Zhang Xiaoshan, holding Jiang Man, had just walked out of the courtyard when he bumped into a thin man coming from the opposite direction.
Both parties were startled for a moment.
Zhang Xiaoshan recognized at a glance that the man was the driver of the commercial vehicle he had seen earlier.
The driver, glancing at Zhang Xiaoshan with his face covered by a kerchief and catching a glimpse of his two fallen comrades in the courtyard, and then seeing Jiang Man held in Zhang Xiaoshan’s arms, instantly realized something was wrong and twisted around to run away.
No sooner had the man turned to run than Zhang Xiaoshan, quick as lightning, kicked him hard in the butt, sending him sprawling to the ground, face down.
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly advanced and stepped on the driver’s back.
"Big brother, please spare me, please spare me. I’m just a lackey, a nobody. It was all Jinya’s and Mr. Zhang’s idea. Go after them for this, please spare me..."
The driver was a spineless coward; he cowered before Zhang Xiaoshan even got serious with him.
"I’ll spare you, but you have to do as I say, or else I’ll silence you permanently."
Zhang Xiaoshan intentionally intimidated the driver.
The driver, terrified, had gone deathly pale and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, mighty one, please spare my life..."
Half an hour later, a sapphire blue BMW X7 SUV pulled to a stop on a small street in the town of Wanshan County.
"Big brother, I—I’ve brought you back, could you... please let me go?" the driving driver begged continuously for mercy.
Zhang Xiaoshan, sitting in the passenger seat, wasted no words and chopped the driver sharply on the neck, making the driver’s eyes roll back as he instantly lost consciousness.
After confirming that the driver was unconscious, Zhang Xiaoshan got out of the vehicle, carrying Jiang Man, and weaved in and out of the old district’s alleys.
Ten minutes later, having ensured they weren’t being followed and that there were no surveillance cameras in the vicinity, Zhang Xiaoshan removed his kerchief and entered a small lodging house.
He was concerned that Zhang Jian wouldn’t give up and would try to find out who had saved Jiang Man tonight, so he deliberately avoided large hotels. A small guesthouse didn’t require ID registration, making him untraceable to Zhang Jian.
The reception area of the guesthouse was a simple affair, a small room with a bed and a counter, and with nobody on the bed at that moment.
Zhang Xiaoshan placed Jiang Man sitting on the small bed and went looking for the owner in the inn.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, he saw the light on in one of the rooms and heard sounds of commotion coming from inside.
Zhang Xiaoshan, now experienced in these matters, immediately understood what was going on inside.
Before he could leave, the rowdy noises inside abruptly ended.
Next came a burst of noisy arguing.
"Wasn’t it agreed at one hundred and fifty? Why only give one hundred?"
"Damn it, you should be grateful I’m giving you one hundred. Get lost!"
An angry shout from a man followed, then he pushed the door open and walked out from inside.
A man in his forties with a brutish face emerged.
"No way, you have to give me the full amount." The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
As soon as the older man exited, a woman in her forties quickly followed him out. Her hair was still a bit messy, and she immediately grabbed the old man’s arm.
The old man didn’t hold back, swinging his hand and delivering a slap that sent the woman to the ground.
"Damn it, a filthy whore. You should be glad I’m paying you at all. Block me again and I’ll smash your shop!"
"Who do you think you are, bickering and whining?"
The old man cursed at the woman and stormed off with big strides.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately understood what was happening. He really didn’t want to get involved in such affairs, and given the special circumstances of the night, he didn’t want to draw attention to himself.
"Young man, are you staying at the inn?"
"Hehe, all by yourself? Want to have some fun?"
The woman who had been slapped, now sitting on the ground, saw Zhang Xiaoshan, swiftly wiped away her tears, stood up as if nothing had happened, and grabbed Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm. She even gave Zhang Xiaoshan a seductive look as she spoke.
