Xiao Han cautiously moved closer to Liu Xiaolei.
Liu Xiaolei’s face was flushed red, and had it not been for the pitch-dark surroundings, she probably wouldn’t have had the courage to say such things. As Xiao Han leaned in closer, preparing to grope her, suddenly Liu Xiaolei quickly covered her chest and exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you say I could touch?” Xiao Han quickly responded.
“I did say you could touch, yes, but why are you being so lewd?” Liu Xiaolei, blushing, said shyly, “I only meant for you to touch my hand, not my chest. What are you thinking about all day long?”
“Uh...” Xiao Han was immediately dumbfounded. This... this isn’t fair, is it? Who touches a hand? If you let someone touch, wouldn’t they naturally go for the chest? Xiao Han quickly added, “Of course, I would think it’s the chest.
How would I know it’s the hand!”
“That’s why you’re a little rogue!” Liu Xiaolei huffed.
“You’re wrong.” Xiao Han chuckled and said, “A man touching a woman’s chest is driven by instinct, an innate instinct of a man, you see?” Explore hidden tales at Novgo
“How come you still make it sound reasonable?” Liu Xiaolei frowned.
Xiao Han was momentarily taken aback before he hurriedly said, “It’s just true. Think about it, woman’s chests stick out and a man’s hand perfectly contours it. Once the palm touches, it just happens to grasp the chest.”
“You... you filthy rogue!” Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaolei became instantly furious, saying, “You’re not only depraved in thought but also in action.”
“Haha...” Xiao Han laughed heartily.
“I’m not dealing with you anymore, I’m going to work.” Liu Xiaolei huffed and then turned to leave.
Watching Liu Xiaolei’s retreating figure, Xiao Han felt considerably more relaxed. Sometimes, life should have its diversions. Although Chen Zihan was far from him, she would always be in his heart. Chen Zihan was gone, but Liu Xiaolei was still around, right?
After strolling outside for a while, just as Xiao Han was about to head back, suddenly, two vans sped up and screeched to a halt in front of him. Immediately after, more than ten knife-wielding men jumped out of the vans and surrounded Xiao Han tightly.
“Who are you?” Xiao Han asked calmly.
“Kid, you’ve offended someone, you know?” the leader, a sturdy man wearing a tank top with tattoos on both arms, and the group stared coldly at Xiao Han then said, “Someone has paid money for one of your arms, heh heh...”
“How much?” Xiao Han asked.@@@@
“Twenty thousand!” the sturdy man chuckled but mistakenly held up three fingers.
“Boss, you’ve got it wrong.” One of the underlings hurriedly said, “It should be like this.”
After speaking, the underling quickly showed two fingers.
Hearing this, the sturdy man’s expression drastically changed, and he slapped the back of the underling’s head, cursing, “Damn, don’t I know that?”
After cursing, he then held up two fingers.
Xiao Han smiled and said, “I’ll offer fifty thousand, and you guys go chop off the other person’s arm. How about it?”
“What?” The sturdy man hurriedly asked, “For real?”
The sturdy men quickly surrounded them. Brother De, with a bandage around his head, looked bewilderedly at them, “What... what is this about?”
“Heh heh...” The sturdy man chuckled.
“You... weren’t you supposed to be helping me chop people? Why have you come back to chop me?” Brother De exclaimed in shock.
“Brother De, sorry, but your rival offered fifty-thousand for your arm,” the sturdy man chuckled.
“Damn, you... you ungrateful bastard!” Brother De roared angrily.
At that moment, the sturdy man’s lips curled into a strange smile and said, “Brother De, sorry about today.”
“No no, I... I’ll give sixty thousand!” Brother De hurriedly said.
The sturdy man hesitated, just about to speak when Xiao Han interjected, “You’ve already chopped his men, do you think he would let you off easily? And even if he would, do you think he would still pay you?”
The sturdy man, realizing Xiao Han made sense, chuckled and said, “Brother De, I won’t be able to earn your money. So, I’ll just have to chop off your arm. Don’t worry, I’ll make it quick with one chop, and I’ll make a clean cut so it’s easier to stitch up at the hospital.”
“I... damn!” Brother De cursed, knowing he had no say anymore in whether the chop would happen. He looked desperately at Xiao Han, “Brother, please... it’s said that conflict leads to friendship, I... I was wrong, okay? From now on, we’re brothers.
Can you let this slide?”
“Sure!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Didn’t you just offer sixty thousand for an arm?”
“Uh...” Brother De paused, not understanding what he meant.
“You offer sixty thousand, and I’ll let this go,” Xiao Han smiled. “If I chop you, it’ll cost you more than sixty thousand eventually, what with the recovery and multiple surgeries, probably seventy to eighty thousand, right? I’m actually saving you money here.”
“This...” Brother De looked embarrassed.
“I’ll give you ten seconds to think,” Xiao Han issued an order.
“Fine, fine, no need to think anymore,” Brother De quickly said as he trembled, got up from the ground, and shakily took out six stacks of cash from the safe in his office and handed it to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han counted it, indeed sixty thousand. He gave fifty thousand to the sturdy man, “Brother, here’s your appearance fee. I promised you fifty thousand, right? Nothing wrong, right?”
“Right right, brother, you’re generous!” The sturdy man hugged the fifty thousand, grinning from ear to ear.
“Let’s cooperate again next time!” Xiao Han patted the sturdy man’s arm, chuckled, and said, “I’ll be going then.”
“Okay, okay!” The sturdy man nodded.
Xiao Han turned and walked out, then hailed a taxi on the road and quickly left the scene.
The sturdy man, holding the fifty thousand, excitedly said, “Damn, finally made some money, brothers, time for a feast.”
Afterward, the group quickly left the scene.
The group was particularly lively and unusually excited. An awkward underling said, “Big brother, Brother De gave that guy sixty thousand, but he only gave us fifty thousand. Does that mean we actually earned him ten thousand?”
“Uh...” The sturdy man scratched his head, then said, “Why worry about so much? As long as we got the fifty thousand, it’s fine. Later, let’s split it among ourselves well.”
