Chapter 146: Chapter 149: Didn’t Bring Money

"Based on the normal charges, how much did they spend?"

Xiao Yi nodded and continued to ask.

"About, over seventy yuan I guess."

Li Ling made a rough calculation before answering hesitantly.

"Alright, take out seven hundred."

After hearing Li Ling’s reply, Xiao Yi nodded, turned his head, and coldly stared at the gangster who was visibly terrified.

"I... I didn’t bring any money!"

The gangster’s face turned crimson as he trembled with fear.

Seeing the gangster’s reaction, Xiao Yi didn’t say a word. Instead, he picked up another steel rebar that had fallen from their hands and violently struck the gangster with it. The gangster immediately let out a scream, which was even more vicious than the one he let out when Fatty Tang struck him just before.

After hitting the gangster, Xiao Yi’s gaze swept coldly across the group of gangsters, shook the rebar in his hand, "What about you? Didn’t bring any money either?"

"I do, I have it, I brought it!"

"I brought money too, I have it!"

"..."

Seeing Xiao Yi’s ruthless strike that made their accomplice cry and scream, none of these gangsters hesitated. They were cursing him inside, but the sight of the rebar he was shaking and that threatening look made them quickly stand up one after another, rushing to take out their money. They didn’t dare to hide a penny, and took out all the money they had, fearing that if they underpaid, they too would be beaten.

"Very good."

Xiao Yi was satisfied with their response. He took the money from their hands, one by one, without counting the total amount, and then directly handed it to Li Ling, "Classmate Li, this is the cost of their meal, and your compensation fee. Take it."

"Ah, this... there’s no need, it wasn’t much anyway."

Li Ling didn’t expect Xiao Yi to be collecting money on her behalf. As she looked at the more than seven hundred yuan in front of her, her face became flustered as she waved her hands repeatedly. This money was extorted from those gangsters by Xiao Yi, how could she dare to accept it? Although Fatty Tang could fight and had knocked down these gangsters, he couldn’t be here every day. What if they took a serious offense? In front of Fatty Tang, they wouldn’t dare to do anything, but what if Fatty Tang wasn’t around? Wouldn’t they seek deadly revenge?

"Rest assured and take the money. I assure you, they won’t dare to come back for revenge in the future."

Xiao Yi saw Li Ling’s concerns, smiled slightly, put the money in her hand, and then walked over to Brother Shui, who was still screaming and crying. He aimed a kick at Brother Shui’s lower abdomen and let it fly.

With Xiao Yi’s kick, Brother Shui, who weighed at least one hundred and thirty jin, suddenly flew like a soccer ball, covering a distance of at least five or six meters before landing on an open space far away!

Thump!

Listening to the sound of Brother Shui’s body hitting the ground was like a heavy hammer violently striking at all the gangsters’ hearts.

Oh my goodness, is this even human!

This was a man weighing over a hundred pounds, and yet he was kicked away just like that, looking as casual as if he was merely kicking a soccer ball!

At that moment, everyone on the scene finally realized why the fatso kept calling this guy his boss. It turned out that this skinny fellow was an even tougher nut to crack!

Thinking back to how they had just been looking down on this guy, and even plotting to check up on him and take revenge later, their backs became instantly covered in cold sweat. Even the boss of these thugs might not be able to mess with this guy!

Li Ling’s mouth was wide open, her cherry lips forming a perfect O, and her eyes nearly popped out of her skull. If not for everything being so real, she would have thought she was watching that classic comedic Kung Fu movie from the early century!

"My friend doesn’t feel secure taking your money. Can you tell us if you’ll come back for revenge on her later?"

Xiao Yi, after delivering the kick like he was booting a soccer ball, showed no sign of redness or breathlessness. He calmly turned to face the thugs.

"No, no!"

"We would never dare, absolutely not! Little boss, please take the money with peace of mind. We lacked eyes to recognize Mount Tai before, but we’ll never again interfere with your business!"

"Little boss, please take this money. The fault lies with us from before!"

"......"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s question, the thugs immediately started shaking their heads like rattle drums, each one looking at Li Ling with an expression of earnest pleading.

"This... Don’t be like this; I’ll just take it," Li Ling said.

Li Ling had been harassed by these thugs for days and had never imagined a day would come when they would willingly give her money, pleading with her to take it. After a brief moment of shock, she came around to the fact that they were desperate for her to accept the money. She then hastily picked up the money, somewhat nervously; she dared not truly make things difficult for them. Although she now somewhat believed these people would probably not dare to trouble her again, a trace of timidity and fear towards the thugs did not vanish entirely in an instant.

"Get lost, and don’t ever show up here again. If I catch you bothering this lady boss again, this will be your fate!"

Seeing Li Ling accepting the money, Xiao Yi’s face showed a slight smile, but only for an instant. His expression darkened again as he fiercely shouted, and once more delivered a kick to another thug nearby.

With another slap sound, the thug flew a few meters before hitting the ground, out cold.

The remaining thugs’ faces turned as pale as ashes, each of them running off from the scene like sprinters, desperate to escape. Despite their profound fear, they still didn’t dare leave Brother Shui and the other thug behind, and dragged them away as they fled.

"Thank you so much for today!"

Watching the thugs disappear from sight, Li Ling looked at Xiao Yi and Fatty Tang with gratitude. Not only did she resolve a pending disaster today, but she also managed to recoup her previous losses. More importantly, she eliminated a constant threat. These thug hooligans had been pushing her to the brink of a breakdown.

"No need to be polite. A friend of Fatty’s is a friend of mine. Allow me to introduce myself; I’m Xiao Yi, Xiao as in X-I-A-O from ’The Book of Changes’. It’s a pleasure to meet you," Xiao Yi said with a chuckle.

"Classmate Li, Xiao Yi is my boss. The boss has trained in Kung Fu, and he’s amazing. You saw it just now, right? With a single kick, he can send someone flying. I learned all my Kung Fu from him. You can rest easy now. After being scared by the boss once, those thugs definitely won’t dare to cause you any more trouble!" Fatty Tang boasted proudly to Li Ling.
