"We'll have the money to pay back, as long as we catch the perpetrator and get the compensation—we can immediately repay you," Heigui continued to plead.
"Catch the perpetrator? Well, we'll talk when you've actually caught him," the gold-rimmed glasses man sneered dismissively. If it were possible to catch him, the police wouldn't still be without any leads.
"Husband, I want to buy the latest LV handbag."
Just then, a slim young lady came out, clinging to the arm of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses and acting coquettishly.
Heigui's uncle was almost fifty years old but had taken a mistress younger than Heigui.
"Oh? How much is it?" the man with the gold-rimmed glasses asked with affectionate indulgence.
"Not expensive, just two hundred thousand."
"Alright, bought!" said the man with the gold-rimmed glasses generously.
"Husband, I love you to death!"
The young lady was so excited that she kissed him and then rushed back into the house.
Heigui's face turned ashen; his uncle didn't flinch at spending two hundred thousand on a handbag for his mistress, yet he refused even to lend them the life-saving surgery money they needed. This was heartbreakingly cold.
"What are you still loitering here for? I said I'm not lending it, so scram!" the man with the gold-rimmed glasses exclaimed rudely:
"What a loser! A deadbeat pauper, don't you ever step foot in our house again. It's bad luck!"
Heigui's expression was extremely ugly, carrying shame as he prepared to leave, dispirited.
Just then, a loud bang came from the courtyard.
Followed by the man's piercing shriek: "Who? Who smashed my Ferrari? Come out!"
Heigui was also stunned as he looked at the shattered glass of the Ferrari, and at that moment, a familiar silhouette appeared before him.
Hao Jian held a rock, a wicked smile playing on his lips, "I did it."
"Hao Jian? What are you doing here?"
Heigui was shocked, not expecting his appearance here.
"I went to your house looking for you, your dad said you had come here, so I came to find you," Hao Jian said, weighing the rock in his hand with a chuckle.
"Nice, so you're in cahoots, resorting to retaliation because you couldn't borrow money, how shameless," the gold-rimmed glasses man said with disdainful contempt.
"You just wait, I'm calling security now!"
"Hao Jian, you better leave!"
Heigui was panicked as well. Even though Hao Jian had smashed his uncle's car—which felt gratifying—the cost to cover it was a huge sum they as ordinary people could never afford.
He knew Hao Jian was retaliating for him, so he didn't blame him for the rash action; he only hoped Hao Jian could quickly leave this place and then he would beg his uncle to forgive Hao Jian just this once.
"Leave? You can't leave now!" The man with the gold-rimmed glasses pressed an alarm button on the wall.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
At that moment, the young lady, now dressed and ready to buy her LV handbag, reappeared, puzzled by the fury on the gold-rimmed glasses man's face.
"Nothing much, just a couple of losers trying to extort my money without success, looking for revenge. I've already called the security," the gold-rimmed glasses man insulted.
Upon hearing this, the woman's look toward Hao Jian and the others filled with disdain and disgust.
"Hao Jian, let's go quickly," Heigui said, knowing that there was no way to make amends anymore. Once the security arrived, they were all heading for a beating.
"Leave? But I haven't had my fill of smashing yet."
Hao Jian curled his lips and then threw the stone he was holding, with a sharp crash, the Ferrari's headlight shattered.
Seeing this, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses was nearly fuming with rage, audacious enough to smash the car windows, and now to break the headlight right in front of him.
Wait till the security guards arrive, he'd make sure they give this kid a severe beating!
Heigui was laughing through his tears—it was clear there was no room for maneuver now. He really didn't know whether to thank Hao Jian for his zealous interference or to blame him for being a busybody.
"Who dares cause trouble here?" Just then, a group of security guards appeared inside the villa.
"It's them, they couldn't extort me so they vandalized my car, teach them a harsh lesson! Hit them! Beat these two poor, filthy creeps to death!!!"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses harshly pointed at Heigui and Hao Jian, clearly not intending to show any uncle-nephew consideration.
Those security guards immediately looked towards Hao Jian, only to see him grinning and waving at them:
"Hey! Long time no see."
In an instant, the faces of the security guards turned as green as if they had swallowed flies.
Why has this scourge come back again?
At that moment, the security guards felt like crying—they could still vividly recall the scene of running naked in the cold winter night.
Turns out, the villa area where the man with the gold-rimmed glasses lived was none other than Snowy Moonstream, and these security guards were the ones previously 'educated' by Hao Jian.
So, seeing Hao Jian now, they were like mice who had just seen a cat.
"What are you waiting for, take action! What are you standing there for, are you deaf?" Seeing the guards not moving, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses promptly got angry.
The security guards looked at each other, but none dared to lay a hand on Hao Jian—they certainly did not want to run naked once more under everyone's watchful eyes.
"Sir, I can't handle this situation, you should deal with it yourself," the team leader of the security guards said in frustration.
Hearing this, Heigui looked at Hao Jian with astonishment, wondering what exactly Hao Jian had done to these guards to make them act as if they had seen a ghost upon seeing him.
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses's face turned a livid green with anger, "Fine, fine, fine, if you dare to disobey me, I will call your boss right now. Let him come here, and you can all wait to be fired!"
The security guards remained expressionless, as if they hadn't heard his threat.
Boss Liu had been dealt with by Hao Jian before, so it would be the same even if he came.
"What's so urgent that you had to call me over??"
Before long, Liu Rizhao appeared. Since Hao Jian was turned away from him, he hadn't noticed him at first and admonished his subordinates.
"Boss Liu, your timing is perfect. You must take good control of your people. These two raggedy creeps vandalized cars in my yard. I asked your men to arrest them, but your people said they couldn't handle this matter. If you can't even ensure the personal safety of your clients, then Snowy Moonstream is really disappointing," the man with the gold-rimmed glasses scoffed.
With that said, Liu Rizhao's expression turned unpleasant as he glared at the guards causing him embarrassment, "What exactly is going on here?"
"Boss, take a look at who this gentleman is, and you'll understand," the security team leader said with a bitter smile.
Liu Rizhao looked curiously towards Hao Jian, also wanting to know who this guy was that had scared his men so badly.
At that moment, Hao Jian also turned around with a smile, "Boss Liu, been well, I trust?"
Liu Rizhao's heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
This son of a bitch. Why is he here again?
