Chapter 54 Negotiations between the Two Parties

"Brother Cheng, let's go. These people didn't even think about negotiating terms. They just came up with unreasonable terms, which made me feel really frustrated."

"We might as well have a good fight!" said a young man who had been driving Wei Laicheng's cars for a while, his tone indignant.

"superior!"

Wei Laicheng had long since lost his temper, saying that he could do whatever he wanted, but how dare he look at his wife with those eyes?

A group of people instantly started fighting, and the scene was quite intense.

Most of the men on Wei Laicheng's side were young men, which gave them a certain advantage.

But the group of people who blocked the car were not at all inferior, under the guidance of the seasoned Tiger.

"Gangzi, watch out behind you!" Wei Laicheng heard this and quickly looked over. What he saw made his face turn pale.

"Gangzi, lie down."

Then, a man behind him, his eyes bloodshot, raised a shovel and was about to chop at Gangzi's neck.

If this cut were to hit a major artery, it would be a serious matter.

At the critical moment, Wei Laicheng lunged forward, seemingly ready to take the blow of the shovel for him.

Seeing this scene while sitting in the car, Jiang Xixi's mind snapped, and she couldn't help but yell.

"Wei Laicheng, no!"

"Hiss~"

The shovel finally struck, and Wei Laicheng's clothes on his arm were instantly stained red with blood.

But upon seeing the blood, the man became even more agitated and, wielding the shovel, chopped downwards again.

And beneath the shovel lay Wei Laicheng's head.

...

"Xiao Lie, stop right now! Your wife is waiting for you at home."

An aged voice came from afar, its tone filled with sorrow and disappointment.

"Village chief, what brings you here?"

The group of people who were blocking the car dropped their weapons almost the instant they heard the voice.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask? If I hadn't come, you would have committed a terrible crime today!" The old man, known as the village chief, angrily banged his cane on the ground a few times.

Once inside, it wasn't just the ground that was being rubbed by the cane, but also the group of people blocking the car.

Strangely enough, this group of people, who were so arrogant just moments before, became as docile as rabbits after the old man arrived.

Jiang Xixi got out of the car at this moment, followed by Lan Miqian, who was carrying a medical kit.

"There really are women here, and they're really pretty," someone muttered from the group blocking the way.

Almost as soon as he uttered a sound, he was locked onto by the old man's gaze, followed by a heavy slap with his cane.

"Ouch~ Honey, be gentle, it hurts." Jiang Xixi didn't say a word when she was applying medicine to Wei Laicheng, but her expression and actions revealed one thing.

That is, she was extremely angry!

"Ouch~ That hurts." This time, Jiang Xixi couldn't hold back, and sarcastic words came out of her mouth.

"Weren't you quite heroic when you were playing the hero just now? Now you're in pain? You, Wei the Hero, can feel pain?"

After she finished speaking, Jiang Xixi ignored Wei Laicheng's cries of pain during the subsequent application of the medicine.

However, if you look closely, you will find that Jiang Xixi's eyes are full of heartache.

The current situation is like this...

The convoy members spontaneously formed a circle, with Jiang Xixi and the injured Wei Laicheng inside it.

On the other side, the old man stood at the very front, with the culprit, Tiger, standing next to him.

The two groups were in a standoff.

“Gangzi, let’s go. Let’s not go to Rongcheng first. Let’s go to Hancheng first. After what happened, we have to seek justice.”

Although the old man opposite her had been showing a guilty expression on his face since he arrived, Jiang Xixi did not soften her heart at all.

As the convoy escorted Jiang Xixi and her companion toward the car, they showed no intention of speaking to them.

The old man finally lost his temper and swung his cane hard at Tiger again.

He also cursed, "You little brat, why aren't you going to apologize to them right now?"

"Old man, what are you apologizing for? I feel we didn't do anything wrong. We're men, we're fathers, our wives and children are starving. What else can we do but do this? Watch them starve to death?"

"I'm so angry! You guys are going to rebel! Girl, they really didn't mean it. I promise you, I'll teach them a lesson when we get back and make sure they never dare to do such a despicable thing again. Can you please let them off the hook? I'm begging you, please?"

The old man's face was full of bitterness, and he was also feeling distressed.

The children I watched grow up have turned out like this. It's all because he, the village chief, is incompetent; he can't even get them enough food.

That's what led them down this path.

While the old man was speaking, he threw down his cane and knelt down on the ground.

"Village chief, what are you doing?"

"We are the ones who are worthless, we apologize to you, you can kill us or torture us as you please, but our village chief is innocent, what do you mean by this?"

An old man knelt shakily on the ground; it has to be said, this scene was truly heartbreaking.

Didn't you see that several young men in the convoy had expressions of reluctance on their faces? One of them even leaned close to Jiang Xixi, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated?

Jiang Xixi was so angry at these people that she laughed.

You're the ones who are seriously hurt emotionally, right? And this isn't how you treat other people's money.

"Old man, I sincerely advise you, if you really want what's best for them, don't stop me. Go to the police station, maybe they'll learn their lesson."

Judging from their appearance, they're probably thinking about pulling off another heist next time.

This can't just end like this. My husband is so badly injured; I will make those responsible pay the price.

"And you lot, you're not the ones who are emotionally wounded, are you? Didn't you see that shovel was aimed at killing your comrade? What right do you have to forgive them on their behalf? Just because you're so arrogant?"

These words made those people blush with shame.

“Girl, they were really driven to the brink, there was really no other way. Why don’t you forgive them just this once?”

Old man, I apologize to you on their behalf!

"Village chief, don't beg her. This is our territory, and there are so many of us here. If she doesn't agree, let them stay here. They dare to call the police? Let their ghosts call the police!"

As he spoke, the man picked up his weapon from the ground again, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness.

"Have you all gone too far? You've abandoned your parents, wives, and children to do this deadly thing. Put it all down!"

Jiang Xixi saw this scene and finally understood.

This guy is playing both the good cop and the bad cop; he's setting a trap for them!

Jiang Xixi was about to say something when Wei Laicheng, who was standing beside her, stopped her.

"Honey, be careful they might do something desperate. Let's get to the city center first and call the police. Otherwise, we might not be able to get out of here." Wei Laicheng glanced warily at the people across the street.
