Chapter 335 Yang Qianshou
Chapter 335 Yang Qianshou
Knowing the old man had a blade hidden in his hand, Xu Xiangbei sneered, "Old man, are you selling wallets?"
The old man’s fingers were about to reach Xu Xiangbei’s shoulder.
Whoosh, Xu Xiangbei lightly dodged, striking like lightning, and grabbed the old man’s wrist swiftly.
Annoyed that the opponent used a blade, Xu Xiangbei decided to teach the old man a lesson. With a gentle squeeze, a flicker of pain crossed the old man’s brow. A clink was heard as a gleaming blade fell onto the marble table.
Xu Xiangbei grinned playfully while holding the old man’s hand, channeling an Inner Strength through his fingers into the old man’s dry veins, "Old man, don’t exert yourself, don’t move, you’ll be fine in a moment, or your right hand will be crippled."
A glint of fear flashed in the old man’s eyes. He didn’t expect that Xu Xiangbei, so young, would be quicker than him and know the legendary Ancient Martial Arts with deep Inner Strength. Feeling a warm current pulsing through his wrist rendered his entire right hand powerless. He dared not move and sat quietly in his seat.
Their struggle over the wallet, though perilous, one wrong move and bones could break, blood could splatter, appeared to onlookers at other tables as merely an old man and a young man dropping a parcel and courteously shaking hands.
The old man’s eyes were complex, "I didn’t expect you to be so skilled. I admit defeat. Cut me or kill me, it’s up to you. What’s your name, sir?"
"I’m Xu Xiangbei, a small doctor, just call me Dr. Xu."
Xu Xiangbei hummed a tune as he picked up the wallet from the floor, flipping through them one by one. From a wallet with a heart-shaped design, he pulled out an ID card—it was the ID of that beautiful host, with a cute and playful photo.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei looking so at ease, the old man couldn’t hold back, "Young man, what do you want? Are you taking me to the police station, or are you going to beat me up?"
Xu Xiangbei quirked an eyebrow, "You’ve been caught red-handed doing business with me. Considering your age, sending you to the police station, I’m afraid you couldn’t handle prison, and beating you up, I fear you’d break down. So, let’s just fine you."
The old man was both angry and ashamed, "Fine is fine, how much?"
Xu Xiangbei coldly said, "Fifty thousand."
The old man’s eyes widened, "You extortionist, there’s only about three thousand yuan in these wallets total, and you’re fining me fifty thousand. You might as well rob me."
Xu Xiangbei shrugged, "If you don’t have fifty thousand, then I’ll have to take you to the police station."
Hearing the police station mentioned, the old man seemed a bit panicky, "Young man, I can tell you’re a good person. Look at this poor old man, where would I have fifty thousand, have a little mercy."
"No negotiation, no money, then we go to the police station."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s resolute face, the old man had to agree, looking dejected, "Let me make a call, I’ll have my granddaughter bring you the money."
Xu Xiangbei grinned, "Good idea, I’ll wait here."
After making a call, the old man said helplessly to Xu Xiangbei, "Young man, you caught me, I have nothing to say. I admit it all, my granddaughter will come in a bit, but can you let me finish this bowl of noodles?"
"Of course, though you’re guilty, you still need to eat, even before execution you get a last meal. But your granddaughter is so good to you, and you’re still out stealing wallets, aren’t you ashamed? You should consider your granddaughter too."
"Young man, stop nagging, I’ve already told my granddaughter to bring the money. Let me finish this bowl of noodles, will you?"
About ten minutes later, the sound of urgent high heels approached behind Xu Xiangbei, the crisp and pleasant sound stirring the imagination.
It should be the old man’s granddaughter.
Upon seeing his granddaughter, the old man’s face flushed with embarrassment, "Granddaughter, this is Dr. Xu. Grandpa owes him fifty thousand, help Grandpa pay it."
Xu Xiangbei turned around with a smile, but his smile froze on seeing her face, exclaiming in surprise, "Yang Jenny, is it you?"
Yang Jenny was dressed in a blue Prada business suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with long white legs beneath the suit, and blue five-inch heels, looking elegant and noble.
She mildly chided the old man, "Grandpa, your old habit kicked in again, and now you’ve been caught, haven’t you?"
Seeing his granddaughter, and that she was an old acquaintance of Xu Xiangbei, the old man grinned, "Good granddaughter, Grandpa just couldn’t resist. Help Grandpa, will you?"
Jenny said helplessly to Xu Xiangbei, "Dr. Xu, my grandpa is almost eighty this year, he has a theft habit. I’ll pay his debt, let him go, please."
Xu Xiangbei shrugged helplessly, couldn’t really take Jenny’s grandfather to the police station, "Alright, but you better keep a close eye on him, don’t let him steal again."
The old man wiped his mouth with a napkin, grinning, "Thanks, good granddaughter. Young man, your skills are good. Grandpa’s old now, otherwise you wouldn’t have caught me. When I was young, they called me Yang Qianshou, you should know how formidable I was, right?"
Jenny lightly scolded, "Grandpa, stop that, hurry back home."
After sending Grandpa home by taxi, Jenny took out her wallet, saying helplessly to Xu Xiangbei, "Sorry for the trouble, tell me how much I owe."
Pushing the wallets Yang Qianshou stole in front of Jenny, Xu Xiangbei laughed, "Since it’s your grandfather, I can’t possibly ask you for money, but you need to return all the wallets he stole."
Jenny’s eyes were filled with gratitude, "Thank you, I owe you again."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xu Xiangbei curiously asked, "Are you undercover in the Thunderbird Group, have they done anything illegal, can you share any details?"
Jenny’s reply was straightforward, with a sly smile on her face, "I owe you a favor, that’s a favor, work is work. They’re separate issues, sorry, can’t disclose."
Another sound of high heels caught their attention, followed by Ouyang Jiahui’s booming voice, "What can’t you disclose? Where’s Xin Yan, why are it just the two of you sitting here?"
Ouyang Jiahui with her explosive perm appeared before Xu Xiangbei, she looked curiously at Xu Xiangbei and Jenny.
Jenny chuckled, "Hello Miss Ouyang, you always make such a dazzling entrance."
Knowing Jenny was mocking her hairstyle again, Ouyang Jiahui sneered, "No matter how dazzling I am, I can’t compare to you, with such a figure puts the salon girls to shame."
Jenny retorted without a change in expression, "Really? We’re pretty much the same."
Xu Xiangbei interrupted their chatter, curious, "Jia Hui, how did you get here? How do you know I’m with Gu Xinyan? Did Zhou Ping tell you?"
Ouyang Jiahui affectionately grabbed Xu Xiangbei’s arm, whining, "Sister Xin Yan told me, Brother Xu, you’re moving this afternoon, great! We’ve agreed, Xiao Lin and I are moving too, I want the second floor."
