asked his men to help the injured men and retreated.
He didn't dare to ask Jiang Chen for interest, and his boss wouldn't blame him. Since Jiang Chen had a gun, it was already nice of him to pay back the principal.
He didn't even dare to ask for Jiang Chen's name.
Looking at the direction Hu Zi left, Jiang Chen scorned and threw the pistol into the storage dimension.
He touched his face and stepped out of the alley.
[Eh, where did the blood come from?]
