Lin Tian broke one of Liu Zhenchuan's arms, and with a scream of agony, he fled while clutching his head, completely numbed by fear.
The dozen or so strong n behind him did the sa, running away while covering their heads.
With Liu Zhenchuan chased off, Gu Yue and Gu Rui were naturally delighted.
Though their parents were very happy, there was an additional touch of worry in their eyes amidst the joy.
If Lin Tian was to stay at the Gu Family for a day, they would be without worry, but what about the day when Lin Tian left?
Lin Tian saw the anxiety in the eyes of Gu Yue's parents and solemnly promised, "Uncle, Auntie, rest assured, I swear on my life that I will completely resolve Liu Zhenchuan's matter before I leave, and will absolutely not cause any trouble for your Gu Family."
Upon hearing this, filled with gratitude, they thanked Lin Tian profusely and were very happy.
However, looking at the shambles that was the small restaurant, it seed there would be no business for the day.
Gu Yue's father let out a sigh and said, "Let's close up for today, no opening for business. Let's tidy things up properly!"
Gu Yue nodded, first helped Lin Tian into the house, and then they all began to busily clean up.
Ti passed quickly, and two days went by without Liu Zhenchuan daring to return, life seemingly returned to peace.
During the two days, Lin Tian's wounds healed by three or four parts, and he could walk like a normal person again. On regular days, he'd stroll outside, helping the Gu family with odd jobs.
One day, at eleven in the morning, a phone call ca; Gu Yue answered and imdiately her face broke into a splendid smile.
"Dad, the custor at number 99 Qi Dao Street ordered fifty lunch boxes in one go. We should make them quickly. They said they must have them delivered by one o'clock in the afternoon."
Fifty lunch boxes were no small business for her family's small shop, and Gu Yue was overjoyed.
Such an event was a rare occurrence for their little establishnt, maybe once in a month.
The whole family was very happy and got busy together. An hour later, the fifty lunch boxes were ready.
Gu Yue's father said cheerfully, "Gu Yue, hurry up and deliver them."
The fifty lunch boxes were packed into four bags, and Gu Yue faced a dilemma.
Seeing that Lin Tian was free, he volunteered, "I'll accompany Gu Yue to deliver them!"
Gu Yue was very glad and with a beautiful smile, she handed two bags of lunch boxes to Lin Tian.
Side by side, the two of them set out together.
As they were about to reach Qi Dao Street, Gu Yue showed a hint of disgust and advised, "Lin Tian, let's walk quickly, try not to talk to the won here."
"Why?" Lin Tian asked, not understanding.
He sneakily glanced around and saw that every room had a small red light on.
"This is the red-light district!" Lin Tian exclaid in surprise.
Looking around, he could see that the area was packed with rooms on both sides, no fewer than five hundred. If each room had a red light, that would be a total of five hundred ladies.
In Huaxia, this was on a large scale, and moreover, no one would dare to be so blatant about keeping ladies in Huaxia!
Gu Yue nodded shyly, not daring to look at Lin Tian.
Geylang was a complex area, the most famous red-light district in Singapore and even Southeast Asia. It was ho to countless temples, an endless variety of food, and nurous casinos large and small. Of course, it also had the most beautiful ladies from all over Southeast Asia.
Geylang was almost considered a lawless zone, a place of mixed company. As long as you had money and power here, you were king!
Qi Dao Street was a well-known gathering place for ladies, offering a wide variety but also the cheapest.
Those seeking pleasure here were usually middle-aged n or bachelors who couldn't find a wife. Those with a bit of status and identity would definitely not co here to seek fun.
Where there was gambling, chaos was inevitable.
Within Qi Dao Street, there were nearly six hundred rooms, lined up one after another in an area less than five thousand ters long, harboring a mix of forces—seven in total—with so as few as five or six people and others as many as thirty or forty, each dominating dozens of rooms.
Fights and brawls were common, and so rooms might be under Zhang San's control today but marked under Li Si's na the next day.
Injury and death were unavoidable, and even the police were reluctant to get involved.
As long as the issue doesn't blow up, doesn't spread beyond Qi Dao Street, this area is a no-man's land.
These won, like clothes in a store, are there for people to choose from.
Lin Tian swept his gaze sowhat obsessively over these won. Although compared to his wife and mistress they were but coarse and commonplace, in such an environnt, which man wouldn't be tempted?
He slowly followed Gu Yue, and the pimp, hiding on the side, had already noticed Lin Tian. Seeing him walking over, she rushed out imdiately.
She had been in this business for many years and had a very keen observation of n.
Lin Tian had never seen such a bold, extravagant, and charming scene, so the look in his eyes as he just walked past the fishbowl windows was filled with shock.
And his body reacted.
It's just that Lin Tian was accompanied by Gu Yue, which she found sowhat puzzling. One doesn't bring a girl along when seeking pleasure here.
To him, the stench was nauseating.
He shouted, "I have no money, and it's free, want it or not!"
To prove himself, he even turned out both his pockets, indeed he had no money!
No money?
Free?
Buddy, are you kidding !
With that one sentence, all the won lost interest in Lin Tian.
Especially the pimp, who monts ago had been enthusiastic and uninhibited, rolled her eyes upon hearing Lin Tian had no money.
"Tsk, no money, what are you doing here?"
"Free, keep dreaming!"
"F*cking loser, just a broke ass."
..., ....
More than a dozen won, one after another, cursed and dejectedly returned to their places behind the fishbowl windows.
Soon after, another man arrived, and the pimp quickly launched her attack, with the won following in hot pursuit.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and said, "That was terrifying. Those people could have skinned alive!"
He turned back to look at Gu Yue and saw her taking out so money—five, ten, twenty, and even fifty-cent pieces.
What's the aning of this?
Gu Yue said, "This is money I've saved up, it's a hundred now, you take it, I can deliver food on my own!"
Lin Tian had saved her and helped her drive away Liu Zhenchuan, and he had assured her he would help the Gu Family solve the Liu Zhenchuan matter for good.
Gu Yue was very grateful to Lin Tian, in her heart, Lin Tian was a man full of righteousness, responsibility, and gave her a sense of security.
She believed Lin Tian was a good person.
But just now, she had also noticed that Lin Tian had looked longingly at the won in the fishbowl windows, which disgusted Gu Yue.
Her intention in offering the money was sowhat childish, a probing test. Lin Tian had just said he had no money, so Gu Yue gave him so, to see whether Lin Tian, with money in hand, would end up going to that sort of place.
Lin Tian was taken aback but quickly grasped Gu Yue's thoughts.
He smiled faintly and gently pushed Gu Yue's hand back.
Without another word, Gu Yue turned around and walked away, huffing.
"Hey, Gu Yue, that's not what I ant."
"What I an is, even if they're beautiful, I wouldn't go."
"I have a wife,"
"Hey, don't run off. Listen to my explanation, I'm a good person."
