Xiang Kun wasn't worried at all about the possibility of retaliation from the tall, thin man.
Although Shiling's Mother mentioned that the person owned a bar in the city, such people usually have connections with all sorts of people and the gray areas, and have many connections.
However, he didn't think the other party had any major criminal gangs behind them. In this era, in a big city like the one he was in, there was no room for violent gangs to survive.
Of course, if there was an opportunity, he wouldn't mind helping Officer Chen get another commendation.
The reason he reported to Officer Chen on WeChat was to take precautions in case Officer Chen did anything in the future.
In his view, if he were still working and had a company, the tall, thin man might still use some disgusting tricks on him, like he had threatened to cause trouble at the kindergarten where Liu Shiling Shiling's Mother, just like before.
But now, he's just an unemployed, stay-at-home bachelor. What can they possibly do?
Most likely, they'll find a few people to lie in wait for him outside the residential area, then intimidate him, or secretly cover his face with a sack and beat him up.
However, with Xiang Kun's current superhuman sensory abilities, his ingrained habit of subconsciously observing his surroundings, and his brain's information processing capabilities, virtually no one can ambush or attack him.
Unless you're using a sniper rifle from a great distance?
If they really had that ability, they wouldn't be ashamed to take a bullet for themselves...
He'd be even less afraid if you confronted him openly and honestly.
With his current physical condition, strength, speed, and reaction time, two or three people really can't do anything to him. If there are many people or the other party is armed, then if he wants to run, the other party definitely can't stop him.
Then he immediately dialed 110 (the police emergency number). There's a nationwide crackdown on organized crime right now, and he had already informed Officer Chen beforehand, so he wasn't worried about the police not taking it seriously.
Xiang Kun was surprised that his judgment was actually quite accurate. The next afternoon, he planned to go to a rabbit farm in a certain town to buy rabbits and visit it. However, he had only gone a short distance from his residential area when he was waiting for a ride-hailing car and was surrounded by eight young men. He didn't know how long they had been squatting outside.
In fact, Xiang Kun Kunyi spotted them before he even left the residential area. If he wanted, he could have turned back and left in another direction before they spotted him.
However, he didn't do that; he walked out of the residential area openly, deliberately letting them see him.
Although he wasn't afraid of these people himself, it would be troublesome if they suddenly appeared when he was with other people, such as Chang Bin and Tang Baona.
So since that tall, thin man couldn't wait and came to ambush him today, he was happy to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Six people, including the tall, thin man, surrounded Xiang Kun by the wall of the residential compound. Two others turned away, giving threatening and warning looks to curious passersby.
Judging by his posture... he seems quite skilled at this kind of work?
Surrounded by the wall, Xiang Kun found himself inexplicably wanting to laugh.
It's quite poignant to think about it now. If it were a month or so ago, he would have given in immediately in this situation.
However, if it were the Xiang Kun of the past, he would basically not have gotten himself into this mess.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Kun asked the tall, thin man casually.
The tall, thin man was taken aback; the bald man's reaction was different from what he had expected...
Yesterday, at the request of his distant cousin, he brought a group of people to cause trouble in room 706. However, due to some unexpected events, they were beaten up by the bald neighbor from room 708.
And in such a humiliating way, an adult being pinned to the ground and spanked?
This was the first time he had ever realized that getting a spanking could hurt so much.
Damn it, he even thought his tailbone was broken...
But compared to the pain, he felt he had lost more face!
Those three middle-aged women from yesterday weren't just random helpers; they were real relatives from our hometown!
Although they publicly stated that they wouldn't talk about what happened yesterday, he knew these people too well; it wouldn't be long before it spread in private!
This is so damn frustrating.
So he actually asked around about the bald guy in 708 last night, and sent people to keep watch outside the community early this morning, trying to find a way to get revenge!
He knew that the bald man was very strong, so he specially found a few more people, including some from the Sanda team of a sports school.
He had anticipated many scenarios: the bald man might attack him directly, turn and run, give up if he couldn't escape, or ask the security guard at the entrance of the residential area for help. But he never expected it to be like this.
Why is this bald guy so calm?
"You..." The tall, thin man opened his mouth, but seemed unsure of what to say. He felt like he wanted to punch someone, but he also felt like he had something stuck in his throat and needed to say something.
The tall, thin man took a deep breath and finally gritted his teeth, saying, "Do you fucking know who I am? You dared to touch me yesterday?"
"I don't care who you are. You scared a kid with a knife, so shouldn't I spank you a few times? And you think you're being wronged?" Xiang Kun said, looking at him.
Among the people surrounding Xiang Kun, a chestnut-haired boy with an earring in his right ear, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, suddenly pulled a switchblade from his pocket, snapped the blade open, and approached Xiang Kun's waist and abdomen. Tilting his head, he glared at him fiercely. "You dare touch Brother Dong? How come you're so arrogant? Hmm? Do you want to die? Should I make a hole in your stomach to help you breathe?"
Xiang Kun met the gaze of the boy with the earring, stared at him for a second, then took a step forward with the switchblade pressed against his waist and abdomen. He paused for a second, then took another step forward.
With each step he took, the boy took a step back.
At first, the boy's fierce, wolf-like eyes became somewhat confused, then panicked, then tense, and then he no longer dared to make eye contact with Xiang Kun, even lowering his head.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Xiang Kun's voice remained calm.
But in reality, he was highly focused and his senses were working at their peak, keeping a close eye on the boy with the earring in front of him and the people surrounding him.
As soon as the boy with the earring shows any sign of making a move, he can instantly dodge or control the other's wrist, at most only puncturing a little skin; his reaction speed is a level faster than the other's.
He was also prepared to deal with the situation where several people rushed at him at once.
What puzzled him was that although the people around him were beating their hearts faster and seemed to have suddenly become tense, they didn't make a move.
What puzzled him even more was that the earring-wearing boy in front of him, holding a switchblade, had muscles so tense that they were even starting to tremble, his heart was beating extremely fast, his breathing was almost stopped, the smell emanating from his body was also starting to change, and cold sweat was beginning to appear on his forehead.
He even suspected that if this state continued for another half minute, the boy with the earring might suddenly suffer heart failure and die.
Xiang Kun stopped staring at him, turned his gaze away, and walked away from the boy.
As soon as he walked away, an older man snatched the switchblade from the earring-wearing boy's hand, slapped him on the back of the head, and cursed, "Who the hell told you to take a knife out...?"
Seeing Xiang Kun looking over, the tall, thin man felt his throat go dry. He blinked and subconsciously asked, "Brother... what are you from?"
The boy with the earring flashed a knife, which startled him, but Xiang Kun's behavior terrified him even more.
If yesterday he only thought this bald man had some brute strength, those ten seconds just now made him clearly realize that this bald man was definitely not an ordinary person.
