Brucille tied the bag that Monique threw to him onto his waist. He took a step forward and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you guys?”
“You don’t need to know who we are. It’s fate that brought us together. This is your girlfriend, right? All we want is 200 thousand yuan, then we’ll let her go.
So it was a robbery, Robert thought. However, robberies rarely involved so many people!
“I can afford to pay you 200 thousand yuan, that’s fine. Just let her go first and let her stand beside me. You won’t have to worry about us running away, since you have so many people surrounding us, right?”
The man snorted, “Hey, bro, look at the current situation. You don’t get to decide anything, I do. Transfer us 200 thousand yuan first, then we’ll talk about other things.”
Seeing the steel pipes and wooden sticks in their hands, Brucille understood that it was not just a simple robbery.
No one would execute a robbery in the park in the middle of the night, and it wasn’t necessary to involve so many people for a normal robbery as well. He quickly analyzed the people and tried to guess their identities.
“Hurry up, or we’ll wreck this woman.”
Although Monique remained silent, she did not cry. She gritted her teeth, but her eyes were full of hope.
If she hadn’t pushed him away just now, all this wouldn’t have happened. She could only blame herself for being too impulsive.
Brucille took out his mobile phone and launched the banking application to transfer 200 thousand yuan to their bank account.
The gang was content to receive another 200 thousand yuan in addition to Morgan’s money.
After receiving the money, the leader of the gang announced, “The man who paid us wanted us to break one of your legs. Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want us to do it for you?”
At first, Monique thought that they just wanted money, but the man’s words made her realize that Brucille was their target the whole time.
Brucille immediately understood that they already had their eye on him for some time.
Exhaling slowly, he enquired, “May I know how much money did they pay you for this? Who are they? I can offer you ten times the money, you should consider my offer properly.”
“You only asked for 200 thousand yuan, but I can give you 2 million or even 5 million yuan if you tell me who the other party is,” he offered.
The corner of the burly man’s mouth twitched a few times. The amount that Brucille offered was enough to make him feel tempted.
But still, he replied coldly, “There’s no need. There are some things that can’t be solved by money. Do you want to do it yourself or should I do it? I’ll give you 60 seconds to think about it. Otherwise, this woman…” The man sneered after that.
A cool breeze flurried from the riverside, blowing from the hem of her skirt to her thigh. Monique could tell that she was in a dangerous situation.
Unusually scared, she bit her lips hard and started at Brucille, trying to figure out what he was going to do next.
All of a sudden, Brucille opened his arms in surrender, deciding, “Well, since we can’t come to an agreement, we’ll do as you say. I am a timid person, I’ll let you do it.”
With a cock of his head, the big man gestured to the two men behind him. They began to approach Brucille. However, Brucille suddenly raised his hand again.
“Wait a minute, can you give me a minute to calm down? Are you going to break my left leg or my right leg??”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Both of you, wreck him for me.”
“I told you to wait a minute. I want to pee. If I hold my pee for too long, it’ll ruin my bladder. I can just do it here. After all, the only woman present here is my legal wife, she doesn’t care.”
Monique was on the verge of breaking down. She couldn’t tell if Brucille was just playing dumb or if he was really dumb.
It was such a critical moment, yet he was still acting so childish.
Brucille faced the big tree and posed as if he was actually urinating, making everyone present feel awkward.
However, Brucille was not actually urinating. Quickly, he launched into a jump higher than 4 metres. Using the trunk of the tree as a pivot, he bounced back quickly, landing a punch in the face of the leader.
Then, with a scissors kick, he knocked down the two men holding Monique. He immediately grabbed her hand and ran as fast as he could all the way.
“Ah!”
Running barefoot in the park, Monique’s feet hurt very much as she stepped on the rough grass.
Seeing that her running speed was as slow as a tortoise, Brucille bent down and carried her up, and Monique clung tightly to his neck.
She was surprised that Brucille could pick her up so quickly, yet still run as fast as a panther.
However, right in front of them was a river.
Brucille asked, “Can you swim?”
“No, I can’t.”
Brucille stopped abruptly and put her down on the edge of the river. “Call the police. Let’s hope that I don’t die before the police come.”
Monique quickly took the bag from Brucille’s back and took out her handphone to call the police.
The big man’s eyes were seriously hurt by Brucille, probably even ruptured.
He took a meter-long steel pipe and shouted angrily, “Let’s get him and throw him in the river to feed the fish! The police can come and collect his body.”
At that moment, Brucille, like a pine tree, stood still in front of Monique and whispered, “Don’t go anywhere. Just stand behind me. Don’t run around, or I won’t be able to protect you.”
She replied shakily, “I have already called the police, they will be here soon.”
All the gangsters attacked together. Brucille used his left arm to take a hit, then snatched the steel pipe from the man and slammed it down the back of his neck.
Once Brucille got hold of the weapon, he became a wild beast. He beat all the gangsters, knocking their teeth to the ground.
Brucille dragged the leader to his side, stepped on his face and questioned, “I’ll ask you one more time, who sent you here?”
“Morgan Hwang, we were ordered by Mr. Hwang.”
“Who is this Morgan Hwang? I’ve never heard of this person before.”
Brucille was confused. He really didn’t know that person.
The gangster explained, “Maxwell, Maxwell Wu, he’s the chairman of the Sky Tech Group, do you know him? Morgan Hwang is his assistant. Although Mr. Hwang didn’t say it, I’m pretty sure Mr. Wu ordered him to do it.”
Just as Brucille was trying to recall something, the police arrived, and all the gangsters fled.
However, one of the gangsters caught him off guard and smashed a wooden stick on Brucille’s head.
Instantly, Brucille’s vision went black, and he fell to the ground.
Monique reached out to touch Brucille’s head, and she realized that there was blood all over her palm. “Someone, someone please help him, he’s dying!” she shouted.
The policemen heard her shouts and rushed over. They sent Brucille to the hospital as fast as they could.
Monique’s feet were bare, and she was in a terrible state. She couldn’t find any words to describe her feelings at the moment. All she could do was hope that Brucille would be able to live safely and not have to go through any more accidents, because he had already died once.
