Chapter 184 This is hush money
"There's a fight going on ahead. It must be a highway robbery."
Lu Yuan raised his chin and said.
It is normal for people to fight and rob in this kind of world, but those people were right in the middle of the road, blocking their way.
Han Ying raised her head and looked forward. This was not a fight at all; it was clearly a one-sided beating.
There were four people in front, three men and one woman.
The three men were beaten unilaterally by the woman and fell to their knees on the ground.
Han Ying also saw that one of them had a buzz cut and his arm was in a very irregular shape, obviously broken by the woman.
The woman looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with short hair and wearing a black short-sleeved suit.
His moves were quick, sharp and ruthless, which must have been the result of long hours of practice.
"She used Muay Thai just now, and she had a machete on her back. She knocked down those three guys without even using the knife. It's not easy."
Lu Yuan has never practiced Muay Thai systematically, but he has fought with people who practiced Muay Thai.
The sudden turn of the car lights did not affect the movements of the woman in front.
The three men were beaten so badly that they couldn't move, and no one knew whether they were dead or not.
After the battle, the short-haired woman searched their bodies for a while with the help of the car lights, and finally put the spoils into a bag, then looked at Han Ying and their car.
The light was too dazzling. Han Ying and the others could see the woman's appearance clearly in the car, but she could not see Han Ying and Lu Yuan.
Instead of coming over, the short-haired woman dragged the three men, who were unknown whether dead or alive, to the side and made room for Han Ying and their car.
The car started slowly, and when it passed by the short-haired woman, she knocked on Han Ying's window.
Han Ying suddenly had a loaded gun in her hand, and then she lowered the car window by one third.
The short-haired woman didn't say a word, but just handed over two points cards, both with a face value of 100.
Is this hush money?
Han Ying understood the meaning of hush money, so he took her points and pretended he didn't see what happened just now.
Han Ying took the two points cards and decided to give them away.
The main thing is that even if there were no 200 points, she and Lu Yuan would not interfere.
There were no street lights around. After Lu Yuan drove out, Han Ying could only vaguely see the figure of the short-haired woman in the rearview mirror.
Her eyes were always on Han Ying and their car.
"Have you seen this man before?"
Han Ying asked after the car drove away for a distance.
This short-haired woman is so skilled and ruthless. If you have seen her, it is impossible not to have an impression of her.
But Han Ying had no impression of her in either her previous life or this life.
"I've seen her. She used to work at the farm. I don't remember her name. She was in a different group from me. She was still working at the farm when I delivered the cactus there."
"However, I remember that he was not in a very good condition back then. He was completely different from now."
Lu Yuan answered truthfully.
"So those three men saw that she was alone and wanted to steal her supplies, but they got robbed instead?"
There have been more and more highway robberies recently, especially during the days when farms and bases are distributing points.
But it's not time to get off work yet, so the short-haired woman probably isn't working on the farm today.
"She is not alone. You may not be able to see it from your angle, but from my side I can see there is a child hiding next to her. She should be about six or seven years old, a little older than Lei Yuhang."
It is normal for a young woman with a child of six or seven years old to be robbed while walking on the road at night.
North Street was not far from the night market, so the two drove straight over without stopping.
This time there was no cover, they parked the car directly at the entrance and exit.
Seeing the familiar-looking car stopped, Scar Wei stood up from his seat.
"Hey, Brother Tangyuan, Sister Tangyuan, is there any good news?"
When I walked to the front of the car, two people just got out of it.
"Any paintings today?"
Lu Yuan spoke directly.
"Yes, but not many, only two. I just spread the news, and the earliest will be tomorrow."
Scar Wei brought over a bag behind his chair, which contained two scrolls.
Han Ying took the scroll and opened it to take a look.
Both paintings are from the Ming Dynasty, and both are landscape paintings.
Well preserved, no blemishes.
"How about it? How many small umbrellas can these two paintings be exchanged for?"
Scar Wei glanced at Han Ying, then moved closer to Lu Yuan and asked in a low voice.
"How much do you want?"
Lu Yuan asked back.
"Of course the more the better, but I also know that's impossible. How about 30?"
Scar Wei raised three fingers.
"10. You should know how hard it is to get this stuff."
Lu Yuan is also not unfamiliar with asking for a high price and paying back on the spot.
"Brother, you're too ruthless. You cut two-thirds of them in half. What about the other 20?"
Scar Wei just put on a bitter face. He had seen people who were ruthless in bargaining, but he had never seen anyone as ruthless as this one.
He should have asked Sister Tangyuan directly, maybe she would have given it to him more readily.
"At most 13, no more."
Lu Yuan did not insist on giving only 10. After all, he couldn't be too harsh.
"make a deal!"
Although it is a little less than expected, this thing is indeed more scarce than food now.
There are 13 of them. If he sells a few of them, he can not only make back some of his losses but also make some profit.
After putting away the painting, the two went to the night market again, but they didn't see anything they needed to buy, so they went home directly.
....
When Han Ying and Lu Yuan had just left North Street.
The short-haired woman watched them leave, then pulled out a scimitar from her waist and stabbed each of the three men she had knocked unconscious.
After making sure that the three were dead, the short-haired woman picked up the boy who was hiding nearby and carried two bags of supplies she had placed nearby.
"Aunt, did you kill them all?"
The little boy asked timidly while hugging the short-haired woman's neck.
"Yes, are you scared?"
The short-haired woman patted the little boy on the back.
"Don't be afraid, they are bad guys who want to steal our things. Auntie, please teach me how to box. I will protect you from now on..."
The two walked on the dark street. They didn't know how long they had been walking, but they finally arrived at Yuefu Jiangnan.
After entering Yuefu Jiangnan, the short-haired woman went into a public toilet and then came out.
Then she held the little boy in her arms and walked directly to Building 13 at the back.
At this time, the entire Building 13 was pitch black.
However, after staying in the dark for a long time, my eyes have adapted to the darkness and I can actually see a little bit.
The two climbed all the way to the 23rd floor, and the short-haired woman opened the door with the key.
