Chapter 230: The Painting in the Bulletin Board
Faced with this situation, the thugs were short of manpower if they wanted to repeat their old tricks. In addition, the third taxi driver was a clever one. Seeing that the situation was not right, he closed the window and locked the door first, and then backed up to the alley entrance swiftly. However, that direction was soon blocked by taxis that came after hearing the news. One, two, three...
Taxi driver is a profession that seems ordinary but is actually very special. Except for airports and railway stations, if six or seven taxis suddenly gather in any place, it must be that something strange has happened at the scene. Taxi drivers all have such a nose for it, and with the spread of Zhao Weiming, the news from a large group of hundreds of people intersected with each other, and taxi drivers in half of the city shared the address in an instant. Drivers nearby and those not nearby, all those who didn't get any work rushed to watch the murder. So in just three or four minutes, the back street of the nightclub went from being deserted to a taxi square, and the two alleys were crowded with people and cars.
The sturdy man never expected that things would develop to this point. In a moment of distraction, Li Erhu rushed over to hit him in the waist, then hugged the sturdy man and threw him against the windshield of a car on the street, leaving fine cracks on the glass.
At this time, a group of drivers who came to watch the fun pointed in this direction and said, "Isn't that Zhao Weiming?"
Zhao Weiming had almost been carried into the nightclub. Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, he suddenly pointed at the waiter and said, "That guy has enough drugs to be shot ten times!"
After this shout, everyone's eyes were focused on one point. Even the other thugs stopped what they were doing. No matter if they knew it or not, it would be a big event once this layer of window paper was broken. They looked at each other and scattered like birds and beasts.
The waiter was shocked, and the thing in his hand seemed to be burning. He no longer cared about anything else and threw the drug package into the roadside sewer. Fortunately, the package was strong and it got stuck in the middle of the sewer railing. The onlookers exclaimed: "It's really that thing! Call the police!"
Zhao Weiming broke free from the shoulders of several thugs and grabbed the waiter from behind. At this time, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit. The waiter used all his strength to kick Zhao Weiming away, then jumped high to step on the plastic bag stuck on the railing.
Li Erhu rushed back like a tiger in an instant and knocked the waiter away at the critical moment, but he didn't expect that the strong man behind him came over with a short stick and hit Li Erhu on the back of the head with the short stick. Li Erhu knelt on the ground suddenly, and before his eyes became blurred, he did not forget to hit the strong man in the cheek with his elbow.
Zhao Weiming was really furious at this time, and he yelled, "Fuck it, is there anyone who wants to take the blame with me, Zhao Weiming?"
There were already dozens of people gathered in the alley, almost all of them were taxi drivers from Zhiyuan Company. They all understood what was going on - the former young master was risking his life against two desperate criminals. Although they were afraid, many people still joined in cheering and shouting.
The sturdy man and the waiter knew that the situation was hopeless, so they ran to opposite ends of the alley. The people in front failed to stop them, and the people behind them didn't know what was going on, but they let the two men run onto the street through the crowded alley.
Zhao Weiming said anxiously, "Chase them!" Seeing that no one moved, he stamped his feet and said, "Get in the car and chase them!"
The masters suddenly realized what was going on and got into their cars, chasing the two men onto the road.
Zhao Weiming hugged Li Erhu and shouted, "Brother, brother, how are you?" As he spoke, he felt his hands were wet, and he saw blood on his sleeves.
Li Erhu looked confused, and Zhao Weiming called out again, "What's the name of your friend on Changsheng Street?"
"Li...Li Changgui..." After saying this, Li Erhu fainted.
With the help of several taxi drivers at the scene, Zhao Weiming placed Li Erhu in the car. He then carefully placed the package from the sewer on the passenger seat and drove straight to the hospital.
…
In the evening, Zhang Nianzu and his team rushed to the hospital because he received a random call from Zhao Weiming, saying that Li Changgui's friend was beaten and hospitalized. How did Li Changgui's friend know Zhao Weiming? Besides, how could Li Changgui have any friends in the local area?
As they walked into the inpatient building, Ah San had a bad feeling and asked, "Could it be Li Erhu?"
Li Changgui was stunned for a moment and said, "Who would provoke him for no reason? No, he wouldn't provoke anyone even if there was nothing wrong."
There were several police cars parked at the entrance of the building. As soon as the three people entered the hall, they saw Zhao Weiming and Xiaoqin, and next to them was Ah Si, who looked confused.
When Xiaoqin saw Zhang Nianzu, she strode over and asked, "Li Erhu is your friend?"
Li Changgui hurriedly said, "He is my distant relative. What happened to him?"
Ah San couldn't wait to grab Ah Si and asked, "Is it really Li Erhu?"
Ah Si said dejectedly, "Li Erhu has really been beaten into Li Erhu this time." This hospital was the same one where Zhang Nianzu and his friends had stayed last time. Ah Si was held down by Xiaoqin and received intravenous drips for several days. So he was able to know Li Erhu's condition first.
Xiaoqin looked at Zhao Weiming and said, "Do you want to explain the situation first or should I?"
Zhao Weiming's emotions had not yet completely calmed down. After learning that Li Erhu and Li Changgui had this kind of relationship, he felt very complicated for a long time. Then he told Li Erhu how he accidentally discovered something was wrong today, how he ran into someone trafficking drugs, and how Li Erhu bravely helped him to hold down the drug dealer.
Xiaoqin was holding an evidence bag containing the drugs seized by Zhao Weiming. She said to Zhang Nianzu, "Your friend is a hero!"
Ah Si curled his lips and said, "We have known each other for such a long time and I have never seen you say this to me."
Zhang Nianzu asked worriedly, "How is my friend? Can we see him?"
At this time, the doctor appeared. He had just looked at Li Erhu's brain CT scan and explained the situation: "The bones are fine, but there is congestion in the brain. There may be temporary amnesia."
Ah San asked, "Is it uncertain?"
The doctor said, "The mortality rate of being hit in this area by a blunt instrument in a fight is very high, but your friend is lucky - he is no longer in danger of death."
Everyone was stunned by this sentence at first, and only breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the second half of the sentence.
Ah Si was in a joking mood and said, "This kid isn't lucky, he's just been beaten up by us brothers since he was a kid."
Zhang Nianzu asked Xiaoqin: "Where are the two drug dealers?"
Xiaoqin glanced at Zhao Weiming and said with a smile, "The guy who worked as a waiter in the nightclub has been arrested. You don't know, there was a big scene in our city this afternoon. Dozens of taxis followed a man and when our police arrived, the man had already run away. This is the first time that a drug dealer has been arrested in this way." At this point, Xiaoqin said to Zhao Weiming, "You and your friends are great. I thank you on behalf of the police."
Zhang Nianzu was surprised and said, "You kid actually have times when you do more than just talk."
Zhao Weiming chuckled and said, "I started to pay attention to it because I saw the car from Changfeng Company. Isn't this a case of narrow-minded family thinking accidentally developing into a great cause for the country and the people?"
Li Changgui asked coldly: "Where is the man who beat Li Erhu? Has he been caught?"
Zhao Weiming said: "That one ran away. He used a short stick and was very good at fighting. If he wasn't your friend, I would have been ruined."
Xiaoqin said, "The whole city has issued a wanted notice. The man was identified as Hu Hao, nicknamed 'Hu Ritian'. The waiter left everything behind after he was arrested. Although he doesn't know much, he can feel that someone is going to make a big move. Anyway, we have things to do again."
Zhang Nianzu and the others looked at each other. They didn't expect that Li Erhu would be harmed by the detours...
At this time, the doctor came out of the ward and said, "Li Erhu has woken up. He said he wanted to see his friends."
Li Changgui walked in without saying anything. The doctor reminded him, "Try to keep him from talking too much for a while. It's normal for patients to talk nonsense."
Li Erhu was lying on the hospital bed with his head wrapped in bandages. His eyes were dazed, but when he saw Li Changgui, he still weakly called him "Third Uncle".
Ah San and Ah Si celebrated: "You still know people, you're not stupid!"
Li Erhu looked at the steel rod that Ah Si was leaning on and said weakly, "Why did you add something else?"
Ah Si raised his hand and said at last: "Forget it, I won't beat you today."
Finally, Li Erhu found Zhang Nianzu. His eyes lit up and he said, "You must be Grandpa Zu, right? Can I call you Grandpa Zu?"
Ah San said: "Of course not. Although your last name is Li, you are not from our clan."
Ah Si pushed him from behind: "Don't provoke ."
Zhang Nianzu said, "Just call me Brother Nianzu." He looked at the young man on the bed. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and was quite handsome. He was obviously a few years older than Asan and Asan, but because of his simple and honest air, he seemed no different from the two brothers.
Li Changgui stood in front of Li Erhu with his hands behind his back and said, "I asked you to send us the family tree, why did you come here by yourself?"
Li Erhu grinned and said, "It's our own business. I'm going to see if I can help."
Ah San said, "Uncle San has already thought of this, but you didn't help at all. As soon as you arrived, you were beaten up like Li Erhu."
Li Erhu said hesitantly: "Uncle San, am I not ashamed now?"
Li Changgui said: "The person is definitely missing, but we know the person who beat you."
Li Erhu was stunned, and immediately said: "Then why don't you arrest him? He is a bad guy!"
Ah San said: "It has nothing to do with us. We are too busy with our own affairs."
Li Erhu said anxiously, "What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? Do you know how many people a package of stuff like that can harm? Don't you guys ever look at the pictures on the propaganda column?" He turned his head and said to Zhang Nianzu, "Brother Nianzu, this is your fault!"
Ah San said angrily: "How dare you bite people randomly?"
Ah Si whispered, "Didn't the doctor say that he was talking nonsense?"
Li Erhu was so excited that he sat up half straight and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Since you know him, it's not difficult to catch him with your ability. Why don't you just turn a blind eye to it? Don't you ever look at the pictures in the propaganda column?"
Zhang Nianzu hurriedly said, "Don't move."
Li Erhu stared and said, "Brother Nianzu, this is really your fault. You are their ancestor. Before I met you, I always imagined how heroic you were. Don't you think it's a pity if you lead your clan to live in the world like this?"
Zhang Nianzu was also confused by what he said, "Maybe I did something wrong?"
After waiting for a long time, Li Erhu covered his head and stopped talking. Zhang Nianzu asked cautiously: "Erhu, what's wrong with you?"
Li Erhu put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and said weakly: "Dizzy!"
Li Changgui said: "Take a rest, we will come to see you tomorrow."
Li Erhu was surprised and said, "Third Uncle!"
"What's the matter?"
"I have some bacon in my bag for you, remember to eat it." After saying this, Li Erhu slipped down and lay motionless, not knowing whether he was asleep or unconscious again.
After several people left the ward , Li Changgui kept shaking his head and said, "He's still as fierce as ever."
Zhang Nianzu couldn't help but ask, "This brother should be working, what's his job?"
Li Changgui said: "The county cultural center teaches old men and old ladies to dance."
Zhang Nianzu nodded and said, "No wonder he always looks at the bulletin board."
