Chapter Seventy Old Master is Not Afraid

  Another 2 million, and the fifth sister and Huang Mao were free. The owner of the villa never appeared from start to finish. Hei Zi asked around and was told by the guards that this villa was bought by their boss for his subordinates to live in. Their boss rarely saw people, and none of them had ever seen him. They all listened to the orders of a man named Wang Fa Cai who pretended to be a big shot in the living room.

  Wu Mei and Huang Mao have been getting along well with the people in the villa these days, as long as she doesn't pester them to play cards with her. When Wu Mei is about to leave, she gathers everyone to go to Chunhai Hotel for a big meal.

  On the road, Hei Zi learned that the big brother of these people was called Long Ge. Long Ge was a well-known figure in Chunhai City, controlling nearly half of the city's underworld. Many shady dealings were related to him. Most people knew the name Long Ge, but few had seen him. The people at the villa today were all thugs who came to collect debts for Long Ge's underground casino.

  Wu Mei and her group were about to leave, so as their master, they had to see them off. Black Zi and the others arrived at Chun Hai Hotel not long ago, and Wu Mei's master also came to the hotel.

  Wu Mei's master was named Zhou Le Fei, who looked like he was forty-one or two years old. He wore a gray short-sleeved shirt and had a slender build. His face, which didn't have much flesh on it, rarely showed any expression, so no one could tell whether he was happy or sad.

  When Wu Mei introduced Hei Zi and his friends to her master, her master just nodded slightly, without shaking hands or showing any expression on his face.

  While everyone was eating and drinking, Wu Mei's master kept talking to Wu Mei in a nagging tone, and Wu Mei nodded constantly. From their conversation, it could be heard that they were discussing the precautions Wu Mei should take when gambling in the future.

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei were not interested in this cold-blooded person, they and others clinked glasses and drank happily. During the banquet, Hei Zi learned that Long Ge was involved in all sorts of businesses: real estate, import and export, wholesale and retail, running casinos, collecting protection fees, and mediating disputes. However, he had entrusted these industries to others to manage, his brothers were in charge of the underworld business, while professional managers were hired for the legitimate businesses. The underworld and legitimate businesses were two parallel lines that did not interfere with each other.

  Hei Zi was very interested in the business and wanted to ask more questions, but unfortunately these people were just thugs who only knew rumors and no one could confirm whether they were true or false. Hei Zi listened with a mixture of belief and doubt.

  The most depressed person at the banquet was Wang Fa Cai. Neither his subordinates nor Hei Zi paid attention to him. He vaguely heard his subordinates and Hei Zi say: "That kid loves to show off, showing off will get him struck by lightning, everyone should stay away from him, lest they get caught in the strike."

  After dinner, Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei watched Wu Mei and Huang Mao say goodbye to the people who were guarding them. They seemed to have gotten along well during this period of time, with a reluctant look on their faces.

  Out of the hotel, Heizi and others stopped a taxi and took it to the train station.

  After buying tickets and leaving the train with more than an hour to spare, the four of them had nothing to do after eating and drinking their fill, so they wandered aimlessly in front of the train station square.

  "Don't run, stand still for me." The voice was loud and excited.

  Hei Zi turned his head and saw four little rascals wearing colorful clothes, with dyed hair, laughing and running forward. Behind them, a big guy wearing a torn undershirt, with blood on his head and holding a brick in his hand, was chasing after them fiercely.

  "There's a show to watch, and people are fighting." Xiao Fei hehe laughed as she stared at the few little hooligans running past.

  The big guy behind, seventeen or eighteen years old, about 1.9 meters tall, very thin, with a large skeleton, slightly malnourished, eyes wide like cow eyes, very spirited, face full of anger, thick lips trembling non-stop when chasing, looks like he's been enraged.

  Four young hooligans slowly ran to the corner of the square, Hei Zi's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that this big guy was going to be at a disadvantage. When these four young hooligans escaped, they didn't seem nervous, with an air of confidence, as if there were still people hiding in the corner.

  Dà gè er wú bù yóu huì de zhuī jìn jiǎo luò, Huáng Máo shuō: "Zǒu la, méi dé kàn la."

  Translation:

  The big one hesitated for a moment before chasing into the corner. Yellow Hair said, "Let's go, there's nothing to see."

  "Hei Zi hastily said: 'Wait a minute, Da Ge is going to be taken advantage of.'"

  "How did you know?" asked Wu Mei.

  The fifth sister had just finished speaking when the big one suddenly fell out of the corner with his face up, and Huang Mao said: "Hey, it's really fun, let's go take a look."

  Hei Zi and others were passing by, when seven or eight people rushed out from the corner to gang up on Da Ge. A small mixed-blood with green hair and an earring had blood on his face, he must have been the last one to run away earlier.

  The big guy who fell to the ground struggled to get up, but there were too many people on the other side. One person kicked him with one foot, and he couldn't get up at all. The big guy held the brick slab tightly in his hand and was trampled by several feet without letting go.

  Hei Zi couldn't take it anymore, so many people beating up one person, and still not finished, he stepped forward and shouted: "Police!"

  The big guys who were beating up Xiao Hei were stunned. They looked up at Hei and saw that he was not afraid, so he continued to say: "The police are coming."

  A punk with a chain around his waist and a nose ring yelled: "F**king dare to impersonate a cop, you don't want to live."

  Heizi saw him speaking and scolding with dissatisfaction, saying: "I can't stand it when so many of you gang up on one person."

  "What's up with you guys too? Let's all gang up together!" Green Hair said nonchalantly, tilting her small face upwards.

  Just as they were talking, Da Ge stood up and swung a brick at Green Hair's head, leaving a red mark on his forehead.

  The big guy made a move, and the individual started to surround him again. This time he was standing, with room to counterattack, and swung a brick in a circular motion, but the individual couldn't get close.

  The big guy waved his brick slab while shouting: "I've lost and been defeated before, but I've never been afraid. You little rascals, I'll wipe you all out one by one."

  The big one is almost frantic, constantly shouting and waving the board brick, more and more people are watching, someone says, this group of rascals are bullying K again, this child is really pitiful.

  "Heizi heard someone knew about Dage's situation and went over to ask: 'Sister, why are so many people bullying him?'"

  The speaker was a woman in her thirties who looked like she was doing some small business on the station square.

  "Alas, this child is so pitiful, without a father or mother, picking up scraps at the train station. These thugs want to collect protection fees from him, he doesn't give in, and these people often beat him to assert their authority."

  Hei Zi became an orphan when he was in junior high school. After hearing what the big sister said, K felt very sympathetic towards him and decided to help this kid out by dealing with those thugs.

  After a while, K's energy was exhausted, and the circle of little rascals got smaller and smaller. Some little rascals took advantage of K's inattention and kicked him from behind. If this continued, K would be beaten up by the group.

  Hei Zi took off his undershirt and threw it to Zhu Xiao Fei, saying: "Xiao Fei, watch for me, don't let any of them escape."

  The fifth sister pulled at Hei Zi's undershirt and said: "Help me go."

  Xiao Fei smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, this little rascal, Heizi alone is enough, no need for me to take action."

  "With a brother like you, Hei Zi is unlucky, what's wrong with lending a helping hand?"

  Xiao Fei put his hand on Wu Mei's shoulder and said, "I'm not afraid of anything, I just want to let you see the strength of Hei Zi."
