Chapter 428 - Caught A Couple of Thieves
Beauty and the Bodyguard
As a result, Tiandi developed a temper- he wouldnât have been so cocky without Uncle Yan, even with a gangster boss son like Ruoguang in the Northern district.
But Lin Yi was different- he was an existence that nullified his absolute trump card, the trump card he relied on!
âIt was more than just not being able to handle him, Uncle Yan didnât even do anything and Lin Yi slapped him away! It was an instant kill!â Ruoming shuddered just thinking about it. Lin Yi didnât look like heâd used any strength when slapping him- if he had, perhaps Uncle Yan might not even have a head anymore after landing from the slap!
âInstant killâ¦â Tiandiâs lips twitched. He thought that thereâd been a battle between the two before Uncle Yan lost, but from how things stood Lin Yi should be far, far stronger than Uncle Yanâ¦
âRuoming, you think we should buy some gifts and pay Lin Yi a visit? Apologize to him?â Tiandi asked with a sigh.
âI⦠I donât know⦠We canât right now, right?â Ruoming shook his head. âLin Yiâs all pissed right now, weâll just be walking to our graves⦠Letâs wait until things calm down, weâll go apologize then. It should be fine after that, right..?â
âYouâre right!â Tiandi nodded. âIâll see if I can pull some connections these days and go visit Uncle Yan, see if I can understand just how strong Lin Yi is!â
âYeah! Knowing thy enemy is key to victory!â Ruoming formed a proverb.
âMy ass! Even if you know how strong he is, it doesnât matter- we still canât win! Unless you know someone stronger than him.â Tiandi scolded. âJust us? We wonât be able to do a thing!!â
âAhh⦠Guess thereâs not much we can doâ¦â Ruoming wasnât too keen on just enduring this bullying- it made him uncomfortable now that the fear had settled.
Tiandi parked the car in front of the mall and let Ruoming off. Flower Bird and Fish Mall had been started by Tiandi, and with Ruoguangâs men keeping watch there usually werenât any problems, yielding him a couple dozen million yearly from just the rent. It was a business with no risks and only profit.
âFucking shit, who the hell parked this shitty car in my personal parking space?â Tiandi cursed with a frown. There wasnât an outlined space in front of the door, but cars would come and occupy it when there werenât any parking spots left.
But there were still other spaces, there werenât that many cars around! It was only natural that finding his personal spot taken would piss Tiandi off.
âFucking van. Iâll go find out what delivery company it belongs too and put them in their place, have Ruoguang fine them a little tomorrow.â Tiandi decided to vent his anger on somewhere else.
âWha?!â Ruoming looked at where his father was yelling at and almost tripped- he knew that van, it was Lin Yiâs!!!
âDad, please, stop⦠Stop yelling, look at that licence plateâ¦â Ruoming quickly tried to calm his father down, worried that Lin Yi might hear him.
âWhat about the licence plate? Whatâs so special about that plate?â Tiandi didnât care- he puffed up his belly and started walking into the mall.
âThatâs Lin Yiâs car!â Ruoming said. âLin Yiâs here at Flower Bird and Fish Mall?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat?!â Tiandi froze after hearing who the car belonged to- heâd almost went and gotten the van towed away by the security because he was pissed! He couldnât even imagine the consequences if that had taken place⦠He started getting soaked in cold sweat as he turned around to leave. âLetâs go, Ruoming⦠Letâs go somewhere elseâ¦â
Ruoming thought about it. He hadnât gotten his sapling yet, and it wasnât likely that heâd bump into Lin Yi so coincidentally⦠âWeâll go right to the office and come out after Lin Yi leaves?â
âThat works!â Tiandi nodded and walked into the mall with Ruoming. The security who was him called out loudly. âMister Zou!â
âShh! Donât say that!â Tiandi exploded- what the hell was this guy doing, what if Lin Yi had heard him?
The security guard paused, not quite understanding what was going on. He guessed that Tiandi might have come here undercover to see how the mall was doingâ¦
The guard thought that was pretty plausible, so he nodded. âAlright, Iâll stopâ¦â
Tiandi and Ruoming sneaked into the managerâs office like ghosts. The manager, Xie Fenpian, on the other hand, had just received a report from the security captain, informing him that heâd captured a guy and two pretty girls- theyâd investigated their background, and concluded that they werenât very powerful people judging by the van theyâd driven here in.
So, Fenpian prepared to go down and cop in a feel or two⦠It was a case of a stolen phone, so itâd be fine if he did a strip search, something Fenpian was more than willing to do! Naturally, he didnât dare go too far with this, since itâd cause big problems. Just strip searching a thief alone may be going overboard, but it wasnât too serious.
Fenpian was just getting excited when he raised his head to see Tiandi and Ruoming charge in- he jumped with a fright. Did they find out what he was doing?
But, according to Fenpianâs understanding, Tiandi himself wasnât a very good person either, always setting the younger girls in the company up for his own benefits⦠With a superior like that it was only natural that the subordinates would behave the same way.
Tiandiâs family Ruoguang and Ruoming, including his lackeys, were all pretty shitty people- Fenpian himself was only a tyrant because Ruoguang was fine with it!
Heâd been a gangster in the northern district- Ruoming started relying on him and assigned him the job of manager at the mall.
Remembering that Tiandi was the same sort of person, Fenpian didnât worry as much. âYouâre here, Mister Zou! I was just about to ask Guang Bro to share some good stuff with you!â
âGood stuff??â Tiandi blinked. Heâd been pretty pissed, but this good stuff might be able to comfort him a little.
âThe security team caught a couple of thieves- thereâs pretty girls in that group. Would you wanna search them, Mister Zou?â Fenpiang asked like a pervert.
âOh? Have you checked their backgrounds?â Tiandi asked after a pause. This was his hobby, after all, so if everything was fine these punching bags were perfect timing.
âNot much background, they all came in a run-down van, the type youâd find in a junkyard. Theyâre definitely nobodies!â Fenpian said.
âWait! What did you say? Run-down van?â Tiandi froze- heâd just been terrified by Lin Yiâs run-down van, so the keyword got his still sensitive heart thumping again. âWho are these thieves you caught? Tell me, who are they!!â
