Chapter 428: Action
After breakfast, Liang Chihui took He Sang to Guangping City.
At 9:30 in the morning, we passed the "Changguang Expressway" toll station smoothly.
Liang Jishen was attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony in Hebei Province and had no time to care about other provinces. Zhao Kai and Zheng Ping were setting up controls at various intersections and studying plans to rescue the hostages, but they overlooked the fact that Liang Chihui was so bold and had such a wild gambling nature that he was running around in the center of the storm.
Peace Building is located at No. 12 Baolin Road in the city center. The first and second floors are beauty salons. The underground garage is divided into two parts. B1 is a card room and B2 is a parking area for customers. There is an open-air parking lot for the building's internal employees.
Viper is quite cautious and only entertains old and big customers, not new or casual customers. Therefore, the card room has been operating for three years without any trouble.
The bodyguard stuffed a red envelope of 800 yuan and a pack of soft drinks into the man at the door, "Brother, a little money, for good luck. This is Brother Hui, from out of town, to visit Brother Gang."
Liang Chihui had no reputation in the black market of other provinces. He was a serious businessman. The henchmen had never heard of him. "Brother Hui? What business do you do?"
"Hey, brother, just report directly to Brother Gang. Brother Gang knows him."
Ma Zai was skeptical and said, "Wait."
After a while, the henchman came out and said, "Brother Hui, our brother Gang really knows you. Please forgive my ignorance. Please bear with me."
He bent down and pressed the elevator button. "Brother Gang is having hot pot with a client. He'll be there in ten minutes."
Liang Chihui entered the elevator and went straight to B1.
The entire floor of the card room was silent, with only the sound of mahjong tiles colliding and poker cards being dealt, as if it were a deserted place.
Most card games were filled with smoke and chaos. Even in the card room that Ji Xilan frequented, there were many rich ladies smoking and drinking red wine at the card tables. However, the place owned by Viper was quiet.
"Damn it—" A commotion suddenly broke out in the West District. "You're cheating!"
"I'm holding cards in one hand and a woman in the other. Is my foot cheating?"
"Your woman is cheating!"
The quarrel was intense, and all the guests came to watch. He Sang was also curious and looked over the crowd.
The man who was accused of cheating was the tyrannical second-generation rich man, Mr. Chen.
In March, she forced He Sang to toast in the theater. Liang Chihui happened to be there and stepped in to help her out.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road.
"It's Chen Li." The accompanying bodyguard reminded Liang Chihui, "It's not appropriate to cause a conflict. Let's avoid it first."
Liang Chihui ordered the bodyguard to greet the venomous snake, and hugged He Sang to hide in the rest area opposite.
Venom Snake, reeking of spicy hot pot, sauntered up from the small door of B2. "Oh my—what a rare guest, Boss Liang." He bowed, his hands clasped in a frivolous pose, "Boss Liang, you're so honored to be here. You didn't tell me yesterday? I didn't prepare any good tea or cigarettes, so I'll just have to make do with these."
The henchman handed him a box of cigars. He weighed them in his hand and said, "Sixty thousand yuan a box, it's not really good stuff. I smoke it casually in private, but if I entertain guests, I have to pay at least double the price. The richer the guest, the better the cigarettes."
He Sang frowned.
Viper's opening remarks seemed to be trying to put others first.
Very crazy.
On the surface, he was being polite, but in reality, he was denigrating Liang Chihui, saying that he was not worthy of high-end cigarettes.
She saw through the trick, so how could Liang Chihui not see it? He laughed and said, "Gangzi, it's been many years since we last met. You've become respectable and powerful now."
"Thanks to all the bosses for their support, and my brothers for their help, I, a small outsider, have been able to take root in Guangping City." Dushe shouted, cleverly defusing Liang Chihui's sharp counterattack. The guests applauded, and he smiled, "Of course, Boss Liang, I will never forget your kindness."
Liang Chihui's smile did not diminish. "Since you remember my kindness, I won't waste any more words. Gangzi, I'm short of money recently, and I want to borrow some cash from you to help me out in an emergency."
"No problem! Boss Liang is doing me a favor by taking my money. I couldn't ask for more." Viper said generously, snapping his fingers. "Shall we go somewhere quiet to talk?"
A blonde female dealer pushed open the door of the private room and pinched her butt. "You have no eyesight! Just call me Boss Liang."
The dealer smiled brightly and bowed, her voluptuous breasts almost slipping out of her halter dress. Liang Chihui ignored her and walked straight into the box.
This box is simply decorated, with old walls and an old-fashioned disc chandelier that provides dim light.
The specifications are not like a private room for entertaining guests, but more like a dormitory for bodyguards and dealers to take a nap.
Viper picked up a feather duster, swept the sofa, and motioned Liang Chihui to sit down. "This is a place where you can win or lose money. Customers are addicted to gambling and even gamble on garbage dumps. They don't care whether the environment is clean or not."
Liang Chihui looked around, his face not looking good, and he said nothing.
Viper lazily lifted one leg, as if gloating, but also as if concerned, "Boss Liang, is there something wrong in Ji Province?"
"It's a small matter."
"Hey, you're hiding this from me?" Viper laughed. "The Liang Group has a major project in the provincial capital. It started in April and was left unfinished in May. The news has spread. The higher-ups are investigating the Liang family, right?"
Liang Chihui stroked the engagement diamond ring on her middle finger, smiling without saying a word.
A bodyguard carried a suitcase and placed it on the table.
The suitcase was 20 inches in size and could hold approximately 1 to 1.2 million yuan in cash. Liang Chihui narrowed his eyes and the atmosphere became tense.
Viper knocked on the trunk lid with his fist. "Boss Liang, you lent me 600,000 yuan. The principal and interest together make it 1 million yuan. I owe you a favor, and I've paid it back."
Liang Chihui looked at the suitcase, then looked at him, "Gangzi, I need five million."
"Five million?" Viper's eyes widened. "You must be kidding me! My weekly profit is only five million. I have over twenty employees, and I'm a lecher. I'm obsessed with foreign girls, and keeping women is expensive. Life is so tight, and I can't afford it."
The venomous snake was merciless, so Liang Chihui simply tore his face off and talked, "Sun Gang, when you were desperate and being chased by loan sharks, I lent you 600,000 yuan to help you survive. Without that 600,000 yuan, you would not be alive today, let alone have the chance to save tens of millions of dollars. I don't want the 5 million, I'm borrowing it. I will give you 6 million after I go abroad."
"Boss Liang, my name is Sun Gang, not Grandson. I'm not ungrateful. I specifically added 400,000 to make it an even number. I did my best." Viper glared at him nonchalantly, "You're one of the famous Four Young Masters of Ji Province, and you even drink from antique soup bowls. You've fallen to this state. Why are you so arrogant? The glorious days of spending 100,000 on a meal and a million on a bottle of wine are long gone. You don't deserve it anymore. You need to learn to accept reality."
The venomous snake sneered, and the coldness on Liang Chihui's face deepened, "Gangzi, you slapped me in the face."
"I'm offering you some kind advice," he said, his voice serpentine and slyly smiling. "When Boss Liang was a child of destiny, everyone dreamed of giving you money, exchanging it for resources, currying favor, and getting in on the action. But when you became a bandit, you became a plague. Who wants to deal with a plague?"
"Sun Gang, how dare you!" The bodyguard was about to attack, but Liang Chihui stopped him.
Viper looked at him expressionlessly, not at all timid, "Boss Liang, this is my territory. People under my roof have to bow their heads. I can do whatever I want, but you can't."
Liang Chihui also looked at the venomous snake. After a moment, he opened the suitcase and shook out stacks of banknotes. He smiled sinisterly, "Sun Gang, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. I, Liang Chihui, have fallen, but your mouth is the best way to do good."
After he finished speaking, he kicked the box and walked away.
Viper scorned him and spat at his back, "You stray dog, you want five million? You're buying a coffin."
Liang Chihui walked out of the Peace Building with murderous intent in his eyes.
The lowly people who once knelt at his feet and fawned over him like a grandfather now dared to show off their power towards him.
This group of despicable gamblers are really heartless and ruthless.
He gripped the lighter until the back of his hand turned blue, and flicked it hard.
The lighter fell heavily on the iron door of the Peace Building, leaving a dent.
He Sang suddenly shuddered.
Liang Chihui realized that his anger scared her, so he put his arm around her waist and said gently, "Get in the car first."
She got into the car, rolled down the window, and lay there quietly without moving.
"How many brothers does Wu Zi have in Guangping City?"
"About seventeen or eighteen of them, dealing in crabs at the North District's seafood market." The bodyguard tested his feelings. "Second Young Master, can't you swallow this?"
Liang Chihui's eyes were sinister, "We destroyed Sun Gang's place."
