When Xia Liang and his companions arrived at the entrance of No. 47 Dayu Village, they keenly sensed the unusual tranquility around them. This silence stirred a sense of unease in Xia Liang, for it was far too abnormal.
However, having already arrived at their destination, they couldn't easily turn back. So, Ji Xiao stepped forward, knocked on the door, and called out, "Fu Zai, open the door." The door opened immediately, but it wasn't Fu Zai standing there. Ji Xiao couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked, "Where's Fu Zai? Why isn't he here?"
The man who opened the door gave a fawning smile and explained, "Fuzai went to pick up another batch of goods, so I'll be the one to receive you this time." Ji Xiao had seen this man with Fuzai before, so he didn't suspect anything and followed him into the house.
The young man named Huazai warmly welcomed the group into the house, asked them to sit down, and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment while I go get the goods." After saying that, he called his two companions and they turned around and went into the room to retrieve the goods.
Before long, over a thousand watches were packed into four duffel bags. Hua Zai, smiling, pushed the bags out and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Now we can begin inspecting the goods." Looking at the mountain of watches before him, Ji Xiao carefully examined them. After confirming there were no problems, he nodded in satisfaction.
Zhou Xiong pushed his bag over, and Hua Zai smiled and opened the zipper. His eyes lit up when he saw the large denomination bills inside. His underling checked the money, and Ji Xiao asked, "Is there a problem?" Hua Zai smiled and said, "The amount is fine, but our boss said it's not enough."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiao jumped up from his seat, pointed his finger at Hua Zai's nose, and shouted, "What, you're going back on your word? Are you trying to double-cross me?" Just then, a deep male voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be so smart!"
As the voice faded, several people slowly walked in; it was none other than Scarface and his gang. Meanwhile, Andy Lau, head bowed, silently walked behind Scarface.
Seeing this, Ji Xiao felt a surge of anger, but just as he was about to step forward, Xia Liang reached out and stopped him. She understood that they were currently on enemy territory, outnumbered, and could not act rashly. So, Xia Liang took a deep breath, turned her gaze to the scarred man at the head of the group, and calmly asked, "So, may I ask, how many do you want?"
Scarface grinned lewdly and chuckled, "This little beauty is quite sensible! Don't worry, we won't be too greedy. Just one million. If you can come up with one million, you can take this shipment. Otherwise... hehe, the consequences might be hard to predict." He deliberately dragged out the last sentence, leaving a hint of suspense and threat.
Xia Liang calmly said, "One million is no small sum! We can't come up with that much money right now. Could you give us some time?" The scarred man smiled and said, "Haha, since it's the beauty who asked, I'll naturally give her face! How about this, you guys go raise the money, and you stay here and wait a bit, little beauty." After saying that, he casually pointed to Ji Xiao and the others, and then reached out to put his arm around Xia Liang's waist.
However, before his hand could even touch Xia Liang, Tian Longhui suddenly kicked him hard, sending him sprawling to the ground. Scarface's henchmen rushed to check on their boss. At that moment, Scarface was both in excruciating pain and burning with rage, and he resolved to teach these out-of-towners a lesson. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Beat them to death! Then throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" Upon hearing the order, his men immediately swarmed forward. However, these were nothing but weaklings, and Tian Longhui and his men easily dispatched them in just two or three minutes.
Just as the group picked up their watches and prepared to head for the door, they were surprised to find dozens of people standing outside. Each of them held a gleaming watermelon knife. In an instant, their steps faltered. At the same time, Scarface, supported by his henchmen, stood up again, a smug smile on his face, and sneered, "What? You think you can leave without paying a cent on my turf? What a joke! Brothers, teach them a lesson!"
In an instant, dozens of thugs wielding watermelon knives pounced on Xia Liang and his companions like hungry tigers! Seeing this, Tian Longhui and his three fellow disciples fearlessly grabbed stools from the ground and engaged in fierce combat with the enemies. Ji Xiao, not to be outdone, followed closely behind and joined the fight.
At this moment, the room was in complete chaos, and the battle was exceptionally fierce. These people were completely different from the ordinary people in Y Province before; they were all desperate criminals who had been teetering on the edge of life and death, with blood on their hands, and their attacks were extremely ruthless.
Ji Xiao was momentarily distracted, and his arm was slashed by the enemy. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged in time; otherwise, he probably would have lost his entire arm.
Having been closely watching Xia Liang's scarred face, they discovered that Xia Liang had taken advantage of the chaos to walk to the door, and immediately sent several people to chase after her.
Xia Liang, holding Ji Xiaodie tightly, had just run outside and was about to head to the police station to report the incident when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her. Xia Liang's heart tightened, and she quickly turned around to see several people chasing after them.
Xia Liang shoved Ji Xiaodie hard, anxiously saying, "Go to the police station and report this! I'll hold them off here, otherwise none of us will leave today!" Ji Xiaodie was already terrified, tears streaming down her face, her body trembling uncontrollably, but there was no time for arguing. She knew very well that if she couldn't escape, she would likely face the tragic end of being eaten by fish. So, she gritted her teeth, nodded forcefully, and turned to run frantically towards the village entrance.
Xia Liang dared not stop for a moment; every additional distance they ran increased their chances of survival. However, she was, after all, just a weak woman, and faced with these desperate criminals who played cat-and-mouse games with the police all day, she was filled with fear. In the end, she was surrounded by several men, one of whom roared viciously, "Where did that bitch run off to? We absolutely can't let her call the police! You two, go and bring her back to me right now!" As soon as he finished speaking, he casually pointed and dispatched two of his men to chase after Ji Xiaodie.
