After hanging up the phone, Wang Kai did not seem anxious at all. Instead, he pulled over a chair and sat down, apparently really planning to wait for the other side to come and deliver the money.
He had done quite well in this area and had a few brothers on the streets, so Wang Kai was not worried in the slightest.
“Brother Kai, how about we just let the guy go? This is still Brother Biao’s territory after all.” One of his colleagues suggested, clearly a bit scared.
After all, what they were doing had already crossed the line into extortion and blackmail. Things could easily go wrong!
“Hmph. Offending me, Wang Kai, is not something that can be settled so easily.” Wang Kai sneered, looking very confident.
“Don’t worry. I’ve been in the game for so long. I still have some face. Even if Brother Biao himself comes, he would give me some respect.”
Wang Kai crossed his legs and spoke. At this moment, in front of everyone, especially with his girlfriend present, whether he actually knew Hong Biao or not, he had to put on this show of face.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Kai with new respect. Many even cast disdainful glances at the timid colleague.
“Little Wu, if you’re a man, don’t be a coward. Besides, my dad has some face in Tongzhou too. Nothing will happen!” Zhang Hai boasted at this point.
His father owned a hotel and knew quite a few people on the streets. He had some thin connections.
“Xiaoman, see that? This is what a real boyfriend looks like!” Hu Xinxin pulled Li Rui over and proudly showed off to Zhang Xiaoman.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced down at Luo Chen, then at Wang Kai, and could not help shaking her head.
Just now, Luo Chen had hidden in the private room and not even gone out. This made Zhang Xiaoman feel utterly humiliated.
How had she ended up with such a spineless boyfriend?
“Thanks everyone just now. Come, let’s drink this toast. From now on, we’re all brothers.” Wang Kai raised his glass to change the subject.
“Brother Kai is mighty. That really felt satisfying just now.”
“Exactly, Brother Kai, your moves just now were simply too impressive.”
“Seems like there’s still someone here who isn’t our brother. Everyone went down just now, but one coward hid upstairs and didn’t come out.” Zhang Hai suddenly spoke up. The meaning was obvious. He was talking about Luo Chen.
“If you’re not a brother, then get lost!”
That last word “lost” was almost inaudible, because the next moment, with a loud bang, the door of the private room was kicked to pieces.
“Who’s Wang Kai?”
Standing at the door was a short, buzz-cut man wearing sunglasses, hands behind his back. He looked very sturdy.
And his expression was extremely cold. Clearly he had come looking for trouble.
When Luo Chen saw this man arrive, he suddenly showed an expression of watching a good show. Because he sensed a faint trace of murderous aura on the man. That was the kind of aura only present after taking several lives.
“Friend, who are you?” Wang Kai seemed a bit intimidated by the other side’s momentum. Behind the door was a dense crowd of people, all wearing black vests.
“I’m asking who the fuck is Wang Kai here? Who told you to talk so much?” The other side became even more arrogant.
“I’m the one. What about it?” Although Wang Kai felt the other side had more people, this was still Brother Biao’s territory. No one should dare to act recklessly.
“You, come out to the hall. Our boss wants to see you!” The short buzz-cut man said.
“Friend, I’m called Wang Kai!” Wang Kai was announcing his name, clearly thinking he still had some face.
“I don’t give a damn if you’re called Wang Kai or Wang Ba. You offended our boss. Come with us right now, or none of you will walk out standing today.” The buzz-cut man looked extremely impatient and arrogant.
“Fine, I’ll go.” Wang Kai walked out. He felt the other side should not dare to do anything. After all, he had some skills himself.
But none of the brothers he had just made followed him out. Everyone hesitated. After all, no one wanted to get into trouble.
In the end, it was Li Rui who said a few words, so the group reluctantly went out with gritted teeth. Luo Chen glanced at Zhang Xiaoman but did not persuade her to go. Of course, Luo Chen himself did not go out either. He stayed in the private room.
Luo Chen was too lazy to bother with this nonsense.
Wang Kai and the others arrived at the hall. There, a middle-aged man in Tang suit was sitting grandly on the sofa in the centre of the hall like a king. Around him stood a full fifty or so people.
Every one of them wore black vests with the same tattoo on their bodies. The lineup looked quite formidable.
“That friend—”
“Hmph. Who the fuck is your friend?” The man in Tang suit gave Wang Kai a playful glance, full of disdain.
“That big brother, I’m Zhang Guofu’s son. How about this matter?” Zhang Hai mustered up the courage to speak up. Although his father was not some big shot in Tongzhou, he still had some face.
“If you don’t want your old man to die, you’d better not mention him. Otherwise, go ahead and call your dad over. Let’s see if he dares to come.” The man in Tang suit sneered coldly.
“My dad knows plenty of big brothers on the streets!” Zhang Hai said arrogantly.
“If you’ve got the guts, call your dad and see.”
“Friend, is there some misunderstanding?” Wang Kai frowned slightly. Seeing the scale of this group, it really was quite large. Not to mention the few girls beside him.
Even the guys were trembling in their legs. After all, they were just ordinary office workers. How could they have ever seen such a big scene?
“Misunderstanding your mother’s head. You dare to hit my people and still demand money?”
The man in Tang suit gave a signal to the buzz-cut man who had gone to call Wang Kai earlier. The buzz-cut man immediately took off his jacket, revealing his vest, then walked toward Wang Kai with a cold smile.
“Friend, although we have fewer people, I advise you not to make a move, because I’m—” Wang Kai originally wanted to say he was a Sanda champion.
But the next moment, the buzz-cut man closed in and swung a slap straight at him.
The slap was fast and fierce. An ordinary person definitely could not dodge it. But Wang Kai sneered. He was not an ordinary person. How could he possibly fail to dodge?
After all, Wang Kai had trained. He did not take this slap seriously at all. He raised his hand to block it directly.
But the next moment, bang!
Wang Kai was kicked flying. He had learned fighting techniques, but the other side practised killing moves. While Wang Kai was blocking the slap, the opponent took the chance to kick him hard in the stomach.
A man nearly one metre ninety tall was kicked flying three or four metres away and lay on the ground, unable to get up.
Wang Kai curled up like a shrimp on the floor. Clearly he had underestimated the opponent far too much.
The middle-aged man whom Wang Kai had beaten earlier stood up, walked over to Wang Kai, and stomped hard on his face several times.
Blood immediately flowed from Wang Kai’s face. He let out miserable screams.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Hai and the others were instantly terrified. Their faces turned deathly pale.
“Heh heh. Impressive. In my own territory, you beat my people and still demand two hundred thousand. Quite the big mouth.”
“This is the first time I’ve met someone so arrogant.”
“Now, everyone here except that kid pays two hundred thousand each. Otherwise, none of you leave today. And the one lying on the ground pays two million.”
The middle-aged man in Tang suit pointed at Wang Kai. His presence was extremely imposing, and he was clearly not joking. He spoke very seriously.
Two hundred thousand?
Instantly, everyone’s faces turned white. Their annual salaries were not even two hundred thousand!
Even if they saved without eating or drinking, it would take two or three years. After all, they were just ordinary office workers.
How could they casually produce two hundred thousand?
“Friend, this is Brother Biao’s territory. If you do this—”
“You still fucking know this is my territory?”
