735: Chapter 736 No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

735 -736 No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

“Alright, I’ll be careful,” Gao Xiaolong nodded, his mind harboring different thoughts.

Now that Yuan Zhibang and the red-haired guy were at odds, even if there were trouble, the red-haired guy would only seek out Yuan Zhibang, not him.

At this thought, Gao Xiaolong actually felt somewhat relieved.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going first,” Gao Xiaolong hurriedly said, standing up to leave.

He didn’t want to have too much contact with Yuan Zhibang; He feared that if the red-haired guy saw him as a friend of Yuan Zhibang’s, he might just get dragged into the mess as well.

Yuan Zhibang could never have imagined that his good deed of saving Gao Xiaolong would be rewarded with such ingratitude.

Therefore, sometimes, it’s really not worth pitying the weak.

And those who are pitiable may truly have detestable aspects.

Many people often say that the rich are heartless and look down on others, forgetting those they knew when they come into money.

But what’s not known is that some rich people become cold-hearted precisely because they’ve had enough of the demands of the weak.

They kindly lend money to friends, who then don’t repay, thinking that since you’re so wealthy, a little money doesn’t mean much to you, but it does to me.

Since we’re friends, why can’t you just give it to me?

Weakness is reasoned, and this is also a major flaw of human nature.

Just like now, Yuan Zhibang saved Gao Xiaolong out of good will, but instead of gratitude, he was repaid with betrayal.

“This kid, he’s no good!” At this point, Fatty walked over with a cold expression.

Having been in the Mafia for many years, he had seen all manner of characters and could tell right away that Gao Xiaolong was no good.

“Agreed!” Dazhuang followed, also feeling Gao Xiaolong was untrustworthy as his demeanor was too indifferent.

“Forget it, it’s just this once.

There won’t be a second time,” Yuan Zhibang said with a bitter smile.

“Now we need to think about how to deal with that red-haired guy.

I can tell he’s not going to let it go,” Yuan Zhibang said.

“I’ll call my boss right now,” Fatty said, picking up his phone to make the call.

“Little Fat, how come you’ve got time to call me?” A husky male voice came from the other end.

“Boss, I’ve run into some trouble at school, and someone wants to beat me up,” Fatty explained.

“Oh?

Who did you mess with?”

“Some guy called Brother Tian,” Fatty answered.

“What?” The man on the other end grew tense immediately: “How did you get into it with Brother Tian?”

Fatty, noticing the unusual reaction from his boss, recounted the entire incident.

“Foolish!

You’re so foolish!

Why on earth did you stir up this trouble?

Even I wouldn’t dare to mess with Brother Tian, and you went ahead and hit his lackey?” Fatty’s boss berated him angrily.

Fatty’s brow furrowed, and he muttered, “So what now?”

He understood the gravity of the situation; if even his boss didn’t dare to offend someone, then they were certainly in no position to do so.

If his boss were to wash his hands of the matter, they would be in serious trouble, for the red-haired man would not let them off easily.

“I will plead with Brother Tian for you, but I can’t help your two friends,” Fatty’s boss said coldly; he wasn’t willing to waste his efforts on two strangers.

“But they’re my brothers,” Fatty quickly said, still valuing loyalty and unwilling to abandon his friends.

“Brothers?

Talking about brothers in times like these?

You can’t even save yourself, let alone them.

Listen to me, let them fend for themselves!” Fatty’s boss scoffed.

“But Boss, that’s not what you taught me before.

You said to be brothers is to show loyalty,” Fatty was stunned.

Were these really his boss’s words?

His boss had always told him that if a brother is in trouble, one should be willing to take a knife for him, and now he was being told to abandon them?

“That was in the past; times have changed now.”

Fatty was dumbfounded and then anger crossed his face, “Times have changed?

I think it’s you who’ve changed!

Back when we started out, you spoke so highly of brotherhood, saying it was like life and limb.

Now I’ve helped you carve out a territory, and you’re riding high and dry, not caring whether your brothers live or die?

If you can do such a thing, I bloody well can’t!”

“How dare you speak to me like that?

Do you still see me as your boss?” Fatty’s boss was livid, shouting back.

“Boss?

You’ve discarded all sense of honor, and you still expect me to acknowledge you as my boss?” Fatty sneered.

“Fine, fine, you’ve got guts, so go deal with Brother Tian yourself.

I want to see just how brave you are!” The man on the other end said venomously and then hung up the call abruptly.

“Damn bastard!” Fatty roared in fury upon hearing this.

Yuan Zhibang and Dazhuang exchanged glances at Fatty’s reaction, understanding the situation.

They couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“What do we do now?” Yuan Zhibang asked somewhat helplessly.

Since Fatty’s boss was unwilling to help, they could only rely on themselves now.

“Didn’t you say your brother-in-law is really powerful, that both the underworld and the legitimate world have to look at his face?

Why not seek help from your brother-in-law?” Dazhuang asked Yuan Zhibang.

Yuan Zhibang became hesitant, saying, “That’s true, but I don’t want to trouble him.

After all, he’s just having some ambiguous relationship with my sister, and I don’t even know if he’s going to be my brother-in-law or not.

I’m worried that if I rashly go to him for help, he might look down on my sister.”

If I keep asking Hao Jian for help with everything, I’m afraid he’d also start feeling put out.

He also understood that an important figure like Hao Jian must be managing a multitude of things every day, and getting him involved in these petty matters would seem somewhat inappropriate.

If Hao Jian knew what Yuan Zhibang was thinking right now, he would probably laugh until he cried.

Managing a multitude of things?

He was actually quite idle at the moment!

Hearing this, both Fatty and Dazhuang fell silent.

They knew what Yuan Zhibang was concerned about and could understand his feelings.

“If it doesn’t work, we just hide from them.

As long as they can’t find us, they can’t do anything to us, right?” Fatty said, implying that if they couldn’t confront their adversaries, they should just hide.

“Zhibang!” Just then, a female voice came from not far away.

Wearing frog-eye glasses and dressed in a trendy fashion, Yuan Shanshan approached.

“Don’t talk nonsense later on!” Yuan Zhibang reminded Fatty and the other guy.

“Got it,” both of them nodded in agreement.

“Why do you all look so grim?

What happened?” Yuan Shanshan had just arrived to find Yuan Zhibang and the others looking rather gloomy and anxious.

“It’s nothing, Sister.

What are you doing here?

Don’t you have work today?” Yuan Zhibang deflected.

“I took the day off today, so I thought I’d take you out for lunch.

Are you done with class?” Yuan Shanshan asked.

“I still have two classes in the afternoon.

How about you go back first?” Yuan Zhibang replied with a wry smile.

He didn’t want Yuan Shanshan to wait there, to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

He knew that if his sister found out he was about to get beaten up, she would definitely call Hao Jian.

“No need, I’ll just wait for you at the school gate.

I’m free this afternoon anyway,” Yuan Shanshan shook her head.

“Ah, this…” Yuan Zhibang hesitated.

“What’s the matter?

Are you hiding something from me?” Yuan Shanshan was also clever.

From Yuan Zhibang’s subtle expressions, she sensed something was amiss.

“No, how could I hide anything from you?

You’re overthinking it,” Yuan Zhibang quickly gave a forced laugh, with guilt written all over his face.

“Alright then, I’ll wait for you guys here at the school gate, and both of you should come too,” Yuan Shanshan said, turning to speak to Fatty and Dazhuang.

Dazhuang and Fatty could only give a bitter smile, unsure of how to respond to Yuan Shanshan.

Yuan Zhibang sighed helplessly and said, “Alright then, you wait here, we’ll come out after class.”

He knew he couldn’t persuade Yuan Shanshan, so he had to let her wait outside.

Immediately after, Yuan Zhibang and the others walked towards the school gate in dejection.

“All secretive, what are you all up to?” Yuan Shanshan couldn’t help but frown, feeling that Yuan Zhibang’s attitude was odd.

Then she walked over to some bystanders who were still looking on.

After asking them, she immediately knew the whole story.

These bystanders had witnessed the entire incident just now and had heard the threats made by the man with red hair to Yuan Zhibang and the others.

And after hearing from the bystanders, shock filled Yuan Shanshan’s face—her brother had gotten involved with the Mafia?

This wasn’t a trivial matter; those Mafia members were known to kill without batting an eye.

Thinking this, Yuan Shanshan became flustered and anxious and, after a moment’s hesitation, still picked up her phone to call.

Because she knew that now, only that person could save her brother.

At that moment, Hao Jian was massaging Shu Ya when his phone started ringing.

Both Hao Jian and Shu Ya noticed the caller ID.

“Busy with business, I see,” Shu Ya said in a sarcastic tone, obviously displeased with Yuan Shanshan’s call to Hao Jian.

“Don’t misunderstand, she and I are just friends,” Hao Jian quickly explained, fearful of any misunderstanding by Shu Ya.

“I didn’t say anything, so how do you know I misunderstood?” Shu Ya retorted with a cold laugh, thinking that Hao Jian was guilty as charged.

“Then I won’t answer it.”

“Take the call, what if she really does have an emergency?” Shu Ya said calmly, resuming her work and paying him no more attention.

Hao Jian gave a wry smile and then picked up the phone again……………
