Chapter Forty-Eight: Bar Fights
As soon as Riemann finished the performance, he invited the members to go to supper, firstly to thank Xu Zhou, and secondly, to celebrate the success of the performance.
"Did Lao Bai's phone call get through? Tell him to have a supper together. Riemann said to Dahao.
"I don't know what he's doing, the phone keeps turning off, do you want to go to his house to find him and see what's going on." Dahao replied.
Riemann always felt that something was not quite right, Lao Bai would never be absent for no reason, something must have happened.
"I'll invite you to supper another day, now I'm going to find Lao Bai first, I'm afraid something will happen to him." After Riemann finished speaking, he immediately ran to the road to stop a taxi, and as soon as he got into the car, the phone rang.
A strange call with no notes.
"Hello?"
"Li Man, right, I heard that you are Bai Yan's friend, so can you help him pay back the money?" The voice on the phone was very dragged, and it seemed that it was not small.
Riemann's uneasiness was confirmed, but he was still a little flustered, especially the unknown person on the phone, who seemed to have tied up Lao Bai.
"Who are you? What do you want? Riemann replied calmly, and the taxi driver kept asking where to go, and the man seemed to hear the taxi driver's voice, and instead of answering Riemann's question, he told her to go to the livehouse.
"Driver, go to the Ocean Palace." After Li Man finished speaking, the man hung up the phone, and Xu Zhou and the others were still confused.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhou asked.
"Lao Bai seems to have borrowed money from others, they are in the livehouse, let's go there first." After Li Man finished speaking, he pinched the bridge of his nose in the middle of his eyes with his fingers, frowning and closing his eyes, very worried.
After getting out of the car, Riemann and the others immediately rushed to the livehouse on the basement floor, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Lao Bai being beaten and covered in injuries and kneeling on the ground.
Next to him sat a man who looked to be about thirty years old, and behind him stood six or seven thugs in their twenties. With gray hair and smoking a cigarette, he saw the four of Riemann break in, and smiled maliciously, "Come on, it's pretty fast." ”
"Who are you? Why hit someone? Riemann shouted at him.
"Why hit someone? You ask him, ask him why I hit him. As he spoke, the man exhaled a puff of white smoke, and the air became cloudy.
"I'll call the police." Mu Wei hurriedly took out his mobile phone and was about to call the police, but was stopped by Bai Yan.
"Don't call the police, you can't call the police," he said, with trembling eyes.
"How much does he owe you, you beat him like this!?" Xu Zhou couldn't help but speak on the side.
The man was about to answer, Bai Yan suddenly got up, picked up a chair beside him, and flew towards the man, the man and the thugs behind him dodged in time, Bai Yan immediately shouted: "One person does things and one person does, Sister Man, it's none of your business, even if they beat me to death today, I won't let you get involved in this matter!" ”
The man was provoked, his anger reached its peak, and he scolded Bai Yan: "Stinky boy, don't eat and drink when you toast, I tell you, today next year will be your death day!" Let your friend collect your body! After the man finished speaking, the thugs behind him began to rush to Bai Yan's side, grabbed Bai Yan and beat him.
Xu Zhou and the others immediately rushed up, took the wine glass on the table and smashed it on their heads, there was no other outsider on the field except them, all of them were scared away before Riemann came, and the owner of the bar area was frightened and hid under the table.
Xu Zhou is also the president of the boxing club, and fighting is also a skill he has had since he was a child, he protected Li Man, and kept her hidden behind him, not letting any gangsters get close to her, Mu Wei and Dahao are also gym players, and it is difficult for them to fight, Dahao rescued Bai Yan from the hands of the two gangsters, and the rest of the people are in a chaotic fight, and the scene is as spectacular as the gang beating in a Hong Kong drama.
But what I didn't expect was that the man who took the lead also hid a knife on his body and went straight to Xu Zhou. Xu Zhou was still fighting with another gangster, Li Man was stunned, he didn't react at all, Xu Zhou turned around, and saw a knife stabbing at himself and Li Man behind him, Xu Zhou subconsciously took a step forward to protect Li Man behind him, and was about to use his arm to block the knife, when he heard a bang, and then bang, glass slag splashed all over the ground. The scene fell silent.
Xu Zhou put down his arm and saw that the man had fallen to the ground, bleeding from his head, Xu Zhou looked back and saw that it was Teng Xiaofeng.
The man got up, Teng Xiaofeng looked at him with his pockets in his pockets, and there was a fierce energy on his face, just one word at the moment, ruffian!
"Who the are you!?" The man covered the blood on his head and glared at Teng Xiaofeng viciously.
"Obviously, they're my friends." Teng Xiaofeng said as he stretched out his hand from his pocket, twisting the cufflink of his left hand with his right hand, Xu Zhou was watching from the side, he was a man, and he thought of one word at this moment, handsome!
"That kid owes me money, you're nosy, aren't you?" After the man finished speaking, he looked back at his brothers, and found that they had all been beaten and couldn't straighten their waists, so he put the rest of the unspoken sentence, "Brothers!" swallowed it, and then turned his head to look at Xu Zhou and Li Man, "Okay, you help him now, I see if you can help him in the future!" Wait and see, you kid! After speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Teng Xiaofeng.
"How much does he owe you?"
The man was stunned, and then said, "One hundred thousand." ”
Teng Xiaofeng took out his mobile phone, tapped his fingers on the screen quickly, then raised his head and picked up the mobile phone and said to the man: "You go to this place, I have already asked someone to write a check, you go and get it yourself, and I will give you 120,000 yuan, and the extra 20,000 yuan is your medical expenses, by the way, I remind you, if you don't have any ability, don't learn to be a big brother, so as not to lose face." ”
The man glared at Teng Xiaofeng and Xu Zhou, and then left.
The scene was in a mess, and Bai Yan knelt on the ground again, crying bitterly.
Teng Xiaofeng helped up a chair on the ground, and then sat casually, looking at Bai Yan expressionlessly.
Xu Zhou looked at Teng Xiaofeng from the side, recalling that if it wasn't for Teng Xiaofeng's sudden appearance just now, he might have been stabbed, Teng Xiaofeng actually became his life-saving benefactor at this moment, Xu Zhou never imagined that things would develop like this.
"Thank you just now." Xu Zhou said.
"It's just a coincidence." Teng Xiaofeng replied coldly.
Li Man ran over to help Bai Yan up, Bai Yan walked in front of Teng Xiaofeng and knelt down again.
"Get up." Teng Xiaofeng said.
Bai Yan's tears kept flowing, diluting the blood on his face, choking until his neck was bruised, and his face was red, as if he was drunk.
"Brother Xiaofeng, thank you! I really... I..." Bai Yan was so emotional that he almost lost control, kneeling on the ground and crying with his head in his arms.
Li Man looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, not knowing that they still knew each other.
"How do you meet?" Xu Zhou said.
"He's working here, I'm drinking a lot here, is it weird that we know each other? When you're done crying, get me up, and the big man cries like this. Teng Xiaofeng looked at Bai Yan's appearance and felt uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he must have some kind of hardship.
"If there is anything we will bear together, don't forget that there are also our brothers!" Dahao also choked up on the side, and after speaking, he walked aside and secretly cried, Mu Wei hurriedly went up to appease Dahao's emotions.
After graduating from high school, he was going to go to college, but his mother suddenly fell ill, and the cost of medical expenses was a huge amount of money for them, so Lao Bai had to give up the opportunity to go to college and come out to make money to take care of his mother.
Drumming is his hobby since junior high school, and it is his only pastime, he loves to play drums, and only in music can he relax a little and forget the pressure on his shoulders.
"Is it that Auntie's condition has deteriorated again?" Riemann asked cautiously.
Bai Yan finally stopped crying, wiped his nose and tears, and nodded.
"Why didn't you come to me?" Li Man became a little excited, Bai Yan borrowed from Li Man once, Li Man knew that Lao Bai's mother had been very concerned about his mother's situation since she was sick, and also warned that if there were any financial problems, she could help, but I didn't expect that this time Lao Bai actually went to borrow a loan shark and didn't talk to himself, Li Man felt very sad.
"Sister Man, I know you are good to me, but I haven't paid it back last time, this time I can't borrow from you, I have no choice but to borrow usury, Sister Man, and everyone, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I'm sorry for you!" Bai Yan cried again as he spoke, Mu Wei and Dahao came over and hugged Bai Yan, and then helped him go to the bathroom to wash his face.
Li Man couldn't go on, and looked at Teng Xiaofeng, "I'll pay you back that account later." ”
"I'm not lending it to you, I'm not in a hurry." Teng Xiaofeng said.
Xu Zhou began to treat Teng Xiaofeng as a brother, and he admired Teng Xiaofeng's righteousness.
"Hey, why did you end up here by such coincidence?" Xu Zhou looked at Teng Xiaofeng and asked.
Teng Xiaofeng looked behind him and saw that the boss's frightened three souls were gone, so he walked over and took two bottles of beer, sat down and drank it.
"I'm not like you, I don't have an appointment, so I'm looking for a place to drink, okay?" Teng Xiaofeng glanced at Xu Zhou and continued to drink silently.
Xu Zhou realized that Gong Yao was not here, and smiled, "The little two are quarreling?" ”
Li Man gave Xu Zhou a look, and Xu Zhou immediately shut up.
"Haven't found Gong Yao yet?" Riemann asked.
Teng Xiaofeng took out his mobile phone, opened the chat page with Gong Yao, and put it in front of the table, "Just gave such a sentence, I called and turned it off." ”
"So suddenly, there must really be something, wait for her to come back and ask her. At least I know to send you a message like this, when I brought her here before, she suddenly disappeared, and no one answered how many calls I made, and at that time I was worried about death, and I couldn't contact anyone at night, and I only called the next day to know that I was with you, and I really didn't me off! As he spoke, Li Man remembered the disappearance of Gong Yao the night before the last National Day, and unconsciously told it.
Xu Zhou smiled when he heard this, and put his hand on Teng Xiaofeng's shoulder, "Oh, it turns out that we have been together so early, tsk, there is a hand!" ”
Teng Xiaofeng shook his shoulders and looked at Xu Zhou with a look about your, "Boring." The account for these two bottles is settled. After finishing speaking, he got up and left, Xu Zhou looked at Teng Xiaofeng's departing back, and felt that this person was handsome out of a certain realm, and even felt that he was compared with himself.
