Chapter 298
"Fucking hell! Treating us like beggars."
Seeing the bits and bobs in Ye Tian’s hands, the one with the swagger stick wrapped his arm around Ye Tian, trapping him under his armpit, and quickly led him down a secluded alley. The white-curled old lady suddenly became much more spry and scampered after the group, unafraid of slipping on the snow-covered ground.
Ye Tian was shoved into a dead-end alley, blocked by four sturdy youths and an elderly woman in the middle.
Professional, aren’t they?
Broad daylight and clear skies, and this shit is happening right under the fucking Emperor’s nose!
Dealing with a few scamming hooligans is nothing, but sadly, the old lady not only didn’t get any money, her IC card was snatched away too. Luckily, the buzz-cut guy didn’t seem too interested in the cash.
As he was about to leave, Ye Tian glimpsed a gold chain. He yanked it down with his hand, squeezed it - fuck! Just as I thought. And it’s plastic too, not even ashamed of looking like an idiot!
Taking a turn, the alley’s entrance was blocked with piles of snow, swept there by the nearby residents. The trees by the roadside were only five meters or so away, but nobody was willing to sweep the snow into the tree pits. Ye Tian bet even if it was just a meter more, they wouldn’t bother pushing the snow into the pits.
His mood, just on the upswing, was ruined by the sudden appearance of some hooligans, causing a surge of frustration in Ye Tian.
"Nobody hurt, right?"
