Chapter 357 Silent Jianghu
Modou Cloud Club, top floor.
A group of old brothers are sitting around in a huge luxury private club halfway up the mountain.
Gao Hu, Zhang Tao, Chang Fu and their wives are also here.
Tong Zelan and Song Yanxi also came at the same time. Something big happened in Shacheng.
If it weren't for the positive forces blocking the market, the news that the catering giant Feiyangyang had closed all its stores in the city would have spread throughout the streets and alleys of the country in the first place.
If you say to close the store, then close it. He also surrounded a top private hospital in the city with more than 2,000 people.
Such news is not only earth-shattering, but it would also be a huge scandal if it were to be spread.
No wonder the locals tried so hard to cover it up.
"Old Chen is quite impulsive this time!"
"If he hadn't been so impulsive, I would have almost forgotten that he was the most ruthless person in Wang Village who dared to chase a group of thugs all over the street with just a knife."
"Yeah, Old Chen's temper has become too good over the years, and this time I just touched his bottom line."
Gao Hu recalled: "Thinking back on how fierce Old Chen was back then, he was fearless. Even now, if he goes to Shacheng, he's still a dragon crossing the river. That Han Shan is the real local tiger. You haven't been there for a long time, so you may not have heard of him.
"This is the most famous Shan Ye in Sand City. He is the true cash king of Sand City after midnight and can withdraw 1 billion in cash at any time.
"This guy has a legendary underground gambling hall that is very famous. Only rich or powerful people can play there. His most important resource is the important connections in this underground gambling hall.
"Let me tell you something I know. A famous entrepreneur in a neighboring city borrowed 1.2 billion yuan from him. In the end, he paid back over 4 billion yuan, including principal and interest. Because of this debt, a very famous Qilong Street project in the neighboring city was completely halted and left unfinished."
"So exaggerated?"
Xiao Danchun asked doubtfully, "He's willing to pay back over 4 billion after borrowing over 1 billion?"
"What if I don't return it? Han Shan was directly locked up there privately by him."
Gao Hu said, "Han Shan is beyond your imagination. He imprisoned this entrepreneur from a neighboring city for six months. Reporting him several times later was useless. Instead, he was met with even more severe retaliation. Almost no one in Sand City dares to mess with him. They all know that he's a man you can't afford to offend. After all, he has so many people who owe him gambling debts, and they're all kinds of people."
"Is Brother Chen in danger?" Xiao Danchun asked nervously.
"Then you're overthinking it."
Gao Hu snorted coldly, "Han Shan is, at best, a local tyrant. Old Chen has invested so much money nationwide over the years, and new energy vehicles are the largest investment in the country. If anything were to happen to him, the entire Sand City would be investigated thoroughly, and everyone would be implicated. The investigation team in Beijing would directly intervene in the highest form. No one dares to take such a risk. Even if Han Shan wanted to do so, no one would allow him to do so."
"So what is the current situation?"
"What else could it be? Old Chen himself is not satisfied with the outcome."
Before Gao Hu came to Beijing, he had been running a hot pot restaurant in Shacheng, so he knew the situation there best.
"You've all heard the saying, 'It's easier to meet the King of Hell than to deal with the little devils.' Even if Old Chen has a strong foundation, his family isn't in Sand City. He has a complex network of connections everywhere. He's a tycoon trying to take over a private hospital worth tens of billions of yuan. Others will definitely not let him, and he won't get what he wants. In the end, it all depends on who backs down first."
“It’s not that complicated!”
Song Yanxi is still domineering even with her bulging belly, and she also trusts her man very much.
"I understand the whole story. I won't go into the details of why it happened. My grandparents didn't even mention my husband's name before they were hospitalized. They just thought they had a cold, so they checked themselves into a regular ward to save money. As a result, they were treated like pigs. There's no way my husband would care about over a million dollars.
"The key is that grandma is dying. Zhang Shilin has said in the past that she won't live more than a month. No amount of treatment will help. Her body is completely hollowed out. An old woman in her eighties has been forced to undergo several completely unnecessary surgeries.
"You think my husband wouldn't realize that his actions would definitely make people in Shacheng unhappy and the capital market uneasy.
"To put it bluntly, he no longer cares. None of this matters in the face of human life. The most important thing is that he wants justice.
"Why do disasters always pick on the unfortunate? If grandpa and grandma had told me his name before they were hospitalized, even if Han Shan had ten times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to operate on grandma."
If it weren't for her pregnancy, Song Yanxi would have rushed to Sand City long ago.
Why are we discussing so much here?
How could she not know what her husband was thinking now? To put it bluntly, he wanted to seek final justice for his grandmother before she died.
He only pulled out Liu Xiangfeng as a chess piece to block the attack and take responsibility for everything.
It's impossible.
Now, everyone is in turmoil.
The people on Han Shan's side were probably also wondering how that useless guy Liu Xiangfeng could have bumped into such a powerful dragon.
Even they themselves probably want to push him out and kill him eight hundred times.
As for Sand City, they are definitely not satisfied with Chen Pingsheng's approach.
If everyone acted like him, the city would have been in chaos long ago.
But now there are thousands of people holding signs there, suing a private hospital.
Those who are related are trembling.
It doesn't matter, they're all just cursing.
Things must be settled as soon as possible, the key is who can settle it?
The provincial government has taken Chen Pingsheng's case seriously and has repeatedly ordered a thorough investigation.
After all, it was really too much.
It’s no wonder that they made such a fuss. They even cost themselves a life.
The key is that it stayed there for more than ten years.
It's easy for things to calm down, but who knows how many victims it has.
If you show up now to calm things down, a huge loophole will be discovered later.
You take on this responsibility!
Just freeze here.
As for the local media, they all knew that something big had happened and they were staring at each other in amazement.
Why don’t you report it?
You go...
I have a stomach ache.
My wife is pregnant.
My mother got married.
There are so many reasons, no one dares to act as an unsung hero at this time.
Life is not easy for anyone, and being a good person is a problem of the century.
The local citizens were also very surprised. Logically speaking, with such a big event, the urban life channel that focuses on people's livelihood news the most would not be unaware of it.
It's like it's invisible.
When the situation is unclear, they just broadcast some trivial news.
As for newspapers and the media, it is even more outrageous.
Not a word.
As I said, the water is too deep.
In the struggle between the dragon from outside the river and the local tiger, whoever dares to get involved like a newbie will be punished later.
Breaking the silence often only requires a small, swaying compass.
Of course, there is a purpose for Chen Pingsheng to make such a big fuss.
He was waiting, waiting for the victim of this private hospital to appear.
He also waited for those who were persecuted by Han Shan to come to him.
Once these people appear, he is fully confident that he can change everyone's attitude.
Cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil is not just a simple slogan.
It's really thundering in action.
Do those big guys who have been whitewashed really think that no one will bother them again?
Chen Pingsheng just doesn't believe it and he wants to take practical action.
To send his grandmother off for the last time and let the old lady rest in peace.
Bad people are only a minority, and most people are still trying hard to live.
But it’s really hard to be a good person.
