"Supervisor, they"ve come here to ask for a protection fee!" Tang Ye shouted, his face covered with blood.He was handsome before, but now his front teeth were broken and his face was covered with blood. He looked miserable.
"Tang Ye, don"t move!"
Zhao Hongshuo"s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Brother Artillery.
"He"s right. We"re here to ask for a protection fee! You"re the boss of this company? I don"t care what kind of business you do, you must pay us 100,000 yuan for each year to operate in our territory. Otherwise, you"re not going to do any business around here."
Although Zhao Hongshuo looked fierce, Brother Artillery was not afraid of him at all.
"You smashed our office and hit my brother, and you"re asking us for money?"
When Zhao Hongshuo heard this, he became so angry.
"You mean you don"t want to pay us?”
Brother Artillery sneered, and then he said over his shoulder, "Brothers, knock him down!"
The men behind Brother Artillery grabbed their weapons and walked toward Zhao Hongshuo.
Zhao Hongshuo roared and rushed toward Tang Ye, trying to get him out of the room.
But Brother Artillery and his men saw this coming, and a few of them immediately stopped in front of him and surrounded him.
Zhao Hongshuo"s kung fu was better than Tang Ye"s, and even while facing people who had weapons, he wasn"t afraid.
However, Zhao Hongshuo was not as good as Ye Fei, which became apparent when he was surprised by a kick in the lower abdomen.
It had only been a month since Zhao Hongshuo had been attacked at the amus.e.m.e.nt park, and even strenuous exercise caused him intense pain. The piercing pain that shot through his body from the kick slowed him down, then someone hit his shoulder with a stick, temporarily paralyzing his whole right arm.
Brother Artillery was outside of the circle watching Zhao Hongshuo"s movements, and when he picked up on the fact that the man was injured, he cried, "This boy is already injured! d.a.m.n it, knock him down!"
Xu Sande had worked on vehicles in the army, so he was not good at fighting. When he saw what was about to happen, he thought of the police station nearby and quickly said, "Xiaomeng, go to the police station! Say there"s trouble here!"
Qin Xiaomeng immediately left to report the case.
Then as Xu Sande watched the men move closer to Zhao Hongshuo, he remembered that there were guns in the car. He ran to the back of the armored truck and took out a shotgun, then rushed back into the office.
"Stop!"
Xu Sande lifted the shotgun, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing. He walked up to Brother Artillery and pointed the gun at his forehead.
When he saw the gun, Brother Artillery immediately felt afraid.
"Who are these people?" he asked. He wondered how they"d managed not only to get ahold of guns, but to have access to shotguns.
"Everyone, stop!" Brother Artillery immediately roared.
The room became silent, and the air seemed to freeze.
All eyes were on Xu Sande.
"Who are you, brother? You dare to take out a gun in Shanghai? You"re brave,” Brother Artillery said. Although he was nervous, he doubted this man actually had the courage to shoot the gun.
"I"ve always been brave!" Xu Sande coldly said. "And I don"t care who you are. Today you hit my brother and ruined our office! If you cannot give me a decent explanation, I"ll kill you."
"Oh, you"re crazy! Okay, come on, kill me!"
Brother Artillery saw that Xu Sande"s hand was slightly trembling, so he became bolder.
"f.u.c.k you."
Xu Sande was also angry, so he put the whole barrel into Brother Artillery"s mouth.
Brother Artillery"s body went soft at once. He knew that Xu Sande did not dare to shoot, but... There was a gun in his mouth.
"Call them off my brother!"
Everyone else who worked with Xu Sande began trying to calm him down.
"Brother, come on, put down the gun!"
"If you shoot him on accident, you"ll still be punished!"
Eeventually, Xu Sande reluctantly pulled the barrel out of Brother Artillery"s mouth.
Suddenly, there was a siren outside.
A team of police officers ran in and saw the mess inside the room, as well as a person with a shotgun in his hand. All of the police officers were startled.
An older, more experienced policeman quickly made the other police officers step aside and shouted, "The man with the gun, listen to me. I"ll give you three seconds to surrender."
Xu Sande immediately put the shotgun on the ground, then the police rushed over and threw him to the ground then handcuffed him.
"You"ve got the wrong man!"
When Qin Xiaomeng saw Xu Sande being handcuffed, she immediately spoke up.
“He had a gun,” one of the policemen said a.s.suredly.
"I"m serious. We"re the employees of this security company. These other people just rushed in and began destroying our office. We had no choice but to protect ourselves," Zhao Hongshuo said as he began untying Tang Ye and Chen Mao.
“He"s holding a gun to protect your office?” the older policeman asked. Then he looked around and said, "I am the director of the local police station in Xin Ming District, Zhang Desheng. Who will tell me the truth?"
Brother Artillery took the opportunity to say, "This company owes us 100,000 yuan. I and my staff are here to ask for the money, but unexpectedly, they refused to pay us."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongshuo became so angry that he began trembling.
