"Insane!!"
"These people have lost their minds!"
This was almost the only thought running through Baldy's head.
He considered himself a tough guy, having been in the underworld since he was seven or eight. Now thirty-five, he had seen countless situations in his twenty-seven or twenty-eight years.
Extortion, blackmail, sneak attacks, framing, deception...
He had used all sorts of crooked methods. But compared to the people in front of him, who could casually push over a few people and then demand a hundred thousand, Baldy felt he was truly too kind, like a tiny shrimp next to a whale.
"I think you've all gone crazy for money!!"
Baldy laughed in anger.
A hundred thousand yuan, euphemistically called medical expenses, was more than they could possibly raise even if they sold themselves. Moreover, this was not something he could decide.
"Nonsense!!"
"Our brothers here are all priceless! Even a single strand of their hair is worth ten thousand times more than you. Who dares say it's not worth a hundred thousand?"
Yao Dong shouted angrily, as if greatly insulted. He quickly started counting on his fingers: "Listen up, I'll do the math for you now!"
"You've injured a total of five of our brothers, in their heads, shoulders, stomachs, lumbar discs, and kneecaps!"
"We don't even need to go to the best hospitals, just the hospitals in the capital! Various examination fees, consulting specialist fees, treatment costs, travel expenses, lost wages, emotional distress compensation, support for their wives and children..."
Baldy and his group were dumbfounded, listening to Yao Dong spout all sorts of strange new terms, many of which they had never heard before.
The meager lives of these few individuals deserved to be examined in a Beijing hospital and require specialists...
"I'm telling you, a hundred thousand yuan is a fair price!"
"If you don't pay, you're not leaving here today!"
Baldy was forceful, but Yao Dong was even more so. After rattling off his list of charges, he waved his hand.
The surrounding thugs immediately closed in again, shrinking Baldy's space to move.
"Today, I'll see who dares to stop me!"
Baldy was fuming!
Ever since he started following Han Shifei, he had practically been walking all over Yongnan County. He never paid for meals, singing, or even women.
He was always the one extorting others; now it was reversed. His pride couldn't take it.
"Get out of my way!!"
"A good dog doesn't block the road!"
Baldy's mind clouded by rage, he swung his fist at a young man blocking his path.
To his surprise, the seemingly scrawny young man immediately bent down. Baldy's fist grazed past the back of his head and landed squarely on someone behind him.
"Ouch!!"
A scream immediately rang out, accompanied by splashing blood.
An old man with white hair, trembling, pointed a shaky finger at Baldy. Then, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Grandpa!!"
The moment the old man fell, a startled cry erupted from nearby. A young man lunged forward, falling beside the elder, sobbing uncontrollably and crying out loud.
Baldy was also stunned, his face turning pale.
He couldn't understand why there was a seventy or eighty-year-old man lingering in such a scene. And he had just punched him directly in the face, drawing blood.
Unlike before, this was a real hit, and the target was an old man.
Baldy felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
Normally, on his turf, this would be nothing. He could even discreetly "handle" the situation with no one knowing.
But in the current environment and situation, he felt like he was digging his own grave. Baldy suspected he was being set up again, that all of this had been meticulously planned.
As he panicked, the old man's relative lunged at him like a madman, grabbing his clothes tightly with both hands, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying.
"You killed my grandpa, I want your life for his!"
Baldy was terrified. Just as he was about to argue, his subordinates stepped forward to help, restraining the frenzied youth.
Baldy, regaining his senses, shakily pulled out his phone and started making a call.
Everything that had happened today was beyond his imagination.
Killing someone in broad daylight meant jail time and potentially losing his life!
Consumed by fear, Baldy's first thought was to call his boss immediately to report everything.
"B-Big Brother, I killed someone!"
As soon as the call connected, Baldy blurted out.
Miles away, in a high-end club, Han Shifei was enjoying a massage from two attractive women, awaiting good news.
When the phone rang, he saw who was calling and answered with a smile.
But the next second, his smile froze. The usually calm Han Shifei sat up abruptly, throwing the woman on his back onto the floor, who cried out in tears.
"You bastard, I just asked you to collect a debt, what did you do?"
Han Shifei roared. Murder, at any time, was a serious matter that couldn't be taken lightly.
"Big Brother, please come quickly, I've been framed!"
Baldy's voice was choked with tears. Even through the phone, his panic was palpable.
"Are you at Qin Chuan's construction site right now?"
"Wait, I'm on my way!"
Han Shifei's face was as dark as water. He hung up the phone.
"Get me some people, let's go to the construction site!"
Han Shifei yelled at his frightened subordinates. Soon, a large group of people gathered outside the club, heading towards the Yaoshi Real Estate construction site.
When Han Shifei arrived with his men, he immediately spotted Baldy surrounded by many people; that bald head was too conspicuous.
"Get out of the way, all of you!"
"Are you blind? Don't you see my Big Brother is here?!"
Han Shifei's henchmen, roaring and swaggering, quickly pushed their way to the center of the incident.
"Big Brother!"
Upon seeing Han Shifei arrive, Baldy acted as if he had seen his own father, tears welling up in his eyes. He rushed forward, intending to embrace Han Shifei.
However, what greeted him was a swift and crisp slap!
*Slap!!*
The clear, loud sound of the slap stunned Baldy. He covered his face, his expression blank.
"Where is the person you killed?"
Han Shifei asked coldly, his face grim.
Baldy finally came to his senses and pointed a trembling arm towards a spot.
"B-Big Brother! He... he's alive again!"
Han Shifei, who had been anxious, stumbled. This statement almost made him lose his breath. Fortunately, he was a man who had weathered many storms and quickly regained his composure, striding over.
Then, Han Shifei's slightly relaxed brows furrowed again because he saw six people lying on the ground, all with pained expressions and groaning continuously.
What was even more outrageous was that there was an old man covered in blood among them, appearing to be seventy or eighty years old. What exactly had happened?!
Why was such an elderly person involved?
And why did he look like the most severely injured one?
