20demayo Chapter 15: He had absolutely no serious thoughts!
Chapter 15: He had absolutely no serious thoughts!
"Thank you, sir."
Liu San smiled and accepted the hundred yuan, not foolishly trying to give Zhang Guohao change.
The boss pays more because he appreciates you.
If I were to ask for money myself, that would be too honest of me, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the boss?
"Let's go in and take a look."
It seemed that only then did Zhang Guohao remember to check the interior decoration.
Zhang Guohao knew that Liu San wouldn't fool him in this kind of matter, and wouldn't ruin his reputation for a little brokerage fee.
Besides, he was offering more money. Just for the sake of the money, Liu San would have to be more on his side; who would turn down money?
Stepping into the courtyard, it was indeed as Liu San had said: the decoration was very nice, and all kinds of furniture were quite complete. However, since no one had lived there for many years, the furniture inevitably had some smell, but overall, it was still usable.
The agent returned quickly, bringing the contract with him. The three of them checked the contract and, finding no problems, signed it. The agent handed over the keys and then left, entangled with Liu San.
Zhang Guohao locked the house door and the courtyard gate, then strolled around to find dinner.
After all this commotion, it was almost dark. If we didn't eat and drink our fill quickly, we'd be late for the night's deliveries.
Zhang Guohao had walked less than two hundred meters along the beach when he heard a piercing scream! Then came four or five curses.
"That damn bitch, how dare she hit me! Go after her, everyone gets a share! Line up!"
"Don't worry, boss, this little chick definitely won't get away!"
"Boss, I'm a germaphobe, can I be first in line?"
"Go away, catch them first!"
Zhang Guohao looked up and saw a woman running ahead, with four or five burly men following behind, about two hundred meters ahead.
Seeing this, Zhang Guohao lit a cigarette, knowing that this was definitely a scheme by criminals to force women into prostitution, but he wondered whether he should intervene or not.
Let's see what the girl looks like!
The girl ran very fast, and her clothes were torn in several places, revealing her snow-white skin.
Zhang Guohao threw away his cigarette butt, rubbing his hands together in anticipation of making his move. This girl is pretty!
There are no suitable docks on this coast, and hardly anyone around. Occasionally, smugglers bring stowaway refugees ashore to find a meal. As a result, apart from Zhang Guohao, there is practically no one else in the area.
"Please, save me!"
The girl's eyes lit up the moment she saw Zhang Guohao. She swung her long legs and ran to Zhang Guohao's side, hiding directly behind him. Her still-shaken eyes relaxed a little.
"Who are you? And who are they?"
Zhang Guohao didn't rush to make a move. The girl was pretty, but not so pretty that he would be completely captivated by her.
He needed to find out exactly what this woman did and whether he could take her into his home.
At this moment, Zhang Guohao felt as if he had the protagonist's halo. He came to rent a room and even encountered a hero saving a damsel in distress.
"I came from the mainland to visit relatives. They had agreed that as long as I paid them, they would send me here!"
"But when we got here, they...they attacked me!"
The girl was crying with tears streaming down her face, and her snow-white skin even reflected the moonlight.
"Hey, you've taken the money and aren't going to do anything, huh? Don't worry, I'm here to guarantee your safety. You don't have any engagements or anything like that, do you?"
Zhang Guohao said to the girl.
"Uh... huh?"
The girl was stunned, her expression freezing. Something was off about this person.
"No, no!"
The girl said firmly.
"That's fine then. You can come with me from now on."
Zhang Guohao bluntly said, "In this world, human life is worth less than grass. And with my skills being so poor, why should I dawdle and date girls?"
What a joke! That would be a complete waste of all your skills!
I won't say I don't eat beef, but I definitely don't eat regular pork anymore, it's too fatty!
"Hey kid, whose pants weren't tied properly and you're sticking out?"
"If you know what's good for you, call the person out here and get back to what you were doing! Don't act like you're some big shot and get slapped across the face!"
"We're part of the Number Gang, so if you know what's good for you, don't cause trouble for yourself."
The pursuers arrived in front of Zhang Guohao and, seeing this, pointed and whispered at him.
"Ha, it's the number trolley, good timing!"
Zhang Guohao was even more excited. He hadn't encountered the number gang's downfall yesterday, but he made up for it today.
"Hey, you son of a bitch, I'm talking to you, you fucking bastard, say something!"
"Get out of here right now! Otherwise, things will be very different once this knife goes in!"
"Hey, look, this kid's scared stiff! He's not moving!"
"You bastard, I'm Wei, the head of the Number Gang. If you don't want to go down to the sea and feed the fish, get the hell out of here!"
The leader of the pursuing group also emerged, panting heavily. He had been scalded on the head and was now covering his wound with a handkerchief.
"So noisy!"
Zhang Guohao wasn't going to waste his breath arguing with them; he simply snatched the knife and swung it down on the man's head.
Just kidding, these few eggs aren't even enough to warm me up. One slash each, head chopped off!
One by one, with a forehand strike and a backhand strike, they began to hack and slash at the faces of the several fallen men opposite them.
With a dozen or so slashes, all five pursuers were taken down one by one, clutching their faces and howling.
"Get down!"
Not only did he knock people over, Zhang Guohao also kicked each of the five men into the sea!
The seawater hit their wounds, causing the five men to scream in pain.
Zhang Guohao seemed oblivious to their screams, then turned to the girl and said:
"What's your name?"
"Hong Kong, born in Hong Kong".
The girl said tremblingly, "The person I asked to help me doesn't seem to be a good person either. He was incredibly fast and steady when he did it!"
This guy is even more ruthless than the pursuers. He came up here with the intention of killing people, aiming only for their heads. After a while, none of these people made a sound in the water.
"Then you'll be working for me from now on. I happen to need someone to serve me tea and water. Do a good job, and I won't treat you badly. See that house over there? The prettiest one. The key is here. Go ahead and go."
"Of course, if you want to run away, that's fine with me. But your so-called relatives may not be that good to you. You can go and check on them tomorrow and then come back. It's a three-day deadline. If you're not here after three days, I'll consider you dead."
"If you come back, I'll give you a peaceful life."
Zhang Guohao took out twenty yuan and the house key, and handed them both to the girl across the street.
The girl tremblingly accepted the money and keys, wanting to say something, but after glancing at Zhang Guohao, she lowered her head and put her things away.
Zhang Guohao had absolutely no intention of communicating with her. Tens of thousands of refugees came to the island every day, and he couldn't possibly manage them all.
But since the girl was good-looking, Zhang Guohao was willing to put in a little effort, but only a little.
Zhang Guohao wasn't afraid that the other party would empty his house. If a young girl who had just come to stay with relatives had that kind of ability, she wouldn't be being chased by human traffickers.
Zhang Guohao was just lustful and wanted a pretty girl; he had no other serious intentions whatsoever!
In Hong Kong Island, it's not easy to find a decent meal. Not many people are as willing to risk their lives as Cheung Kwok-ho!
