"Brother Xing, I want to buy some goods. You can name the price. I don't have many days left to live anyway, so I might as well live happily. There is no use keeping the money in my hand." "Bamboo Pole" said to Zhou Jiaxing with a wry smile.
"You don't have any money! You're always on credit." Zhou Jiaxing looked down on "Bamboo Pole." When Zhou Jiaxing and Huangmao got involved, Gu Tiezhu repeatedly told them that in their line of work, they could only handle the "goods" and avoid drugs or addiction, otherwise they would be killed. Zhou Jiaxing knew so many potential buyers, but only "Bamboo Pole" was foolish enough to get addicted. Over the years, not only did he not make any money, he had squandered his family's once-good fortune, and now his life was at stake.
"Brother Xing, Zhugan is rich. If you have any goods, why not sell them to him? He sold his family's courtyard house a few days ago." "Bucktooth Man" spoke up for Zhugan. In fact, ever since Zhou Jiaxing and Huangmao stopped appearing at Dynasty, "Bucktooth Man" has been running out of goods. And it wasn't just "Bucktooth Man." After more than half a month of consumption during the Lunar New Year holiday, the entire underground market in Kyoto was out of stock, with prices already doubled from what they were before the Lunar New Year.
The "bucktooth man" was shrewd. He had once heard Zhou Jiaxing boast about knowing the big brother who supplied the goods. Seeing Zhou Jiaxing today, the "bucktooth man" was definitely looking for an opportunity to buy more "goods" from Zhou Jiaxing to avoid watching his chance to "get rich" slip away before his eyes.
"Really?" Zhou Jiaxing looked at "Bamboo Pole" from head to toe with suspicion.
"Brother Xing, I am really rich." Seeing Zhou Jiaxing looking down on him like that, "Bamboo Pole" couldn't help but get angry. He tremblingly took out a stack of money from his arms and slammed it on the small square table in front of Zhou Jiaxing.
Really rich? How about... going for something big? Zhou Jiaxing stared at the pile of money on the table, and a good idea flashed through his mind.
Zhou Jiaxing didn't have the goods. However, Zhou Jiaxing knew that Gu Tiezhu had them! They were in the utility room of the Yunyun Garment Factory, and Zhou Jiaxing had put them there himself! For the sake of money, he decided not to frame Zhao Yunxiang. There were so many goods, and so much money!
As long as he could get the bag of "goods" without telling that idiot Gutiezhu, Zhou Jiaxing would be rich. Then, he wouldn't have to beg Gutiezhu to help him get rich, he could just take the money and run away. With so much money, what difference would it make whether he returned home or not?
But... the security at Yunyun Garment Factory was quite tight, and it was impossible for him to get the bag out by himself. Last night, he and Gutiezhu were caught just as they jumped off the wall.
"Brother Xing, how about it? Sell some of the goods you have to me!" Seeing Zhou Jiaxing staring at the large stack of money on the table with sparkling eyes, the "bucktooth man" hurried over.
Zhou Jiaxing stared at the "bucktooth man" for a moment before an idea struck him. The "bucktooth man" wanted to buy goods, and he wanted to sell them. Without Gu Tiezhu, he'd definitely need help. This person, the "bucktooth man," seemed like a good fit. As long as he got the money and ran away, what could Gu Tiezhu do to him?
The more Zhou Jiaxing thought about it, the more he thought his idea was brilliant. The "bucktooth man" was a well-known figure in the area, commanding over a dozen men, all of whom were fearless and brave, willing to resort to ruthless tactics when seizing territory. Many within the Dynasty were afraid of him.
As for "Bamboo Pole", Zhou Jiaxing directly ruled him out. With "Bamboo Pole" in such a state, not to mention running away, he would be out of breath and almost dying even after walking a few steps. Even if he was willing to follow Zhou Jiaxing, Zhou Jiaxing didn't want to be dragged down by him!
"Big Teeth, do you know any brothers? The kind that can climb walls and run fast?" Zhou Jiaxing asked the "bucktooth man" directly.
"What's up? Is there anything Brother Xing can do for you?" the "bucktooth man" asked quickly. Besides selling drugs, the "bucktooth man" and his gang also engaged in activities like grabbing territory, collecting protection fees, and fighting for others.
"I have the goods, but I need to pick them up at a secret place. If you really want to buy them, ask a few more capable brothers to go with me and get this done first." Zhou Jiaxing stated his request.
"Alright! All twelve of us in the Big Teeth Gang, including me, are at Brother Xing's beck and call. However, after you get this thing back, you have to sell it to me at half the price, 20% off the previous price." The "bucktooth man" was now in high spirits and agreed to Zhou Jiaxing's request. However, the "bucktooth man" wasn't stupid and was determined to maximize his profits. Even if Zhou Jiaxing sold it to him at last year's original price, let alone a 20% discount, he was confident he'd make a killing.
"Okay, call your brothers and follow me later. We're going to do this..." Zhou Jiaxing suddenly felt confident. With the help of more than a dozen members of the "Da Ya Gang," all his ingenuity and talent came to the fore. He simply formulated a "feint to the east and attack in the west" plan, determined to get the package tonight. It was his carelessness yesterday that had caught him red-handed by the patrol. If he was more careful tonight, he didn't believe he would be caught again.
The situation was exactly as Zhou Jiaxing had anticipated. Zhou Jiaxing and the "Da Ya Gang" went through the "collection" process tonight with remarkable success. Zhou Jiaxing fully utilized his "talents," first having several members of the "Da Ya Gang" distract the patrolmen from the Yunyun Garment Factory. Then, Zhou Jiaxing, familiar with the area, made his way into the utility room and successfully retrieved the large bag of "white powder" he had previously placed there. He excitedly returned to the "Dynasty" Entertainment City.
In "Dynasty", after "Bamboo Pole" knew that Zhou Jiaxing had a lot of goods, he immediately notified a large group of people to come and buy them.
Zhou Jiaxing wanted to escape, so he offered a random price, which attracted more than a dozen people to scramble for the money. Just as Zhou Jiaxing was happily preparing to leave with a large bag of money, dozens of uniformed police officers rushed into the box and detained Zhou Jiaxing and his companions.
"Comrade Public Security, comrade Public Security, what do you want? This is a licensed, legitimate entertainment venue." Lao Jin, the manager of "Dynasty," saw the situation was not looking good and quickly stepped out to smooth things over. Zhou Jiaxing and his group were trading in a private room, and by blocking the door, they caught both buyers and sellers.
"Someone reported that someone is conducting illegal transactions here. Everyone raise your hands and squat against the wall. Whether you are okay or not, we will tell you after we search." The team leader today is Xu Zhiyuan. He is an old policeman with rich experience in handling cases. It is impossible for him to change his approach just because of Lao Jin's vague threats.
Are you kidding! This operation was directly ordered by the Ministry of Public Security. No matter how powerful Lao Jin's backing is, he has no choice but to accept defeat this time.
