Reborn as a capitalist's young master in the 1970s, he starts his life by being blocked at the

Among the thugs, the scarred man was the most vicious. Judging from the way he stabbed people with a knife just now, he must have injured many people in the past.

Chen Jianming naturally didn't want to let the other party off so easily, so he deliberately gave the other party a chance to escape.

After tying up the thugs, he turned to the elderly people in the courtyard and said, "Uncle Li, you keep an eye on these thugs while I go call the police."

Grandpa Li patted his chest and said, "Alright, Xiao Chen, don't worry, with us here, these thugs won't get away!"

Zhang Lu hurried over, her eyes blinking, and said, "I'm still here. I'm watching these thieves with the old men."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you all. These thugs are a bit ruthless, so please be careful."

Chen Jianming nodded, turned and left the courtyard.

However, instead of immediately calling the police, he hid at the corner of the alley, intending to wait for the rabbit to run into his trap.

He wasn't worried about Grandpa Li and the others being in any danger.

After all, Scarface had finally gotten a chance to escape, and if he had any sense, he certainly wouldn't have wasted time attacking the people in the yard.

If all else fails, I'll just give him a brick!

"Big brother, we've really messed up this time."

The little blond boy had a long face and looked like he was about to cry.

"You still have the nerve to cry? It's all because you messed up the timing! I, Wang Scarface, have been in the underworld for so long, and I never thought I'd end up being defeated by a young upstart."

Scarface cursed angrily, struggling incessantly, when suddenly his eyes flashed and he felt the rope on his hands loosen slightly.

"This rope... doesn't seem to be tied tightly enough?!"

Looking up at the elderly people in the yard, Scarface took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and suddenly broke free of the rope.

Then, without thinking, he took off running.

Having finally gotten a chance to escape, he didn't want to waste time attacking those old men and women again.

The blond-haired boy immediately yelled, "Wait! Big brother? Where are you going? Help us!"

Scarface acted as if he hadn't heard anything, not even turning his head.

Damn it, what's with all the yelling? Are you trying to make sure everyone knows?

If a younger brother is lost, another can be found, but if I get caught, then everything is over.

"Stop him!"

Grandpa Li shouted, trying to join the other grandpas in the courtyard to stop them, but being old, he was not very agile and couldn't catch up at all.

Zhang Lu, a woman, was terrified and almost peed herself.

Why is this broken rope just like her useless husband, all looks and no substance?

She had just witnessed how ruthless Scarface was; how could she still dare to chase after him?

In the end, everyone in the courtyard could only watch helplessly as Scarface ran out of the yard.

"Oh, what a pity, how did he manage to break free?" Grandpa Li said with a regretful expression.

"Uncle Li, let's tie these up a little tighter so they can't break free too."

Zhang Lu realized what was happening and, together with several elderly men, used rope to tie up the remaining thugs even more tightly.

In the alley, Scarface ran for his life, cursing as he went: "Damn it, I must have forgotten to check the almanac before I left home today, I almost got myself killed! You dared to trick me, I'll definitely come back and kill you later."

"Who do you want to kill?"

Chen Jianming leaped into the alley and blocked the other party's path.

Scarface was horrified, his expression as if he'd seen a ghost: "You...you went to call the police, didn't you? Why are you still haunting me!"

Chen Jianming sneered, "Me, haunted by ghosts? I think you're the one haunted by ghosts, always thinking about stealing my things."

"Yellow-haired guy, you escaped too?"

Scarface was very cunning. He looked behind him and deliberately spoke loudly, trying to trick the other party into turning around, but Chen Jianming ignored him completely.

Seeing that it wasn't working, he lost all will to fight and turned to run away.

He had already experienced the young man's skill firsthand; he was no match for him at all.

"You're already here, do you think you can just leave?"

Chen Jianming raised an eyebrow, used the Cloud Ladder technique, and reappeared in front of Scarface in just a few breaths.

He was too lazy to waste words with the other party, so he went up and kicked him, sending the scarred man flying five or six meters away with a bang, crashing hard into a wall.

"Big brother, can you spare me? I've hidden a lot of money, I'll give it all to you."

Scarface's face contorted in pain as he knelt on the ground with a thud, begging for mercy loudly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly attacked, drawing a dagger and stabbing at the attacker.

"Again?"

Chen Jianming sneered, having anticipated this, and kicked out. With a crisp crack, the scarred man's arm snapped instantly.

Then, amidst the other party's wailing and lamenting, it was directly stored in its spatial storage and buried like a radish.

For no other reason than to nip it in the bud and find out which of the scoundrels have not yet been caught.

If these scoundrels are let go, who knows how many more ordinary people will suffer.

Soon, a memory surfaced in my mind.

Scarface's real name is Wang Scarface. He was originally just an idle hoodlum who got a taste of the thrill of stealing.

At first, they only dared to steal small things, but later they actually gathered a group of vagrants and committed thefts everywhere.

After being caught stealing, he even stabbed some of the victims, the most egregious of whom was a disabled old man in his fifties or sixties.

The disabled old man had no children, and the little money he had left for his old age was also taken away by Wang Scarface and his gang.

In the end, he became so angry that he fell seriously ill and died a few days later.

"No wonder these people are so bold as to commit crimes in broad daylight; they have prior convictions."

Chen Jianming's eyes turned cold. If it were just stealing some money, that would be one thing, but these thugs were simply beasts, utterly devoid of conscience.

My brothers were all caught; not one of them escaped. They were all taken to the hospital and are just waiting for the police to take them away.

Regardless, he did a service to the people and avenged the victims.

In addition, I also remember the place where Wang Scarface and his gang of thugs hid their secret stash of money.

"This is a pleasant surprise."

With his hands behind his back, Chen Jianming went to the police station with a cheerful smile.

In the police station's service hall, Officer Hu was carrying an enamel mug to pour water. Seeing him, he greeted him, "Brother Chen, what brings you here again? Did your house get burgled again?"

Chen Jianming smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother Hu, I have brought you good news this time."

Brother Hu poured a tub of hot water and asked in confusion, "Really? What good news?"

Chen Jianming didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "I caught that group of roving thieves you mentioned last time, and they're in our yard right now."

Brother Hu looked utterly astonished: "What? Really?"

This young man is no more than twenty years old. How could he catch such a fierce thief? He subconsciously had some doubts.

Chen Jianming said with certainty, "Why don't you come with me and take a look? Would I lie to you?"

"That's true."

Brother Hu nodded, refusing to drink any water.

He placed the enamel mug on the table, casually picked up his hat and put it on, then shouted to the two police officers, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, hurry up and drive with me."

They rode in a police car, taking Brother Hu and two young police officers back to the courtyard house.

In the courtyard, Zhang Lu, Grandpa Li, and others, holding rolling pins and flat-topped pans, were warily surrounding the thieves.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Jianming bring the police in.

Zhang Lu looked remorseful: "Xiao Chen, you're finally back. It's all my fault. I wasn't watching you closely enough and that thief leader got away."
