Chapter 417

Several days later.

The brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu found Gao Qiqiang late at night.

On the rooftop.

Tang Xiaolong was clearly somewhat afraid of Gao Qiqiang.

He trembled slightly as he took a stack of cash wrapped in an envelope from his jacket and placed it on the coffee table in front of Gao Qiqiang.

"This is... the money the boss gave us after we finished the job..."

"What did that boss say?"

Gao Qiqiang looked at Tang Xiaolong with a calm expression, his inner thoughts unreadable.

But the latter was so unnerved by Gao Qiqiang's gaze that he swallowed hard.

"He said... just act like nothing ever happened."

"Does he know about me?"

"He doesn't..."

"That's good. He doesn't know me, and I don't know him. That's best for everyone."

A faint smile appeared on Gao Qiqiang's face, still calm.

He reached out, picked up the envelope on the table, took out the thirty thousand yuan in cash inside, and held it up.

"Wasn't it twenty thousand?"

"Well... the boss said... the job was... done well, so he gave an extra ten thousand."

Tang Xiaohu, standing to the side, stammered as he explained.

But under Gao Qiqiang's calm, turning gaze,

Tang Xiaohu lowered his head.

Tang Xiaolong, standing nearby, coughed twice before telling the truth.

"Brother Qiang, actually, it was thirty thousand from the start..."

"We wanted to earn a little for ourselves, so we told you it was twenty thousand..."

"But we... didn't put in any effort on this job..."

"The money is all yours..."

Tang Xiaolong finished speaking, hesitating.

The subtext of his words was very clear.

This thirty thousand belongs to Gao Qiqiang, drawing a clear line.

The two brothers would act as if they had never participated in this matter.

Gao Qiqiang immediately understood what Tang Xiaolong meant and said expressionlessly,

"That's not right, you two brothers put in a lot of effort."

"I'll take my share."

Gao Qiqiang picked up twenty thousand.

He threw the remaining stack of cash onto the table, his attitude clear.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaolong's face suddenly became flustered, and he hurriedly signaled his brother to get up.

"We... we're leaving, Brother Qiang..."

"Did I go alone?"

But Gao Qiqiang's voice made the two of them freeze, their expressions filled with fear.

Gao Qiqiang held the money and looked straight at Tang Xiaolong.

"Didn't the three of us go together?"

His calm gaze was filled with immense pressure!

Even the audience behind the screen felt a chill down their spines!

At this moment,

Gao Qiqiang seemed like a completely different person!

Carrying absolute pressure and authority!

Making people afraid to look him in the eye!

Instantly, upon hearing Gao Qiqiang's words,

Tang Xiaolong's expression stiffened.

He dared not meet Gao Qiqiang's gaze.

At this moment, Gao Qiqiang's attitude was very firm.

The deed was done by the three of them together.

Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu shouldn't think about saving their own skins!

After a few seconds of mental preparation,

Tang Xiaolong, under the weight of his fear, picked up the ten thousand yuan and stammered out his loyalty.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang..."

"Taking this money... we are now on the same boat..."

"My brother and I will listen to Brother Qiang from now on!"

Watching the two brothers stand stiffly and pledge their loyalty,

Gao Qiqiang nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his hand to signal them to leave.

Under the illumination of the rooftop lights,

Gao Qiqiang's profile was lit up, but the other side remained dark and obscure.

As if foreshadowing that he had already stepped into the darkness.
