Chapter 519 Psychology
Four men jumped out of the pickup truck. They were tall, burly, and wore sinister smiles.
With a bang, the leader, who had a buzz cut, yanked open the van door and said, "We don't want to hurt anyone. Just hand over your valuables, and we'll let you go in peace."
"If you dare resist, let me tell you, right here, roll your bodies down the mountain, and they'll be devoured by those hungry wolves in an instant. No one will ever find you. So, please don't be foolish."
Li Gang, who was in the van, saw the four men and said indignantly, "Damn it, what rotten luck to run into you scum."
"Don't think I'm scared just because you have a dagger. Let me tell you, I've been properly trained. I'm a martial artist. I'm here with my junior sister specifically to deal with trash like you."
Li Gang then turned to Zhou Shanshan and said, "Junior Sister, don't worry. Just leave these hoodlums to me. I'll protect you."
After speaking, Li Gang kicked the buzz-cut man on the left side of the van. With a bang, the buzz-cut man was sent flying to the ground, tumbling several times. Blood immediately appeared on his face.
Li Gang jumped out of the van and said smugly, "Come on, I was just looking for a chance to stretch my legs. Let me show you the power of me, the young master of the Li family."
Zhou Shanshan was very worried about him and quickly said to Li Gang, "Senior Brother, please don't push yourself. They're all armed!"
Li Gang immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. Protecting you is my duty, hehehe..."
Li Gang was very pleased at this moment, clearly enjoying the opportunity to make Zhou Shanshan feel grateful to him.
Chen Yang, sitting in the back seat, glanced at these men and immediately understood. These people were clearly in cahoots with the van driver.
The van driver was picking up passengers at the train station. They weren't really trying to earn fare money, but rather to find rich targets and lure them to this deserted stretch of road.
The unlicensed driver would pretend to have car trouble and then slip away, thus distancing himself from the crime.
Even if they were caught later, it would have nothing to do with him. After the driver left, other robbers would come forward to loot their valuables.
Chen Yang sighed. It was really troublesome to go to Qingshui Village. By this time, Li Gang had already adopted a stance. It was evident that he had indeed practiced martial arts.
However, his skill level was truly mediocre. His stance was unstable, and his movements were flashy. Clearly, the masters who taught Li Gang were reputable, but they also knew that Li Gang was just a rich second-generation heir who wouldn't put in the hard work to train.
Therefore, they only taught him some flashy moves.
With such skill, he dared to call himself a martial artist. Chen Yang couldn't help but shake his head in dismay.
At this moment, the four robbers were starting to panic. They cautiously surrounded Li Gang, brandishing their weapons.
The buzz-cut leader swallowed and said to Li Gang, "Brother, we're only here to rob you. Why are you fighting so hard? Isn't it better to hand over some money and buy your life? Why do you have to confront us like this?"
Li Gang laughed arrogantly, "Confront you? Are you worthy? Let me tell you, my old man spent three hundred million to hire the fifteen most famous martial artists in the country and secretly trained me for fifteen years. Do I, a martial arts prodigy, need to confront you? Do I need to exchange lives with you? Why don't you kneel down and apologize to my goddess?"
The buzz-cut leader's face turned pale upon hearing this. He was indeed intimidated by Li Gang. However, a tall man behind him became impatient. He grabbed a steel pipe and charged at Li Gang, swinging it down.
Li Gang saw this and instinctively raised his arm to block the steel pipe. After all, during past sparring sessions, if his master had used this move, he would have blocked it with his arm.
The next moment, the steel pipe landed on Li Gang's arm with a bang. Li Gang's arm instantly swelled. With a yelp, Li Gang cried out in pain, clutching his arm and roaring angrily, "You... you're using this much force? You're killing me, ah..."
Li Gang stomped his feet and shouted in terror. At this moment, the buzz-cut leader finally reacted. He laughed heartily and said, "Holy crap, so he's just a pretty boy. Brothers, let's go."
Then, the four of them rushed forward and pounded on Li Gang with a series of bangs and clangs. Half a minute later, Li Gang was curled up on the road, crying and sobbing.
He never expected that all the money he spent and all the moves he learned from so many famous masters couldn't even defeat four street thugs.
The buzz-cut leader and his three companions burst into laughter. The buzz-cut leader walked towards the van and said, "Originally, we, the Fantastic Four, just wanted to rob you of your money. But this idiot in your car just angered us. Now, it's not just about robbing you of your money."
Then, the buzz-cut leader's eyes fell on Zhou Shanshan. He chuckled, licked his lips, and said, "So, because of that idiot on the ground, we want to take the opportunity to rob you of your virtue as well, to compensate for the labor our brothers just put in, hahahaha..."
The three men behind the buzz-cut leader's eyes lit up. They exclaimed, "Boss, really? Are we really going to have some fun this time?"
"Ah, Boss, you're truly brilliant. I took a liking to this girl the moment I saw her. Don't let her short hair fool you, she's really beautiful!"
"If this kind of girl grew her hair out, I'm telling you, she'd be a star on TV. We're really lucky today."
"These people in the car can be squeezed for a lot of oil and water, and we can even get a warm bed to sleep in, hahahaha..."
The Fantastic Four burst into laughter. The buzz-cut leader chuckled and crawled into the van. Looking at Zhou Shanshan with a triumphant grin and revealing his yellow teeth, he said, "Big sister, don't be afraid. Just cooperate with us obediently, and we won't hurt you."
Zhou Shanshan looked panicked. She immediately took out her bag and said, "Big brother, all my money is in here. It's all yours. If you think it's not enough, I can transfer more to you later."
"But please, be merciful. We absolutely won't report you for robbing us this time. But if you violate me, you will definitely be caught. Think about it calmly."
"One of you can safely take millions and enjoy life, while the other spends their entire life in prison for a moment of pleasure. Comparing these two choices, which path would you choose? Isn't it very clear?"
The buzz-cut leader was stunned. He looked at Zhou Shanshan doubtfully and muttered, "Beauty, you're quite something. Your few words have completely changed my thinking."
"But you're too beautiful. Even if my brothers won't do anything to you, we have to touch you a little to vent our anger from earlier."
At this moment, Li Gang, who was lying on the road, was curled up on the ground, not daring to move. Hearing that Zhou Shanshan was in danger, he didn't dare to intervene.
At this moment, he realized that his identity as the young master of the Li family and the martial arts he had learned for so many years were completely useless in this desolate wilderness.
