Chapter 140: You Can't Beat This Person!

~7 min read 1,269 words

Li Qinglan got the wrong person again this time.

She looked at Li Yihu with trembling fear, yet she shouted Li Jiaci's name.

Li Yihu stepped back two steps, turned to look at Li Jiaci and asked, "Brother, what should we do with her?"

"Jiaci, don't abandon me!"

"I miss you so much I'm about to go crazy!"

"They're all bullying me, throwing stones and snow clumps at me!"

"Can you take me home?"

Li Qinglan knelt on the ground and crawled forward.

But in the blink of an eye, she grabbed Wang Lan's pant leg.

Wang Lan is different from the others.

He harbors an extremely strong shadow toward her.

"Let... let go!"

Wang Lan instinctively shook that leg.

Watching that person being flung to the ground.

He immediately assumed a defensive stance, gritted his teeth, and his fists clenched with a creaking sound.

Zhao Chen grabbed him and pulled him behind, blocking his view.

"All right, Xiao Liu, calm down, calm down!"

Li Jiaci's face was grim.

He said to the several people, "We didn't send her to the station; that's already lenient. Leave her some money, let her wander outside, and slowly atone for her sins."

Li Jiaci threw the ten yuan onto the ground.

Seeing that, Zhao Chen reached into his pocket again, pulled out a fifty-yuan note, and threw it over as well.

Li Jiaci put his arm around Wang Lan's shoulder and led him out of the alley.

The several people behind followed one after another.

Li Qinglan watched their retreating backs, staggered as she tried to catch up, but before she could take a few steps, she tripped over a brick hidden in the snow and fell to the ground.

Snowflakes scattered everywhere.

Li Qinglan stretched out her hand and cried out, "Jiaci, please don't abandon me!"

No one responded to her words.

……

A ray of sunshine shone upon the earth.

Although the snow hadn't melted, it made people feel warm all over.

Li Jiaci sent his brothers back to the factory, then turned and drove off to look for a new house.

Hopefully we can settle down quickly before the Spring Festival.

We spent the morning browsing.

All the several properties introduced by the agent we have viewed one by one.

Li Jiaci stood on the street, feeling gloomy, puffing on cigarette after cigarette.

The agent stood beside him, equally gloomy.

"Mr. Li, what kind of house do you actually want?"

"I've been in the business for over ten years, and I've never seen a client with so many demands!"

"The few apartments we just looked at are great!"

"The price is cheap, and the landlord has kept them clean!"

"You can move in with just your bags!"

"Sigh..."

Upon hearing these words.

Li Jiaci gave him a cold glance.

"Am I asking too much?"

The agent chuckled lightly: "If you say it's not much, then it's not much—who made you my God?"

Li Jiaci vexedly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"The first apartment has orientation issues—half the rooms get no sunlight!"

"The second apartment has aging, moldy walls; you'd have to renovate it yourself before moving in!"

"The third apartment is too close to the garbage dump!"

"The fourth apartment building has three households doing rush renovations!"

"The fifth apartment—"

"Actually I'm still quite satisfied, except the area is too small to fit our six brothers!"

"I've already told you about all these problems!"

"If there really isn't a suitable place, I won't waste your time looking for the next God!"

"The agent's fee is 200 yuan—take it and get lost!"

Li Jiaci swiftly took out 200 yuan.

He shoved it into the agent's hand and waved him off impatiently.

The agent, having gotten the money as wished, didn't consider the trip wasted; his face instantly broke into a fawning smile.

He said to Li Jiaci: "Then we'll meet again, Mr. Li—feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything!"

This introduction fee, by current standards, is already quite generous.

When the introducer left, his heart bloomed with joy.

But Li Jiaci couldn't feel happy.

He walked on the sparsely populated winter Jie Tou, unbeknownst to gods and ghosts, heading toward the Splendid Song and Dance Hall.

The Song and Dance Hall was unusually quiet during the day.

Only at night would this street be brightly lit and extraordinarily lively.

Walking on the road, one could feel the ground violently trembling to the rhythm of the sound waves.

Splendid Song and Dance Hall.

Li Jiaci stopped, staring blankly at the glowing sign above.

"How did I come here?"

Only heard a bang.

The door in front was suddenly pushed open by two enforcers.

They carried out a drunkard beaten black and blue.

Seeing Li Jiaci standing at the door, they shouted at him fiercely to scram.

Li Jiaci stood still, not moving.

One of the enforcers shook the flesh on his face, pointed fiercely at his nose and said: "Damn, did old man give you face? Ah? A good dog doesn't block the road, damn, even a dog is smarter than you!"

"Long ge, why waste words with him? Just kick him away!"

Another enforcer said with an evil smile.

Li Jiaci also laughed.

Laughing, these two guys are really damn foolish.

"Hey? Long ge, he actually dares to mock you!"

Damn it!

"In broad daylight, someone comes to cause trouble, right?"

"Alright, Long ge will help you loosen your muscles and bones!"

The two left the drunkard behind.

They cracked their knuckles and walked over.

Li Jiaci hastily raised his hand, saying: "Wait a moment!"

"What's up, got scared, little brother?"

The enforcer called Long ge was extremely smug.

The Splendid Song and Dance Hall alone has over a hundred enforcers.

Moreover, Li Jiaci's last visit was already several months ago.

It's normal for someone not to know him.

Li Jiaci shook his head.

"You'd better think it through!"

"I am the brother of your boss!"

"For every bruise on my body, you must break an arm!"

"How many arms do you have to break?"

Upon hearing this.

Long ge pointed at Li Jiaci's nose, laughing exaggeratedly.

"Hahaha!"

"My boss's brother is sleeping inside!"

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Still trying to scare me?"

"Damn, I'll tell you, someone like you who pretends, I'd dare to fight ten of you!"

The commotion made by the two at the door was not small.

Soon, a crowd of enforcers was drawn over.

They crowded behind Long ge, looking at Li Jiaci with various expressions.

Among them was a familiar-looking kid.

That person also noticed Li Jiaci; just a glance, and his expression changed immediately.

"Wait... wait a moment!"

Long ge cursed, turned and glared at that guy, asking: "Aren't you the newbie who does odd jobs? Not sweeping the toilet, what mischief are you making here? Want to get beaten crazy? Then I'll oblige: first cripple you, then beat you to death!"

The other party pushed through the crowd and strode a few steps to Long ge's front.

"Long ge, you really can't beat this person!"

"Damn, what are you pointing fingers here for?"

"He's Li Jiaci, haven't you heard that name?"

"Damn, even if he were the heavenly emperor today, he'd still get a beating!"

"I, Cao, this damn fool..."

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Long ge was so angry at the guy in front that his veins bulged.

"I say..."

That guy came up close and shouted loudly into Long ge's ear: "You damn fool! Did you hear that clearly? Big damn—fool!"
