The other guy asked, "What happened next?"
Qian Juan said, "We're both girls and we were scared out of our wits. In the end, they asked us to compensate them with a thousand dollars."
Sun Hao said angrily, "That was extortion. Why didn't you call the police?"
Liu Xuan lowered her head and said, "We were in a rush for an interview, so we didn't call the police. The less trouble, the better. I've checked on the internet. It's useless to call the police. This is a financial dispute. The police don't care, and there's no direct management, so there's no place to file a complaint."
Qian Juan continued, "Sigh, it's our fault for being inexperienced. Who would have thought that we would encounter such a disgusting thing? Anyway, we'll just stay away from these hooligans in the future."
Sun Hao said, "Kind people get bullied, and kind horses get ridden. We can't just let it go. We'll go look for them later. Real estate agents usually close at nine o 'clock. We'll go there later. We must get justice."
"Don't, we're all foreigners. We won't get anywhere with them. Just be careful in the future." Qian Juan was small, tanned, and thin. She took off her black-rimmed glasses. "I'm going to work tomorrow, so I don't have time for this. We'll each take five hundred dollars. It's not a lot."
Li Lan said, "Let's eat first. We'll talk later."
Seeing that Sun Hao was about to speak, he poured him a glass of beer. "Here, drink."
Probably because of Liu Xuan's experience, everyone was a little unhappy. They felt aggrieved that they couldn't help their classmate in trouble.
After eating a little, they were about to leave. Li Lan went to pay the bill.
When they reached the school gate, he deliberately lagged behind and walked side by side with Liu Xuan. To everyone's surprise, he, who never smoked, actually lit a cigarette.
Liu Xuan asked, "Don't you hate people smoking?"
Li Lan said, "I'm in cahoots with them. Haha. Oh, right, tell me where the shop is and where the rented apartment is. "
"No, I won't trouble you guys. There's no need to fuss over it." Liu Xuan hurriedly refused.
Li Lan said, "Whose family's money comes from nowhere? We have to find it. "
He more or less understood the family circumstances of his classmates, but the most difficult one was Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan had never told anyone about it, but he happened to see Liu Xuan's poverty subsidy application on the teacher's desk once when he went to the teacher's office.
Liu Xuan was born in the mountainous area of Qianxi. Her parents were farmers. Her mother suffered from epilepsy, and her father, in addition to farming, would occasionally go out to work as a laborer at a construction site. She was the eldest of the three siblings in the family.
"I'm useless …" Liu Xuan couldn't hold back her tears.
She thought of her father at the dusty construction site on a hot summer day. She was cheated of her father's hard-earned money.
Li Lan comforted her, "Don't cry. It's not a big deal. Tell me the address and I'll get it back for you. Go back to the dormitory first and I'll tell you the news tomorrow morning."
"No, I'll go with you," Liu Xuan said firmly. "If they don't give it to me, I'll fight them to the death."
Li Lan said, "It's not that exaggerated."
Sun Hao had been listening intently from the side. He said excitedly, "I'll go with you. I'll teach those black intermediaries a lesson!"
Li Lan said, "It's not like we're going to fight. Don't cause a ruckus after drinking a little. Go back to sleep. I'll go with Liu Xuan."
"Don't, we'll go too …"
"Yeah, there's strength in numbers."
“.....”
The five or six boys who were walking in front were attracted by Sun Hao's shout. They all wanted to go with him to get justice for Liu Xuan.
Li Lan said, "We've all drunk and our faces are red. If we go and block people's shops, they'll think we're here to cause trouble. Even if we're in the right, we won't be able to explain ourselves. You guys go back quickly. I'll take Liu Xuan. It's settled."
A taxi happened to be coming out of the school. He stopped it and let Liu Xuan get in before he sat in the front passenger seat.
"I'll go too." Sun Hao had already opened the door and sat beside Liu Xuan in the back seat.
Li Lan couldn't drive him away anymore, so he said to the driver, "East Fourth North Street."
Under Liu Xuan's directions, the car stopped at an intersection. Just as they got out of the car, another taxi stopped behind them. At a glance, it was their classmate who they had just broken up with.
Li Lan asked a fatty, "Didn't I tell you guys to go back and rest? You still have things to do tomorrow. "
The fatty said, "Are you looking down on me? My uncle is in the Dongcheng Police Force. I'm not afraid of anyone. "
Chen Yadong was the most important person in the class. He was fat and amiable, but he had a bad habit of bragging. Anyway, according to him, the seven aunts and eight aunts were either cadres or leaders.
"Yeah, we can all help." The other boys had already rolled up their sleeves, looking like they would start a fight if they didn't get along.
Li Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were obviously a bunch of nerds, polite, and well-behaved. Since young, when had other people's children ever fought with others?
Therefore, he didn't count on them at all.
"You guys just wait here. If something goes wrong, you guys can go over, okay?" Li Lan said with a smile, "We're really not going to fight. If there are too many people, it'll be hard to explain. I'll only bring Liu Xuan. The rest of you wait here."
The others thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Chen Yadong said, "Then we'll wait for you. If you dare to make a move, beat him up."
Li Lan laughed, "If I fall down, don't try to help me. I won't be able to get up without two hundred thousand, understand? Just stay here and watch the show. "
The others laughed.
Li Lan waved at Liu Xuan and the two of them walked towards a real estate agency called Dadu Real Estate.
Before entering the door, Li Lan said, "Turn on the camera and hold your phone in your hand. Don't let them find out."
Liu Xuan nodded nervously.
The front of the real estate agency wasn't big. There were two rows of tables in the front and back, with six computers on them. There were men and women sitting there, four of them in white shirts and blue ties. Seeing Li Lan come in, a girl came over with a smile. When she saw Liu Xuan behind him, her expression immediately changed.
The girl gave a look to a boy with big ears behind her. The big ears quickly got up, pushed open a small door, and went inside.
The moment the door opened, Li Lan realized that there was a group of people sitting inside. When he looked at them, they were also looking at him.
A tall man with big shoulders and a thick waist walked out and looked down at the two of them. "What's the matter, little girl? Are you here to find help?"
Liu Xuan tried hard to look at the tall man and said, "You have to pay me back."
The tall man said, "Haven't I already explained it to you this afternoon? University students can't be reasonable, right? Have you been studying for nothing? "
Liu Xuan choked and couldn't say a word.
Li Lan sighed inwardly as he listened to the other party's thick and unruly aura. He was exactly the same as his uncle's.
Therefore, he said, "You want to be reasonable? The property management fees, heating fees, security fees, and cleaning fees are obviously collected by the real estate agency. Since when did real estate agents have this function? "
The tall man rolled up his sleeves intentionally, revealing the tattoo on his shoulder. He said teasingly, "We accepted it and handed it over to the real estate agency. Is there a problem?"
Li Lan said, "There's a big problem. Even if you accepted it, why didn't you write it in black and white on the contract? Bullying a girl who has just graduated gives you a peace of mind? "
"You're quite bold, aren't you?" The man suddenly raised his voice. Four more men came out of the small room and leaned against the wall with their arms crossed.
"I don't have the guts like you. How dare you extort a little girl so openly?"
The tattooed man snorted coldly. "Who's extorting? Do you university students even know what is called the rules? Bro's time isn't money. If she doesn't rent the house, what about wasting our time? If it weren't for the fact that she's a little girl, she wouldn't be able to leave the house so easily with a thousand yuan. "
With that said, he took a step towards Li Lan. Li Lan didn't take a step back.
He pushed Liu Xuan out of the door and moved a chair to block the door. Then, he sat down and crossed his legs. "Today, I have to refund the money, even if I don't want to refund the money. Otherwise, I won't leave."
Coincidentally, an auntie came over with a small bag. He turned around and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is an illegal agent. I'm looking for a refund from them."
The auntie looked at the tattooed man's angry face and turned away in fright.
The tall man said fiercely, "You're deliberately looking for trouble, aren't you?"
Liu Xuan's chubby little face trembled in fear when she saw the man's attitude. She no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning. She whispered to Li Lan, "Why don't we just forget about it?"
Li Lan shook his head lightly and pouted at the tall man, too lazy to say anything.
