Chapter 65 Rubber Band Pulling Time
Just when Zhang Nianzu was extremely conflicted, the door of the bar was kicked open, and more than 40 people rushed in with various weapons. The leader, a man with a mustache, pointed at Lao Jiang aggressively and said, "Jiang Zhicheng! Do you really think the Black Panther Gang is easy to bully?" Behind him were twelve people holding sandalwood sticks. They were of different ages and had calm expressions.
Someone said in horror: "The twelve Panther-headed cudgels of the Black Panther Gang have arrived!"
Behind these twelve sticks were nearly thirty strong fighters, all of whom seemed to be veterans. The Black Panthers and Chiang Kai-shek had maintained a face-saving peace for several months, but the day finally came when the enemy was at the gates. And it was obvious that they had sent many more skilled fighters. Last time Chiang Kai-shek won a tragic victory with only one against nineteen, and this time they had more than doubled their troops, determined to win!
The people in the bar were all frightened by this situation. The brave ones felt excited, the timid ones were already thinking about running away, and only the mature and prudent ones felt worried - once the battle started, it would be difficult for everyone if the higher-ups were alerted. However, everyone was wondering about one question: Why did the Black Panther Gang suddenly come to the door after so many days? Didn't Lei Xiaohu make a promise of peace?
Lao Jiang was also a little confused. He knew Lei Xiaohu's attitude towards him. If they came to deal with him in a big way, it would not be worth it for the Black Panthers in terms of face and economy. If they won, they would only be labeled as bullies. If they lost, it would be counterproductive. He was just a chicken rib to the Black Panthers. So the other party simply pretended to be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones. In fact, they just wanted to play the high-handed attitude of a strong man. But why did they counterattack today? If they had come to cause trouble on the day he let Zhang Nianzu run away, it would have been fine. But who did they offend today because it was not a festival?
Lao Jiang said to the mustache man, "Brother, please explain clearly, how did I offend the Black Panther Gang?"
The man with the mustache seemed to be a prominent figure in the Black Panther Gang. He glared at her and said angrily, "Who the hell is your brother? Don't you know what you did?"
Lao Jiang became more and more confused and asked, "What did I do?"
The mustache man became even angrier. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You came to my company this afternoon to cause trouble, beating up everyone you saw and injuring more than a dozen of my brothers. You're not afraid to admit it, are you?"
Everyone understood now. The so-called company was either an underground casino or a similar place that was not allowed to be seen in the light. The so-called brothers were thugs. In other words, someone raided the Black Panther Gang's place in the afternoon, so the man with a mustache came to take revenge.
Lao Jiang was stunned and said, "I was here the whole time when the bar was checking the bill this afternoon. All the waiters can testify to this. The people who came earlier also saw me. How could I have the time to go to your place and cause trouble?"
The man with the mustache said, "Nonsense, of course your people are on your side. We in the Black Panther Gang are not the police, and we don't need to rely on solid evidence to do things. After all, did anyone see Jiang Zhicheng in the bar this afternoon?"
The whole audience was silent. Who would be willing to offend the Black Panther Gang so easily?
Lao Jiang snorted, his face turned stern. "You put the blame on me with just one sentence, how can I take it off? You Black Panthers are holding a grudge against me for what happened last time. If you want to kill me, just say so. What's the point of finding such a lame excuse?"
The mustache guy jumped up in anger: "Bullshit! My brothers said that the other party knocked them all down by himself , and now several of them are lying in the hospital. Who else could it be except you?"
Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder the mustache was so angry and hesitant. It turned out that there was only one enemy. It was embarrassing to say it out loud! However, many people also cast their suspicion on Lao Jiang. It was impossible for ordinary people to defeat more than a dozen Black Panthers by themselves, but Lao Jiang was very familiar with it. As expected, he was the most suspicious!
Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Did you see what that person looks like?"
The mustache man said, "They said he was a big guy."
Hearing this, Lao Jiang silently turned around and said, "Do you think I'm big?" Someone laughed. Lao Jiang was only about 1.6 meters tall, with a round head and belly, but at best he was just a little fat, not a big guy.
The man with a mustache was stunned. He was not present in the afternoon, but later he heard from the injured that the opponent was very big and vicious, and had knocked down more than a dozen people without saying a word. He hardly had time to think about it. His first reaction was that Jiang Zhicheng did it. He immediately gathered the most capable fighters in the society to settle the score. Now he saw that Jiang Zhicheng did not meet the appearance requirements. But this is not a martial arts film. Where can there be so many masters who can fight more than a dozen people at the same time?
Lao Jiang smiled and said, "I understand. Although I am not tall, I am a great man in the minds of you Black Panthers."
boom--
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lao Jiang was waving his hands behind him while teasing and interrupting. His meaning was obvious: let Zhang Nianzu get out of here! The lights in the bar were flashing, and the attention of the little mustache guys was focused on Lao Jiang from the beginning, so this group of people hadn't discovered Zhang Nianzu yet. Lao Jiang didn't want to cause any more trouble at this time.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Nianzu suddenly stood up and asked the man with a small mustache: "You said that man was a big guy?" He had a deep impression of the man at the hospital gate. That man was a typical big guy.
"Huh?" He didn't recognize the man with the mustache, but Zhang Nianzu had many acquaintances among the group of people behind him. Among them, one of the middle-aged men with a stick flower jumped out immediately after confirming it.
"Zhang Nianzu!" Last time, he brought a dozen people to the apartment building to block someone, but the other party ran away . This was simply the only shame in his career, so he had a deep resentment towards Zhang Nianzu!
Zhang Nianzu just nodded at him: "I'll tell you later." He continued to ask the mustache man, "Is that man very strong, but has very short legs?"
"Ah, yes." The man with the mustache responded unconsciously, then shouted, "You are Zhang Nianzu?"
Zhang Nianzu spread his hands and said, "Such a surprise?"
The little mustache turned around and asked the middle-aged stick flower: "Is this the person that Brother Tiger wants?"
The middle-aged stick flower said gloomily: "It's him!"
The mustache man originally thought that he might have messed up, but now he perked up. He pointed at Zhang Nianzu and said, "Since this is the person Brother Tiger wants, we must take him away!" With this reason, he finally had a legitimate reason...
The middle-aged stick flower said to Lao Jiang: "We have to decide this person today, don't meddle in other people's business!" This is a very clear warning. Last time at Dick's Bar, Zhang Nianzu was protected by a masked fat man and escaped. Although there was no direct evidence to prove that it was Lao Jiang, everyone knew it. Today, I have brought enough forces here. If Lao Jiang insists on intervening, then we can start fighting. As for the ceasefire agreement between Lei Xiaohu and him, it was actually a piece of paper when it was formulated, but the Black Panther Gang waited for the opportunity to tear it up first.
Without waiting for Lao Jiang to speak, Zhang Nianzu pointed to the door and said, "Let's give Mr. Jiang some face. If there is anything, we can go out and solve it."
The middle-aged stick flower sneered: "Are you still thinking about running away?"
"I'm not in a hurry, you guys go first." Zhang Nianzu indicated that he would follow him out.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the remaining eleven men followed him out and surrounded the entrance of the bar tightly.
Lao Jiang grabbed Zhang Nianzu and whispered, "What are you planning?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "I have something to ask them."
Lao Jiang asked worriedly, " Can you handle it alone?"
Zhang Nianzu stretched his shoulders and answered the question irrelevantly: "Normally I would pull the rubber band at this time, but it's been a while since I pulled it and it's a bit itchy."
