Zhang Feng's appearance surprised everyone, but it was actually just a coincidence.
Ever since he escaped from the dry well and ran to the bar to seek refuge with Lin Lidong that day, Zhang Feng told Lin Lidong all his experiences truthfully. Lin Lidong also knew that You Tianfu must have his own intentions in saving him, especially a serious criminal like this who was responsible for a murder and could often help do some very difficult things at the most critical moment.
So in the following period of time, Lin Lidong did not treat Zhang Feng badly at all, and treated him as his own brother. In order to better conceal his identity, he changed his nickname to "Madman" and worked as a waiter in the casino under the bar. He usually served tea and water, helped gamblers guide the way, ran errands and moved chips, which was quite easy.
The profits from the underground casino are the most lucrative branch among Tianqi's three industries. It is no exaggeration to say that the combined profits from Tianqi Restaurant, Tianqi Office Building and Tianqi Bar are far less than the profits from the underground casino.
Anyone who has come into contact with Lin Lidong knows that although he has a straightforward personality, he is famous for his loyalty and is generous to his brothers. Those younger brothers who are trusted and kept to work in the casino are all treated very generously.
As the saying goes, when you have no money, you share it; when you have money, you spend it together. That’s what brothers are!
After Zhang Feng joined in, he was naturally no exception. In his opinion, he actually did nothing but some odd jobs within his ability. Compared with the gratitude for taking him in and saving his life, these things were not worth mentioning at all.
But when it came time to pay salaries, Lin Lidong still didn't forget about him, and treated him the same, not differently from other younger brothers, and directly put the five-digit cash into Zhang Feng's hand.
Zhang Feng was flattered and didn't accept it at all. He immediately returned it and said with a touched face, "I am very grateful that you can take me in. With my current status, I don't have the opportunity to go out and spend money... You should take this money back..."
Lin Lidong smiled and said, "If our industry can continue to flourish, then everyone will have enough meat to eat. But things are unpredictable, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. Save this money carefully, it will come in handy someday!"
You don't need to thank me. If you really have a grateful heart, just remember Brother Tian's kindness!"
From that moment on, the seed of loyalty in Zhang Feng took root deep in his heart. Although he knew that Lin Lidong and You Tianfu were not doing legitimate business, with his status, he had nothing to be afraid of, so he continued to work wholeheartedly.
Just after several people formulated the plan to assassinate Wu Wenshan, two days before the operation, Zhang Feng discovered that a gambler at the chess and card table seemed to be cheating, but he was not sure, so he thought about going to Lin Lidong to report the situation so that the professionals behind the casino could analyze and identify it.
When he arrived at the door of Lin Lidong's office, he saw that the door was ajar. He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but he heard the voices of Lin Lidong and Liangzi talking from inside.
After learning about the plan, Ryoko was also very worried about Lin Lidong's safety, so she couldn't wait to find him in the bar. Between the lines, she wanted him to send a few reliable trusted brothers to take action, and not to participate in person to avoid any accidents.
Lin Lidong responded with a wry smile, "Brother Tian has already gone into battle himself, and I'm sending my little brother. How can this be considered unreasonable? And even though we have thousands of men under our command, there aren't many who are truly reliable. Only we brothers have the ability to assassinate Wu Wenshan and adapt to the situation!"
Don't worry, I'll be fine. I promise you, this is the last time I'll take such a risk! After this incident, when the feud between Daqin Group and Wenshan Commerce is resolved, I'll accompany you to Japan, visit your hometown, and then go to Mount Fuji to see the cherry blossoms!"
Liangzi understood Lin Lidong's character, and even more so his temper. She knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. She had no choice but to nod and agree, and repeatedly reminded him to be careful!
And Zhang Feng, who was outside the door, also learned the whole story!
He didn't intend to eavesdrop, it was just a coincidence. At that time, Lin Lidong and Liangzi were halfway through their conversation, and he didn't know whether he should leave or go in. While he was hesitating, he "passively" listened to the whole thing.
Zhang Feng then did not hide anything. He mustered up the courage to knock on the door. After entering the office, he first reported the unusual situation at the casino. Then, he changed the subject and told the information he had just overheard. He puffed out his chest and said:
"Brother Dong, please let me join in. I've killed several people, and I'm not afraid of killing one more. If anything goes wrong, I can still come forward to take the blame!"
Lin Lidong understood what he meant, but he also knew that although Zhang Feng had killed people, he was not actually a gangster and had no martial arts skills or combat experience. Although he was loyal, he was truly unable to do what he wanted. So he politely refused and told him to keep it secret and never leak the news, otherwise it would lead to disaster!
Zhang Feng nodded in agreement, but he was still brooding over it after returning. Ever since he joined Lin Lidong, he seemed to have started a new life, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to repay his friend Tianfu's kindness.
This was a great opportunity, so a bold idea came to his mind.
On the day of the planned operation, a group of people gathered around the grassland. In another direction, Zhang Feng also approached the area and found an opportunity to step forward and sneak into the villa.
He originally wanted to complete the assassination alone to save You Tianfu and others a lot of trouble. The circle of earth explosives on his body was also the last insurance to prevent himself from being discovered and unable to escape.
But after entering the villa, he was dumbfounded when he saw the security guards patrolling inside and outside. He had neither the ability to run silently nor was he familiar with the terrain of the villa, and he had no idea where Wu Wenshan was at the moment. So he found a secluded place to hide and wait for an opportunity to act.
Not long after, You Tianfu and others also sneaked in, then ran to the third floor and triggered the alarm.
Zhang Feng heard the alarm and knew that You Tianfu and the others had been discovered, so he showed up and ran upstairs regardless of everything.
Originally, he wanted to join forces with his friend Tianfu and contribute his own strength, but when he chased to the third floor, he encountered ten people blocked in the bedroom!
The situation was urgent and there was no better solution. The homemade explosives on him became his only life-saving straw, which led to what happened later.
Zhang Feng was completely prepared for death, so he lit the fuse without hesitation. Having stayed in the casino for a long time, he had also learned a few tricks. This time, he was betting on everyone's lives, betting that the Black and White Devils would not be afraid of death and compromise!
