The car was driving very fast, and at that point there was no time to care about traffic rules.
I clenched my fists and could feel my palms were sweaty.
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
Time flew by as the car sped along, and before I knew it, I had arrived at the residential area where Xixi lived.
The neighborhood was completely dark, and it looked no different from usual.
When we arrived at the entrance of the residential area, the security guard stopped us.
"Sir/Madam, do you have a community access pass?"
I took out my phone and called Xixi, who then explained our identities to the security guard.
The security guard gave vague and ambiguous responses, but showed no intention of letting us leave.
"The residents inside have already said we can go in, so why won't they let us in?"
The security guard was getting impatient: "Why are there so many questions!"
"Rules are rules, and if you're not allowed in, you're not allowed in!"
"I'm in charge of this gate!"
"Go away, go back to where you came from!"
I'm really angry.
The greatest malice in life is to use one's limited power to make things as difficult as possible for others.
It's obvious that this security guard is doing just that!
I was trembling with anger, but I was more worried about Xixi inside than about being angry.
I suppressed my anger and gritted my teeth as I said:
"Let's just walk in, okay?"
"Wu Shi, let's go!"
The security guard slammed the door shut.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to let you in."
"We have explicit regulations here."
"No outsiders or vehicles are allowed to enter after 10 p.m."
"Looks like you two are going to make a wasted trip, hehe, unless..."
As the security guard spoke, he glanced at my bag and gestured with his finger, clearly indicating that he wanted a tip.
If I still can't see it, I'm a fool.
But this person is really despicable; I'm really unwilling to give him money.
But the thought of Xixi made him realize that every extra moment of delay would make Xixi's situation more dangerous.
Thinking of this, I could only grit my teeth, take out a hundred yuan from my waist and hand it to the security guard.
"Security guard, please make an exception for us. We really have an emergency."
To everyone's surprise, the security guard took the money and put it in his pocket, but still showed no intention of moving aside.
"Little girl, your sincerity isn't enough. It seems you're still not in a hurry enough."
Hearing the security guard say that made me tremble all over. I never expected that this security guard would go too far!
There's nothing we can do but accept the situation.
I pulled out another two hundred from my fanny pack and was about to hand it over.
At this moment, Wu Shi reached out and pushed the money back into my hand.
The security guard was annoyed that Wu Shi had stopped him from getting the money he was about to get, but he didn't say anything and continued to block the door.
This security guard probably already knew we were under his thumb.
Wu Shi turned around, his face turning cold.
He stared at the security guard, his tone no longer friendly:
"You're too greedy. Being too greedy will ruin you!"
"I'll give you three seconds to get out of this doorway, and we won't take back that hundred yuan."
The security guard scoffed, "Tch, trying to scare me?"
"Do you think I'm easily intimidated?!"
"I'm standing right here today. If you've got the guts, go ahead and try. If not, hmph, go cool off somewhere else!"
Wu Shi ignored the security guard's taunts and calmly counted:
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"No way, are you crazy? I want to see what you're up to..."
The security guard's words were cut off abruptly halfway through!
Wu Shi's hand was too fast; I didn't even see it clearly before he stuck a talisman on the security guard!
What they used was a stun talisman, which can control a person's skeletal and muscular tissues, rendering them unable to move or speak!
The security guard's eyes were filled with astonishment.
He may never understand how Wu Shi did it.
Wu Shi spoke again: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it."
Wu Shi reached out and took my hundred yuan from the security guard's pocket, then handed it back to me.
The security guard's eyes kept darting around; it seemed he was still conscious.
"Don't worry, the immobilization talisman will be removed in eight hours."
"It's good to teach you a lesson, so you won't make things difficult for others in the future."
Wu Shi took my hand and strode into the residential area.
Wu Shi's large hands were very strong. He usually looked very scholarly, but when it mattered, he showed an unusually domineering side!
I suddenly realized that I couldn't understand the man in front of me anymore.
But the most urgent task right now is to check on Sister Xixi's condition.
Ding-dong!
I rang the doorbell.
A short while later, a creaking sound rang out.
Xixi opened the door, and she didn't look very well.
When Xixi saw Wu Shi behind me, she was somewhat stunned.
"Xiao Xi, what's going on?"
"Isn't this your roommate?"
"How could he..."
Xi Xi was speaking halfway through when she seemed to have discovered something, and she was both shocked and speechless:
"He, he's the senior brother you mentioned?"
I nodded, indicating that she had guessed correctly.
Xixi's mouth was agape in disbelief.
Wow, is the world really that small?!
Wu Shi stepped forward and said, "Hello, it's nice to see you again."
Xixi quickly adapted to this setting, and it seems that Xixi was really a little anxious.
