Turning their heads, the thugs saw a sturdy man with a sinister gaze slowly approaching them.
The moment this man appeared, everyone present felt an invisible pressure suddenly descend upon their shoulders, plunging the air into a silence!
Everyone fearfully watched the imposing figure, not daring to make a sound for fear of provoking him!!!
Of course, this included Zhou Jing and Li Zijian, too. When they saw the man, they were also intimidated by his aura and looked at him in a daze.
Poisonous Snake!!!
When the thugs heard the man's voice, they immediately recognized him. Looking at the man, they quickly responded, "We'll act right away!!!"
With that, a few thugs turned around, looked at Zhou Jing coldly, grabbed her arm, and forcibly hauled her up!!!
"Let go of me!!!"
The sudden grab startled Zhou Jing, causing her to panic and struggle desperately.
However, Zhou Jing was just a teenage girl; how could her strength compare to these robust men?
So, despite her frenzied struggles, the result was still the same. The thugs grabbed her, attempting to take her away by force!!!
"What are you doing?! I said I would help her pay the debt! Are you planning to kidnap her?!"
Watching Zhou Jing being taken away, Li Zijian snapped out of it and hastily shouted at the thugs in alarm!
"Hmph."
But just then, a cold snort came from Poisonous Snake's direction, immediately halting Li Zijian's scolding.
Li Zijian could clearly sense the indescribable terror emanating from Poisonous Snake's direction. It felt like he was being stared down by a prehistoric beast, and a severe sense of fear sent chills down his spine, causing his hair to stand on end and his body to freeze!
Therefore, Li Zijian shut his mouth.
He chickened out.
Under Poisonous Snake's terrifying pressure, Li Zijian went pale, clamped his mouth shut, and turned his head away, pretending it wasn't he who had spoken earlier. He dared not make a sound, fearing being targeted by Poisonous Snake!!!
As for Zhou Jing?
Let whoever wants to take her do so. Compared to a woman, his own life was far more important!!!
Meanwhile, Zhou Jing, being dragged away by the thugs, was still struggling. She glanced towards Li Zijian, initially hoping for rescue but quickly grew despairing seeing him terrified and unwilling to intervene.
"Grab this guy too!"
Though Li Zijian had shut his mouth, Poisonous Snake did not let him go, coldly gave the order while staring in Li Zijian's direction.
The thugs were momentarily taken aback but, because it was Poisonous Snake's order, dared not resist. They turned and approached Li Zijian to grab him too and take him along!
"What are you doing?! I owe you nothing, why are you taking me?!"
Stunned and panicked, Li Zijian shouted frantically as the thugs approached, "My dad owns the Crown Hotel, you can't take me; he won't let you off!!!"
But since it was Poisonous Snake's command, the thugs ignored his threats, and in no time, pinned Li Zijian down too!!!
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
At this point, Poisonous Snake, with a faintly disdainful look in his sinister gaze, mocked, "Your dad owns the Crown Hotel, must be quite wealthy, right? In that case, I could use some of that money, no problem, right?!"
If Li Zijian hadn't spoken up earlier, Poisonous Snake might not have paid him much mind. But since he revealed his identity, it piqued Poisonous Snake's interest.
He was short of money lately; the ten grand from Black Tiger Association wasn't enough. So, catching Li Zijian and making extra cash seemed like a good move.
"Take them all away!!!"
With a cynical smile, Poisonous Snake dropped this statement to the thugs, then led them—along with captured Zhou Jing and Li Zijian—to a van!
During this, although there were plenty of bystanders around, none dared to intervene or call the police.
Only after Poisonous Snake and his crew left did folks finally breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the cold sweat soaking through their shirt backs.
Poisonous Snake brought on too much pressure!!!
...
Black Tiger Association Headquarters.
Zhou Jing and Li Zijian were tied up and tossed aside upon arrival.
Soon, other thugs, gathering around, began scrutinizing them with a keen interest.
Especially when these thugs saw Zhou Jing's decent looks, a greedy gleam appeared in their eyes.
Staring intensely at Zhou Jing and Li Zijian made them more anxious.
Particularly Zhou Jing, under the unabashed gazes from the thugs, she curled up in fear, inching backward, attempting to escape their stares.
"Move aside!"
Just then, a deep voice commanded, prompting the reluctant thugs to tear their eyes away from Zhou Jing and clear a path.
Then, the one-armed thug leader along with Poisonous Snake walked through the path.
Seeing Zhou Jing in their grasp, the thug leader's face twisted with a semblance of resentment!
If not for Zhou Jing, he wouldn't have led a blockade against Ye Qiu, then been harshly punished by him, breaking an arm in the process.
Thus, looking at Zhou Jing, the thug leader struggled to suppress his rage!!!
He suddenly yanked Zhou Jing's hair, lifting her up, and with a ferocious glare, furiously cursed, "You bitch, it's all your fault!!!"
