Chapter 99 Evidence That Is Not Evidence



On the main street in the south of the city, Zhang with buck teeth lay unconscious on the side of the road for a long time, and only woke up when it was dawn.

For him, tonight should have been a wonderful night. The girl he had been coveting for a long time was finally in his hands. He wanted to bring her home and have some fun with her, but he didn't expect that she would be attacked by someone on the way.

The beating was not light. In addition to the bruises and swellings of various sizes on his body, the most serious blow was the bricks. Three of his ribs were broken. The last blow was hit on the face through the backpack, which made Zhang's nose bleed and one of the two representative buck teeth in his mouth fell out!

Until Bucktooth Zhang was sent to the hospital, he still held the backpack tightly in his hand and ordered his subordinates to find out the owner of the backpack and take revenge!

Zhang Cheng's building materials factory also suffered heavy losses, but the biggest loss was not due to the fire in the warehouse, but from the frequent malfunctions of various machines.

If the goods are burned, they can be made again, but once the machine breaks down, a group of people can only stretch their necks and wait for someone to repair it.

Lin Lidong did not miss any machine that could be tampered with, and tried his best to destroy it. Although some of them had only minor problems, it would take the maintenance workers at least ten days to half a month, and sometimes even several months, to completely repair them after checking them one by one.

As a result, Zhang Cheng's large orders became increasingly difficult to fulfill, and many merchants, unable to wait for their goods, had no choice but to move elsewhere. This allowed the building materials factory of You Tianfu and others to take advantage. Not only did they regain Huang Zhengye's business, but they also unexpectedly received several additional orders.

A few days passed, and although Chinatown appeared calm on the surface, undercurrents were surging. The brothers were busy at the building materials factory, happy for the few orders they had secured.

Bucktooth Zhang wasn't idle either. Although he was lying in the hospital, he was constantly under investigation. His injuries were serious and he couldn't get out of bed for ten days or half a month. When Xie Jiannan heard about it, he went to the hospital in person to inquire about the details.

On the night of the action, destroying Zhang Cheng Building Materials Factory was part of the plan, but beating up Zhang with buck teeth was not. No one would have thought that they would meet Zhang with buck teeth alone in the middle of the night.

Even though You Tianfu had tried his best to block all the news, and didn't even tell Aunt Hong and Qin Yuhao, he still missed an important detail - the backpack!

The backpack buckled on Zhang's head was something Murong Jie casually found in the factory warehouse. At that time, he was only thinking about what means to use to cause trouble in the south of the city. He didn't care about the appearance of the backpack at all, nor did he notice that the label on the inside of the backpack clearly printed the five small words "Nansheng Steel Plant" and the color code of the backpack and other related information.

Nansheng Steel Factory was the name Chen Dong gave when he opened the factory. The five big characters are still printed on the gate of the building materials factory. This batch of backpacks were also produced by the factory itself for the workers to use.

In fact, this cannot be considered as evidence, because when the factory closed, the worker group disbanded, and these backpacks also flowed into the outside world. It is not uncommon for them to appear anywhere.

But recently, the relationship between Zhang with buck teeth and others like You Tianfu had become strained, and they had even gotten into a fight over Huang Zhengye. That same night, they learned that Zhang Cheng's building materials factory had been burned down. Putting all these things together, Zhang with buck teeth immediately complained to Xie Jiannan:

"It's definitely those little brats. They're so fearless thanks to Chen Dong's backing. They're a bunch of greenhorns. If they dare to lay a hand on me in the middle of the night today, they'll dare to step on your head, Brother Nan, tomorrow. I've been hanging around in Chinatown for so many years, and I've never been subjected to such a humiliation. Brother Nan, you have to give me an explanation!"

Xie Jiannan, with his round belly protruding, snorted, "You're being called Brother Tai every day, yet in the end you can't even handle a few brats, and you still have the nerve to complain! Just stay in the hospital honestly for the next few days. Withdraw your people, and I'll take care of the rest."

After leaving the hospital, Xie Jiannan smoked a cigarette at the door, his eyes looking into the distance as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he seemed to have an idea in his mind and waved his hand to the younger brother beside him: "Let's go to the Chengdong Building Materials Factory!"

Soon, seven or eight people, led by Xie Jiannan, arrived at the Chengdong Building Materials Factory. You Tianfu and the others also came out upon hearing the noise. Although they didn't recognize the unfamiliar face before them, their behavior and the unspoken aura they exuded could tell that this person was no ordinary person.

Before reaching the factory gate, You Tianfu had already started to look at him from afar. He was a fat man with frog eyes, a short stature and an ugly appearance. This was what Lunzi had described before. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Xie Jiannan, the boss of the south city.

When they met, Hao Zhengguang saw that the other party was small in number and was about to shout when You Tianfu pulled him behind him. He then greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Brother Nan, I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Don't stand at the door, come in and have a cup of tea and rest your feet. My factory is really a great honor!"

Xie Jiannan's eyes flashed with surprise, but then he laughed out loud. "You knew who I was the first time we met. It seems you little brats have done your homework. No need to drink tea. I just came to ask how much you plan to contribute to the medical expenses for the fire at the Chengnan Building Materials Factory and for Bucktooth Zhang's medical expenses."

These words hit the nail on the head. The faces of the brothers instantly darkened and they were secretly nervous. They were all wondering how Xie Jiannan knew that the matter was done so perfectly.

You Tianfu was stunned for a moment, feigning surprise. "Building materials factory fire? Bucktooth Zhang's medical expenses? Brother Nan, I don't quite understand what you're saying. If you're taking a leisurely stroll, I'll applaud and welcome you. But if you're here to accuse me, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place."

After he finished speaking, before Xie Jiannan could open his mouth, a burly man behind him immediately cursed: "Little bitch, I'm giving you face, you dare to talk to Brother Nan like that, do you want to die!?"

Xie Jiannan was not angry. He took the backpack from the arms of his younger brother and threw it to You Tianfu: "Without evidence, I will not speak empty words.

Bucktooth Zhang had three ribs broken and a tooth lost. This backpack was placed over his head. It was custom-made by your factory, and it even has your name printed on it. If you don't believe me, go ask Chen Dong and let him tell you in person.

After unzipping the backpack and seeing the label inside, You Tianfu's heart skipped a beat. If the men continued to deny it, Xie Jiannan wouldn't be able to do anything. After all, this type of backpack had already been in circulation, so it barely counted as evidence, but strictly speaking, it wasn't much of one.

But when the brothers realized that they had been exposed, they completely ignored this aspect. Their facial expressions were a little confused, their eyes were tense and their faces were tense, and they almost nodded in admission.

Seeing their state, Xie Jiannan instantly confirmed his suspicions; this was the purpose of his visit. Then, a sneer spread across his face, and he turned away without looking back. "Take care of yourselves. Chen Dong will come find you!"
