Chapter 260 A Blessing in Disguise
Chen Tang held his forehead and refused with a pale face: "No, Lao Chen, you forgot, Mom said let us finish our meal today."
Quan Wang slapped his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot. Today is Mom's birthday. I didn't ask for leave because of you."
He walked out with big strides, and Li Ergou couldn't stop him.
Chen Tang stumbled a bit when he pulled her, and tried very hard to keep up with him.
"Brother Li, please don't send me off. I have a bicycle and I will definitely be able to get back before it rains."
Li Ergou's eyes turned cold: "I think you should stay in the village for one night."
He winked at Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu stepped forward to stop him but was pushed away by the tall and strong Jin Wang.
Half of his body was buried in the ground, and he almost couldn't stand when he was pushed by such a big man.
"Hey, Lin Shu, Brother Li, I know you are enthusiastic, but you don't have to send me off."
Li Ergou watched Quanwang leave, smoked a cigarette, walked out of the yard, called a few young guys, gave them some instructions, and took out a few big unity notes from his pocket and gave them to them.
A few young men took the big unity, smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on their faces, picked up knives and took a small path to chase after him.
After leaving the village, Chen Tang looked around and warned Quan Wang: "Be careful, they might take a shortcut."
She didn't understand why Li Ergou didn't take action in the village, but if he left the village, the other party might not care so much, and it was possible that he would directly take Quan Wang's life.
The chain under Quan Wangdeng's feet flew up: "Don't worry, Miss, Wu San is waiting for us in front."
Not long after they walked, they saw Wu San and two men waiting for them in front.
The few people who took a shortcut to catch up were also fools. No matter how many people there were, they just rushed over to catch Chen Tang.
Then he was taught a lesson by Wu San.
Those few hooligans were only young and brave, but they were no match for the big guy Wu San.
Li Ergou didn't take action in the village because he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. If he was asked about it by Brother Hu, he would be punished.
I didn't expect that when we got outside the village, they actually had support.
When Li Ergou arrived at the scene, he saw several guys being beaten to the ground, and he immediately felt something was wrong: "Stop beating them, stop beating them, they are all family members."
"Brother Ergou, he..." A young man lying on the ground was about to say something, but was kicked by Li Ergou. He seemed to remember something and immediately shut his mouth.
Li Ergou stepped forward and said, "Brother Chen, this is all a misunderstanding. These guys are the second-rate guys in our village. They usually do some sneaky things. I didn't expect them to rob you. When I get back, I will definitely tell their parents. Please let it go for my sake."
He handed him a cigarette and looked at the three big men: "What is this?"
Wu San was suddenly slapped on the head by two big men behind him. He cried quickly, "Brother, they are asking you for a debt. If I don't tell them where you are, they will beat me. I can't do anything about it."
Quan Wang glared at him and said to the other two big men, "Well, I will definitely pay you back. I will go back today and ask my parents for it. Don't worry, I still have a job and I will definitely pay you back."
Li Ergou was still a little suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence that just when he was about to take action against Quan Wang, two debt collectors suddenly appeared?
Quan Wang glanced at Li Ergou and pulled him aside: "Hey, Brother Li, can you lend me some money?"
Li Ergou continued to smoke: "Oh, how come you owe someone money?"
Quan Wang said, "Hey, it's my friends who asked me to make money. I didn't expect it was gambling. I lost all my money. But don't worry, I was just unlucky this time. I will definitely win it back next time. Brother Li, I see that you smoke good cigarettes. You must have a lot of money. How about you lend me some?"
Li Ergou was moved when he saw that his fanatical and flattering look did not seem fake.
Gambling and drugs are common in border towns like theirs, and eight out of ten villages gamble privately.
The two towns were small and poor, so the Little Red Guards were unwilling to come. Even if someone from above came to inspect, someone would tip them off.
He glanced at Chen Tang and said, "That won't work. What if you can't pay it back? Unless you pledge something with me."
Quan Wang: "Bicycle?"
He hesitated and said, "That won't work. My mother bought the bicycle. If she knew I had pawned it, wouldn't she break my legs?"
Seeing that he was reluctant to part with the car, Li Ergou let down his guard. If he had seen through his intention, he would have wanted to mortgage the car to him.
The two big men urged them again, and Quanwang hurried over to say something nice and asked them to wait a little longer.
Li Ergou smiled and said, "I can lend you money, but I don't want the car. If you keep losing, you can come to me to borrow money, but you'll have to mortgage something."
He took out a big unity and gave it to Quanwang. Quanwang's face was full of greed, and he patted his chest and agreed: "Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely make back my investment this time, and then I will pay you back with interest."
After saying that, Quan Wang threw the money to the two men, put his arm around Chen Tang's shoulders and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a few dollars? With my brother Li here, how can I not pay it back?"
He sneered and rode away with Shen Tang.
Master Wu San hurriedly followed.
The other two big men picked up the money, held cigarettes in their mouths and said with a smile: "Let's come back next time."
When Li Ergou saw this scene, he left in a happy mood.
He was waiting for Quanwang to lose money and come to him for it.
By then, he could easily get Quan Wang to keep Chen Tang without any effort.
Brother Hu came back that night.
No outsiders were allowed to enter the village that day.
He also called Ergou over to ask about the situation.
After all, many people saw Li Ergou brought into the village.
Li Ergou had already found an excuse and said that Chen Tang and Quan Wang were the members they had just attracted.
Brother Hu glanced at him and said, "After we finish this job, we will stop. We will leave by boat. You should be careful not to let everyone know."
Li Ergou nodded repeatedly: "I know Brother Tiger."
When Chen Tang got home, he quickly told Lu Yanzhou the news.
She was extremely excited as she finally found He Xu.
Knowing that he was okay, she relaxed completely.
Seeing her happy expression, Lu Yanzhou couldn't help but smile: "It's a blessing in disguise. He Xu's contribution to clearing out a drug den is undeniable."
Chen Tang shook his head: "I just want to see him as soon as possible, and go back after confirming that he is okay."
Counting on it, she has been here for almost half a month, and she doesn’t know how the little one at home is crying.
