CHAPTER 895: CHAPTER 871: OPPORTUNITY

"Brother, brother, let’s talk this over. I’ll just forget this ever happened. What do you say? We’ll pretend nothing ever happened. You go your way, and I’ll go mine."

The big guy in black obviously understood.

The person in front of him wasn’t Hao Zhigang or Fatty Zhang; this guy was clearly someone from the same circles as them.

These people are a group of desperadoes. If they really stab me and then escape, would my superior really issue a wanted notice for a lowly underground cop like me?

Would they really issue a warrant specifically for these people?

Besides, these people have their own ways to save themselves.

Since they dare to do illegal things, they naturally have their own channels to live well.

They can change their identity and live anew, but if I’m dead, and if the higher-ups find out...

That I was stabbed to death because of extortion, they probably wouldn’t even bother issuing a wanted notice.

They’d just say I deserved it.

"Hey, big brother, if you had said this earlier, that would have been it. You said it, so let’s consider it settled. But if you come to the Hao family’s shop again looking for trouble, let me tell you, brother, I’m from the streets, and I know where you live. How many people are in your family?

I can find out everything clearly. If you’re not afraid and have the guts to keep your family entirely protected, then go ahead and cause trouble. The mountains are high, and the rivers are long; we’ll meet again.

As long as I’m alive, I’m afraid, brother, you won’t be able to sleep at night!"

A blatant threat.

Fatty Zhang rushed forward, "Since we’re all brothers and this is a misunderstanding, let’s settle it. Here’s a card with 20,000 yuan inside. Let’s all have a drink; you worked hard and can’t be expected to do this for nothing, right? It’s all because of a woman, it’s not your fault."

The big guy in black took the card, and the grievance in his heart finally calmed down. They managed to maintain face rather well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to back down.

"Alright, brother, I’ll be going now."

He waved his hand and left with his men, while Xiao Li watched.

How can this be?

She’s still thinking about the 10 million yuan.

They had agreed to get back 5 million, 2.5 million each.

She was hoping to buy a house and a car, but now there’s nothing.

"Cousin, you can’t just let them go."

The big guy in black slapped her across the face.

"Are you finished? Do you want me to die here today? If you want to die, stay here and do it yourself. Don’t drag me into this. Next time something like this comes up, don’t come to me. Damn, what bad luck."

Didn’t you see that kid earlier with the knife to my neck staring me down coldly with a dozen men?

If I dared to make a move, they would dare to strike immediately. They’re all desperadoes; if a couple of my men died, I wouldn’t be able to explain it.

Don’t think I’m an idiot; of course, I know some things can be done, and some lines just can’t be crossed.

The boss may not mind us making extra money underground, but don’t let things escalate. Once things go public, then no one can protect us.

He’s obviously going back to figure out how to deal with today’s loss; it’s not something he can just swallow quietly.

But it’s definitely not right to put on a show here.

That would obviously make things blow up.

After all, he didn’t get any money, so there’s no actual event. How he spins the tale back with the boss is his business.

With the Medicine God Association involved.

Do they think they can keep living well?

Dream on!

This shop is just waiting to be shut down!

The big guy in black left.

Xiao Li, with no one to back her up, left even faster, afraid of being beaten by these people.

After all, her initial tactics were too low-level.

Hao Zhigang stepped forward, "Hey man, are you Brother Jin?"

Such tactics, such firmness, definitely not something he could’ve handled.

Didn’t you see, he’d already decided that if they were caught, he’d accept the loss and pay 5 million, better to spend money to avoid disaster.

After all, the Hao family hasn’t faced this before, and he didn’t want to get involved for no reason.

Dealing with these people is basically shedding a layer of skin, even if you don’t die.

But now, seeing how they handled things made him realize how foolish his earlier thoughts were.

Of course, he knew that these people wouldn’t let it go and would probably have a follow-up. But at least, for the moment, it was safe.

And last night, his aunt mentioned a Brother Jin, a known desperado.

Moreover, she said Brother Jin was very loyal, and out of nowhere came someone to help him.

It couldn’t possibly be someone with no connection.

With the methods Brother Jin showed today, it’s no wonder his aunt said such a person would become his right-hand man in the future.

He needed someone like that. Besides, he had no experience with dealing with the cops.

It was evident now; in the face of those extraordinary talents, only someone like Brother Jin could handle them.

In the future, when the shop encounters people causing trouble, demanding protection money, or creating medical disputes, it’s best to leave it to Brother Jin. Moreover, his aunt’s vision in people seems to be more accurate than his own.

"Mr. Hao, I’ve long admired your name, but today is our first meeting, and I’m here especially to meet Miss Hao."

Brother Jin couldn’t have come without doing some homework beforehand; his boys had already scoped the location.

Moreover, they checked out this place thoroughly, quickly piecing together the connections.

So, the little sister he met yesterday turned out to be Hao Zhigang’s aunt. The seniority was a whole level above.

Moreover, he had heard a little inside information; supposedly, this Hao family’s aunt had impressive skills in elixir-making.

The Hao family was planning a big reopening, and it seemed they were aiming to rise again. Judging by the aunt’s skills he witnessed yesterday, it wasn’t hard to predict their rise would not be difficult.

But it’s apparent that this aunt wasn’t just after a measly little profit.

She surely had grander plans, and naturally, he was more intrigued by the aunt’s skills.

But since he heard this aunt was renowned for her superior alchemical skills and that Yixin Hall produced many Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pills.

These Youthful Appearance Pills were a secret recipe exclusive to the Hao family, absolutely unattainable externally.

All the pills available outside are third-rate at best, completely incomparable to the Hao family’s pills.

He firmly believed the so-called Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pill must have been made by this aunt, and if she could make such a pill, she surely could make other elixirs as well.

If he could work with such a prominent Alchemist, his status would naturally soar.

Why even bother with loan sharking anymore?

Money-making opportunities would appear instantly, and moreover, would be legitimate and respectful.

Brother Jin envied those well-dressed, well-respected pharmacy managers to death.

He never thought he’d have such an opportunity in his lifetime.
