Chapter 16: Her True Colors

Pang Jindong looked back and found a man with an axle standing behind him, with dark skin and a fierce face, with four or five young men in their early twenties behind him, all of whom were full of Jianghu spirit.

Pang Jindong didn't look at the road when he stepped back, and almost hit him.

A person behind the axle man stepped forward, looked at Pang Jindong and said, raised his chin and said arrogantly: "You bumped into my eldest brother just now, take two thousand yuan to come out and treat my eldest brother!"

Before Pang Jindong could speak, Lin Peiwen rushed over, opened her bow left and right at the person who spoke, and scolded at the same time: "You are so blind, anyone dares to ask for money!"

When the axle man saw Lin Peiwen, his arrogance suddenly became half shorter, and he said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, I didn't know this was your friend!"

The man who had been beaten covered his face and stepped aside, not even daring to say a word, and the others involuntarily took a few steps back.

Lin Peiwen, who was ashamed like a kitten under Pang Jindong's harassment just now, was as fierce as a tigress in front of these people, forming a wonderful contrast before and after, and at this time this is the other side of Lin Peiwen.

Usually in front of Pang Jindong, most of the time, she still pretends to be a lady, although she doesn't pretend to work very hard, and the effect is not very good, but after all, she still pretends to be.

Lin Peiwen turned around and asked Pang Jindong: "Are you hurt?" If you don't feel well, let him give you a few thousand yuan for the soup and medicine!"

"It's nothing...... Pang Jindong shook his head and said with a smile: "I was too careless just now!"

Lin Peiwen glanced at Pang Jindong and told the axle man and his gang: "Take out all the money in your pocket!"

The axle man and his subordinates didn't dare to delay for a moment, took out all the money, and handed it over to Lin Peiwen tremblingly.

Lin Peiwen found that it was about more than 600 yuan, and immediately scolded: "How the hell are you poor ghosts?" After a pause, Lin Peiwen added: "In addition to condoms and keys, take out all the valuable things on your body!"

The axle man smiled wryly, rummaged through all his pockets, and handed over the collected things to Lin Peiwen.

Pang Jindong saw that these people really didn't mix well, there were no things like famous watches, and the most valuable thing on them was mobile phones.

But Lin Peiwen knew these people very well, and with a sneer, she put her hand into the collar of the axle man, pulled it out, and pulled out a gold necklace the thickness of her thumb.

Seeing this, the others knew that something was wrong, and without waiting for Lin Peiwen to make a move, they took the initiative to hand over the jewelry and necklace on their bodies to Lin Peiwen.

Lin Peiwen held this pile of things and shook them in front of the axle man: "Dare to lie to me?"

The axle man almost cried: "This ...... It's a fake ......"

"Bring a fake to swagger through the market, don't embarrass the Star Dragon Gang!" Lin Peiwen returned the bits and pieces to the axle man and others, and the money was stuffed to Pang Jindong, and then waved his hand at those people: "It's okay, get out!"

The axle man led a few of his subordinates and walked away, and the incident just now probably caused them a great shock, so after walking away a few steps, they immediately whispered, and some of the words drifted into Pang Jindong's ears with the wind.

The guy who was beaten asked the axle man in a low voice: "Boss, who is this kid, Miss Lin is so protective?"

The axle man is not qualified to participate in the high-level meeting of the gang, so he has never been to Pang Jindong's house, nor has he met Pang Jindong and his people in the past.

But in front of his subordinates, he didn't want to make himself appear ignorant, and he had to pretend to be of a high status in the gang.

He glanced at the subordinate and scolded: "Fuck, you really care about a lot of things, can you also ask about Miss Lin's affairs, if you have nothing to do, go back and count how many hairs your horse has!"

Although the axle man pretended to be annoyed, he still showed timidity, so that his men could see that he didn't really know anything.

Therefore, what he said just now did not cause any deterrence, and his subordinates began to talk about it.

"Did you say this kid was wrapped up by Miss Lin to play?"

"Miss Lin hasn't even had a boyfriend, how could she do such a thing?"

"No boyfriend doesn't mean that there is no need for that, it's good to have a man to play for a while, and get rid of it when you're done! But it's impossible to wrap that kid, look at his decrepit face!"

"If that's the case, we'll all have a chance, hehe......"

Seeing that his subordinates didn't take him seriously, the axle man gave everyone a shudder, and then scolded him in a low voice.

A few people gradually drifted away, and they couldn't hear anything anymore, Pang Jindong looked down at his clothes, and he could understand why he was looked down upon by those people.

Lin Peiwen's ears are not as sensitive as Pang Jindong, but at this time, she noticed something, and thought of going with those little brothers: "I said how do you dress like this, how do you say that you are also a billionaire, you should dress decently!"

"Does a billionaire have to be written on his face?"

"It doesn't have to be written on the face, at least it should be worn on the body, worthy of your own identity and status!" Lin Peiwen glanced up and down at Pang Jindong's outfit, and joked with a smile: "You've been wearing this dress for about ten years, right?"

"It's been a few years, but it's not broken after all, so why can't you wear it?!"

"I know you want to keep a low profile, but there's no need to pretend to be a grandson......

Lin Peiwen's analogy was a bit excessive, but Pang Jindong didn't say anything annoyed: "I'm pretending to be a grandson, I'm happy!" Pang Jindong said, handing over the money to Lin Peiwen: "You should keep the money yourself!"

"This is compensation for you!" After a pause, Lin Peiwen added: "I know you don't lack this money, but what I want is face!"

While the two of them were arguing, they walked into a bar called "Xhosa", and Lin Peiwen told Pang Jindong: " The business on the bar street is divided into two categories, one is the business of the Star Dragon Gang, or it is directly operated by the Star Dragon Group, or it is the private property of a certain boss; the other is to pay protection money to the Star Dragon Gang, this category is also divided into two types, one is to pay a lot of money, we send a group of brothers there to watch the scene, and the other is to pay less money, we usually don't send people there, only send people to solve problems when there is something. ”

"What kind of place does this belong to?" Pang Jindong glanced at it and found that there was nothing special about this bar.

"Belong to the latter of the latter type, pay us 10,000 yuan a month, our people are not usually here, if there is something to do, call the boss of this ground. ”

"It's only 10,000 yuan...... Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and felt disapproving: "You guys have worked hard enough to earn this money!"

"Of course, is it easy for us to make this money, but many people just don't understand!" Pang Jindong's words aroused Lin Peiwen's emotion, and she talked endlessly about how difficult it is to be an underworld.

Pang Jindong, who was full of worries, and Lin Peiwen, who was full of bitterness, sat down by the bar, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes ran over in small steps, and stretched out his hands to Lin Peiwen with a smile: "Miss Lin, how can you have time to enjoy the shop!"

A store like "Xhosa" would not have had the opportunity to meet the boss of the Star Dragon Gang, but Lin Peiwen had entertained friends here a few times, so she had a few encounters with the manager here.

Lin Peiwen shook hands with the other party and said coldly: "Manager Zhang, have you paid this month's protection fee?"

"I have already sent it over, on time and on point, and it is a lot of money!"

"Starting next month, the protection fee will rise to 20,000 yuan!"

"Huh?" Manager Zhang's face twitched a few times, and he hurriedly said, "This...... Isn't it a little too high......"

"It's not high, the price of what is not rising, is it possible that our Star Dragon Gang will provide cheap services?"

Lin Peiwen is telling the truth, the price of pork is rising all the way now, and the same is true for other commodities, which has led to the price of the ladies who sell meat.

However, in such a place full of ambiguous relationships between men and women, Lin Peiwen's use of the word "service" glorifies the act of forcibly collecting protection money, but it also makes people have some other associations.

Manager Zhang didn't dare to think anything wrong, so he could only look at Lin Peiwen's cold face and swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said in a very tactful tone: "Our business is not good now......

", don't think I don't know what's going on with you here, the benefits of each month are very good, 20,000 yuan a month is nothing to you. The price of 20,000 yuan is already based on our long-term cooperation and very good relationship. ”

"But now the economic crisis ......"

Lin Peiwen impatiently interrupted Manager Zhang's words: "Say it quickly, don't you want to pay? If you don't pay the protection fee, you won't be protected!"

What Lin Peiwen's words meant, Manager Zhang's heart was very clear, and cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer Lin Peiwen, a voice suddenly interjected: "You didn't protect us in the first place!"

The person who spoke was the bartender at the bar, standing at the back of the bar, trying to pretend to be nonchalant and staring at Lin Peiwen, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Lin Peiwen turned her gaze to the bartender, smiled and asked, "Are you not satisfied with our protection?"

"It's not ......" The bartender cheered up and told Lin Peiwen: "We often have trouble here during this time......"

"Don't say it!" Manager Zhang interrupted the bartender and scolded, "Go when you're busy!"

"That's right, aren't you a bartender, you should go and greet the guests, I can't talk to the manager before you interject!" Lin Peiwen's face showed a sweeter smile, but at the same time, it brought out a murderous aura, making the bartender involuntarily take two steps back.

Manager Zhang secretly looked at Lin Peiwen, and then repeated to the bartender: "Go ahead!"

The bartender regretted his recklessness just now, and when he heard Manager Zhang's words, he was about to turn around and leave, but he was immediately stopped by Lin Peiwen: "Wait!"

The bartender forced out a smile: "What's the matter?"

"I've been sitting here for a long time, and I haven't seen you come to greet me!"

"Oh......" The bartender was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "May I ask Boss Lin what to drink?"

Lin Peiwen laughed twice and replied, "Bring me two taels of red stars and two pots!"

Probably because the bar culture is from abroad, the bar generally sells foreign wine, and even if there is occasionally a national liquor, it is all high-end products such as Moutai or Wuliangye, so Lin Peiwen's request is really shocking.

The bartender originally wanted to tell Lin Peiwen "no", but he didn't dare to really say it, so he could only stand there stupidly and didn't know what to say.

Lin Peiwen slapped the table vigorously and shouted impatiently: "Why are you stunned?

The bartender smiled bitterly twice, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I...... We don't have a red star two...... Pot head ......."

Lin Peiwen laughed exaggeratedly, and her tone was equally exaggerated: "How do you become a bartender......? How dare you say no, our Lady?"

Manager Zhang peeked at Lin Peiwen, and told the bartender in a hurry: "Go buy it immediately, don't go quickly!"

"Oh...... Go right away!" the bartender nodded hurriedly, and ran away with a puff of smoke.

Manager Zhang first looked at the back of the bartender and breathed a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath, turned to Lin Peiwen and said, "He just came, don't mind Miss Lin!"

Lin Peiwen looked at Manager Zhang coldly, and put away the kind of smile that made people worry, but her tone became softer: "What I really mind is that I need a bartender to sue me for something, don't forget that I am dealing with you Manager Zhang, not the bartender!"

Manager Zhang nodded again and again: "Yes...... It's ......"

"Listen to the bartender, it looks like something has happened here lately!"

Something did happen at the Cosa Bar recently, and Manager Zhang saw Lin Peiwen coming, and wanted to say it directly, but he didn't know how to speak.

The bartender's words just now made Lin Peiwen take the initiative to realize something, and Manager Zhang could take the opportunity to explain it.

Since a week ago, almost every once in a while, a few thugs have come to the Xhosa bar, either refusing to pay for the case on the pretext that they have found a foreign object in the wine, or harassing the female customers with extreme recklessness, and every time they will stir up the bar into a mess.

In this case, Manager Zhang naturally wanted to find the Xinglong Gang to settle the matter, but every time before the Xinglong Gang arrived, these people would immediately disappear.

And they don't come every day, and the people who come are different every time, so it's impossible to remember faces at all.

Although the Xhosa Bar is not a key target for protection, something that happens needs to be completely resolved by the Star Dragon Gang.

Just before Lin Peiwen came, Manager Zhang was planning to discuss with the boss of this area, and temporarily send a few people to squat here until the troublemakers were caught.
