Chapter 5 Prelude to Robbery
Chapter 5 Prelude to Robbery
After that, Shen Boyan really didn't play any more tricks, the two finished their dinner "respecting each other as guests", and before parting, Shen Boyan sent Xia Shu'an to the door.
The car arranged by the hotel has been waiting for a long time, and the black silhouette is hidden outside the magnificent lights of the lobby, as if dormant.Xia Shu'an had already got into the car, holding the medicine that she had no chance to use.
Shen Boyan stood one step away from him, his figure was drawn into a long line by the light, and his dark pupils became deeper and deeper with some hidden desire.He looked at Xia Shu'an, and said slowly:
"I heard that Mr. Xia is still running around looking for funding. Mr. Xia is a veteran in the business world. I believe there will be someone willing to help. Mr. Xia, we will come back when the time comes."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Xia Shu'an any time to react, he patted on the car door and let the driver drive away.
Xia Shu'an swallowed the words again.
"..."
All right, then I'll wait for your operation.
......
The timeline continues to extend forward along the old memories, and another week has passed, and the matter of borrowing money and repaying the debt has not progressed, and Xia's father and mother are haggard.
On this day, Xia's father returned home late at night, and was about to return to his room when Xia Shu'an suddenly called him: "Dad, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter, Ann."
Father Xia bowed his back slightly, watched his son approach, stretched out his hand, showing two tickets in his hand: "Dad, these are two movie tickets, you and Mom haven't gone out together for a long time, go out tomorrow, have a meal and watch Let's make a movie."
"Xiao An, I—"
"Dad!" Xia Shu'an shouted forcefully, stepped forward, and held Father Xia's hand:
"I know, it's not easy for you and mom during this time, but mom is not in good health and can't do anything. She is more anxious than you when she sees you working hard. In the past few days, I have never seen a smile on her face."
"The money matter can't be resolved in a day or two, but our family will be healthy and live together happily in the future. You just take a day to spend time with your mother and relieve her depression."
Father Xia and mother Xia have been married for many years, and they only have one child, Xia Shu'an, and they have never had any other ideas. The relationship between the two is evident.After hearing his words, Father Xia had mixed feelings for a while, and finally nodded:
"Yes, your mother is worried these days."
Xia Shu'an chuckled, and held his hand: "Spare her a good day."
After sending father Xia back to the room, Xia Shu'an's face gradually sank. In his last life, it was tomorrow. This young master, who had always been well-clothed, encountered the first big setback in his life.
This time, even if the future cannot be changed, he still has to protect his family.
The next day, Xia Shu'an woke up early. They have already moved out of their aunt's house and lived in a rented house. Although the place is small, they are the only ones living there, so they are comfortable.
Apart from this, they now have only one old store.The old store was opened in the alley, and the furnishings were simple. It looked like an ordinary old store. Not to mention, no one knew that it was once related to the famous Xiashi enterprise.
This is the shop that his great-grandfather would pass down, so it's considered an ancestral business.Last night, Xia Shu'an called one by one, apologized to the customers who had made an appointment in advance, and then he called the store staff to tell them that the store will be closed tomorrow and there is no need to come over.
After arriving at the store, he hung a sign of temporary closure at the door. When he opened the door, a few regular customers from nearby came over, pointed to the sign on the door lock and said, "Aren't you going to open the store today?"
"Yes, the store is closed today, you can come back another day... come back next week."
After Xia Shu'an finished all this, he estimated the time and made a call with the phone in the shop.
"Hey, the police station, I want to call the police. I just saw several people coming towards us with iron bars. We have a lot of customers eating here, so I'm a little scared."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Shu'an sat in the store, looking at the watch on the wall. About 10 minutes later, the closed door was pushed open from the outside with a bang, and a few gangsters walked in swaggeringly.
"What kind of store is it closing? Do you know that it's ugly to owe money, so you want to shrink back in the store and be a coward."
Xia Shu'an stood up and looked at the sticks in their hands with some vigilance: "What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" The leader threw his stick to the ground, and there was a "puff" sound in the air:
"It's only natural to pay off debts. What do you think we have?"
Xia Shu'an took a step back and said, "I owe money, of course I will pay it back, but I have never heard of being forced to make sense with a stick."
"Boy." The man raised the stick in his hand.
Xia Shu'an immediately said: "I have 2000 million on hand—"
The man was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the people in such a small shop could easily take out tens of millions. This was different from what their employer had promised, and he was not a fool. Billion, what do tens of millions mean?"
"Then which creditor did you say invited you to collect the debt? I don't remember any customers who owe hundreds of millions."
"You—" The man couldn't figure this out, he became angry and shouted at Xia Shu'an:
"Just pay back the fucking money, talk so much bullshit!"
As he spoke, he was about to smash a vase next to him.The vase was personally selected by Xia Shu'an's great-grandfather. It has been there since the store opened, and it is considered the treasure of the store.Before Xia Shu'an realized it, she rushed up and hugged the vase, and stepped back abruptly.
His center of gravity was unstable, he staggered a few steps back, and hit the corner of the cashier desk directly with his back.
--pain!
Seeing that Xia Shuan dared to resist, those gangsters picked up sticks and smashed them randomly. Several times, the thick sticks reached his side. Xia Shuan hugged the vase while protecting his head, and was blocked in a corner.
"I advise you to be sensible—"
The man grinned ferociously. Just as he raised the stick, the door slammed open, and the door was kicked open. Xia Shu'an thought the police had arrived, and his eyes lit up.I saw men in messy clothes rushing in, all of them tall and burly, but none of them were policemen.
"What are you doing?!"
After they came in, they rushed into the crowd of gangsters, still holding guys in their hands, and they didn't look good at first glance.
The gangsters also panicked: "Who are you?"
"Who the hell are you, what are you doing in broad daylight?"
"Let me tell you, in a society ruled by law, violence is shameful!"
Having said that, the momentum they rushed in was not friendly at all.
Although the number of men in the second wave was small, their hands and feet were exceptionally sharp, as if they had received professional training. Two more men rushed out of the crowd to protect Xia Shu'an.In the panic, Xia Shu'an didn't have time to ask who they were. The two gangs fought for 2 minutes, and there was another roar at the door:
"Police, stop!"
Recently, the police station has been vigorously cracking down on hooligans. Many policemen came back, all fully equipped, wielding batons, and quickly controlled the scene.
"Take them all to the police station!"
"..."
In the police station, two groups of people stood separately, with five or six people on each side, looking quite big.The policeman who made the record glanced at each side and said:
"Who called the police?"
"it's me!"
Xia Shu'an took a step forward. His hair was messy, his body was scratched by pieces of porcelain, and there was a light bloodstain on his face, lining his white jade face. It was not serious, but it was very uncomfortable to look at.
The policewoman on the side was a little gentle, and said to Xia Shu'an, "Tell me about the matter."
As the owner of the shop, Xia Shu'an also explained the situation to the police as the caller.When asked about gangsters, those gangsters laughed and said:
"We didn't think about what to do. We just had a meal, but the boss refused to let us in. Don't you think this is discrimination? The brothers started fighting as soon as their heads got hot."
This kind of old hooligans who often go in and out of the police station, the police can't do anything about them. No matter how they can be shut down, they are still messy when they come out.
The policeman looked to the other side: "What about you?"
"I'm wronged!" The leading young man exaggeratedly said:
"We just wanted to have a meal. When we entered the store, we saw someone smashing the store, and a small boss surrounded by people. We just drew our swords to help when we saw injustice, and we were just doing good people and doing good deeds!"
"Do good deeds and you still hold the guy?"
Youth: "They go out to eat, don't they also carry sticks."
Xia Shu'an couldn't hold it back, let out a chuckle, and bit his lip quickly.
"..."
The policeman who made the record looked from one side to the other, and knew that the matter was over again with [-] slaps each.
While recording, a man whose aura was incompatible with the atmosphere of the police station suddenly came from outside.
The man was dressed in a black suit, with good features, shrewdness in his slightly off-set eyes, and a touch of gold-rimmed glasses, which was very in line with the image of an elite in the public mind.
Accompanying him was a man who seemed to be an upper-level leader of the police station. The two walked up to the police and had a few words with them.The policeman looked up at Xia Shu'an, who was putting on the band-aid with the help of the policewoman, and nodded.
After a while, the policeman said to Xia Shu'an:
"you can go now."
Xia Shu'an nodded, and when he walked past those young people, he stopped and nodded his thanks to them, before walking into the police station.He walked out of the gate, and as expected, a man in a suit was waiting for him at the gate.
"Mr. Xia, our boss wants to see you."
......
......
On a September day, I was already sweating after walking outside for five or six minutes.
The man led Xia Shuan to a black car parked in the park outside the coffee shop, turned his head and said respectfully:
"Mr. Xia, our boss is inside."
Xia Shu'an nodded at him and walked towards the car.
As soon as he opened the door, a hand stretched out from the car and buckled him on the back of the seat.The interior space of the four-seater Lexus is not small, but it still looks cramped when two adult men are stuffed.Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car was intertwined, and Shen Boyan's thunderous anger rushed towards Xia Shu'an.
Xia Shu'an hit his head on the back of the seat, his injured waist was pressed down hard, his lower limbs jerked violently, and he gasped.Shen Boyan didn't realize it, his eyes locked on the young man tightly, his eyes were like wild beasts:
"You think you are so powerful that you dare to confront the hooligans head-on?"
