Chapter 27: The King of Fakes
As Jiutong was talking, Zhao Weiming, who had not yet come to his senses, was still calculating. The more he calculated, the more confused he looked.
Zhang Nianzu laughed and said, "Forget it. Even if I cut you into pieces, you are not worth 500,000 yuan." He suddenly asked Jiutong, "Why are fingers more expensive than toes?"
Jiutong said, "You can't save shoes without toes, and you can't nourish kidneys without fingers, but you may not be willing to do so. Experience it yourself." He glanced at Zhang Nianzu and said, "I heard that you are the boss of this street."
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "Not really, I just have a pretty good relationship with people."
The sturdy men who came with Jiutong were now staring cautiously at the scarred enamel pot , fearing that they would be trapped in a jar.
Jiutong looked at Zhao Weiming and said, "I, Jiutong, am a reasonable person. I am not here to fight today, otherwise I would not have brought so few people with me. But if you push me too far, you have to think about the consequences. Even if your friends are willing to help you, will you feel comfortable with it?"
Old Wu whispered to Zhao Weiming, "Do you want me to call the police for you?"
Zhao Weiming shook his head and begged, "One month, please give me another month."
Jiu Tong said categorically: "Impossible, you think I don't care about this money because it's easy to make, right? Let me ask you, do you lose every time you go to my place? No way. I always serve you with good cigarettes and good wine, and it doesn't cost me anything to find a venue or hire a dealer, right?" Jiu Tong pointed at Zhao Weiming with his shocking left hand and said, "You must give me an explanation today. If you want to fight, then let's fight to the death!"
Zhao Weiming mustered up his courage and said, "Since I've let you block it, I won't implicate my friends. I don't have any money, so you decide what to do." He said this because he knew Zhang Nianzu too well. It's not that he, Zhao Weiming, has become righteous, but he knows that Zhang Nianzu will never implicate the people on the street for him. Normally, if there were hooligans on the street making trouble, it would be okay for Zhang Nianzu to lead the way and scare them, but since the other party came with the intention of fighting to the death, Zhang Nianzu would never let Changsheng Street become a battlefield.
Jiutong shouted, "Okay! Then leave me one hand, and I'll go get the money from your dad."
Zhao Weiming said with a sad face: "Is there a second plan?"
Jiutong said no more, pulled out a small knife from his waist and chopped the table.
At this time, Zhang Nianzu pointed at Zhao Weiming and said, "Although I am annoyed by this guy, he is my friend after all. I can't let you really cut off his hand. So, you come up with a compromise. I will never bargain."
Jiu Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you everywhere? Who are you?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "It doesn't matter who I am. This repair shop is mine. Let me guarantee it for him. If he doesn't pay back the money in a month, you can take the shop."
Old Wu showed a worried look, and Zhao Weiming shouted, "Zhang Nianzu, are you crazy?" He knew that this auto repair shop was almost everything to Zhang Nianzu.
Zhang Nianzu said: "Your problem will have to be resolved sooner or later. Brother Jiutong is right. Gambling debts are also debts."
Jiu Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your name is Zhang Nianzu?"
"Yes, it's me."
"You were the one who was fighting outside Dick's bar, weren't you?"
Zhang Nianzu said helplessly: "It's me."
Jiutong looked at him with interest and said, "I heard that you have been doing well recently."
Zhao Weiming had also known about Lei Tingting's affairs in bits and pieces during this period. Seeing that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, he hurriedly said, "Brother Jiutong, let's have a discussion."
Jiutong immediately waved his hands and said, "No room for negotiation! There are many people who are doing well, but there is no father and son in the casino. If the king loses money, I will chase him to the ends of the earth!"
Zhao Weiming said, "Don't you have any difficult problems that need our help? Didn't Grandpa say that as long as you ask the questions, we will not give any discounts."
Jiutong hesitated and asked, "You guys?"
Zhao Weiming hurriedly said: "It's not okay to commit crimes." He said this on behalf of Zhang Nianzu.
Jiu Tong said seriously, "I need to build a chicken coop at home. If you two carry bricks for me for a day, we'll be even. Is that okay?"
Zhao Weiming was embarrassed, and the implication of Jiutong's words was very clear: Do I need you to do odd jobs for me?
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "I'll get you the property certificate right away."
Jiu Tong paused, and suddenly said: "Wait, I really have something that I need someone to run errands for."
Zhao Weiming said: "You say!"
Jiu Tong's face twisted a few times, and suddenly he waved his hand behind him: "Disperse."
The strong men who followed him agreed and retreated.
Jiutong glanced at Lao Wu again, and Lao Wu also left on his own accord.
Zhao Weiming said ambiguously: "It seems that this matter is indeed quite difficult."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiutong took the only stool in the room. He was silent for a moment and said, "The woman who followed me is already pregnant with my child. She's been pregnant for three months."
Zhao Weiming hurriedly said: "Congratulations."
"Congratulations!" Jiu Tong said, "I would like to get married with her, but her brother doesn't agree with us being together at all."
Zhao Weiming said: "Uh... could it be that my sister-in-law's brother is also a well-known figure in the underworld?" The person who can make Jiu Tong so taboo is probably not an ordinary person.
Jiutong waved his hand: "He's not very famous, but he does have a few idle people following him to make a living."
Zhao Weiming asked, "What does he do?"
Jiutong showed a look of contempt: "He deals in fake cigarettes, fake alcohol, and fake IDs. He also cheats people by making old jars and cans pass them off as antiques. Let's put it this way, he sells everything except wigs."
Zhao Weiming wondered, "Why doesn't he agree with you and sister-in-law being together? Aren't you... a good match?"
Zhang Nianzu glared at him. Is there anyone who can support the main role like this?
Unexpectedly, Jiutong immediately developed a feeling of confidant with Zhao Weiming. His face showed frustration and resentment that was extremely inconsistent with his ferocious appearance: "His brother dislikes me... I am not doing business."
"Puff——" Zhang Nianzu sprayed out all the tea he had just drunk.
Jiu Tong slammed the table and said angrily: "What do you mean, you look down on me too, don't you?"
Zhang Nianzu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I just want to say that my sister-in-law's brother is too demanding."
Jiutong was still angry and said, "He is in business, but he is also harming people. Kang Shibo, Maijie and Hongxing Erkang on the market in our city are all made by him!" Jiutong sighed, "Mr. Lu Xun said it well, bitches are just hypocritical!"
Zhao Weiming said: "This is originally a matter between you and your sister-in-law. Why is her brother interfering? Is your sister-in-law underage?"
Speaking of this, Jiutong sighed and said, "Your sister-in-law's parents died early, and it was her brother who raised her by selling fake goods, so whatever he says is what it is. If it weren't for this, would I be afraid of a fake seller?"
Zhang Nianzu asked: "What do you need us to do?"
Jiutong said: "No matter what you do, as long as her brother agrees that we can be together, then everything will be fine!"
Zhao Weiming clapped his hands and said, "It's settled! Not only do we have to get my sister-in-law's brother to agree, we also have to convince him to provide a car and a house to marry his sister to you!"
Jiu Tong said cautiously: "Forget about the car and the house, I have to dare to drive the car he accompanies me!"
