Come out the back door. Yang Jie returned to the front desk and saw an impatient Luo Ke.
"What are you doing? Chatting for so long."
"a lot of."
After opening his mind, Yang Jie already understood what he should do next.
This feeling made Yang Jie feel a little happy.
After drinking the remaining nuclear rum on the table, Yang Jie patted Rock on the shoulder, and there was a bit of heroism in Yang Jie's tone.
"walk home!
We'll be busy next time. "
After returning home, Yang Jie told everyone about the gangster that Hall reminded.
"So Hall's suggestion is that we take the initiative and catch them first?"
"Yes, he has told me about those people."
"Then when do we take action?"
"Let's go visit a spot tomorrow, make a plan and then take action."
This was Yang Jie's original plan.
But in the middle of the night, he changed his mind.
To be precise, it was two uninvited guests who changed Yang Jie's mind.
Looking at the two young men kneeling in the living room, tied together by Ivan with a rope, Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
Pinching the bridge of his nose to relieve his sleepiness, Yang Jie looked at Ivan and asked:
"What's going on?"
Yang Jie was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly awakened by Ivan's roar downstairs, and then heard a gunshot.
This sudden situation made Yang Jie think something serious had happened. He didn't even have time to change into his pajamas. Yang Jie quickly grabbed the pistol beside the bed and ran downstairs with bare feet.
Then I saw the scene in front of me.
Ivan was wearing an old vest and placed his pistol on the coffee table.
"Two little thieves, it seems that these gangsters have taken action in advance."
The two young men were both about fourteen or fifteen years old. They had somewhat similar looks, sallow complexion, and a somewhat thin body. At first glance, they were caused by long-term malnutrition.
The two people were obviously frightened by Ivan. They huddled in the corner and shivered, looking at the guns in their hands. They were so scared that they almost cried.
"Are you members of that 'Tiger' gang?"
The Tiger Gang is the name those gangsters gave themselves.
When Hall told Yang Jie at that time, Yang Jie felt that it was quite vulgar.
Yang Jie held the pistol, looked at the two men and asked viciously.
The older man was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. The younger one next to him, after hesitating for a moment, replied tremblingly:
"How do you know..."
"Of course I know."
Yang Jie said, loaded the pistol, put it against his head, and continued:
“I also know what you’re here for, kid.
Steal money, am I right? "
When the young boy saw Yang Jie's attitude, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly:
"Yep."
"Boy, do you know what will happen if you dare to steal my money?"
Yang Jie continued to make a fierce face and threatened in a low voice.
The young man looked at the gun on his head with a trace of despair in his eyes, as if he had guessed his own ending.
"Ivan, go dig two holes in the back and bury them later."
After finishing the show, Yang Jie ordered Ivan to continue scaring the two children.
"Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
When the two young men saw that Yang Jie was really coming, they couldn't hold it any longer. They burst into tears and begged Yang Jie for mercy.
"We really have no choice, brother.
There are more than 20 of us brothers who really can't afford to take blood supplements. We really have no other way to do this. "
The two boys knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Yang Jie and begging for mercy.
"Brother, I beg you, I really beg you, let us go."
Yang Jie was stunned by the two people's crying words, shook his head, and determined to continue scaring them.
"Let you go? You dare to provoke me and you want me to let you go so easily?
Do you really think we are good people? "
The two of them knelt on the ground tremblingly, crying softly, unable to say a word.
"You just said that you still have some brothers?
So you guys are working together to steal my money, right? "
"No, big brother, it's really not!"
When the young man heard this, he couldn't even care about his fear. He quickly shook his head and defended:
"It really has nothing to do with them, it's our own ideas!"
"Cut the fucking nonsense!"
Yang Jie cursed and interrupted the two of them.
"Now I'll give you two choices: either you die, and I'll find your so-called 'brothers' and kill them one by one; or you cooperate with us honestly and save us some trouble, and I'll give it to you both. A way out."
The two hesitated for a moment, gritted their teeth, and said nothing.
Yang Jie was quite satisfied when he saw this, but he still had to keep that fierce look on his face.
"Ha! You're quite loyal!"
As he spoke, he looked at the two people with similar looks, suddenly grinned, and asked the older person:
"He's supposed to be your brother, right?"
The older child nodded blankly, then quickly thought of something, and shook his head in horror.
"It's too late to shake your head, kid.
Rock! "
As Yang Jie spoke, he called out to Luo Ke, who had been watching the show, and shouted in a rough voice:
"Since they don't want to say anything, drag the little one away first and kill him."
The corners of Luo Ke's mouth curved downward, as if he was about to choke. After coughing, Yang Jie laughed a few times, and reached out to drag the smaller one away.
"I said! I said!"
The older man completely collapsed when he saw this, and quickly shouted:
"I'll take you there, but don't kill him!"
After hearing this, Yang Jie smiled.
However, such a smile might be even more terrifying in the eyes of the two young men.
"That's right."
He said and patted the young man's cheek with his pistol.
"If you cooperate honestly, you two will not die. It's such a good thing, why can't you figure it out?"
The older young man lowered his head resignedly and relaxed his tense shoulders.
"We all live on 37th Street. I'll point you to the specific location."
Street 37 is about one kilometer away from Yang Jie and his family's residence. It is the famous "Xiamin Street" in Old Port.
Most of the people living there are poor, which is better than the poor outside the old port.
Through their descriptions, Yang Jie learned that the two were a pair of brothers, the older one named Mikey, and the younger one named Abe, a pair of orphans.
Most of these gangsters are orphans, and the few who have family members are either disabled or old and have little ability to work.
Naturally, the income is not high.
"Where's your family?"
"died."
Mikey's voice sounded calm, as if he was saying a very ordinary thing.
Yang Jie was silent for a moment and then asked:
"What do you usually do for a living?"
"Run errands and do chores for others."
After briefly asking about the situation, Yang Jie asked Elena to keep an eye on the younger child while the three of them changed their clothes and prepared to arrest the person.
Rock escorted Mikey into the car, while Yang Jie and Ivan followed.
"Are there many people in Old Port who can't afford blood supplements?"
Yang Jie looked at Mikey who got into the car and asked Ivan.
Ivan sighed.
“It depends on the situation.
The price of blood-tonifying tablets is usually not too high - only about five silver coins per bottle. Although this product needs to be taken every day, half a tablet a day can barely survive.
Those poor families can still live a comfortable life. "
Ivan said:
"But the price of blood-replenishing tablets fluctuates from time to time - just like recently, it has soared to almost thirty silver coins a bottle. These guys definitely can't afford it."
Yang Jie nodded and understood what Ivan meant.
If you can’t afford blood supplements, you won’t have the strength. Without strength, you won’t be able to do any work. If you can’t do the work, you will have no income. No income——
Naturally, I can't even afford blood-replenishing tablets.
"It's a vicious cycle."
"That's right."
Ivan agreed:
“In fact, whenever the price of blood supplements increases, many worthless people will be driven out of the Old Port.
A considerable part of those poor people come from this. "
