Seven days later, we held a grand memorial service for the third child.
That day, all the shops on Kaiyuan Road were covered with white cloth. A brother walked in front holding a photo of Xiao Sanzi, and I and the other hall masters followed behind carrying Xiao Sanzi's coffin. Behind them was a long dragon of people dressed in black, and everyone's face was filled with sorrow.
We walked the entire street and came to a cemetery in the southern suburbs of the city. Here are buried Wang Jinbao, Chen Xiaoyun, Luo Weihao, Liu Zhaowen, and Zhao Yifan. Now, there will be another third child. I hope that in the future, there will be no more...
But I know this is just wishful thinking. As long as we follow this path, people will continue to die.
After Xiao Sanzi's funeral was completed, the situation in the south of the city finally stabilized. When a big tree rises, countless macaques will come to settle down. As expected, the power of the Black Tiger Gang expanded rapidly. The average number of people in the five branches, Quanhu, Ajiu, Ye Zhan, Meng Liang, and Ma Teng, reached 150, which is about 800 in total. This has included all kinds of gangsters in the underworld of the south of the city. Of course, there are some scattered forces, which can be completely ignored.
As a matter of course, the Black Tiger Gang takes a cut of 90% of the stores on Kaiyuan Road, whether they are large entertainment centers, nightclubs, or smaller billiard halls and coffee shops. The remaining 10% of the stores cannot be touched, as they have official backgrounds and most of them have city-level leaders as shareholders. We help to watch over the place for free, but we will never interfere with the profits.
Gao Qi also fulfilled her long-cherished wish. All the places of the Black Tiger Gang employed people from her family. Gao Qi also recruited soldiers and horses. Not only did she collect all the local girls in the south of the city, but she also found many tender girls from other places. She could basically hire girls from all provinces and cities, even rare species like Taiwanese girls, to meet the different needs of different customers at any time.
In general, the underworld in the south of the city has been completely controlled by the Black Tiger Gang, and a large amount of black money continues to flow into our pockets.
I, Wang Hao, leader of the Black Tiger Gang, have finally become the overlord of the south city underworld, on par with the short mule in the north, Miao Chenjiang in the east, and Ma Weishan in the west.
On the day when the Forest Bar reopened, firecrackers were set off with a deafening bang. Kaiyuan Road was crowded with people, and countless hooligans were among them, proud of being members of the Black Tiger Gang. This day was not only the opening of the bar, but also a declaration of my official promotion. Short Mule, Miao Chenjiang, and Ma Weishan also sent people to send congratulatory notes and red envelopes - the reason they didn't come in person was that I had not yet established formal relations with them. They were all very generous, and the red envelopes were all in six figures.
But I stood at the door of the Forest Bar and tore the congratulatory note and red envelope from Dwarf Mule into pieces in front of countless like-minded people.
"I, Wang Hao, will fight to the death with the dwarf mule in the north of the city! One of us must die!" Then he threw the debris into the air.
This is my territory, so of course everyone cheered in unison, and slogans such as "Kill the dwarf mule and take over the north city district" were heard everywhere.
In addition to the underworld, I also asked Director Chu to help make connections and invite some government officials to come. The director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Pang Guohong, was also among them. I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect him to really come. Pang Guohong was in plain clothes, with only three or four followers around him, including Li Kai.
I shook his hand excitedly and repeatedly invited Director Pang to come in and sit down.
Pang Guohong was willing to give me face and went into the bar right away. I asked Ye Zhan and the others to entertain us, and then I walked in with Pang Guohong. Pang Guohong walked around the bar with his hands behind his back. I followed him and said some nonsense about "bringing glory to my humble home". If I could hold on to Pang Guohong, I would be able to walk around freely in Beiyuan City.
We walked to a secluded place, Pang Guohong waved his hand, and Li Kai and the others stepped aside. It was obvious that he had something to say, so I hurriedly listened. Pang Guohong asked, "Have you started working on that?" I asked curiously, "What is it?" Pang Guohong said in surprise, "Didn't Mayor Li tell you?" I said, "No, I haven't contacted Mayor Li yet."
My heart was pounding, and I had no idea what Pang Guohong was talking about. Pang Guohong frowned, as if he was confused. I quickly said, "I've been busy these days and haven't had time to see Mayor Li."
Pang Guohong suddenly realized and said, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. When you're done, go find Mayor Li. He has something to tell you."
"good."
After that, Pang Guohong patted my shoulder and said, "Wang Hao, don't be complacent now that you are the boss of the south city. I advise you to do everything in moderation, try to avoid illegal things, and always remember that there is a sword of law hanging over your head! You know the black pigs in Gaoping, Shanxi? They were so rampant back then, but they were still killed by the central government! And the fourth master in the northeast was also a real local emperor, but didn't he end up with his head and body separated in the end?"
"Yes." I was sweating profusely, but I felt relieved. Pang Guohong was willing to say these words to me, which proved that he did not regard me as an enemy.
"Well, that's enough, I'm leaving!" Pang Guohong put his hands behind his back and turned to leave. I quickly said, "Why are you leaving? There's a lunch party at noon, Director Pang wants to show us the light!" Pang Guohong waved his hand and said, "We still have to pay attention to the impact."
I sent Pang Guohong to the door and watched him leave in a car.
At noon, everyone came to Kaiyuan Restaurant. In the VIP room on the top floor, Zhou Honglin, Director Chu, and a group of government officials were all there. They were all old acquaintances, toasting each other, and the atmosphere was quite lively. Ye Zhan and I accompanied them, and Zhou Mo held her father's arm, making the dinner lively. At this time, Ye Zhan used the power of his straw sandals to chat with various government officials. After a while, they became brothers and sisters, as good as a family.
