Qi Yigao spat on the ground, his fierce face radiating murderous intent, his eyes resolute, and he made a decision in his heart: "Let's do this job, a hundred silver dollars, it's worth it!"
The burly man was overjoyed and excitedly put his arm around the small and thin Qi Yigao, saying, "Good brother, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
Qi Yigao either doesn't do things at all, or he does them to the extreme!
He never gave anyone any real leverage over him; otherwise, based on what he did to the Chen family, he would have been sent to his death long ago.
At this moment, he was in the same boat, having made up his mind to kill and rob. Qi Yigao was, after all, an uneducated rogue. His plan was to wait for the outsider to arrive in a sparsely populated area, then kill him with a knife, bury him in the nearby mountains, and no one would know unless his family reported it to the authorities.
It was done without anyone noticing.
"He went into the Zhou family's shop."
Upon seeing the figure who had been staring at them the whole time, the burly man paused briefly before stepping into Zhou's tailor shop, and then gave a reminder.
"Hey, if you have money, you should naturally buy yourself some decent clothes. We're just being kind, let him spend his money to buy himself some mourning clothes!"
Qi Yigao said ruthlessly.
"Let's go, follow them in!" The two exchanged a glance, quickly walked to the shop door, and went inside.
――
Boss, do you have any clothes in stock?
Yes, we have them all here. Please take a look and see which one you'd like.
Could you please wrap this up for me, boss? How much would that cost?
You're welcome. That's fifteen silver dollars in total.
The boss counts.
Hey, not bad. I wonder if the customers have a place to change clothes? If not, this little shop—hey!
――
The shop is small.
Inside, the walls and several wooden shelves in the shop were filled with fabrics of various colors and sets of brand-new clothes. The owner was a man who looked to be in his thirties, of average build, with an honest and kind face. When he saw Qi Yigao and Zhang Gui following this refined young man into the shop, he knew that the young man was in trouble.
Upon hearing that the polite young man's accent was not that of a local,
The boss was absolutely certain that the young man was in grave danger!
The soft-hearted man made up an excuse to change clothes, hoping to let the young man into his backyard so he could secretly escape through the back door. However, at this critical moment, his wife pinched his waist hard. In the delay, the boss knew he was powerless to help.
"Please take care..."
The boss watched the young man walk out and said in a low voice.
The threatening looks from Qi Yigao and Zhang Gui prevented him from saying "Be careful on the road" to himself.
"well!"
The boss sighed. In the end, he was just an ordinary person, only from a well-off family. But what could they do with their limited resources when dealing with these shady characters who were willing to do anything?
The events involving the Chen family are still vivid in my mind!
Gazing at the white mist hanging over the street, the shop owner, holding his wife's hand, watched the figures gradually disappear into the distance, remaining silent for a long time.
...
...
The fog hasn't lifted yet.
Through the thick fog, Jiang Fan could vaguely see the sun in the sky. He glanced behind him without making a sound, and his heart grew colder. The two people following him were getting closer and closer.
what to do?
Jiang Fan pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed.
"These two men have fierce faces and don't look like good people. The boss just now obviously knew what they were up to and wanted to help me, but his wife stopped him. She was probably afraid of retaliation. If that's the case, these two are no ordinary thugs!"
“I’m not a local and I have no relatives here. Who knows if these two people will try to kill me and steal my money? I don’t even know which year of the Republic of China this is. If it were later, encountering bandits would be common. The rest of my money is in the pawnshop. I’ll have to come back sooner or later. If this matter isn’t resolved, I’m not even sure if I’ll survive today, let alone come back to collect the money!”
Shops are becoming increasingly scarce on the streets, and pedestrians are rarely seen anymore.
Jiang Fan, who had not yet come up with a solution, noticed the decrease in pedestrians and became increasingly anxious.
"Kill them?"
Suddenly, the thought of killing those two thugs flashed through Jiang Fan's mind!
"I have no relatives or friends here, all alone. Last night, after killing that female ghost, my strength has increased at least threefold. Every cloud has a silver lining. I have actually obtained an incredible opportunity. If I were to fall into a ditch and be stabbed to death by two thugs here, I would fucking not be able to accept it!"
"Kill them!"
"Let's give it our all!"
Good and evil can often be transformed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Fan, who had gained superhuman strength, gripped the sturdy tree branch in his hand, a murderous intent appearing on his face.
Holding a sharp weapon makes one prone to murderous intent!
They died here unjustly and without explanation.
Jiang Fan absolutely cannot accept this.
