The man in the suit suddenly froze, completely at a loss. He couldn't understand how Jiang Yutong, who just moments ago was seething with anger, seemed like a completely different person in the blink of an eye.
"My boyfriend is already here, and he's no pushover; you're going to regret it in a moment!"
"Why haven't you bought the medicine yet?" Hao Jian approached and asked Jiang Yutong.
"He's deliberately making things difficult for me!" Jiang Yutong pointed suddenly at the man in the suit and then recounted to Hao Jian what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian couldn't help frowning and turned to look at the man in the suit.
The man in the suit, refusing to show weakness, crossed his arms and stared arrogantly at Hao Jian, as if to say, "What can you possibly do to me?"
Assuming Hao Jian was Jiang Yutong's boyfriend, the man in the suit wasn't fazed at all—he had snatched girlfriends in front of their boyfriends before. The women he encountered would shamelessly abandon their boyfriends as soon as they saw his car and clothes.
Although Jiang Yutong was a bit more difficult to deal with than those women, the man in the suit believed that if he splurged on her a bit more, Jiang Yutong would eventually give in. Moreover, after seeing Hao Jian's raggedy attire, the man in the suit's disdain was even more pronounced, and he felt more confident. With such a loser, how could he compete with him for a woman?
Wasn't it laughable for Jiang Yutong to think this man could take him on?
"Buddy, your pickup strategy is a bit outdated, don't you think?" Hao Jian said to the man in the suit with a smile.
"Mind your damn business! Who do you think you are?" the man in the suit said arrogantly.
"I didn't want to meddle, but you harassed my student, so that's a different story," Hao Jian said with a smile.
"Your student?" The man in the suit frowned and then seemed to realize something.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yutong stamped her feet in frustration. Why did he have to admit it so quickly? Wasn't this giving it away?
The man in the suit let out a cold laugh, "Naughty girl, lying to me, huh? He's not your boyfriend, he's your teacher. Picking any teacher to pretend to be your boyfriend to fool me? You really don't take me seriously, huh?"
Jiang Yutong's expression soured, and she felt a little embarrassed.@@novelbin@@
"So what if he's a teacher? Can't a teacher deal with you?" Hao Jian scoffed.
"Deal with me? You sure talk big!" The man in the suit laughed angrily, then glared and said, "Do you have any idea who I am? I'm the 'Little Prince' of the Street Racing Clan!"
"Wow, never heard of it!" Hao Jian exclaimed, then said expressionlessly.
"You." The man in the suit was infuriated by Hao Jian's unperturbed attitude.
"Alright, 'Little Prince,' move aside." Hao Jian unceremoniously pushed past the man in the suit, grabbed the package of medicine from the counter, and headed straight for the door.
"Hey! You can't take the medicine," the pharmacy's owner hastily said.
He had planned to sell the medicine to the man in the suit, who had offered a high price for it.
Seeing this, the man in the suit couldn't help sneering, "If you can't offer a higher price than me, then beat it early and stop making a fool of yourself here!"
Hao Jian looked at the pharmacy's owner with an amused expression, "You agreed to sell us the medicine, now do you intend to go back on your word?"
"You all, let the highest bidder get it!" the pharmacy owner said greedily. He could tell that Hao Jian and the man in the suit were at odds, and like the proverbial fisherman who benefits when the snipe and the clam grapple, he figured if he could inflate the price of these medicinal materials even higher, he would definitely be the one to profit!
He thought Hao Jian would raise his offer, but he was wrong. Hao Jian just smiled coldly, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, but I won't raise the price!"
"Then I won't sell it to you!" The pharmacy owner huffed coldly, feeling somewhat scornful inside. Not enough money to pay and still want to buy his drugs? Wishful thinking!
"But you just agreed!" Jiang Yutong said, annoyed.
"I've changed my mind, is that a problem?" the pharmacy owner said arrogantly, acting as if it were his right. At this moment, he wasn't the slightest bit embarrassed. What did shame matter for ten thousand yuan?
Hearing this, the man in the suit looked at Jiang Yutong somewhat smugly, "Beauty, don't say he's not your boyfriend. Even if he were, could you be happy with such a penniless loser?"
"Are you really pushing me to have someone smash up your shop?" Hao Jian asked the pharmacist seriously, his face darkening with anger.
The man in the suit's eyebrows raised in surprise; no wonder this kid was so brazen—he had backup!
When the pharmacy owner heard this, he was shocked and grew anxious. If what Hao Jian said was true, then he was definitely someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Who the hell do you think you're scaring? Call someone? Go on, try it!" the man in the suit said arrogantly. He then slapped the pharmacy owner's shoulder, "Don't be scared, owner. I've got your back. I'll call Tom over right now.
I want to see just how tough this kid is!"
Hearing the man in the suit speak like that, the pharmacy owner immediately felt reassured, as if he had taken a sedative. He gathered the courage to yell at Hao Jian, "I'm not selling the medicine to you, get out!"
Hao Jian didn't speak, but silently took out his phone to make a call.
At this moment, the pharmacy owner looked at the man in the suit with apprehension, while the man in the suit just sneered and took out his phone to call someone, "Hey, Old Black, I've got a little trouble here. Some deadbeat is making trouble for me. The address is here."
"Buzz buzz buzz."
Soon, over a dozen sports cars pulled up in front of the pharmacy, and a crowd of stylishly dressed young men and women got out.
The ordinary citizens living in this working-class district were stunned. Most had only seen such luxury cars on TV. This was their first time seeing them up close in real life.
In no time, nearly thirty people crowded into the pharmacy, blocking it off completely.
Seeing this, the pharmacy owner finally felt at ease. He could tell that these people were wealthy young masters, likely with powerful families behind them, and most importantly, they were friends of the man in the suit. This meant he didn't need to worry about Hao Jian's threats any longer.
Watching all these rich young masters arrive, Jiang Yutong too became somewhat timid, gripping one of Hao Jian's arms.
Hao Jian patted Jiang Yutong's arm gently, giving her a reassuring smile, signaling not to worry.
"Old Song, what's got you so winded?" a young master asked the man in the suit with a playful grin.
"I'm here trying to pick up chicks, and this punk dares to meddle. Help me take this trash out!" the man in the suit said with a sinister chuckle.
Hearing this, the friends of the man in the suit all sent malicious glances toward Hao Jian.
"Kid, daring to oppose our Street Racing Clan, you must be tired of living, huh?" said a man with pierced ears and an explosive hairstyle, looking like a punk.
