"So, have you found out?" Tang Xiaohu asked.
"The leader is called Hu Xiandong, the general manager of Wanziqianhong KTV, who is also the one who looks after the place. He gets off work at three or four in the morning every day and has a lover at a Wenzhou hair salon on Wuma Street, where he usually spends the night. At this time, he usually doesn't bring any underlings with him."
Tang Xiaohu nodded with a sinister smile and said, "Good, this is a good opportunity. Send someone to keep an eye on things, and we'll wait in the alley of the hair salon in Wenzhou."
One of the underlings said, "Brother Tiger, Brother Qiang only told us to inquire, not to take action, right?"
Tang Xiaohu slapped him on the head and scolded, "You're really stupid. Didn't Brother Qiang mean that we should take action? Otherwise, what would we be needed for? Hurry up and get the van ready, then find a sack, put it over his head, and just grab him."
"Good idea!"
The henchmen all nodded in agreement.
Around 3 a.m., only one guest remained in the last private room at Wanzihong KTV, so Hu Xiandong left early.
One of his henchmen said, "Brother Dong, how about I send two of my men to escort you back? Things have been a bit turbulent in Jinghai these past few days."
"What? Are you worried something will happen to me?" Hu Xiandong said with a disdainful look.
"Just in case."
"Get lost! Jinghai is such a tiny place, do you think I'm afraid of anyone eyeing it? You guys, keep a good watch on the KTV and don't disappoint the boss!"
Hu Xiandong laughed and cursed, then walked out of the KTV entrance while smoking a cigarette.
He's been in Jinghai for a while now. He usually stays at a KTV, but he sleeps at his girlfriend's place.
Her lover was called Xia, and she was naturally alluring, with large breasts and a slim waist.
She used to be a prostitute in a Wenzhou hair salon in the red-light district, but she reformed after getting together with Hu Xiandong.
These past two days, Hu Xiandong has been helping Tang Ping with some business and hasn't been able to visit her. But whenever he thinks of A-Xia's gentle figure, Hu Xiandong can't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart.
As soon as he entered a small alley, Hu Xiandong suddenly felt something was wrong; he thought he heard footsteps behind him.
Someone is following me!
Years of experience in the underworld made him more vigilant. He deliberately quickened his pace, and as he turned a corner, he suddenly looked back and saw two thugs holding sacks, about to put them over his head.
Hu Xiandong's sudden turn of his head stunned the two thugs, who stared wide-eyed and stood frozen in place.
What are you doing?
Hu Xiandong reacted quickly, shouting as he punched open the sack and kicked one of the thugs in the stomach, knocking him down. He then punched another thug in the face.
"Ouch!"
With a scream, the two thugs fell to the ground and crawled backward.
This plot isn't right. Aren't we the ones ambushing others?
Not far away, Tang Xiaohu, who was watching this scene, was also stunned and cursed, "Damn it, you two good-for-nothings, get them!"
With that, Tang Xiaohu led a few of his underlings out and rushed out, intending to take action by force.
But Hu Xiandong was nowhere to be seen in the alley. After knocking down the two thugs, he turned and ran towards the Wenzhou hair salon.
"Brother Tiger, that bastard ran away, what do we do?" his subordinate asked.
Tang Xiaohu roared angrily, "Idiot, chase after them! We have to get this done today!"
A group of people chased after Hu Xiandong to the entrance of the Wenzhou hair salon. Just as they were about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened, and Hu Xiandong strode out carrying a kitchen knife, followed by a busty young woman with a slim waist.
"Who dares to touch my man?"
The young woman, holding a broom, showed no fear whatsoever. She rushed forward and smacked one of the thugs on the head with the broom, shouting, "All of you who followed my sister Xia, come out and stop these bastards!"
The lights in the houses all around the alley were turned on.
The alleyway is a red-light district, and it's full of prostitutes. Many of them have a good relationship with Sister Xia, and all of these prostitutes have men. Aren't they all from the streets?
Although they usually act as pimps, they are very united when dealing with outsiders.
A group of scantily clad young women and thugs with gold chains emerged, aggressively surrounding Tang Xiaohu and his group.
Now it was Tang Xiaohu's turn to be dumbfounded.
He spent the whole night keeping watch and lying in ambush, but he still got killed instead.
Run!
Tang Xiaohu shouted and turned to run away first.
The battle broke out in an instant. Tang Xiaohu's side was completely on the defensive. His underlings could usually get by with him, but when it came to a real fight, they had no fighting ability at all.
The whole process took less than ten minutes, and all of Tang Xiaohu's henchmen were beaten to the ground, some even covering their heads and begging for mercy.
The only regret is that Tang Xiaohu managed to get away.
In the dead of night, Hu Xiandong didn't dare disturb Tang Ping, but instead took all these people to the Wan Zi Qian Hong KTV.
Tang Ping didn't find out about this until the next morning.
Hu Xiandong called him and asked him what to do.
“Since they started it, let’s handle it according to the rules of the underworld. I heard Tang Xiaohu has made a fortune collecting protection money in Old Factory Street; it’s time for him to bleed a little. You decide how much per head; consider it compensation for your medical expenses,” Tang Ping said.
"Yes, boss."
Tang Ping didn't really want to bother with a nobody like Tang Xiaohu.
What upset him was that Gao Qiqiang had indeed chosen to side with Uncle Tai.
Tang Xiaohu knew that Hu Xiandong was one of his men, yet he still dared to make a move. If it weren't for Gao Qiqiang's instructions, he would never have had the guts.
Gao Qiqiang, oh Gao Qiqiang, I never imagined that we would end up as enemies.
Tang Ping shook his head, left Fenglin Yayuan, and drove directly to the factory in Mang Village.
Early in the morning, factory manager Li Aiguo called to say that fire department personnel had come to inspect the factory and ordered it to close for rectification and suspend production.
How could Tang Ping agree to this? He had gone to great lengths to expedite the sourcing of machinery and equipment, and now that the factory was closed, the supply of goods would be cut off.
When Tang Ping arrived, Lin Yuan was also there. Factory director Li Aiguo was at the factory gate, talking to a group of staff members dressed in fire department uniforms.
When Li Aiguo saw Tang Ping, he seemed to have grasped a lifeline and hurriedly said, "Hey, Section Chief Liu, wait a minute, our boss is here. Boss, this is Section Chief Liu from the city fire department."
"It's no use even if your boss comes; this is a document issued by the city, and it must be rectified!"
The leader, Section Chief Liu, didn't give them any face at all and turned to get into the car and leave.
"Hello, hello, Section Chief Li, I am the factory owner."
Tang Ping quickly walked over, extended his hand, and greeted him with a smile.
However, Section Chief Liu didn't even glance at Tang Ping, and said indifferently, "Anyway, I've already conveyed the message and issued the documents. If you dare to secretly produce it, it won't be as simple as just making a rectification!"
Tang Ping awkwardly withdrew his hand, his face showing some embarrassment.
