Chapter 141 Pride
No matter how old a child is, he is still a child in the eyes of his parents.
When we are young, our parents always have some information that the children cannot or are not convenient to know. One day, the children grow up, the parents grow old, and the children become the ones who have the right to speak. This is called the change of an era.
Lei Xiaohu understood this law of nature, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. In his eyes, Lei Tingting was still that innocent little girl. How come he suddenly fell behind one day?
Zhang Nianzu saw that he could no longer hide the truth, so he spread his hands and said, "That person can indeed become invisible, but we don't know her details."
Lei Xiaohu suddenly felt a sense of vanity. Most people could not empathize with his world. Sometimes his experience in one day was beyond the imagination of ordinary people in their entire lives. He always regarded people outside this industry as flowers in a greenhouse. They did not know the cruelty of this world and thought that working from nine to five was all there was to life. It was not until today that he realized that he was nothing more than growing up in a bigger greenhouse. Outside the greenhouse, some people had super strong combat power and could drive him and his bodyguards to the edge of the wilderness alone. Some people could become invisible...
Lei Xiaohu rubbed his red face and found that he was not only out of date, but also a frog in a well. He finally couldn't help asking the question again: "Who are you?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Simply put, we are a fighting race."
Lei Xiaohu was surprised and asked, "You have Russian blood?"
Li Changgui snorted and said, "The Maos are nothing! Just because they are tall and strong but have no brains, they can be called a fighting race?"
Ah San said: "If you say so, Li Erhu can also be considered a fighting race."
Lei Tingting asked anxiously: "Dad, why is Jia Ba chasing you?"
Lei Xiaohu said angrily: "I don't know either!"
Lei Tingting asked cautiously: "Did you know him before?"
"I don't know him. If the police hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know his name."
Lei Tingting said happily: "That's good."
Lei Xiaohu was stunned.
Zhang Nianzu explained: "Jia Ba is a wanted drug dealer. Tingting had been worried that he was here to do business with you."
Lei Xiaohu was speechless. After being the outdated frog in the well, he had a new identity - a parent who was worried about by his children. However, he was a typical bad guy who got old, and there was no dispute about that. Lei Xiaohu clenched his fist and said, "I never touch drugs."
"Really?" Zhang Nianzu asked.
Lei Xiaohu said, "I run a nightclub and an underground casino. If something goes wrong, whoever takes the blame will be the one to take the blame. There is a set of mature procedures and detailed rules. These people will only go to jail for a few years at most. I will double their compensation after they are released, so they are all willing to do so. Drugs are punishable by death. After being caught, the only way for me to survive is to bite the boss. I don't want to test people's nature."
Hearing the words "process", "rules" and "human nature" coming out of the mouth of a gang leader, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lei Xiaohu said: "What do you mean? No matter what you do, you need technical skills!"
Zhang Nianzu concluded: "A drug lord came all the way from Yunnan just to hunt down a stranger?"
At this time, there was a faint knock on the door. As soon as Zhang Nianzu opened the door, Uncle Bao stumbled in. He covered his chest with both hands and kept coughing up blood. As soon as he came in, he threw himself in front of Lei Xiaohu and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hu, our place was swept away overnight."
Lei Xiaohu helped him sit on the sofa and asked, "Who did it?"
Uncle Bao took a breath and said, "They are all second- and third-rate gangs. I don't know who is behind this, but it seems like they all united overnight."
Lei Xiaohu stood with his hands behind his back facing the window. After a moment of silence, he sneered, "What a big move! They are trying to uproot our Black Panther Gang."
Ah San curled his lips. In this room, except for the two people named Lei and Uncle Bao, everyone had this ability, so he didn't think it was a big deal...
Uncle Bao said, "We will soon find out who the mastermind is. Brother Hu...what should we do next?" He sat there hunched over, and his ribs must have been broken. However, he had been analyzing the enemy and our own situation since he entered the door. Zhang Nianzu kept shaking his head as he watched. He really could not understand the style of these gangsters.
Lei Xiaohu suddenly said, "Zhang Nianzu, come out with me."
The two men came to the balcony, and Zhang Nianzu said, "Mr. Hu... Lei, do you have something to say?" He really didn't know how to address the boss in front of him. No matter from which angle, calling him brother or grandpa was inappropriate, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Lei Xiaohu took out a cigar and put it between his lips and lit it, then slowly said, "I want to invite you to join the Black Panther Gang for the second time." Seeing Zhang Nianzu was about to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Listen to me first - I'm not worried about losing the place. The society's territory is like a bargaining chip. It's in your hands today and it may be in his hands tomorrow. No one can guarantee that the territory will not be lost forever. Why didn't anyone dare to attack me, Lei Xiaohu, before? That's because they knew that I would counterattack and become more aggressive. This time, someone is determined to kill me. I admit that if you hadn't arrived in time, I would be dead now, and they rely on Jia Ba. If I wasn't busy escaping tonight but was directing the situation, the Black Panther Gang would not have been defeated so quickly."
Zhang Nianzu asked: "So , what do you want to say?"
Lei Xiaohu held a cigar between his legs and said, "Go and help me deal with Jia Ba. Afterwards, Tingting and half of my property will be yours." He offered a huge bribe without any nonsense. What man doesn't want beauty and money? He did this not so much because he wanted to win as because he was shocked. Lei Xiaohu's face was pale and red at this moment. The red was from drinking, and the white was from the lingering fear. Especially the battle between Ah San and Ah Si on the beach made Lei Xiaohu understand a truth - if he wanted to take the initiative in this war, Zhang Nianzu was his only hope.
Zhang Nianzu said helplessly: "I don't want to talk about the big principles. Tingting is free and not your bargaining chip. Besides... please don't be offended by my straightforwardness. If I remember correctly, I snatched her from you--"
Lei Xiaohu was surprised and said, "You don't like money either? Do you want Tingting to live in a house like this with you forever?"
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "Of course I like money, but I just don't like being ordered around for money."
Lei Xiaohu said disdainfully: "Don't think I don't know that you guys are playing for Shi Jingtang!"
Zhang Nianzu said, "That's called earning one's own living. Besides, we didn't hurt anyone for money." Long Taiquan Saburo's voice and smile suddenly floated into his mind for no reason. Zhang Nianzu said with a guilty conscience, "Anyway, I have only one principle: I have to be willing to do it. Please remember, if I want to deal with Jia Ba one day, it's just because I want to deal with him, and it has nothing to do with others."
Lei Xiaohu was stunned and asked, "Why are you so proud? Is it natural or do you think you are awesome?"
Zhang Nianzu said lightly: "All of them."
