"Yeah, can't we even sit here all day with a cup of milk tea if we don't want to go online? If not, I'll bring another two hundred people over tomorrow!"
"Go ahead and call the police to arrest us if you dare!"
"Haha, I was just making a normal purchase, why are the police arresting us? Go ahead and call the police, you coward!"
Tang Xiaohu fanned the flames from the side, and the thugs who came with him shouted and clamored.
I have to say, these two brothers are really disgusting. They're like toads—they don't bite, they just annoy you.
Even if you call the police, they can't do anything about it. After all, they're smart enough not to vandalize or damage property. At most, they've caused trouble, which doesn't even constitute disorderly conduct.
Li Qiang, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Tang Xiaolong, don't be so arrogant. Do you think you can call on people?"
"Hey, where did this little brat come from? Li Qiang? Who do you think you are to dare call me that in front of my brother? When we were hanging out in Old Factory Street, you were still wetting the bed!" Tang Xiaohu immediately sneered.
"Hahaha!"
Tang Xiaohu's words drew laughter from everyone. Indeed, they were older than Li Qiang, had been in the business for a longer time, and had much more seniority.
Li Qiang was so angry he couldn't speak, and he clenched his fists, wanting to hit him.
Tang Ping pulled him back, telling him that it was definitely unwise to start a fight in his own internet cafe. If they fought, Tang Ping would only suffer the consequences.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Ping pulled up a chair and sat down next to Tang Xiaolong. He leaned close to Tang Xiaolong's ear and whispered, "Brother Long, you shouldn't be too arrogant. I know you have influence in the Old Factory Street area, but don't forget, you're in trouble yourself right now."
"What do you mean?" Tang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, not understanding.
Tang Ping smiled slightly and said, "Bai Jiangbo is dead. Do you think he betrayed you before he died to protect his wife and children? Bai Jiangbo was just the employer, but you were the ones who did it. Do you think Xu Jiang will let you go?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaolong's eyes widened, and he was about to stand up agitated: "How do you know...? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tang Ping pulled his arm, lowered his voice, and said with a faint smile, "Hey, don't get excited. Right now, only I know about this. If you insist on causing trouble, then I can't guarantee anything."
Standing there, Tang Xiaolong remained silent for a long time, his face ashen, before finally waving his hand and saying, "Let's go!"
"Brother, we haven't settled things yet, why are we leaving?"
Tang Xiaohu asked, puzzled.
Tang Xiaolong glared at him and snapped, "I said, get out! Don't you understand? Get out! All of you, get the hell out of here! Are you just going to stay here and wait to die?"
After saying that, Tang Xiaolong left.
Tang Xiaohu was dumbfounded. He and his underlings looked at each other for a long time, and could only grit their teeth and leave angrily.
With the troublemakers gone, the internet cafe resumed normal operations.
Tang Ping instructed, "Qiang, have someone get some air freshener to dissipate the smoke in the smoke-free area. A bunch of troublemakers, making it all smoky and unpleasant."
Li Qiang was still a little stunned and asked curiously, "Brother Ping, what did you say to Tang Xiaolong? He actually left in a huff?"
"It's nothing, just focus on your work."
Tang Ping smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and offered no explanation.
No sooner had Tang Xiaolong left than Wu Kun arrived, bringing a large group of men armed with weapons. Upon entering and seeing Tang Ping, he immediately demanded, "Where's Tang Xiaolong? Damn it, someone's causing trouble, why didn't you notify me?"
"Never mind, Brother Kun, everything's settled. You've made a wasted trip, so I'll treat everyone to tea!" Tang Ping said with a smile.
Wu Kun was still a little skeptical and asked in surprise, "Really gone? Tang Xiaolong, that scoundrel, is not someone to be trifled with. Boss Tang, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"Thank you, thank you. It's really resolved. Thank you for your concern," Tang Ping said.
Although Wu Kun isn't particularly successful, he's a loyal friend and someone worth having.
With Tang Xiaolong's matter resolved, Tang Ping was too lazy to go home and simply took a nap in the internet cafe's office.
In the afternoon, we also interviewed two young people from out of town who came to Jinghai to work. They were a young couple.
The man's name was Wang Dong, and the woman's name was Zhang Ning. They were both in their early twenties, in the prime of their youth. Zhang Ning, in particular, was quite pretty.
"The salary is 1,000 yuan, eight hours a day, three shifts, and food and lodging are provided. Well, you two can stay in the dormitory for now, and after a while, I'll find a separate house for you to rent," Tang Ping said.
"Thank you, boss, thank you!"
The two were very grateful, especially Wang Dong, who had been dissatisfied with several factory jobs before. He was finally fortunate to have met such a generous boss as Tang Ping, who offered high wages and good benefits.
Tang Ping smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. Just do your job well, and I won't treat you unfairly. Also, if you have any difficulties in life, just tell me. In short, working for me means you're like family. You're still young, so don't just play games during your rest time. Use your free time to study and learn some skills, which will benefit you in the future."
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Who is it?
Tang Ping asked impatiently.
Wang Dong was quick-witted and hurriedly went to open the door, but unexpectedly, two policemen came.
The people who came were An Xin and Li Xiang, this pair of partners. Why would they be looking for me?
Could it be that Tang Xiaolong came to cause trouble and someone called the police?
Tang Ping was a little puzzled, so he quickly sent Wang Dong and Zhang Ning, the young couple, out to do some errands.
"Hello, I am Li Xiang from the Criminal Investigation Division."
"Anxin."
Li Xiang showed his identification.
There was actually no need to show identification; Tang Ping already knew them, but perhaps it was just procedure.
After the procedure was completed, An Xin finally smiled and said, "Tang Ping, we meet again. We came to see you this time to ask about some things. You should know about Xiawan Fish Farm, right?"
It's not because of Tang Xiaolong.
Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "I know, I used to get my fish from there. But I sold my fish stall before the New Year, and I haven't been there in a long time."
Xiawan Fishing Ground is the place where Xu Jiang's son, Xu Lei, died from electrofishing.
That's Bai Jiangbo's territory.
An Xin and Li Xiang came to investigate, which was undoubtedly because of Xu Lei's case.
"We know about this. Before the Lunar New Year, we received a report of a major brawl at Xiawan Fishing Ground, in which 6 people were seriously injured and 34 were slightly injured. It was said to be because of a dispute over market share. Do you know which two groups were fighting over it?"
Tang Ping naturally knew about the brawl at Xiawan Fishing Ground, as he was the one who sourced his fish from there.
I heard that even hunting rifles were involved, and the case has become quite a big deal.
However, why is a case from last year still under investigation this year?
Tang Ping was still a little nervous: "I really don't know about this, but the fish farm used to be contracted by a man called Boss Bai. After the fight, it changed owners. His nickname is Pockmarked. I'm not very familiar with him. The fish farm staff are in charge of getting the fish in."
