Chapter 104: You Might as Well Pinch Pennies to Death

So!
Five burly men were dancing by the roadside, flaunting their moves!
It attracted quite a crowd of passersby!
Those sparse little stubble patches.
That bouncing potbelly with every jump.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Drew a lot of onlookers, all whipping out their phones to record videos!
"My dear mother! What the hell is this crap!"
"Dancing this in broad daylight? And it's a bunch of grown men?"
"This is truly shameless! What's wrong with this world?"
"Tsk tsk tsk! They're actually pretty professional!"
"I'm freaking puking!"
...

[From Sun Qiang's Resentment Value +1000!]

He had completely lost all face this time!
Good-hearted netizens even posted the video on Weibo.
The views went viral!
The title:
"Shocking Pervert Boy Band Appears on Donglin Street! Pole Dancing Live! Makes Listeners Sick! Makes Viewers Vomit!"
"Fellow citizens, please be cautious when going out!"

They danced for a full half hour before Jiangnan let them go!
He even got 50,000 bucks, didn't keep a single cent, and gave it all to the driver, Master Wang!

Back in the car, the team members couldn't hold back their laughter.
Anning complained, "Boss Nan, what kind of weird hobby is this?"
Jiangnan snickered, "You don't get it! When others are pissed off, I feel great!"
"Driver, to Tianxiu Mall!"
Anning: ???
Su Rui was puzzled, "Why go to the mall? Aren't we on a mission?"
The others also looked confused.
Jiangnan stared at them like they were idiots.
"A mission? How?"
"You're going to Suka Town dressed like this? Fully armed, ready to fight it out?"
"Grabbing back the nuclear warhead? Not only are your heads bald, but you've also got water in your brains, right?"

The team members exchanged glances.
Indeed!
Going like that would be suicide!
Not only would they fail to get it back, but the moment they stepped into Suka Town, they'd be killed!
That place was a den of thieves!
"So what do we do? Got a plan?"
Jiangnan grinned. "From now on! We're members of the Bald Head Gang!"
"I'm your Big Brother!"
"And Sister Ningning and Little Ruirui are Big Brother's women, got it?"

Wang Tie was stunned. "Boss Nan! You mean to disguise ourselves as a domestic underground organization?"
"To infiltrate Suka Town and trade with them?"
At Wang Tie's words, all the team members' eyes lit up!
Earlier, everyone was at their wit's end, completely clueless about this mission!
They never imagined Jiangnan would carry it out like this!

Anning burst out laughing. "Bald Head Gang? Fits the scene perfectly!"
The team members' faces darkened.
Jiangnan had probably planned this all along, tricking them into drinking the Dali tonic.
Chen Chen said, "If you're the Bald Head Gang boss, you've gotta go bald too!"
Jiangnan pouted. "You know what being a Big Brother means? A Big Brother has to be different from the rest!"
Chen Chen replied, "Then why do Anning and Su Rui both have to be your women?"
"Just one would be enough, right?"
He then rubbed his hands together excitedly. "How about you give me Anning?"
Anning wrapped her arm around Jiangnan's neck and snapped, "Pfft! Shameless!"
Chen Chen: ???
Jiangnan roared, "Hah! You bastard! How dare you mess with Big Brother's woman!"
"Get him!"
Chen Chen: !!!
You bastard!
You're already in character?
Am I too serious, or are you in too deep?

The Dark Night Army squad that came out of Tianxiu Mall was dressed uniformly!
Shiny bald heads!
Tank tops and board shorts!
Gold chains and small watches!
Reflective shades and floral shirts!
And each one wore a pair of flip-flops!
Meanwhile, Anning was in white skinny jeans and a crop top.
Her big wavy hair gave off a mature vibe.
Su Rui, petite and cute, was dressed like a fashionable college girl!

As the group walked down the street, Jiangnan had his arms around Anning and Su Rui's slender waists, his face beaming with pride!
He walked with a swagger!
A huge swagger!
Nostrils in the air, looking like he had reached the pinnacle of life!

The team members, usually restrained by discipline, now felt totally uncomfortable all over.
Chen Chen, as a veteran, had no trouble blending in.
Wang Tie couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, how do we act like underground criminal elements?"
The others also looked at him, seeking advice.
"Yeah, Brother Chen, share some tips!"
"Mmm, I feel like we're too stiff."

Chen Chen raised an eyebrow. "You see Jiangnan over there?"
Everyone nodded.
"Just tone it down a little, and you'll be good!"
Wang Tie: ???
Team Members: ???
What the hell?
Tone it down?
Does that mean Jiangnan is even more criminal than the actual underground criminals right now?
They took another look at Jiangnan's swagger, utterly oblivious to everyone else?
Alright, better tone it down!
Otherwise, they might get beaten up!

...

At the train station's McDangdang Burger Joint.
The group ordered a huge table of food, wolfing it down like starving wolves! The momentum was astonishing!
Other passengers saw Jiangnan's table and refused to enter the store!
The waitress, barely holding back her fear, stepped forward and said, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. "Anything?"
Pretty waitress: "Yes! Whatever you need, just say it."
Jiangnan: "Then... can you pay for me?"
Pretty waitress: ???
In all my years as a waitress, I've never heard such an unreasonable request!
Pay for your meal?
Listen to yourself! Is that even human speech?
[From Liu Shuang's Resentment Value +1000!]

The team members' faces darkened!
Is this the style of the Bald Head Gang boss?
Anning slapped the back of Jiangnan's head!
"Can you be any stingier?"
Jiangnan pouted.
She was the one who said anything was fine!
Hmph!
Liar!

After paying the bill, Jiangnan led the group to the platform to buy tickets.
"Ten tickets for Suka South Station in Russia!"
"Oh, and make them hard seats!"
Chen Chen and the others: !!!
42 hours on a green train!
And you want hard seats?
They thought they'd fly, or drive across the border themselves!
Or some other high-end method!
But Jiangnan brought them to take the cheapest train?
And freaking hard seats?

Chen Chen couldn't take it anymore and snapped, "Didn't Mountain Cat give you an operations fund?"
Jiangnan: "I got it!"
"Then don't be so stingy with it!"
Jiangnan glared. "That's Mountain Cat's money for me! What's it got to do with you guys?"
Chen Chen: ???
Anning and Su Rui: ???
Team Members: ...

"Hello, sir, that'll be 18,006 yuan in total!"
Jiangnan was stunned. "Damn! That expensive!"
Then he remembered he had a military ID that could get a discount.
But then he thought, if he pulled out the military ID, wouldn't that blow their cover?
"Uh... I have a student ID! I'm a student! Can I get a discount?"
Anning and the others covered their faces.
Enough already!
Do you absolutely have to get a discount on this?

The ticket lady was stunned. "You're a student?"
She couldn't help but look him up and down.
Gold chain, small watch, arms around two beauties.
A student?
Do students look like that?
"I'm sorry, sir, you don't really look like one."
Jiangnan got angry!
Damn! What part of him didn't look like a student?
But he held back and said, "How about rounding it down for us ten people?"
The ticket lady looked troubled.
Anning covered her face. "Just round it down for him, or we'll never get out of here."
The ticket lady sighed, deciding she'd cover the six yuan herself.
She'd seen it all today.
"Alright then."
Jiangnan cheered up. "Hehe! Thanks! 1,806, right? I'll pay now!"
Ticket lady: ???
Su Rui: ???
Team Members: ???
You bastard!
You're rounding from the middle?
You really know how to round!
From 18,006 to 1,806?
Cutting off over ten thousand?
Anning completely lost it!
She pulled out a bank card from her purse. "Use mine!"
The group instinctively distanced themselves from Jiangnan.
How freaking embarrassing!
You might as well pinch pennies to death!
"Hehe! Sister Ningning is the best!"
