Chapter 122 The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry
He instinctively pushed the silver Su Zhen offered back, waving his hands repeatedly and saying:
“We can’t do this! The Su Li you mentioned is a famous young lady at the docks. She’s very popular there and has a close relationship with Manager Yu.”
"If we touch her, we won't be able to get along in this area anymore. You'd better find someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhen's heart tightened, and a displeased expression appeared on her face. She emphasized her words:
"Aren't you usually fearless? What, now you're afraid to do something this simple? You don't want this money anymore?"
“Girl, it’s not that we don’t want to make this money, it’s just that the risk is too great! We want to live a peaceful life here, so please don’t make things difficult for us.”
With that, they patted their behinds and left.
Seeing their resolute attitude, Su Zhen felt unwilling but had no choice but to leave in a huff.
However, Su Zhen did not give up.
She approached more than a dozen people, but each time she received the same rejection.
Some people wouldn't even speak to her and would just turn around and leave.
Some people, seeing that she was a young woman, harbored evil intentions. They not only refused her request but also snatched the silver from her hand.
Su Zhen watched those people arrogantly leave, trembling with anger, her fury burning ever brighter.
"These cowards, a bunch of useless trash!" Su Zhen cursed through gritted teeth. "They can't even touch a country girl, they're utterly useless!"
But the more impossible it is, the more she insists on doing it.
She refused to believe it. Was there really no one in the world who dared to touch Su Li?
Just when she was almost in despair, she heard that there was a group of thugs near the city gate who would do anything for money.
Most of these people were orphans or outsiders, helpless and alone in this place. Their only concern was money; they were typical money-grubbers.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Su Zhen's heart.
After much trouble, she finally found those thugs.
They were sitting in a corner drinking, their clothes were tattered, their faces were covered in stubble, and their greedy eyes were staring at Su Zhen with ill intent.
Su Zhen steadied herself, took a deep breath, stepped forward, deftly took out Su Li's portrait, and handed it to the leader of the thugs. A sinister glint flashed in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and said:
"This man, cripple her, or better yet, kill her! If you can injure her, I'll give you silver immediately. If you can completely eliminate her, I'll give each of you fifty taels of silver!"
"This is a considerable sum of money; enough for you to live it up for quite a while."
Upon hearing this, the thugs' eyes widened instantly, staring greedily at Su Zhen. They then glanced at Su Li in the portrait, seemingly pondering whether Su Zhen's words were credible.
A moment later, the leader of the thugs licked his lips, took the portrait, and said with a grin, "Young lady, you're so generous! Don't worry! Leave this little thing to us brothers, we'll take care of it for you!"
After saying that, he patted his chest, looking very confident.
Su Zhen nodded in satisfaction, took out a silver ingot from her bosom and threw it to them, saying coldly, "This is a deposit. After the matter is completed, you will receive your share of the benefits."
The thugs quickly reached out and took the silver, beaming with joy and bowing obsequiously.
A hint of disdain flashed in Su Zhen's eyes.
In her opinion, these thugs were indeed the kind of people who would do anything for money.
After turning around, Su Zhen snorted coldly and strode away.
She always said that money makes the world go round. Some people pretend to be reserved in the face of money, but there are always some people who just can't live without it.
For now, she can save her life with a little money. Once she truly rises to prominence with that young master, she won't just be a dock manager; the entire Wuyang Town will kneel at her feet.
In time, those who rejected her will all regret their actions today.
From then on, these thugs began to stake out the places where Su Li frequented.
They are like wolves lurking in the darkness, waiting for their prey to appear.
That day, Su Li went to the dock to manage her noodle shop business as usual.
She walked briskly into a secluded alley, but danger was quietly approaching.
Suddenly, several dark figures rushed out from the corner and surrounded her.
The leader of the thugs, with a menacing look on his face, brandished the stick in his hand and said with a forced smile:
"Sorry, little girl, someone wants to kill you today. There's a reason for this, so if you die, don't come looking for us brothers."
Su Li was startled by this sudden situation, but she quickly calmed down, her eyes flickering slightly, showing no sign of panic.
She straightened her back and shouted, "Who are you people? How dare you commit violence in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of the law?"
The thugs, far from being afraid, burst into laughter.
"The law? In this alley, we brothers are the law! If you know what's good for you, just obediently accept your fate and save us the trouble. In the end, you'll be the one who suffers."
As Su Li spoke, she subtly retreated, trying to find a chance to escape.
She scanned her surroundings warily. "Do you think you can succeed like this? If anything happens to me, my friends will definitely not let you off the hook!"
The leader of the thugs curled his lip in disdain and said, "Don't try to scare us with those words! You're not getting away today. Brothers, let's go!"
The thugs brandished their clubs, closing in step by step, banging their clubs on the ground with a loud thud that sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Su Li clenched her fists tightly, her eyes fixed on the thugs in front of her.
“We have no grudges against each other. Is it worth it for you to kill someone for such a small amount of money? I am the adopted daughter of Manager Yu at the dock. If anything happens to me, my godfather will definitely not let you off the hook.”
"Even if you get the money, none of you will escape!"
Upon hearing this, the thugs couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation on their faces.
The leader of the thugs frowned. He knew that the dock manager had some influence in the area, and if they really got into trouble, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
But when he thought of the fifty taels of silver the girl had promised, he felt somewhat unwilling.
"Don't listen to her nonsense! She's clearly just trying to scare us. She's just a greenhorn girl. I haven't heard of Steward Yu taking in any goddaughter. I think she's just bluffing!"
"Brothers, don't hesitate, let's do it!"
Upon hearing this, the other thugs raised their clubs again and charged towards Su Li...
