Chapter 999 - 998: Lawless Zone
"I warn you, don’t come any closer. If you get any nearer, don’t blame us for being rude." Guoguo held her ground, refusing to be intimidated, and pointed the stick in her hands at the man in front of her.
"Oh, you’re going to be rude to us? How exactly are you going to be rude? Tell me so I can hear it. Maybe I can give you some advice on how to properly punish us." The man laughed loudly, his eyes glinting with malice as they roamed over Guoguo’s body.
Fourth Master Wu heard the man’s laughter and suddenly tuned into the same wavelength, joining in the laughter loudly.
Watching these two men laugh heartily, Guoguo felt both anger and fear but was helpless against them, knowing she couldn’t possibly beat these two men.
Guoguo glanced towards Tangtang, who was behind the two men, and gave her a knowing look. The twin bond between them seemed to finally kick in at this moment.
Tangtang raised the stick in her hand and struck the men wildly from both sides. Seizing the moment when the men clutched their heads and ducked, she quickly ran to Guoguo’s side.
Separated on different sides, the sisters finally reunited, their bodies pressing tightly against each other, seeking even the slightest warmth.
With their hot bodies pressed together, Tangtang and Guoguo felt slightly less afraid.
The two men hadn’t initially guarded against Tangtang, thinking she was just a woman and couldn’t possibly harm them.
However, it was precisely their arrogance that gave Tangtang the chance to successfully reunite with Guoguo.
Thus, the men immediately developed a hatred for Tangtang.
They felt that Tangtang and Guoguo were really ungrateful for acting this way.
The two men clutched their most painful injuries with hateful eyes fixed on Tangtang and Guoguo.
Successfully cornering the sisters by the window.
"You two are quite bold, daring to attack us. Do you know who you just hit? You hit your Third Young Master Hu and Fourth Master Wu. Do you know what status we hold in this area? Here, we are the masters. You just hit your grandfathers, so don’t think you can have a good life here anymore." Third Young Master Hu, who had been hit on the head, threatened Tangtang and Guoguo while clutching his aching head.
Tangtang and Guoguo took a deep breath and bravely faced the men, saying, "Breaking into a private residence is illegal. If you do anything to us, we’ll report you to the police and have you arrested." Tangtang said with the last ounce of her courage.
Yet the two men weren’t intimidated by the mention of the police at all; they even laughed out loud at Tangtang’s words.
"Did I hear that right? You think you can solve this by calling the police? This is hilarious. Didn’t you know when you rented this place that it’s a well-known lawless area? Here, strength and force speak. The police don’t concern themselves with what happens here, calling them is pointless."
Third Young Master Hu laughed so hard at Tangtang’s words he bent over, clutching his belly and wiping tears from the corners of his eyes before speaking to Tangtang again.
Tangtang’s legs began to tremble slightly from Third Young Master Hu’s laughter, her face turning deathly pale as if a layer of putty had been applied, completely devoid of color.
When they rented the place, they were only thinking about the low cost. Moreover, the landlord never told them about the situation here, so they just thought it was a simple slum.
They never imagined it was a lawless area.
At that moment, Tangtang and Guoguo’s hearts turned cold as they finally understood why people here seemed so indifferent—it was because the lack of law had amplified everyone’s innate evil.
Perhaps the people here once had kind intentions of helping others, but such kindness hadn’t brought them good outcomes, instead leaving them in misery. That’s why, when faced with strangers asking for help, they appeared so cold and unfeeling, because that was the best way to protect themselves—a defensive shell to guard their soft spots.
Tangtang had no idea why, in such a dangerous moment, her mind was filled with thoughts unrelated to the current situation. Yet those thoughts seemed to calm her nerves somewhat.
"I don’t care what kind of place this is. I only know this is our rented property, and now it’s our territory. You’re intruders, so we demand you leave immediately, or we’ll use all means available to defend our rights." Feeling her sister’s tension, Guoguo pulled her behind her.
Even at this moment, Guoguo’s heart was trembling with fear, no less than Tangtang’s, but years of growing up had taught her to keep her emotions in check.
In such circumstances, she could still perfectly control her facial expressions, projecting nothing but coldness, not fear.
But no matter what expressions they put on, no matter if Tangtang and Guoguo had previously teamed up to take down one of them, the men didn’t take them seriously.
In the eyes of Third Young Master Hu and Fourth Master Wu, Tangtang and Guoguo were insignificant. Their previous success was due to the element of surprise, catching them unprepared. But now, unfortunately, they were prepared for Tangtang and Guoguo.
"Defend your rights? What rights do you have? Talking about rights with us here? Are you joking?" Third Young Master Hu didn’t bother to hide his mockery, looking at Guoguo as if she were some kind of fool.
"Let me tell you, as long as we brothers don’t want to leave, there’s nothing you can do to make us. We initially planned to treat you nicely, be gentle with you sisters, but I see now that maybe you don’t need that. Since you seem to like things rougher, maybe violent methods will suit you better." Third Young Master Hu’s eyes fell on Tangtang and Guoguo with malicious intent.
Like parasites gnawing at bone, once they latched on, they were impossible to shake off, utterly disgusting.
Though the sisters held onto sticks, their grip faltered as their hands shook uncontrollably.
