Chapter 171 (2/2)
At this moment…
Scarblade Qiang was full of chilling ice inside as his body turned cold. He forgot to feel the acute pain in his wrist and even forgot the burning pain in his face.
It was fast, way too fast!
He could only feel a blossoming scene in front of him. His wrist twisted and broken, the pistol exchanged hands, and he couldn’t see clearly as for how did Tang Xiu’s foot kick him, causing him to directly smash to the ground.
At this moment, he came to a sudden realization that even if he were to use his gun and pull the trigger, perhaps, he still wouldn’t be able to harm this young man, even his fate would be extremely miserable.
Tang Xiu slowly squatted as he patted Scarblade Qiang’s face, saying, “Remember what I just said. Unless you make a fresh start in life, I won’t mind erasing all of you earlier and prevent you harming other people in the future.”
Scarblade Qiang’s lips twisted a few times. With a look as though dying embers, he said, “I admit, I lost to you. The line that we should stand on the riverside without getting our shoes wet, is indeed very true. Then, we won’t operate on this road again later.”
“Pa…”
Tang Xiu pulled him and slapped him in the face as he snorted coldly and said, “You won’t be waylaying in this road only, but everywhere, ever again! The Heaven’s Law is revolving, and karma will have its due retribution of justice. Ones certainly must repay all the evil deeds they have done in their life. The retribution might not fall upon you, but you must give your descendants justice and do good deeds for them.”
“I promise!”
Scarblade Qiang’s reply was this simple.
Tang Xiu nodded. He got up and kicked him as he said, “Tell your brothers to get up. Don’t just lie down on the ground and pretend to die. Make them stand in a line, get rid of those stones in front of the car, and move those vans away!”
“Understood!”
Scarblade Qiang struggled, trying to get up from the ground. As he saw dozens of his brothers curling up on the ground, he didn’t dare to delay and shouted, “All of you, get up! Do as this Little Brother ordered!”
The dozen big men looked at Tang Xiu with trepidation and dread. After getting up, they removed the stones and the vans. Tang Xiu stretched out his hand toward Scarblade Qiang and said lightly, “Now, take out all of your money and give it to me! I was in a hurry when I went out this time, so I didn’t bring much cash. Since you’ve lost to me, consider it as your tribute!”
“Take out the money!”
Scarblade Qiang’s voice was full of bitterness, as he shouted with a low voice and a sullen expression.
Shortly after…
A thick stack of one-hundred-yuan paper money, as well as a small amount of folded ones, changed hands to Tang Xiu. Estimating it with his eyes, Tang Xiu found that these big men really had a lot of cash, as the added amount was up to ten to twenty thousand yuan.
“Now, get lost! Don’t make me see you again!” Tang Xiu waved and said.
Scarblade Qiang and the dozen of his brothers were long wishing to anxiously run away. The instant they heard Tang Xiu’s words, they couldn’t help but curse inside, _“Who the hell with the right mind wants to come across such an evil star like you again?!!”_
They left very quickly!
They came like the wind, and disappeared just like it.
As Tang Xiu looked at the woman driver, he lightly said, “So, can we go now?”
The woman driver was as though being woken up from a dream as her body trembled and quickly said, “Ah, we’ll leave. We’ll go, immediately!”
Tang Xiu let out a faint smile. As he got into the car, he handed two stacks of money to her and lightly said, “Consider this money as my fare.”
The woman driver hastily said, “No, no. This is way too much. This should be one or two thousand yuan! If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been robbed clean by them today. How could I still want your money?”
“Just take it as my gift for you. Anyways, I didn’t expect you would be so upright and stick by me. You even dared to help and stand up for me even though that man was holding a gun. We can be considered as having gone through a situation where a friend in need is a friend indeed, no?” Tang Xiu said.
“This…”
The woman driver herself was also a straightforward person. She just hesitated for a moment upon hearing Tang Xiu’s words before she received the stack of the two-thousand-yuan. With a grateful expression, she said, “You know, Little Brother, coming across powerful people with good hearts such as you, is extremely unlikely to happen nowadays. If you visit Cangbei City again in the future, gimme a call if you need a cab. But this Big Sis won’t accept your money.”
“Okay!”
Tang Xiu didn’t pretend as he nodded and complied with a smile.
