Chapter 36: Liu Bo's Beating

  Hei Zi did not storm out of the lab as the group leader had imagined, nor was he angry. He simply took a look at the test results, carefully folded them up and put them in his pocket.

  "Big brother, I also know you're doing this out of helplessness. I'll let Liu Bapi know the ferocity of Cheng Heizi." Heizi turned and left after saying that.

  The team leader was very nervous, he looked at Hei Zi walking out and said: "Brother, don't mess with Da Tou, Liu Bo Pi is in cahoots with him, be careful."

  Hei Zi and Da Tou were unfamiliar with each other, but had met a few times. Da Tou had several capable fighters under him, but Hei Zi looked down on them, thinking that he and Xiao Fei could take care of them by themselves.

  "Thanks, big brother, I'll remind Liu Bopi to be careful." With that, Heizi walked out of the laboratory office.

  Back at the warehouse entrance, the drivers of the six cars all gathered around to ask about the situation. As soon as they heard that they still had to wait, they became anxious. If they waited until afternoon to unload their cargo, they would have to drive back at night. Hei Zi hastily apologized and told everyone that they wouldn't be able to unload in the morning. He asked the drivers to lock up their cars and go find a restaurant to eat first.

  After lunch, I returned to the warehouse of the raw materials department and met Xiao Fei who had just come back. He took out the test report and said: "Lao Wu, this is the test result from the raw materials testing department of the county steel company. They say that all indicators are far beyond the standard coal, this is high-quality coal. In recent years, the high-quality coal allocated by the state to the steel company's state-owned coal mines is not as good as this coal."

  Hei Zi pulled out the test results from his pocket and handed them to Zhuo Xiao Fei, who was furious and cursed: "Damn it, dare to play this trick on me? He's had enough."

  The iron mine office is not yet open for business, so Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei rush to Zhao Wei Guo's home. In the iron mine, Zhao Wei Guo is the big boss, and hauling coal was approved by him, so they can only find Zhao Wei Guo first to explain the situation before making any plans.

  Zhao Weiguo's face turned pale after reading the two test reports. He didn't expect to have such people under his command. It seems that the coal sent by Da Tou was short of weight, and there is a great connection between the stone powder mixed in the coal and this Liu Bapi.

  Zhao Weiguo put the two test reports on the coffee table and said, "You go to the raw materials department first, I'll send someone over after I start work. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, these corrupt elements must be eliminated."

  With Zhao Weiguo's words, Hei Zi felt at ease, and he and Zhu Xiaofei rushed to the raw materials warehouse again.

  At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Kezhang from the Raw Materials Department rode a wooden donkey to the entrance, and Heizi said: "Liu Bapi is here."

  Xiao Fei rushed up and grabbed Liu Bo's collar, saying: "Liu Bo, get down here."

  Liu Bo Pi was originally not very heavy, and was easily picked up by the tall and large Zhuo Xiao Fei with one hand and thrown to the ground.

  "How dare you hit me?" Liu Boqi shouted as he scrambled up.

  "Old man is going to hit you, how about that, shout, shout loudly." Zhuo Xiaofei swung his hand and punched Liu Bo's face.

  Liu Boqi flew out like a kite with a broken string.

  It was just time for work, and people from the raw materials department and the testing laboratory were all gathered at the gate watching the commotion, not one of them came forward to speak.

  "Who dares to hit me, Liu Ge!" someone shouted from the crowd.

  With a loud voice, a middle-aged man of medium build with a head bigger than ordinary people by one circle walked out from the crowd, followed by five or six young men.

  Heizi took a look and saw it was Da Tou, then stepped forward and said: "Da Tou, this little brat bullied my brother, do you think he should be beaten up?"

  Big Head looked at Hei Zi and said: "Hei Zi, that's my brother, you know or don't you?"

  Dahai, in order to make money by delivering coal every year, showed great respect to Liu Bo Pi, addressing him as "Big Brother" and giving him plenty of money. At noon, Liu Bo Pi told Dahai that Cheng Hei Zi wanted to squeeze him out, and the coal he had brought was at the door of the raw materials warehouse. As soon as Dahai heard this, he became anxious, and when it was time for work in the afternoon, he called over a few strong workers who were good at fighting to come to the door of the raw materials warehouse.

  Dà tóu jiàn hēi zǐ duì zì jǐ ài dā bù lǐ de, duì zì jǐ shǒu xià huī shǒu shuō: "dòng shǒu, gěi wǒ pū tā."

  Translation:

  Big Head saw Heizi being cold to himself and said to his subordinates with a wave of his hand: "Take action, beat him up for me."

  Dahou's six subordinates surrounded Zhuo Xiaofei.

  Hei Zi knew that Zhu Xiao Fei couldn't beat the six of them alone, but he didn't help him. When Da Tou's six hands were closing in on Zhu Xiao Fei, Hei Zi kicked Da Tou's chest with one foot, causing Da Tou to stumble backward several steps and fall to the ground.

  Dà tóu hái méi pá qǐ lái, hēi zǐ jiàn bù shàng qián yòu shì yī jiǎo tī zài dà tóu de qián xiōng, dà tóu bèi tī de ngā ngā zhí jiào.

  Translation:

  The big head had not yet climbed up, and Heizi took another step forward and kicked the big head's chest again, causing the big head to cry out in pain.

  Da Tou's six subordinates had just surrounded Zhu Xiao Fei and hadn't even made a move when they heard Da Tou's mournful cry. They turned their heads to look, and saw Hei Zi kicking Da Tou with one foot after another.

  The six people were all brothers, seeing the eldest being beaten and turning their heads to rush towards Heizi.

  Xiao Fei saw six people surrounding Heizi and let out a loud roar as he charged forward, punching one person to the ground before pouncing on another.

  Soon seven people were beaten by Zhuo Xiaofei and Heizi, the two were fighting happily, a car horn sounded, followed by someone shouting: "Stop fighting, what are you doing?"

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei stopped, Da Tou and his brother were lying on the ground humming, Liu Bo Pi didn't get up, he was also afraid, worried that if he got up, he would be beaten by Zhu Xiao Fei again.

  The one who shouted was a middle-aged man wearing a half-length windbreaker. As soon as the middle-aged man got out of the car, someone in the crowd said, "Vice Mine Director Liu has arrived."

  "What's going on? Why are you fighting?" Deputy Mine Director Liu asked.

  Liu Bo-pi saw Liu Deputy Mine Director arrive, and he had someone to take charge for himself, so he crawled up from the ground and ran over to say: "Director Liu, these two are hooligans, they're causing trouble, let's hurry up and report it to the police."

  Deputy Director Liu glared at Liu Bo Pi and said with a cold expression: "Stand aside for now, we'll talk about your matter later."

  Liu Bo Pi is a subordinate of Deputy Mine Director Liu, and they have a good relationship in daily life. This time, when Liu Bo Pi got into trouble, Deputy Mine Director Liu initially wanted to help him out. However, after listening to Zhao Wei Guo's detailed account of the incident, he was thoroughly disappointed. Zhao Wei Guo is determined to deal with Liu Bo Pi, and now Deputy Mine Director Liu is thinking about how to distance himself from the situation and shift all the blame onto Liu Bo Pi alone.

  "Vice Manager Liu shouted at the onlookers: 'What are you all staring at? Don't you have work to do?'"

  The onlookers dispersed with a whoosh and hurried back to their respective offices.

  The onlookers dispersed, and Deputy Manager Liu asked: "Which one of you is Cheng Heizi."

  "Hei Zi stepped forward and said: 'Manager Liu, I am Cheng Hei Zi, ...'"

  Hei Zi hadn't finished speaking when Deputy Manager Liu waved his hand and said: "Don't say any more, I know what's going on with you. Is this the coal you people hauled?"

  "Hei Zi nodded and said: 'That's right, a total of six cars, about 300 tons.'"

  Deputy Manager Liu walked around the first car, thinking to himself, "You're too black-hearted, Liu Bo Pi. Such good coal isn't accepted, only those big-headed ones mixed with stones are accepted. This will lead to trouble sooner or later."

  "Hei Zi, let the driver drive in and unload the goods at the pump immediately." Manager Liu said with a wave of his hand.

  Hei Zi hailed the driver to get on the car and go to Guo Ben, wishing Xiao Fei had gone to Guo Ben. Da Tou and his men slipped away while Hei Zi and Liu Deputy Manager were talking. Hei Zi followed Liu Deputy Manager to Liu Bo Pi's office, where Liu Deputy Manager pointed to the sofa and said: "Hei Zi, sit down."

  Hei Zi sat down, and Liu Bo Pi, who was following behind, hastily poured water for Deputy Manager Liu and Hei Zi and handed it over.

  "Black, what do you plan to do about this matter?" asked Deputy Manager Liu.

  Hei Zi bluntly picked up the water and took a sip, saying: "Manager Liu, what happens at your mine has nothing to do with me, I won't interfere. I'm just here to deliver coal to earn some money for food. As long as I get to deliver coal from now on, I won't bother you about anything else."

  Liu Bo Pi was a bit unwilling, wanting to speak but being stopped by Deputy Manager Liu: "Director Liu, notify the person in charge of materials at each unit that from now on coal will be delivered by Cheng Hei Zi, and no one else is allowed to intervene. As for you..." Deputy Manager Liu glanced at Hei Zi without continuing.

  Liu Bopi understood Deputy Manager Liu's meaning, some words with Heizi present can't be said.

  Liu Bo Pi hastily said: "Alright, alright, Manager Liu, I'll go and take care of it right away."
