Chapter Seventy-One Protection Fees



Qi Yu was initially hesitant, but when she met Gu Baiwei's moist eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse: "Okay."

He took out his keys from his pocket and unlocked the chain on Gu Baiwei's wrist, his voice gentle: "Sister."

Qi Yu casually tossed the chain aside, his Adam's apple bobbing as he leaned down and slowly approached.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."

Gu Baiwei pretended to clutch her stomach and wail.

Qi Yu straightened up, looking somewhat dejected: "I'll go to the restroom with my sister."

Gu Baiwei's expression froze: "This...isn't that necessary?"

She went to the restroom, and he, a grown man, followed her; it felt incredibly awkward.

"Don't worry, sister, I'll be right outside and I definitely won't peek."

Qi Yu stared at her intently with her eyes: "Besides, sister, you probably don't have any strength left right now, do you?"

"Well, that's true, then this is troublesome."

Gu Baiwei could only let him help her walk to the restroom, and she secretly observed the surrounding situation along the way.

Decades have passed, but the furnishings in the house are still not much different from when she was a child.

She remembers that her parents renovated the house once when she grew up, and there must have been quite a few changes.

Now it seems as if someone deliberately restored the house to its original state.

"Sister, do you like them? I prepared all these things exactly as they were originally."

Qi Yu smiled at her, looking like she wanted praise.

"That's great, thank you for your trouble."

Gu Baiwei gave a perfunctory reply.

Just then, the two of them arrived at the bathroom door.

Qi Yu very gentlemanly opened the door for her: "Sister, are you sure you don't need me to come in and help you?"

"Sure."

Gu Baiwei gritted her teeth and slammed the bathroom door shut.

ill!

Qi Yu's smile slowly faded; it seemed the dosage wasn't enough.

He leaned against the bathroom door, and through the semi-transparent glass door, Gu Baiwei could clearly see him leaning against the wall. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "I need to use the toilet. Stay away from me, or you'll smell it."

A soft laugh came from outside the door: "It's okay, as long as it's my sister's, I don't mind."

Ugh, this is insane!

Gu Baiwei screamed inwardly. Luckily, she didn't really need to go to the toilet. Otherwise, with such a pervert around, she would have had to hold it in even if she really needed to.

She sat on the toilet, silently observing her surroundings, looking for something she could use.

Her gaze quickly fell on the plunger beside her. Good, this thing isn't very powerful, but it's incredibly disgusting.

She secretly gripped the plunger in her hand, preparing to shove it directly in Qi Yu's face when he opened the door.

She mentally rehearsed the whole process, stood up, and was about to open the door when there was a knock at the door.

"Open the door! Open the door now!"

A strong, resonant voice came from outside the door, and the security door was slammed loudly.

Qi Yu frowned and glanced at the bathroom: "Sister, I'll go check it out and be right back."

Hearing the footsteps leave, Gu Baiwei hesitated for a moment, then put the hand holding the plunger behind her back and opened the door with her other hand.

At the same time, Qi Yu opened the security door, and Gu Baiwei's position allowed her to see the situation clearly.

A man with brightly colored hair and a thuggish air stood at the door, holding a stick about the thickness of his wrist, and taunted it by tapping it twice.

"The new guy?"

Two similarly styled punk henchmen followed behind him. One of them, seeing that Qi Yu hadn't reacted for a while, assumed he was stunned and glared at him with disdain: "Hey kid, our boss is asking you a question. Answer him."

The leader, a punk with a flamboyant style, was half a head shorter than Qi Yu. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "You brat, this whole area is protected by my brother Qiang. If you want to live a peaceful life from now on, you'll have to pay protection money, understand?"

Qi Yu lazily looked up at him and said unhurriedly, "What if you don't pay?"

The boy looked handsome and refined, with an air of scholarly refinement about him, but when he looked at people, his eyes were dark and dull, without any light, which made people feel inexplicably cold.

The moment Qiang Ge met those eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine, but seeing that the other person was clearly still a teenager, he immediately felt more confident.

"Not paying? What do you say?"

Qiang Ge slammed the stick in his hand against the door frame with a loud thud, and a layer of white dust immediately fell off the old door frame.

The two punk-style henchmen behind him immediately stood on either side of Qiang Ge, looking menacing and threatening.

Qi Yu narrowed his eyes: "If you have something to say, go outside and talk. Don't scare my girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Qiang immediately glanced into the house, but before he could see anything, Qi Yu pushed him so hard that he stumbled.

"You brat, you're asking for it?"

Two punk-style thugs immediately helped Qiang Ge up.

"How much?"

In the tense atmosphere, Qi Yu spoke softly.

Qiang and his two companions were taken aback; they had initially thought the young man was about to start a fight with them.

"Ahem, I'll give you a discount since you're new here, it'll be a thousand."

Qiang straightened his back and coughed lightly.

"No problem, I'll give you double. Who's coming with me to collect the money?"

Qi Yu spoke slowly, his dark eyes sweeping over the three of them before he stepped towards the stairwell.

Brother Qiang was surprised that this kid was so responsive, and immediately followed him with a big smile.

"Young man, don't worry. Once I've taken your money, your family will be under my protection from now on."

Qiang followed behind with a smile. As they entered the stairwell, Qi Yu's cold voice rang out: "Close the door."

Why are you closing the door?

Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.

He looked down in disbelief and saw that a dagger had completely sunk into his abdomen, with only the hilt sticking out.

"You...you..."

Before Qiang could finish speaking, his mouth was gagged with a bundle of banknotes.

"Here's two thousand yuan. Don't mess with me again."

After Qi Yu finished speaking coldly, she kicked the man to the ground, disgustedly wiped the blood off her shoes on Qiang Ge's clothes, and then slowly opened the stairwell door and went out.

As soon as he stepped outside, two punk-style thugs were waiting there. Seeing him come out, they immediately looked behind them with puzzled expressions: "Hey, kid, where's Brother Qiang?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a weak voice came from the stairwell: "I'm here."

Suddenly, a blood-stained hand reached out from the stairwell, startling the two of them.

Upon seeing Brother Long crawling out covered in blood, the two men's expressions changed, and they immediately rushed forward...

The moment Gu Baiwei locked the door, she began to consider where she could escape.

The apartment is on the fifth floor, and it's in an older building with no balcony, so going out the window is obviously not a good option.

The only possible way out was through the door, but the door was locked from the inside.

As she anxiously searched for a way out, there was a light knock on the security door from the outside.
