Chapter 22: This Beauty Was a Lucky Find
Feng Jin’s frightened appearance struck his men as odd. Their boss was scared stiff.
“Yeah, I was just saying. Why are you so agitated?”
Tang Ze shrugged. Feng Jin’s face darkened even further, and Ding Feng inwardly lamented the missed opportunity. This murderous delivery guy didn’t play by the rules.
Tang Ze continued, “But I highly doubt you even have eleven cases of mineral water.”
“Of course I do!”
“Then show me.”
Feng Jin almost retorted, “What about you?”, but remembering that Tang Ze had control of Dong Fei’s supplies, he held his tongue.
“You guys, go to my apartment and bring the water down.”
His men immediately ran to Building Two, and everyone waited. Tang Ze looked Ye Qingyi up and down. She naturally felt his gaze and noticed it was different from the other men’s.
Theirs were lecherous, while his was… as if he was looking at a delicious meal.
Soon, the men returned with cases of mineral water. Tang Ze smiled. “You’re short.”
“I got four cases from this raid, plus my own seven, makes eleven.”
Tang Ze patted his forehead. “Are you trying to take advantage of my poor math skills? You only have six cases here.”
“Impossible! I clearly had seven cases at home!”
Feng Jin snapped and immediately recounted, but it was still six.
He then shouted at his men, “Did you miss a case? Go back and look!”
His men frantically ran back, while Tang Ze waited patiently, winking at Ye Qingyi, which confused her.
What did he mean?
Was he trying to save me?
At this moment, Ye Qingyi felt a glimmer of hope. Perhaps righteous people like her brother-in-law hadn’t completely disappeared.
Soon, the men returned, one of them carrying a case of water, along with a woman in her thirties, dressed in pajamas and looking flustered.
“Honey, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?”
The woman looked at Feng Jin in confusion. Why were they carrying all the water out? Seeing Ye Qingyi on the car roof, she immediately understood and became angry.
“Boss, the water is here, but…”
The younger brother didn’t know what to say.
“But what?”
The younger brother awkwardly turned the case around. The box was torn open, and only two bottles of water remained inside.
Feng Jin was dumbfounded. He snapped, “Who touched my water?!”
The woman rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you say I smelled bad? I just took a quick shower.”
“You…!”
Feng Jin was speechless. The others murmured among themselves, surprised that someone could still afford to shower…
Tang Ze drew out an “oh”. “You don’t have eleven cases. You have ten cases and two bottles.”
“I do! I can borrow a few more bottles. Wait, I’ll be right back!”
Feng Jin was about to ask his men for water.
Bang! A shell casing clattered to the ground.
Feng Jin froze, his eyes wide open, then he collapsed, blood oozing from his forehead.
Tang Ze blew on the gun barrel and said calmly, “I hate being lied to.”
Ding Feng, standing to the side, felt a mix of relief and fear, but mostly fear. Cold sweat trickled down his back.
In just a few minutes, Tang Ze had killed both Feng Jin and Sun Youqing. He was now the boss… wait, would he kill him too?
This thought filled Ding Feng with dread.
“Honey!”
Seeing her husband killed, the woman rushed over, only to find him dead.
“What are you all waiting for? He killed your boss! Kill him!”
Another bang.
The woman collapsed onto Feng Jin’s body. She hadn’t seemed to realize who was in charge here.
Tang Ze sighed. “Why all this fighting and killing? Can’t we all just get along?”
His words angered everyone. Who was doing all the fighting and killing? Who started it? How dare he!
But they only dared to think these thoughts. No one dared to act; whoever did would be next.
Ye Qingyi found Tang Ze strange. He acted like a cold-blooded killer, but his words were somewhat humorous. A strange man. But she still had to thank him.
“I bid ten cases. Are you still going to bid?”
Tang Ze looked at Ding Feng.
Ding Feng quickly shook his head. Continuing to bid was the same as bidding with his life.
“Anyone else want to bid? I’m very fair.”
Tang Ze looked around and shouted. There was no response, only fearful stares.
Tang Ze shrugged, bored. “Fine. Announce the winner then.”
“Alright, alright. Congratulations to the boss of Building Three for winning the beautiful auction item.”
The auctioneer quickly ran over and handed the rope to Tang Ze, along with Ye Qingyi’s tattered clothes and her phone.
Tang Ze slapped his forehead. “Oh right, I haven’t paid yet. Can’t dine and dash.”
“I killed two bosses, so their supplies should be mine, right? No problem with that logic, right?”
Tang Ze looked at the crowd.
Ding Feng laughed heartily. “No problem, of course not.”
“Since that’s the case, we’ll deduct it from the two bosses’ share. I’m in a good mood today, so consider the extra my treat.”
Everyone shared the same thought:
I’ve never seen such a shameless person, coming here empty-handed and taking away a top-quality beauty without paying anything.
Well, he did pay three bullets.
Suddenly remembering something, Tang Ze turned to the now-leaderless men and reminded them, “If I were you, I’d quickly choose a new boss.”
Ding Feng’s lips twitched. Was he trying to prevent him from taking over?
Seeing the men from Buildings Two and Five gathering together, Ding Feng frowned. He had just gotten rid of two rivals, and now two more were about to emerge?
Damn delivery guy, I’ll make you pay!
Arriving at the elevator, Ye Qingyi said weakly, “Could I put my clothes on?”
Tang Ze turned and smiled. “You look good like this. Why bother?”
“Huh?”
“They’re all torn and dirty anyway. Just put them on, such a hassle.”
“Could you untie me?”
Tang Ze clicked his tongue. Was he her servant?
Although she put her clothes back on, Tang Ze still thought she looked good, a kind of ravaged beauty. Ye Qingyi said gratefully, “Thank you for saving me.”
Tang Ze simply hummed in acknowledgement. The elevator doors opened, and he stepped inside. Ye Qingyi bit her lip and followed.
Arriving at the apartment, Tang Ze clapped his hands. “Kitties, wake up! We have a newcomer.”
An Bai and Sun Ting opened their tired eyes and slowly sat up, looking at Ye Qingyi. Their fatigue vanished, replaced by astonishment.
“Where… where did you find her?”
An Bai asked, dumbfounded. There was actually another top-tier beauty in this complex, on par with them.
