Chapter 276 Mutual Help
"Eagle? John Bull? What are those?" Xiao Ze asked curiously.
Jiang Ruzhen waved her hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's not important. I was just marveling at how many treasures you have. These things are of immeasurable value."
Are you sure you want to donate it all to the motherland?
"Ha! You don't need to test my sincerity. After all, facilitating economic exchanges between the two countries is no easy task. I wouldn't go to such lengths to play you." Xiao Ze seemed to have misunderstood Jiang Ruzhen's words, thinking she was testing him.
Jiang Ruzhen quickly explained, "I didn't mean to test you. I just meant, is your family very wealthy?"
Xiao Ze's expression was somewhat strange as he looked at Jiang Ruzhen, "You don't actually think I obtained these things through legitimate means, do you?"
Jiang Ruzhen was stunned by his words, her eyes widening. "Mr. Xiao, you don't have connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, do you?"
"Otherwise what..." Before Xiao Ze could finish speaking, a sudden riot broke out outside.
A burst of machine gun fire echoed through the basement, and everyone's expressions became tense.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ze asked in a cold voice.
"Boss, the Black Bear Gang next door is causing trouble again," the bodyguard replied nervously.
"Shift!" Xiao Ze cursed under his breath. He said impatiently to Jiang Ruzhen, "To avoid any unforeseen problems, have your people move these things away quickly."
"Take the valuables first, and I'll find a way to send the rest back to China later."
After Xiao Ze finished speaking, he strode to the door, listened to the gunshots outside, and then strode back.
"Hurry up, I don't know how long my men can hold out, and how much you can actually take... um? Where's the stuff?"
In the blink of an eye, all the jewelry, jade artifacts, and national treasures in the room disappeared without a trace.
He looked at Jiang Ruzhen in shock, but Jiang Ruzhen looked back at him with an innocent and naive expression.
"Didn't you say you'd take it all? What's wrong, are you having second thoughts?"
"No...it's..." Xiao Ze was just amazed and astonished. He was about to ask Jiang Ruzhen how she made those things disappear when a blood-soaked figure rushed in from outside.
"Boss, the Black Bear Gang is attacking us like crazy this time, it seems like they want to wipe us out."
"Damn it, someone must have leaked the information." Xiao Ze swiftly pulled a gun from his waist, released the safety, and rushed out first.
“Follow me and lead them away, don’t let them hurt innocent people.”
"Yes, boss."
When Jiang Ruzhen rushed out, she saw Xiao Ze leading a group of people in a fierce fight with a group of tall and burly gangsters across the street.
However, once the people on the other side saw Xiao Ze, they turned all their firepower on him.
Soon, the two groups headed out of Chinatown.
Worried about her fellow disciples' safety, Jiang Ruzhen hurriedly slipped into the space and returned to the next room, landing in the bathroom.
Pretending to have just finished using the restroom, I came out and asked the staff in surprise, "What's wrong outside?"
The waiter quickly pulled her down to squat, saying, "Don't stand up. It's a gang fight, it's none of our business."
In the short time it took Jiang Ruzhen to glance around, she had already seen that her two senior brothers and those entrepreneurs were together, all squatting around the dining table.
However, they kept looking around anxiously, searching for someone. When their eyes met, Jiang Ruzhen nodded to them.
The two of them then relaxed a little and focused on playing the role of frightened bystanders.
As the gunshots faded into the distance, the black-clad bodyguards scattered around suddenly appeared and directed the inspection team to get into the vehicles quickly.
Director Liu and others were very dissatisfied and negotiated with them.
Why didn't these people come out to protect them when there was danger?
The leader of the bodyguards came out to reassure the crowd, essentially saying that the gangsters weren't after them.
They can't initiate a conflict with them. As long as nothing goes wrong with the inspection team, everyone is safe now, right?
His explanation clearly failed to convince Director Liu and his group, but the bodyguards in black disdained to explain further and instead ordered the driver to drive them back to the hotel.
The people in the car were astonished and puzzled by the behavior of these bodyguards in black, after all, they were special forces members sent by the government.
Why not protect the safety of ordinary people, instead of condoning gangsters to fire shots indiscriminately in the streets and injure innocent people?
Jiang Ruzhen, however, was well aware that this was the biggest difference between her motherland and these capitalist countries.
These so-called democratic countries are merely using the guise of freedom to cater to the needs of the upper class.
They have no time to care about the lives of ordinary people, and for them, being a policeman or a soldier is just a job to make money.
They would never risk their lives for a paltry wage.
When Jiang Ruzhen got out of the car, she walked behind and heard the bodyguards in black huddled together, whispering and mocking them in English.
"These people dare to question us? Who do they think they are?"
"They're just a bunch of yellow-haired pigs. Do they really think they can be equal to us white people?"
"A bunch of idiots, do they really think we'd protect their safety? Morons."
"......."
Jiang Ruzhen frowned, her expression cold and stern. Just as she was about to turn around and confront them, Xiao He grabbed her and pulled her forward.
Before Jiang Ruzhen could react, she heard the group of guys behind her, who had been spewing filth just moments before, suddenly start fighting.
You punch me, I kick you, and soon we're all fighting.
Jiang Ruzhen suppressed the urge to smile and gave Xiao He a thumbs up.
"Hurry up and leave, don't cause trouble."
Jin Sheng glanced at the two of them, and they immediately followed like obedient children.
However, they didn't notice the cold glint in Jin Sheng's eyes.
In no time, packs of stray dogs appeared on every street corner, charging at the bodyguards who were fighting like madmen.
At first, the people screamed and cried as they were bitten, but then they all pulled out their guns and glared at the pack of frenzied wild dogs.
Regardless of whether innocent bystanders would be injured, gunshots, shouts from the crowd, and barking from dogs filled the air.
The three perpetrators had already returned to their hotel room.
"How was it? Did you succeed?" Xiao He looked at Jiang Ruzhen with great joy.
Jiang Ruzhen nodded. "When are we going back to China?"
Jin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The inspection team is leaving the day after tomorrow, and we will go with them."
"Okay." As soon as Jiang Ruzhen finished speaking, Xiao He stepped forward with a fawning smile.
"Junior Sister, what good things do you have? Could you show them to your senior brother?"
"No, it's too dangerous here. How do you know if there's someone with a sniper rifle watching us from outside the window or across the street?"
"Huh?" Xiao He hadn't expected this, and his expression immediately turned sour. He rushed to the window and observed for a while.
"I feel like a lot of people are watching us. Could someone really be spying on us? Even in the room?"
Jin Sheng wanted to laugh but held it in. He secretly gave Jiang Ruzhen a thumbs up, and Jiang Ruzhen proudly raised her head to accept her senior brother's praise.
After Xiao He returned from the window, he became much more well-behaved, pacing around the room aimlessly.
"I wish I could go back to China right now. I feel so uncomfortable staying in this damn ugly country. Even the air smells bad."
Jiang Ruzhen suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Eighth Senior Brother, how exactly do you control your mental energy? It's amazing. Could you teach me?"
"You're interested? Sure, let me see how strong your mental power is." Xiao He's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was just bored and had nothing to do, and now he had a chance to do something.
