Chapter 492 - 256: Tattooed Muscleman: First Time Seeing Someone So Eager to Court Death
"That’s definitely a proper homeowner!"
Before entering, you could already hear the somewhat hoarse voice of a middle-aged man.
At the same time, there was the sound of chairs and tables shaking, as if the conversation inside was quite unpleasant.
Seeing Zhao Yamei come in, the middleman clinging tightly to the tenant instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bro, take a look, I’m not lying to you, the landlord is here."
Without further ado, the middleman dragged the leading man forward, and Zhao Yamei felt as if the sky darkened, a shadow instantly blanketed her view.
Seeing the figure clearly, not only Zhao Yamei but also the viewers in the livestream felt as if the sky had darkened.
"What’s this? Cosplay? Are you sure this is a proper tenant?"
"Eight feet tall, burly, covered in tattoos, fierce-looking, bald... How does this look like a decent person?"
"What is this middleman up to? Is he trying to get out of this line of work? Recommending such tenants, he’ll do anything for money."
"..."
Ning An also carefully observed the man in front of him.
According to the system panel’s information, this big guy should be the tattooed hulk, and he’s been in prison.
But strangely, no matter how Ning An looked, he couldn’t see him as a vicious person.
He even opened his Dharma Eye to peek into the man’s Life Chart, but couldn’t see any deep black in it, at most a gray or two.
"That’s weird."
Ning An mumbled to himself while the middleman enthusiastically introduced.
"Miss Zhao, don’t be deceived by his scary looks. In reality, he’s a good person."
"Back in the day, his wife disappeared, and people thought he killed her. He spent 11 years in prison, and it was only recently cleared up by the police that she ran away from home. That’s why he was released."
As the middleman spoke, he pulled over another Gloomy Younger Brother.
"And this one, to be honest, he’s also a pitiful guy."
"Don’t be fooled by his current appearance. Back then, he encountered a rape and murder case, reported it with good intentions but was mistaken for the murderer, spent nine years before he was released."
The middleman put his hand on another person, an old man with a hunched back.
"His name is Zhao Zhuohai. He had a quarrel with villagers before, and when the villagers disappeared, he was marked as a suspect."
"Like the others, he too was wronged, only his plight was a bit worse than the first two."
The hunched old man wobbled but still didn’t look up, letting out a hoarse laugh full of unspeakable irony:
"What worse? It’s just a great memory restorationsurgery. In the end, the state compensated, didn’t they, haha."
The viewers in the livestream couldn’t hold back after hearing this.
"What the hell! This middleman seems to know something. These tenants, though unreliable at first glance, seem acceptable?"
"Are you saying the cases involving these three were all wrongful convictions back then?!"
"I don’t know about the old man, but I’ve certainly heard of the tattooed hulk and the Gloomy Younger Brother’s cases, as they were indeed sensational."
"It’s said that the cases couldn’t be solved back then, or the real murderers had connections, leading to these misunderstandings and them being marked as culprits."
"No kidding, it’s said that those who were involved in the investigations later went down, finally clearing their names. If I recall correctly, the media headlines back then were ’Justice may be delayed, but it never disappears.’"
"Hehehe, does delayed justice still count as justice? Pull the other one."
"Bro, in the eyes of the big shots, aren’t we just like ghosts?"
"..."
After introducing them, the middleman sighed, "They’re ordinary people at heart. It’s not by choice they’re like this, it’s the environment that made them this way."
This made Zhao Yamei, who was still hesitating a moment ago, instantly make up her mind.
She not only swiftly signed the agreement but also waived their water and electricity fees with a grand gesture.
She had only one request—
They move in immediately and help her deal with the crazy neighbor, to get some payback!
...
These people had just gotten out and didn’t have much luggage.
Once the agreement was signed, they immediately carried their scarce belongings to move to their new home.
"Little Daoist, do you think it’ll work, them moving in?"
While looking at a nearby hotel, Zhao Yamei mused aloud.
She had never thought of renting out her home and living in a hotel herself.
Let alone renting to three men, especially ones just out of prison.
Ning An watched their backs fading into the distance, a whole drama playing in his mind, and said with a smile, "To handle ruffians, this is the best way—soft afraid of hard, hard afraid of wild, and wild afraid of those who don’t care for their lives."
Zhao Yamei pondered, "Yeah, although these three were wronged, they did come out of prison."
"Even if they are good at heart, spending years in prison is corrupting. You don’t think they’ll just off my crazy neighbor, do you?"
In Zhao Yamei’s mind, she imagined the crazy neighbor provoking them, leading to arguments with her three tenants, culminating in a bloody scene.
"They wouldn’t, would they? They should know to hold back."
"I just want them to teach him a lesson. They wouldn’t misunderstand, right?"
With that thought, Zhao Yamei quickly headed home, feeling she needed to discuss boundaries with them again.
