Zhao Yu said domineeringly, "Damn it, I've invested so much money, do you think I'm going to let someone else benefit from it? This isn't just about my personal interests. Let me put it this way, the coastal highway project can only be done by me. If I don't do it, anyone else who wants to take it is just asking for trouble!"
Fox Brother, puffing on his cigarette, asked, "Will the boss agree?"
"hehe!"
Zhao Yu sneered, narrowed his eyes, stared at Brother Fox, and said, "Brother Fox, how many bosses do you have? Are you one of my men, or one of my dad's men? Hmm?"
Hearing this, Fox felt a little embarrassed. Although he was invited by Zhao Lidong to help Zhao Yu, they were still father and son. Offending Zhao Yu might have a worse outcome than offending Zhao Lidong.
He sensed Zhao Yu's displeasure and immediately said, "Young Master Zhao, that's not what I meant. I'm just afraid things will escalate. Uncle Tai has been in Jinghai for so many years; he has connections in high places and friends in all walks of life. What if..."
"What if what? In Jinghai, will his connections be of any use? People might call him Uncle Tai out of respect for his age, but if they don't, he's nothing?"
Zhao Yu scoffed and directly ordered, "Remember, find two reliable people, and do it ruthlessly. I want everyone in Jinghai to see that without my approval, no one dares to compete with me for construction work!"
"I see!"
Fox Brother reluctantly nodded in agreement.
After Zhao Yu left, Brother Fox immediately found his trusted underling, Chui Shui Qiang, and instructed him: "Find two unfamiliar out-of-town gunmen who can get things done. Also, find a secluded and safe house. Once they arrive, arrange for them to stay and wait for my notification."
Chui Shuiqiang eagerly asked, "Brother, who are you going to take care of? Is it Tang Ping? We can handle this little matter ourselves, why let outsiders benefit from it?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Have you forgotten the rules?"
Fox glared at him: "None of us can get involved in this, including you. You're only responsible for making contact; wait for my instructions. Also, stop blabbering. Do you really think you can handle this if you're the only one who knows about it?"
Chui Shuiqiang awkwardly spread his hands and said, "Brother, I can, but I don't have the money!"
Fox Brother turned around, took out several stacks of banknotes from the drawer, placed them on the table, and reminded him, "Fifty thousand is for the gunman, the rest is yours. Be careful when renting a house, don't use your own identity, find someone to help you rent, preferably an old house that no one lives in."
"Understood, brother. Don't worry about me handling things!"
When Chui Shuiqiang saw the banknotes, his eyes lit up. He pocketed the money and scurried away.
Half an hour later, Chui Shui Qiang appeared in a billiard hall on the street. He had a cigarette in his mouth, snapped his fingers at one of his underlings, called him aside, and ordered, "Find two hired guns to help me out. After it's done, they'll get 30,000, and you'll get 5,000. Can you handle that?"
The younger brother said nonchalantly, "Brother Qiang, what's the big deal? Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Okay, also help me find a house in the suburbs, somewhere safe, so they can move in first."
The younger brother blinked: "That's easy. My third aunt's cousin's neighbor's house happens to be empty. No one has lived there for years. The place is near the mountains, so it's very safe."
"Okay, once it's done, I'll treat you to a full-service package. Make sure it looks nice, and here's the deposit!"
Kou Shuiqiang patted his underling on the shoulder, then pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it over with satisfaction.
fifty thousand?
What a joke! The market price is at most 30,000. I'll definitely use the rest of the money to buy myself some food. That's the advantage of being in the underworld—money comes quickly.
Late at night, in a corner outside an illegal internet cafe, the henchman that Kou Shuiqiang had hired was making a deal with two burly men with stubble and ragged clothes who looked like beggars.
The two burly men probably hadn't showered in months, having lived and worked in internet cafes for years, and their bodies reeked of a sour smell.
"What's the price? We have to prepare the things ourselves, right?" the other party asked.
The younger brother said, "Yes, twenty thousand. I'll give you a five hundred deposit first, and we'll settle the bill after it's done. We'll arrange the accommodation."
"Isn't that a bit too little?" the burly leader hesitated.
The burly man beside him said, "Brother, let's get to work. We haven't had any work for months. If we keep picking and choosing, we'll starve to death in the internet cafe."
"Okay! Twenty thousand it is, but a five hundred deposit won't do, it has to be five thousand!"
"No problem! You'll stay here tomorrow and wait for further instructions from above."
The younger brother gave me an address, paid the deposit, glanced around, and quickly turned and left.
He wasn't afraid that the two burly men would take the money and run away. In the underworld, the most important thing is reputation. If you take the money and don't do the job, you won't be able to stay in Jinghai in the future.
Besides, his elder brother's elder brother is Brother Fox. Who in Jinghai doesn't know that Brother Fox is working for Young Master Zhao Yu?
After taking the five thousand yuan, the two burly men didn't go back to the internet cafe. They immediately went to the Longjiang Pig Trotter Rice restaurant next door, ordered two portions each, and wolfed down their food, even scooping up two bowls of soup.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, one of them suggested, "Brother, I'd like to go to the alley for a massage tonight."
The burly leader cursed, "Damn, you're already thinking about that kind of thing after just having a full meal? No way, we can't look for women before we get down to business, it's too unlucky!"
"You've been holding it in for too long. Besides, don't you want to go see Xiaohong?"
"Find my ass! That slut, she doesn't recognize me just because I'm broke! Damn, all women are the same!"
The big man cursed, but in the end he still led his younger brother into the alley.
