Chapter 90

When Lu Xin walked to the corner of the single apartment, he saw two shady guys approaching him.

The guy on the left was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, fat and fleshy, with a round belly and small eyes. At first glance, he somewhat resembled a third-generation official, wearing a black leather suit with his hair dyed a striking green. When he shook his head, he looked like a green-haired turtle.

Lu Xin recognized this guy; his name was Wang Man Cang. Like Chen Zhenpeng, he was the son of an old employee of the Sanjiang Group. Lazy and unwilling to work hard like his father in the factory, he wandered around outside, engaging in petty theft and extortion. He was extremely disreputable, and even Chen Zhenpeng, who was a scoundrel, despised Wang Man Cang's character.

Speaking of Wang Man Cang's real name, few people in the entire Sanjiang Group might know it, but his nickname was well-known to everyone. His nickname was "Turtle Cang," as it was said that every time he fell in love, his girlfriend would cheat on him. He had been married twice, and both wives had cheated on him, leading to his nickname "Turtle Cang."

Wang Man Cang once vowed never to be cheated on again but to cheat on others instead. However, due to his notorious reputation, no decent woman would look at him except for those who only cared about money. In the end, Wang Man Cang gave up and dyed his hair green, fitting his nickname "Turtle Cang."

The guy on the right was the complete opposite of Turtle Cang, tall and thin like a bamboo stick. His face was pale, with small eyes that often looked like he was rolling them. Not only did he look this way, but his temper was also like this, and he spoke very rudely.

This thug's real name was Wang Yi Shen, also the son of an old employee of the Sanjiang Group. His nickname was "Wang Yi Gen" because he not only looked like a bamboo stick but also had a straightforward and stubborn personality.

A few months ago, Wang Yi Gen was caught by his wife while flirting with a girl outside. When his wife confronted him about why he was cheating on her, he shouted at her, "I'm tired of fucking you, can't I fuck someone else?" This enraged his wife, who called all their relatives to beat him up on the street. Even though there were police nearby, they ignored the situation after hearing Wang Yi Gen's despicable words. In the end, this bastard was beaten up, with a bloody head and a bruised face. His wife then divorced him, and other women, knowing his heartless nature, also avoided him. Now, like Turtle Cang, he only associated with women who cared about money, and no decent women would bother with them.

These two scoundrels, sharing the same bad habits, became close friends and teamed up to scam and extort people. They often engaged in petty theft, and the money they scammed was either used for gambling or hiring prostitutes, never for anything legitimate.

Turtle Cang and Wang Yi Gen glanced at Lu Xin and quickly walked towards him. Turtle Cang was holding a small incense burner in his hand.

Lu Xin usually didn't look like a rich person, so these two guys never targeted him. He had never interacted with them but had often heard about their notorious deeds. Seeing their approach, he understood what was happening and quickly took out his phone, turned on the video recording mode, and placed it in his sleeve, then tried to walk around them.

When Turtle Cang saw Lu Xin trying to go around, he quickly stepped in front of him. When he was about a meter away from Lu Xin, he suddenly lunged at him.

Lu Xin was prepared and took a quick step back, moving two meters away.

Turtle Cang, using too much force, fell to the ground with a thud, and the incense burner in his hand shattered.

He looked at the broken incense burner and wailed, "My family's ancestral Xuande incense burner, you broke it!"

Turtle Cang got up from the ground and tried to grab Lu Xin's arm, "You have to compensate me..."

Lu Xin quickly stepped back and coldly said, "Let's talk this out! Don't grab me!"

Turtle Cang sneered, "You weren't careful and broke my family's ancestral Xuande incense burner. I had it appraised by an expert a few days ago, and it's worth at least 100,000 yuan. I know you're a poor college student, so here's a deal: give me 50,000 yuan or something of equal value, and we'll call it even."

Damn, they're just after my 50,000 yuan lottery ticket! Lu Xin glanced at the nearby lottery shop and understood the situation even more. He smiled coldly, "I have a scratch-off lottery ticket that won 50,000 yuan, but I haven't claimed it yet!"

Turtle Cang and Wang Yi Gen exchanged a smile, "Give us that lottery ticket, and we'll call it even."

Lu Xin was amused by the stupidity of these two thugs, "Why should I give it to you? The Xuande incense burner is a copper incense burner designed and manufactured during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the first copper vessel made of brass in history. It's not a ceramic incense burner that breaks easily. You must have just bought this small incense burner from Mr. Yang at the porcelain shop. I suggest you read more books and gain some common knowledge before you go out to scam people. You'll be looked down upon for being so unprofessional!"

"Damn it, no matter what, you broke my incense burner, and you have to compensate me!" Turtle Cang sneered, "Give me that lottery ticket!"

"You're clearly trying to extort me!" Lu Xin narrowed his eyes and said coldly. If anyone familiar with Lu Xin knew, they would understand that once he narrowed his eyes, he was determined, and the person who offended him would either die or be severely injured.

At that moment, a man in uniform walked over and said arrogantly, "Whether it's extortion or not isn't up to you to decide, it's up to me!"

Lu Xin glanced at the man, who was wearing a police uniform, but it was loose and his cap was tilted, lacking the dignity of a police officer. Upon closer inspection, he was just a security guard, already in his thirties, and had no chance of becoming a regular officer. He was a temporary worker, often used as a scapegoat for regular officers with connections, but he still felt superior to ordinary people.

Originally, security guards were part of a professional community defense team and did not have administrative law enforcement powers. They must work under the leadership of regular police officers, and tasks requiring legal authority must be completed by regular police officers, with security guards only providing assistance. Legally, security guards have rights, not powers, and these rights are no different from those of ordinary citizens.

However, many security guards lack self-awareness and consider themselves similar to ancient bailiffs, often bullying the public and colluding with criminals to engage in illegal activities. The security guard in front of him was a typical example.

Lu Xin smiled coldly, "Officer, isn't this extortion?"
