Chapter 286

“Xu Xu Damao, what kind of game are you playing? Why are you so decisive this time? Don’t even think about trying to fool us!”

“I’m telling you, if you’re planning to trick us into going for an interview and then run off on your own, you’d better watch your back!”

“We’ll go straight to the police, and let’s see if you can still survive in this Four-Nine City!”

Sha Zhu still had his guard up, continuing to threaten Xu Xu Damao, fearing that Xu Xu Damao was just messing with them.

Yi Yi Zhonghai also stared fixedly at Xu Xu Damao, trying to see what exactly Xu Xu Damao was thinking.

“Rest assured, I don’t have any money on me now, and I truly do need to earn money to support myself!”

“Besides, the incident with that private boat being investigated caused such a stir; everyone in Four-Nine City who knows what business I was in knows I lost money!”

“No one will lend me money anymore, so of course I want to find a stable job!”

Xu Xu Damao was all smiles at this moment, thinking that these two were incredibly stupid!

If he could find a way to make off with such a large shipment, those thousands of yuan would all be his, and he wouldn’t have to share a cent with Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

Afterward, Sha Zhu and Yi Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to agree and go to the interview with Xu Xu Damao.

Meanwhile.

Bang Geng and Jia Jia Zhangshi were in a miserable state; after returning with those thugs last night, they had suffered through a night of torture.

These thugs were counting on Jia Jia Zhangshi to make money for them, but they had no intention of putting up with her temper!

The moment Jia Jia Zhangshi started making demands—wanting good food, good drink, and a bed—she was slapped a few times and immediately became obedient!

The two of them didn’t even have a mat, sleeping on the floor of the room all night, and Jia Jia Zhangshi had developed a large lump on the back of her head from sleeping on the hard ground!

Watching these thugs eat their delicious breakfast, Bang Geng and Jia Jia Zhangshi were drooling!

Neither of them dared to say a word; after all, the brutal beating from last night had completely broken their spirits!

“Boss, are we still going to steal today? We already scouted the location for a whole day yesterday. If we don’t go today, the opportunity will be gone!”

“Steal what? It’s not even certain we’ll succeed after all that trouble!”

“The safest bet now is to teach this old hag how to extort people. Once she learns, we’ll have money coming in!”

“Anyway, if anything goes wrong, we’ll just let the two of them take the fall while we count the money from the sidelines!”

Meanwhile, after finishing breakfast, these people were thinking about how to get their hands on money.

Jia Jia Zhangshi didn’t dare say a word, though she was actually quite experienced in throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground.

But now that she was being held by a gang to do this, Jia Jia Zhangshi was still somewhat afraid.

“Old hag, come here. Remember what we told you! We already told you last night!”

“We’re going to take you two useless things to the places we scouted yesterday!”

“Whether we make money or not depends on you, you old bag of bones. You’d better put in some effort and work for us. If you dare to mess anything up, I’ll make sure you suffer!”

“Did you hear me? You must give it your all. If someone refuses to pay, you take this knife and stab yourself twice. I don’t believe they’ll dare not pay you!”

Afterward, the thugs called Jia Jia Zhangshi over and told her what she should do.

However, seeing the rusty little knife, Jia Jia Zhangshi felt a bit of fear in her heart!

Although she had done plenty of heartless things back at the Sihe Academy, this was the first time she’d been asked to stab herself.

If she didn’t stab herself properly and ended up killing herself, Jia Jia Zhangshi would regret it until her intestines turned green.

She didn’t trust these maniacs to take her to the hospital either!

“Big brothers, I’m an expert at extorting money, how about we don’t use the knife?”

“Rest assured, I definitely have the ability to get money from others. If they don’t pay up, I’ll make sure they can’t get anything done!”

“But this knife is unnecessary. If you accidentally stab the wrong place, it could cost a life. When the police come, it won’t be easy for you to clean up!”

Jia Jia Zhangshi had agreed, but she really didn’t want to stab herself!

Before she could finish, she was slapped in the face, and then the man held the rusty knife against her neck, nearly cutting her.

“What kind of attitude is that? You’re trying to negotiate with me now? You’ve been feeding that damn useless grandson of yours for years, and I haven’t even asked you for money!”

“Do you think this is the old days? With that fat pig face of yours, people are disgusted just looking at you. You think you can get money just by crying a bit? Keep dreaming!”

“Honestly keep this knife on you. If someone dares to call the police, you stab yourself once. Did you hear me?”

“Don’t you dare fail me at the critical moment. If you don’t dare to stab yourself when the time comes, I’ll stab you a few more times when you get back!”

These thugs clearly loathed Jia Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Jia Zhangshi could only tremble as she took the knife, not daring to say a word.

Bang Geng hid behind his grandmother, acting like a complete coward, not even daring to lift his head.

Afterward.

Jia Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng were taken by these people to a bustling commercial street in Four-Nine City.

This street was teeming with people; with the economic boom, clothing stores, jewelry shops, and restaurants lined the entire street.

Although it wasn’t the peak time for foot traffic, there were already quite a few people coming and going!

The place they had scouted was a jewelry store, and just looking at the storefront, it was clearly not an ordinary one!

They had a sharp eye, knowing that the easiest places to get money on this street were these large shops. If Jia Jia Zhangshi made a scene at the entrance, the shop wouldn’t be able to do business.

However, Jia Jia Zhangshi was still a bit afraid when she saw the fierce-looking security guards at the door!

“Alright, remember what I told you when we arrived. Go over there, pretend to trip, and when the manager comes out, grab her leg and make them pay!”

“I’ve already investigated this shop; it’s the most upscale one on the street. A single piece of jewelry costs dozens of yuan!”

“You’d better bite down hard. If you don’t get 100 yuan, you can wait to be stabbed three times when you get back!”

Not far from the jewelry store, these people warned Jia Jia Zhangshi repeatedly with dark expressions!

Jia Jia Zhangshi could only nod earnestly, not daring to say anything else!

“And Bang Geng, be sharp later. Put on a good show with your grandmother, and cry as hard as you can!”

“If you can get this 100 yuan on your first try, you’ll have plenty to eat. Otherwise, just wait to die!”

Seeing Bang Geng’s cowardly look, the leader felt annoyed.

Just like that, as the crowds on the street grew, Jia Jia Zhangshi, clutching her slightly rusty knife, tremblingly arrived at the entrance of the jewelry store.

The shop assistant at the entrance was dressed in a formal uniform and was quite polite to Jia Jia Zhangshi.

“Old lady, are you looking for some jewelry? I can help you pick some out. Are you looking for bracelets or necklaces? We have many imported from abroad. Are you picking them out for your son or daughter?”

The assistant’s attitude was very polite, clearly showing no disdain for Jia Jia Zhangshi’s ragged clothes.

But Jia Jia Zhangshi felt no gratitude; instead, she thought that since the assistant was so polite, she could bully her!

Just as the assistant reached out to help Jia Jia Zhangshi inside, Jia Jia Zhangshi sat down on the ground, and before the assistant could react, she was tightly clutching the assistant’s leg!

“Oh my, someone help! This little slut hit me! She saw I was a scavenger, looked down on me, and pushed me to the ground!”

“My leg won’t move! She hit me! Help! Their shop is bullying customers, she’s bullying me because I’m a scavenger!”

“My leg hurts so much! It’s all their fault! I’m not buying anything, I’m leaving now, don’t hit me!”

Jia Jia Zhangshi began to wail at the top of her ugly voice, holding onto the assistant’s leg and refusing to let go!

The female assistant was startled by Jia Jia Zhangshi’s sudden action and had no idea what was happening.

Just a moment ago, Jia Jia Zhangshi had been perfectly fine, and she had only intended to help her up, yet Jia Jia Zhangshi had acted like a madwoman, throwing herself to the ground and grabbing her leg.

“Old lady, what are you doing? I didn’t hit you! I was just trying to help you inside, how could I have hit you? Please, get up, get up!”

The assistant hadn’t realized what was happening yet, still thinking Jia Jia Zhangshi had misunderstood her!

Now that more and more people were gathering to watch, Jia Jia Zhangshi became even more arrogant!

Thinking the assistant was just a young girl she could easily bully, she began to scream even more shamelessly!

“Hmph, you hypocritical little slut, you’re still lying! You just pushed me down!”

“You saw I was dressed in rags and didn’t want me in the shop. You pretended to help me, but you actually threw me to the ground! You look down on people!”

“Help! Someone come and see! Someone is bullying an old woman! I came to buy jewelry for my grandson and his wife, and she looks down on me and won’t let me in!”

“What kind of era is this? You’re still doing things like this! You won’t let an old woman like me live! I’ll die right here at your shop entrance today!” Jia Jia Zhangshi was frantically smearing the assistant’s reputation, looking truly repulsive!

Not far away, the thugs were speechless; they hadn’t expected Jia Jia Zhangshi to be so skilled at throwing tantrums and acting like a rogue without any instruction!

Seeing Jia Jia Zhangshi’s disgusting behavior, everyone wanted to go up and slap her a few times to vent their anger!

Meanwhile, the crowd gathering to watch the spectacle was confused about the truth!

“Is it true? How can your jewelry store bully an old lady? Things like this still happen these days?”

“Exactly! The old lady might have saved money for years to buy jewelry for her grandson and his wife. If you won’t sell to her, fine, but why push her?”

“She’s wailing so loudly, what if she really hurt something? Maybe we should call the police and let them take her to the hospital to see what’s going on!”

Jia Jia Zhangshi’s extortion was so fast that the crowd hadn’t seen the truth and really thought she had been wronged.

The assistant became increasingly panicked, never expecting that her kindness would lead to being framed by Jia Jia Zhangshi!

Seeing that the crowd didn’t know the truth, the assistant was frantic and didn’t know what to say!
