Time flew by, and a month later, Banggen was finally released from the Public Security Bureau. Instead of heading straight back to the Red Star Courtyard like anyone else, he went without pause to find his former lackeys. Those lackeys, in fact, had been waiting for him to appear.
It was Banggen who had incited them to go after Xushu, only for them to be utterly humiliated and beaten by him. Moreover, they had paid a heavy price for it, not only spending a large sum on medical bills but also paying a fifty-yuan fine to the Security Section. After some discussion, they decided that the losses they suffered must be borne by Banggen, as it was his badgering that had caused everything in the first place.
However, Banggen was a chip off the old block of Mrs. Jia; he was not about to cough up money easily. He valued money more than his own life, let alone his lackeys. So, when faced with their unreasonable demands, he refused without a second thought. Not only that, but he felt these lackeys were crossing the line by daring to ask him for money, so without another word, he raised his hand and slapped the leader across the face.
