Chapter 9: The Covenant of the White Tiger Gang
The next day, the gang reappeared at the store. Because there was no one to help when it happened yesterday, and Zhao Jincai was the first, they were bound to win.
Li Feng remembered Shen Suzhen's confession, don't have any more disputes, that is, in terms of the amount of money, strive to pay less. He said to the man in charge, "If you ask for an annual fee, you should say hello beforehand, so that we can be prepared." It's almost the end of the year, we have a lot of food, and you suddenly have to add money, and it's a little difficult to turn around for a while..."
The leader interrupted his speech, raised his head and said, "Who doesn't know that you make a lot of money in a year." It was polite enough to hurt one of my brothers yesterday and not let you lose money today. ”
Li Feng was not bluffed, he said: "We seem to be very busy with the business committee, but in fact, the profit is very low, and we only need to make a few dollars by running more errands." Sometimes, in order to recoup the funds, you have to do a business that loses money. In addition to expenses, I can't accumulate much money in a year. You see, the boss and the proprietress were beaten and hospitalized, and a lot of money was spent. I also have injuries on my body, because you guys have to come, so I didn't go to the hospital. That's two hundred dollars. ”
The man looked at Li Feng carefully and said, "Little brother, my brother should have been beaten by you, he is not bold or young." Okay, seeing that you have good courage, let's make friends, you take a hundred yuan out, and we'll settle it. ”
Li Feng said: "Thank you for raising your noble hand, I will take the money from Miss, please wait for a while." ”
Li Feng walked into the back room and asked Zhao Yingdi to take 80 yuan, and then took the money outside and said: "This big brother, there are only 90 yuan left in the store, I will give you 80, and the remaining 10 yuan will have to see a doctor and celebrate the New Year." If you don't think it's okay, then I'll go with you and work for you to use the twenty dollars. ”
The man stared at Li Feng and said, "Okay, I'll take eighty, you come to my place tonight and do something for me, even if it's the top twenty." Do you have the guts?"
Having said this, Li Feng had no way out, so he stubbornly said: "Okay, as long as you don't let me do anything hurtful, I'll come over at night." The man said, "Rejoice, then it will be a word." After saying that, he waved his hand and walked away with someone.
Zhao Yingdi heard the gang leave in the back room, so she eagerly came out and said to Li Feng, "Are you really going there at night?"
Li Feng saw that her eyes were a little red, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "I am a manly doctor, and I am difficult to chase after my words." Besides, it's not Longtan Tiger's Den, what are you afraid of. It's just that when we go to the hospital, you don't mention it, so that they don't worry. Zhao Yingdi nodded.
When he arrived at the hospital, Li Feng reported the incident to Zhao Jincai and his wife, but concealed the appointment for the evening.
Zhao Jinchang said happily: "After being beaten, I saved 120 yuan, which is quite cost-effective." Shen Suzhen glanced at him and said, "I know how to calculate money all day long, but I forgot to be injured like this." He turned his head to Li Feng and said, "It's been hard work for you in the past two days." Save where you can save money, and don't be too economical where you should use it. ”
Li Feng nodded and said, "It's hard work, I am very happy that you can treat me as your own." As for how the money is used, I will be measured, and I will definitely not come nonsense. ”
Shen Suzhen was very relieved to see him so sensible. I wanted to say a few words to my daughter again, but suddenly saw her silently watching Li Feng. She was from the past, and she could understand what this look meant, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Zhao Jincai: "The store needs someone to take care of it, Li Feng wants to run outside, I'm afraid that Yingying can't take care of it alone, if I don't find a caretaker in the hospital to take care of you, I'll go back to the store." ”
Zhao Jincai immediately understood his wife's concerns, he said: "That's fine, anyway, the injury is not very serious, just find someone to deliver food." ”
After arranging the hospital, Shen Suzhen went back to the store with Li Feng and Zhao Yingdi. She had been thinking for the past two days that if everyone from the nearby shops had come forward, the situation would have been different. But these people only care about their immediate interests, and only care about their own interests. The so-called fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, they should understand this truth, but no one stood up.
Reflect on yourself again, this time the White Tiger Gang is bound to win, and if they refuse to pay the money first, they will definitely kill chickens to show the monkeys. The husband seemed cowardly at first, and he was right. After so many years of doing business, I have long seen through the cold state of the world, the indifference of people, and the government that doesn't know what to do, and rebellion means that my family is fighting against the White Tiger Gang. The mantis arm is used as a car, making senseless sacrifices. The husband saw very clearly at this juncture that there was no good way out except to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
She couldn't help but secretly blame herself for making things so bad, but there must be gains, and Li Feng showed bravery and wisdom that did not match his age throughout the incident, as well as the shrewdness that her husband had learned. This allowed her to find a second support point in this shop, and this support point may leave the first support point far behind in the future, and she is very happy now.
Shen Suzhen said: "It's dark, you are also tired in the past two days, rest early." ”
Li Feng was about to go out for an appointment, but he couldn't say it, and when he lowered his head and thought about how to say it, Zhao Yingdi spoke: "Li Feng, if you work harder, go to the tin shop and let them make two more wine jugs." In the afternoon, someone came to ask that the store was gone, and I asked him to pick it up tomorrow. Go early and return early, and stay safe. ”
She didn't want Li Feng to go to the appointment in her heart, but she couldn't let him lose his credit. The most important thing is that she has a feeling that he must have the ability to resolve the crisis and come back safely.
Li Feng knew that Zhao Yingdi had made an excuse for him, and said, "Okay, I'll go now, you guys should rest early and close the door." ”
Li Feng went out and tightened his clothes, the weather was very cold, and the wind blowing on the Huangpu River carried a bitter taste, which made him gasp. He didn't have a self-defense weapon with him, and he knew that a person could go there with or without a pistol, unless there were twenty repeating pistols. You can only fight them with wisdom, but it really can't work, then you can only have your mace, and I have my heavenly spirit cover.
The entrance of the White Tiger Gang is at the wharf, and the location is well chosen, with one side by the river and three sides leading to the south and northwest. A huge warehouse and dozens of houses nearby are the base.
The members of the White Tiger Gang are not complicated, mainly a group of dock workers, and some social miscellaneous people. The gang leader's name is Zhou Peng, the one who took the lead in the morning, in his twenties, known for his ferocity. There are three large scars on the body, the small ones are dense, and there is a gun hole on the leg, but passing through the flesh does not affect the function of the leg.
When Li Feng got there, he saw that the door of the warehouse was open, and a few gas lamps were lit brightly. He puffed up his chest and strode forward. The warehouse was full of goods, and three tables were set up on the right side of the gate, which were already full of food and drink. Two of them were full, and one was only three people, leaving an empty seat, and Zhou Peng was facing this empty seat.
