Chapter 17 One Man's Battle
Chapter 17 One Man's Battle
"You motherfucker, how dare you disregard my words?"
A short man slapped the boss hard across the face.
The short man had an iron chain around his neck and earrings, and he looked very arrogant.
After finishing the last piece of beef, Qi Tongwei stood up and kicked over the stool he was sitting on.
The noise alerted three thugs who were collecting protection money.
"What the hell are you doing? Get the hell out of here right now!"
The short man pointed at Qi Tongwei and made a harsh statement.
Qi Tongwei twisted his neck; having eaten and drunk his fill, it was time to get some exercise.
He strode over and said, "Idiot, which street do you hang out on?"
The three thugs were stunned. "Wow, this guy's really brave, bro."
"I'm asking you a question, you little dwarf, which boss do you hang out with?"
Qi Tongwei's gangster-like appearance actually intimidated the three thugs.
"I'm with Brother Xiong, who are you with?"
The short man suddenly stood up straight.
Qi Tongwei grinned crookedly, "That Brother Xiong..."
Who the hell are you?
The short man was getting a little anxious.
"When did it become your turn to collect protection money for this street?"
"Do you even know, to hell, that Brother Xiong collects all the protection money for these streets?"
The shorter man spoke with more confidence.
"Go back and tell your Brother Xiong that I'm taking over the protection money for these streets from now on, and he can get lost."
Qi Tongwei became more and more immersed in the role, and his expressions and actions made him look exactly like a gangster boss.
Ye Xuan was completely stunned. Was this a righteous prosecutor or a thug?
"You fucking want to die!"
The shorter man made the first move, and Qi Tongwei kicked him directly out of the gate.
Before the remaining two thugs could even make a move, Qi Tongwei punched one of them in the nose with both fists, causing him to squat on the ground in pain, bleeding from his nose and screaming.
Qi Tongwei didn't kill him; the short man clutched his chest and got up.
"If you've got the guts, don't leave."
"I'm waiting for you. Hurry up and call your Brother Xiong here to die!"
Qi Tongwei pointed at the short man's arrogant appearance, which made the rice noodle shop owner even more frightened.
If a fight breaks out, he's afraid he won't be able to keep his rice noodle shop.
When powerful figures take action, innocent bystanders suffer the consequences.
He really regrets opening a shop; he should have just stayed home and farmed.
The three thugs helped him slip away, and Qi Tongwei picked up a stool from the ground and sat down.
The boss approached nervously, "Brother, what's your name? Could you give me a month's grace period? I'll definitely pay next month."
Qi Tongwei asked in a serious tone, "Boss, how much do they charge a month?"
The shopkeeper held up one finger, "100 yuan."
"Have you calculated how much your shop can earn in a month?"
"I have a friend who owns a shop, and he said it's around 300 yuan."
"Running a restaurant is hard work, and taking away a third of the profits at once is really despicable."
The boss was stunned. This guy is ruthless; he's so ruthless that even he curses himself.
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, I'm not in the business of collecting protection money, and it's not their place to do it."
The shop owner was puzzled and cautiously asked, "Are you from the Industry and Commerce Bureau?"
"Didn't the police from the public security brigade come to do anything about it?"
The boss was worried about saying the wrong thing, feeling that Qi Tongwei was some important person.
"I've only recently opened my shop, so I'm not too sure."
"Those useless bastards in the public security brigade seem to be in cahoots. Boss, you can go back to work now."
The boss dared not ask any more questions; Qi Tongwei's aura was even greater than that of the county magistrate in his hometown.
Ye Xuan finally couldn't help but laugh, "You call others actors? I think you deserve the title of Best Actor. Hurry up and leave, what will we do when Brother Xiong arrives?"
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. I'll bury them all!"
Ye Xuan was still a little worried. Society was very chaotic these days, with robberies, murders, and motorcycle gangs emerging one after another.
"Did you discuss this with Zhao Donglai so that the police would arrive soon and wipe out Brother Xiong's entire gang?"
"You have great potential as a screenwriter, are you scared?"
Ye Xuan didn't want to show weakness in front of Qi Tongwei. "If you're not afraid, why should I be? I didn't cause this trouble. The blame should be placed on the perpetrator. I'll stay far away from here."
"That's right, a true hero knows when to yield and when to stand firm. Just wait, I'll show you how to take on a hundred men single-handedly in a moment."
"You're just bluffing. Don't mess it up if the police don't show up soon."
Suddenly, a dozen thugs carrying machetes and steel bars rushed towards the rice noodle shop. The owner took off running, his life was more important.
Qi Tongwei grabbed a stool and rushed out.
Ye Xuan's heart pounded with fear; he had only ever seen such a scene in Hong Kong movies.
What a twist of fate! It turns out that Brother Xiong is actually Baldy, one of Lu Peng's henchmen.
Qi Tongwei showed no fear in the face of the thugs. "Bald guy, you must be Brother Xiong. What a coincidence. Looks like you're not getting away with this beating."
The bald man was so angry his eyebrows and mustache were practically on fire. "You son of a bitch, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a lowly prosecutor!"
The prosecutors and petty thugs had an innate fear of officials, and they were all visibly intimidated.
"Don't blame me for ganging up on you. Crawl between my legs and I'll spare your life."
The bald man spread his legs wide, what was there to be afraid of in humiliating a mere prosecutor? Even the police chief was drinking and calling his older brother brothers at nightclubs.
Qi Tongwei sneered, "Bald guy, you're still so stubborn. So many henchmen, and you still don't dare to go up? If I were out here with this many henchmen, I'd be ashes scattered by you."
That's fucking arrogant.
"Kill him for me!"
The bald man was completely enraged.
The thugs swarmed over like a mob.
Qi Tongwei grabbed a stool and smashed it hard on one of the thugs, then snatched the steel rod from his hand.
Immediately, the two sides engaged in a chaotic battle.
Qi Tongwei was ruthless; basically, any small-time thug who took a hit would be bleeding from the head and incapacitated.
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded; there were no police lying in ambush at all.
Qi Tongwei was like a god of death, killing anyone who stood in his way. In no time, the thugs were lying on the ground groaning in pain, leaving only the bald man.
Seeing that things were not going well, the bald man tried to run away, but Qi Tongwei would never forget the beating he received.
He rushed over with lightning speed and smashed the steel rod down hard. The bald man swung his knife to block it, but the impact made his hand go numb, and he almost dropped the knife.
Qi Tongwei then kicked the bald man's wrist, causing the machete to fall to the ground.
The bald man tried to pick up the knife, but Qi Tongwei slammed his knee into the bald man's chin, sending five teeth flying.
Still not satisfied, Qi Tongwei retaliated with a powerful backhand slap, making the bald man's ears ring and causing him to fall to the ground.
Resolve the battle in three minutes, be a real man in a second.
Ye Xuan was stunned. Was this a human? Could one person really defeat a group of people? She was sure this wasn't a movie.
It certainly wasn't a shill hired by Qi Tongwei.
Zhao Donglai ran over frantically and saw Qi Tongwei seemingly enjoying the worship of a victor, with a group of thugs lying at his feet, howling in pain.
He could hardly believe his eyes; it turned out that Qi Tongwei wasn't joking when he said someone had broken out of the police station.
Qi Tongwei threw down the steel rod in his hand, not forgetting to belittle and mock him.
"Damn it, not a single one of them can fight. What's the point of living here? They might as well get to the factory and start tightening screws."
Waaaaaah!
Three police cars drove up; it was the Public Security Brigade.
Team leader Ji Yunhao spotted the bald guy immediately; they had been drinking and singing together just last night.
The public security brigade was dumbfounded, realizing that one was from the police station and the other from the procuratorate.
How the hell can they fight like this? If this happens, are the bald gang the good guys or the bad guys?
