People are usually extremely cautious when walking in the dark. [ ] When you finally try to take a step, how do you know if the darkness will bring new dangers? Just because you don’t know, there will definitely be
There are new dangers.
Zuo Shaoqing was in this situation. She did not notice this new danger for a long time.
Just when she and Zhang Bowei met in the "Revolving Door" private room, something happened outside the "Revolving Door" entertainment hall. It was a small thing that usually no one would care about, but it had a profound impact.
, but it determined the fate of several people.
Human destiny is like this. Who knows which little ant-like thing will change the direction of your destiny?
Outside the "Revolving Door" entertainment hall, there is a bustling small street with bright lights and lively entertainment. Many pedestrians pass by here. At the beginning, a black car drove quietly not far from the "Revolving Door" entertainment hall.
Stopped. The place was under the shade of trees. No one cared that a car was parked there. No one in the car got out.
Later, people heard a woman's scream, which caused many pedestrians to turn around and look. They saw a young girl running across the street, crying. Then, people saw several people in black clothes chasing after them.
Shouting to her to stop.
People at that time had seen many such things, either collecting debts, catching thieves, or trying to elope. The passers-by on the street just watched and did not interfere. They just felt a little sympathy for the girl in their hearts.
.
The girl was about to be overtaken by those people. She looked around in fear for someone who could save her life or a place where she could hide. She panicked and rushed into the door of the "revolving door" entertainment hall.
As soon as she entered the hall, she ran around and shouted when she saw people: "Help, help me!"
Although the "revolving door" entertainment hall is a public place, anyone can come in and play in theory. But in fact, not everyone is willing to come in. There are a few people who know that Zuo Shaoqing is behind the scenes here, so,
Generally they will not come in. One is the police. If there is official business, they will contact Zuo Shaoqing first to avoid misunderstandings. The second is taxation. Although they collect the tax that should be collected, if they want to secretly increase the amount and find trouble for extortion,
That's not possible. The third type is people from local gangs. It's okay to come here to eat, drink, and have fun, but if they want to show off their power here and arrest and beat people, that's not okay. It's not that it's not okay, but they really don't dare. They
Everyone knows that this woman from the Secrecy Bureau has a bad temper, and her brothers are even crueler than the people in the gang. If you mess with her, you will never end well.
Those who chased the girl that night were people from the gang. They chased her to the door but did not dare to go in. Besides, the boss did not ask them to rush in and arrest her. They blocked the entrance of the entertainment hall and yelled and demanded.
The people in the entertainment hall handed over the girl.
The waiters and stewards in the entertainment hall stopped the girl and tried to drive her out. They didn't want the girl to cause any trouble here.
The girl cried and knelt down, "Uncle, aunt, please save me. I will die as soon as I go out. I beg you."
A steward asked: "You, you, what's going on with you? If you have something to say, please go outside and stay away from here."
The girl said: "Uncle, uncle, my father is sick, and my mother borrowed some usury money to help my father get sick. Unexpectedly, my father's illness was not cured, but the usury money kept increasing. The family could sell everything they had.
Even if I sell it, I still can't pay back the loan money. Those creditors will sell me to a brothel to pay off the debt. Uncle, uncle, aunt, if I am sold to a brothel, can I still live? Please, uncle, aunt, please,
Please save me, please save me." The girl cried sadly, which moved the people around her.
The waiters and stewards around are actually poor people, working here to earn a living. They are not rich, but they are sympathetic. Looking at this girl, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate appearance, she cries.
His eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it. They led the girl to a corner, and several people discussed in low voices behind her.
One said: "Ask the owner if he is willing to take her in. Maybe he can save her life."
The other one said: "That's all in vain. There is a group of people outside who are asking us to hand over people. Who dares to keep them?"
Several people discussed it but couldn't figure it out, so they all shook their heads and said, "It's better to ask her to leave. We have nothing to do and don't cause any trouble."
It was a waitress who came up with an idea. She said: "Don't go to the boss, it's useless. I said, Miss Su is here, why not just ask her directly. If she is willing to come forward, this matter can be solved no matter what."
Several people looked at each other. They all knew who Miss Su was. They were always cautious when serving her, for fear of making her angry. At this time, no one dared to come forward. The final result of the discussion was to go together to beg.
, can embolden each other, and maybe it will be better.
In fact, Zuo Shaoqing already knew about this. As soon as Zhang Bowei left, one of her men quietly came in and told her that someone was making trouble outside, and a girl who was hiding from debts ran into the entertainment hall. She asked who was collecting the debts.
The subordinates said that the people who came up were from Shui Ximen. Shui Ximen was from "Xi Batian" Liao Fengshan. She didn't want to get involved in the gang's debt collection. This kind of thing happened every day. Besides, there was no need to provoke the gang's people.
What about people.
But when several waiters and stewards carefully knocked on her door and stood outside the door, bowing to her repeatedly, she knew that she could no longer ignore this matter.
Zuo Shaoqing asked about the situation, then stood up and walked out. She found a table in a corner of the restaurant and sat down. Someone immediately led the girl over.
The girl understood that the man in front of her might save her life, so she immediately knelt down and begged her in tears.
Zuo Shaoqing asked: "What is your name?"
The girl said: "My name is Xu Xiaoyu. My father died of illness, and my mother can't pay back the usury money. They... are going to sell me to a brothel. Please save me, I don't want to go to that place even if I die."
As he spoke, he started crying.
When officials hear this name, they may think that she is Liu Qiuyue's cousin and the daughter of Liu Qiuyue's aunt. Cheng Yunfa once promised to help her find something to do. Now, this is it.
Zuo Shaoqing didn't speak for a while. She really didn't want to take care of this matter. But the look of the waiters and stewards around her told her that she had to take care of it even if she didn't want to. What she was thinking about was not sympathy, she herself sympathized with this girl.
What she hates most is taking away people's wives and daughters. In the third chapter of the law she and Hong Shankui made in Luo Fengling back then, there was a stipulation not to take away people's wives and daughters.
She was thinking about the other side. Don't belittle these waiters. Although they are just careless people, if they come to you at the critical moment, they may decide your life or death. Although this is just a case.
It is important to worry about, but it should not be underestimated. How many great people in the world have fallen into the hands of little people inadvertently.
Zuo Shaoqing glanced at the waiters and stewards in front of him, pointed at one of the stewards and said, "You, please ask your boss to come over and I will discuss it with him."
The steward hurriedly turned around and left. After a while, the restaurant owner ran over and touched Zuo Shaoqing carefully.
Zuo Shaoqing glanced at him and said, "As a mercy, let this girl stay. She can't do anything else. She can clean the table and sweep the floor."
The boss said carefully: "Miss Su, there is a group of people outside, and I..."
Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "You leave her here, I'll tell them what's going on outside." With that, she got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Zuo Shaoqing walked to the "revolving door" foyer, picked up the phone from the counter, and dialed a number. After a while, someone answered, it was "Xi Batian" Liao Fengshan. She said: "President Liao
,Are you busy?"
Liao Fengshan recognized who it was and immediately said with a smile: "Hey, it's Team Leader Su. I'm busy in vain."
Zuo Shaoqing didn't give him a chance to laugh, "President Liao, you are so busy, how come you have time to come to my entertainment hall to cause trouble? What do you want to do?"
Liao Fengshan said hurriedly: "No, I'm stupid. I will cause trouble to you, Team Leader Su. It's okay."
Zuo Shaoqing said viciously: "Just wait for me!" He put down the phone with a bang and walked out of the door.
Outside the "revolving door", the debt collectors were still surrounding the gate, shouting from time to time to hand them over. Many passers-by were busy around them.
When Zuo Shaoqing walked out of the door, her face was covered with frost. She glanced at those people and found out who was the leader. She walked straight over, passed through several thugs, and walked directly to that person, her eyes like a cone and like an eagle.
Staring at him, "You are the leader, right? What do you want to do? Take your people and leave!"
The man was already a little timid and insisted: "We are debt collectors, you... have to hand over the girl."
Zuo Shaoqing didn't allow him to say any more. He just punched him in the face. Fighters have the habit of guarding against being beaten. The man hurriedly raised his hand to block it. But Zuo Shaoqing's punch was empty. He changed his palm halfway and caught it.
With just a twist of his wrist, the man screamed and bent down. Zuo Shaoqing controlled him with only one hand, dragging him toward the door, staring with murderous intent in his eyes.
He looked at the thugs nearby. None of those people dared to step forward.
Zuo Shaoqing dragged the man into the gate, dragged him to the counter, and shouted: "Answer the phone!"
The leading man had Zuo Shaoqing twisting his wrist and bending his waist, so he couldn't move. The waiter next to him understood and quickly picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
The man reluctantly said "Ah" into the microphone.
Liao Fengshan asked on the phone: "That girl went in?"
"Yes, yes." He wanted to say one more thing, but didn't dare.
Liao Fengshan snorted and said, "Hurry up and apologize and leave." After saying that, he put down the phone.
The man reluctantly raised his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's just leave. Just leave."
Zuo Shaoqing took the call, hung up, and let go of his hand. The man ran out as if he had received an amnesty.
Sitting in the car under the shadow of the trees outside the door, Yunfa and You Shaoqing witnessed the whole process and the leader escaping from the "revolving door" like a rabbit. They did not dare to say anything more, leading the thugs with him.
They left in despair.
Cheng Yunfa muttered, "Aren't you? She is simply a bandit, even more barbaric than a bandit."
You Shaoqing said nothing. She felt that if she had been in that situation, she might not be as ruthless as her sister. Her sister really surprised her.
Cheng Yun asked: "You said, that girl should have been left behind."
You Shaoqing nodded, "But, what role can such a hairy girl play? I won't come out."
Cheng Yunfa had considered using this little girl as a hidden stake. The "revolving door" was Zuo Shaoqing's territory. If he sent his own people in, he would most likely be recognized. Not only would it fail to monitor Zuo Shaoqing,
It would also cause her to fight back, which might cause him trouble. She might even set a trap for him, and he would suffer a big loss. Sending such a little girl in would never arouse others' suspicion. She wanted to
To pay off her mother's debt, if she wanted to avoid being sold into a brothel, she had to do what he said.
However, it is a trivial matter in the world. What Cheng Yunfa never expected was that when he finally died at the hands of Ye Gongjin, this little girl played a key role. What Cheng Yunfa never expected was that this little girl happened to be doing it in the "revolving door"
Hidden stakes, just heard a few key words.
If Cheng Yunfa knew the consequences, he would not look for this little girl even if he was killed. This is exactly what I said before, great things are ruined by details, and emperors are killed by small pawns. With all the beings in the world, how can you know who is your nemesis?
