Chapter 699 - 642: Closing In
Hearing the shouting outside, Shang Geyong was the first to get excited.
His body was bound from head to toe like a maggot. Using the words from old storytelling scripts, being tied up this tightly for too long, a person wouldn’t die but would certainly end up crippled.
Shang Geyong strenuously wriggled his body, trying to bounce a couple of times to make some noise, a skill he had practiced for days.
Chen Wanjia, however, calmly got up, casually picked up his hammer, weighed it in his hand, and looked at Shang Geyong.
A cold sweat poured down from his head in an instant.
Shang Geyong couldn’t help thinking, wasn’t this how he had ended up in this mess?
Alone and facing Chen Wanjia without so much as a weapon in his hand, and without a strategy in mind, he had been quickly subdued by Chen Wanjia and pinned to the ground. Shang Geyong could still recall the iron-like grip of Chen Wanjia’s hands, a strength he had never felt amid the countless pleasantries exchanged during his social mingling.
An electric meter reader wouldn’t likely possess much strength, and most importantly, when had the average city dweller ever thought about engaging in hand-to-hand combat?
No one was prepared to suddenly enter a gladiatorial arena.
But Chen Wanjia alone was like a wild beast, watching the door frame intently.
