Unexpectedly provoked Fourth Brother

  Unexpectedly provoked Fourth Brother

  Li Jianguo's serious face made Liu Ziguang also become solemn, and he got up to follow him to the back of the tent to talk.

  Behind the big shed is a wall, dark and dirty. Drunken diners often use this place as a temporary toilet, and a strong smell of urine hits you in the face. In the distance, under the dim yellow streetlights, there are still several people squatting down to relieve themselves.

  Li Jianguo handed a cigarette to Liu Ziguang, helped him light it up, and the two men stood facing each other, only able to see each other's faces when the cigarette tips lit up.

  "I want to hand over the business to you." Li Jianguo said straightforwardly.

  "Why?" Liu Ziguang was secretly shocked in his heart. Although the lamb skewer business is a small investment, as long as you work hard and are willing to do it, making a few thousand yuan net income per month in this area is not a problem. Li Jianguo suddenly wants to transfer, definitely has a big grievance.

  "There's something going on at home and I urgently need some money." Li Jianguo didn't want to say any more.

  "How much?" Liu Ziguo asked calmly.

  "Greenhouse, tricycle, stove, table and chairs, plates, water bucket, steel bars. All are second-hand, not worth two cents, I'll give them to you for a fixed price of 30,000 yuan!"

  "Alright, I'll take it! But I have a condition." Liu Ziguang made the decision almost without thinking. He had many people under him and needed to give them something to do. This mutton skewer business was perfect for that. As for the price, to be honest, it wasn't low. These goods were basically junk, and restarting from scratch would only cost 5,000 yuan. Three million was not necessary. To be honest, what he was buying was just a location. But who knew when this night market business would be shut down? So three million was barely acceptable.

  "Speak freely! What are your demands?" Li Jianguo said.

  "I want to know what exactly happened that made you want to get rid of it completely."

  Li Jianguo took a deep drag on his cigarette, the flame burning rapidly as it cast a reddish glow on his resolute face: "Sister-in-law is ill, it's cancer."

  "Your sister-in-law?" Liu Ziguang immediately thought of Mao Hai.

  "It's like this, Máo Hái's mother, her father and I were comrades-in-arms, before he sacrificed himself, he entrusted me to take care of them, that's how it is."

  To cure his comrade's widow of her illness, Li Jianguo did not hesitate to sell the small business that he relied on for a living. He is a real man.

  "Wait a minute." Liu Ziguang turned around and left, but returned in less than a minute with a thick stack of money in his hand, which he placed in Li Jianguo's hand.

  11,000 yuan per bundle, a total of six bundles, is actually twice as much as Li Jianguo's opening price!

  Li Jianguo was taken aback: "Business is not worth so much."

  "The extra will be considered as borrowed by you, saving a life is urgent."

  Li Jian Guo nodded: "Alright, I'll take it." There were no more unnecessary words.

  Liu Ziguang turned around and walked back, suddenly hearing a shout from behind: "Brother, thanks!"

  Liu Ziguang stopped in his tracks, the dim streetlights stretching his shadow out very long and majestic. He didn't turn around, casually waving his hand: "I also have comrades."

  ……

  Liu Ziguang went back to continue drinking and eating, a thin figure just walked out of the dark, knelt down towards his back, and solemnly knocked three heads.

  A hairy kid who has been hiding beside and eavesdropping all along.

  ……

  Back in his seat, Bei Xiaoshuai asked: "Brother, what did the boss want with you?"

  Liu Ziguang said lightly: "Nothing, I'll just take this authentic disc down."

  Bei Xiaoshuai's eyes suddenly went dull, and then he excitedly jumped up: "Awesome! From now on, we don't have to pay for barbecue!" The several kids next to him also started cheering along with him. People at the nearby tables heard the commotion and joined in the excitement, even though they didn't know what was happening. The sound of clinking glasses and cheers filled the air.

  Liu Ziguang pretended to kick Bei Xiaoshuai: "Wanting a free ride, no way! The stall is still managed by Li Jianguo, you find a few brothers to hang around nearby at night, just keep an eye on it. If there are friends, bring them over to take care of business. Don't let the benefits go to outsiders."

  Bei Xiaoshuai couldn't help but feel excited, he's a guy who has high aspirations but lacks the ability to take action. Internet cafes, discos, restaurants and other physical businesses have long been on his mind, but he never had the capital or courage to take the plunge. After following Liu Ziguang, it only took him a few days to get his hands on a catering business "physical store". From now on, when he goes out with friends at night to cause trouble, they'll also have a place to go. How could he not be excited?

  After getting drunk and full, the group really went to Huacqing Pool for sauna. Huacqing Pool was just a second-rate bathhouse nearby, with an old gate that had a half-revealed ancient beauty suspected to be Yang Guifei painted on it, two red lanterns hung at the entrance indicating the nature of this business place.

  In the middle of the night, a group of half-naked and drunk guests rushed into the grand hall of Huaqingchi, scaring the boss of Huaqingchi so much that he thought someone was coming to cause trouble. Only when he saw they didn't bring any weapons did he realize they were there to cheer him on, and his face lit up with joy.

  Although Huaqing Pool is a bit old, the facilities are still good, with Chinese herbal bath, flower bath, milk bath, steam room, and sauna. The weather was not cold or hot, and there was nothing special to wash, so everyone rushed to take a shower and changed into white cotton robes to go upstairs.

  The second floor is divided into a leisure hall and small private rooms. At the entrance of the stairs, two waiters wearing white shirts stood, seeing a group of people rushing up, they hurriedly shouted: "Welcome!"

  A group of people trampled the wooden stairs, laughing loudly and recklessly as they went up to the second floor. A bald head poked out from a private room, looked at this group of unfamiliar faces, and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  The leisure hall was pitch black, with only two large LCD TVs playing some unknown movie. Along the wall, a row of scantily clad women sat listlessly on the seats. When they saw customers coming upstairs, they quickly came over and greeted them in Northeastern-accented Mandarin with enthusiasm: "Big brother, do you want to get a massage?"

  Liu Ziguang was clear in his rewards and punishments. All those who followed him to the hospital during the day were given a full life, while those who followed the young lady to the cannon room for business went with her, and Bei Xiaoshuai also took a big step forward. As for the younger middle school students, after washing and showering, they were sent home, under the pretext of not learning bad things.

  This left Liu Ziguang alone in the hall, lying on a sofa in a quiet corner watching TV. Suddenly, a black shadow walked over and shouted at Liu Ziguang: "You! Come here."

  Liu Ziguang sat up straight, looking around in confusion, and saw that there was no one else. He confirmed that the person was calling him, then looked at the man's clothes, which were also sauna attire, and not those of a bath center staff member.

  "Hey, that's you! Fourth Brother is looking for you, hurry up!" The bald head of the man kept changing colors in the flickering light.

  Heaven knows where the fourth brother came from, Liu Ziguang was idle and had nothing to do, so he stood up, adjusted his clothes, wore his slippers, and followed the bald head towards the VIP room opposite the hall.

  Pushing open the door of the private room, inside was thick with smoke and four men were gathered around a table playing mahjong, each accompanied by a seductive woman who helped them hold cards, light cigarettes, and pass fruit plates.

  Liu Ziguang came in and the bald man stood by the door with his hands hanging down, motionless. Liu Ziguang noticed that the tips of his fists were worn smooth, probably a practitioner.

  The four people around the mahjong table all had a strong gangster air about them, with their tops off and thick gold chains hanging from their necks. Whether they were fat or thin, they all had a look of arrogance on their faces, and didn't appear to be good people at first glance.

  After Liu Ziguang came in, they didn't even raise an eyebrow, continuing to play cards. Liu Ziguang stood still like this, distinguishing from their conversation while playing cards that the so-called Fourth Brother was the fat guy sitting at the south window, with a green dragon coiled around his body, and the meat on the back of his head shaking slightly.

  They completely ignored Liu Ziguang, treating him as if he were air. As they continued to shuffle the cards, Liu Ziguang suddenly spoke up and said: "If Fourth Brother has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first."

  He turned around and left, but the bald-headed man at the door stretched out his hand to block him, cursing: "Fourth brother wants to leave without permission, do you know the rules?"

  With a loud "slap", Liu Ziguo suddenly punched the bald man's face with a heavy fist, and his fragile nasal bone broke immediately. Blood splattered everywhere, and Liu Ziguo quickly followed up with a knee to his abdomen, knocking him down on the spot. On the small tea table next to him was a large square glass ashtray, which Liu Ziguo had already eyed earlier. He grabbed it and slammed it onto the bald man's head several times, until the latter's face was covered in blood and bruises.

  Liu Ziguang's white cotton bathrobe was speckled with bloodstains all over, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

  Everything happened too fast, in just a few seconds. The four brothers and others didn't even have time to react, not as quick as those whores who had already shouted loudly.

  "My god! You're quite ruthless." Fourth Brother pushed the card table and stood up, his tone didn't seem very surprised, apparently a person who has seen many storms, sitting down he wasn't noticeable, but standing up he was quite tall, about 185cm in height, 200 pounds in weight, like a giant tower.

  The other three people also stood up, staring coldly at Liu Ziguang, their fists clenched into tight balls with audible cracking sounds, all with an eager-to-try expression.

  A burst of noisy footsteps sounded, and seven or eight more people rushed into the small package room, all of them were Liu Ziguang's men. The young men had obviously heard the commotion and came directly from the artillery room, wearing only a pair of large underwear, all in their early twenties, with robust and bare backs, furrowed brows and cold eyes, with an air of readiness to fight at any moment.

  The situation turned sharply, Liu Ziguang's side had ten people, while the fourth brother's side only had four people. It was clear that the fourth brother and his men were old hands who knew the principle of not taking advantage of good people.

  "Ah, quite ruthless, I heard that recently a new person has emerged from Gaotu Slope, playing not badly, perhaps it's you." Fourth Brother said coldly, at the moment when his sword was drawn and ready to strike, he instead sat down, lit a cigarette, calm and composed, apparently not an ordinary person.

  "That's right, it's me, my name is Liu Ziguang, remember that, don't just call out to me whenever you feel like it, I'm not used to it." After saying this, Liu Ziguang snapped his fingers at Xiaobei, who immediately understood and took out a stack of money from her bag.

  Liu Ziguang squatted down, scattering 1,000 yuan on the bald man who had already fainted, and said with a heavy heart: "Take it to see a doctor, next time remember, don't block my way."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't even glance at Fourth Brother and led his men to leave triumphantly. By the time they reached the staircase entrance, the manager finally caught up with a few security guards, but seeing Liu Ziguang and others' fierce momentum, they didn't dare block them and could only stand on the stairs, watching them swagger down with their heads held high.

  In the dressing room, everyone quickly changed their clothes. Bei Xiaoshuai lowered his voice and said, "Brother, do you know what that fat guy is up to?"

  "Who cares about him, he thinks he can intimidate me? He's still too young." Liu Ziguang put on his pants with a nonchalant expression. "Xiao Bei, remember this: as my younger brother, no matter where we go, we must never back down. We're the ones who bully others, not the other way around!"

  Bei Xiaoshuai nodded continuously, with a face full of admiration.

  Settled the bill at the front desk, not a penny less, and even gave an extra 50 yuan, which was considered as the cleaning fee for contaminating the bathrobe. The ten brothers came out of Huaqing Pool, cautiously looked around, opened the trunk first, took out the long-handled axe and shovel, weighed them in their hands, then got on the car and started it. Six people followed the car on foot, quickly withdrawing.

  Huaying Pool 2nd floor, Fourth Brother stood by the table, staring at this scene, his hand holding the phone had already dialed the number, but never made the call.

  "Fourth brother, why don't you call someone to beat up this 13th generation descendant?" a big man said fiercely.

  "First check his background, it's been a long time since I've seen such an impulsive young man." Fourth brother said slowly.
