Jiang Sheng was thinking this to himself, and he already had a solution in mind.
“It’s easy to get this hundred now, but don’t worry, I will definitely find out who is behind this.”
"Who else could it be!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Defu retorted without even thinking, "Who else, besides Chen Yaofu, would have a grudge against us now?"
“That’s not necessarily true,” Jiang Sheng glanced meaningfully at Zhao Defu and said vaguely, “Lin Jiafu by the eldest sister’s side, Zhou Changgui by the second sister’s side, and Zhang Sicheng by the third sister’s side, any one of these three people could be a suspect, but it’s not certain that only Chen Yaofu is a suspect.”
Of course, besides these few people, there should be others...
Looking at Jiang Sheng's meaningful smile, Zhao Defu was somewhat puzzled.
He asked with some curiosity, "Brother Sheng, just tell me, who is it? I think all these people are suspects. Who do you think is more suspicious?"
"It's not clear at the moment."
Although Jiang Sheng spoke with certainty, he actually already had a vague idea of who should take action.
As for whether this person is indeed the one who did it, it still needs to be verified through one's own investigation.
"But I really didn't expect them to actually leave like that."
Zhao Defu couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh, his face still showing some surprise.
"What," Jiang Sheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease, "Are you planning to call them back and let them beat us up before you're satisfied?"
"Of course not!"
Zhao Defu quickly waved his hand: "It would be best if they could leave. Now I understand what that means: if money can settle things, then it's not a problem!"
That's exactly the point.
This statement is a profound truth, both now and in the future!
The two continued walking and chatting.
However, just as they reached the third corner, and were about to return to school...
The group of thugs who had just left suddenly rushed out from the alley around the corner.
Judging from their expressions, it seemed like they were being targeted on purpose.
These people were still holding batons, staring at Jiang Sheng and Zhao Defu with ill intent.
As for the leader of the thugs, he was not included in this group; only the five henchmen behind the thug leader surrounded the two of them.
"What," Jiang Sheng frowned, his expression not very good, "you've already taken the money, and now you're planning to take action, is that it?"
"I didn't expect you to be so smart."
One of the henchmen chuckled maliciously, "Our boss just said he'd let you go, but we, the underlings, didn't say that!"
"If we just let you go like this, we won't be able to explain it to our employer. You can only blame your bad luck. I do have some connections with the employer, and all you'll get are some scratches!"
"A bunch of despicable and shameless scoundrels!"
Zhao Defu couldn't help but curse, "Since you've gone back on your word, then come over here. I'm going to have a good chat with you bunch of bastards!"
"Don't blame us for lacking professional ethics," the thug said with a sneer. "The fact that we didn't use batons this time is already the most polite thing we can do for you!"
Seeing the thugs swarming towards them, they threw their batons aside and then attacked the two of them.
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, these people weren't carrying batons, otherwise he and Zhao Defu would definitely be badly injured today.
These thugs in front of me are not as easy to talk to as the leader from before. Their flip-flopping is probably not only because they have a relationship with the employer, but also because they want to pocket the remaining balance and do the employer a favor.
At this moment, Jiang Sheng and Zhao Defu were also unarmed. Although the group of thugs in front of them had all thrown their batons aside and were fighting hand-to-hand, they were still fighting them.
However, the other side had more people, and they were outnumbered. Even though the two who were used to training managed to drive them away in the end, they still suffered a lot of injuries, especially on their faces. Jiang Sheng's cheeks and neck were covered in bruises.
"Luckily, we drove them away!"
Exhausted and aching, Zhao Defu plopped down on the ground and leaned against a tree by the roadside.
"If they hadn't left, even if they hadn't killed us, they would have crippled us!"
Jiang Sheng's face was as cold as frost, his expression indifferent.
He never expected these people to go back on their word, taking the money and then severely injuring them.
It seems that the people who hired them are quite capable in the ways of the world; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to afford to hire such ruthless thugs.
"I'm so angry!" Zhao Defu shouted. "Don't let me find out who they are, or I'll definitely have my uncle teach them a lesson!"
Not to mention Zhao Defu, Jiang Sheng was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
"These people dared to go back on their word; I will never let them off easily!"
As soon as Jiang Sheng finished speaking, Zhao Defu nodded without hesitation.
"That's right, Brother Sheng, we absolutely can't let this go like this. If we don't retaliate, they'll really think we're easy to bully!"
Zhao Defu grew angrier as he spoke: "If I find out who did it, I'll give them a good beating!"
Zhao Defu covered his wound while cursing loudly.
“Alright, Defu,” Jiang Sheng patted him on the shoulder, “It’s dark now, and the residents around are all asleep. You’d better keep your voice down.”
Zhao Defu finally shut his mouth, but after a moment he couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his voice and said with absolute certainty, "Anyway, in my opinion, apart from that bastard Chen Yaofu, no one else would be so arrogant!"
"We gave them eight hundred, and in the end we still got beaten up. We lost both our money and our reputation. I'm so angry just thinking about it!"
"Brother Sheng, you're not really going to just watch us get beaten up for nothing, are you?!"
Although Zhao Defu has a lot of money now, he won't care about a mere eight hundred yuan.
But the more Zhao Defu thought about giving this money to such a bunch of beasts, the more painful it became.
"How could that be!"
Jiang Sheng said angrily, "I will definitely have a serious talk with them about this. It's not our style not to retaliate."
That's what he said, but Jiang Sheng knew very well that if he really wanted to take revenge, it wouldn't be as easy as he imagined.
