Chapter 42: Warm Man
After Zhang Nianzu sent the letter, the dirty old man was no longer at the door. He didn't take it to heart and thought about going to the car repair shop first. He just walked to the intersection of Changsheng Street when a strange phone call came in. Zhang Nianzu picked up the phone and asked, "Who is it?"
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice on the other side asked hurriedly, "Zhang Nianzu, where are you now?"
Zhang Nianzu thought it was a regular customer who had repaired his car before, so he said, "I'm almost at the repair shop. Do you want to repair your car?"
The man asked anxiously, "You still dare to go back? Do you know that the people from Changfeng Group and Black Panther Gang are looking for you everywhere?"
Zhang Nianzu was stunned, stopped and asked: "Who are you?"
"I'm Jiutong." Jiutong said in rapid fire, "I didn't realize you were such a secretive person last time. You're the first person to cause the Changfeng Group and the Black Panther Gang to come looking for you together!"
It was too late for Zhang Nianzu to leave now - he saw Triangle Eyes coming out of the street with a dozen of his followers, surrounding him in a fan shape.
"Thank you, Brother Jiutong..." It seems that Jiutong was at the forefront of the society. After hearing the news that was unfavorable to Zhang Nianzu, he told him immediately to do him a favor. Zhang Nianzu looked at the slowly approaching Triangle Eyes, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, and continued to say to Jiutong, "Your information is really timely."
The man with triangular eyes stared at Zhang Nianzu. When enemies meet, their eyes are full of jealousy. His triangular eyes, which were already evil, were full of murderous light. He brought a group of people to surround him, and everyone put their hands into their arms.
Zhang Nianzu saw that this group of people were all carrying knives this time. It seemed that they considered that using sticks to block people in the city would be too conspicuous, and secondly, they wanted to kill them! He made a face at Triangle Eyes and ran across the street.
"Chase!" Triangle Eyes had learned from the experience in the park, so he was not too surprised this time and showed relatively good command qualities.
Zhang Nianzu stepped over the isolation railing with one leg. A thug behind him volunteered to rush over first. Perhaps he was too eager to show off, so he rushed over the railing with too much force and continued to stagger towards the middle of the road. At this time, a speeding car was about to hit him. Zhang Nianzu grabbed his collar and lifted him up. After the car passed by, he put him on the ground again.
The henchman was stunned, as if he didn't know whether he should continue to fight with Zhang Nianzu or express his gratitude first. Zhang Nianzu smiled at him and ran away down the alley.
The man with triangular eyes glared at the henchman fiercely and chased after him with his men.
Zhang Nianzu entered the alley and was about to reach the end when Triangle Eyes whistled from behind. Suddenly, five thugs appeared at the entrance of the alley and blocked the road. It seemed that this group of people were quite professional at blocking people in the city. They had predicted Zhang Nianzu's way and had laid an ambush there. Zhang Nianzu did not hesitate to go into the small supermarket in the middle of the alley.
The other side had the advantage of having more people, but Zhang Nianzu's advantage was that he was familiar with the terrain - the small supermarket had two doors, which led to another small road.
Triangle Eyes and his men joined together and rushed into the small supermarket, instantly making the place chaotic. These people followed Zhang Nianzu and rushed to the small road. Triangle Eyes was immediately happy - it turned out that there was a waste recycling station at one end of the small road, and although the other end led to the road, there was an iron gate more than one person tall and locked. In other words, Zhang Nianzu had locked himself in a dead end! Triangle Eyes shouted, drew his dagger and rushed up !
Zhang Nianzu had indeed miscalculated a step. The iron gate was usually never closed. When he saw the dagger approaching, he did not panic. He took a few steps back, ran to the iron gate, grabbed the iron mesh on the gate with both hands, exerted force with his waist, jumped into the air upside down, and with a beautiful somersault, landed the other side.
At the same time, Triangle Eyes was half a beat slower and stabbed the mesh with his knife. At this time, a tall thug also flew up by stepping on the iron gate like a show of skill, but he did not calculate the height well. When his body fell, the front of his body was caught by the sharp tip on the top of the iron gate. When he fell further, his abdomen was about to be pierced by the sharp tip. Zhang Nianzu kicked a pile of tall waste paper boxes over there, and he was able to hold the boxes with his hands to stop his falling.
The tall man climbed down the iron gate with a red face and ears, and watched Zhang Nianzu walk out of the alley with his eyes wide open in shock. The other henchmen also stood there in a daze, completely forgetting to deal with the iron gate.
Seeing that the morale of the troops was unstable, Triangle said angrily: "How come I blocked someone and found a warm man - if anyone is indecisive and doesn't work hard, I will make him pay!"
…
Zhang Nianzu temporarily got rid of the pursuers. He walked quickly on the street, feeling confused. Although he had fought with others before, he had never encountered such a situation of being chased everywhere. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as a dog that had lost its home. The two forces that surrounded him this time, Gu Changfeng and him were new and old enemies. The Changfeng Group was rich and powerful, Lei Xiaohu regarded him as a thorn in his side, and the Black Panther Gang was strong and powerful. It was not an exaggeration to say that there was no place in this city that was safe for him.
At this time, the phone rang. Zhang Nianzu picked up the phone with a slight breath. The other party said concisely : "It's me, Lao Jiang. It feels bad to be hunted down from all sides, right?"
Zhang Nianzu smiled bitterly and said, "You called just to mock me?"
Lao Jiang said, "Come to the bar to find me." Then he hung up the phone.
Zhang Nianzu did not hesitate. He knew that now was a good time to go find Lao Jiang. In order not to attract attention, he did not take a taxi or walk. Instead, he found a three-wheeled motorcycle and asked the driver to take him directly to the door of Dick's Bar. He rushed in.
It was mid-afternoon, and the bar had not yet opened. Lao Jiang was still sitting at the table where he had received Zhang Nianzu and Zhao Weiming last time. When he saw Zhang Nianzu come in, he said succinctly, "I'll give you two choices. Either call the police for protection, or join us at Thirteen Spices."
Zhang Nianzu sat next to him and asked, "You know this too?"
Lao Jiang deliberately exaggerated, "You are awesome! Changfeng Group and Black Panther Gang have made it clear that they have done nothing these days and are out in full force to find you! They have also put pressure on other societies - whoever dares to help you is their common enemy. Anyone who can provide you with information will be rewarded 500,000!"
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "It seems that I am a walking gold brick." He asked Chiang Kai-shek, "Then why are you still willing to help me?" Zhang Nianzu was actually very grateful that Chiang Kai-shek dared to take the initiative to approach him at this time.
Lao Jiang sighed and said, "I am already this old, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Zhang Nianzu was surprised and said, "Brother, you are only in your forties. Don't you think it's hypocritical to say such things?"
Lao Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk too much. You saved Xiaofeng, and I can't let you die tragically on the street."
Zhang Nianzu said, "What did you mean just now - calling the police is not an option for me."
Lao Jiang was surprised and asked, "Why? You are an ordinary person, why are you more resistant to the police than we are?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "If I call the police, I will never see Tingting again."
Lao Jiang sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's because of a woman. I wanted to advise you last time that Lei Xiaohu's daughter is a fire. You are just courting disaster."
Zhang Nianzu changed the subject and asked, "What do you mean by asking me to add Thirteen Spices?"
