My gorgeous wife
Chapter 123 - 102: Robbery?

Chapter 123: Chapter 102: Robbery?

Two people went shopping together, and considering the contract was completed, Lin Yi seemed to be in quite a good mood.

Li Chen naturally enjoyed wandering the streets with Lin Yi, indulging in delicious food, and taking the occasional advantage—truly, there was nothing more relaxing.

"Beautiful wife, try this."

"This piece of clothing is nice, come on and try it out."

"Ah, open your mouth."

...

The two looked exactly like an intimate couple, and Lin Yi, with her face blushing, did not refuse at all and let Li Chen feed her.

While they were walking on the street, it was at this moment that noise erupted from not far ahead. Looking in the direction of the commotion, it seemed that a dispute had occurred.

A crowd was gathered around, and arrogant voices carried over from a distance.

Li Chen suddenly became curious.

In that crowd, Brother Qu was watching someone with a group, with Dagger tapping rhythmically in his hand.

"Do you know who’s the toughest in Beihe City?" Brother Qu said, looking down with disdain, "I’ll tell you, it’s me! Everyone should walk around me. You fucking didn’t know that?"

"Sorry, sorry," the man surrounded by the group was trembling, and through his thick glasses, fear was clearly not hidden, "I didn’t mean to bump into you."

"Ya-ha, you dare to talk back?" Brother Qu kicked him, "Did I allow you to speak?"

The man was close to tears. I’m just a little office worker, why are they bullying me like this?

"What are you looking at, I’m talking to you!" A ruffian yelled at a passerby who glanced their way, his eyes bulging with menace. Then the passerby, an older woman, quickly turned away. Although she despised the ruffians for bullying the honest person, who could stand up to them?

Everyone for themselves, everyone for themselves.

Seeing that they had successfully scared off the old woman, that ruffian grew arrogant, holding his head even higher.

The passersby around could all see that the group of ruffians was clearly bullying the honest person, but no one dared to intervene. Anyone could see that these thugs were trouble, so who would dip their toes in these muddy waters?

"What are you looking at, get lost!" Brother Qu’s underlings also cursed at the onlookers, who hastily left under the threat of the ruffians.

Brother Qu stared at the man before him coolly, "So, how do you want to resolve this?"

"Resolve this?" The honest man was at a loss for words; how would he know how to resolve it?

"You think you can just bump into me like that?" Brother Qu snorted coldly through his nose. Damn, if it wasn’t for running into that damned streak of bad luck yesterday and messing up a deal, losing all the money he’d worked hard to obtain, he wouldn’t be resorting to this.

But picking on the soft ones is always best, or what if he ran into the same kind of scourge as yesterday? Wouldn’t he just want to weep?

It was all that idiot’s fault for having bad eyesight, bringing that scourge over.

Remembering Li Chen’s face, Brother Qu kicked out in anger, causing the honest man to cry out in pain instantly.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting, you tell me how to resolve it." The honest man was truly frightened.

"Either let me cripple you or cough up the money. Do I need to teach you this?" Towards the end, Brother Qu was almost spitting in the man’s face.

Upon hearing this, the honest man hurriedly fumbled in his pockets, but after a long while, he pulled out a pitiful ten yuan.

The honest man swallowed, feeling a flutter of panic at the bottom of his heart, and when he looked up, he saw Brother Qu’s malicious gaze.

"No wallet?"

"No, no." The honest man was near tears, thinking to himself, I really didn’t bring my wallet today.

"Alright then, I’ll take one of your arms," Brother Qu said, spinning Dagger in his hand with flashy skill, scaring the honest man stiff.

"Don’t, I really didn’t bring my wallet." The honest man pleaded pitifully.

"Search him!" Brother Qu instructed his lackeys.

Immediately, two ruffians stepped forward and thoroughly searched the honest man, but couldn’t find any money after looking over him.

Damn!

He hadn’t expected to rob a penniless ghost!

Brother Qu was even more frustrated. Shit, he’d really been having bad luck lately.

Meanwhile, one of the underlings noticed someone coming over and immediately frowned and shouted, "Are you fucking blind..."

But upon recognizing the newcomer, the ruffian’s voice abruptly changed from loud to a low whisper, becoming barely audible and then fading away altogether.

The other ruffians, upon seeing Li Chen approach, couldn’t help but swallow nervously. They quieted down in unison and unconsciously cleared a path for him.

A hand gently patted Brother Qu’s shoulder.

"Don’t fucking bother me. Don’t you know better!" Brother Qu slapped the honest man, then turned around with a fierce expression.

There stood Li Chen with a smiling face right before him.

Fuck!

Brother Qu jumped in surprise, why did it have to be this scourge?

No way!

Brother Qu rubbed his eyes vigorously. How could he run into him again? Could he be this unlucky?

"I must be dreaming, not fully awake yet," Brother Qu mumbled to himself, then turned around and left.

"I’m going back to wake up properly first."

However, Li Chen’s voice rang out, "Stop right there!"

As soon as Li Chen spoke, Brother Qu dared not move, then turned his head with a mournful expression, "Big Bro, are you out shopping?"

"Who’s your Big Bro?" Li Chen said indifferently, "Don’t claim relations at random, everyone stand properly."

In an instant, the nearby thugs and Brother Qu’s spirits were lifted, and they sucked in their bellies, puffed out their chests, and stood at attention in one fluid motion.

Wait a second, why are we listening to him?

When Li Chen saw the look Brother Qu gave him, he blinked and revealed a familiar smile.

And seeing Li Chen’s smile, Brother Qu instantly felt panic rising, then uncontrollably pinched his own pocket, thinking he only had a little over a thousand today.

"Bro, why don’t you let us off this time?" Brother Qu forced a smile uglier than crying, "We promise there won’t be a next time."

"How could I do that? We’re so fated to bump into each other." Li Chen chuckled, "So, same old rules, robbery."

The honest man behind was dumbfounded, this guy is amazing, he actually dares to rob thugs.

Meanwhile, Brother Qu and the thugs around him wanted to cry but had no tears, damn it, Bro, do you have to do this? Another robbery, how are we supposed to live?

"Hurry up, be quick, I don’t have all day to waste with you," Li Chen said indifferently.

Brother Qu had a look of grief and indignation, I’m done for, I’m fighting you, but the moment he saw the barely detectable smile at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth, any courage he had mustered dissipated instantly.

His left hand shakily reached into his pocket, then took out a wallet.

"Big, Big Bro, it’s all here," Brother Qu’s face flashed a trace of pain.

Li Chen took the wallet, gave it a glance, and then called out to the honest man.

The honest man looked over, only to see Li Chen throwing the wallet over to him.

The honest man was stunned, while Li Chen simply said, "It’s yours now."

Brother Qu was shocked, damn it, the money he had worked so hard to snatch was just given away? And to this silly guy?

The honest man’s face lit up with joy, but suddenly seeing Brother Qu’s resentful look, he couldn’t help shivering. If he became a target of these thugs over such a small sum, it would be an unworthy loss.

"Don’t worry, if he dares to trouble you, I’ll break his legs," Li Chen said lightly, "Aren’t you going to leave quickly?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, the honest man didn’t hesitate to get up, clutch the wallet in his hand, and sprint away into the distance. After all, Beihe City was so big, it would be somewhat difficult for Brother Qu and his crew to find him.

"Big, Big Bro," Brother Qu turned his head with a gloomy face.

Li Chen let out a cold snort, "Got a problem with that?"

"No, nothing," Brother Qu could only swallow his grievances, if you weren’t such a freak, would I fear you?

"It’s fine, if you’re not convinced, you can give me two punches," Li Chen said earnestly.

"No, no, Big Bro, I’m really convinced. In the whole Beihe City, you are the only one I bow down to, really, believe me," Brother Qu nearly cried, his eyes brimming with sincere tears.

"That’s better. Make sure to do more good deeds in the future, got it?" Li Chen patted Brother Qu’s shoulder.

"Yes, I’ll do more good deeds from now on." Brother Qu now couldn’t wait to get away from Li Chen, but Li Chen was nowhere near ready to let Brother Qu go. He blinked his eyes, then said:

"However, I feel like your sincerity is lacking. How about this, you and your men shout three times ’I will turn over a new leaf and never be a bad guy again’."

"What?" Brother Qu was stunned the moment he heard it, damn, do you have to mess with me like this? Robbing me once is enough, and now this?

And the nearby thugs were even more distressed, what a joke, Bro is part of the underworld, who wants to be a good guy?

But suddenly, Brother Qu felt the chill in Li Chen’s gaze, shivered, and hastily yelled, "Shout it, now!"

With the boss giving the order, all the thugs had no choice but to start calling it out, though half-heartedly, but Li Chen just said indifferently, "Keep it neat, and you’ll shout five more times if it doesn’t sound right."

Brother Qu and his cronies felt like dying, and at that moment, they were truly in tears.

"Quick, everyone, shout in unison," Brother Qu had also realized that if they didn’t follow through, they wouldn’t be leaving today.

So, a large group of well-arranged thugs shouted out loud in the street, "I will turn over a new leaf and never be a bad guy again!"

"I will turn over a new leaf and never be a bad guy again!"

Their voices were sonorous and had great momentum, drawing sidelong glances from all the pedestrians around.

What’s with these thugs?

And Lin Yi on the side of Li Chen was already laughing uncontrollably, Li Chen sure had many ways to mess with people.

After chanting five times, Brother Qu cautiously looked at Li Chen, "You see, we did it pretty well, right?"

"While it had the spirit, it wasn’t quite in unison," Li Chen frowned, and immediately Brother Qu’s heart shattered, damn, not this again?

"But well, it barely passes," Li Chen’s turn of phrase settled Brother Qu’s heart back into place, thank goodness the guy had some conscience.

"So, can we, you know, go now?" Brother Qu said with a servile smile, afraid that Li Chen might not be satisfied and play some new trick.

"Go ahead," Li Chen waved his hand, a smile on his face, "Besides, I plan to stay in Beihe City for a month. Maybe, if fate allows, we’ll meet again."

When Brother Qu heard this, he almost knelt on the ground. Bro, do you really have to do this, are you even leaving us a way to live?

Once the group of thugs had gone, Lin Yi couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into laughter, "Li Chen, you’re so wicked."

"Hehe, there’s worse to come," Li Chen leaned closer to Lin Yi, then naturally slipped an arm around her waist.

Lin Yi rolled her eyes at him, but considering that Li Chen had helped her complete the contract, she tolerated his taking liberties.
