Chapter 147: Local Snake
Zhang Nianzu didn't know that the person they were looking for was on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, the topic returned to Du Heng.
Recalling the big guy, Zhang Nianzu was still frightened. Through Lao Jiang, he had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the strongman warriors, but the big guy was obviously one level higher than Lao Jiang.
No matter how powerful the opponent is, the Golden Guards are never afraid of visible enemies. What bothers everyone the most is the invisible man, and through analysis they come to a conclusion - the invisible man may have been secretly following behind that day and preparing to find an opportunity to attack Zhang Nianzu, but later he accidentally met Jia Ba, and the invisible man rescued him in order to borrow his power.
Unknowingly, the two sides have reached the point where they are evenly matched, but what is disadvantageous to Zhang Nianzu and his men is that they are in the light while the other side is in the dark. All their guesses were denied by Xu Yingdong, and they don't even know why the other side wants to deal with Grandpa Zu.
Ah San said depressedly: "We have never suffered any loss in a fight, but this feeling of not being able to find anyone to fight with is really frustrating."
Ah Si said: "Think about it, where is our advantage?"
Ah San asked, "What do you mean?"
Ah Si said, "They ran away when we approached them, which means they don't have the confidence to fight. So it is urgent to find them now. Who knows what tricks they will play if we wait too long?"
Li Changgui suddenly said: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake - Nianzu, we are the local snake."
"Ah?" Zhang Nianzu opened his mouth inexplicably. The word "local tyrant" doesn't describe anything good. It's usually used as a foil to "strong dragon". And he felt a little forced to be a local tyrant. Zhao Weiming could testify to this. Although Zhang Nianzu was not bullied, he never bullied others by taking advantage of his power. Of course, he didn't have any power to take advantage of before...
Li Changgui said, "Du came all the way from America and is unfamiliar with the place. This is our advantage. Ah Si is right. Isn't he hiding from us? Then let's dig him out!"
Zhang Nianzu touched his head and thought for a long time before saying, "The person who looks most like a local tyrant that I know is Lao Jiang."
Ah Si said: "We can indeed ask Lao Jiang for help."
Zhang Nianzu smiled bitterly and said, "We have to find him first." Since the last game, Lao Jiang's phone has been unanswered. When he went to the bar to find him, only a temporary manager replaced him. Zhang Nianzu really suspected that he was killed by Ono Taro in a rage.
At this time, Ah San pointed and said, "Speak of the devil and he will appear!"
A short and fat man appeared at the corner of the street, walking slowly towards us with a smile on his face. It was Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhang Nianzu stood up and asked in astonishment: "You are not dead?"
Lao Jiang smiled and said, "Are you getting cocky or do you think I can't hold the knife anymore? Is there anyone who talks to the 'Thirteen Spices Tiger' like that?"
Ah Si hesitantly said, "Where have you been all this time? I thought I turned you into a vegetable with that punch." He felt guilty towards Chiang Kai-shek. Although it was an unintentional mistake, they had agreed to let Chiang Kai-shek win, but they messed it up by accident. Not only did they lose money, but Ono Taro had to get Xu Xiaofeng's indenture contract back from Honda Company. If this matter failed, they would be too sorry to Chiang Kai-shek.
Lao Jiang also knew that everyone was actually concerned about him, so he patted Ah Si on the shoulder and said, "Don't take it personally. It's not your fault for what happened on the ring that day. I lost on purpose."
Everyone asked in unison: "Why?"
Lao Jiang said: "Of course it was Ono Taro who asked me to do this. Before we played the last game, he asked the Japanese coach who was accompanying me to tell me to lose the game."
Lei Tingting said: "Then he lost a lot of money, didn't he?"
Lao Jiang glanced at her and said, "Ono Taro doesn't care about money at all, and he can just bet on Ah Si to win from the outside, and he won't lose much."
Zhang Nianzu said, "Ono Taro came from Japan, placed a bet on you, and then secretly bet on your opponent to win. He went through so much trouble and got nothing in return, just to stir up the bubble in China's underground gambling industry?"
Lao Jiang said: "None of you can guess the real purpose of Ono Taro's coming to China this time. He came for Thirteen Spices. His purpose is to make him a leader worthy of his title and completely control Thirteen Spices."
Zhang Nianzu asked doubtfully, "Please explain it clearly."
Lao Jiang said, "You all saw what happened that day. Most of the old men in Thirteen Spices bet on me to win. If I lost, their money would be gone. Ono Taro agreed to pay for them, which was equivalent to saving their lives. Ono Taro held a banquet that night. He was the nominal leader of Thirteen Spices. After drinking and cheering, the old men all expressed their loyalty to him."
Zhang Nianzu sighed : "Using money to pave the way is not a smart trick, but it is effective." He asked, "Why do the devils want to buy people's hearts?"
Lao Jiang suddenly bowed to Lei Tingting and said , "Tingting, I'm going to do something that's wrong to you. As your brother, I'm going to apologize to you first."
Lei Tingting asked in surprise: "What can you do to let me down?"
Lao Jiang said: "After Ono Taro took control of the situation, he immediately announced that he was going to do something big, which was to completely overthrow the Black Panther Gang."
Li Changgui and the others suddenly realized: "So..."
Lao Jiang nodded and said, "The Black Panther Gang has been attacked by a large number of people in the past few days. The mastermind behind this is Shisanxiang, or Ono Taro."
Lei Tingting looked at Lao Jiang in a daze. Lao Jiang said, "Ono Taro suddenly brought up this matter at the banquet that day. People began to think that he was drunk, but he seemed to have arranged a way out long ago. Some idle gangs in society had received benefits from him at some point and were waiting for his orders. It was also Lei Xiaohu's fault that he was too independent in his work. He ate meat and even refused to give soup to others . There were indeed many people who wanted to bring him down. Shisanxiang had been suppressed by the Black Panther Gang for many years. With a big sponsor coming forward, those old guys agreed reluctantly, and it was done overnight." He said to Lei Tingting, "Ono Taro wanted me to participate, but I refused. After all, your father and I have no grudges. We have long since settled our affairs. But please understand that it is impossible for me to inform you."
Lei Tingting paused and said, "I don't blame you for this. I don't care about the affairs of the martial arts world. My father chose the path himself. He should have expected this day to come. But did you find that Jia Ba?"
Lao Jiang said: "I don't know about that."
Zhang Nianzu said: "It seems that all this was set up long ago. Ono Taro first seized power and then incited all the anti-Lei factions to act together. What did he get in the end? Is it because the Japanese economy is in decline that their associations want to divert conflicts and use force to expand militarism?"
Lao Jiang said, "I don't know about that. After all, I started working at Thirteen Spices just to make a living. Now I do everything for one purpose, which is to help Xiao Feng get her indenture back. Then we will retire from the underworld and spend the rest of my life in peace and quiet."
Zhang Nianzu said: "Don't set the flag yet. Did the devil clearly agree to you?"
Lao Jiang said: "Ono Taro said he would help me get it."
Zhang Nianzu put his hand on Lao Jiang's shoulder and said, "Since it's all for Sister Xiao Feng, then we understand and hope that you can achieve your wish as soon as possible. As for the matter of Shisanxiang and the Black Panther Gang, Changgui, what do you think?"
Li Changgui said, "What am I watching? We'll kill whoever you say to kill. If you say we don't want to kill him, then we won't kill him. After all, what does a seafood fight have to do with Eagle?"
