Chapter 954 Fight
The monkey didn't react at first, squinting his eyes for a long time at the beggar huddled in the corner. His ragged cotton-padded jacket was shiny with dirt, his hair was a mess of grass, and he was huddled in the shadows with his knees hugged, looking just like any other beggar. Until he saw half a half-eaten steamed bun in his hand.
His heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless. He quickly crouched down and leaned close to Xiao Bao's ear, lowering his voice very low: "Brother Bao, he's just a beggar. I guess he's starving and squatting here to rest. It's okay. I'll go send him away right away and make sure he doesn't delay our business."
Xiao Bao's eyes turned cold instantly, like a knife tempered with ice. A fierce arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was colder than the night wind: "Go quickly. Remember, deal with it cleanly and don't leave any survivors, understand?" The beggars who suddenly showed up at this critical juncture were most likely people left behind by Gu Nan. Keeping them would be a disaster. If something went wrong, no one could afford it.
Monkey's heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck. He'd just thought he'd just run away, but he'd never expected Xiao Bao to kill him. But at this point, there was no time for hesitation. He could only bite the bullet and nod, "I understand, Brother Bao." With that, he quietly pulled a folding knife from his pocket. With a click, the hidden catch snapped open, and the sharp blade gleamed in the moonlight. He gripped the knife tightly, his steps light, and he inched toward the "beggar." The sounds of rock-paper-scissors and laughter drifted over from the nearby tent, a lively and bustling atmosphere that only made the sinister intensity of this corner seem even more chilling.
Before turning around, Monkey turned back and smiled at Xiao Bao, his tone was somewhat flattering and firm: "Brother Bao, don't worry, I have arranged this little matter. I guarantee that it will be handled cleanly and there will be no mistakes."
After saying that, he walked straight towards Gu Bei, who had just finished talking to the beggar, and deliberately raised his voice: "Hey, what are you doing here?"
Gu Bei was already prepared. He knew they were going to make a move when Xiao Bao and his men were sneaking around nearby. He just didn't expect so many people, all armed with weapons, and he was secretly worried, wondering if he could hold out until Gu Nan got the signal. He feigned bewilderment, grinning innocently. "I... I'm asking the locals for something to eat. I'm starving. What are you doing?"
Seeing him like this, Monkey relaxed his vigilance a little. Originally, according to Xiao Bao's intention, he wanted to take action to deal with Gu Bei as well, but then he thought that it would be too noisy to act now, and it would be bad if it alerted the people in the yard. He put away his folding knife, patted Gu Bei on the shoulder, and said with a somewhat fake warmth: "Hey, I'm kidding you. Have you forgotten the task I gave you? Didn't I tell you to wait at the village entrance? Why are you here? Don't worry, I'll give you two more dollars after we're done. Now get out of here quickly and don't get in the way."
Gu Bei said "Oh", pretended to suddenly understand, nodded and was about to turn around.
Seeing this, the monkey's mouth curled up into a smug smile - he was indeed a money-grubber, so easy to deal with. He waved his hand and urged impatiently: "Alright, get out now, you'll definitely get some benefits later. Two yuan is enough for you to buy two meat buns, okay?"
At that moment, Gu Bei suddenly stopped and turned around. The innocent smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes were sharp, like a different person. He stared at the monkey and the vague figure behind him, and said word by word, "Alright, stop pretending. I know you want to attack the courtyard. But as long as I'm here, don't even think about taking that step."
Monkey froze, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. In his eyes, this beggar was supposed to be a muddleheaded fool, beaming with joy at the sight of money. Why had he suddenly changed? He didn't react for a moment, staring at Gu Bei, his voice trembling: "What did you say?"
Gu Bei just stood there quietly, his back straight. Where was the slightest bit of the beggar's vulgarity? He repeated: "I said, this is not the place for you to stay. Get out as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
The monkey finally came to his senses, the shock on his face slowly turning into realization, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face: "No wonder you dared to follow me last time. You made such a fuss not for that little bit of silver, but to get to my lair. Quite interesting."
Xiao Bao, who was standing next to him, frowned and looked at the monkey: "What's going on?"
Monkey didn't dare to neglect it and told him everything about his last encounter with Gu Bei in the alley and how he pretended to hire him to spy on Ran Qiuye. At the end, he said in a deep voice, "At that time, I thought he was just a greedy guy and didn't take it seriously. It seems that Gu Nan has known about our plan for a long time. This guy is hiding it well. We have to act quickly and can't wait any longer."
Xiao Bao hadn't expected Gu Nan to have such a method, to be able to plant people to sneak up on them. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted to the brothers behind him: "Kill him!"
"No need." Monkey waved his hand, a conceited smile on his face, "I can play this kind of role by myself."
Xiao Bao knew Monkey's skills, and since Monkey volunteered, he didn't insist anymore and just watched coldly - he wanted to see how capable this Gu Bei was.
Inside, Ran Qiuye peeped out through the crack in the window, her heart in her throat. She had never imagined that so many men, armed with weapons, would arrive during a short movie screening. Gu Bei, standing alone outside, was a heartbreaking sight. But she was a woman, a child in her arms. Even if she wanted to call for help, she didn't know where to turn. She could only clutch the corner of her clothes tightly, her fingertips digging into her flesh.
Monkey looked at Gu Bei's stubborn expression, his eyes filled with more hostility. He gritted his teeth and warned, "Remember, I'm giving you one last chance. Get out of this yard now. Let's pretend what happened today never happened. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Gu Bei raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes. He just stood there firmly: "I said, I won't leave. If you want to fight, come on."
"You're looking for death!" The monkey shouted angrily, exerting force on his feet and rushing forward like an enraged beast. He clenched his fist tightly and smashed it into Gu Bei's face with a whistling sound. His punch was fast and fierce, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
Gu Bei knew that his job now was to buy time, waiting for support from the shadows. He didn't dodge, and just as the fist was about to strike, he suddenly misstepped, his body sliding half a foot to the side like a willow leaf in the wind, just avoiding the blow. The monkey's fist brushed past his ear, and the strong wind it brought stung his cheek.
