Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 736: Are You Courting Death?
’Boom!’
Little Huang Mao got kicked again, and it was agonizing enough to make him grimace in pain.
This time was much worse than before; you could clearly hear the ’snap’ of a bone breaking.
Hiss~
Such audacity was something this gang of punks had never witnessed before.
Normally, they relied on their looks to intimidate others, and very rarely did they actually get physical.
There was no choice, the cops were strict; if you got caught, you were hauled off to jail.
Moreover, it was a civilized society now, who even resorted to violence anymore?
However, watching a good brother get beaten up like this was something everyone found unbearable.
"Bro, bro, bro, can’t we just talk this out, right?"
"Exactly, exactly, let’s sit down and talk, huh? If San has offended you in any way, can we apologize on his behalf first?"
"Bro, you see..."
Jiang Ye glanced at the few of them, not really intending to beat anyone up too badly.
If he seriously injured someone, how would he gather the information from behind the scenes?
"Can you guarantee he’ll behave?" he asked, shaking his hands.
This actually stumped the gang of punks, and after a two-second pause, they nodded in unison:
"We can, we absolutely can!"
If not, their brother might just get killed.
Seeing this, Jiang Ye hooked a chair over with his long legs and sat down.
The small-time hoodlums were quite perceptive; they hurried over to help their brother up.
Even with a broken leg, he could still sit up.
"Hold on, San."
What went unspoken: The moment this god of death leaves, we’ll rush you to the hospital.
San bit his lip so hard from the pain that he drew blood.
But compared to his previous ridiculous arrogance, he had become remarkably obedient.
Otherwise, it might not just be the leg that got broken.
Jiang Ye leaned back in the chair, legs crossed, his face the epitome of cold indifference:
"You should know why I’m here?"
After pulling off a bad deed, people aren’t likely to forget it that easily.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Ye finished speaking, Little Huang Mao’s face shook visibly.
The other punks weren’t blind; what else could there be to misunderstand? Clearly, their brother had done something to bring this upon himself.
For a moment, they didn’t know what to say, and so they remained silent.
Little Huang Mao nervously pursed his lips, glancing at Jiang Ye with a guilty conscience. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
He must have been debating whether to speak up or keep quiet.
But when his eyes landed on Jiang Ye’s face, full of cold air, any hesitation vanished instantly.
Now, it was undoubtedly about saving his own life!
"It was someone asking for a favor," he hastily explained.
Desperation tinged his voice, as if speaking a word too slowly would pin the blame on himself.
"Someone asking for a favor?"
"Yes, yes, that’s it."
Huang Mao nodded nonstop, completely ignoring any pain he felt.
Jiang Ye’s lips curled into a cold smirk as he asked slowly:
"Who?"
Huang Mao stiffened instantly, seemingly reluctant to speak.
"This... I..."
His hesitation made the others anxious:
"Speak, San!"
"Why beat around the bush?"
Do you have a death wish?
Little Huang Mao steeled himself:
"I’ll speak, can’t I? It’s this girl I like, she asked me to help her out."
The girl he liked was not his girlfriend, no wonder!
They’d dug up Little Huang Mao’s family history down to eighteen generations and found nothing amiss.
Otherwise, Jiang Ye wouldn’t have needed to make this trip himself.
Jiang Ye’s gaze shifted:
"The girl you like? What’s her name?"
