Jin Qianbao nodded with satisfaction, "Ah Jian, you've handled this well. The money you owe me is cleared, and you can take the property deed later."
"Brother Bao, I'm not in a hurry to take back the property deed..."
Li Zijian stammered.
"Hmm?"
Jin Qianbao looked at him, not understanding.
"I want to mortgage that old house again and borrow some money to make a comeback."
Li Zijian spoke much more fluently this time.
"Hahahaha, no problem, we'll settle the accounts later!"
Facing such a fat sheep, Jin Qianbao didn't know what to say, he could only thank the ancestors for providing him with a meal.
"Li Zijian, what do you mean by this?"
Li Ziqing asked with a frown.
"Li Ziqing, your surname is Li, and mine is also Li!"
Li Zijian sneered, "We're all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing games with me? Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"If I use your money to redeem the property deed, will you still return it to me?"
Li Zijian, to be honest, couldn't be called smart. If he were smart, he wouldn't have fallen into Jin Qianbao's hands.
But to call him foolish, he wasn't that foolish. At least in guessing Li Ziqing's thoughts, he showed unusual acuity.
"Heh, then what's the meaning of you bringing me here?"
Li Zijian said he was entrusted by Brother Bao to bring Li Ziqing here.
But Li Ziqing had no prior connection with this person named Jin Qianbao. Why would he have himself brought here?
There was definitely a conspiracy, but Li Ziqing wasn't afraid at all, after all, Chen Xiao was by his side.
Chen Xiao was also in no hurry to make a move, he also wanted to see what these clowns were up to.
"You'll have to ask Brother Bao about this. I'm only responsible for bringing you here."
Li Zijian acted as if he was uninvolved.
"We'll talk about our business later."
Saying that, Li Ziqing's gaze fell on Jin Qianbao, sizing him up, and said, "I'll give you thirty seconds. Two things: first, hand over the property deed of my ancestral home, and second, tell me why Li Zijian brought me here."
Hearing Li Zijian speak to Brother Bao like that, Li Zijian's eyes widened, "Li Ziqing, do you know who you're talking to? Do you know where this is? This is the Imperial City, not your small Jiangcheng! You won't get away with it here!"
Li Ziqing glanced at the time, then continued to look at Jin Qianbao, "His words wasted five seconds of your time, now you have twenty seconds left."
"Hehehe, you little girl are quite interesting."
Jin Qianbao stroked his chin with a sly smile, "On my turf, it's not like no one dares to talk to me like this, but all the people who talked to me like this are now dead..."
"Alright, thirty seconds are up."
Li Ziqing had been watching the time, "You have no chance."
"Hahahaha, I have no chance?"
Jin Qianbao burst into laughter, "I really don't know what you're talking about!"
Following his laughter, a group of thugs in suits suddenly rushed into the office.
These people were all tall and burly, with fierce expressions, clearly Jin Qianbao's henchmen.
Chen Xiao sighed helplessly. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he dealt with such minor pests.
"The property deed is in the safe, I'll go get it for you."
Chen Xiao said calmly to Li Ziqing, then walked towards the safe.
Jin Qianbao was stunned. He had never seen anyone so arrogant.
Moreover, how did he know the property deed was in the safe?
"Damn it, attack!"
Jin Qianbao roared.
How dare he be arrogant on his turf! He had to let the other party know who he was!
As he roared, the group of minor pests immediately swarmed towards Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao could have killed them all in an instant, turning them into bloody mist.
But Chen Xiao didn't do that. Firstly, it was too shocking, and secondly, it would lack deterrence.
So Chen Xiao adopted the most primitive fighting style, with every punch and kick landing on the opponent.
Chen Xiao couldn't remember how long it had been since he used this kind of fist-to-flesh fighting.
He could swear to Buddha that he was really holding back his strength... If anyone was to blame, it was these minor pests who couldn't take a hit. After a few punches, corpses littered the ground.
Even those with the lightest injuries were paralyzed, unable to gesture with their lower halves for the rest of their lives.
Chen Xiao didn't care. They were dead, but they were just scum anyway.
Li Zijian's eyes widened. He finally understood why Li Ziqing took a liking to Chen Xiao. This little doctor was too damn good at fighting!
Jin Qianbao's eyes also sharpened. He knew he had messed with a tough opponent this time.
He had been in the underworld for so many years, and the reason he had been safe was not because he was fierce, but because he knew not to clash eggs against rocks.
There were people who dared to confront him head-on, but those people usually didn't live past the second episode in TV shows.
Only bullying those weaker than himself was his survival strategy as an old hand.
After dealing with the group of minor pests, Chen Xiao continued towards the safe.
Jin Qianbao's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Buddy, only I know the password to the safe. Without the password, you can't open it!"
Jin Qianbao knew how important the property deed was to Li Ziqing, so he wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to get a chance to escape.
"Let's make a deal. I'll open the safe for you, and you let me go. From now on, we'll mind our own business. What do you think?"
Jin Qianbao said very straightforwardly.
However, upon hearing his words, Li Zijian was completely stunned.
Brother Bao was... begging him for mercy?
Brother Bao still had the property deed as a shield, so what about him?
In an instant, Li Zijian felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and a chill went through him from the inside out.
Chen Xiao smiled, completely ignoring Jin Qianbao, and came to the safe, disdainfully saying, "I can't open it?"
"Buddy, don't waste your energy. This safe was custom-made for me abroad. Even an atomic bomb can't blow it up. It's impossible to open it by brute force, so give up!"
Brother Bao said with great certainty.
However, he watched as Chen Xiao effortlessly tore open the safe that was supposedly impervious to atomic bombs.
That's right, he tore it open!
It was as simple as tearing open a roasted chicken.
This time, Jin Qianbao was completely dumbfounded. What kind of monster was this? Was this still a human?
With this kind of strength, he was afraid that a gentle poke would create a hole in him.
In an instant, Jin Qianbao's body began to tremble like a sieve.
He thought he had just bumped into a hard rock, but now he realized that it wasn't just a hard rock he had bumped into?
He was running headfirst into a blade, wasn't that courting death...
