Chapter 123: Chapter 39: Warning (Second Update)
Liu Yingying heard the commotion and, through the car window, saw the driver they had hired, Lao Wu, surrounded by a group of people.
“Damn it, driving a luxury car like you’re something special, huh? These blind idiots, brothers, smash it for me and drag the people inside out for a beating.”
“Look at that, there’s a real beauty inside, must be some rich guy’s kept mistress.”
“Right, definitely a fox spirit. Let’s teach her a lesson.”
The gangsters, reeking of alcohol, cursed and swore as they swung their weapons and smashed them towards the car.
Liu Yingying was startled, having not expected such an incident to occur.
What she hadn’t noticed was that a beautiful bracelet on her wrist was slightly warm.
It was a gift from Su Jie, said to be blessed by a high monk, guaranteed to be very effective at keeping one safe.
A few of the thugs at the front suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation in their chests and their steps slowed down.
Right then, several members of Jieke Security swiftly exited a van behind them, wielding batons and striking out.
Mountain Mule was stunned, not expecting these bodyguards to be so fierce; each one of them was muscular and their cold gazes were somewhat frightening.
Before he could react further, these Jieke Security guards stormed into the fray like tigers among wolves, leaving the gangsters crying for their fathers and mothers.
These bodyguards, assigned to Hua Country, were selected from thousands of Jieke Security personnel through rigorous screening for their outstanding abilities; they all had blood on their hands.
Against a group of thugs, even without firearms, their overwhelming combat prowess allowed them to easily floor the numerically superior gangsters.
“Damn, we’ve hit an iron wall.”
A curse slipped from his mouth just as Mountain Mule was about to run, only to be flipped over by a kick from behind by a Jieke Security member, who then subdued him snugly with a series of grappling and combat moves.
When the conflict was over, Liu Yingying stepped out of the vehicle, her expression unchanged.
The Mande Region was much more violent than domestically; this was just child’s play.
“Who sent you here?”
Liu Yingying glanced around, though inside she already had a guess at the answer.
“Pah, you bitch, just you wait. When I…”
Mountain Mule was about to arrogantly spout off, but was swiftly silenced with a harsh slap to the face by Jieke Security.
These Jieke Security didn’t care about excessive self-defense; their families were in Mande Region, aware of Liu Yingying’s influence and status there.
If Liu Yingying was harmed, their privileges would be revoked, and their families would suffer, so their loyalty to Jieke Company was absolute.
“Boss, how shall we deal with them next…”
One of the Jieke Security approached Liu Yingying, speaking in a deep voice. His Mandarin might not be perfect, but it was comprehensible.
“Call the police.”
Liu Yingying instructed, knowing this wasn’t the place for recklessness.
The police responded quickly, arriving at the scene soon after and taking the group back to the station.
After making a call to Su Jie, Liu Yingying proceeded to recount the events at the police station.
Since there were surveillance cameras at the site of the incident, everything was clear; it was a typical case of drunken brawling and harassment.
Later, a car pulled up at the station.
Su Jie got out, straightened his collar, and walked into the police station with a few lawyers in tow.
“Mr. Su,”
Liu Yingying was explaining something to the police, but immediately ran over upon seeing Su Jie.
“How’s everything been handled, are you hurt?”
Su Jie looked at Liu Yingying, scanning her with Spiritual Power, finding no issues.
“I’m fine, the people from Min Sang protected me.”
Liu Yingying gestured to the Jieke Security personnel and recounted the incident.
“Thank you all for your hard work. You did well in handling this matter. A 12-month bonus for each of you,”
Su Jie said, promptly rewarding them without further ado.
“Serving Jieke is our duty, it’s no hard work.”
Several Jieke Security personnel stood in a line before Su Jie, saluting sharply, their efficient and fierce demeanor drawing frequent glances from the police officers in the station.
Su Jie’s gaze shifted to the group of thugs who were brought into the police station, a total of eight people who didn’t seem to care at all about being there.
“What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
Mountain Mule glared at Su Jie with anger. They had all seen his photo before coming and knew that Su Jie was the competitor that Yikang Company was targeting this time.
“It’s been a long time since someone dared to talk to me like that.”
Su Jie’s eyes held a playful look as he regarded Mountain Mule as if looking at a dead man.
“Are you Su Jie?”
Aside from these few thugs, there was also a man in a suit in the police station.
Seeing Su Jie, he straightened his collar, walked over, took out a lighter to light a cigarette, and introduced himself, “My name is Yu Runming, Yu Duanchong is my uncle, and he asked me to send his regards to you.”
Su Jie raised an eyebrow and replied indifferently, “I’ve received your regards, and I’ll go have a chat with your uncle later.”
“Today is just a small warning, if you know what’s good for you…”
“You mean these pieces of trash? Is this how people in the underworld operate now, so rough and ready that they still have the face to talk tough after getting beaten up!”
Yu Runming’s words were cut off by Su Jie, leaving him with an ugly expression, “We’re just giving you a warning, we haven’t started playing for real yet.”
After saying this, he also turned his head and glared at Mountain Mule and the others.
If it wasn’t for their incompetence, he wouldn’t have needed to come here to clean up their mess and be mocked by an enemy.
“There’s no need for that. I’m still waiting to see what Yikang Company is capable of,”
Su Jie laughed, thinking the other party must have been too arrogant if they believed these tactics could scare him.
Yu Runming exhaled a smoke ring, his demeanor extremely arrogant, “Since you’re not appreciating the face I’m giving you, don’t come back begging me later.”
“Smoking is not allowed here.”
A police officer came over and snatched the cigarette from Yu Runming’s mouth, snuffing it out.
Yu Runming, who was just trying to act tough, was left with an extremely dark expression on his face but unfortunately couldn’t lose his temper at the police officer.
“Miss Liu, this is their settlement letter, offering to compensate you with one hundred thousand yuan, as well as covering the medical expenses for the injuries. Please look over it and decide whether you want to sign. If you don’t settle, according to the regulations, we can detain them for 15 days.”
The police officer was holding a settlement letter, as Mountain Mule and the others were judged to be guilty of provoking trouble, without more serious punishment, which was also the reason for Mountain Mule’s fearless attitude.
For people like Mountain Mule, who were used to being detained for ten or fifteen days, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
“I don’t want the money, keep these scumbags locked up…”
Liu Yingying was about to speak but was stopped by Su Jie.
“Ah Sir, we choose to settle.”
Su Jie chose another option, which confused Liu Yingying greatly.
“But doing this, wouldn’t it…”
“It’s okay, let them go.”
Su Jie ruffled Liu Yingying’s hair. It was a bit too ostentatious to take action here, better to let them leave and whatever happens outside, that’s where Su Jie would have the final say.
Su Jie also wanted to see what kind of moves these people had up their sleeves.
“Is that your decision?”
The police officer asked again.
“Yes, we’ve decided, we choose to settle.”
Liu Yingying signed her name on the settlement letter.
“Send over your account number, and I’ll transfer the money, but don’t think this is the end of it.”
Yu Runming’s gaze was icy cold, filled with threatening intent.
Released by the police, Mountain Mule and his gang strutted out, casting unfriendly looks at Su Jie.
“No need for that, you better keep the money for yourself.”
Su Jie left the police station with Liu Yingying and got into his car.
Before getting into the car, Su Jie gave Yu Runming a friendly smile, “We’ll meet again soon, gentlemen, I believe we’ll be seeing each other again very soon.”
The convoy sped away, leaving behind Yu Runming and the others with discontented expressions, cursing at the entrance of the police station, venting their frustration.
