Seeing that Gu Jingmo was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Xia Jin simply lowered her head to eat and ignored him.
On Saturday, Xia Jin went to the store to check the accounts. He checked the two newly opened stores and then the old store. Xia Jin was very satisfied with the situation inside. The three store managers were managing well. After checking, Xia Jin went to the bank to deposit the money of the three stores. After depositing it, Xia Jin returned to the old store. This morning, Gu Jingmo went out. Xia Jin was alone at home with nothing to do, so he decided to come to the store to help out.
Xia Jin stayed until the evening, and after all the customers had left, she helped the staff clean up. As they were packing up and preparing to go home, an accident happened. Suddenly, seven or eight thugs broke into the store, all holding sticks.
When Aunt Cuihong and Aunt Liu saw this situation, they put Xia Jin behind them, and the two male shop assistants picked up the handy tools around them and pointed at them.
The yellow-haired thug in the lead pointed at the people in the store and said, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way. Don't block our way. I've heard that your store is rich, so I'll lend you some money today."
"Did you hear what our boss said? Go get the money quickly. Otherwise..." "Bang..." "This is what will happen." The gangster knocked the chair that was placed upside down on the table down with a stick. The little girls in the store were frightened when they heard the sound.
Xia Jin touched her trembling body and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Aunt Cuihong heard the scoundrel in front of her say this and pretended to be calm and said, "Our boss has taken all the money here today. We don't have much money left. Please be kind, everyone."
The thug next to the boss pointed at Aunt Liu and said, "You have no money? You're kidding me. I'm telling you, we've been squatting here all day, and so many people are coming to eat, and you say you have no money? Do you really think we're easy to fool?"
"Be smart and take out the money, and we can talk about everything."
Xia Jin patted Aunt Liu, then spoke from behind, "Will you let us go if I give you the money? Then let them all out first, and I'll get the money for you."
The boss said, "Do you think I'm stupid for letting you out so you can call for help? I'll tell you again, hurry up and get the money."
They were using the money to save their lives. Although Xia Jin didn't believe they would let them go so easily, she had to try anyway and try to delay the time as much as possible. Seeing that she hadn't returned yet, Gu Jingmo would definitely come out to look for her.
Xia Jin said calmly: "Then wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
Aunt Cuihong whispered to Xia Jin: "Boss, I can't..." Xia Jin shook her head and whispered to Aunt Cuihong: "Auntie can earn money again if she loses it. I can't let you get hurt."
Xia Jin walked to the counter and used his key to open the box containing the money. He pulled the box out directly. Xia Jin walked to the front holding the box and said, "Here is the money. I'll give it to you. Can you let us go?"
"Boss, look at this girl, she's pretty."
The yellow-haired boss said, "I have eyes, so you don't need to tell me whether I am good-looking or not."
"Boss, I mean we..."
"Why are you trying to snatch it from me?"
"How can that be? Boss, you go first."
The people in the store were even more furious when they heard these words. The two men rushed forward with their things and wanted to fight them. To them, Xia Jin was their benefactor. They had family problems or personal problems, making it difficult for them to find jobs. Xia Jin not only gave them a job, but also paid them higher wages than other places. They usually respected Xia Jin very much, and now hearing Xia Jin being insulted, they were of course very angry.
Xia Jin threw the money forward and said, "I've given you all the money. Please keep your promise and get out of the store right away with the money."
The yellow-haired boss looked at Xia Jin with a lustful look on his face and said, "Now I've changed my mind. I'll let them all go. How about you play with me?"
"Hahahaha, boss, you are too direct."
"Did you hear what our boss said? It's an honor for you to be favored by our boss, so just be happy."
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and agree to our boss's request."
The hooligans at the back started to jeer after hearing what their boss said. Xia Jin took a step back. Seeing Xia Jin step back, they thought Xia Jin was scared and laughed even more happily.
Xia Jin retreated to Aunt Cuihong's side and whispered, "Aunt, when we start fighting with them, you take advantage of the chaos to run away and go to my house to find Gu Jingmo to save us."
Aunt Cuihong said, "The boss and the others have their eyes on you. You should run first and we'll stall for time here. Besides, I'm strong and good at fighting, so I can stay here and let Xiao Cui go get some help."
Xia Jin shook her head and said, "Aunt, I can't run away. They will definitely keep an eye on me. Xiao Cui Cui doesn't know my house. Aunt, tell Xiao Cui to go out and hide during the chaos so that she doesn't get hurt by mistake."
The yellow-haired boss was getting impatient and said to Xia Jin, "What the hell are you dawdling for?"
Xia Jin winked at the rest of the people, then took a big step forward, picked up a chair and threw it at the people in front while they were not paying attention. The others watched Xia Jin's actions and picked up the tools in front of them and hit the gangsters.
The gang leader was caught off guard and was hit by Xia Jin's bench. He turned around and yelled at his brothers, "Hit them, you shameless bastards. But be careful not to kill that woman. I'll take care of her."
"Okay, boss."
The two groups engaged in a melee, but the gangsters still had the upper hand. Although the number of people on both sides was similar, Xia Jin's group was mostly women, and they were less powerful. However, Sister Xiaohua was really powerful, and she was very strong and chased the gangsters.
Xia Jin was holding a chair to block the yellow-haired man in front of her, and did not notice that there was someone behind her trying to pounce on her. Xiao Cui shouted from behind, "Boss, be careful behind you." Then she ran towards them with a stool, trying to save Xia Jin, but she was too far away from Xia Jin and had no time to save her.
Xia Jin blocked it with her hands and closed her eyes in fear. She heard a "bang" as the chair behind her collided with her body. The expected pain did not come. Xia Jin looked back and saw Gu Jingmo holding her while kicking out the person who was holding the chair and trying to hit her.
Gu Jingmo looked at Xia Jin nervously, looking her up and down and asked, "Baby, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Xia Jin was frightened that night. Normally, no one cared about her, so she just endured it. Now that someone cared about her and someone she could rely on, Xia Jin unconsciously complained to Gu Jingmo: "Brother, not only did they want to rob me of my money, but the boss also wanted to sleep with me."
