In the wee hours of the morning, Ma Jianqiang and a dozen young cooks squatted like sick cats in an empty room with an iron fence on the window of the SWAT team.

They were caught last night. Chef Xiao Wang got married, and they went to Xiao Wang's house to eat and drink after work, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Xiao Wang's house. At half past four in the afternoon, I had dinner in the hotel staff cafeteria, and I was not hungry for a while, so I said that it would be fun and then supper.

A group of people couldn't wait to pick up a square table in the hall and bring a deck of pokers, with Ma Jianqiang as the boss to reveal the odds and doubles.

Ma Jianqiang's family is in the countryside, there is no entertainment in the countryside, and gambling has become the greatest pleasure for rural people during festivals or happy events.

Ma Jianqiang has been addicted to gambling since he was a child, and after entering the Perfume Galaxy Hotel, there are fewer opportunities to gamble, and his gambling addiction has not decreased, but has become stronger. Several people discussed it early, and when Xiao Wang got married, he would have a good time with gambling.

Xiao Wang's family is on the outskirts of the city, his own private house. The tent was set up in the narrow alley between the two rows of houses. The SWAT team parked the police car on the road and touched it. The dogs barked in the street, and the gamblers didn't notice it.

After being taken to the SWAT team, they went through the hall one by one to take notes. The unit, name, address, and process are clear. And the red handprint was pressed on the black and white paper. After tossing in the middle of the night, when everyone was locked up, the chef boys realized that there was a big problem. These people are all locked inside, and the hotel kitchen is going to be paralyzed. The paper couldn't hold the fire, and they asked the police to report the Perfume Star River.

This is saving the hotel, but also saving yourself. They knew that the SWAT team would only be able to release them if the hotel intervened.

When Li Fei arrived at the SWAT team on his Phoenix bicycle, it was already dark. Asked to see someone, but the young policeman on duty refused to let him. Li Fei said, I am friends with your Captain Long, can you be accommodating?

The young policeman said, then you go with our Captain Long.

Where is your dragon captain? Li Fei asked.

The reply was that our Captain Dragon hadn't gone to work yet.

Li Fei and Captain Long met a few months ago. Two tables of young guests have dinner in the restaurant on the third floor, and one of the tables comes out to toast with the other. The people at the other table said they didn't know each other and wouldn't drink.

The toaster said cruel words: What does it mean, don't drink the toast?

The toast said, "How about it?" You still want to hit someone!

I'll beat you! As he spoke, he punched it.

It happened so quickly that the person who was beaten wore a pair of glasses, and with a punch, he knocked the glasses off and his nose was bleeding. People on both sides rushed up and there was a scuffle. When the hotel security arrived, only the beaten party was still there, and the beating party had already gone downstairs.

Xiao Wu ran down the stairs and saw a thin young man walking quickly. The waiter who chased down from the third floor identified that this person was the one who hit the table!

Xiao Wu chased after him and shouted: Stop! The thin young man looked back and saw several security guards running like tigers and wolves, and ran away.

Li Fei had already arrived at the restaurant on the third floor at this time. While comforting the beaten guests, he looked out through the glass. I saw Xiao Wu running at the forefront of several security guards with a belt in his hand, and a thin man ran like a frightened bird and a deadly gopher. Several times I almost caught up and escaped.

Zhang Liang, the foreman of the restaurant standing next to him, said, General Manager, do you recognize the thin man who escaped? Li Fei said he didn't know. Zhang Liang told him that he was Feng Mazi, a famous kidnapper on the lower street of Xiangzhou.

The hotel had already called 110 to call the police, and soon the SWAT team arrived. Leading the team was captain Long Yong.

Long Yong can be regarded as a well-known figure in Xiangzhou. Many people in Xiangzhou may not necessarily know who the chief of the city public security bureau is, but they must know that Long Yong is the captain of the SWAT team.

The first time Li Fei dealt with Long Yong was when the SWAT team came to the hotel not long ago to arrest gambling. Several people played mahjong in the hotel room and were served by the SWAT team. One of them is the head of a unit. This unit is also a regular visitor to the Perfume Star River. The people in the unit asked the hotel to come forward quickly to do the work and help get the people out.

Li Fei immediately rushed to the SWAT team, Long Yong was very Jianghu, and said that since you, Mr. Li, came forward, you must give face. People can be put, but money cannot go unpunished.

Li Fei said that it is okay to fine money, but it is not possible to make a record.

The person in the unit explained that he must not leave a record of the case.

Long Yong said, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to do.

Li Fei said, it's not difficult, how could I come to beg you!

Since then, Long Yong has become a guest of honor at the hotel. Every time Long Yong came to the hotel to spend, Li Fei must be there to greet him. La Longyong stepped aside and said, I'll sign today's bill? If Long Yong said that someone else was treating, you don't have to care. Li Fei can not care. If Long Yong says I'll come by myself, you don't have to worry about it. Li Fei signed the hotel on the bill.

Long Yong asked someone to bring the beaten party back to make a record. After a few gossips with Li Fei, he left.

When the sky was dark and the lights were on, hundreds of people suddenly gathered in front of the Perfume Galaxy Hotel, shouting noisily and demanding that the security guards who beat people be handed over. The front desk hurriedly informed Li Fei. Li Fei asked the front desk to report to the SWAT team as soon as possible. At the same time, Gao Yang was notified to let several security guards avoid it; Inform all managers in the store to maintain order in the lobby.

Gao Yang was the first to arrive at the scene. The scene in front of the door was already quite chaotic. The driveway was full of people. The lights shone down from the roof of the driveway, and the faces were murderous with less white and more black. Seeing Li Fei walking out of the hotel gate, Gao Yang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, It's chaotic outside, you can't go out.

Li Fei said, it doesn't matter, they don't dare to do anything to me.

Gao Yang couldn't stop it, so he explained to a few security guards in front of him: protect the general manager!

Li Fei shouted to the chaotic crowd, which of you is the leader?

The answers one after another: call your general manager! Call your general manager out!

Li Fei said, I am the general manager of the hotel!

Hearing Li Fei's self-defeating identity, Gao Yang jumped to his feet in a hurry: How can you do this? Isn't this sticking your neck out for bricks!

Gao Yang saw the crowd of troublemakers and quickly gathered towards Li Fei, and the roar drowned out Li Fei's voice: Hand over the security guards who beat people! If you don't hand it over, you will smash his hotel!

When Huang Kanghua arrived at the scene, he saw that the chaotic crowd had surrounded Li Feituan. It's broken, it's broken! Shouting: Where's the security? Where are the security guards?

Jiang Kehang was the last to arrive at the scene, and when he saw that the managers of other departments were there, he just didn't see the general manager, so he asked the general manager? Where is the general manager?

Mr. Huang said the general manager was surrounded in the middle.

Jiang Kehang stood on tiptoe on the steps and looked, all he saw were heads, and he couldn't tell which one was the general manager. said in a hurry, quickly find a way to get people out.

Marco said, we squeezed several times, but we couldn't squeeze in.

Jiang Kehang asked, who else is inside?

He Fei, who was trembling with fright, said that they said that they saw Gao Yang and a few security guards beside Mr. Li.

Yang Yue was also in a hurry: The SWAT team hasn't come yet?

Did you make a call? Jiang Kehang asked.

Hit.

Hurry up and fight again, just say that they kidnapped Mr. Li!

At this time, I saw that the crowd of troublemakers was like a whirlpool in the torrent, surging towards the new commercial street step by step, and then surging north along the new commercial street.

Gao Yang and the other four security guards protected Li Fei from front to back, left and right. In the face of the mob-like crowd, he kept shouting: Don't hit people! Don't hit anyone! Gao Yang is most worried about the fact that this group of people is emotionally out of control, and if they lose control of their emotions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When the crowd poured in front of the bus station, the lights were much dimmer. Gao Yang thought that he couldn't go to the dark place anymore, and accidents were more likely to happen in the dark place. He said to Li Fei and a few security guards, let's rush to the station! Several people worked together to break through to the entrance of the station.

The large iron gate of the station passage is closed, and only the small gate for one person is open. Gao Yang asked Li Fei to go in first, and the other security guards guarded the door, and pushed Li Fei into the guard room.

Frightened by the sudden situation, the janitor drove them out, and Gao Yang told him that we are from Perfume Star River, and this is our general manager. We're only here for a while, and the SWAT team will be there shortly.

Long Yong, the captain of the SWAT team, arrived with Feng Mazi. After he came, he first found Feng Mazi in the crowd. Feng Mazi handed Long Yong a cigarette and said, The brothers outside rushed over when they heard that I was beaten, and if they don't give an explanation today, they won't agree.

Long Yong took Feng Mazi's cigarette and politely refused to light the fire. Long Yong said, you tell them to disperse first, and it will not have a good impact on gathering crowds to make trouble.

Feng Mazi said, Captain Long, I don't accept what you say. My brothers didn't hit anyone, and they didn't smash anything, so what kind of trouble is it?

Long Yong said, whether there is trouble or not, it is always bad for so many people to get together?

Feng Mazi said that it was okay to ask them to disperse, unless the security guards who beat people were handed over.

Li Fei said that if our security guards really beat someone, they would have to hand it over to the SWAT team and the police station. But you beaters must also hand it over!

Feng Mazi said, who did you say hit someone?

Li Fei said, you hit someone. There are human and physical evidence!

Feng Mazi sneered and said, what you say is like the truth! When others invite me to dinner and fight, I'm just a fighter. Your security guards are chasing me and beating me, am I still wrong to persuade me to fight?

Li Fei was speechless for a while, he couldn't imagine that this guy was so clever.

Long Yong said, Lao Feng, even if you give me a face today, okay?

Feng Mazi said, Captain Long, you have to act fairly, I was injured by them, you said that I should forget it like this? As soon as he raised his arm as he spoke, he frowned and pulled his eyes and screamed.

Long Yong said, tomorrow you go to the hospital for examination, you can be treated how you want. Mr. Li's side will not reduce your medical expenses. said and looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded and said, listen to Captain Long.

The next morning, Feng Mazi came to inform the hotel to take money to the Chinese medicine hospital. Li Fei, Song Bo and Gao Yang brought fruit snacks to the hospital to visit Feng Mazi.

On the road, Gao Yang asked Li Fei: Were you afraid yesterday?

Li Fei said, they don't dare to do anything to me, what do I have to be afraid of.

Li Fei really thinks that he is the general manager of the dignified Perfume Galaxy Hotel, and he is also a well-known figure in Xiangzhou City, so he doesn't dare to do anything to himself.

Gao Yang said, you are not afraid of yourself, you can frighten us, what if you are hurt by them?

Song Bo said that this is a lesson, and if this situation is encountered in the future, the general manager must not directly face the danger.

Li Fei defended, I think I have more experience than you after all, and I have a stronger ability to control dangerous situations.

Song Bo mocked that almost everyone was plundered, and said that he was better than others.

Li Fei said, it wasn't that they were taken away, I was afraid that the arc glass in the lobby would be broken, so I lured them away.

Gao Yang asked in annoyance, is it the person or the glass that is important? Seeing that Li Fei smiled and didn't answer, he still asked unrelentingly, I only ask you, is it important to people or glass?

Gao Yang dared to talk to Li Fei with such a seemingly disrespectful attitude, which not only did not arouse Li Fei's disgust, but made him feel very warm and useful.

After arriving at the hospital, the three of them first went to the doctor to ask about the situation. The doctor said that they were all old injuries and no new injuries were seen. Li Fei was relieved when he heard this.

When they came to the ward, several people pretended to smile and greeted Feng Mazi, who was lying on the hospital bed. Feng Mazi said, you are ruthless, I can't win against you. I was beaten by your people, and now I don't have to ask anything else, just heal my wounds first. I'm sick all over, and I'm going to live here for a year and a half. Anyway, you Perfume Galaxy Hotel has money, and you are not afraid.

Li Fei's head was about to explode when he heard it, he really lived in this hospital for a year and a half, how much money did it cost!

Several people came out of the hospital, and Song Bo said that he was obviously blackmailing!

Gao Yang said that it was better to find a middleman to come forward, promise to give him a sum of money, and settle the matter at one time.

I think that's all I can see. Song Bo agreed with Gao Yang's opinion, I paid 1,000 yuan for the hospitalization just now, but the doctor said it was not enough, so I asked for 1,000 yuan tomorrow. This hospitalization fee is like a bottomless pit.

Li Fei said, don't be a middleman, we'll talk to him tomorrow.

The next morning, Li Fei and Gao Yang went to the hospital. There was no one in the ward, so I asked the nurse, only to know that Feng Mazi was resting at home last night and had not come to the hospital in the morning. The two waited for a while before Feng Mazi brought a follower to the hospital.

Feng Mazi said when they met, you will kill me, I have a lot of things at home, and I have to run to the hospital every day.

Li Fei said, Lao Feng, we are also friends on Liangshan - we don't know each other if we don't fight. It's also troublesome for you to live here, although we spent money, but the money was collected by the hospital. You see if this will work, let's negotiate a number and settle this matter all at once. lest we both have to run to the hospital every day.

Li Fei saw Feng Mazi rolling his eyes. Although his name is pockmarked, his face is not numb. Except for the occasional fierce light in his eyes, he is no different from ordinary people.

Feng Mazi said, how much do you say it will cost?

We have already paid 2,000 yuan in the hospital, how about 2,000 yuan? Li Fei came prepared and deliberately lowered the starting point.

Two thousand dollars is too little, right? Feng Mazi said, I don't want more, you get 5,000.

Li Fei thought that he would open his mouth, but he didn't expect that he only needed five thousand. The mouth still says, five thousand is too much. Can it be less?

Less than 5,000 don't talk! Feng Mazi was ruthless, and his eyes revealed a fierce light again. Later, when the two got acquainted, Li Fei asked Feng Mazi: Why didn't you make so many people to surround me that night?

Feng Mazi smiled: You think I'm a fool? Perfume Galaxy Hotel is not an ordinary place, and you are not an ordinary person, can the Public Security Bureau let me go if you beat you? Besides, who am I looking for money after beating you? I said hello when I went, and whoever it was, I wasn't allowed to do it today.

Li Fei pointed his finger at Feng Mazi and said with a smile, you guy!

The temperature was very low, and Li Fei stomped his feet and waited for Long Yong in the courtyard of the SWAT team. A young police officer came over and said hello: Mr. Li is here!

Li Fei looked familiar, and remembered that he had gone to the hotel to eat with Long Yong. I'm waiting for Captain Long, what time does he come?

Captain Long was on duty last night and rested in the back room. I'll call him.

After a while, Long Yong came out of the back room and said jokingly, how did you alarm your general manager!

Li Fei said, we are not strict in management, and we have caused trouble for you.

I've heard that more than a dozen people are chefs? Long Yong said.

Yes. Li Fei said that the kitchen was almost empty.

What do you say? Long Yong looked at Li Fei and said with a smile.

It's not like you're raising your hand and letting them go. Otherwise, we won't be able to open the door today.

The two of them said as they headed to the front office. Long Yong pushed open the door of an office on the first floor and sat opposite Li Fei across the table.

Long Yong said that if it was someone else, he would have to be locked up for a few days before speaking. You can't be locked up, I can only release people. However, each person has to pay a fine of 3,000 yuan.

Li Fei pretended not to understand the market, and deliberately raised the requirements: Is it okay not to fine?

No, no, their materials are reported to the bureau.

Li Fei knew that this was a routine. When the special police team of the police station caught the offender, they quickly made materials and reported them to the bureau. Someone interceded, so they deduced that they had reported to the bureau and could not be changed.

Li Fei smiled and said, it is rumored that you have a fine task, is it true or false?

Long Yong is very frank: It's not called a task, 100 people only pay the salary of 60 people when they do things. There must be pressure.

Li Fei said, since this is the case, I will talk to them first.

When Ma Jianqiang saw Li Fei push the door in, he almost burst into tears like a wronged child seeing his parents. He and a dozen cooks stood weakly and crookedly. looked at the ground one by one, not daring to look at Li Fei.

Looking at this group of frozen guys, Li Fei is both pitiful and disgusting. A piece of glass was broken in the north window, and the wind blew in, and the room was as cold as an ice hole. There was nothing else in the room except a urine bucket in the corner. On such a cold day, it is impossible to sit in the cold underground. It seems that they spent the night standing or squatting.

Seeing the chef Xiao Zhao wiping his tears, Li Fei asked him what was wrong. Someone next to him said for him, he said he was only watching, not gambling, and the police said he was dishonest and beat him.

Li Fei asked, where did the fight go?

Xiao Zhao refused to say. Li Fei said that he went out to the hospital to have a look.

Li Fei told the chefs about the SWAT team's handling opinions. Hearing that each person would be fined 3,000, the boys were disappointed, thinking that the general manager would be able to fish them out when he came, but who knew that they would still have to be fined. So the collective chose silence.

Ma Jianqiang calculated in his heart: his salary is only seven or eight hundred yuan. If you pay a fine of 3,000 yuan plus the 2,000 yuan gambling money that was seized at the scene, you will catch up with half a year's salary. He was reluctant to say yes, and he dared to say he didn't agree. Only silence as everyone else.

Li Fei looked at the faces of the bitter lords, and asked again: How is it, do you agree or not?

Still no one answered. They knew that the hotel was going to fish them out no matter what. Business is so good, going to work every day is like a war, and now there are more than a dozen of them all of a sudden, how can the kitchen still run?

Li Fei was very angry in his heart, and he walked out angrily. The little young police officer who followed next to him fanned the flames and said that these people were too disagreeable, and the general manager was indifferent when he came! When Li Fei heard him say this, he became more and more angry, feeling that he was very embarrassed.
