Chapter 653: Chapter 0655: None of My Business
Before others could react to what had happened, Lin Zhao was already lying on the ground with a painful expression on his face, his arm obviously dislocated, not daring to move again, just clenching his teeth, rolling on the ground in pain.
"I most despise it when someone points at me with their finger. Didn’t your parents teach you that such behavior is impolite?" Chu Ge’s gaze was piercing as he looked at Lin Zhao on the ground, speaking coldly.
At this point, Lin Zhao only felt a wave of pain spreading throughout his body, not caring at all what Chu Ge was saying. He gritted his teeth and angrily said to the several people behind him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help me out! Break this bastard’s legs for me!"
Seeing their boss’s arm had been broken, his men were naturally infuriated and one by one picked up their weapons, ready to rush forward and fight to the death with Chu Ge.
The surrounding crowd were terrified now that a real fight had broken out, and among them, someone hastily took out their cell phone and dialed to report to the police.
In contrast to the panic amongst the crowd, Chu Ge remained indifferent, standing quietly there, with a detached expression on his face as he looked at the group in front of him. They were all about his age and had tattoos on their bodies.
"You’re all so young, do you want to end up like him, missing arms and legs?" Chu Ge spoke lightly.
The men looked at each other, and to be honest, although they followed Lin Zhao around in this area, they had never actually fought with anyone because when they joined Lin Zhao, his reputation here had already been established. Those who had previously followed Lin Zhao had all been locked up for causing trouble, only Lin Zhao himself had been bailed out due to his connections.
Somewhat hesitant, these men knew they didn’t have the same backing as Lin Zhao; if they caused any trouble, there would be no one to clean up after them.
Thinking this way, not a single one of them dared to step forward.
Chu Ge noticed their hesitation and spoke faintly, "Do you have the same background as him to ensure your safety after causing trouble?"
Chu Ge’s piercing gaze continued to fix on them, "Or do you think you’re too healthy and also want to end up with a broken arm like him?" noveldrama
Upon hearing the word "broken," the men were even more terrified to step forward. After exchanging looks with each other, one of them, not sure who, was the first to toss away their stick and then turned and ran away swiftly. Seeing this, the others also threw down their sticks and fled.
Lin Zhao sweated coldly from the pain. He frowned as he watched those people desert him, feeling both angry and anxious, "Those damn bastards!"
Lin Zhao couldn’t help but curse out loud. These people had been very respectful to him usually, but when it came to life-and-death matters, not one of them was reliable!
Chu Ge looked down disdainfully at Lin Zhao on the ground, walked slowly to him, squatted down, and then asked, "So, do you still want to collect protection money?"
Lin Zhao was smart enough to not confront Chu Ge head-on at this crucial moment. Although he still couldn’t understand how this man had managed to dislocate his arm, his intuition told him that this was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
Lin Zhao coughed lightly, then quickly put on an apologetic smile, which, due to the pain in his arm, looked uglier than crying, "Big brother, you’re my big brother, I was wrong. I won’t collect the protection money anymore, I won’t. Please, big brother, let me go."
Chu Ge saw that he seemed very sincere, so he decided not to pursue the matter further.
"Alright! From now on, don’t come to collect protection fees again, or let me see you collecting it from others. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as a dislocation."
After finishing his words, Chu Ge stood up.
Lin Zhao took a moment to gather his strength and followed suit, standing up slowly. One of his arms hung limply by his side, not daring to move. All he could do now was swallow down his anger!
Lin Zhao forced a smile, trying to ingratiate himself for a good while before leaving the scene in a wretched state.
Just as Lin Zhao left, a renovator hiding upstairs rushed down hurriedly. He looked at Chu Ge with a worried face and sighed, "Boss, Lin Zhao is a very vindictive meanie. The way you treated him, he will definitely not let it slide."
Chu Ge wasn’t concerned about Lin Zhao at all. He chuckled softly and said, "No worries. If they come again, it won’t be as simple as a dislocation."
The renovator thought Chu Ge was just bragging, as he didn’t witness from upstairs how Chu Ge had dislocated Lin Zhao’s arm. All he heard was a howl of pain and sneaked a few peeks from the stairwell, naturally not believing that Chu Ge could dislocate someone’s arm with such ease. He assumed it was just a fluke.
But now, seeing Chu Ge’s nonchalant demeanor, he didn’t feel it appropriate to say more. All he hoped for was that Lin Zhao wouldn’t trouble the boss in the ensuing days when the renovation of the house was nearly complete.
And the boss would not always be here to watch over things. If Lin Zhao came looking for trouble on a day when the boss was absent, it would be they who would suffer.
The renovator signaled to his apprentices to hurry up and get back to work with a wave of his hand.
Chu Ge really hadn’t taken Lin Zhao’s matter to heart. However, not five minutes after Lin Zhao left, he was back.
Accompanying him this time was a group of people, only this group had a bit of a different status.
Lin Zhao pointed fiercely at Chu Ge and said, "Officers, it was him! He’s the one who beat me up like this!"
The group that had arrived were the police who had been called by a well-intentioned person in the crowd earlier.
Lin Zhao had not gone far when he saw the police car coming this way. Since he often frequented the police station and was familiar with the folks there, seeing them arrive was like seeing a savior.
These officers had frequently accepted gifts from him in the past. Seeing someone had beaten up Lin Zhao upon arrival, they were also curious who had the guts to bully Lin Zhao to this extent.
Because usually, it was others who reported to the police, all complaints against Lin Zhao.
Yet today, as if the sun had risen from the west, it was Lin Zhao who had reported to the police.
The officer was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties. He scrutinized Chu Ge and then asked, "What exactly happened here?"
Chu Ge looked indifferent. He shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me."
He said it without a hint of embarrassment, as if lying was second nature to him.
Lin Zhao didn’t expect him to deny it outright and became so furious that he started stomping, pointing at Chu Ge and cursing loudly, "Bullshit! How can it have nothing to do with you? So many people saw it here, do you still want to deny it?"
Chu Ge simply shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "Whether I did it or not, Officer, you can go ask around."
