Before long, Tang Xiaolong ran into the house.
Seeing this scene, he was stunned for a moment, but without thinking much, he said anxiously, "Brother Beiping, something has happened in the Shangcheng District."
Upon hearing the words "something happened," everyone's hearts tightened instantly.
Ye Beiping frowned: "What happened now?"
Jiang Hai and Jiang He are both at the police station now, what could possibly happen to them?
Surely those people who followed Jiang He before can't all be targeted for trouble, right?
Tang Xiaolong glanced at the three women on the sofa, caught his breath, and swallowed hard before saying, "Someone from the Upper City area contacted me today, saying that others have started selling leather shoes at stalls, just like them."
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly understood.
It seems that the matter between Jianghai and Jianghe is not so simple. Ye Beiping had actually suspected it before, but now it is almost certain that it is the competitors who are stirring up trouble.
Ye Beiping nodded calmly and simply said, "I understand."
Everyone was very surprised to see him so calm.
How can someone remain so calm after their business has been stolen?
Tang Xiaolong looked surprised: "Brother Beiping, isn't the Upper District going to take care of this? Shouldn't we send someone over to drive them away?"
Somewhat confused, Ye Beiping had assumed that Hou Baolin and Wu Di's area was a newly opened district with poor sales, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.
But now the Upper District has also been robbed. It's a source of one-third of Ye Beiping's income, so he can't understand why they can remain so calm.
Ye Beiping looked up at Tang Xiaolong, a calm expression on his face, and asked, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"
This question completely baffled Tang Xiaolong.
"Brother Beiping..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Beiping interrupted him, saying, "For now, let's just wait and see. We'll discuss everything once the chain stores have settled things."
"But......"
Tang Xiaolong was still unable to swallow his anger and wanted to say something, but Ye Beiping raised his voice directly.
"Xiaolong, I told you not to get involved in this. We're doing legitimate business, not gangsters. Stop fighting all the time. What kind of legitimate business can we run if we're going to be fighting?"
This statement shocked everyone.
Tang Xiaolong could only nod and purse his lips. The big boss had spoken; what else could he say?
Meanwhile, Luo Yonghao and Peng Tian were celebrating their successful entry into the Shangcheng District market and the large sum of money they had made, and they had drunk a bit too much.
When I got back, I found Mr. and Mrs. Luo sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Dad, Mom, you... hiccup." Looking at his parents, Luo Yonghao unconsciously let out a hiccup.
The father's gloomy expression and the mother's worried look were very obvious.
Seemingly afraid that Luo's father might resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, Luo's mother immediately got up and pulled Luo Yonghao to her side.
Smelling the alcohol, Luo's mother suddenly frowned and asked, "Child, why have you drunk so much?"
Luo Yonghao had drunk alcohol before, but he had never drunk this much.
It's fair to say that he didn't have the money to buy so much alcohol before, but things are different now. Money flows into his pocket like water every day, and his spending level has risen accordingly.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Luo's face darkened even more: "I'm asking you, did you take the money from me and your mother?"
It was obvious that he suspected Luo Yonghao had stolen money from his home to go out and indulge in lavish meals.
Moreover, I've hardly seen my son during this period. Before, when I came home, I would find him either watching TV or hiding in his room fiddling with things.
He hadn't paid much attention to it since he had just returned from the countryside.
But when he got off work today, his wife questioned him relentlessly, saying that a thousand yuan was missing from the house. He was so distressed that he almost called the police.
It was Luo's mother who stopped her, thinking she should ask her son first.
The door locks weren't broken, so it definitely wasn't a thief who broke in. There were also no signs of ransacking. It would be awkward if the police called and the investigation led to my son.
In particular, Luo's father was the district head of Donghu District, the same district where Ye Beiping and his colleagues worked.
Donghu District is located in the main urban area of Hangzhou, so it has the most advanced resources and development. Being the district head has many benefits. If he hadn't been valued by the higher-ups, this position would not have been given to Luo's father.
It's worth noting that the former leaders who once sat in this position are now at least bureau-level leaders in the municipal party committee.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yonghao instantly sobered up considerably and looked at his parents, trembling slightly. He knew his father all too well; he had grown up in the countryside and his father's parenting style involved either beatings or scolding.
The thought of the bamboo whip that my family always keeps ready makes my scalp tingle.
Seeing Luo Yonghao like this, what else could his parents not understand?
Luo's father immediately picked up a bamboo whip from beside the sofa, making a move to lash Luo Yonghao.
Terrified, Luo Yonghao cried out repeatedly, "Mom, Mom, save me!"
"What are you doing?" Luo's mother was also startled by Luo's father. She stretched out her arms to block the bamboo whip that was about to strike, just like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Seeing this situation made Luo's father even angrier. Every time he tried to discipline Luo Yonghao, Luo's mother would block his way like an eagle catching a chick.
"Get out of my way! If he dares to steal our money today, he'll be stealing from others someday. It's better for me to kill this brat today than to let him get beaten to death by someone else."
Snap!
Even with Luo's mother trying to stop him, Luo's father, relying on his superior strength, directly lashed Luo Yonghao with the bamboo whip.
"Awooo!" A dragon's roar echoed through the building.
