Chapter 23: The Shady Shop
Tianyu Mall, with the customer as its purpose, meaning the customer is the god of Tianyu Mall. But now someone is being dragged out like a dead dog by the mall's security, and not only that, the person being dragged is entirely bruised, clearly having suffered a brutal beating.
Xiao Tianyu couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward to stop it, but the security guard arrogantly threatened him, Xiao Tianyu, using the influence of Qingcheng International to back him up, telling Xiao Tianyu to get lost.
At this moment, Lin Ke'Er, who was eating lamb skewers, noticed this scene, then walked over in high heels, grabbed Xiao Tianyu's arm and whispered, "You're brave enough to interfere even with Qingcheng International, do you have a death wish?"
Uh~
Xiao Tianyu was stunned, but didn't speak. Lin Ke'Er stood in front of him, smiled apologetically at the two security guards, and said, "It's a misunderstanding, really! My friend here isn't quite right in the head!"
After speaking, Lin Ke'Er pointed at her own head, clearly implying Xiao Tianyu's mind was not functioning correctly.
Upon hearing this, the two security guards sized up Lin Ke'Er's attractive figure and their anger faded slightly, smiling, "No wonder, turns out it's a nutcase. Hurry up, get this nutcase out of here, the Psychiatric Hospital isn't on holiday today!"
"Yes, yes~" Lin Ke'Er nodded repeatedly, then turned her pretty eyes, giving Xiao Tianyu a sidelong glance and a smug smile, "Good thing I'm quick-thinking, or you'd be carried out. How will you thank me later?"
However, before her words fell, Lin Ke'Er stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. Xiao Tianyu pulled her aside and walked leisurely toward the two security guards, leaving Lin Ke'Er bewildered. Is this idiot going to fight head-on? Doesn't he understand human words? Does he know what Qingcheng International is, a place not to be offended by either side, black or white? This idiot is stubborn, isn't this asking for death?
Huh?
The two security guards were also stunned, it seems this guy's illness is quite severe.
"Let him go!" Xiao Tianyu's deep gaze stared at the security guard, as if commanding. One of the older security guards sneered, "Not going to the Psychiatric Hospital, causing trouble here, even if you're a nutcase..."
Slap~
Before the security guard could finish speaking, suddenly, Xiao Tianyu slapped the security guard's face, instantly leaving him dazed, not even seeing how Xiao Tianyu struck, simply being inexplicably slapped hard.
The relatively young security guard paused for a moment. Is this...is this a nutcase? Would a nutcase strike so deftly? Who are you trying to fool? A ghost? Clearly here to cause trouble.
Gulp~
Seeing this scene, Lin Ke'Er behind Xiao Tianyu swallowed hard, startled, showing a dazed look. Did this...did this bastard really hit the security guards of Tianyu Mall?
"Bastard!" The security guard who was hit was furious, raised the electric baton in hand, aiming to smash it on Xiao Tianyu's head. Lin Ke'Er panicked, stepped forward with a laugh, "Security brother, it's a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding. He really has something wrong there?"
Misunderstanding, something really wrong there?
This woman is treating me like a child to toy with? Something wrong there, and yet striking so decisively?
"If you don't scram, do you believe I'll beat you too?"
The older security guard showed a hideous expression, scaring Lin Ke'Er into stumbling, hiding behind Xiao Tianyu, clinging to his waist, and Xiao Tianyu could even clearly feel the softness from Lin Ke'Er's chest.
Xiao Tianyu was internally speechless.
Buzz~
At this moment, a fierce wind whistled, Lin Ke'Er saw the security guard's electric baton smashing toward Xiao Tianyu's head, instantly shouting in terror, "Oh my god, someone's gonna die!"
Someone's going to die, but not Xiao Tianyu.
At the instant the security guard's electric baton smashed down, suddenly, Xiao Tianyu's right hand clasped the opponent's wrist, rendering the opponent's strength useless.
Clang~
The electric baton fell to the ground, causing the security guard to grimace painfully.
Crunch~
The next second, the security guard's right hand was wrenched off by Xiao Tianyu, suddenly a pig-like shriek echoed.
Xiao Tianyu released his hand and the security guard immediately fell to the ground, rolling around, wailing and screeching, causing the younger security guard to swallow hard, dumbfounded.
At this moment, even Lin Ke'Er hiding behind Xiao Tianyu was bewildered. Is this...is this bastard so formidable, like a martial arts master from Jin Yong's novels?
Whoa, a typical explosive male god, unbearable.
Soon, Lin Ke'Er showed an obsessed look, even if Bruce Lee was reincarnated, he wouldn't be so badass.
"Let your manager come see me!" A cold voice came from Xiao Tianyu's mouth, as though from hell, chilling to the bone.
This was a command, not a request; he was commanding Tianyu Mall's general manager to meet him.
The younger security guard immediately ditched his electric baton and ran toward Tianyu Mall.
One word, cool.
Two words, really cool.
Three words, damn cool.
What's an explosive man? This is.
What's handsome? This is, even when speaking, it's freaking handsome.
Lin Ke'Er was completely captivated by Xiao Tianyu's cold yet insanely handsome appearance. If Xiao Tianyu asked her out now, she'd definitely spread her legs without saying no. Damn, being claimed by such a man, you'd probably wake up laughing from the dream.
But thinking carefully, Xiao Tianyu wanting to see Tianyu Mall's manager with just one word overwhelmed Lin Ke'Er's heart with doubt again. She couldn't help but ask, that Mr. Xiao, are you sure you won't get into trouble doing this? You let the manager come at your word, how are you so arrogant, do you think you're the president of Qingcheng International?
If you were the president, why would you go to Qingcheng International for a job interview?
"Let go, how long do you plan to hold me?" A faint voice came from Xiao Tianyu's mouth, causing Lin Ke'Er to pause, then she stuck her tongue out, "I was scared, alright. Who'd want to hold you, show-off!"
Actually, deep down, Lin Ke'Er wished she could drag Xiao Tianyu to a room immediately.
After Lin Ke'Er let go, Xiao Tianyu helped the battered person up and asked indifferently, "What happened!"
Upon hearing this, the person who was beaten and bruised started crying and narrating, "I bought an ultra-tech phone at Tianyu Mall, eighteen million. It was agreed to pay in three installments with no interest. But when repaying, I found out there's not no interest, but the interest is so high I can't accept it. So this afternoon, I came here to reason with them, but before I could, they locked me in a dark room, beating and kicking me..."
After the person's explanation, Xiao Tianyu understood the situation. It turned out that this person purchased through installments at Qingcheng International, paying in three stages to waive interest, but upon repayment, found the interest even exceeded the principal.
And now this scene is happening, demanding the debt be cleared within seven days and at double the original price.
Of course, Xiao Tianyu didn't doubt this person's words because no one dared to lie in Tianyu unless they thought their life was too long.
"Dark!"
"Truly a black shop!" After hearing the explanation from the beaten person, even Lin Ke'Er couldn't help but express indignation, while Xiao Tianyu showed a look of exasperation, Lin Ke'Er then said to Xiao Tianyu, "Why are you upset, I'm talking about Tianyu Mall being dark, not you, geez!"
