Chapter 374 Okay, stop playing around.
In the folds of the city, old neighborhoods are like a frail old man, silently telling stories of the past.
The mottled walls are covered with the marks of time, and the dimly lit corridors are filled with a damp and old-fashioned atmosphere.
Jiang Xue's mother stood at her doorstep, facing two uninvited guests. Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and fear and unease overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
In all her life, the fiercest person Jiang Xue's mother had ever encountered was a petty, mean-spirited commoner in the market who haggled over a few cents and spoke with sharp tongues.
These people may have some verbal conflicts, but in a society governed by the rule of law, their actions are also within the bounds of regulations.
It can be said that although there were bad people among them, they were all limited by the deterrent effect of the law and dared not do anything harmful.
But the moment these two people appeared, they threw out death threats. Their tone was icy and chilling, carrying undisguised malice, like two sharp daggers piercing straight into her heart.
She clearly sensed that the other person's words were full of contempt for ordinary people like them, and a blatant disregard for the law.
Their arrogant attitude and their ability to manipulate others' fates made her believe that if she didn't obediently submit, these two would really kill her family.
Despite her legs trembling slightly, Jiang Xue's mother straightened her back and mustered her courage to speak loudly:
"You've got the wrong person. We don't have the medicine you're looking for. If you dare do anything illegal, I'll immediately report you to Uncle Hat!"
Although her words were firm and resolute, the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her extreme fear.
Upon hearing her words and seeing her feigned composure, the stranger curled his lips into a mocking sneer.
That smile seemed to mock Jiang Xue's mother's futile attempt to stop a chariot.
"Stop playing dumb. Do you think you can fool us?"
Before you came, we thoroughly investigated all your medical reports.
You recovered completely in just one afternoon; you can't deny the medication.
You only have two pills left. Do you really think you can protect this treasure?
For the sake of the medicine, we are willing to pay a high price to buy it.
"If you keep playing dumb, even if you hide in the police station, I have ways to make your whole family disappear from this world!"
The stranger's voice was deep and sinister, each word like a heavy hammer blow, striking Jiang Xue's mother's heart.
Hearing the threatening voice of a strange man coming from the doorway, Jiang's father inside the house became extremely anxious and rushed out like an enraged bull.
"What do you want? If you dare touch my family, I'll fight you to the death!"
Jiang's father's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, and he roared angrily.
He had finally seen his wife recover and life was just beginning to look up. How could he tolerate his family being bullied?
He quickly stood in front of Jiang's mother, using his not-so-robust but incredibly resolute body to build an unbreakable defense for his family.
The stranger looked Jiang's father up and down, noticing his faded clothes, which cost less than a pair of his socks combined.
The contempt in his eyes deepened.
He raised his hand in disgust, covering his nose as if Jiang's father were emitting a nauseating stench, his face filled with impatience.
"Fight me? Your whole family combined wouldn't even be worth a single one of my fingers."
"I'm here to deliver the money. Just obediently sign the contract, hand over the medicine, take a million, and you'll be set for life, isn't that great?"
Yesterday, when Jiang's father heard his wife talk about Tian Zhenzhen delivering medicine, he knew that it was this medicine that gave his wife a new lease on life.
In retrospect, it was the medicine's miraculous effects that attracted the covetousness of others.
Although their family was mired in poverty, it would be worse than pigs and dogs to exchange medicine, which was imbued with gratitude, for money.
Thinking of this, Jiang's father refused without hesitation, saying firmly, "We cannot sell this medicine!"
The stranger had assumed Jiang's father would be more sensible, but was unexpectedly rejected as well. He felt utterly humiliated and was furious.
"Fine, fine, it seems your family is quite arrogant, huh? You don't know what's good for you!"
Ah Hao, grab the medicine from me and teach those two a lesson.
I want to see just how tough their bones really are!
At his command, Ah Hao, who was standing to the side, immediately took action.
Ah Hao, the henchman kept by a stranger, had previously worked as a mercenary abroad.
On that land filled with smoke and bloodshed, he was stained with blood, committed many heinous and cruel acts, and his methods of torture were even more horrifying.
At this moment, a cruel light gleamed in his eyes, like a hungry wolf, as he approached Jiang's father step by step.
Seeing this, Jiang's father did not back down and rushed towards Ah Hao.
Despite his considerable strength, he was no match for the agile and professionally trained Ah Hao, as if he were throwing an egg against a rock.
In just two moves, Jiang's father was knocked to the ground. Ah Hao mercilessly stomped on his back. With each struggle, the pressure on Jiang's father's back increased. Before long, his back was a bloody mess, and blood seeped out.
Even the thick clothes were stained with a shocking red stain.
"Oh, honey! How dare you hit me! I'm calling the police right now!"
When Jiang Xue's mother saw Jiang's father being beaten, she screamed in terror and frantically pulled out her phone.
However, she was a step too slow, and the stranger snatched her phone away in an instant.
"Can't you see the situation? Do you think I'd give you a chance to call the police? Break his arm!"
The stranger gave the order menacingly.
Upon receiving the order, Ah Hao did not hesitate at all. He lifted his foot, which was on Jiang's father's back, and stomped hard on Jiang's father's arm.
If that kick lands, Jiang's father's arm will definitely be ruined.
At the critical moment, Jiang's father dodged to the side with all his might, his heavy foot stomping on the ground raising a cloud of dust, showing how much force he used.
"Not bad, you can dodge it. Let's see how many times you can dodge it!"
A strange excitement flashed in Ah Hao's eyes, followed by an even more ferocious look.
He lifted his leg again, this time faster, with a hint of mockery on his face.
Jiang Xue's mother was terrified by what she saw and screamed in despair, "No!"
Just at this critical moment, Tian Zhenzhen, who had just arrived downstairs, heard Jiang Xue's mother's terrified screams.
She inwardly cried out in alarm, her powerful mental energy instantly spreading out, and the scene before her eyes made her eyes widen in anger.
Ah Hao repeatedly lifted his foot, but each time deliberately avoided hitting Jiang's father's arm, wantonly toying with him.
Jiang's father was in a sorry state, and each struggle was accompanied by a painful groan.
"Alright, Ah Hao, stop playing around, we need to get down to business."
The stranger knew Ah Hao's wicked nature all too well; he enjoyed watching others struggle and resist in despair, reveling in the thrill of controlling their fate.
"This is boring. I was just getting interested." Ah Hao was interrupted, his face full of reluctance, and his interest vanished instantly.
Jiang's father, lying on the ground, listened to the conversation between the two men and gritted his teeth in hatred. He had never seen such vicious people before. In their eyes, human life was as worthless as grass, to be trampled on at will.
