Shameless Gangster

Chapter 4A

As Man Li spoke, she started to cry miserably. Having been in Jin Ting for three years, she had always walked a gentle and beautiful route. Now that the truth had been revealed, she sobbed incessantly, making it even more pitiful.

Frowning just a bit, Han Jia slowly said, "I remember, wasn't there an architecture that was really good to you before?"

Man Li's big eyes looked at him as her tears dropped to the ground. "Han Laoban, since we're like this, since we're like this..." she couldn't complete her sentence and started to cry bitterly again. "Han Laoban, I beg you. I'm not the kind that plays with the lottery...with the debt that I owe Qing Ye, if I were to really work at 'those places' to pay back the money, I will die, I will die..."

Han Jia pursed his lips and looked at her. He knew that the so-called 'those places' were the lower level prostitution sites in the gang. The income was small, the guests were a mixture of different characters, and the procures over there embezzled money without regulation. On top of that, Man Li had a drug addiction that will certainly make her life even more difficult. It was certain that the rich and beautiful face before him now will slowly become thin and pallid until it ultimately became wizened.

Will die? Will really die... that's not a rare matter.

Two or three subordinates had made their way over. Han Jia took out the wallet that Zhou Shijie gave him and passed it to Man Li. "If you knew already that it would come to this, then why did you do it back then? There's some money in there, you can take it first—"

"I don't want it. Han Laoban, let me return—" Man Li held his legs tightly and pleaded, "Han Laoban, I beg you. I have quit already, I will pay attention, I will definitely pay attention to..." Han Jia stepped back and tried to break away from her hands, but she held his legs even tighter. Her speech sped up, afraid that Han Jia would not listen to her. "I can do a lot of things, I do everything, Han Laoban. Did you just meet with Mr. Zhou? You can't endure it alone, right... I can, I can! Let me go there. I can accompany you again, or, you can let me go alone... Han Laoban, I beg you..."

Han Jia's brows tightened up. He glanced to the side and screamed, "Why haven't you pull her away?!"

Two subordinates immediately came over and held Man Li's arms while another dragged her by the waist. In spite of her struggles, they pulled her away from him while her voice became even more miserable.

"Han Laoban, have pity on me! My child is still sick, have pit on my child! Please have pity on my sick child!"

Her voice was accompanied by the sobbing tones that pierced into the eardrums of everyone at the scene. A subordinate standing to the side could no longer look on and twisted his head away.

Han Jia felt his body becoming even more unwell as he slowly walked over and put the wallet into her pocket. He then reached out to move her fringes and said in a low and cold voice, "If it honestly doesn't work out, give the child to someone else."

From the look of it, Man Li did not listen to what he said at all. When she saw him walk over, a stubborn ray of light suddenly flashed before he eyes. Even though the makeup on her face had already been messed up by the tears, she still hurriedly and urgently spoke. "Han Laoban, I will be your footman. Let me be your footman... I am stronger than Zhang Xueming. What does he have? He doesn't know anything. He will betray you without care! Han Laoban, I will obey and listen to you. Han Laoban, Han Laoban... Han Laoban, help me!..."

Han Jia sighed and stood up without any hesitation. He slowly approached the side door into Jin Ting, leaving Man Li to cry behind him.

The sounds of footstep came from behind him—it was Zhang Xueming.

Han Jia waited for Zhang Xueming to catch up to him and asked in a low voice, "When you rarely helped someone and end up being undermined by that person, how does it feel?"

Zhang Xue Ming didn't say anything.

"Humph! You knew the time that I would come back and drove specifically to the side door, wasn't it all for Man Li?"

"I just think that she's quite pitiful..."

"Did you fall in love with her?" Han Jia asked with a harsh tone.

Zhang Xueming was obviously nervous. He wanted to say something again while his forehead broke out in cold sweats.

Han Jia snorted with a somewhat exhausted appearance.

"Han Laoban," a subordinate appeared in the hallway and ran over. "We caught the traitor that has been carrying narcotics in Jin Ting. Li Ge is interrogating him right now. He wanted me to ask if you wanted to go over there for a look?"

Han Jia laughed, "He just got with that pretty boy yesterday. Shouldn't you tell him that he should enjoy himself more? Now, he has to interrogate someone first thing in the morning, aren't you being a killjoy?"

When that subordinate also laughed, Han Jia said, "Let him wait a minute, I'll be there soon."

The subordinate nodded and walked away. Han Jia took two steps and turned into a bathroom that was on this floor. He splashed cool water on his face and then looked at himself in the mirror, exposing a flawless smile.

Han Jia, the playboy of Jin Ting, let never let himself be knocked down by anything.

Translator's Note:

'it all depends on the legs' refers to when one spread their legs open, so the legs can be spread for anyone that comes since in the end, they are guests (customers)

The last couple of paragraphs of this chapter lead to Lawless Gangster c11. :) and before c9 (when HJ gave JXN aka the 'pretty boy' to XL)

I wonder if Man Li is one of the girls that tried to sleep with XL in Lawless c14, because one of the girls, name Jing Jing, was described to have 'curly hair' as well. Like, why is there a need to mention that she has curly hair if it's not a clue and they're not the same person? If it's her, she must have changed her name and went to work for Luo Dong. I'm just speculating since I didn't read this novel yet, just reading as I translate. HAHAHAHA.
