"Yo, looks like you've been doing pretty well these past few days.”The bald man whistled and leaned against the door casually. He was known as Brother Tiger and was a fighter raised by the Red Gang. He had studied mixed martial arts for six years. During a street brawl, he relied on his skills to beat five hooligans who were holding weapons. He was noticed by the boss of the Red Gang, and that was how he got to where he was today.
It might not be a high status, but it was a pleasure to see a bunch of underlings treat him respectfully, and a bunch of students who had yet to grow up call him big brother.
When he had nothing to do, he would visit the Hong Gang nightclub and collect debts for the boss occasionally. He would be followed by a group of underlings and lived a leisurely life every day.
Although it was a little boring to find a woman to collect debts, especially since the other party actually dared to consider calling the police? Run away? Why didn't you ask about the Red Gang when you borrowed money?
However, seeing that she was a beauty, he would let this girl off this time. Zhao Hu's face revealed a faint malicious smile. The ten lackeys behind him had already surrounded the entrance of the shop. The customers who were shopping for flowers put down the things in their hands and left the flower shop in a hurry.
These hooligans naturally did not stop those who knew how to leave.
For a moment, the flower shop, which had a lot of customers, became empty.
The shop owner trembled as he looked at the gang at the door. He did not dare to call the police. He knew that if he were to meddle in other people's business, he could forget about running this shop.
However, with this row of people standing at the door, this business could not continue.
"Come out? Do you want me to go in and invite you?" Brother Tiger whistled and looked at her playfully.
Li Qingqing bit her lips lightly. Her usually cold face was now covered with a layer of fear. Noticing the boss's pleading gaze, Li Qingqing sighed and put down the vase in her hand with trembling hands. She walked forward stiffly.
"What's the use of working in a flower shop? When will I be able to pay off this one million yuan?”Brother Tiger looked at her and reached out to touch her face." How is it? Have you gathered enough money?"
"You've been late for a long time, yet you're still hiding from us. Why don't you ask around? Who in Shanghai can hide from us?”
However, what Brother Tiger did not expect was that this stubborn woman actually dared to avoid his hand.
"I'll pay you back with work. Please don't harass me again.”Li Qingqing took a deep breath and tried her best to pretend to be calm, but her voice still trembled.
"Work? Just this? How long will I have to wait for you?”Brother Tiger, whose hand had been dodged, was not angry. Instead, he laughed, but his eyes turned cold.
“... Then what do you want?" Li Qingqing looked at the hooligan with a cold face. She was very afraid, and her legs and stomach could not help but tremble. However, the stubbornness in her bones made her unwilling to give in.
This girl was quite interesting. Her legs were shaking in fear, but she still had a bad temper. Brother Tiger raised his eyebrows and revealed a playful smile.
"There are two options. Second, capture him."
"I don't have money now." Li Qingqing tried her best to calm herself down.
"That's simple. Just take him." Brother Tiger smiled and spread out his hands as if a deal had been made.
"People?" Don't tell me you dare to sell people? Li Qingqing was a little scared.
"Hahaha…"
Everyone, including Brother Tiger's lackeys, laughed.
This made Li Qingqing feel very humiliated. She didn't think it was funny at all, but she had no one to rely on, so she couldn't make any counterattack. She once thought that even if she was a woman, she could rely on her own efforts to support herself, take care of her grandmother, and realize the value of life…
However, reality was so heartless. Grandma had left, and she had been deceived by the scumbag…
"No, no, no. That's too wasteful, especially for a beauty like you.”As if he had laughed enough, Brother Tiger raised his hand that was holding his stomach and looked at the underlings behind him." At least let them play with her for a few years before selling her to someone else as a wife, don't you think so?”
"Hahaha, of course. Who knows, we might even support you and sponsor you?”
" F * ck your mother. I like to wear old shoes, but I never said that I would marry old shoes. His mother…"
“……”
Hearing those vulgar words, Li Qingqing almost bit her lips until they bled. She wanted to cry. This was the first time she had the urge to ask someone to save her. Even in the most difficult moment, she had never had such a thought.
Tears of humiliation flowed in her eyes. She even thought of death. If she was taken away by these people, she might as well die.
Brother Tiger was also someone who had experience in collecting debts. He knew what Li Qingqing was thinking from the expression on her face, so he raised his hand to signal his lackeys to shut up and then relaxed his tone.
"Alright, I see that you're also a pitiful person. However, this was the rule. It was only right and proper to pay back debts. Don't worry too much. Work at the Hong Gang nightclub for a few years and pay off the debt and interest. No one would know anyway, right? When the time comes, you'll leave this city and find a good family to marry. Just don't borrow money that you shouldn't…"
High, it was really high. Giving a stick and then sticking a carrot, although old-fashioned, was indeed very effective. He was afraid that the vulgar words of those underlings were just to match this person's next sentence.
At this moment, Li Qingqing, who had received a huge blow to her mind, actually felt a little relaxed, as if she felt that this would work.
A line of tears rolled down from the corner of Li Qingqing's eyes." I didn't expect to end up like this after keeping myself pure for so many years…"
Although Li Xing wanted to continue reading, he sighed softly when he saw the expression on the landlord's face. Even though he had once hated her…However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to add insult to injury.
Then help me…
If it was in the past, he would have been afraid of those hooligans who were full of slang. But now, after experiencing the bullets of the apocalypse, such small fights were like children's play...

"Brother Hu, right? Come and smoke a cigarette."
Brother Tiger was stunned for a moment. He did not notice that someone was standing beside him and offering him a cigarette.
Li Qingqing looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes in disbelief. Her face was full of surprise. He was the one who stood up for her? The person who she had never taken to heart before, the person who had been kicked out of the house because she could not afford the rent.
Although she had regretted her rash actions, she did not expect to meet him again, especially under such circumstances.
Why was he here? Why did he stand out? Shouldn't they be standing at the side and watching the show?
Brother Tiger took the cigarette in a daze. He really didn't understand the situation. Normally, when the underworld was doing things, no one would dare to come up and talk to them.
"What a coincidence. I bumped into an acquaintance, so I came up to take a look.”Jiang Chen laughed and changed the topic." I heard the conversation. How much does she owe you?”
Hu Zi narrowed his eyes at Jiang Chen. In his opinion, this guy was too much.
Moreover, the boss had given him the task of bringing as many people back as possible. How much money could he make with the interest that had not rolled up many times? The key was that this girl was pretty good looking. She could be a part of a nightclub. When the time came, it would be 20 - 80, and it would not be a problem for them to do it for four to five years. That was the main source of money for the Red Triad. They could also be used to arrange for some big shots and build relationships. This was not something that money could buy.
"Yo, kid, you're pretty good at dancing?" Brother Tiger sneered as he threw the cigarette aside and reached out to grab Jiang Chen. Li Qingqing, who was standing at the side, felt her heart jump out of her throat. At this moment, she began to worry about the man who dared to stand up for her. After all, according to her understanding, Li Xing was just a young man who had just graduated and did not have much money or power.
"This dress of mine must be worth tens of thousands. Can you afford to compensate me if I scratch it?”Li Xing sighed and raised his hand to pinch the claw that was reaching out to him. With his 2.8 reflexes, it might not be enough in the dangerous post-apocalyptic world, but it was too easy for him to deal with these small fries in the modern world.
Brother Tiger felt as if his hands were clamped by iron pliers. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move an inch.
Oh no, this kid must have practiced it before.
He realized that he might have kicked an iron plate. Although he wanted to retreat, with so many underlings watching, the bandit aura in his heart also rose. A small knife appeared in his left hand and he threw it at Li Xing's head.
" Ah, be careful…" Li Qingqing exclaimed.
Li Xing casually tilted his head and dodged. With a casual push, Brother Tiger fell to the ground.
Brother Tiger, who had fallen to the ground, stood up. He was a little embarrassed and his eyes became fierce.
"F * ck, you're quite arrogant? Brothers, grab your weapons!" Seeing that Brother Hu Zi seemed to be unable to win, his henchman immediately jumped out and called for his brothers to attack together…
