Chapter 250 The Stubborn One
Song Yuanchao didn't want to eat barbecue, so Luo Yang poured him a glass of beer and lit a cigarette for him.
After smoking a cigarette and drinking a sip of beer, Song Yuanchao suddenly asked Luo Yang: "Lao Luo, have you heard of a man called Lao Xiong?"
"Old Xiong?" Luo Yang frowned and asked, "Is his surname Xiong or his name containing the word Xiong? What does he look like? How old is he?"
Song Yuanchao immediately described the age and appearance of the old bear he had seen before. Luo Yang thought about it carefully, and after a long while he slapped his thigh and said, "I remember who this guy is!"
"Who is this person?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, I know this guy called Lao Xiong. His name is Zeng Hua, and Lao Xiong is his nickname. This guy was a famous troublemaker in the old city. But I remember that this guy went to jail a few years ago. What? Is he out now?"
"Went in? Why did he go in?" Song Yuanchao asked after a moment of surprise.
"What can a gangster do after he goes in? Isn't it just those things about striving for supremacy?" Luo Yang said with some disdain.
"How much do you know about this old bear? How famous is he in the underworld?" Song Yuanchao asked again.
"This kid is several years older than us, and he was also a big shot in Sijiu City back then. By the way, have you heard of a gangster called Little Bastard in Sijiu City?" When it came to these things, Luo Yang knew them like the back of his hand, and couldn't help showing off in front of Song Yuanchao.
"Little bastard? Is there anyone who calls him that?" Li Xiaoyun couldn't help but ask. There were many people who called him Agou and Amao, but this was the first time she heard someone call him a little bastard.
On the contrary, Song Yuanchao frowned. It was normal that Li Xiaoyun had never heard of the name "little bastard" because Li Xiaoyun was not from Yanjing. She grew up in Shanghai and came to Yanjing after being admitted to university.
But Song Yuanchao was different. In his previous life, Song Yuanchao had heard some interesting stories about Yanjing in those days, and the name of the little bastard was also well-known. Especially later, there was a novel by Du Liang that described this little bastard, and this novel was also made into a TV series. This period of history was once again dug up and discussed.
"Haha, although the name isn't very good, but this little bastard was very powerful back then. It can be said that there was no one in the entire city who was not afraid of him." Seeing that Li Xiaoyun was interested in the little bastard, Luo Yang immediately told her some stories about the little bastard's past.
Listening to Luo Yang's story, Li Xiaoyun's eyes slowly widened. She never thought that this guy called Little Bastard had actually done so many great things in the past, and even challenged the entire compound circle on his own. Although he died miserably in the end, he was indeed a figure anyway.
I don’t know if this girl Li Xiaoyun has a “violent tendency” in her bones or what, but as Luo Yang talked, she became more and more interested in the character of the little bastard, and even lamented that she came to Yanjing a few years late. If she could have come earlier, she could have seen this person with her own eyes.
After talking about the little bastard, Luo Yang went on to talk about Zeng Hua, also known as Lao Xiong.
Like the little bastard, Zeng Hua is also a troublemaker, and I heard that he is also the little bastard's friend, and the two had a very good relationship back then.
But compared to the little bastard who is not convinced by anyone and is ruthless and has angered everyone, Zeng Hua is much smarter than the little bastard . At least he knows the severity of his actions and understands which people are easy to mess with and which are not.
It is also for this reason that Zeng Hua was not implicated after the little bastard's death. However, those who are involved in gangsterism cannot escape the cycle of justice. The same goes for Zeng Hua. He was arrested for fighting and injuring people a few years ago. I heard that he was sentenced to several years in prison. If Song Yuanchao had not mentioned the nickname Lao Xiong today, Luo Yang would not have remembered Zeng Hua.
"What's the matter, Old Song? Did you offend Old Bear? But that shouldn't be the case. Although this guy is the same kind of person as the little bastard, he's not stupid. He only bullies ordinary people and rarely touches those with some background. Otherwise, he would have been dragged out and shot at long ago."
"Haha, I didn't offend anyone, but the same may not be true for you." Song Yuanchao took a puff of his cigarette and said this to Luo Yang meaningfully.
Luo Yang was stunned and looked at Song Yuanchao with some confusion.
"I just saw a few people by chance. Do you know who they are?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"Who is it?"
"Zhao Minglei, Lao Xiong, Zhang Liming and Wang Juan...!"
Song Yuanchao spelled out the names of these four people word by word. When Song Yuanchao finished speaking, Luo Yang was a little dazed for a moment, and his mind instantly became like a mess.
"Brother Yuanchao, I know Zhao Minglei among these people. Lao Xiong, you guys also mentioned it just now. Who are the other two people?" Li Xiaoyun couldn't help asking.
Song Yuanchao briefly introduced the origins of Zhang Liming and Wang Juan, and then told Luo Yang directly what he had overheard. When Luo Yang finished listening, his expression changed erratically in an instant, his face turned red with anger, and he slapped the table heavily.
"Asshole!" Luo Yang cursed in a low voice. Song Yuanchao had made his words so clear. With Luo Yang's intelligence, how could he not guess what was going on? He had never thought that these guys were behind all the trouble he had caused. Luo Yang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
Luo Yang didn't know how these guys colluded with each other, but this did not affect Luo Yang's judgment.
Among them, there is no need to mention Zhao Minglei. They are very familiar with Zhao Minglei. This guy has never been a good person. It was Zhao Minglei who instigated Luo Yang when he first met Song Yuanchao. At that time, the two almost fell out. Fortunately, Song Yuanchao and Luo Yang were both smart people, and they had similar personalities, so they quickly figured out the truth. In the end, instead of becoming enemies, they became friends.
Because of this, Luo Yang broke off contact with Zhao Minglei early on, and also asked Xiao Qiao to have less contact with Zhao Minglei. Although they were relatives, Luo Yang did not want to see his brother being used by a villain like Zhao Minglei, so he specifically warned Xiao Qiao for this.
But even so, Luo Yang couldn't let Xiao Qiao and Zhao Minglei completely cut off contact. After all, they were cousins.
Xiao Qiao has been with me for several years and is now working in Dashilan. The business in Dashilan is individually operated, and the name of Xiao Qiao and his friends was used on the individual license. This matter can be hidden from others but not from Xiao Qiao's family.
As a relative of Xiao Qiao's family, it would not be difficult for Zhao Minglei to figure out that the real boss behind Dashilan was Luo Yang if he was willing.
This is no longer the era of gangsters. Everything in society is about money. After being released, Lao Xiong also needs to make money to support his family. However, it is impossible for a labor reform inmate like him to be accepted by any unit, so there are very few things Lao Xiong can do.
Zhang Liming and Wang Juan, Luo Yang is also familiar with these two people. Let's not mention the woman Wang Juan. In Luo Yang's eyes, Wang Juan is just a bitch beside Zhang Liming. Relying on her looks, she has always wanted to seduce Zhang Liming. But for some reason, although Zhang Liming looks down on her, he still treats her as his own. Most of the time, where Zhang Liming is, there is Wang Juan.
Although Wang Juan is also from a wealthy family, her family background is just ordinary. Not to mention compared with Luo Yang, even compared with Zhao Minglei, she is barely worthy of being compared.
But Zhang Liming is different. Zhang Liming is very famous in the circle. Zhang Liming, who is several years older than Luo Yang and others, is already a full-fledged state cadre. In addition, with his family conditions, his career is smooth and he is favored by many people.
Zhang Liming is good at networking and speaking, and many people admire him. Even the leaders of the ministry where he works now are optimistic about Zhang Liming.
Such a person is not comparable to ordinary children from a big courtyard. In other words, Zhang Liming is a rising "political star" and a successor that the Zhang family has spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
It would be difficult for other people to gossip about Luo Yanhua behind his back and tell him about Luo Yang. But it would be different if Zhang Liming came forward. Zhang Liming, who worked in a ministry, could easily see Luo Yanhua. If he revealed some information about Luo Yang inadvertently during the conversation, based on Luo Yang's understanding of Luo Yanhua, Luo Yanhua would definitely investigate afterwards, leading to the current result.
Thinking in this way, everything was connected, and all the questions that had been puzzling Luo Yang had answers.
After thinking about these things, Luo Yang was so angry that he never expected that the truth would be like this.
"This is just a guess. Maybe I'm overthinking it." Seeing Luo Yang's face turning red and white, Song Yuanchao comforted him.
"Impossible! I believe in my judgment, it must be like this!" Luo Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I know them too well. They are doing this to kill someone with a borrowed knife. They want to drive me out of Dashilan through my father. Once I leave, they can take action. If I am not mistaken, Lao Xiong will take the lead, and Zhao Minglei and Wang Juan will deal with Bai Dao in the back. As for Zhang Liming, haha, this guy may be the culprit. Didn't you just say that Zhao Minglei said he wanted to report something to him? Granny Zhang, haha... What a big appetite!"
Li Xiaoyun on the side was also furious. After she learned the truth, she just felt sorry for Luo Yang's situation. After all, Luo Yang was doing well in Dazhalan, but now he had to give up this business because of family reasons.
But now it's different. After learning the whole story, Li Xiaoyun finally realized that this was not an accident at all. It was a complete conspiracy. The purpose of the conspiracy was to drive Luo Yang out of Dazhalan. After Luo Yang and Dazhalan's business were cut off, Zhao Minglei and his gang would take the opportunity to make a move.
The plan was already well planned, and the whole situation was set up from the beginning. Even if Luo Yang knew about it in advance, what would it matter? Unless he could convince Luo Yanhua, which was impossible.
Zhao Minglei is really a piece of shit. To be honest, part of the business in Dazhalan still belongs to Xiao Qiao. Zhao Minglei is Xiao Qiao's cousin after all. Relatives plotting against one's own family, cousins cheating on cousins, how could he do such a thing?
