Chapter 9: How Best Friends Are Made
Zhao Weiming's face was a little pale when he returned to his seat. He was 70% scared and 30% desperate. The screams of the two people who were forked out were not loud, but they were very heartbreaking. He put his head against the paper bag of 20,000 yuan and said distressedly: "See, hundreds of thousands of yuan were handed over, but when the name of the grandfather was mentioned, he didn't even give me a chance to speak!"
Zhang Nianzu was also a little confused and said, "It was easy to deal with before he became famous. He used to be Old Chiang, and now he is Jiang Ye. But fortunately someone became a scapegoat. If he had to do it himself, we would probably be in a much worse situation."
Zhao Weiming said, "If Chiang Kai-shek knew that this was all my wealth, would he be moved and let me off the hook?"
"No chance. Haven't you figured it out yet? The name Zuye is very taboo to Lao Jiang, but he must know Zuye."
At this time, Zhao Meir came over and stared at Zhao Weiming.
Zhao Weiming smiled and said, "Sister, are you here to drink too?"
Zhao Meier asked Zhao Weiming coldly: "Why are people from Changfeng here?"
Zhao Weiming was surprised and asked, "What do you mean? You don't suspect that I gave them the information, do you?"
Zhao Meir stopped talking. She believed that Zhao Weiming had a bottom line, but the appearance of the glasses was indeed an unsolved mystery in her mind.
Zhang Nianzu said: "Don't think about it. If the big investor can give the information to Zhiyuan, he can also give it to Changfeng. His purpose is to find people. The more people help him, the better. You are just one of the targets of his wide net. Who knows how many forces in this city are looking for this grandfather now!"
Zhao Weiming nodded with deep feeling. He said to Zhao Meier, "With the enemy at hand, can we unite our forces?"
Zhao Meir snorted.
Zhang Nianzu said bluntly: "Sit down, let's think of a solution together! Three people are always stronger than one person. If you had a solution, you wouldn't come to us."
Zhao Meir sat down with a stern face.
Zhao Weiming said: "Let's first guess what the relationship between Lao Jiang and Zu Ye is. Friends? Enemies? Father and son?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "It's meaningless even if you guess right. What's the point if he doesn't tell you? I'm more interested in Lao Jiang. He's a tough guy who can fight 19 people at once, but why has he been guarding such a small place for so many years and has never been known? Even if someone comes to grab the territory, he can run away according to the character he has shown over the years. What caused such an unknown and honest guy to suddenly become famous?"
At this time, another group of guests came. Lao Jiang greeted them with a smile as usual. In addition to his habit of humility, he was also cautious for fear that others would say he was arrogant. This is a middle-aged man who has no desire to call the shots. It is precisely because of this that the contrast is so strong and makes people curious.
Zhao Meier suddenly asked, "Why are men most likely to risk their lives?"
Normally, this question might have several answers, but at this moment, Zhao Weiming and Zhang Nianzu's minds were filled with Chiang Kai-shek's infatuated expression, and they both said in unison: "Woman?"
On the dance floor, Teresa Teng was singing her second song.
After receiving the guests, Lao Jiang supported his head with his bandaged hand, still looking at his goddess in a daze.
Zhang Nianzu snapped his fingers, and the sensor light suddenly lit up, just like walking in a dark corridor. He asked Zhao Meier: "Did you hear anything?"
Zhao Meier said, "Someone was chatting beside me just now, talking about the conflict between Lao Jiang and the Black Panther Gang - those 19 people were not here to grab territory, they just kicked out someone else's place, and came here to drink and celebrate, they didn't even realize that this is the Thirteen Spices' territory. After seeing Xu Xiaofeng, these guys insisted that she come to drink with them. Lao Jiang tried to smooth things over, but those people didn't agree, and then they started fighting!"
Zhao Weiming said: "It seems that Zuye and Xu Xiaofeng are the two weak spots for Chiang Kai-shek. If it weren't for these two people, with his personality, he wouldn't be angry even if he was asked to chop the ribs into sauce. Oh, could Chiang Kai-shek be the descendant of Jiang Menshen?"
Zhang Nianzu glared at him and said, "The one who chopped the sauce was Zhen Guanxi!"
Zhao Weiming said: "What should we do now?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "It seems that we can only start with Xu Xiaofeng. As long as we can make her happy, it shouldn't be a problem to take down Lao Jiang. She is so familiar with Lao Jiang, maybe she knows something about Zuye."
Zhao Meir suddenly stood up and left.
Zhao Weiming wondered, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Meier gave him a cold smile: "It's always easier for women to get to know each other. I will soon become Xu Xiaofeng's best friend."
Zhao Weiming asked eagerly, "Sister, will you share resources with us?"
"You think too much." Zhao Meir floated away. After singing two songs, Xu Xiaofeng tripped over the stairs when she was leaving the stage. Zhao Meir helped her up at the right time. Xu Xiaofeng smiled . Zhao Meir took her arm and the two of them went to the back room to change clothes, talking and laughing.
Zhao Weiming was stunned and said, "Is it successful already? I should have gone there earlier!"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Believe it or not, Chiang Kai-shek will beat you to death!"
Zhao Weiming thought about it and subconsciously shrank his neck.
The two women didn't come back for a long time after they left. Zhao Weiming said in frustration, "I don't think we can accomplish this. Not only have all the evildoers come out, but even my own sister is trying to sabotage me."
Zhang Nianzu said unhappily, "You are so good at backing out, why don't you form a band and sing for money?"
Zhao Weiming complained: "If I promised my father that I would never gamble again and that I would go to work for him after this is over, he would definitely not be able to ignore me, but I can't do that!"
Zhang Nianzu has a deep understanding of this childhood friend. Zhao Weiming is the type of person who will not die unless he does something stupid, and the one who causes trouble due to boredom. It's not that he has a special liking for gambling, but he just can't be idle, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable all over.
Sure enough, Zhao Weiming put forward his life belief: "If people don't have something exciting, wouldn't their lives be lived in vain?" At this time his phone rang. Zhao Weiming glanced at the caller ID and immediately said with a beaming face, "It's my sister. Could it be that this girl has a change of heart?" After picking up the phone, he heard a noisy voice inside, as if someone was struggling desperately. Zhao Meir's voice was intermittently shouting: "Help! Someone wants to kidnap me... Watch the tree pit..." and then she was forcibly hung up.
Zhao Weiming and Zhang Nianzu looked at each other in shock and ran out at the same time!
It was already late at night and there was no one outside the bar. Zhao Weiming searched around but could not find any evidence that anyone had been kidnapped there.
"Look at the tree pit?" Zhang Nianzu repeated this sentence and explored each tree pit. He saw that about five or six meters away from the entrance of the bar, a tree had a piece of bark knocked off, and there were traces of being brutally crushed by car tires in the tree pit.
"It's heading south, the car is red, let's go!" Zhang Nianzu quickly determined the result by the remaining paint and wheel tracks on the trees.
Zhao Weiming jumped into the car, and Zhang Nianzu quickly adjusted the front of the car and rushed onto the road. Zhao Weiming looked dazed and asked, "Did my sister get exposed? Was it Xu Xiaofeng who did it?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Your sister is probably a fish in the pond, and their target is Xu Xiaofeng."
"Then I feel half relieved."
Zhang Nianzu was speechless and said, "You have a pig brain. If something happens to Xu Xiaofeng, your sister won't be able to escape!"
Zhao Weiming said with a sad face: "Can't you comfort me?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "The other party kidnapped Lao Jiang's woman. Lao Jiang will not stand idly by - do you feel better about this?"
"Yes, if they dare to set their sights on Xu Xiaofeng, Chiang Kai-shek only needs to say one word and these bastards will be killed without a complete corpse!" Zhao Weiming did feel more at ease.
Zhang Nianzu said expressionlessly: "It's a pity that we are the only ones chasing him now."
Zhao Weiming pursed his lips and said with tears in his eyes: "Stop talking now."
Before it could be repaired, the battered Ford sped away south.
