“The place where deep affection couldn’t reach had long been entered by someone driving a Maybach.”
After realizing he was just a backup option, Xia Tian hardened his heart and stopped believ...
Chapter 50: Surrounded by gangsters, the stubborn Fang Yu
Ten o'clock at night.
"Xiaotian, do you want to ask the store owner to send another 200 bottles over? There are only the last 30 bottles left."
Amid the noisy crowd, Fang Yu shouted in Xia Tian's ear.
Because there were so many young people on the bar street, the more than 200 bottles of beer they started with in the summer had already been sold out.
What we are selling now are the second batch of 250 bottles of beer.
Also, in the summer, my cell phone was turned off because I was constantly using the stopwatch to time things. Now I have switched to a digital watch.
Looking at the people gathered around, Xia Tian estimated that he could probably sell more than a hundred bottles.
He immediately nodded to Fang Yu:
"Well, go there yourself and ask the boss to send another hundred bottles over."
"Then you hold on here first, I'll be back to help soon!"
When Fang Yu was about to go to the store, the crowd was suddenly pushed aside.
A group of young people with colorfully dyed hair walked up to the stall.
They were wearing moccasins, with bare ankles and cigarettes in their mouths, and their faces showed signs of rebelliousness.
When the people around saw them, they took a few steps back as if they were avoiding the plague.
The yellow-haired leader was called Zhang Dong. He glanced at Xia Tian, then stretched out his loafers and kicked the small blackboard there:
"Little brother, is everything written on this blackboard true?"
Xia Tian looked at the group of people and frowned, but still nodded: "It's true."
"Okay, let me show you two bottles. But... are these wines of yours of good quality? Will there be any problems after drinking them?"
"It's okay, they're all new."
"I feel relieved when you say this."
Zhang Dong smiled but didn't really smile, then he pushed out a younger brother behind him:
"Amao, come and teach these two little brothers a lesson."
"Leave it to me, Brother Dong!"
The gangster named A Mao smiled, took out money from his pocket and put it on the table.
Then he simply picked up the bottle, signaling that the time for summer could begin.
Xia Tian kept frowning, always feeling that these people were not here just to challenge him.
But with so many people around him, he only hesitated for a moment and started the countdown: "Three, two, one..."
The gangster named A Mao started drinking, but surprisingly.
He is nothing like the previous challengers.
A Mao drank very slowly and it took him more than ten seconds to finish the bottle of beer in his hand.
After finishing the drink, he showed a look of regret on his face: "I'm sorry, brother Dong, I always feel that this beer tastes a bit strange, it's really hard to drink it."
"waste!"
Zhang Dong kicked A Mao while scolding him with a smile, then looked at Xia Tian again: "My buddy failed the challenge, so I, as the big brother, will take over."
After saying that, he started taking money out of his pocket.
But at this moment.
The gangster named Amao's face changed, and he suddenly fell to the ground, holding his stomach and rolling around.
"It hurts! My stomach hurts so much!"
"Brother Dong, there's something wrong with this wine!"
When Zhang Dong saw A Mao rolling on the ground, his face changed immediately.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Tian and Fang Yu with fierce eyes:
"Damn it, didn't you two say that alcohol was okay? Why did my buddy become like this?!"
"Damn, a shady stall, huh?"
Seeing Ah Mao rolling on the ground in pain, Fang Yu was stunned.
He was anxious and quickly explained: "Brother, there is absolutely no problem with our beer! We sold hundreds of bottles before you came, and no one had such a problem."
Zhang Dong looked at Fang Yu coldly, his tone was particularly cold:
"So what you mean is that I'm lying with my eyes open? So many people around saw it, my buddy became like this because he drank your beer, and you still want to deny it?"
"I....but our beer is really fine!"
Fang Yu had never seen such a scene before, and his mind went blank.
He looked at Zhang Dong and A Mao at a loss.
He wanted to go forward to check on A Mao who was rolling on the ground, but was immediately blocked by the people behind Zhang Dong.
At this time, those passers-by who originally wanted to participate in the challenge.
I immediately kept my distance from Xia Tian and the others, fearing that I would be implicated.
See this scene.
Xia Tian finally realized it.
The group of thugs in front of them were coming right for them.
Xia Tian pulled the bewildered Fang Yu behind him and looked at Zhang Dong with narrowed eyes.
"Dude, I can guarantee that our wine is fine. Even if your friend has a stomachache, it may not be caused by drinking our wine... Besides, his acting is a bit too exaggerated?"
"You said the wine is fine? What evidence do you have? I'm telling you, my brother has always been in good health. It's definitely your wine that's the problem!"
Xia Tian licked his lips: "So how do you want to solve it now?"
"Take 5,000 yuan and I'll take my brother to the hospital for treatment. I'll pretend this never happened."
When Xia Tian heard the other party asking for money, he understood.
It turned out that these thugs were here to cause trouble for them, and they had already discussed it before coming.
He and Fang Yu happened to earn about this amount that evening.
Xia Tian didn't believe that the yellow-haired man in front of him thought the number he said was a coincidence.
Thinking of this, he was no longer polite to Huangmao.
His expression suddenly turned cold.
"If it's just a stomachache, going to the hospital to see a doctor won't cost even 500 yuan, but you asked for 5,000 yuan. I'm afraid you're after our money, right?"
"If you insist that your friend's stomachache is caused by drinking our wine, then ok, no problem, I'll take him to the hospital for a checkup. If the hospital says it's really because of drinking, then I'll cover all the subsequent treatment costs."
"If it's not.... then I'm sorry, I won't pay a dime."
Zhang Dong obviously didn't expect Xia Tian's attitude to be so tough, and his expression gradually became playful.
"No compensation? That's fine, then we brothers will make you suffer a little."
After saying that, Zhang Dong winked at the people behind him.
They all rolled up their sleeves and surrounded Xia Tian and Fang Yu.
"Fang Yu, call the police!"
"Xiao, Xiaotian, my phone is out of battery..."
Hearing Fang Yu's trembling voice, Xia Tian's heart trembled.
Only then did I remember that my phone had run out of battery and turned off an hour ago.
He immediately looked at the people around him, only to find that they were all hiding far away.
Many people have already dispersed, obviously not wanting to get involved in this dispute.
Seeing this scene, Xia Tian was stunned and suddenly realized a serious problem.
It is now 2013, and the nationwide campaign to combat organized crime and eliminate evil will not begin until five years later.
Therefore, the social security at the moment is not very ideal, especially the bar street which is already full of all kinds of people.
Suddenly, Xia Tian's heart sank.
This is bad!
Before setting up the stall, he completely ignored the issue of public security.
The bar street itself is mostly populated by young people, and these gangsters in front of us are obviously those who travel here all year round.
I'm afraid even if they successfully called the police.
These little thugs in front of me are not afraid at all.
They are just a bunch of young people who don't know how to be scared of the police.
Thinking of this, Xia Tian finally felt a little flustered.
"Xiaotian, what should we do...Should we fight them? We can't give them the money we worked so hard to earn. They are just trying to blackmail us!"
Fang Yu said this and picked up a wine bottle.
Although his voice was trembling, his steps did not retreat at all.
If it were in the previous life, Xia Tian would have made the same choice as Fang Yu.
No big deal, just do it!
But Xia Tian lived two lives as a human being.
He knew very well that impulse is the devil.
"Fang Yu, put down the bottle! It's not worth it to spend the money for this order. You can earn money again if you lose it, but if you touch the bottle, the nature of the matter will change!"
"But Xiaotian..."
"lay down!"
Fang Yu was shocked when he saw his childhood friend's serious expression.
After reacting, he clenched his teeth again, his face full of stubbornness.
This time, Fang Yu did not choose to listen to Xia Tian.
"I won't let go!"
"We are not afraid of them. We all have two shoulders to support our heads. Why should we be afraid of them?"
Xia Tian made a "tsk" sound, thinking that children are just children after all, and will always act on impulse.
Zhang Dong and others were approaching step by step, and Fang Yu was also ready to go.
Just as the situation was getting out of control, an old but majestic voice suddenly rang out.
"Whoever dares to do this today will be put in jail for life!"
