Chapter 22: Curtain Call

hospital, please be mindful of the surroundings."Zhang Meng slapped his forehead and reacted, "You guys go down first, call me if there's anything.""Yes!" everyone replied in unison, it sounded quite...Outside the bar, it was already past midnight. There were few people on the street. Wang Lin walked silently with his head down, and Tong Zihao followed him all the way.

"Which way are you going" Wang Lin asked the child, Hao.

I head east, the hotel is over there, tomorrow's high-speed train.

"Well, I'm going that way anyway. Let's go together."

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a scream pierced the air. The two people paused and turned their heads to see what had happened.

A group of hooligans were gathered around a girl, leering at her and laughing obscenely. "Little sweetheart, why don't you play with big brother I'm very gentle," one of them said.

"That's right, little baby, your brothers will take good care of you."

At that moment, a girl ran out of the bar and stood in front of the thugs. "Don't come any closer," she shouted, "or we'll call the police!"

But these little hooligans didn't seem afraid at all, instead they became even more excited. "Hey This little babe is even tastier!"

"Do you want to play with your brothers too"

"This has two, guys enough for everyone!"

Come here, my little darling, let big brother love you.

"Stop!" At this moment, Song Zhe also heard the commotion and ran out. Seeing the thugs bullying his classmates, he was furious.

"Kid, I advise you not to interfere in this matter, or else you'll be sorry." One of the hooligans glared at Song Zhe threateningly.

"Brothers, come out!" Song Zhe shouted back to the bar, and over thirty men rushed out.

This scene actually stunned the group of hooligans, but then a ringleader pulled out a switchblade and waved it at Song Zhe.

"Boy, are you sure you want to wade into this muddy water"

At this moment, Song Zhe was cursing inwardly. He had seen two knives in one night, both pointed at him. The other students saw the blades and backed away immediately. After all, they were ordinary people, and a knife still held considerable power over them.

He took several deep breaths, forcing down his fear, and suggested, "I'll give you money, just let them go, okay"

“Oh How much are you planning to give” The gang leader seemed very interested.

Song Zhe thought for a moment. He couldn't offer too much, lest they make unreasonable demands. But he also couldn't offer too little, or risk angering them.

"Ten thousand! That's enough for each of you to find a good one."

The gang leader looked around and exchanged glances with his men.

"Twenty-five thousand, we seven brothers each get three thousand, the rest can go have some fun."

Song Zhe didn't think much, nodded and agreed, "What's the card number, I'll transfer it now."

It has to be said, Song Zhe is quite responsible. He thought of spending money to save two classmates, and it's also possible that he was just trying to save face. Tens of thousands of yuan for him, is just a few meals.

And Wang Lin and Tong Zihao also walked over, but they didn't say anything, but their attitude had already made it clear, staring at the little hooligans.

The gang leader told Song Zhe the card number, and Song Zhe began to operate.

"Wait, no transferring money, it has to be cash." The gang leader suddenly said. "Damn, we almost got scammed, weren't you planning on transferring the money first, and then reporting us missing tomorrow"

"I assure you I don't have those thoughts, and I don't have any cash on me." Song Zhe hurriedly patted his chest in reassurance.

But the gang leader didn't believe "Either cash, or I take them away!"

"Wait, wait, you hold on a second, let me check if the bar has any cash." After saying that, Li Yifei turned his head and said, "Watch them, make sure they don't get taken away."

"Got it, don't worry." Li Yifei said, then kept staring at the two girls.

Song Zhe walked into the bar and immediately found a waiter to ask if they had any cash.

"Yes, but not that many, only eighteen thousand." The waiter answered truthfully.

"Oh well, what can be done Forget it, let's just exchange it and see what happens!" Song Zhe made a decision and didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately asked the waiter to make the exchange.

Soon after, Song Zhe walked out of the bar with a wad of cash and said to the gang leader, "There's only 18,000 yuan in cash in the bar. No more. Do you think 18,000 yuan is okay"

The gang leader exchanged glances with his men again, seeing the growing dissatisfaction in their eyes. Wang Lin shouted, "This isn't too little, just now I saw someone call the police, the police will be here soon, take it and go!"

Hearing these words, the small hoodlums panicked and hurriedly told their boss that everything was up to him.

The gang leader took one last look at Wang Lin, accepted the money from Song Zhe's hand, and turned to leave. "Brothers, let's go. We'll find a place to have some fun today."

"Alright, boss, following you means enjoying the good food and drinks." Someone immediately offered a flattery, which made the leader feel very comfortable.

As things wrapped up, Wang Lin looked at Wu Yuhan who was still standing in the bar. He silently said goodbye in his heart, then pulled Tong Zihou and walked away.

Song Zhe didn't mock Wang Lin this time. If it weren't for Wang Lin's words just now, things wouldn't have ended yet.

So, Wang Lin helped him out in a way and indirectly gave him face. Although, Wang Lin didn't mean to help him at all.

On the road, Wang Lin and Tong Zihao walked under the dim streetlights, their shoulders touching. Wang Lin sighed deeply, "There probably won't be too many chances like this in the future."

"Alright, I've arrived at the hotel. Let's hang out again when we have time!" Tongzihao waved to Wang Lin and said.

"No problem, just contact me when you come to Zhongzhou in the future, I'll be there at your beck and call!" Wang Lin also smiled and waved his hand to Tong Zihao.

"Goodbye." Tong Zihao turned and walked into the hotel, while Wang Lin slowly made his way home.

The Night Bar was not far from Wang Lin's house, so he walked there directly. At that time, the streets were bustling with cars and people, still very lively.

Now it was the middle of the night, there were almost no cars left on the street, making it quite deserted. Wang Lin walked alone on the road, letting out a roar of frustration.

Although I've already said goodbye to the past, Song Zhe's words still echo in my ears. As a man, being humiliated like this is more painful than being beaten or scolded directly.

"Grass, is being poor wrong! It's not like I wanted to be poor! If I had a choice, of course, I'd rather be rich. But my genes were dealt a better hand than mine, what's there to brag about!"

I need to find a way to make money! But I'm busy delivering packages during the day and practicing martial arts at night, so I don't have time!

Suddenly, he remembered what his university professor once said, "Becoming a rich person quickly is simple; just pick any article in the criminal code that suits you."

"Damn it, what am I thinking I'm a law-abiding citizen! As a new generation of pillars of the motherland, born in the spring breeze and raised under the red flag, I absolutely cannot go down the path of crime for personal gain!"

Wang Lin slapped himself, bringing himself back to his senses. He had been obsessed with money lately, and the alcohol was making him even more delusional.

They said I need to send express delivery to increase my heart power. If I find a way to buy the site down, wouldn't other couriers be helping me deliver express delivery

The more Wang Lin thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling like a genius. But then his face fell again. He had no money! There were only a few thousand yuan left on his card.

"Damn, I'm so unlucky! But I guess I can start asking around. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll take out a loan and buy it!"

By the way, the first time I met Wang Erpao, he mentioned something about rewards for outstanding performance in the association. I don't know what kind of rewards they are, though. I should find some time to ask him about it.

The current gang leader, with his group of subordinates, was chasing after Wang Lin's direction.

They did indeed just leave, but one of the younger guys told the boss that he was watching all around and didn't see anyone call the police. Maybe that guy was just trying to scare us.

The boss also realized that if they called the police, the cops would arrive immediately and wouldn't let them take any more money.

It has to be said, their reflexes are a bit slow, they only just reacted now.

"Did anyone notice which way the person who called the police went What kind of transportation did they use"

"Boss, I saw it. That person and someone else walked east together. They were walking," a young thug raised his hand to speak.

"Alright! He dared to play us, let's give him a taste of his own medicine! Let's go! Chase after him!"

The bandit leader clutched his money pouch tightly, afraid of losing it. "When we're done with that boy," he said, "we'll split the loot!"

My brothers immediately became excited. "Boss Xie, following the boss means good food and drinks, no complaints!" you'll have 40 million in income every year. By then, you can spend it however you like."Hearing forty million, Wang Lin was completely moved. Forty million! He wouldn't earn that much even if he de...
