26: Chapter 26 Of all people to provoke, why did you have to provoke him?

Seeing Zhong Zijie bringing people over,

the middle-aged woman naturally knew that Zhong Zijie was here to save the day.

She quickly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Zhong Zijie, hurry up and kill them!"

Zhong Zijie nodded with full confidence, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Although he was no match for Luo Wei,

he had brought backup!

"Brother Scar, that's the kid who hit me!"

Zhong Zijie pointed at Luo Wei, signaling the bald man beside him to take action.

Seeing Luo Wei, the bald man with a hideous scar on his face froze for a moment.

He didn't know Luo Wei, but he had seen him yesterday.

Yesterday, Luo Wei had followed a real estate agent to look at the apartment he was renting.

At the time, Scar Face suspected that Luo Wei had taken the gold he had hidden above the kitchen ceiling.

However, Luo Wei's hands had been empty then, and he was very strong, so Scar Face didn't press the matter further.

From yesterday until now, he had been searching for his missing gold.

But unfortunately, he couldn't find a single trace.

Just now, Zhong Zijie had found him.

He had followed along solely with the intention of making some extra cash.

He never expected that the person Zhong Zijie wanted him to deal with would be Luo Wei.

Scar Face massaged his right hand; yesterday, he had reached out to grab Luo Wei by the collar.

Only to be slapped on the hand by Luo Wei. Even though a day had passed, his right hand still throbbed with a dull pain!

In short, Scar Face knew very well that Luo Wei was incredibly strong, and opposing him would definitely lead to no good end!

Gu Nanqiao and Liu Zhixu hid behind Luo Wei, both trembling with fear at the sight of the menacing Scar Face.

They suddenly realized they might have bitten off more than they could chew.

They hadn't expected Zhong Zijie to find someone who looked like they had just been released from prison to back him up!

Just as they were worrying that Luo Wei might come out on the losing end,

no one expected the fierce Scar Face to raise his hand

and deliver a vicious slap to Zhong Zijie!

"Damn it, of all the people to provoke, you had to provoke him!"

"I don't want any part of your mess. Don't look for me again; I don't even know you!"

After slapping Zhong Zijie, Scar Face turned and headed downstairs decisively, as if he had never been there!

Such a reversal left everyone present dumbfounded and unable to believe their eyes!

Even Luo Wei was surprised.

He thought Scar Face would try to fight him.

He hadn't expected Scar Face to be so sharp; realizing he was no match, he turned and left!

The crowd gradually came to their senses, and everyone realized that when Scar Face said "of all the people to provoke," he was referring to Luo Wei!

"Hahaha..." Liu Zhixu looked up at Luo Wei with worshipful eyes. "That bald guy must know that Brother Luo Wei is a powerhouse who can crack a wall with one kick, which is why he was scared witless!"

This refined-looking young man could actually crack a wall with a single kick?

Though they didn't know if it was true or not,

based on Scar Face's reaction,

Luo Wei was extremely formidable!

As soon as Scar Face left, Zhong Zijie immediately lost his nerve!

His legs felt weak, and he didn't even have the strength to run away!

The middle-aged woman was also stunned; she hadn't expected the person Zhong Zijie brought to be so useless!

Luo Wei reached out and, like a hawk catching a chick, hoisted the spineless Zhong Zijie up and threw him into the rental house.

Then, he looked coldly at the triangle-eyed middle-aged woman. "You ordered this guy to stalk and harass Gu Nanqiao."

"This has caused Gu Nanqiao significant psychological trauma."

"Tell me, how should you compensate Gu Nanqiao?"

"Will you choose to pay a sum of money?"

"Or should I give you a beating so Gu Nanqiao can vent her frustration?"

Whether it was paying money or getting beaten, the triangle-eyed middle-aged woman didn't want to choose either!

With a miserable expression, she wanted to play the family card and tell Gu Nanqiao, 'I'm your eldest aunt!'

Unfortunately, before she could speak, Luo Wei kicked the coffee table.

The solid marble coffee table was smashed to pieces with a single kick!

The middle-aged woman gasped in terror!

She swallowed her pleas for mercy!

She finally understood why Scar Face had fled just now!

If that kick landed on a person, every bone in their body would break; they'd be dead or crippled!

She didn't want to suffer like that, so she hurriedly made a choice. "I... I'll pay. I'll pay Nanqiao for emotional distress..."

Shivering, she went into the room to find her phone.

As for Du Jialing, she had been playing dead.

Hiding in the room, not daring to come out.

Seeing Luo Wei show his might once again!

Liu Zhixu cheered and threw her arms around Luo Wei's!

She beamed with pride, as if she were the one who had kicked the marble coffee table to pieces.

A flush rose to Gu Nanqiao's pale cheeks, and she cast a grateful look at Luo Wei.

Luo Wei had indeed helped her vent her pent-up frustration!

She could never have done this on her own.

Before long, the middle-aged woman came out of the room.

She looked embarrassed; the reason was simple—she was broke and had very little money in her account.

Holding a jewelry box in her hand, her eyes flickered as she handed it to Gu Nanqiao.

"Take this jewelry as compensation..."

Gu Nanqiao took the jewelry box, and when she opened it, she was nearly moved to tears of anger.

Inside were a diamond necklace, gold bracelets, and jade pendants—all of them were her mother's jewelry!

After her mother passed away, Gu Nanqiao had inventoried her mother's jewelry and always felt that some pieces were missing.

This jewelry held great sentimental value for her mother; there was no way she would have given it to this woman!

She didn't know when this woman had stolen them from her mother!

Seeing Gu Nanqiao's reaction, Liu Zhixu immediately guessed what had happened.

With a stern face, she roared at the middle-aged woman!

"Is there more? Give it all back!"

"No... there's no more..." The middle-aged woman's eyes shifted; how could she possibly hand over all the jewelry!

"Very well!" Liu Zhixu glanced at Luo Wei. "She's being dishonest. I'll go look for them myself!"

Liu Zhixu headed toward the middle-aged woman's room, and the woman tried to stop her.

But Luo Wei grabbed her!

Soon, Liu Zhixu emerged from the room.

In her hand, she held seven or eight more pieces of jewelry.

Gu Nanqiao recognized them at a glance—they all belonged to her mother!

Taking the jewelry, Gu Nanqiao didn't want to say a word. She gave the middle-aged woman a cold look and turned to leave.

After the three of them left, the middle-aged woman slumped onto the floor as if mourning her parents. She had thought she could seize Gu Nanqiao's house.

Instead, she had gone for wool and come home shorn; the jewelry she had worked so hard to steal had all been taken back by Gu Nanqiao!

Du Jialing, who had been hiding in the room, finally appeared.

She knew exactly what had happened.

Seeing her mother in a daze

and Zhong Zijie heading for the door to slip away,

Du Jialing was livid. She picked up a piece of marble and threw it at Zhong Zijie!

"You useless dog, you—" Before Du Jialing could finish her sentence,

the hard piece of marble struck Zhong Zijie on the back of his head.

Zhong Zijie collapsed instantly and began to convulse!

The sight of this scared Du Jialing and the middle-aged woman out of their wits...
