Chapter 41 Old Neighbors
Housing estate.
Ah Bao lowered the passenger seat and lay back in a lazy posture.
He rested his hands behind his head, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and squinted, waiting for "good news" from Wu Tianyao and his group.
night.
Abao had all the necessary manpower ready.
He was just waiting for the big boss, Egg Tart, to give the order, so he could lead his men straight to Green Mountain Road, take over Wu Tianyao's territory, and successfully establish his presence.
"Who would want this run-down place?"
Ah Bao glanced at his watch: "What a waste of time. But I have to put on an act. The big boss will call soon, so floor the gas and head straight for Green Mountain Road!"
I'm so bored.
"Brother Bao, look at the herbal tea shop up ahead."
The younger brother gestured towards the herbal tea shop in the market, its lights on and doors open for business: "I heard that this is Wu Tianyao's own shop."
Abao scoffed: "Tacky, who does he think he is, daring to hang up the Wanglaoji signboard."
Wu Tianyao is dead. After tonight, he will be a thing of the past and soon be forgotten.
The Wanglaoji herbal tea shop was bustling tonight.
Normally, the store closes around 7 or 8 pm, but tonight it's already midnight.
The herbal tea shop was not only open but also bustling with activity, with tables set up outside where many dockworkers were sitting.
The owner, Li Rui, sat calmly at the first table, chatting and laughing with everyone, occasionally taking a sip of her cold tea from her bowl.
Wu Tianyao had already told Li Rui about it.
He originally wanted to keep some people at the herbal tea shop, but Li Rui declined, saying that he could handle it and that Wu Tianyao should focus on his own business.
Li Wanhua moved between the tables, replenishing everyone's herbal tea or snacks, and changing the ashtrays.
but.
Tonight, Lai Wan-wah seemed less energetic and cheerful than usual.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
His eyes had lost some of their sparkle, and he seemed absent-minded.
Yao went to Qingshan Road to plant a flag that night. He heard from Li Rui that there were few of them, and Li Wanhua was very worried.
He was preoccupied with worries.
on the road.
Fuyi's convoy is speeding towards us.
Earlier, Lu Liang lost 50,000 yuan in tea money to Fu Yi's boss, Ah Fu.
Ah Fu also wanted to settle scores. Taking advantage of Wu Tianyao's move to Qingshan Road tonight, he seized the opportunity and was determined to make his move.
The person leading the team was called Abao.
Fuyi only had this much territory, and before Huobao collapsed, he didn't have any space or territory to occupy.
Now that the hype has died down, Ah Bao has a chance.
Ah Fu ordered him to lead a team to seize all of Wu Tianyao's territory in the housing estate.
Incidentally.
The herbal tea shop and the Wangji Herbal Tea Processing Workshop not far behind it are also to be smashed.
These are all Wu Tianyao's businesses.
after all.
Lu Liang gave 50,000 yuan as tea money, so he had to do something to appease his benefactor.
The convoy arrived quickly.
Ah Bao jumped out of the car, yelling at his henchmen to go into the market and head straight for Wu Tianyao's gang.
There is an unwritten rule among the clubs.
We can pull down flags, collect protection money, and fight to the death without a care, but we can't touch these bosses.
The boss pays protection money every month; they are the big spenders, so naturally we have to be polite to them.
"Brother Bao".
The subordinate, huddled in the car, nudged Ah Bao, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Damn, Fu Yi's men really came."
Upon hearing this, Abao opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at Abao and his group who were rushing into the mahjong parlor and sweeping the floor: "Tsk, Fuyi really made a move."
"What should we do?" the younger brother asked, standing by the car window. "Should we rush over now?"
"Why rush over there?" Ah Bao snapped coldly. "We're going to plant our flag on Green Hill Road tonight. Are we wasting time and manpower here?"
That evening, he symbolically drove five cars and brought twenty-five people over.
It's already 12:05, Wu Tianyao and his team must have already started fighting.
They'll lose soon, and I'll have to go and take over.
Wasting time with Fu Yi here now, who will take on the responsibility of planting the flag on Qingshan Road?
He rocked the seat back up: "Drive, get ready to go to Castle Peak Road."
Count it up.
Now that I've gone there, by the time I arrive, Wu Tianyao will have already been killed in the street, which is just right.
"However, Master Ding told us to come and help Wu Tianyao keep watch. If we just sit idly by and watch Fuyi's men come in, what will happen then..."
"Bang!"
Ah Bao reached out and grabbed his underling by the collar, pressing him against the car window: "Think before you speak next time!"
"How much profit can Qingshan Road make? It's incomparable to this wretched place!" he snapped, displeased. "Plant a flag in Qingshan Road, and who would dare say a word?!"
"Drive!"
The younger brother nodded reluctantly, and the five cars headed towards Qingshan Road, ready to seamlessly take over Wu Tianyao's stall.
Fu Yi and his men advanced very quickly.
Wu Tianyao led everyone to Qingshan Road, where there was basically no obstruction.
It took me a bit of effort to get to the parking position.
There were more than a dozen valet parking attendants under Wu Tianyao's command at the parking spot, but they were quickly scattered.
Ah Bao, brimming with confidence, ordered his henchmen to inform the owners of the entertainment venues: "Tell those owners that from now on, protection money will be paid to Fu Yi Ah Bao!"
He then led thirty men to continue walking towards the market, heading straight for the Wanglaoji herbal tea shop.
A group of more than thirty people came up aggressively.
"Still want some tea? You're here to cause trouble!"
Ah-Bao slammed his hand on the table in front of him, making the teacup bounce: "Fu-Yi is causing trouble! All of you, get out of here!"
just.
No one left.
Abao drew his cleaver and slammed it onto the folding table, the blade embedding itself deeply: "If you don't leave now, I'll chop you all down!"
Li Rui, a cigarette dangling from his lips, stood up and walked over to Ah Bao: "Young man, don't you even know the basic rules of the underworld?"
"It's your business to plant your flags and disrupt my territory. I'll still pay my protection money every month. If you mess with my property, then you're the one who has no manners."
"Hahaha..." Ah Bao laughed loudly, "Old man, you think you can talk to me about rules?"
He waved his hand dismissively: "Go, give that old geezer a couple of slaps to wake him up and teach him what rules are!"
Two henchmen went up cursing and raised their right hands to slap Li Rui across the face.
Li Rui stood still, his lower body as stable as a wooden stake. When the two people came up, he finally moved and quickly darted away from the spot.
He reached out and grabbed the wrist of the henchman who was raising his hand, pulling him in front of him with a forceful squeeze, while at the same time kicking another person to the ground.
"Click!"
Li Rui exerted force with his arm, and the henchman's arm instantly drooped down, accompanied by a piercing scream.
The two henchmen didn't even have a chance to resist before they were instantly taken down.
"Grass!"
Ah Bao hadn't expected Li Rui's idea to be so stubborn, and immediately shouted, "Kill him!"
The seated guests all stood up, grabbed the dock loading and unloading tools beside them, and stared at them menacingly.
Their clothes were filthy, and they reeked of sweat. Beneath their tanned skin, their muscles bulged powerfully.
These people were all dockworkers who liked to come here to drink herbal tea when they had nothing to do. They all lived in the housing estate and were neighbors, so they were familiar with Lai Shui.
Knowing something was going to happen there that evening, he volunteered to stay: "Whoever dares to vandalize Old Li's herbal tea shop, we'll beat them up!"
The intimidating presence of those thirty-odd people was in no way inferior to that of the gangsters.
"I'll let you off this time!"
Seeing that these old neighbors were not easy to handle, Ah Bao made a harsh statement and turned to leave.
They've stepped in today, so let's hold onto our territory first, and then settle accounts with these old fogies later.
The phone rang.
As soon as Li Rui picked it up, Li Wanhua immediately leaned over and pricked up her ears.
Wu Tianyao's voice came through: "Uncle Li, how's the situation?"
"No problem." Li Rui said succinctly: "If Fu Yi's people step in, no one from your gang will step in to stop them."
"it is good."
Wu Tianyao hung up the phone.
Li Rui looked at her daughter beside her, who was pricked up and clutching a rag tightly: "He's fine."
"Ah...oh...it's nothing, it's nothing. Why are you telling me this? I don't understand." Li Wanhua hurriedly started wiping with a rag.
···
Castle Peak Road.
The convoy arrived quickly.
Ah Bao, holding onto the passenger-side handrail, urged his henchman to press the accelerator a little harder.
The phone rang.
Ah Bao said in a shrill voice, "What? Wu Tianyao and the others stepped inside?!"
He was just about to tell his underling to brake when the car arrived at the scene and came to a sudden stop.
front.
Wu Tianyao's henchmen came up and gathered, watching A Bao's convoy warily.
Wu Tianyao glanced at A Bao in the car, then took a cigarette from the pack and put it in his mouth.
He gave everyone a playful smile and said, "Don't be nervous, our own people have arrived."
