Chapter 240 – Boss, you are a good person

Chapter 240 – Boss, you are a good person

As night fell, in the Zifeng Community.

Inside an apartment, Xu Zikuai got up from his comfortable bed. He had just logged out of the game, and his stomach was growling. He ordered some takeout to eat.

But after waiting for a long time, the takeout still hadn't arrived. Xu Zikuai cursed and was about to call the restaurant.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Xu Zikuai thought the takeout had finally arrived and hurried to open the door.

A man in a delivery uniform stood at the door, holding a bag of food.

"Fing Hell, you dumb dog, did you deliver it to the morgue or what?"

Xu Zikuai grumbled as he reached for the food, only to find the delivery man suddenly yanked the door open and rushed in.

"You... what are you doing! Help..."

Xu Zikuai was shocked and tried to call for help, but the man covered his mouth with a cloth.

Xu Zikuai smelled a strong medicinal scent, and then everything went black as he lost consciousness.

The 'delivery man' casually threw Xu Zikuai onto the floor, and several more men entered the apartment.

"Boss, it's done. This kid's mouth is really foul!"

The man took off the delivery uniform and slapped the unconscious Xu Zikuai twice in frustration, feeling slightly better afterward.

"Lin Jichen's foul mouth is well-known. It's normal. He'll get what's coming to him later. Hurry up and take him away. Ah Bao, go get the car. Be discreet and don't get noticed."

The men dragged Xu Zikuai out and soon a black business car drove out of the community under the cover of night.

All of this was clearly seen by Lin Jichen through the surveillance cameras.

He saw Xu Zikuai being taken away. Although he didn't know where they were taking him, it was obvious it wouldn't be anything good.

It could even be a matter of life and death.

Lin Jichen was glad he had taken precautions and found himself a scapegoat.

But this method could only fool them for a while. If Xu Zikuai died and Lin Jichen was still in the game, the people trying to harm him would surely realize they got the wrong person.

They wouldn't give up and would definitely come back.

So Lin Jichen didn't want Xu Zikuai to die so quickly.

He needed him to continue taking the blame.

He picked up his phone and immediately called the police.

The police arrived at Zifeng Community, retrieved the surveillance footage, and found the unconscious real delivery man, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

The police immediately launched a city-wide manhunt for the black business car.

The group of men didn't expect the police to find out so quickly. They thought it was the delivery man who called the police. Seeing their plan exposed, they had to abort it.

"Throw this kid out of the car. Let Little Fei pick us up at the next intersection," the boss instructed with a frown.

"Boss, are we just letting this kid go? This opportunity doesn't come often. It will be hard to catch him again next time," one of the men protested.

The boss sneered, "No rush, we'll take some interest first."

He took out a knife, grabbed Xu Zikuai's hand, and chopped off his pinky finger.

Xu Zikuai woke up from the intense pain, screaming and sweating profusely.

He opened his eyes to see everyone in the car looking at him mockingly.

He clutched his hand in terror, "Who are you people? I have no grudge against you! I don't even know you."

"You don't know us? But someone knows you. Have you forgotten what you've done?" the man in black asked mockingly.

Xu Zikuai instinctively thought of the things he did at the repair shop and felt guilty.

"Big... big brother... I know I was wrong before. I apologize. Please forgive me. I won't dare do it again..."

The boss thought 'Lin Jichen' was admitting defeat and laughed arrogantly.

"So you have your day too, huh? Weren't you quite the tough guy when you were cursing? A game made you this arrogant, and now you're not so cocky?"

Xu Zikuai was confused. What game? Is he talking about that?

But soon, Xu Zikuai guessed that the boss must know he was a professional player in the game, which is why he said that.

"Big brother, I was wrong... Tell your boss I'm really sorry. I'm just a versatile player trying to make a living in the game. If I knew your boss was so powerful, I wouldn't have cursed him. Please, forgive me..."

"Hmph, saying this now? Too late."

The man continued, "I'm telling you, you're lucky this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky."

Before Xu Zikuai could respond, the car door suddenly opened.

Xu Zikuai was thrown out of the car, his feet hitting the ground from the speeding vehicle, and he stumbled.

With a sickening crack, Xu Zikuai's left foot twisted at a ninety-degree angle, and he rolled dozens of times on the road before finally stopping, unconscious.

The business car quickly disappeared into the night.

When the police found Xu Zikuai, he was missing a finger and had a broken left foot. He was rushed to the hospital.

When Xu Zikuai woke up, he cried to the police, accusing the repair shop boss.

The police arrested the repair shop boss overnight, but the boss was utterly confused, claiming innocence.

But Xu Zikuai insisted it was him who hired the attackers!

Without evidence, the police couldn't do much. Although they found the business car, the people had long fled.

The police could only rely on Xu Zikuai's vague description to create a sketch and hoped to find the culprits.

Xu Zikuai stayed in the hospital to recover. His broken foot could be healed, but his lost pinky was gone for good.

Thinking about his future with a missing finger, Xu Zikuai felt despair and demanded the police severely punish the repair shop boss.

But without evidence, the police couldn't just take his word for it. They could only comfort him and encourage him to stay positive.

Xu Zikuai had no other options.

He called his current 'boss' to say he had been attacked and needed a few days off to recover in the hospital.

To his surprise, the 'current' boss agreed without hesitation, even asking about his injuries and offering to cover his medical expenses.

Xu Zikuai was deeply moved, thinking how different bosses could be.

The current boss was so much better!

Xu Zikuai quickly thanked him, promising to be loyal and dedicated once he recovered.

"Boss, you're a good person. Don't worry, once I'm healed, I'll work tirelessly for you!"

The boss on the other end chuckled, "Good, I was waiting for you to say that. Take your time to recover, don't worry about anything else."

Xu Zikuai thought his flattery had hit the mark, hoping he might gain the favor of his wealthy boss in the future.

With this thought, his mood improved a bit.

Moreover, with the repair shop boss now under police surveillance, Xu Zikuai felt he wouldn't dare cause any more trouble.

Once he recovered, he planned to move back to his high-end apartment. Staying in the hospital was too boring.
