Chapter 0329 - Falling Short

Pumpkin and Halloween, the phrase 'make trouble if you don't give sugar' is probably familiar to everyone who has watched American dramas.

But in the 20th century, in 1931, this activity was actually not popular.

Especially in the context of the Great Depression, some cash-strapped young people gathered in an organized way to commit vandalism and crime targeting the community.

According to last year's statistics, the pumpkin festival caused more than $100,000 in damage to a single community in some large cities.

"We need to do something to prepare. Li Zitao didn't want to spoil the children's fun, provided that it was safe to do so.

It feels terrible to use an exaggerated prepared cape, hide a submachine gun, and then pretend to be an adult accompanying the child.

"It's like a soldier lurking into the enemy camp, and you've ruined the festive mood. Adelai Id grumbled with a wry smile.

"At least they don't know yet. Facing Nunu, the child who was running in front of him, he still thought that these precautions were necessary.

Because under the condition of celebrating the 'Neil lawsuit', Li Zitao found that the mounted police on the road had not appeared for a long time.

It may be that large crowds have gathered in the center of the city or elsewhere, and the mounted police have been drawn to maintain law and order.

It also means that the safety factor here is reduced, and after experiencing several shootings, a sense of crisis is always with him.

Although the most lethal one came from his self-directed and self-acting.

But in the eyes of a normal person, he should be vigilant enough to appear normal enough.

Wearing masks and capes, follow the children to each house and ask for candy.

Thanks to the fact that the people living here are rich or upper-middle-class, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Except for a few people who showed a hint of surprise when they saw Eric.

Thankfully, this is the North, in the South where slavery was abolished, and the Native Land Laws, or segregation, made it impossible for blacks to enter white neighborhoods.

"Eric, you should say thank you. Adellaid shouted as she stood outside the lawn at the door.

The point is not just 'thank you,' she's explaining the fact to the strange-looking crowd, "They're my kids, you should be careful with your every move." ”

......

......

The expected troubles did not arise, and the children had a good time.

Maybe it's because people are immersed in the joy of 'defending freedom'.

Li Zitao is also very satisfied with this, and making a protection plan does not mean that he wants to see danger happen.

It is precisely because he does not want to see danger that he makes such an arrangement.

The Halloween carnival was over, and the BMW 309 series was officially on sale, and he didn't pay much attention to the specific sales situation.

He is more concerned about the new oil fields that can quickly bring huge profits than the automobile industry, which is still a young seedling.

At a depth of 2,400 meters, drilling has never been more difficult than ever.

Never before had anyone been able to drill to such depths, and every step of the way they had to be careful to revise the plan and develop new plans to ensure the safety of the personnel.

In the event of casualties, countless human rights organizations may jump out and chant all sorts of slogans to make it impossible for the drilling operation to continue.

Every second of delay is a serious loss for him.

Don't forget that he's still a debt-ridden man, waiting for money to pay his debts!

......

......

Huaguo, Mingzhu, Fangbang Middle Road, a negotiation is underway.

"Boss Gu, I know you took the money, but Zhang Xiaolin once saved my life. Mr. Du sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, picked up the teacup and lowered his head to blow the tea leaves on the surface.

"Mr. Du, I don't need to say this when I am entrusted with loyalty, right?" To this day, Gu Rumao regretted it a little.

In terms of those who can fight and kill under his hands, his power is no worse than anyone else.

But now Mr. Du, Golden Tooth and Zhang Xiaolin, the three of them twisted into a rope and kept putting pressure on him.

Don't say that he's a 'tycoon in northern Jiangsu,' even a pearl tycoon can't bear it!

"Everyone is gone, who is entrusted by you?" Mr. Du covered the tea cup and looked at him with a smile.

Mr. Du is as tall as an ordinary person, his body is very thin, and few people want to be a coolie outside.

But it was this man who was as thin as a bamboo pole and looked like no threat, and the pressure brought to him was like a mountain and a sea overturning, and he was overwhelmed.

"Mr. Du, this is a thing that makes me do what I say without trust, although I Gu Rumao has never studied, but I still know how to write the word Xinyi. ”

Gu Rumao has been able to get to this day, not only because of his courage and fists, but also because of his credibility.

When you say it, you spit it out a pit, and it is a sound.

This will make him collect money and not do anything, and his reputation will be greatly damaged, which is not something that money can buy back.

"I will ask Zhang Xiaolin to publicly apologize in the newspaper, and send someone to send 10,000 silver dollars to your house, and this matter will end here?"

Although it was an inquiring tone, Mr. Du's expression was a domineering 'I have the final say on this matter'.

Gu Rumao was naturally dissatisfied, but he also knew the other party.

If he continues to insist on his opinion, the final result will be a fierce fight between the two sides, and no one will want to have a good life.

“...... Good. Gu Rumao thought about it again and again, but nodded and agreed.

Even if his face was terrifyingly dark, he really couldn't bear it, and before taking over this matter, he didn't expect that Mr. Du would maintain Zhang Xiaolin to such an extent.

Moreover, he sent 3 waves of people before, wanting to take the opportunity to kill the other party when Zhang Xiaolin went out.

Who knows that every time it comes to the end, none of his people come back.

There were rumors before that Zhang Xiaolin could fight, but now it seems that the rumors are not false at all, "The blame can only be blamed on the people under him for being too useless." ”

"Happy. Mr. Du clapped his hands, and Zhang Xiaolin, who was hiding behind the screen, came out.

As he walked forward past the window, a 'bang' gunshot, Zhang Xiaolin's temple was pierced by a bullet, and his eyes were frozen with resentment.

Boom.

The corpse fell heavily to the ground, and the knife that was like an invisible man before could block in front of Mr. Du, and his subordinates quickly closed the window.

"Well, this is not someone I arranged. Gu Rumao said very unexpectedly.

"I knew I went first. Mr. Du smiled a little ugly, but he still let people take Zhang Xiaolin's body and leave the teahouse quickly.

"Sir, do you want to chase?" Knife sat in the co-pilot, his eyes looking around vigilantly.

"Forget it. He rubbed his temples a little tiredly, he was still thinking about how to save Zhang Xiaolin before, and he was already thinking about how to swallow his property and territory.

He wanted to save Zhang Xiaolin, not only because the other party had saved his life, but also because it also meant from Golden Tooth and some people.

He did everything he could, personally negotiated with Gu Rumao, and gave Consul General Y a dot, and the cost of dotting up and down was also not small.

But a bullet from the other party made his efforts come to naught, and this Chinese marquis was much more ruthless than he imagined.

The next thing is to see if the police can find someone, and if they can't find anyone in the end, he will have to consider whether he needs to call.
