Although they knew that Zhang with buck teeth was the younger brother of Xie Jiannan, the top leader in the south city, the brothers were not afraid. If someone really unreasonably blocked someone's way to wealth, they would have to be tough even if the king came, otherwise they would not be able to continue their business in the future.
You Tianfu and the others had just arrived in Chinatown and had no real idea of the city's structure and gang leaders. Not to mention that it was Zhang with buck teeth who was leading people to make noise here today, even if Xie Jiannan came in person, they would still curse and beat him up.
But the workers behind him were different. Most of them had been in Chinatown for a long time. Regardless of their social class, they were familiar with the bosses in the city and knew that they were not easy to mess with.
So when everyone saw Zhang with buck teeth, their eyes trembled slightly and a trace of fear appeared on their faces. When they talked about fighting, they subconsciously took a few steps back and subconsciously hid the steel bars that they originally held as weapons behind their backs for fear of being seen.
Their movements weren't obvious, but Murong Jie saw them all. He knew that while the numbers on both sides might appear evenly matched, if a fight really came to a head, only the four of them would be fighting alone! Just as he was about to remind You Tianfu not to escalate the conflict, Zhang the Bucktooth had already rushed forward, his movements and expression identical to when he'd attacked Hao Zhengguang before. He swung his palm and slapped You Tianfu.
You Tianfu also noticed the workers' retreat. In fact, without Murong Jie's reminder, he was also thinking in his mind how to resolve today's matter without giving up business.
After much thought, he couldn't come up with a good idea. If he really went for it, the four brothers would suffer in the end. So, facing the broad, iron-like palm of Bucktooth Zhang, he didn't resist or dodge. Instead, he closed his eyes and prepared to grit his teeth and endure. After Bucktooth Zhang finished fighting and his anger subsided, there might be room for negotiation.
At this critical moment, a loud roar rang out from the side: "Stop!"
Everyone turned to look and saw that Lun had appeared next to the factory at some point. He had his hands on his chest, his head tilted to one side, and his slit-like eyes were half open and half closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Seeing Lunzi, You Tianfu was delighted and immediately called out, "Brother Lun!"
Bucktooth Zhang also frowned and asked through gritted teeth, "What the hell is going on with you, Lunzi? Why are you haunting me every day? You always have to get involved in the smallest things. What's going on? Are you closing your casino? You don't even want to watch it anymore?"
Lun raised his eyelids, but his eyes were still narrow: "This is my territory, every blade of grass and every tree is under my watchful eyes, I can appear wherever I want, whenever I want!
Why don't you just stay in your own little piece of land and run to the east of the city to act like a big shot? "
Bucktooth Zhang responded, "I came here because of this guy's building materials factory. He does business with Huang Zhengye in the south of the city. That order..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wheel: "Don't talk about those useful or useless things. Just remember to mind your own business in your own territory and retract your claws if you shouldn't cross the line.
I don't care whether it's business or not, but the building materials factory is located in the east city, and the people in the factory are from the east city. You are standing on the east city's territory and hitting people from the east city. What's the difference between this and directly hitting Mr. Dong in the face?
If you slap me today, it will be hard to explain even if it gets to Brother Nan!"
Bucktooth opened his mouth and twitched, wanting to say something but unable to speak. He knew that since the wheel had appeared today, he would definitely not gain any advantage, so he waved his hand to signal his brothers to retreat. Before leaving, he did not forget to say a harsh word: "You guys, don't let me meet you in the south of the city!"
After Zhang with the buck teeth left, several people hurriedly welcomed Lun into the factory. Murong Jie smiled and flattered him, "Brother Lun, you really are a living Buddha. You know immediately what happened in the east of the city. If you hadn't shown up today, this matter would have been really difficult for us to handle."
Lunzi waved his hand. "You're just a living Buddha, you believe my boasts. I didn't come here today because of Zhang's buck teeth, but because of that cement building in the factory. That year, the factory cafeteria exploded, and the explosion occurred right in that small cement building. So Master Dong placed the remains of his wife and daughter in it. One reason was to give their souls a place to rest, and the other was to save him the heartache of seeing them.
I came here to tell you something: you can mess around with the entire factory, but you are not allowed to open or touch that little cement house under any circumstances!
He then took a deep breath and said, "In Chinatown, the forces are clearly distributed. Besides focusing on business, you must know what you can and cannot touch, and when to be timid and when to be ruthless. In the east of the city, you can do whatever you want, and I will cover you if anything goes wrong. But outside of this area, you must be aware of your own situation. Otherwise, if you cause any trouble, even Master Dong himself will find it difficult to resolve it."
You Tianfu stared at him carefully, nodded his thanks, and pulled Lunzi to go to the restaurant for a drink, but Lunzi said he had something else to do. After saying what he needed to say, he turned and left.
As the wheels started moving, a small meeting of several people began. Murong Jie said in a deep voice, "Brother Tian, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. No matter what, Bucktooth Zhang is a big shot in Chinatown. If we stubbornly go against him, I'm afraid we won't get any good results in the end. We either need to make a quick decision on this deal with Huang Zhengye, or give up immediately. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for us."
Lin Lidong frowned, still clutching the pointed steel pipe in his hand. "No matter how big a figure he is, he's still made of flesh and blood. What are you worried about? If he dares to cause trouble again, I'll just kill him!"
Hao Zhengguang followed up, "I don't care what you want to do with others, but this bucktoothed Zhang must be left to me!"
While the others were discussing animatedly, You Tianfu remained silent. His focus wasn't on Zhang with buck teeth, but on Huang Zhengye's order. After all, 60% of the building materials had already been shipped. If something went wrong, it wouldn't just be a loss of a single sale; they would also be short of funds for future operations. The building materials factory would become the fastest-opening and fastest-bankrupting business in Chinatown!
After much thought, he decided to take the initiative and quickly sell this batch of building materials before going to compete with Zhang the Bucktooth.
So the next morning, You Tianfu and Murong Jie went to Huang Zhengye's restaurant, explained their purpose, and hoped that he could ship the building materials back first, and the remaining 60% would be produced within the agreed date.
But Huang Zhengye's tone was firm. He waved his hands repeatedly before the two of them finished speaking: "It's not that I don't care, some things are really beyond our control. Let's forget about it this time. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate again..."
