After receiving Cao Xiaobei's instructions, the men behind him rushed into my house carrying baseball bats and other equipment, and then I heard the sound of a mirror shattering... Just as I was about to rush in to stop them, I was stopped by Cao Xiaobei and another man wearing a helmet.
Cao Xiaobei still spoke to me coldly, "If you know what's good for you, just stand still... These swords, spears, and clubs don't have eyes. If they get angry, they'll all come at you. You think you can handle that?!"
I threatened, "You son of a bitch... I haven't even tied you up yet, and you dare to come looking for trouble... Cao Xiaobei, there's a limit to being a bastard... If you dare to smash up this place today, and I catch you alone in the future, I'll fucking kill you half a dog's life."
Cao Xiaobei, with an air of utter indifference, looked into the room and replied to me with a half-smile, "It's already smashed, so what are you going to do about it?!"
"Fuck your grandpa..."
I gritted my teeth. If it were before, I would have seized the opportunity to beat Cao Xiaobei to a pulp. But at this moment, I gradually calmed down. I took out my phone from my pocket, turned on the video recording function, and recorded their violence scene by scene in the room.
I pointed the camera at Cao Xiaobei again and said, "If you really have the guts, say what you just said in front of the camera again."
Cao Xiaobei lit a cigarette, then pressed his face close to the camera and swayed left and right, saying mockingly, "I'm the one who smashed the house... So what... What can you do to me?"
I didn't waste any words with him and shoved him away so that the camera could capture his deserving-to-be-cut-a-thousand-tears-of-tears appearance more clearly.
...
Five minutes passed, and the group smashed their way from the first floor to the second floor. I heard the sound of glass shattering again... But Cao Xiaobei was prepared. He had sent one person to guard the entrance and the end of the alley, so despite the commotion, there wasn't a single onlooker.
My heart sank little by little... I never imagined that since I entered Jiulongju, I would cause so many troubles! ...Amidst the constant cracking sounds, I felt extremely tired...There was even a moment when I felt utterly hopeless.
That Cao Xiaobei is such a damn bastard! And I finally know what it feels like to be added insult to injury and feel utterly hopeless.
Ten minutes, a full ten minutes, before Cao Xiaobei's group of men finally emerged from the room carrying their tools... Cao Xiaobei gave each of them a pack of cigarettes, and they scattered, leaving only Cao Xiaobei behind.
Cao Xiaobei shrugged at me and said provocatively, "The person is already gone. Didn't you want me to die? If you don't come, you're a coward."
I laughed angrily: "I'm not going to fight you... We can talk about it at the police station later."
I'm going to call the police.
Cao Xiaobei said with a half-smile, "Michael, I've never seen such a coward as you... When you stormed into my house and beat me up, did I call the police?... Heh, you really think the police are your parents, huh? In the future, when you're hungry, will you have to ask them to feed you some 'milk'?"
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you... You have to pay for this."
Cao Xiaobei took a drag of his cigarette, then reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a bit. My first thought was that he was hiding a weapon... but instead he pulled out a bunch of keys and tossed them to me...
I stared at him blankly, wondering what trick he was playing.
Cao Xiaobei said to me, "...I, Cao Xiaobei, am a man of my word. I came to smash your house today because I said those harsh words; besides, you stormed into my house and beat me up for no reason, and I can't swallow this humiliation..." He paused for a moment, then continued, "What you have in your hand now are all the keys to the shops here... Regarding your relationship with my dad, I'm not targeting him personally, but he really did something unfair... So, I've brought you the keys. Do whatever you want without worry. As long as you mention my name, Cao Xiaobei, no one will dare to bother you."
I stared at Cao Xiaobei in disbelief, unable to tell whether she was an angel or a devil.
"Michael...you have video footage of me vandalizing the house. If you don't call the police, we'll call it even. If you do call the police, I won't stop you...heh, but you just wait, I never like to be taken advantage of..."
I finally spoke up: "I know you don't like to be taken advantage of... After all, like father, like son."
Cao Xiaobei put his hands behind his head, then looked into the room again and laughed loudly: "That's fucking satisfying... haha!"
As he spoke, he picked up his helmet from the ground, patted his behind, and walked out of the alley... I stared at his back in disbelief, completely stunned!
...
Cao Xiaobei had been gone for a while before I finally entered the house. When I faced the broken glass all over the floor, I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh... Suddenly remembering something, I ran to the balcony on the second floor and saw that the marguerites that Ye Zhi and I had planted were still intact. Only then did I feel relieved.
When I checked more carefully, I found that the damage was not as serious as I had imagined. Those people only smashed some fragile items such as glass, but did not smash valuable items such as electrical appliances... It was probably because Cao Xiaobei had given instructions beforehand not to go too far.
I took the set of keys Cao Xiaobei gave me and tried them on the locks that had been replaced, and they all opened...
