165: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

"Hey brothers, can we discuss something?"

Lin Tian took a pack of Huazi cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to each of the yellow-haired youths.

Although this bunch of trash was nothing in his eyes, he was the one asking for a favor, so Lin Tian's attitude was reasonably polite.

"What is it?"

The yellow-haired youth in the lead took the Huazi, lit it, puffed on it, and signaled for Lin Tian to just speak his mind.

As thugs hanging around the university town area, they often received private jobs in their daily lives.

For example, intimidation, bringing people to put on a show of force, or assisting a benefactor in playing the hero to save the damsel, and so on.

Hearing Lin Tian say he had a favor to ask, the yellow-haired youth was not surprised at all.

"Tonight, around eight o'clock, a girl will pass by here. You come out and pretend to harass her..."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

Although he didn't finish the rest of the sentence, Lin Tian believed these yellow-haired youths definitely understood.

"Can do, what about the price?"

The leader grinned, revealing an expression that said 'I understand everything,' which was extremely lecherous.

This kind of routine was something they had assisted some second-generation rich kids with before; they were way too familiar with it.

One could only say that rich people are truly awesome; the ways they pick up girls are so unique.

"Six of you, ten thousand each, how about that?"

Lin Tian glanced at these sleazy-looking social youths who clearly weren't good people and stated a price the other party couldn't refuse.

As long as he could get closer to Chen Xuewei, what was sixty thousand bucks?

Having been a killer for so many years, Lin Tian had accumulated some wealth; he had a few small goals worth of savings.

"No problem, deal!"

"You pay a five thousand deposit first, and the remaining five thousand after it's done, how about it?"

The yellow-haired youth agreed readily, his smile growing even brighter.

Damn, he had really met a big spender this time!

Ten thousand yuan, how many times would that be enough for him to get a foot massage at Hong Langman?

These people spent their days doing nothing, idling about, and could only survive by doing odd jobs.

Hearing Lin Tian offer ten thousand right off the bat, they were naturally ecstatic.

As for whether they would be exposed afterward, or caught by the police and taken to the station?

They hadn't even considered such things.

Returning to the detention center was just like going home; the people inside were all talented, and they spoke so well—he loved it there!

"No problem..."

Lin Tian took out the cash he had prepared in advance from his backpack, gave each of the six yellow-haired youths five thousand, then opened his phone to let them see a photo of Chen Xuewei, and began to formulate a more detailed hero-saving-the-damsel plan.

As a professional killer, Lin Tian naturally possessed extremely strong anti-reconnaissance awareness, which was why he specifically chose this alley without surveillance cameras to meet, and he didn't intend to use mobile transfers.

Otherwise, if these guys turned on him afterward, he wouldn't be able to explain himself at all.

He even specifically wiped his fingerprints off the banknotes and observed his surroundings to ensure no one was recording audio or video.

This way, even if it were uncovered later, as long as he refused to admit it to the death, the police couldn't do anything to him.

Lin Tian thought his plan was flawless, not knowing that the hummingbird detection robot hidden in a corner had clearly recorded the entire transaction conversation between him and the six yellow-haired youths.

Lin University, Teaching Building, Finance Class 3.

Jiang Che took out his phone and watched the footage sent back by the hummingbird detection robot with great interest, his expression odd.

Damn, hiring thugs to pretend to be hooligans, and then playing the hero to save the damsel himself?

Shouldn't this kind of routine be reserved for villains like him?

This Lin Tian guy really isn't a decent person!

Thinking of the other party's identity as a killer, Jiang Che quickly let it go.

Having spent years lurking in the dark world overseas and killing countless people, how could Lin Tian be any good?

This type of protagonist, just like the mercenary king Xiao Chen at the beginning, is both righteous and evil; in the end, he has no moral integrity, and is even worse than Chen Hao, that divine doctor who came down from the mountain.

Although Chen Hao is a bit of an idiot and likes to act cool, he is ultimately not the type to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

In old-school style novels, there are simply too many of these protagonists who are both righteous and evil; a protagonist who can be called upright and honest is truly rare.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole follows behind."

"Since you want to play, I'll play along with you..."

Jiang Che smiled evilly. After leaving the classroom, he walked to the corner of the stairs and directly dialed Bai Huamei's number.

The call was quickly answered, and Bai Huamei's soft, tingly, and heart-stirring, beautiful Older sister type voice came through.

"Hello, why did my good little brother think to call sister today?"

"Did you figure it out, and want to come home with sister to see that little kitten that can do backflips?"

"Let's talk business. Do you have any of those biochemical host bodies that are full of the five poisons?"

Jiang Che didn't waste any time; he went straight to the point.

"What the hell!"

"Good little brother... you haven't lost your mind, have you?"

"Don't do anything stupid! Senior Sister is still waiting for you to carry on the family line and hold a nephew!"

Bai Huamei's voice suddenly rose by several decibels, her tone filled with deep surprise and confusion.

"I'm doing it to set someone up, not for myself!"

Jiang Che was speechless. How could this woman's thought process be so bizarre?

He, the dignified Eldest Young Master of the Jiang Family, was upright and proper, with red blood in his veins; how much of an idiot would he have to be to look for such a woman full of the five poisons?

"Oh, I see..."

"I have them, I have them. How many do you want?"

"Get me two for now. I'll contact you later to arrange it. Remember, I want the kind that is full of the five poisons!"

After giving his instructions, Jiang Che hung up the phone without hesitation.

Bai Huamei, this woman, had a heart as black as pitch. That she kept dozens of sword masters under her and raised biochemical host bodies did not surprise Jiang Che in the slightest.

This Female Protagonist of the underworld had plenty of devious tricks up her sleeve. She definitely kept these women to target and retaliate against some of her enemies; she was black-bellied, cunning, and extremely treacherous.

"Lin Tian, get ready to welcome the big gift I have prepared for you."

"Hehehe!"

Eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were just coming on, and the neon lights were flickering.

The midsummer night was always exceptionally charming; the evening breeze blew gently, soothing people's hearts that were restless due to the heat.

"Mommy, I'll be home in a little while, hehe..."

"Yes, I just left school and am about to reach the subway station..."

"That's it, hanging up now, Mommy."

"Hehe... Mommy made braised pork, I have to hurry home!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuewei stuck out her little tongue to lick her lips, swallowed with some difficulty, and was quite expectant.

Although she didn't want to admit it in her heart, Chen Xuewei knew that she was indeed a total foodie...

Braised pork, sweet and sour fish, soup dumplings, cream puffs...

There were so many delicious foods, she loved them all!

Putting her phone into her pocket, Chen Xuewei carried her little handbag, hummed a little tune, and walked briskly toward the subway station.

When passing by a deserted alley, six youths with dyed yellow hair suddenly jumped out and blocked Chen Xuewei's path.

"Yo, little sister, all by yourself?"

"Hehehe... you look so pretty!"

"Why don't you come and have a drink with us brothers?"

The yellow-haired youths had lecherous expressions and evil smiles, rubbing their hands together as they closed in on Chen Xuewei step by step.
