Half past eleven.
Zhang Fan walked out of the hall, handed in a stack of application forms, and received another stack of application forms back.
A good news.
The funeral industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and related businesses have also been improved. In addition, a special express channel has been opened recently. There is no major problem with Zhang Fan’s procedures and they can be completed quickly.
However, Zhang Fan did not feel happy about this.
Because in the conversation with the staff just now, he learned that the newest cemetery built in Nancheng had been acquired by a subsidiary of Nansheng Group.
Nansheng Group is the most powerful group in Nancheng, without a doubt.
The founder of Nansheng Group is currently the richest man in Nancheng. In Nancheng, few people can be compared with him.
There was no chance of winning the bid against such an opponent in the first place, but they still won.
If Zhang Fan still has ideas about this cemetery, it would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
"Let's see what the system does."
Shaking his head, Zhang Fan didn't think any more about it. He got into the taxi that had been waiting on the roadside for a long time and went to the funeral home.
As long as you can get the certificate, you have completed the system task. As for the cemetery, it’s not too late to talk about it later.
…
The basement of the arcade.
Zhao Feng has been hung up.
Under Brother Dao's scheming and coercion, Zhao Feng is already heavily in debt.
"Call your family and tell them when they give you the two million, you can leave!"
Brother Dao threw a cell phone to Zhao Feng, and asked his younger brother to go forward and loosen the rope, forcing him to ask his family for money.
Being forced to this point, Zhao Feng had no choice.
He originally thought that he could leave after losing the money he won, but he didn't expect Brother Dao to not give him any chance at all.
Now that his parents are gone, it is even less likely that the villagers can raise 2 million yuan for him.
The only person I can ask for help at the moment is my cousin Zhao Yong.
He knew very well that although his cousin was very capable, he never gambled, would never attack a living person, and would never expose his strength in front of outsiders.
This time, I have to cause trouble for my cousin again...
But there was no way. Zhao Feng had been beaten and was afraid that he would be stuck here.
After some psychological struggle, Zhao Feng dialed Zhao Yong's number.
…
As soon as Zhang Fan entered the funeral home, he saw Zhao Yong, who was frowning and talking on the phone with someone unknown.
Zhao Yong was full of apologies in his words, but his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Especially after a scream was heard from the other end of the phone, Zhao Yong clenched his fists.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan asked with concern: "Brother Yong, what happened?"
"throat……"
Zhao Yong sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My cousin went to play cards today. I don't know what happened, but he owed two million. Now the other party wants money, and he won't let him go unless you pay."
"Two million... that's too much." Zhang Fan frowned and said, "How about this, I'll call Liu Jun and see if I can help."
"No need, I'll take care of this matter." Zhao Yong shook his head and said, "I know Xiaofeng. No matter how unlucky he is, he can't lose two million. He must have been tricked by the other party."
"That's right. It's my luck that I earned at the cost of my life." Wang Kai took over the conversation and said, "It's good to get a beating. It will teach you a lesson."
Zhao Yong didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Boss, I want to... ask for a favor."
"Forehead……"
Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't take out two million right now. So, you go and borrow it first. We'll find a way to solve the problem when we find out how much is shortfall."
"No, I won't lend you money." Zhao Yong waved his hand and said, "I want you to come with me. There are some things that I can't interfere with."
"Where are you going? Playing cards?" Zhang Fan asked.
Zhao Yong nodded slightly, and Zhang Fan waved his hand quickly and said, "I really can't do it. I'm lucky enough to understand the rules. I can only play for two dollars at most."
"Just place your bets, and leave the rest to me." Zhao Yong said seriously.
"oh?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Fan instantly became interested.
Could it be that... Zhao Yong also has a solution in this regard?
Doesn't it mean to treat others in their own way?
Just as Zhang Fan was hesitating, Wang Kai suddenly said, "It's a cracked version, go play it."
OK?
Looking at the serious Zhao Yong and the eager Wang Kai, Zhang Fan had made up his mind and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
After saying that, Zhang Fan turned around and walked out of the funeral home: "Did I send you the address?"
“Yes.”
Zhao Yong followed behind him, and Wang Kai grabbed a bag and said, "Watch the door, I'll go too."
Five minutes later, the three of them got into Zhao Yong's classic car and headed to the video game arcade.
Li Xiaohui is responsible for guarding the store.
…
Arcade, children's area.
"What's Daddy's dad's name? Daddy's dad's name is Grandpa."
"What's Daddy's mom's name? Daddy's mom..."
After the commendation meeting, master and apprentice Liu Jun and Li Shaohui didn't even have lunch and rushed to the video game arcade owned by Brother Dao.
At this time, the two were sitting on two toy cars, observing the situation.
"Master, this 'Brother Dao' is obviously the boss of a construction company, why does he want to run an arcade?"
"The most important thing is that he comes to check every day. The difference in profits between the two companies can't be even a little bit, right?"
"So, there is probably something wrong here." Liu Jun glanced at his apprentice and whispered, "Keep a close eye on it and see if there are any suspicious people. I suspect this may be an illegal transaction site."
"good!"
At the same time, below the two of them.
In the parking lot on the second underground floor, after Zhang Fan and the other two parked the car, Zhao Yong called the other party.
"Are you Zhao Feng's family?"
"right."
"Come with me."
Three minutes later, a young man dressed in black led them to the underground chess and card room.
Halfway through the journey, the young man couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan as he walked.
He always felt that this face seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it at once.
But when he led the three people to the box where Brother Dao was, the young man finally couldn't help but ask: "Hello, may I ask...are you Brother Funeral?"
Zhang Fan smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, Changhong Funeral, you can contact me for business."
“I, I, I, I…”
After hearing this, the young man was so scared that he stuttered. Everything suddenly came to his mind. It was definitely this face.
"Did you bring the people?"
At this moment, Brother Dao pushed the door open and walked out. He wanted to take a stroll in the chess and card room, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Fan and the other two.
He looked at his younger brother and asked, "Is this Zhao Feng's family?"
“Daodao, Brother Dao, yes, yes, yes…but but but, yes, he he he.”
"Get lost."
Brother Dao pushed the younger brother aside, looked at Zhang Fan and the other two and said, "Come in with me."
After saying that, Brother Dao turned around domineeringly and led the three people in.
There was no sign of Zhao Feng in the box. Zhao Yong frowned and asked, "Where is he?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'll let him go when I see the money." Brother Dao sneered, "This kid now owes me three million in total, and I caught him cheating just now. If I don't pay him, he will lose something."
"Didn't you say two million?" Zhao Yong asked.
"Wait for me to finish what I'm saying, why are you in such a hurry? He just played again." Brother Dao made up a lie and then asked, "Did you bring the money?"
"What's the hurry?"
Wang Kai rushed ahead of Zhao Yong and said, "Since you are not in a hurry, then we are not in a hurry either. Let's play two games?"
"?"
Brother Dao was stunned for a moment.
Are all the people in this family gamblers?
I asked you to come and rescue someone, and you want to play two games with me with the ransom?
"Do you dare?"
Without waiting for Brother Dao to speak, Wang Kai challenged.
"joke!"
Hearing this, Brother Dao was instantly unhappy and waved his hand, saying, "Mahjong, poker, dice, whatever you want."
"Then let's play mahjong." Wang Kai said casually.
"OK!"
Brother Dao casually clapped his hands, and four long lines slowly appeared on the table, and he sent the mahjong up: "You three all want to play, right?"
"No, no, no, it's enough for him to play alone, otherwise the money he wins will be too little." Wang Kai pointed at Zhang Fan and said.
"Haha, then I can call anyone I want." Brother Dao laughed and let me be the one on top of you. I will eat you dry just by eating Hu!
"no problem!"
After they agreed on the bottom bet and the rules of play, Zhang Fan sat at the table.
Picking up the wind and shaking the sieve, Zhang Fan stood still, sitting firmly in the east wind.
The next step is to draw cards.
To be honest, Zhang Fan was very unsure about such a big game.
Before grabbing the cards, he looked at Zhao Yong specifically. After getting an affirmative look, Zhang Fan grabbed a handful of cards with confidence.
Four cards, all black: East, West, South, North.
When Zhang Fan saw this hand of cards, he was stunned.
Damn it, where is the cracked version?
Aren't these four pure useless cards?
I hope this thing can produce a general when playing Hu!
"What are you doing? Draw a card!"
Seeing Zhang Fan in a daze, Brother Dao exchanged cards with the younger brother next to him while reminding him.
"Um."
I don’t care about it!
The worst that can happen is that you lose and then retreat.
Coming back to his senses, Zhang Fan grabbed another handful of cards.
At first glance, there were four black cards, East, West, South, and North Wind.
"hiss……"
Seeing this hand of cards, Zhang Fan vaguely guessed something and subconsciously looked back. Zhao Yong gave him another affirmative look.
Now, Zhang Fan was completely relieved.
Draw a card!
The wind is blowing from the east, west, south and north again.
Twelve cards are dealt, with East, West, South, and North Wind each holding three.
"Dark rod!"
During the carrying pole segment, Zhang Fan shouted without even looking at it.
Hearing this, Brother Dao was speechless: "Can you at least take a look? Do you know how to play?"
"What do you care about me?"
Zhang Fan glanced at him, then picked up another card from the end of the deck, also without looking at it:
"Dark rod!"
"Are you crazy?"
"Are you crazy?"
After not looking at the cards for two times in a row, Brother Dao and the others were a little overwhelmed and looked at Zhang Fan in surprise.
Does this kid know how to play?
Even if you are a veteran, it is better to rub the cards with your fingers, right?
However, Zhang Fan didn't care about everyone's gaze and checked again without looking at the cards:
"Dark rod!"
“…”
This time, Brother Dao and others were directly angry.
You'd better really be a hidden rod, otherwise I'll rip the skin off you!
"Dark rod!"
After four consecutive hidden sticks, Dao Ge and others were no longer talking, and some were even speechless.
You have a hidden shot, okay, I will make you a hidden shot later.
When Zhang Fan arranged the cards and casually flipped over two fortune cards, everyone's eyes turned to him.
"The four hidden poles of the Eighteen Arhats are all the same color and they are all self-touched!"
"Fuck you, turn over the cards!"
