Tang Ping laughed and said, "I can drive it myself, don't worry. You should take a rest."
Bai Jinhan is the most upscale entertainment club in Jinghai, and also a notorious den of iniquity. Tang Ping insisted on buying Bai Jinhan, not for any other reason than to take advantage of Xu Jiang's desperate situation and make a fortune once things calmed down.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiang didn't want money, but instead asked him for a favor.
As for the specifics, Tang Ping wouldn't agree to anything Xu Jiang proposed that was even slightly excessive. Anyway, the contract had already been signed, and Bai Jinhan was now his.
He slept soundly until dawn, when Gao Qiqiang came looking for him early in the morning.
Tang Ping was brushing his teeth and gestured for him to wait a moment. Once his elderly mother, Zhou Xiaofeng, wasn't paying attention, Tang Ping followed Gao Qiqiang to his house.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ping asked.
Gao Qisheng wasn't home, so Gao Qiqiang made tea while saying, "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little uneasy and wanted to chat with you."
Tang Ping laughed and said, "Don't worry, after Tang Xiaolong turned himself in, the case of assaulting the police was closed. I've also heard that Xu Jiang is preparing to flee, so you don't need to worry about Xu Jiang's retaliation in the future."
Gao Qiqiang sighed and said, "It's not that, Aping. I plan to turn myself in to An Xin after Xu Jiang's matter is resolved. I'll have to trouble you to take care of my younger brother Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan from now on."
"Why?"
Tang Ping asked.
"I've been thinking about this carefully these past couple of days. Ever since I took that job with Bai Jiangbo to open the mobile phone shop, I've gotten deeper and deeper into it. To be honest, at first I really just wanted to make a little money, I never expected it to escalate like this. Even a gangster like Xu Jiang has to run away. What do you think I'll do when An Xin comes to arrest me himself..."
Gao Qiqiang paused for a moment, stared at Tang Ping, and said, "Aping, do you know? I don't care about myself. But I'm afraid of implicating Xiaosheng and Xiaolan."
"Have you thought it through?" Tang Ping asked.
Gao Qiqiang nodded and said, "Yes, I've thought it over. As long as I take full responsibility for everything, it won't affect them. Xiao Sheng can do business well, and Xiao Lan can study hard. They are both destined for great things. I can't let them narrow their paths because of me, their older brother."
Tang Ping didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took a sip of tea before saying, "But have you thought about it? You're already thirty. If you get sentenced to more than ten years, you'll be an old man when you get out. Are you willing to accept that? Besides, if you really go to jail, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan definitely won't be able to accept it."
Bang!
As the two were talking, Gao Qiqiang suddenly pushed the door open and came in, carrying a bag of braised pig's feet. He said excitedly, "Brother, I knew it! The other day you said you were going to give An Xin a big gift, which meant you were going to give yourself away. Why did you do that? What makes An Xin think he can do that?"
Gao Qiqiang was a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't I tell you to go to Old Xu's shop to buy it? Why are you back so soon?"
“Don’t change the subject, brother. I think Ping is right. You absolutely cannot turn yourself in! Do you know how much money we’ve made these past few months? The mobile phone store makes a gross profit of 100,000 yuan every month. We’re just starting to get by, and you’re going to abandon me and Xiaolan? How can we feel at ease if you go in?” Gao Qisheng said.
Gao Qiqiang said helplessly, "Xiao Sheng, you've been smart and educated since you were little. I can't let you and Xiao Lan get hurt. If Xu Jiang is arrested, he'll definitely implicate us. If I turn myself in, I can take the blame for everything. If the shop does well, you and Xiao Lan won't have to worry about making a living. If you have any trouble, just ask Brother Ping to help. I'll feel at ease in prison."
"I disagree!"
“Listen to me. I’ve never asked anything of you since you were little. You absolutely must not tell Xiaolan about this. Just say that I went to work in another city and won’t be back for several years.”
The two Gao brothers started arguing, and neither could convince the other.
bite!
Life Choice System:
1. Resolve Xu Jiang's case and help Gao Qiqiang escape punishment. Reward: [Gao Qilan's affection]
2: Ignore it and let it develop unchecked; reward: [Speed +1]
Just as the two brothers were arguing, the system's voice rang in Tang Ping's mind.
This is a very difficult choice.
The system reward of resilience enhances physical strength, granting powerful resistance to blows, with astonishing effects. Tang Ping certainly wants this speed as well.
As for helping Gao Qiqiang and gaining Gao Qilan's affections, that doesn't seem to be that important.
With money, why worry about not having women?
Moreover, she already had Meng Yu.
But when Tang Ping thought about Gao Qilan's good looks, he was a little tempted.
If a man doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble, and even loses his sense of sex, what's the point of living?
Having transmigrated, Tang Ping didn't care about anything else, but he wanted to make more money and have more women.
After thinking for a while, Tang Ping said, "Old Gao, I think you can't rush this. There are ways to get away with it. What you're worried about now is that Xu Jiang will be arrested and implicate you. But this matter is not unsolvable."
Upon hearing Tang Ping agree with his opinion, Gao Qisheng immediately said, "That's right, brother. Listen to Brother Ping. Let's think about it again. There must be a solution."
"How do we resolve this? Should we kill Xu Jiang?" Gao Qiqiang asked.
Tang Ping smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, we should kill Xu Jiang. Only the dead can't speak. Besides, Lao Gao, have you thought this through? You're worried that Xu Jiang might talk nonsense if he's arrested, but what about his protectors? They're actually more afraid than you. Xu Jiang knows too much. If we get rid of Xu Jiang, his protectors will probably be even happier than we are, and they definitely won't pursue the matter any further."
"Killing Xu Jiang, that's a bit difficult, isn't it?"
Gao Qiqiang was stunned for a moment, surprised that Tang Ping was so bold.
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Tang Ping to take it seriously.
Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "There is a bit of risk, but don't worry, let me think about it. We need a well-thought-out plan."
“That’s right, brother. Listen to Ping, we’ll definitely come up with a solution.”
"Oh well."
Tang Ping had temporarily appeased Gao Qiqiang, but he was still unsure how to kill Xu Jiang.
Originally, Gao Qiqiang was betrayed by Uncle Tai and tricked into going to the abandoned factory. As a result, Xu Jiang was killed by Lao Mo, who was arranged by Gao Qiqiang.
If it happened again, Tang Ping couldn't guarantee that Gao Qiqiang would come back alive.
For the reward of the mission, we have to give it our all.
In the afternoon, Gao Qilan rushed back from school.
Because Gao Qiqiang had planned to turn himself in, he called Gao Qilan back so the siblings could see each other one last time.
But now the plan has changed, so Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qisheng had to lie and say that the mobile phone store had made money, and the three siblings would celebrate that night, and they even invited Tang Ping.
