Chapter 322 I'll grant your wish
Master Lin's expression was stern as he spoke.
"Jiang Hao, you can postpone the payment, but you have to... leave one of your hands behind."
"Wh...what?!"
These words struck Jiang Hao like a thunderbolt, making him tremble all over.
The color drained from his face at a visible speed, turning him deathly pale. His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
His legs, which had been supporting him, suddenly gave way, and with a "thud," he collapsed straight to the ground.
"No...no...Mr. Lin, I can't live without hands...I still need to do business with my hands, to make a living with my hands..."
Jiang Hao tried to crawl over and hug Lin Ye's leg, but his body was as limp as a lump of mud, and he could only struggle on the ground, looking utterly pathetic.
Seeing this, Master Lin didn't even lift his eyelids, and coldly shouted at the bald man next to him,
"Bear, charge!"
"Alright!" That was exactly what the bear was waiting for.
He grinned and immediately threw the steel pipe in his hand to the ground with a loud crash that sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Immediately, the bear snatched the machete from his henchman's hand, the blade flashing a cold light in the dim light.
A sinister grin spread across his face. He turned and waved to his henchmen behind him, shouting menacingly.
"Come on, follow me, hold this old man down! Don't let him move!"
Several henchmen immediately echoed, grinning maliciously as they surrounded Jiang Hao, who was sprawled on the ground.
Jiang Hao was so terrified that he screamed.
"Don't touch me!"
"Master Lin, spare me! Master Lin, spare me!"
Just as their hands were about to touch Jiang Hao, a cold, icy voice suddenly rang out.
"Stop right there! All of you, stop!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable force, freezing the henchmen in mid-air.
The bear was taken aback. Without even turning his head to look at the speaker, he already guessed who it was.
The pent-up anger in his heart exploded instantly. The bear abruptly turned its head, gritting its teeth and roaring.
"You son of a bitch! I've put up with you for far too long!"
"You've ruined my plans time and time again! And now you're meddling again?"
"Fuck you, go to hell!"
The bear's eyes were bloodshot as it stared intently at Ma Junjie, who was blocking Jiang Hao's path.
The veins on his arms bulged out like gnarled old tree roots.
The next second, the bear suddenly pushed off the ground, and like an out-of-control bulldozer, it charged towards Ma Junjie with a gust of foul wind.
The machete sliced through the air with a sharp "whoosh," and was about to strike Ma Junjie's head.
Ma Junjie's expression remained unchanged, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his hands slightly clenched into fists, already in a defensive and counter-attack stance.
At this critical moment, Master Lin's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"Bear, stop!"
The bear's body suddenly stopped, abruptly halting less than half a meter from Ma Junjie.
The tip of the machete almost grazed the hem of Ma Junjie's clothes, and the resulting gust of wind ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead.
The bear turned its head, its face full of resentment and indignation, and complained loudly to Master Lin.
"Master Lin! This kid is too arrogant! He doesn't take us seriously at all! Let me kill him!"
Master Lin snorted coldly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger, and no one could guess why he suddenly called a halt.
He simply waved at the bear and said calmly,
"Get out of here."
The bear dared not speak out in anger.
He glared helplessly at Ma Junjie, his eyes filled with a sinister and vicious look.
But he dared not disobey Master Lin's orders, so he could only grit his teeth, turn around unwillingly, and take big steps back.
After taking several steps back, he slammed the machete in his hand onto the ground in a fit of rage.
"Clang, clang,"
The machete bounced on the ground, making a piercing sound.
Master Lin didn't care about the bear's feelings.
Instead, he kept his gaze fixed on Ma Junjie, a hint of approval flashing in his sharp eyes.
The next second, Lin unexpectedly raised his hand and clapped twice, the applause being particularly clear in the silent scene.
"Kid, not bad, you've got guts, you're a promising talent."
Master Lin spoke slowly, and then formally asked,
"May I ask your honorable name?"
Ma Junjie dusted off the corner of his clothes, answered calmly and respectfully.
"I will not change my name or surname, I am Ma Junjie."
"Good, good name!" Master Lin praised.
He then lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Hao, who was curled up on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
He then looked up at Ma Junjie, a half-smile on his face, and said...
"Ma Junjie, I heard from Lin Wei that you used to be the security captain under Jiang Hao?"
"Logically speaking, you're just employer and employee. Was it really necessary to risk your life to save him?"
Ma Junjie gave a cold laugh and said,
"Master Lin, judging from your appearance, you're someone who's involved in the underworld?"
"In the world of martial arts, what matters most is loyalty and brotherhood?"
"Jiang Hao gave me food and a job. Now that he's in trouble, it's only natural and right for me to stand up for him."
Master Lin was taken aback, clearly somewhat surprised.
Lin Wei listened from the side, a complex expression appearing in her eyes.
After a while, Mr. Lin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tone became more relaxed.
"Ma Junjie, I understand now. Jiang Hao, you absolutely have to be saved."
Ma Junjie's lips curled into a smirk as he glanced at Master Lin.
He laughed.
"Mr. Lin, you were right!"
"Hahaha!" Master Lin burst into laughter.
His eyes darted around.
He suddenly stopped laughing.
His tone became playful as he said,
"Ma Junjie, since that's how it is, then I'll grant your wish!"
"There's an opportunity now that not only can we get Jiang Hao to postpone his payment and save his job, but we can also... reduce his debt by 200 million."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao abruptly raised his head, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
Even Lin Wei, who was standing next to her, was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting her second uncle to make such a request.
After saying that, Master Lin stared at Ma Junjie and said, word by word,
"Ma Junjie, what do you say? Do you dare to agree?"
Ma Junjie smiled faintly, a hint of unruliness appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Lin Wei felt annoyed again by his fearless attitude.
"Mr. Lin, with such a good deal, why wouldn't I agree?"
Ma Junjie shrugged, his tone slightly teasing.
"If I can get a 200 million reduction, it's like I've made 200 million for free."
"My worthless life, even if you sold me, wouldn't be worth 200 million. So what do I have to be afraid of?"
After speaking, Ma Junjie took a step forward, his eyes sharp, staring at Master Lin.
"Master Lin, be straightforward and tell me what you want me to do?"
"Hahaha!" Master Lin couldn't help but laugh again, his laughter full of admiration.
"You've got guts, kid! I love dealing with straightforward people like you!"
He laughed a few times.
Master Lin's smile faded, and his expression became more serious.
He spoke slowly.
"Ma Junjie, I can't go into the details with you today."
"Come find me at the Heaven and Earth Entertainment City at 8 PM tomorrow night."
"Once you get there, you'll understand everything!"
