Tang Ming slowly walked over from behind and stood beside Xia Wei’er. Huo Ge quickly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Tang Ge, what brings you here?"
"You own this place?"
The mont Tang Ming sized up the situation, he knew Huo Ge was bullying soone again and said discontentedly, "Can’t I co?"
"No, no, Tang Ge, you’ve got it all wrong."
Huo Ge shook his head and hastily explained with a smile, "Tang Ge can go wherever he wants, who would dare say no."
Tang Ming scanned the area and asked Huo Ge, "Can’t you be more ambitious? Still playing these old tricks with forced demolitions? And you hit soone’s hand, didn’t you?"
Huo Ge’s face turned pale as he quickly gestured with his hands and explained, "Tang Ge, we didn’t forcibly demolish anything this ti, this woman stole my money, and my brothers were just giving her a lesson."
"Stole your money?"
As Tang Ming looked up and over, he recognized Chen Shuang’er as the pickpocket from the dicinal herbs street last ti and instantly understood.
While Tang Ming was sizing up Chen Shuang’er, she was also scrutinizing him. When she recognized him and saw that Huo Ge and the others were extrely afraid of him, she also heard their recent conversation and ca up with a plan.
Chen Shuang’er’s eyes flickered, and she coyly said to Tang Ming, "Darling, you ca to see ?"
Tang Ming couldn’t have imagined that Chen Shuang’er, the pickpocket, would address him like this. Caught off-guard for a mont, she continued speaking.
"Darling, they were forcibly demolishing, and they wrongfully accused of stealing his money. I was just looking at the sports car nearby and they wrongfully accused . Look, they’ve broken my hand, and they’re insisting on demolishing my house."
Chen Shuang’er started spouting nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth.
Tang Ming, hearing her call him "darling" so smoothly, imdiately glared at Chen Shuang’er and thought: Who’s your darling, have you no sha?
But Tang Ming did not expose her right away. He reasoned, seeing Xia Wei’er’s expression and actions, he knew that she was acquainted with the pickpocket. If he did nothing, with the character of Huo Ge and his crew, the pickpocket might be in great danger. He might as well lend a hand.
Rembering the incident with the voided ten million dollar check last ti, Tang Ming felt even angrier. He glared at Huo Ge and asked, "You’ve heard it too, you dare to hit my people, tired of living, are you?"
Huo Ge and the others were scared to death, especially Scar Face, who almost peed his pants again and hid to the side, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Who was Tang Ming? He was the guy who even dared to put the Ma Family brothers, their backer, in the hospital. How could these underlings dare to oppose him? Wouldn’t that be outright suicide?
"Tang Ge, we didn’t know she was your woman," Huo Ge said with a miserable expression.
"Well, you know now, don’t you?"
Tang Ming said bluntly, "She’s been beaten up like this by you guys. You tell , how should we settle this? Should I give you a beating to vent my anger, or should we just settle it with money?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Ge thought to himself that if Tang Ming really gave him a beating, it’d be weird if he didn’t have to stay in the hospital for a month. After thinking it over, he said, "Tang Ge, I choose to compensate with money. But how much do you want?"
"Do you have ten million to compensate?" Tang Ming said angrily, "Give whatever you have right now."
Huo Ge quickly felt around on his person, pulled out his wallet to look, and saw only a few hundred bucks. With a distressed expression, he said, "Tang Ge, this is all I have."
Chen Shuang’er, seeing this turn of events, knew she had indeed bet on the right horse and imdiately said with a gleeful smile, pointing inside the sports car, "Darling, there’s money in his car, several tens of thousands."
"You son of a bitch, still dare to lie to ,"
Tang Ming grabbed Huo Ge by the collar with one hand, ready to punch him.
Huo Ge was so scared he almost kneeled, pleading with a pained expression, "Brother Ming, don’t hit , I’ll compensate you with the money."
"You son of a bitch, if you keep lying, I’ll break your bones."
Tang Ming threw Huo Ge to the ground, then kicked out hard, "Bang" went the noise as he smashed the sports car’s door.
This terrified the local thugs and hoodlums around, since they hadn’t seen how tough Tang Ming was before; they only knew that Huo Ge was afraid of him, but now they realized this guy was sothing else. A kick that could shatter a car door—if it hit a person, it would probably kill them with a single blow.
After opening the car door, Tang Ming found a leather bag inside, opened it, and indeed there was a lot of money, at least several tens of thousands.
With the money in hand, Tang Ming said to Huo Ge on the ground, "You owe the Xia Family a compensation of ten million, and even issued a fake check. I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. Now tell , when will you pay back?"
Huo Ge didn’t dare to anger Tang Ming and was afraid of getting beaten up, so he could only say with a pained face, "Brother Ming, we’ll pay it back as soon as possible, don’t worry."
Tang Ming took the money from the leather bag, a stack of ten thousand, exactly forty thousand, without a word, he stuffed twenty thousand each into the pockets of Xia Wei’er and Chen Shuang’er, distributing it evenly so no one could complain.
Upon seeing so much money, Xia Wei’er was stunned and quickly declined, "Tang Ming, I can’t take this money. You should keep it."
"What’s with the politeness? Your house got torn down, and now you got back twenty thousand. Just take it ho for your mom to use, doesn’t your dad’s dical treatnt and your rent cost money?"
Tang Ming waved his hand and said.
After thinking it over, Xia Wei’er nodded, and Chen Shuang’er, seeing that she also got twenty thousand while Tang Ming got nothing, couldn’t help but say, "How about I give you this money?"
Tang Ming laughed and said, "If I really took it, wouldn’t your injury be for nothing?"
By now, Huo Ge had scrambled to his feet and hurried over to flatter, "Brother Ming, both of your girlfriends are so nice to each other, so considerate. It’s really enviable."
Tang Ming glared at the guy and said irritably, "Get lost before I put you in the hospital for a few days with my chatter."
Huo Ge shrank his neck, trembled all over, and dared not say another word, quickly leading his brothers away. Tang Ming still shouted at his retreating figure,
"Go and get the money ready. If I see you again and you still don’t have the money, I’ll demolish your house. And here’s sothing else: your two little bosses, Ma Gangjian and Ma Gangqiang, I sent them to the hospital again. If you don’t want to end up like them, you’d better sort yourself out."
As Huo Ge, already inside the sports car, heard this, he was so frightened he almost ripped the steering wheel off...
After that group had left, Xia Wei’er finally spoke up, "Tang Ming, let’s take Shuang’er ho."
"Her na is Shuang’er?"
Tang Ming asked, "Does she live around here too?"
"Yes, she does. We’re neighbors!"
Xia Wei’er nodded, and then helped Chen Shuang’er walk toward her ho.
On the way, Xia Wei’er thought it over and over, feeling that the money given by Tang Ming was all because of Chen Shuang’er, and it did not feel right for her to keep it. Thus, she couldn’t help saying,
"Shuang’er, the twenty thousand I took is actually your compensation for getting hurt. I don’t want it; it’s all yours."
