"Who's joking with you!"
These words thoroughly enraged one of the blond-haired men. He sneered and shouted, "We two brothers heard everything clearly at the pawnshop entrance. If you don't hand over the item, you might not be able to leave here today."
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together a few times, his meaning quite clear.
Lyon had spent years roaming the area, so he naturally knew their rules.
They always steal or rob anything they set their sights on. If you cooperate obediently, you might be spared; if you don't, you'll only face certain death.
Because the security situation here is very poor, and many people don't have the money to see a doctor or buy medicine, countless people die every day. So the government doesn't care at all, which leads to these people becoming more and more rampant.
Normally, Lyon would most likely hand over the items in this situation, since it's just some food and a day's wages at most.
But what he held in his hand today was Li Ruo's personal belongings, a bracelet that didn't belong to anyone here.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said firmly, "This thing doesn't belong to you. Even if you kill me, I won't hand it over. At worst, I'll die with the bracelet, and then you still won't get it!"
As he spoke, he revealed his bracelet and made a gesture as if to pull it off.
However, the two thugs didn't care about his threat at all. Instead, they raised their eyebrows disdainfully and said, "It's okay. The valuable part isn't the bracelet itself, but the gemstones on it. Even if you break it, the gemstones can still be exchanged for money. You'd better give in now. Otherwise, you might lose your life!"
As they spoke, the two walked step by step toward Lyon, intending to rob him by force.
"You...you stay away!"
Unexpectedly, these two guys had overheard the conversation in the store. Leon was so frightened that he backed away step by step, but he was soon cornered against the wall with nowhere left to retreat.
Just as the two were about to touch him, in a moment of crisis, Leon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pretended to shout outside, "Boss!"
Upon hearing this, the two thugs instinctively looked outside in confusion. Taking advantage of the situation, Leon shoved them aside and ran outside like a madman.
"Damn it, how dare you lie to us!"
Realizing they had been tricked, the two angrily chased after him.
Lyon was running away, not caring what was in front of him. In his panic, he bumped into a girl, and his bracelet fell to the ground.
"ah!"
The girl cried out in pain, but before she could react, several bodyguards rushed over from behind: "Dare to hit a young lady? Are you looking for death?"
Lyon's face paled as he looked at the several burly men in front of him, never expecting to be so unlucky.
He was about to explain when the girl who had been bumped into had already focused her gaze on the bracelet on the ground: "Your bracelet..."
Seeing that the girl also seemed interested in the bracelet, Leon quickly hid it and then glanced nervously at the two thugs who were about to catch up with him.
Damn it!
He cursed under his breath, ignoring the mud on his body, and got up to continue running away, but the girl grabbed his wrist and asked coldly, "I'm asking you, where did you get this bracelet?"
"you!"
Lyon frowned and instinctively turned around.
But the next moment, the two thugs caught up and grabbed him: "You little brat, let's see how far you can run. Hand over the stuff!"
Seeing that the two men were staring intently at the bracelet, the girl asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"
Seeing that she was accompanied by several bodyguards, Leon rolled his eyes and quickly pleaded, "Little sister, they want to steal my bracelet, please help me!"
Rob?
Sally raised an eyebrow and glanced at the two thugs who still didn't understand what was going on.
"go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the lead bodyguard's expression turned cold, and he immediately kicked the thug.
"ah!"
Being a professional, the man used only a few simple moves to knock the two thugs to the ground.
Seeing them stumble and scream as they left, Leon breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly looked down and, only after confirming that the bracelet was undamaged, did a relaxed smile appear on his face.
"Thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future."
As he was saying this, he turned to leave, but Sally stopped him.
Immediately afterwards, the girl's cold voice rang out: "Take him back with you!"
...
Meanwhile, because there had been no news from Wen Huaiyan for a long time, Old Master Wen couldn't hold back and called again.
As soon as he answered the phone, the old man's commanding voice came from the other end: "Huaiyan, since your cooperation this time has failed and the pharmaceutical project has made no progress, then you should pack up and prepare to return to China."
After all, the Wen family still has a lot of things that Wen Huaiyan needs to handle, and it's not good for him to stay abroad all the time.
However, since Li Ruo has not yet been found, Wen Huaiyan has no intention of returning to the country. He said coldly, "I cannot go back for the time being."
Hearing this, Old Master Wen couldn't help but get angry: "What are you doing over there instead of coming back? Do you know what people at the company are saying about you?"
