NOVEL NEXT Chapter 300 Robbery
The person was none other than Chen Xuliang, who had been following them. Before coming, after confirming Zhang Xinxin's room location, he deliberately made a lot of preparations before knocking on the door.
At this moment, the tomato sauce on his knife and the large box beside him were all results of his preparations, meant to intimidate the others.
Although he was a gambling addict, he wasn't stupid—in fact, he had a bit of cunning.
After tailing Zhang Xinxin and the two others all the way, he determined that these three were no threat to him before deciding to take action.
Both Zhang Xinxin and Lili were slender, appearing to weigh around a hundred pounds each. If it came to a fight, no man would lose to them.
And the sole male among them, Da Xuan, initially made Chen Xuliang a bit wary, but upon discovering that he was even more effeminate than a woman, he was completely reassured.
However, even though these three looked as if they couldn't hurt a fly, Chen Xuliang was still afraid of any unforeseen situations. That's why he deliberately bought a fruit knife and tomato sauce to prepare, aiming to first scare them.
He understood the rich people in Celestial Sea City. Unlike himself, who would rather have money than life, these people would rather keep their lives than money.
They would rather give money, fearing for their own safety.
So Chen Xuliang felt that as long as he truly scared them, he would definitely get something valuable from them, especially after hearing that one of their bags was worth tens of thousands, he became more certain that these three were full of profit.
Of course, he also had a plan for failure.
If these three refused to give money and resisted instead, he wouldn't mind actually using force.
Faced with these three, Chen Xuliang held the knife confidently, believing he could overpower them.
Chen Xuliang, although skinny, was lean and strong, having done farm work at home and manual labor outside.
Even without the knife, Chen Xuliang wouldn't fear these three.
This was also why he dared to attempt robbery.
"Stay still, don't scream, and don't even think about calling!"
Chen Xuliang showed a sinister, vicious look, releasing all the suppression and resentment from recent days in this moment.
Especially when he saw the terrified expressions of the three, he felt a bit of excitement and a sense of achievement.
Having been looked down upon before, now feeling the fearful gaze of others, he suddenly experienced the pleasure and confidence that violence and ruthlessness brought him.
At this moment, Zhang Xinxin and the other two were indeed frightened by the sudden situation before them.
For them, who had never encountered a villain before, a barking large dog on the street was the greatest danger they had ever seen. They had never encountered a scene like this.
With a timid personality, the scared Lili was the first to have her legs go weak, her face turning pale as she collapsed on the ground without saying a word.
As for Da Xuan, the only male, his pupils contracted, feeling extremely tense. Although he didn't collapse on the ground like Lili, he was motionless as if paralyzed by fear.
In contrast, although Zhang Xinxin was nervous, she managed to maintain a sliver of composure. Staring at the intruder with an unpleasant expression, she forced herself to speak:
"Don't do anything rash. Whatever you want, we can give it to you."
"Money! I want money! Give me all your cash!"
Seeing the three were even more timid than he anticipated, Chen Xuliang felt settled inside, becoming increasingly confident and arrogant.
He glanced coldly at the phones on the table, speaking again, "And your phones, all three of your phones, throw them to me!"
Saying this, he immediately added, pointing the knife at Zhang Xinxin, "Only you move. If anyone else moves, I'll stab you all to death!
I already killed someone just now, don't think I won't do it. This box is just for storing your bodies!"
Hearing this, Lili grew even more terrified, curling up on the floor, shivering.
Da Xuan also looked pale, glancing at Zhang Xinxin with eyes full of tension and fear.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinxin knew she had to step forward, collect the phones from the three of them, and crouched down to place them at the intruder's feet.
Chen Xuliang glanced at the phones dropped at his feet, finally allowing a slight smile to form on his lips.
He pointed the knife at the three while cautiously bending down to quickly stuff the phones into his backpack.
After completing all of this, he demanded again with a shout, "Where is the money?! The cash?!"
"Th-the cash is just this..."
Zhang Xinxin pulled out a few hundred bills, saying with difficulty, "We don't have much cash, all our money is in the cards..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuliang's expression changed slightly, then he gritted his teeth, saying, "Give me this first!"
Saying so, his eyes darted around, scanning the surroundings, and he spoke coldly, "Valuables! I want valuable items, give me all!"
"This..."
Zhang Xinxin looked troubled. Indeed, she had many valuable luxury items, but she didn't want to give them away. Not only because they were expensive, but also because they were gifts from Li Jing.
Zhang Xinxin understood she couldn't possibly be the only woman for Li Jing, nor even rank in his top two in his eyes.
Therefore, the things Li Jing gave her became her most important mental support during this period.
"Hurry up! I don't have time to waste with you!!"
Seeing Zhang Xinxin not moving, Chen Xuliang grew furious, immediately picking up a nearby flowerpot and smashing it to the ground.
With a loud crashing noise, the flowerpot shattered, pieces scattering everywhere.
Lili screamed in fright, hugging her head and shrinking into a corner.
Da Xuan also shuddered all over, accumulating more and more fear.
Even Zhang Xinxin was startled by the sudden move, hesitating no more, she could only grit her teeth and bring out the bags and jewelry bought by Li Jing.
"Are these things valuable?!"
Looking at the items she carefully placed on the ground, Chen Xuliang couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical.
