"Cousin, it’s those two. You absolutely can’t let them off today."
Xiao Li raised her chin sowhat smugly, although she had heard that Hao Zhigang was now wealthy.
Unfortunately, Xiao Li was well aware of the situation with Hao Zhigang’s family.
The family fortune had already dwindled, and there was no backing whatsoever.
The great-grandmother was practically just for show.
How did Hao Zhigang manage to have money, anyway? If she didn’t take it, she’d be failing herself.
Especially since her cousin was in the law enforcent departnt.
Although just a regular cop, the power was enough.
A burly man with squinty eyes stared at Hao Zhigang and Fat Zhang.
"You two dare act like hooligans in broad daylight, do you know the rules here? Playing hooligan has consequences, of course, depending on the extent, the severest punishnt is exile to Kunlun Mountain."
Evil glint in his eyes, they knew the power vested in them was their greatest asset. Who wouldn’t fear being exiled?
Hao Zhigang stepped forward, "Brother, how should I address you? Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding between us. Xiao Li and I used to be in a relationship until about ten days ago when we broke up.
Besides, there’s no way I could have harassed her. There’s so many people around, their eyes are sharp. I haven’t even touched a finger of hers."
Fat Zhang felt this was bad news, Hao Zhigang was still sowhat naive, how could he say such things?
By asking for witnesses you directly challenge the fairness of the law enforcent unit.
Sure enough, the burly man heard this and sneered sinisterly.
"Oh! He says everyone’s eyes are sharp, saw him not lay a finger on this woman. Who saw that? Step forward and let see."
Before the sentence was complete, the surrounding people scattered like birds.
No one was left.
Who would want to get involved in such matters?
Seeing that the other party was clearly there to cause trouble, testifying might land oneself in Kunlun Mountain as well.
Just stepping out for a stroll, watching the show, who wants such an outco?
"Brothers, see? No one can testify for you! On the contrary, my people clearly saw you putting hands on my cousin, playing hooligan in broad daylight – either pay up or let’s have a chat about this in the station."
The burly man’s eyes twinkled with mockery. Hao Zhigang was obviously a naive fool, no wonder his cousin said this fool was the easiest to extort.
Hao Zhigang gritted his teeth, "No money, just my life. Exile to Kunlun Mountain, if you please."
The money was his aunt’s, and this woman was clearly a bottomless pit.
The first ti would definitely lead to a second – constantly ambushing him for money would ruin Hao family’s future business.
All profits would go to this woman.
Better to sacrifice his life, at least if he goes in, the other three brothers can still help his aunt.
But he absolutely couldn’t compromise over this matter.
Fat Zhang hearing this, smirked, previously never realizing Hao Zhigang had such backbone.
Hurriedly stepped in laughing mockingly.
"Brother, brother, let’s talk, let’s talk, no need to get angry."
Xiao Li ca forward hard, kicked Fat Zhang and slapped him.
"Who do you think you are; dare even touch ? I told you, you thought you could sleep with for free? The money you gave ans nothing – you don’t fork over 5 million, expect a trip to Kunlun Mountain."
Fat Zhang’s heart kindled with anger from the blow, but seeing the dozen officers wielding various equipnt, dared not act rashly.
At this point, using the Zhang family’s na, still couldn’t help if inside’s where they ended up.
"Ha, such backbone. No money, just your life, huh? Alright, boys, take him away. And you, you fat fool, got 5 million or join him as company."
Fat Zhang chuckled wryly, "Brother, even if you want 5 million, I can’t just pull that out, who’s got 5 million to roll in the street? Give a day to gather it together for you?"
Fat Zhang wasn’t lying, truly didn’t have that money; it was a stall tactic.
As long as he could get back, he’d go to Zhang Shaojie, his big brother would surely handle this.
Who knows, might even get Hao Zhigang out too.
"Think I’m stupid? If you can’t get the money, go stew in the station till soone cos to bail you out."
The burly man nodded; the dozen n surged forward.
Hao Zhigang imdiately sent a signal to his three brothers, these folks should not act rashly, neither now nor ever.
Although being caught, quick to find his aunt, maybe she had ways to save him.
If the three acted and got caught too, no ssenger would be left.
Hao Zhiqiang and the others did not move.
Just as the burly man was about to act, suddenly a group stord out.
One of them held a knife to the burly man’s neck.
"Brother, don’t move, ss up and I’ll spill your blood; at this spot blood can’t be stopped."
Brother Jin’s threat made the burly man freeze in his actions.
Though n die for wealth, birds perish for food, he didn’t intend to gamble his life for money.
The man in front carried cold detachnt, a sure sign he’d killed before, seen blood.
"Brother, I’m law enforcent. Dare touch , it’s a big cri. Release now and I’ll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
"Brother, when you said this, you clearly didn’t think: if I dared hold you hostage with a knife, what would I fear? Broad daylight and so many witnesses, when things escalate, your superior finds out you’re framing, what good would it do you? You think I’d fear you? Fear you wouldn’t charge in."
Who exactly was Brother Jin?
After years of street-wise living, he understood these cops, despite appearance of authority, were not much unlike street-level hustlers, focused on personal gain.
But publicly they couldn’t go too far, if upper managent were alerted, they’d face severe punishnt.
The worst was being thrown into Kunlun Mountain, equal to each other.
He could guarantee, these folk were secretly out for personal gain; once discovered, above them none would escape punishnt.
Surely the burly man prayed the matter wouldn’t escalate, dared not truly stir it up.
