RBCT Chapter 11 Rebellion
Chapter 11 Rebellion
Although Wuhan is one of the most luxurious first-tier cities, even the most prosperous places still have street scenes of ordinary people.
Many people's first thought after getting money is to escape their poor places, but some people prefer to live a life of quiet seclusion in the city.
A residential area with only one or two-story buildings nearby.
A girl, only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a white dress and with her hair in a bun, was bandaging her brother's wounds at home.
"Brother, who hurt you? How come there's such a big wound?"
The girl had a first-aid kit and bandages all around her, indicating that she had prepared a lot of such items before, suggesting that this was not the first time she had done this.
"Does it hurt, bro?"
The burly man's face was expressionless; even if he was in pain, he wouldn't show it in front of his sister. Instead, he would laugh heartily.
"It's just a minor cut, it looks big but it's actually very shallow, it doesn't hurt at all. It's no different from a mosquito bite."
The younger sister frowned, staring at the knife wound with a pain in her heart: "It's all bloody and mangled, and there's no difference at all? Wasn't he supposed to be just a petty thief? How did he end up like this?"
"I originally thought nothing would happen, but I was careless and got hurt. Don't worry about it, it's normal for bodyguards to have minor injuries."
The younger sister hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Although my brother always said that he worked as a bodyguard.
But she had already investigated and found out that her brother was not doing any legitimate business at all. In fact, he was working as a thug for others, doing dangerous jobs like clearing out venues.
All of this was for his own sake. If it weren't for supporting his son's schooling, his brother wouldn't have to work in a factory all day to earn money on the edge of a knife.
She changed the dressing and tied the final bandage.
"Brother, after I graduate next year and start earning money, can you find a safer job? I'll support you then."
Xia Yi laughed with relief upon hearing this:
"Little sister, you're still too young and don't understand anything. You'll really need money when you graduate. Then we'll find you a good job, and I'll buy you a car and a house. And when you have someone you like, we won't let you be inferior to others."
I'll give you at least 500,000 yuan as a dowry! Plus jewelry and other valuables! That way, they won't dare bully you! We'll never again live that dependent, subservient life we had as children! My brother and I will be the elite in this big city!
My younger sister said softly, "I think our life is already very good."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yi's phone rang. He knew from the number that it was work again.
He patted his little sister's head and said, "Alright, little sister, I have to go to work now. It's Saturday, so you can rest at home, read a book, look at your phone or something. We'll go out for barbecue when I get back tonight."
Seeing her brother about to leave, the younger sister said, "Brother! You're so badly injured, shouldn't you rest for a couple of days?"
"This little injury is nothing. I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself at home. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Xia Yi ignored his sister's worries and walked out of the house. As soon as he closed the door, he grimaced in pain.
Although the wound wasn't deep, the cut almost covered his entire forearm, and he almost broke out in a sweat when his younger sister changed the dressing herself.
Answer the phone and ask the other party, "What's going on?"
"Brother Xia, there's been a bit of trouble at that venue."
"Okay, wait for me for ten minutes."
Xia Yi, with her sturdy frame, put on a coat, went downstairs, and sped away on her motorcycle.
The younger sister upstairs looked out the window at her brother, pursing her lips slightly: "Brother..."
Ten minutes later, in a blatantly open arcade in the southern district of Jiangcheng, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
The situation only eased after Xia Yi appeared.
"What's going on?"
The men explained the situation to Xia Yi, saying that the owner of the place refused to pay and even called people to beat them up.
Xia Yi looked at the arcade manager and the seven or eight bodyguards around him.
His voice, though not angry, carried an air of authority: "So, this tiny place of yours is planning to oppose us? Planning to break away and become independent?"
The store manager was a man in his thirties, and he was a little nervous when he saw Xia Yi, who was quite large.
Everyone in this area knows who Xia Yi's background is.
That ruthless woman is capable of anything.
He chuckled and said:
"Brother Xia, it's not that we're going against you, it's just that we're out of money today. I only asked for a ten-day or half-month extension, and your brothers started causing trouble, kicking out customers and smashing things. What are we supposed to do?"
He pleaded, "You and your brothers are all respectable people. Just because we're broke now doesn't mean you can force us to starve. We need customers to make money, especially since you need 300,000 right now."
"Taking a kickback?" Xia Yi glanced at her guilty-looking subordinate, knowing he was planning to take a cut, before speaking to the boss:
"Show me all your income and expenses. If you really don't have the money, we can discuss it. I can even have my people apologize to you, the boss. But if it was agreed before that you have the money but are unwilling to pay, that's a different matter."
"Alright, Brother Xia is very reasonable. Come with me, and I'll show you our income and expenses for the past six months."
After Xia Yi arrived, the people on both sides became more peaceful in their tone.
But in a corner of a fighting machine in the arcade, someone was now furious.
Because Lin Zheng was once again brutally defeated by the advanced computer.
I was killed by the AI in a combo attack; this is the thirteenth time.
Lin Zheng sat in front of the game console and cursed under his breath: "Damn, are fighting games this difficult against AI these days? I used to be a King of Fighters master, but now I can't even beat a beginner boss."
Beautiful woman grilling lamb!
Too lazy to insert coins and play again.
His eyes darted toward the two groups of people at the front desk in the lobby.
I thought it should be today, since I've been squatting for two days already.
According to the novel's plot, Xia Yi was assassinated in an underground casino called Phoenix Game Hall during this period of the story.
Then her younger sister joined Jiang Huaimeng's organization to avenge her brother and rise to prominence. Although she eventually died because she joined the villain's camp, that happened much later in the story.
What I need to do right now is to save Xia Yi, change the plot, and infiltrate the organization.
Lin Zheng looked at the people next to Xia Yi and the store manager.
Quietly observe the subtle movements of this group of people, then get up and walk over.
The person who will assassinate Xia Yi later will probably be the store manager, since he's the only one closest to her.
Otherwise, with Xia Yi's skills, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to kill her from a distance.
After waiting a moment, Lin Zheng finally noticed the shopkeeper's hand go into his pocket. He was about to step forward to stop him when he saw the man suddenly pull a box out of his pocket...
I am Cao Huazi?
The store manager patted out a cigarette and handed it to Xia Yi, grinning, "Brother Xia, you see? We've really been short of money lately, business has been terrible. Can you give us a little more time?"
Xia Yi took the cigarette helplessly: "It's true, you guys are really stingy with this little bit of money."
"Sigh, our business has been stolen by the arcade next door. They're really doing well there lately."
Xia Yi looked at the vandalized area and fulfilled her promise: "Then I'll have my men apologize to you. I'm sorry for smashing your things."
The store manager waved his hand: "No need, no need for an apology. Really, it's not necessary. I'll make it up to you as soon as I have the money."
"No, I, Xia Yi, mean what I say. Tiger, apologize to the boss! Say sorry."
The henchman named Hu Zi frowned, seemingly losing face in front of so many brothers: "Brother Xia... there's no need for an apology, is there?"
Xia Yi turned to look at the other person and pulled him over: "I said I would apologize, so I have to apologize to the boss in person."
Tiger gritted his teeth and slowly walked up to the shop manager. Even though the manager kept saying it wasn't necessary, Xia Yi didn't back down.
However, the subtle atmosphere made Lin Zheng, who was shocked by the cigarette being pulled out, feel that something was off.
Wait.
The novel doesn't seem to mention this part of the story much because it's short, and it doesn't say that the other party killed her. So, Xia Yi was... killed by her own subordinate?
Sure enough, the next moment, Tiger, gritting his teeth, suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket and slashed it at Xia Yi's neck: "Sorry, Brother Xia!"
