There was a noisy sound of fighting and insults coming from the other end of the phone.
"Wan'er, Qiqi, I'm going out to handle some business. Don't come out!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen walked out.
In the corridor on the second floor.
Two groups of people were fighting furiously.
Wu Hui was like a war god, holding a chair leg and smashing randomly.
His attacks were accurate and ruthless.
Wu Bin usually seemed honest and simple, but when it came to fighting, he was not ambiguous at all.
He was grabbing a yellow-haired guy by the neck and hitting his abdomen hard with his knee.
That yellow-haired guy was starting to roll his eyes.
Chen Xiaolong and Chen Kai were relatively young, and the two were beaten rather embarrassingly.
"Don't fight anymore... You guys, don't fight anymore..."
Qi Yunfeng was doing his best to "break up the fight".
He used a neck triangle lock to restrain a burly man tightly.
Qi Hang rushed over and smashed the man's head with a bottle of Erguotou.
Crash!
The bottle broke, and the burly man's head was bleeding.
At this time, three more young men carrying wine bottles rushed towards Qi Yunfeng.
Qi Yunfeng's eyes narrowed, and with a sudden turn, he threw the burly man out.
The burly man knocked down the three young men who rushed up.
Immediately after...
Seven or eight people rushed out from another private room.
They were all holding unopened beers in their hands.
The person at the head was Cao Ming. He pointed at Wu Hui with a wine bottle and shouted, "Wu Hui... Do you not want to mix anymore?"
Wu Hui twisted his neck, spat a mouthful of blood foam on the ground, and showed his teeth as he smiled. "Come on. I haven't fought for a long time. Today, I'll have a good time with you guys!"
Cao Ming seemed to be a little afraid of Wu Hui. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. Afraid of losing face in front of his brothers, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Is it because my brother hasn't beaten you for too long and you're not comfortable?"
Zhou Chen walked down from the stairwell holding a chair leg.
Seeing that the other group was Cao Ming, Zhou Chen frowned slightly.
Wu Hui had said that Cao Ming's elder brother was Cao Yuan, and Cao Yuan was the big boss in this area.
Offending Cao Ming and Cao Yuan would probably cause big trouble next.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Chen threw away the chair leg in his hand and walked over quickly. "Wu Hui... What happened?"
Wu Hui took the cigarette clipped behind his ear and put it in his mouth to light it. Then he began to explain, "A few brats in the next private room got drunk and came to our side to cause trouble!"
Zhou Chen nodded and looked at Cao Ming and said with a smile, "Senior, your people are in the wrong in this matter. Let's just let it go. I'll pay for today's consumption!"
Wu Hui knitted his brows tightly but didn't say a word.
He knew that Zhou Chen had to think about his business.
The bruised and swollen Chen Kai came over and said loudly, "Brother Chen, are you crazy? Clearly they caused the trouble. Why should you still treat them to a meal?"
Treating them to a meal is just an apology and admission of fault, right?
He couldn't accept Zhou Chen's approach.
Chen Xiaolong also limped over and said with red eyes, "Zhou Chen, when did you become so cowardly?"
In high school, Zhou Chen was even fiercer in a fight than himself.
Even if a classmate was bullied, he would be the first to take action.
Now that he was beaten like this, it was fine if Zhou Chen didn't help. But he still wanted to treat them to a meal?
So wronged...
Qi Hang put his hands in his pockets. His arm was scratched by glass. His long hair covered half of his face, so his expression couldn't be seen.
Qi Yunfeng was crossing his arms. He thought Zhou Chen had done the right thing.
The other side had a large number of people. If the fight continued, it would only be their side that would suffer.
Zhou Chen's way of handling this could only be said that his state of mind was mature and stable.
Zhou Chen ignored everyone's emotions and continued to stare at Cao Ming and ask, "Senior... What do you think?"
After a moment of hesitation, Cao Ming said, "I want eight thousand yuan for medical expenses!"
"Damn..."
Chen Kai and Chen Xiaolong almost lost their tempers.
As if we weren't injured?
Wu Bin stepped forward and said, "Brother Chen, if you give them medical expenses, I will look down on you!"
Big brother often tells me...
A person can be without money, but cannot be without backbone.
When he and big brother were at their worst, they would rather sleep in a bridge hole and starve than beg.
Zhou Chen looked up and stared at Wu Hui and asked, "Did you bring the money?"
Wu Hui looked silently at Wu Qiang who was hiding in the private room.
Wu Qiang was carrying the backpack with three hundred thousand yuan in cash.
Zhou Chen walked into the private room and took eight thousand yuan from the backpack.
Handing this money to Cao Ming, Zhou Chen said indifferently, "This is for medical expenses!"
Cao Ming's mouth curved into a smile. "You're still a sensible kid. But I still want to remind you. In the future, it's best to stay away from them. Today I'm in a good mood, so I won't bother with you."
After saying that, he waved his hand. "Let's go. Continue drinking!"
Cao Ming's people all returned to their private room.
Wu Hui and the others also returned to their own private room.
Chen Xiaolong shouted at Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, I want to break off our friendship!"
After saying that, he turned around and limped away.
Wu Bin sighed. "Brother, I quit too!"
Chen Kai didn't say anything and silently followed Wu Bin and left.
Qi Yunfeng shook his head and smiled wryly. "Young people are so impatient!"
Qi Hang unscrewed a bottle of Erguotou and poured it on the wound on his arm.
The veins on his neck bulged, but he didn't make a sound.
Qi Yunfeng took a deep look at this thin Qi Hang.
This guy is thin, but he is also a tough one!
Tough on others and tough on himself.
Wu Hui finished smoking one cigarette and then lit another.
Zhou Chen took the Erguotou that Qi Hang had placed on the table and took a couple of gulps.
The strong liquor went down his throat, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"We'll remember this debt first!"
"In less than a month, I will make Cao Yuan and Cao Ming get out of Jiangzhou!"
Zhou Chen's tone was calm, but there was a fierce look in his deep eyes.
His brothers were beaten, and he didn't feel good either.
But now that the business has just started, when it's time to endure, one still has to endure.
Wu Hui stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. "In the past, this area was under the jurisdiction of Lei Laohu. I followed Lei Laohu for more than ten years. Later, Cao Yuan suddenly brought more than ten million yuan to acquire several entertainment venues. In a short period of time, he suppressed all of Lei Laohu's businesses. Lei Laohu's business plummeted. Several loyal lackeys under him were also bought over by Cao Yuan. In the end, Cao Yuan found someone to kill Lei Laohu's wife. Lei Laohu was so angry that he jumped off a building and died..."
Qi Yunfeng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of steamed fish and put it in his mouth. Then he said, "I thought you guys fought directly when competing for territory!"
"Ten years ago, it might have been a direct fight. Back then, two or three hundred people would start fighting at the same time. But in recent years, all regions have been strengthening public security management. Large-scale armed conflicts have become rare!" Qi Hang said as he leaned back in his chair.
"You are younger than me, but you have experienced more than me!" Qi Yunfeng chuckled wryly.
"You are a soldier. It's normal that you don't know about these things!" Qi Hang said with a faint smile.
Jingle!
Zhou Chen received a strange call.
The person on the other end spoke respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Half a Cigarette?"
Half a Cigarette is Zhou Chen's forum ID.
Zhou Chen replied, "It's me..."
The person on the other end of the phone sounded excited. "I am Xiao Song, the business manager of Xinglong Real Estate Agency. I saw a thread you posted on the Jiangzhou Forum about purchasing real estate in Wangjiang District. Coincidentally, I have several housing sources in my hand..."
