Chapter 54 Is this a job that costs 500 dollars?
Detroit in 09.
Media outlets have ranked it as the most dangerous city in the United States.
Living in Detroit, the first skill you need to master is knowing where you can go and where you can't go.
Just like Clarissa, who comes to the association from "Grosspoint" every day, taking the same fixed route on the highway, she usually doesn't encounter any danger.
In other words, Detroit still has "safe havens".
For example, university districts, some middle-class communities, wealthy communities, large factory areas, etc.
As for the remaining large areas, they are basically controlled by different street gangs, which is beyond the government's control and the police's unwillingness to intervene.
However, don't assume that just because someone is a gang, they can live a carefree life like Chan Ho-nam.
Meng Ran heard from Xiao Daer that 90% of the gang members lived in dire poverty, and it was common for them to not know where their next meal would come from.
That makes sense when you think about it. Gangs are parasites; they can only make money when the city is prosperous.
Detroit is practically finished, how can these street gangs possibly have a good life?
The Rat Gang is alright.
By operating a scrap yard in the abandoned warehouse district of West Jefferson Avenue, they had a stable source of income.
However, the gang has nearly 150 members.
These incomes are not enough to allow everyone to live a good life.
Most members even had to work handling waste without any protective measures.
Therefore, Jimmy's "$500 beating commission" became a hot commodity in the River Rat gang, with a bunch of self-proclaimed top-notch thugs vying to carry it out.
But Midtown is not the territory of the River Rat Gang.
Gangs have a strong sense of territory, and causing trouble outside their own territory is strictly forbidden.
So, Reg, the leader of the River Rat Gang, nicknamed Rat King, personally selected five strong men and even brought guns in his car, intending to go there himself.
The real reason he agreed to help Jimmy was because Howard had given him a business deal.
The reason he insisted on asking Jimmy for $500 was partly to pay his subordinates;
On the other hand, he wanted to prevent Jimmy from continuing to boss him around by accepting money.
The problem is coming.
Will they be able to find Meng Ran?
The answer is yes.
Because the association's personnel department has Meng Ran's address information.
Even though he has moved to a detached house, the association still keeps track of him.
Because he hadn't been fired yet when he rented the new house.
Based on the customs and current situation in the United States, he went to the association's personnel department to change his address information so that he could receive documents from banks, tax authorities, and other institutions.
Now, these normal work reporting procedures have become a powerful tool for Jimmy to find someone to teach him a lesson.
in the afternoon.
Reg and his group of six drove a seven-seater Dodge SUV into the street where Meng Ran was located.
Park the car properly.
Reg, in the passenger seat, instructed a burly man in the back, "Razor, go find the house number and double-check if that kid is home."
Razor didn't reply, but silently pushed open the car door.
Holding an address with detailed information and Meng Ran's photo, he began searching house by house.
They searched for a few minutes.
He quickly found Meng Ran's detached house.
He looked around again.
He then quickly returned to the car and said to Reg, "The car is parked on the lawn; he should be at home."
"What should we do then?" asked "Beaver," who was in charge of driving.
"Wait, wait until he goes out, then intercept him on a deserted street, teach him a lesson, and leave quickly. There are too many police officers here," Reg said without hesitation.
"How badly should we teach them a lesson?" the beaver asked again.
Upon hearing this, Reg lowered his head and looked at the photo in his hand, lost in thought.
As he pondered, he suddenly laughed and said, "I don't know what conflict Jimmy and this kid have, but it seems he probably stole Jimmy's girlfriend."
"What?" Razor didn't understand how she could tell.
"This guy is prettier than any Hollywood star. If I were a woman, I'd fall for him too," Reg said, flicking the photo.
"Hahahaha..." The other five people in the car immediately burst into laughter.
Reg laughed and then said, "So, how about we strip him naked later? Jimmy would love to see that."
"Oh, Reg, you sound like an action movie director. I happen to have a short stick here; how about I let him shove it up his own ass?"
"You're a genius, Beaver." Reg and the others burst into laughter.
They are clearly very relaxed now.
I never even considered it, nor did I think there was any risk involved in this operation.
Time passed second by second.
Night gradually fell.
Unaware of the situation, Meng Ran had just finished a phone call with Xi Ya, and the two had arranged to meet at Le Bai Tavern for a drink.
but.
After Meng Ran went out, he had just walked to the car when he realized something was wrong.
Oh shit!
Why is my tire flat?
I lay down and took a look. There were two iron nails stuck in the tires of the left front wheel and the right rear wheel. It looked like they were run over on the road. It was impossible for a person to drive them that deep.
"When was it done? Why don't I feel anything?" Meng Ran scratched his head.
Forget it.
I'm too lazy to care anymore.
It's already dark, so there's no way I can get anyone to fix the car.
LeBai Tavern was only about a 10-minute walk away, so Meng Ran simply walked there with his hands in his pockets.
This amused Reg, who was standing behind them.
He hurriedly urged, "This kid didn't drive? Beaver, follow him. There's an abandoned house up ahead. We'll get out together and drag him into the alley between those two houses."
The beaver didn't reply, but instead slowly drove off at a distance, hoisting the car up.
They followed for a minute.
The beaver suddenly accelerated and, in just ten seconds, brought the car to a stop next to Meng Ran.
Then, three of the four car doors were pushed open instantly.
The beavers stayed in the car, ready to drive away at any time.
Rat King Reg, Razor, and three other burly men quickly got out of the car and blocked Meng Ran's way.
"Who are you?" Meng Ran, who was humming a song, quickly scanned the five people in front of her, then glanced at the car next to her.
"Kid, you've offended someone you shouldn't have. I can only apologize to you." Reg said, taking out his phone and turning on the recording function.
"So, you're here to cause trouble for me on behalf of someone else?" Meng Ran chuckled.
"You can understand it that way," Reg laughed heartily.
"Can you tell me who sent you?" Meng Ran asked casually, not taking these people seriously at all.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just take off your clothes and stick this stick down your ass. We'll leave after we're done filming. It won't hurt you..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, Reg felt as if all the air in his lungs was forcibly squeezed out by a tremendous force in an instant.
My vision went black rapidly, and I couldn't see anything.
He felt as if he were flying.
"Bang!"
My back slammed heavily onto the ground, but I felt no pain.
Reg wanted to shout.
He opened his mouth, but then vomited.
numb.
An indescribable tingling sensation swept over my entire body.
Immediately following was an unprecedented, excruciating pain that radiated from my stomach to my limbs, accompanied by spasms and a constant cold sweat.
The darkness gradually cleared.
He lay on his side on the ground, clutching his stomach, and looked around, his eyes instantly filled with terror.
He discovered that Razor and his three other brothers were lying motionless on the ground, their fates unknown.
What happened?
What the hell is going on?
Before he could figure it out, his already terrified eyes trembled violently.
Because he saw that the guy who was even more handsome than a celebrity was standing next to his car.
"Bang!"
He actually punched and smashed the car window next to the driver's seat.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the beaver by the hair and yanked the nearly 100kg beaver, which was trembling with fear, out of the car window with one hand.
Finally, like throwing a rag, he slammed the beaver directly onto the ground.
In that instant, the beaver stopped moving.
"Gulp~"
Reg, lying on the ground, swallowed hard, his mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and foam, and looked in horror at the man slowly walking towards him.
Is this guy even human?
Did it take him half a minute to take down all of them?
That damn bitch Jimmy dared to trick me into coming to my death for $500!
If I survive today, I will definitely seek revenge on him.
