135: 135 Will the eyes go blind (second update) 135: 135 Will the eyes go blind (second update) “Are you looking for death or what?” daring to curse him as not being mother-raised: “Who do you think you are, daring to prance around in front of your daddy?”
Xiaofeng simply sat down, looking relaxed: “Not to ntion the distant past, just take the recent events.
I’ve heard that the authorities have been cracking down really hard on private mine owners recently, and so people are worried about their own mines being sealed off.
Instead of worrying about that, you’re here giving a girl a hard ti.
Do you find that amusing?”
If she rembered correctly, there had been a major private mine collapse nationwide recently.
Because of that incident, the governnt started to crack down hard on private mine owners.
“I spit on that.” Boss Wu found it laughable: “What would a young girl like you know?
I didn’t hear anything about the higher-ups checking on private mines.”
Boss Wu might not know, but Huang Bawan had heard sothing; he discreetly leaned in: “I’ve heard there was a major accident sowhere, and the higher-ups do indeed want to investigate this matter.”
“Even if they want to investigate, they won’t miss the chance just for a mont.” Baldie waved his hand dismissively: “Thinking a few words can scare , do you think I scared that easily?”
Because if a young girl’s words could scare him, he, Baldie, wouldn’t need to mingle in Xijiang County anymore.
“Su Xiaofeng.” Huang Bawan stood up, looking straight at Su Xiaofeng: “No matter what you say today, it’s all the sa.
You either pay up or hand over soone, only then will we let you go.
If you don’t pay or provide a person, we’ll just have to turn you over to Baldie, let him teach you how to be an obedient woman.”
“Actually, following won’t be a loss for you.
The salary in the dance hall isn’t low, plus you get high tips.
You could earn quite a bit in a month, much better than whatever you’re doing outside.”
“Did you hear that?
You’ve annoyed us, and we’re still giving you a good job opportunity.
Shouldn’t you thank us?” Boss Wu’s face floated up with a light sneer.
In her view, she was just a girl from the countryside, what standing did she have to act wildly in front of them?
Not to mince words, they were the local tycoons of the county; they made a good amount of money from private mines in the past two years.
They might lack everything else, but their pockets were definitely full of money.
Su Xiaofeng smiled without saying a word.
Angered by Su Xiaofeng’s attitude, Boss Wu stord over to her, his gaze towering above: “Su Xiaofeng, that man last ti, his na was Ye Cheng, right?
Call him now, tell him to go to Baldie’s dance hall to find you.
Say you’re drunk and need him to pick you up.”
As he spoke, Boss Wu pulled out a bulky cell phone from his waist: “Whether you call him or we do, if you make the call, I can put in a good word for you regarding the 30,000 you owe Huang.
After all, to Huang, 30,000 isn’t that much.”
“What?
Boss Wu thinks Ye Cheng didn’t throw you around enough last ti, so you want to invite him over to give it another go?”
“Bullshit.” Not ntioning the next ti would have been fine, but bringing up the last ti, Huang couldn’t contain his anger: “So what if he’s strong?
Who does he think he is?
If he dares co over tonight, I will make sure he leaves looking for his teeth.”
Last ti, they were unprepared, but this ti they were ready.
Even if Ye Cheng had extraordinary abilities, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
Listening to him, Su Xiaofeng thought it over seriously: “Alright then, give the cell phone, I’ll give him a call.”
When Boss Wu heard Xiaofeng’s response, thinking she had co to her senses, he handed over the bulky cell phone: “Think carefully about how to lure him here.
If you screw up, you won’t be going back today.”
Xiaofeng let out a light smile, pretending to make a phone call with the bulky cell phone.
She had only dialed two digits.
Then her hand slipped, and the bulky cell phone slid out of her palm, dropping to the ground with a clatter.
Su Xiaofeng let out a regretful “Ah,” her voice apologetic, but her expression didn’t show any sign of remorse as she looked at Boss Wu: “Boss Wu, I’m really sorry.
It’s my first ti handling such a large cell phone; I didn’t realize it was so heavy, and it just slipped.”
She peered cautiously at the broken pieces on the ground: “It shouldn’t be broken, right?”
Watching Su Xiaofeng’s maneuver, Boss Wu was nearly driven mad, convinced that Su Xiaofeng had done it on purpose.
That bulky cell phone was his new one, costing him over twenty thousand.
“Su Xiaofeng.” Boss Wu bellowed: “You’d rather face punishnt than take my friendly offer, would you?
You’re f*cking asking for it, and I’ll oblige.”
As he spoke, he grabbed a glass of wine from the side, aiming to splash it at Su Xiaofeng.
No one had ever dared to treat him like this, and today, he was determined to show how formidable he could be.
The mont Boss Wu splashed the wine, Xiaofeng reflexively blocked with her arm, holding a handful of chili powder she had been grasping, scattering it forth.
Whether the sll choked him, or sothing else happened, the wine Boss Wu intended to splash on Su Xiaofeng, strangely enough, trembled from his hand and soaked his own face along with the chili powder that accompanied the splashed liquid onto his eyes.
His eyes instantly shut tight, his hands flailing wildly in the air: “Bawan, Bawan, quick, water, my eyes, my eyes.”
Spicy, so spicy.
This is a private room, where there isn’t any plain water—though there is tea.
But the tea is scalding.
A kettle of boiling water poured down, and you’d be blind even if your eyes weren’t burned out before; it was Baldie who reacted first, bellowing at the three n guarding the door, “What are you standing around for?
Take Old Wu to the restroom and wash his face.”
The three n, as if just snapping to their senses, rushed to support Boss Wu to the restroom.
“Aiyo, aiyo,” Boss Wu cried out, his eyes burning so much he was calling for his father and mother; Su Xiaofeng was too ruthless—she was trying to blind him with spice.
Watching Boss Wu being escorted out, Boss Huang and Baldie stared fixedly at the packet of chili powder in Su Xiaofeng’s hand, pursing their lips in silence.
What she held in her hand was no plaything; if any got in soone’s eyes, they could be blinded for sure.
After a long while, Baldie burst out laughing, “Su Xiaofeng, I must say, you have quite the fiery spirit, carrying chili powder with you.
How did you even think of that?
Aren’t you afraid that while spicing others, you might end up spicing yourself too?”
Chili powder—who among ordinary won would think to carry a packet of chili powder with them at all tis?
This was no joke; if it didn’t spice soone else but backfired on themselves, now that would be amusing.
“Our family makes chili powder, so I’m not afraid of it.
On the other hand, if you guys want to try so more, I can give each of you a taste.” There was no choice; being new in town, how could she get by without so ans of self-defense?
After much consideration, only chili powder seed most potent.
Seeing Su Xiaofeng poised to throw again, Huang Bawan grew sowhat frightened.
If he went blind, all the money in the world wouldn’t matter, “Su Xiaofeng, don’t you do anything rash.”
“Old Huang,” Baldie chuckled, lighting a cigarette, “Do you really think that just because you have that thing on you, I’d be scared of you?
Let tell you the truth, I’ve been through more roads than you’ve eaten salt.
I’m not afraid of that little thing in your hand.”
As he spoke, Baldie pulled out a ter-long knife from under the table, “See this?
Once I make my move with this thing, what does your little packet of chili powder count for?”
Su Xiaofeng lowered her eyes, gazing at the gleaming weapon in his hand.
Huang Bawan, upon seeing the object Baldie had drawn, imdiately grew bolder.
It made sense—this was Baldie’s turf, and it wouldn’t do to let a young girl call the shots.
If Su Xiaofeng dared to act out, Baldie might just cripple one of her hands or break one of her legs.
Seeing Xiaofeng silent, Baldie thought she was frightened.
It’s true, which girl wouldn’t be scared seeing such a thing?
With a smug snort, “Su Xiaofeng, I really didn’t want you entering the dance hall, but you’re like a little wildcat.
If I don’t ta you, I might as well close down my dance hall.”
Rolling up his sleeves and stepping forward, “Drop what’s in your hand and co with quietly.”
“Su Xiaofeng,” Huang Bawan echoed excitedly, “Stick with Baldie, and you won’t be shortchanged.
Next ti I co to the dance hall, make sure you take good care of .
If you serve well, I might just forget about reclaiming that thirty thousand.”
As soon as Huang Bawan finished speaking, Su Xiaofeng’s eyes narrowed, and with a slight motion of her palm, the chili powder flew true, directly into Huang Bawan’s face.
Take care of you?
I’ll take care of your granddad—let this chili powder serve you right, it’ll be a thrilling experience.
“Aiyo, my eyes.
Aiyo, my eyes,” Huang Bawan clutched his face, rushing outward, but in his haste, he smacked right into the doorfra.
Dizzy and blurred vision couldn’t stop him from scrabbling his way to the restroom, not giving a damn about the throbbing on his forehead.
He hadn’t anticipated Su Xiaofeng’s sudden attack; if he went blind, he wouldn’t let her off the hook.
Another one down.
Baldie, now aware of Su Xiaofeng’s threat, took her seriously.
Only now did he recall how since she had walked in, there hadn’t been a trace of panic in her eyes—calm and composed.
That ant, from the mont she entered, she had been planning to use the chili powder against them.
This Su Xiaofeng truly was a wildcat, with a fierce disposition.
