Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Call Him Over! (1st Update)
"Alright, you call your nephew over, and I’ll let you off the hook!" Lin Xi said. He was quite curious to meet these so-called high-ranking members of the Celestial Alliance and see what kind of characters they were.
After all, from the three encounters he’s had, his impression of the Celestial Alliance wasn’t very good.
The people around and Gu Xiaoxian’s expressions changed immediately upon hearing mention of the Celestial Alliance.
This organization may not have much interaction with the upper echelon, but is deeply intertwined with the lowest rung, which is why their faces changed drastically upon hearing it. Lin Xi confirmed again that the Celestial Alliance was no good.
He reached out to pat Gu Xiaoxian’s head, indicating to her not to worry, which eased her expression considerably. For some reason, she had a special trust in Lin Xi, probably because of their previous experiences.
However, she still looked quite worried, as the ways of the Celestial Alliance had recently spread throughout the civilian circles.
It could even be said that they were fear-inducing!
Lin Xi could handle Yan Yichen, but compared to the Celestial Alliance, Yan Yichen was merely a small fish.
Boss Wen was somewhat baffled by Lin Xi’s words, and after a moment, he found it amusing and said, "Did you hear wrong? It’s me letting you off the hook, not you letting me off!"
At the same time, he noticed the fearful expressions of the people around him, including Gu Xiaoxian, and further confirmed that this kid, who boasted big, had no background; otherwise, Gu Xiaoxian wouldn’t have such an expression.
Just as he was preparing to give Lin Xi one last chance, Lin Xi calmly replied, "You didn’t hear wrong!"
"You can call your nephew over; otherwise, I could also say that my nephew is the Celestial Alliance’s second-in-command." Lin Xi paused and continued, "So now, should you kneel and admit your mistake to me? And apologize?"
"..." Boss Wen was stunned. Were there actually people daring enough to impersonate someone from the Celestial Alliance? Wasn’t that courting death? Angrily, he said, "Are you so bent on courting death that you don’t know how to spell the word ’death’?"
"Since that’s the case, I’ll grant your wish!"
After saying this, he took out his phone from his bag and directly dialed a number.
"Hello, Hai Zi? Your uncle’s being bullied?"
"Yeah, just some clueless kid, his tone’s so big it almost blew up to the heavens!"
"I gave your name, but they don’t know you, and they said I’m lying!"
"Oh? Wait a second, I’ll find a quiet place." While saying this, he covered the phone with his hand and looked at Lin Xi, "If you got guts, don’t sneak away!"
After he stepped out, Lin Xi acted as if nothing happened and continued eating.
"Uh, maybe we should leave first?" Gu Xiaoxian advised. She overheard some of Boss Wen’s phone conversation, so she was feeling quite worried now.
Even some of the surrounding migrant workers kindly advised, "Young fella, you should listen to the girl and leave quickly!"
"Go ahead; we’re most familiar with those Celestial Alliance folks. Last time, a colleague couldn’t pay the protection fee on time; later, he did and still got his leg broken by them."
"Even if you call the police about this kind of thing, the police can only help temporarily. Once they’re gone, you’ll be in deeper trouble!"
Even the restaurant owner came over, "Young man, just take the immediate loss and move on; the Celestial Alliance is ruthless. Don’t act impulsively, it’s not worth it!"
"It’s fine," Lin Xi calmly replied, continuing to eat. Suddenly, his expression turned odd and he thought to himself, "This is really a coincidence!"
The migrant workers and the restaurant owner, seeing Lin Xi’s indifferent attitude, stopped saying more. With such matters, they point it out briefly; if others don’t listen, there’s nothing they can do, maybe just covertly report to the authorities later.
