Chapter 446: The Dilemma of the Food Stalls
"Guo Taipei is currently in the limelight is very strong, it can be said that the wind and rain are calling for wind and rain under the river, we have to avoid its edge, but under the current high pressure, Guo Taipei is not able to cover the sky with one hand, he wants to cooperate with the other two people, more will use its Jianghu forces, and will not use the regular army, which is also good news for us, the Jianghu forces are not much of a threat to us. Liu Chen clearly analyzed the current situation and the next response actions, although he has been in a state of "suspended animation", but in the shadows, his actions are not degraded compared to before, but can grasp the initiative anytime and anywhere, and get the truth behind the scenes when people are unprepared.
Qi Dongsi, Wu Sheng, and Ji Zhiyuan listened carefully to Liu Chen's analysis and explanation, and at this moment, they all surrounded Liu Chen and obeyed his command.
After analyzing the current situation, Liu Chen concluded: "In general, I am responsible for finding out Dong Tianhua, Qi Dongsi and Uncle Yan dealing with the old man, Wu Sheng and Xiao Zhi, your existence will not attract the attention of the city bureau, so you two pay more attention to Guo Taipei's actions, he is in the dark, and there should be no problem to find out his actions, right?"
"No problem, we'll leave this to us. Wu Sheng and Ji Zhiyuan accepted Liu Chen's arrangement without hesitation and confidence.
"Okay, then it's arranged, Qi Dongsi, do you have anything else to say?" Liu Chen looked at Qi Dongsi opposite, he rarely spoke throughout the whole process, in Liu Chen's heart, Qi Dongsi was also one of the decision-makers, because there were two people, Chen Ziqiang and Feng Jun.
Qi Dongsi thought for a while and said, "I have no other opinions, just do as you say, but my only request is that after finding Dong Tianhua, I will deal with him personally." ”
Liu Chen understood what Qi Dongsi meant, as a person who was extremely interested in brotherhood, he was the most unbearable to bear the betrayal of his brother, Dong Tianhua and Qi Dongsi had a very close relationship at the beginning, and later Dong Tianhua did not hesitate to betray his brother because of personal interests, this is the most unacceptable thing for Qi Dongsi, he is now full of anger towards Dong Tianhua, he does not allow the person who betrayed him to live in this world, let alone the person who wants to kill him to live in this world, which is similar to Liu Chen.
"This is no problem, as long as there is Dong Tianhua's whereabouts, I will inform you as soon as possible. Liu Chen easily satisfied Qi Dongsi's small request.
That's all there was to discuss this time, and after it was over, Wu Sheng proposed that everyone go for a drink together to celebrate the reunion with Liu Chen. Liu Chen and Ji Zhiyuan gladly accepted, but Qi Dongsi said that he was not with everyone anymore, and he needed to go back to take care of Feng Jun, after all, Feng Jun was still lying on the hospital bed, and he didn't have much to focus on celebrating.
Qi Dongsi said goodbye to everyone in advance and left, after he went downstairs, he came to the door of the billiards room to take a look, there were still a few children playing there, Chen Qi and Zhang Yun before, had already left, looked at the time, it was not too late, so he walked in.
The little girl at the front desk was watching a movie on the computer, and when she saw Qi Dongsi coming, she hurriedly got up and asked, "Are you done talking?"
Qi Dongsi nodded, and asked with a smile: "Well, the conversation is over, have those children finished playing?
"After you're gone, they don't play anymore and play separately. ”
"Oh, did they pay then?"
The little girl kept nodding and said, "I paid for it, and I paid more than usual, saying that it was to make up for the money I didn't pay before." ”
This one was quite surprising to Qi Dongsi, and of course he was very satisfied: "Hehe, these children are quite cute." Okay, then you go ahead and watch the movie, I'm gone. ”
"Okay, go slowly. The little girl waved at Qi Dongsi.
After Qi Dongsi left, Liu Chen chatted with Wu Sheng and Ji Zhiyuan for a while, and then he was still ready to go out for supper. They drove to the city, thinking about where to go for supper along the way, when Liu Chen suggested: "Let's go and eat over there, I haven't been there for a long time." ”
After Liu Chen finished speaking, he stopped his gaze on Wu Sheng's face, he knew that Wu Sheng was interested in Tang Xi's poems of people coming and going from the food stalls, and this was the purpose.
Wu Sheng nodded again and again, Liu Chen's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, but to be honest, Wu Sheng hadn't been to a crowded food stall for a long time, during Liu Chen's absence, if he wanted to drink, he would go to the Starlight Bar to be with Ji Zhiyuan, and he also wanted to see Tang Xishi, the girl who made his heart move.
Wu Sheng drove the car to the food stalls, he was very familiar with all corners of the city, where his goddess was, he was naturally not unfamiliar, thinking that he was going to see the goddess later, he was a little excited, he stepped on the accelerator.
But Wu Sheng may have been too excited, driving a little fast, and suddenly the sound of a police car sounded behind him, and Liu Chen and they saw a police motorcycle chasing them through the rearview mirror.
"Why are the police here so late?" asked Liu Chen in surprise.
Wu Sheng replied: "It's been like this for the past few days, although there is less police during the day, but there are more at night. ”
After Liu Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, he said, "Wu Sheng, speed up and find an intersection to stop, and then I'll get rid of them." ”
Wu Sheng sped up, ignoring the warning from the police car behind him, and at the next intersection, Liu Chen asked Wu Sheng and Ji Zhiyuan to get out of the car, "You two take a taxi to go to people and people, and I will solve the persistent policeman." ”
Liu Chen changed into the driver's seat, skillfully operated the gear and throttle, and ran at high speed on the route he was familiar with, he knew which intersections in the urban area of Jiangxia had taken pictures and which intersections would measure the speed.
Under the driving of Liu Chen, the car was like a barracuda shuttling through the traffic coming and going, and under the cover of various vehicles, he quickly threw the police car away, he came to a hidden place and stopped, and then took a taxi to the crowded food stall.
When Liu Chen arrived, Wu Sheng and Ji Zhiyuan were waiting for him under a billboard, and after the rendezvous, the three of them walked to the crowded food stalls together. When I walked there, I found that the business was very deserted, and the boss Tang Mingzhen and his daughter Tang Xishi were sitting in the house chatting, looking not in a very good mental state, and their brows were tightly locked.
Liu Chen took the lead in going up to greet them: "Uncle Tang, Miss Tang!"
As soon as they saw that it was Liu Chen and others coming, they hurriedly stood up and greeted them: "Hey, you guys are here, I haven't seen you for a long time, come on, come on, come into the house and sit." ”
Tang Mingzhen's father and daughter didn't know what happened to Liu Chen before, so when they saw Liu Chen, they didn't show a shocked look, but more of a sense of familiarity that they hadn't seen for a long time.
Tang Xishi greeted them with a smile: "Brother Liu, Brother Wu Sheng, Xiao Zhi, welcome!" She led a few of them into their seats, and then made them tea.
Wu Sheng took Tang Xishi's tea, and accidentally touched his fingers, making his heart flutter and jump quickly, he nodded hurriedly and thanked: "Thank you!"
Tang Xishi then sat down opposite him, but this unintentional move made Wu Sheng excited, facing his goddess so closely, Wu Sheng almost didn't dare to look up, for fear that Tang Xishi would see that he was secretly obsessed with love in his heart.
Liu Chen glanced at the door, there were more than a dozen tables of stalls, only two tables were dining, compared to the newly opened food stall on the side, it was almost full of guests, which made him very puzzled: "Uncle Tang, isn't the food stall business bad recently?"
Speaking of the recent business, Tang Mingzhen and Tang Xishi all lowered their heads gloomily, Tang Mingzhen shook his head and sighed: "Alas, speaking of which, it is commercial competition." ”
"Is it the new one next to the commercial competition?" Liu Chen asked, looking at the newly opened lively food stalls on the side.
Tang Mingzhen nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, if it is normal business competition, I won't complain about anything, but the owner of this newly opened food stall is not kind, have you seen those people? They are hired by the owner to watch the market, they will maliciously compete for our guests, often see that our business is good, they will try their best to drive away our guests, so that our reputation is very poor, except for some old customers, few people come to our store for supper." After saying the bitterness and troubles in his heart, Tang Ming really shook his head.
Tang Xishi on the side said aggrievedly: "My dad has negotiated with them many times in the past, but it didn't work, and once they even beat him out of the store." ”
"How can this be reasonable, is this really a human thing?" Wu Sheng was the first to come out in a rage, clenching his fists and wanting to fight for his goddess.
Tang Xishi continued: "The boss also said that either we will cooperate with them and pay them 10,000 yuan a month for protection, or we will maintain the current state, 10,000 yuan, and the business will be okay if it is better, but if the business is worse, we will not even be able to protect the capital." ”
Tang Mingzhen shook his head and sighed: "Yes, I don't agree with their cooperation plan, so they often find people to smash the field, hey." ”
Liu Chen asked casually, "Then didn't you call the police?"
Tang Mingzhen shook his head again and again, "I have reported to the police, it's useless, this boss has a very strong background, the police also have connections, and the police station has been here several times, but it's like a guest, some talk and laugh, we don't have a background here, we can only endure being bullied by them, hey, we can't afford to provoke this kind of person." He lowered his head in frustration, and Tang Xishi on the other side also looked helpless and sad.
Liu Chen probably already knew the difficulties that Tang Mingzhen's father and daughter were facing now, they were bullied by bullies, as long as it was not an official force, this kind of ruffian bully could be easily solved for them, but he was not in a hurry to express his position.
"Uncle Tang, I'll help you talk about this matter when the time comes, I have people I know in this area, don't worry, it's okay, you just have to do business with peace of mind, don't worry about other things. Liu Chen comforted Tang Mingzhen's father and daughter so much, trying to downplay the impact of this incident on them.
