Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 164 Hitting the wall
It was a dark night, and Xu Liyun's figure looked exceptionally thin in the dim moonlight, with determination and calmness flashing in her eyes.
The black cloth rolled up gently in her hands, like a messenger of the night, silently executing justice.
The stick left by Zhang Siwa was simple but solid. In her hand, it seemed like a weapon to punish evil and promote good.
She walked slowly towards the thugs lying on the ground, each step was firm, and the stick fell lightly, hitting their calves with a dull sound.
The thugs' moans sounded particularly harsh in the silent night, but they were also the response they deserved.
The next morning, before the sun had completely dispelled the night's gloom, Zhang Siwa brought his younger siblings to the stall. The eyes around them were full of sympathy and worry, as if they were all rehearsing an impending storm.
However, as time went on, customers came in an endless stream, but there was no sign of those gangsters.
There was a subtle sense of relaxation in the air, as if the long-awaited peace had finally arrived.
The afternoon breeze brought discussions from the streets and alleys. Those words were like spring breeze and rain, quietly changing the balance in everyone's heart. "Have you heard? Those guys who always like to find fault seem to have hit a wall last night!"
The news spread like wildfire, and each version was exaggerated, but they all revealed one message - those days of tyranny seemed to be over.
There was a barely perceptible smile on Zhang Siwa's lips. His busy figure lengthened in the setting sun, and every effort he made seemed particularly meaningful.
On the way home after closing his stall, his heart was filled with unprecedented peace of mind and hope.
In contrast, inside Shanyue Tower, Manager Liu’s anger could almost ignite the air.
His beard, trembling with anger, seemed to express his unwillingness and frustration.
He sent the waiter to recruit more people, thinking that victory was certain, but he unexpectedly suffered an even more tragic defeat.
The unconscious appearance of Xiao Er was like a basin of cold water, completely extinguishing the flame of his revenge.
The waiter's narration was intermittent, interspersed with painful groans, but it clearly outlined the image of a mysterious and powerful opponent.
Those usually arrogant thugs were like paper tigers and could not withstand a single blow in front of an unknown strong man.
Although there was fear in the waiter's words, there was also a hint of relief. After all, being alive is more important than anything else.
Shopkeeper Liu had complicated thoughts. He was afraid of the unknown enemy and was also dissatisfied with the waiter's cowardice.
However, reason told him that continuing to tangle with these unknown forces would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
He decided to change his strategy, waved goodbye to the waiter, and gave him some extra silver as a consolation.
The waiter took the silver, feeling mixed emotions: relief, but also worry about the uncertainty of the future.
Zhang Siwa's stall gradually regained its former bustle, and customers spread the word, making this place a pure land among the neighbors.
Although Shan Yue Lou was unwilling, he temporarily restrained his edge, and the storm seemed to have subsided.
However, when night fell again, the fate of Shopkeeper Liu took an unexpected turn.
The cold water woke him up, but also extinguished his last bit of hope.
The dark temple, the gleaming blade, and the angry and vague voice plunged him into the abyss of despair.
At this moment, he finally realized that some mistakes, once made, can never be undone.
It was not until Shopkeeper Liu's world spun into chaos that the man's fists and kicks finally stopped, and the air was filled with heavy breathing.
Then, a cold black cloth slowly covered his eyes, depriving them of the last ray of light, and the cloth blocking his mouth was untied, releasing his tense jaw.
The moment he regained his freedom of speech, Shopkeeper Liu's voice was trembling and fearful, and his first words were pleading and wailing: "Don't kill me, please, don't kill me! I have never done evil on my own initiative. Everything I did was just to make a living and follow the boss's orders. I am really not the evil person you think!"
"How dare you quibble here! You assisted Shanyuelou and framed countless street food stalls. You used every possible means to steal their unique secret recipes, causing many families to be torn apart. We have already verified these crimes."
The two men, known as the Tiger and Crane Heroes, enumerated his crimes one by one, their tone revealing an unquestionable determination, as if they had decided to teach him a profound lesson.
Boss Jin's heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge rock. He never expected that this legendary "duo" could illuminate the shadows of his past one by one and reveal them so thoroughly.
Panic surged like a tide, and he quickly expressed his feelings, his voice mixed with despair and regret: "I won't dare to do it again, I really won't dare to do it again. In the past, I was indeed blinded by interests and did wrong things. But from today on, I swear to be a good person, do good deeds, and never touch those things that go against my conscience again!"
If his hands and feet had not been tightly bound with ropes, he might have raised his hands and made a vow to the sky.
However, the Tiger and Crane duo did not seem to be moved by his confession. The one with a slightly immature voice turned around and asked his companions, "Brother, can we believe his words? What if he goes to the police as soon as he returns home and the government officials come to hunt us down?"
"Hmph, those constables are nothing to worry about. With our skills, even if we walk into the county government office and invite the county magistrate to dinner, no one will notice it!"
The eldest brother's tone was full of unparalleled self-confidence, and he was obviously absolutely confident in his own abilities.
When Boss Jin heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He had originally planned to report to the police immediately after escaping, but he had not expected that the other party had also anticipated this move.
In order to have a chance of survival, Boss Jin could only reiterate: "Don't worry, my two heroes. As long as I can return home safely, I will never report to the police. I will do good deeds every day in the future to atone for my past sins! If you two can spare my life, I will give porridge to the poor every day and recite Buddhist scriptures at night to repay your great kindness!"
The words were sincere, just to exchange for a chance of survival.
Fortunately, the outlaws were not bloodthirsty. After a moment of silence, the eldest brother slowly spoke: "Since you have shown repentance, we will spare your life this time. But let me be frank, if we can catch you once, we can certainly catch you a second time. If you break your promise and continue to do evil after you go back, the next time you will not be greeted with such a simple warning! Remember, we have spies in every corner of Chengguan County. Unless you leave Chengguan County, we will know immediately if you do it again. Don't even think about playing any tricks on us!"
Faced with this series of stern warnings, Boss Jin had no choice but to nod repeatedly.
He was frightened out of his wits by the aura of the Tiger and Crane Heroes, fearing that if he hesitated for even a moment, he would lose his precious life.
Not long after, Boss Jin felt a strong dizziness. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed in his bedroom. His wife was sleeping beside him with a calm and peaceful face.
