524 The Next Step

Thank you readers!

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lu Benwei apologized profusely.

Just now, when Gao Shengqiang’s four subordinates passed by him, he was shocked.

Lu Benwei stood up and casually said, “I’ll go get another bowl of soup.”

The four of them did not care at first and let Lu Benwei go to the stall. When he came back to refill the bowl, he “accidentally” slipped and spilled the warm mutton soup all over the buzz-cut youth.

“Kid, don’t you have eyes when you walk?”

The buzz-cut youth flew into a rage and grabbed Lu Benwei by the collar.

Lu Benwei’s face was full of apology as he smiled apologetically. “Big Brother, I really didn’t do it on purpose. The floor is too slippery. How about this? I’ll compensate you with a new set of clothes later.”

As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person.

Seeing Lu Benwei’s good attitude of admitting his mistake, the buzz-cut gangster was too embarrassed to say anything and could only let go of Lu Benwei. Then, he did not care about Lu Benwei anymore. He gave his accomplices a look and turned to the side to clean up.

The second person was as thin as a hemp pole. He stood out and shouted at the two people who had just sighed and argued, “You two seem to know a lot about what happened last night?”

Their faces were as pale as paper. One of them said in a trembling voice, “I only saw this on TikTok this morning. It’s just hearsay.”

“Oh?” Is that so? Why do I think they look so similar to the people who attacked us last night?”

As soon as he finished speaking, that person knelt with a thud.

“Sir, you must’ve seen wrongly. I was at home the whole night! Also, even if you give me a hundred guts, I won’t dare to act rashly in front of Master Gao!”

After saying that, he even pulled his crazy companion here to kneel together.

“Master Gao is protecting the peace of Ha City. How could we attack him?”

“Boom!”

The youth kicked the two of them in the chest and shouted coldly, “You know that Master Gao’s guards have made contributions to Ha City, yet you dare to speak nonsense here?”

The two of them were kicked over, clutching their chests, and gasping for breath.

“We were wrong. Just tell us the figure that you want. As long as it’s within our acceptable range, we can give it to you!”

The atmosphere in the shop was very subtle.

Someone silently put on his hat, paid the bill, and left. He could not bear to watch the two of them being bullied for no reason. Some sighed, shook their heads, and continued eating.

Similar things happened every day in Ha City.

Gao Shengqiang was the underground emperor of Ha City. No one dared to say anything. If anyone were to speak nonsense and Gao Shengqiang’s subordinates heard it, they would encounter the current situation.

It seemed that his disciples were protecting his dignity, but, they were just using the tiger’s might to extort a huge sum of money. Many of Ha City’s citizens were affected.

“It’s easy to not pursue the matter with you.”

The four of them looked at each other and smiled. The leader of the hooligans stretched out five fingers.

“Five thousand?” the person kneeling on the ground said in a trembling voice.

“You want to settle it with 5,000 yuan? Do you think this is Ha City from ten years ago? It’s not like I don’t know Master Gao’s temper. If someone says bad things about him, he’ll at least lose an arm. Five thousand for an arm. Isn’t that too little?”

The thug’s face immediately turned cold, and he reached out to pinch the man’s ear. His thin body burst out with a powerful force and forcefully lifted the person kneeling on the ground.

The man grimaced in pain as tears rolled down his cheeks.

“I have parents and children waiting for my hands to support my family! As long as you don’t chop off my hand, everything will be fine.” As he spoke, he took out a wallet.

“There’s a bank card in this wallet. There are tens of thousands on it. Please take it!”

The thug grinned proudly and took the bank card.

“What’s the password?”

“The password is 524425”

However, the thug had no intention of letting go. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is that all?”

The person whose ear was being pulled asked in confusion, “Yes, that’s all. Sir, I’ve already paid you. Please let me go. My ears are about to fall off.”

At this time, his original accomplice, the one who was the most reckless, also hurriedly kowtowed, his expression very terrified.

“This matter started because of me. Please let my brother go!”

“Do you have the right to speak here?”

The remaining two gangsters each kicked the man on the left and right sides of his chest.

“Puff!”

The burly man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, knocking over a table. The mutton soup that had not been removed in time spilled on his body, and the milky white soup flowed down his head.

“Damn it!” The buzz-cut young man spat. “Thinking about how that guy spilled it all over me just now, did I let him off too easily?”

The remaining three ignored him and looked at the person whose ear was being pulled with mocking eyes.

“Do you think 50,000 is enough?” The youth laughed sinisterly.

The person who had his ear pulled shivered. “Sir, even if you break my bones, I won’t be able to gather 500,000 yuan!”

“Who said I had 500,000 yuan?” They laughed mockingly.

“Are we that shameless? You guys spoke ill of Master Gao. You know very well what your outcome will be. We’ll work together to put in a good word for Master Gao, and this matter will be over. But the four of us have contributed. Your 50,000 isn’t enough.”

The people whose ears were being pulled understood what they meant. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They wanted to take 50,000 yuan each. In the name of “hard work fee”, it was extortion.

The thug grinned, his eyes revealing a crafty look.

The person whose ear was being pulled was so angry that his nose was crooked, but there was nothing he could do.

...

At this moment, a warm liquid flowed down from the back of the young man’s neck and instantly soaked his entire body.

Lu Benwei’s voice sounded again.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! The ground is too slippery!”

“Why is it you again?” The thug was furious.

“Are you deliberately looking for trouble?”

When the buzz-cut gangster saw that it was Lu Benwei again, he was instantly furious.

“It’s you again!”

“I’m sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose!” Lu Benwei pretended to be innocent.

“F*ck, the first time, I didn’t hold it against you, but the second time, you spilled it on us. Is there such a coincidence in the world?”

The buzz-cut hooligan sensed danger at the first moment. He lifted the stool and threw it at him.

Seeing this, Lu Benwei punched out and shattered the stool.

“I say, brothers, you can clearly sit down and have a good talk. Why do you have to make a big fuss?”
