Gao Qisheng stubbornly said, "So what if he figured it out? Tiger has already taken the bait. He raided Tang Ping's place, and tonight, Tang Ping sent people to set it on fire. Wanshi Haoting's business has plummeted. We've achieved our goal."
"Yeah, Brother Qiang, that Tiger looks stupid. Even if Tang Ping figured it out, he'll be kept in the dark. If they insist on fighting, they'll both be injured, which will be advantageous to us."
Tang Xiaohu chimed in from the side.
"Shut up! He's an idiot, but I think you're the idiot! He's been in Jinghai for so many years, if he were really stupid, would he have gotten to that position?"
Gao Qiqiang glanced at him, even angrier, and said, "I'm asking you, would Wang Dalei, the one you arranged, risk his life for you for a few thousand yuan and some gambling debts? If he gets arrested, will he implicate you? Also, where did that flour come from?"
"The police summoned me, but it was just a routine questioning, and they released me immediately. As for the flour..."
As Tang Xiaohu spoke, he secretly glanced at Gao Qisheng. Seeing Gao Qisheng's sinister look, he immediately said, "The flour was ordered by a friend of mine on Taobao. It didn't cost much, and the amount was too small to warrant a criminal sentence. Even if the police come knocking, it won't matter."
"Are you sure it was given to you by a friend in the underworld? Which friend?" Gao Qiqiang asked, frowning.
Tang Xiaohu hesitated for a long time before saying, "That's right, one of Bald Yong's cellmates, who was just released a couple of days ago."
"Alright, let's leave these things at that. Xiao Sheng, I forbid you from getting involved in the Construction Group's affairs anymore, do you understand? Especially you, Xiao Hu, don't listen to him, just take care of your Bai Jinhan's affairs. Your brother went to jail, and I don't want you to go in with him."
Gao Qiqiang spoke with a serious expression, looking at Gao Qisheng and asking, "Sheng, how's business at the mobile phone store?"
“That’s great. We can make a stable profit of several hundred thousand a month.” Gao Qisheng quickly replied, just as he was about to hesitate.
There was no change in his expression.
It seems he wasn't lying.
Gao Qiqiang nodded and said, "Yes, do a good job. I don't want you to take any detours."
The three of them went downstairs, and just as they reached the door, Gao Qiqiang suddenly realized that something was wrong.
There was a cigarette butt by the door. He turned to leave, but it was too late.
A group of burly men rushed up from downstairs and immediately pinned Tang Xiaohu and Gao Qisheng down. Gao Qiqiang reacted quickly and ran a distance away, but then had to turn back.
He had no choice; he couldn't abandon his younger brother.
Gao Qiqiang walked back, stared at the group of people, and said in a deep voice, "Who is the leader among you?"
"So you're Gao Qiqiang, right? Heh, you've got some nerve, daring to come back!" the bald man sneered.
"Come at me if you have a problem, let them go!"
"You think you can just release him like that? Who do you think you are? Gao Qiqiang, I'm warning you, you're in big trouble this time. Just wait for Tiger's call!"
The bald man ignored him and had his underlings escort Gao Qisheng and Tang Xiaohu downstairs.
They were stuffed into the van, and Gao Qiqiang followed.
But the bald man pulled a hunting rifle out of his pocket, pointed it at Gao Qiqiang's forehead, and said, "If you dare take another step forward, I'll shoot you, you believe me? Get lost! Get ready to go back and raise the money!"
After saying that, the bald man waved casually and drove away.
Watching helplessly as his younger brother was taken away, Gao Qiqiang felt extremely distressed.
He knew who sent the bald man. The fact that Gao Qisheng and Tang Xiaohu were arrested meant that the other side had figured out that Gao Qisheng was behind the fight and the events in the old street.
what to do?
My brother can't be hurt!
Gao Qiqiang hurriedly called Uncle Tai and said, "Uncle Tai, Tiger from Wanshi Haoting has captured my brother and Tang Xiaohu. He said I need to raise money to ransom them. What should I do?"
"Your brother? Is he one of our construction companies?"
"no."
On the phone, Uncle Tai said coldly and ruthlessly, "What does that have to do with me? Gao Qiqiang, it's true you're my godson, but if you can't help me and instead cause me trouble everywhere, even if I wanted to help you, the other veterans in the group wouldn't agree. This group is like a big family; I can't make a one-man show and only favor you, don't you think?"
"Uncle Tai, I..."
Gao Qiqiang was stunned; he hadn't expected Uncle Tai to have this attitude.
"You got yourself into this mess, so figure out how to fix it yourself. It's too late, and at my age, it's rare for me to fall asleep. Don't call me unnecessarily in the future."
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Tai had already hung up the phone.
It's obvious he's been abandoned, and Uncle Tai won't get involved in this matter.
Tiger knew all too well why he had kidnapped his brother and Tang Xiaohu. Having suffered consecutive losses in the Old Street project and the Wanshi Mansion business, Tiger desperately needed funds.
But where would I get the money?
Gao Qiqiang was at a loss. He had considered calling the police, but if he did, both Gao Qisheng and Tang Xiaohu would have to go to jail.
In his utter helplessness, Gao Qiqiang immediately thought of Tang Ping.
Given how Gao Qisheng and Tang Xiaohu have treated Tang Ping, would he still be willing to help him?
Gao Qiqiang gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally called Gao Qilan and asked her to come back.
......
In the basement of Wanshi Mansion, Gao Qisheng and Tang Xiaohu lay on the ground, both covered in bruises.
Tiger Lord gave a special order to take good care of them.
Tang Xiaohu's face was swollen like a pig's head, but he still glared at Wang Dalei in the cage and cursed, "You traitor, you betrayed me! I'll f*** your mother!"
At first, Tang Xiaohu cursed a few times, but Wang Dalei didn't say anything. After all, it was Tang Xiaohu who had acted unfairly.
But as the cursing continued, Wang Dalei grew increasingly annoyed and retorted, "Go to hell, Tang Xiaohu! Do you think I'm stupid? I was in a casino, and you were the one who tampered with all those machines. You set me up. You deserved it, you know? Damn it, this is what happens when you screw me over!"
The two were talking loudly when suddenly, footsteps came from outside.
Tiger's fat face appeared. He looked at the two of them with interest and said with a forced smile, "Fourth brother, it seems you went too easy on him. You have so much energy to curse people."
"Damn it, drag him aside and keep fighting!"
The bald man was furious. He gave an order, and his two henchmen immediately dragged Tang Xiaohu to the corner and continued to punch and kick him.
Tang Xiaohu, who had been brutally beaten, was filled with regret.
He regretted arguing with that idiot Wang Dalei. The more Tang Xiaohu thought about it, the angrier he became, especially when he saw Wang Dalei's smug little eyes. He wanted nothing more than to chop off his mouth with a knife.
Gao Qisheng, on the other hand, remained silent even after being beaten so badly.
The bald man stepped forward, kicked him in the head, and said, "Hey, wake up, stop fucking playing dead!"
Gao Qisheng opened his eyes, but didn't even glance at the bald man. Instead, he stared at Tiger and said, "Are you Tiger?"
