Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 266 - 265: This Is Not Logical

The welder laughed wildly, and said to the dozen or so henchmen around him, "This girl is really clueless, asking questions like these. What business are we in? Well, we’re what people call thugs. Do thugs need a reason? We just can’t stand your store and don’t want you to keep running it. I’ve always told you, take your people and leave right away, there’s nothing for you here. But if you stick around, we might not be so polite."

The henchmen around him were chuckling, rocking back and forth.

Gu Xiaoqing was a bit muddled, but seemed to understand that maybe this wasn’t related to her.

Because what the welder said was, there’s nothing here for you.

That means it’s unrelated to her.

So if it’s unrelated to her, it’s related to the property owner.

Gu Xiaoqing almost wanted to cry, thinking she was really out of luck.

"Brother Welder, what you said is wrong. This store is mine, and you want to smash it casually without even checking if I’ll allow it. Since I’m a little girl daring to run a store here, I’m not afraid of trouble. You better not provoke someone you shouldn’t. When the time comes to clean up, you’ll have to see if I agree or not."

Gu Xiaoqing’s words were firm and resolute, her momentum impressive, which left the welder a bit puzzled, secretly wondering if there was some big shot behind this store.

However, the order I received was to give the house owner a warning. No one mentioned that there was a store here. I thought this store was part of the whole property.

But it doesn’t seem that way.

Because the welder knew the property owner here was a man, and if he didn’t investigate these people properly before taking action, he wouldn’t know how many times he had to die.

Back then, they did investigate thoroughly. This property owner was just a commoner, but they really hadn’t investigated the store.

Who would take the trouble to do this kind of thing?

The welder sneered, not believing that while trying to earn some extra cash, he would run into a tough character.

"Little girl, your words are too big to take back. I don’t believe in evil. How about we try it and see what happens after I smash it?"

He stared intently at Gu Xiaoqing, trying to see something in her face.

Unfortunately, there really was nothing to be seen on Gu Xiaoqing’s face. In fact, the welder couldn’t see that Gu Xiaoqing’s legs were a bit weak. It was the first time in two lifetimes she encountered thugs causing trouble.

Gu Xiaoqing was truly afraid, but her years of experience told her that even if she feared, she should only fear in her heart. The more afraid she showed herself to these people, the less effective it would be.

Besides, Gu Xiaoqing was still waiting for the police and Han Xiao.

As long as she could stall until either side arrived, she would have a chance to win — at least her store could be preserved.

"Then you can try it; I don’t mind a bit."

Saying this, Gu Xiaoqing even took the initiative to step aside, clearing the store’s entrance, which surprised the welder greatly.

The group of henchmen put away their laughter and mischievousness. They weren’t fools. Faced with such a strange situation, those with some sense began calculating.

Figuring out how to handle such a problem. They were thugs, but it didn’t mean they were brainless. They generally avoided provoking people or things that they shouldn’t mess with. They bullied the weak but were cautious of the strong, so they would dodge real challenges if possible.

Jimaocai, a short, bald man with a few strands of sparse hair on his head, squeezed next to the welder and hesitantly asked, "Big brother, this looks off."

The few people around no longer dared to laugh and joke freely. Don’t underestimate a woman; not every woman can be messed with.

They were all watching how the welder planned to act.

The welder was also indecisive; this was indeed a dilemma with no way out.

What to do?

He had taken someone’s money. If he didn’t do the job, it would be unreasonable. How could he survive in the future?

He wouldn’t want to be ridiculed by his brothers for it, but if he took action indiscriminately, he felt uncertain inside.

It was truly a dilemma.

At this crucial juncture, someone suddenly appeared.

Han Xiao!

He had been temporarily called in to act as a savior, but unfortunately, as the best candidate for a savior, he was clearly unqualified.

Looking at him in plaid pajamas — okay, considering he was dragged out of bed, that makes sense — but with messy hair and sleep in his eyes, nobody could see the potential of Han Xiao being a savior from any angle.

Yet, he arrived with an expression of discontent, glaring at the welder and his group, exuding displeasure, "What are you doing?"

Nonsense!

The welder frowned. Where did this guy come from, causing trouble? It wasn’t enough to have one woman, and now there was an extra man.

"Can’t you tell? Smashing stuff."

The welder wouldn’t hold back.

He couldn’t recognize who this person was, at least not someone he knew.

In this vast sea of people, there were many people he didn’t know, most of whom were insignificant in the welder’s eyes. But he would remember the significant figures.

So the welder simply treated this man as air.

"Smashing stuff? You’re pretty bold. Do you know this is Hengsheng’s territory and you still dare to make trouble here?"

Han Xiao was really annoyed, woken up by a call from one of Gu Xiaoqing’s employees. He only came back from a night club at three last night, having got quite tipsy with a few bad friends.

He was in deep sleep when Li Caiqing called him up.

If not for Gu Xiaoqing, Han Xiao wouldn’t get up even if the sky were falling.

So you really can’t blame anyone for his current look.

He seemed to have thrown all of Mr. Han’s usual elegance and grace miles away.

It’s no wonder the welder didn’t recognize him. If Han Xiao had appeared in proper attire, the welder might have given it more thought. Unfortunately, Han Xiao’s current look was truly appalling.

"Hengsheng? So what, the property owner here messed with Cheng Shuo’s people. Looking at you, you seem to be a well-known person in the underworld. If you have nothing to do, don’t meddle. Or else, don’t blame me for being rude and hitting you too."

The welder didn’t want to think anymore. It seemed these two might just be putting on airs, lacking any substantial threat.

The boss of Hengsheng and several notable figures from there probably wouldn’t pay attention to such a small store.

If there were connections, they wouldn’t be hiding in such a backwater spot.

That’s just unscientific.
