They never expected to see him on the street today.
But what they saw was Xiang Yu with a serious face, as though they had done something wrong.
The skinny man, upon seeing Jiang Chao address Xiang Yu as the big brother, hurriedly said to Xiang Yu, “Big brother, you must stand up for me.
This store is mine, I bought it for five hundred thousand yuan, but now they are trying to seize my store with just one hundred thousand.
How am I supposed to live?”
The more the skinny man spoke, the more heartbroken he became, finally with red-rimmed eyes as if he had suffered a great injustice.
By this time, a crowd had already gathered around, as people enjoyed watching the excitement when they had nothing to do.
The more intense the dispute, the more amusement it provided.
There were people taking photos with their phones, and others taking selfies.
“Let’s talk inside,” Xiang Yu said coldly, and then stepped inside first.
The space inside was large, and there were areas that had already been destroyed, clearly the work of Jiang Chao and his group.
It was typical thuggish behavior, and Xiang Yu was very dissatisfied with what Jiang Chao had done.
Several people came in and then closed the door.
Xiang Yu found a chair to sit on and then, with a cold face, looked at Jiang Chao and asked, “Is what he said true?”
Jiang Chao could feel Xiang Yu’s fury and was somewhat panicked.
He had been glad to see Xiang Yu, but now the situation was .
Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan were also a bit puzzled.
Although the skinny, bespectacled man looked somewhat sleazy and didn’t seem like a good person, appearances can be deceiving.
If the other man was an honest businessman, then what Jiang Chao had done was indeed excessive.
Jiang Chao, looking at Xiang Yu, said with some urgency, “Big brother, don’t listen to his nonsense.
A year ago, a woman managed this store, a widow with a child.
This beast said he liked her and wanted to marry her, but it was all for the store.
After he swindled the store from her, he dumped the widow.
The mother and daughter were left destitute and eventually committed suicide by jumping into a river.”
“Really?” Xiang Yu asked the skinny man with doubt in his eyes.
The skinny man adjusted his glasses and then stated assertively, “It’s not that I cheated her out of the store, she offered it to me willingly.
I had no choice when our relationship fell apart, so, of course, we broke up.”
The way the skinny man spoke showed no sign of remorse, as if everything was a matter of course.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu felt furious inside.
The skinny man didn’t look like much, and indeed he wasn’t.
It seemed true that what is inside shows on the face; a bad heart naturally spawned a sleazy appearance.
Seeing Xiang Yu’s icy face, Jiang Chao lowered his head, thinking he had done something wrong, and said, “I’m sorry big brother, for causing you trouble.”
Jiang Chao’s brothers naturally also felt down.
It was rare for them to meet the big boss, and unexpectedly they had even made the boss angry.
Xiang Yu, seeing Jiang Chao’s guilt, quickly waved his hand and said, “You’re not wrong, I mistook you.”
After speaking, Xiang Yu turned to the skinny man and asked, “You say that you bought this store for five hundred thousand?”
The skinny man straightened his glasses and said, “Of course.
When she and I broke up, the breakup fee was five hundred thousand.
I took care of their mother and son for a while, so asking for five hundred thousand isn’t too much.
But in the end, I was magnanimous and took only the store, not her money.”
The skinny man spoke as if he was righteous and noble.
Xiang Yu laughed angrily.
He had seen shameless people before, but never someone this shameless, utterly despicable.
It was a pity for the mother and child to have been taken in by him.
“Now my brother wants to take over this store, what do you think?” Xiang Yu asked the skinny man suspiciously.
The skinny man thought Xiang Yu was here to enforce justice, which made him happy.
Then he took off his glasses, wiped them, and said pretentiously, “I bought it for 500,000 at the time, but now that the housing prices have gone up, I’m asking for 800,000.
But for your sake, big brother, I’ll take 700,000.
Consider the extra 100,000 as my treat for a meal.”
The skinny man was rather shrewd; he thought Xiang Yu was his god of wealth.
Jiang Chao’s face flushed with restraint upon hearing this, but with Xiang Yu present, he couldn’t lash out.
He had to listen to Xiang Yu’s decision.
When Xiang Yu heard the skinny man’s words, he burst out laughing.
He really couldn’t understand what had become of society, how such shameless people could exist.
“Beat him up,” Xiang Yu said, laughing heartily, suddenly pointing at the skinny man.
Jiang Chao didn’t catch on at first.
He looked at Xiang Yu, and then at the brothers behind him, and asked, “What did big brother just say?”
“Big brother said to beat him up,” one of them also said uncertainly.
“What the hell are you waiting for?
I’ve been fed up for ages,” Tie Zhuzi, seeing Jiang Chao hesitate, stepped forward ahead of the rest, and then slapped the skinny man hard across the face.
That’s when Jiang Chao finally realized.
He hadn’t misheard; the big brother did tell them to beat the man.
Unable to hold back any longer, he moved forward and started pummeling the guy.
They were all hot-blooded men who couldn’t stand this kind of sly weasel; not only did he deceive a woman’s feelings, but he also drove her to suicide.
As they cursed and assaulted him, the feeling was incredibly satisfying.
“Spread his legs apart,” Tie Zhuzi shouted at that moment.
Jiang Chao and the others knew what Tie Zhuzi intended to do.
They hesitated for a moment but still grabbed one leg each and spread them apart.
Without any hesitation, Tie Zhuzi kicked viciously toward the man’s groin.
Everyone shuddered involuntarily without hearing the sound of eggs cracking.
They were all men, and they valued that part of the body most; now, with Tie Zhuzi’s kick, it was likely the guy was either dead or ruined, and he wouldn’t be having a ‘happy’ life ever again.
The skinny man initially screamed in agony, but eventually passed out.
Tie Zhuzi, with a smug look on his face, said, “How was that kick of mine?
You guys are satisfied, right?”
Although Jiang Chao and the others didn’t say anything, they all felt extremely pleased.
This was the outcome they wanted.
Initially, when they were haggling with the skinny man, they felt suffocated.
And then with Xiang Yu there, they felt even more suffocated, as Xiang Yu seemed to be blaming them.
But now that feeling was gone, they were incredibly refreshed, and they all wanted to pull down the skinny man’s pants to see what became of the crushed eggs.
Xiang Yu, seeing the skinny man’s plight, felt no sympathy for him.
This was called retribution for one’s evil deeds.
“In the future, when you come across people , don’t be soft-handed—just give them this kind of treatment,” Xiang Yu said.
Jiang Chao was, of course, delighted to hear this from Xiang Yu; with his word, everything was easy to handle.
Xiang Yu looked around the shop, which spanned two floors and seemed quite nice.
He then turned to Jiang Chao and asked, “What exactly happened, how did you guys end up here?”
Jiang Chao gave Xiang Yu a smile, somewhat embarrassed.
“Just say what you need to, don’t beat around the bush,” Xiang Yu said with a smile…
