554 Its Fun to be Rich (1/2)
”Ah!” Si Tuying shouted in surprise as she jumped aside. Jiang Fei only just discovered that he had pushed her onto the doorbell.
”Sh*t…” Jiang Fei mumbled to himself. He could not believe his luck.
”Young man! Come in!” Si Tuying's father commanded angrily.
”Run away quickly…” Si Tuying said to Jiang Fei softly.
”Don't worry. I'm here!” Jiang Fei held her hand and squeezed it gently. He wanted to tell her that it was alright.
Jiang Fei was so strong that even most Metahumans would be wary of him, let alone a group of human gangsters. Moreover, things were different in China as compared to North America. In China, even a foot-long fruit knife could be used as a weapon. Therefore, the standards of gangsters in China were very different from those in North America.
As Jiang Fei continued to grow stronger, his mindset gradually shifted as well. In the past, he might have listened to Si Tuying's advice and ran away. However, in the past, he might not even have had the guts to pursue a lady.
Jiang Fei held Si Tuying's hand as the two walked into her house.
”Great! Young man, you are certainly brave!” Seeing as how Jiang Fei dared to enter the house, Si Tuying's father was also surprised.
”Dad, what's the matter?”
”What's going on? Who is causing trouble?”
…
Right then, a group of eight thugs came out from the back of the house. The leader was Si Tuying's third brother, Si Tunan. He was the leader of the group hired by Zhang Yangxu to attack Jiang Fei.
”F*ck me! It's you!” Si Tunan froze when he saw Jiang Fei.
”Do you know him?” Si Tuying's father asked.
”This is what happened…” Si Tunan quickly explained how Zhang Yangxu had hired him and his encounter with Jiang Fei.
”Oh! That's the guy!” Si Tunan's father nodded. He had heard about the incident before. After all, his son had returned in a badly beaten state. He could not have possibly overlooked it. However, the Zhang family paid them a handsome sum of money to keep things at bay.
”This is my father, Si Tujianxin, and my third brother, Si Tunan.” Si Tuying whispered the introduction into Jiang Fei's ears.
”Young fellow, which path are you on?” Si Tujianxin glanced at Jiang Fei and asked. After all, even the Zhang family had worked so hard to get on good terms with this young man. Clearly, this young man had an interesting background.
”Eh… I am not on the same path as you people…” Jiang Fei shrugged. He was a Level 4 Metahuman. How could he be compared to gangsters on the street? It was like a group of kindergarteners asking a professor which kindergarten he went to.
”What does your family do?” Si Tujianxin asked.
”Yeah!”
”Tell us! What do they do?”
When Si Tujianxin spoke, the group of men behind him started making noise to intimidate Jiang Fei.
”Dad… don't scare him!” Si Tuying exclaimed in a displeased manner.
”My silly younger sister. Does he look like he's scared?” Si Tunan rolled his eyes. Jiang Fei was still contemplating on how to answer the question.
”My parents are normal white-collar workers.” Jiang Fei laughed.
