Looking at the mess all over the restaurant, Robin Hood was also a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said to Boss Li: "I'm sorry for making this place a mess. Let's do this. You can estimate the price. I'll take care of these broken things."
I’ll compensate you!”
Boss Li wiped the blood on his face with a tissue and quickly said to Robin Hood: "Brother, what are you talking about? No matter what, you helped me get rid of these gangsters. It's not too late for me to thank you. How could you let me
Are you paying for it? I'm really sorry for interrupting your meal just now. Let's do this. I'll tell the chef to prepare another table. I'd like to treat my brothers to a drink and let's sit down and have a good chat!"
Robin Hood was also very happy and covered his stomach with his hands: "Very good! Anyway, I'm hungry now. I wasn't full just now, and I spent so much energy!"
Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and scolded: "You are so embarrassed!"
The waiter simply cleaned up the mess on the floor, and the chef quickly prepared a table of food, which was not particularly rich, but definitely exquisite.
Boss Li invited Robin Hood and Yang Xiaoxiao to sit down, and then poured Robin Hood a glass of Wuliangye: "Brother, please!"
After a brief conversation, Robin Hood learned that the owner's name was Li Ming, an overseas Chinese from Guangdong. When he was a teenager, he followed his father to the Philippines to do business and has opened a restaurant for nearly 20 years.
Hearing that Robin Hood and the others also came from Guangdong, Li Ming was very happy: "We are half fellow villagers. We are very happy to see each other today!"
The two of them exchanged cups, and soon the bottom of the glass of Wuliangye was gone.
Robin Hood asked Li Ming: "Who were those gangsters just now? Do they often come to blackmail you?"
"Hey!" Li Ming sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Actually, I'm not spineless, and I don't want to cry like this and sue my grandma and beg them. It's just that these speedster gangs are too powerful in Manila.
I...I am a commoner with a flat head and no big background. I really can't afford to offend them!" At this point, Li Ming felt ashamed. He picked up the wine glass and swallowed the white wine in the glass in one gulp. His throat was burning.
He said: "I'm sorry, I have embarrassed the Chinese people!"
After hearing what Li Ming said, Robin Hood thought of the behavior of the police just now and couldn't help but ask: "What are the origins of those speeding gangs? Why are even the police afraid of them?"
Li Ming said: "The Biker Party is the largest gang entrenched in Manila, and it is said that its gang has tens of thousands of members. The Biker Party emerged ten years ago. At that time, it was just a small group of young people riding motorcycles in the streets and alleys.
, committed crimes randomly and were lawless. Later, this small group of people slowly grew and grew. Nowadays, the speedsters are involved in basically all walks of life in Manila. It is said that they have also monopolized the drug market in Manila. The one who took the lead just now is called
Canglang, his brother Kuangshi is the boss of the Speeding Motorcycle Party. But compared to Kuangshi, Canglang is far behind. He idles around every day, misbehaves outside and engages in extortion and extortion in the name of the Speeding Motorcycle Party!
The businessmen in our area have suffered greatly, but due to the powerful power of the Speeder Party, we can only swallow our anger and dare not fall out with them!"
"Are you willing to be bullied by them like this?" Robin Hood asked.
Li Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What can I do if I don't give in? Last time, after a shop across the street was extorted, there was a conflict with the motorcycle gang. As a result, the shop was set on fire that night! And it was completely burned down!
A boss was not threatened by a motorcycle gang, but within three days, his body was dumped on the street. In such a situation, who would dare to go against the motorcycle gang?"
Yang Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "I have long heard that social security in the Philippines is very bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad!"
"Fuck!" Robin Hood became angry after hearing this, and slapped the table and said: "Does the police department turn a blind eye to such evil deeds as the Speeder Gang?"
"Haha!" Li Ming smiled sarcastically: "The Philippine police are the most incompetent police in the world, famous for their extremely low response ability and efficiency in solving crimes. Have you heard of the Manila hostage incident that shocked the world?
?A Hong Kong compatriot was kidnapped by a criminal in Manila. After the kidnapper made a request, the Philippine police management refused on the spot and arrested the kidnapper's brother, which caused the kidnapper to become nervous. In the subsequent raids, human police officers were created
It is a miracle in history that in the face of a lone gangster, the police raided for more than an hour and ended up killing 8 hostages. How imbecile they were. Furthermore, policemen like these are more or less related to local gangs.
Close contact, a family of policemen and robbers, a nest of snakes and rats. Instead of expecting these policemen to eliminate violence and bring peace to us, we might as well expect Jesus to be resurrected!"
Li Ming's words were full of sarcasm, but the words were filled with the sadness and helplessness of an overseas Chinese.
After a pause, Li Ming took a sip of white wine and continued: "In addition to the beautiful title of New York of Asia, Manila also has another title that is also famous around the world - the City of Sin, also known as the Kidnapping City. This is not because
Manila's economic prosperity is due to the extremely incompetent quality of the Philippine police and the contradictions caused by multiple ethnic groups living together in one area.
The recognized Chinese in the Philippines account for about 1%-2% of the total population, and these 2% of the population have more wealth than everyone else combined. Chinese factories account for 50% of the country, so the Chinese are very wealthy here.
, and Chinese people are often targeted by criminals for kidnapping. Moreover, because of the gap between rich and poor, Filipino locals are very hateful and jealous of Chinese people.
The number of crimes recorded in Manila each year exceeds 10,000, and the number of kidnappings exceeds 200. Including unrecorded numbers, people are kidnapped and murdered in Manila basically every day. The City of Crime deserves its title. Manila
The kidnappers have had a bad influence in the world. Every year, foreign tourists are kidnapped and killed in Manila. The society is very unstable! Hey, I don’t know that you, a young couple, are so good at not going to Europe or Japan and South Korea.
What are you doing in a ghost place like the Philippines?"
After listening to Li Ming's story, Robin Hood still felt a little heavy. The Chinese here are oppressed and bullied by Filipino gangs every day, extorted, extorted, kidnapped, and killed. They live a life of fear. If I hadn't taken action today,
Help, Boss Li’s income that he has worked so hard for for more than half a month will be taken away again.
Li Ming patted Robin Hood on the shoulder and said: "Brother, you are a good person! I would like to advise you to go back to the hotel as soon as possible, and then leave Manila as soon as possible, leave the Philippines, and go back to China. Today you have humiliated the Canglang and the Speeder Gang.
They will definitely not give up, and they will come to your door sooner or later. If my store is destroyed, it will be destroyed, but I don’t want to see anything happen to you! Do you understand?"
Robin Hood suddenly felt a little guilty. After listening to Li Ming's words, he realized the seriousness of the matter. Unexpectedly, his brave actions brought greater disaster to Li Ming.
"Boss Li, I'm sorry, I...did I help the wrong person?" Robin Hood said with some guilt.
"No! No! No!" Li Ming waved his hands repeatedly and said: "You are the hero of our Chinese people. I have long disliked that wolf. Chinese people in this area have been bullied by him a lot. Thank you for your support.
We Chinese are so angry! What a relief!"
After two glasses of white wine, the roar of a motor suddenly came from outside the restaurant.
The bright car lights shine in from outside, making people unable to open their eyes.
"It's not good! It's not good!" The two waiters rolled around and ran back to the store in a panic. They stammered to Li Ming: "Boss, there are speeding gangs... there are a lot of speeding gangs outside.
people……"
"What?!" Li Ming's expression changed drastically, and he turned to look out the door.
The car lights outside were dazzling, reflecting the light like daylight, the roar of the engine was deafening, and about a hundred figures could be vaguely seen wandering in front of the restaurant.
"Close the door! Close the door quickly!" Li Ming shouted anxiously.
The two waiters were frightened. Li Ming shouted three times before they reacted and ran to close the door.
Li Ming turned around and pulled Robin Hood: "Brother, the speedsters are here to take revenge. I didn't expect them to come so fast! There are many people coming. You should leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late. They will beat you to death!"
Robin Hood looked angrily at the arrogant speedsters outside the restaurant, "If we leave, won't your restaurant be doomed?"
"Hey!" Li Ming rubbed his hands and said, "If it's over, it's over. It doesn't matter if the restaurant closes, but you are my Li Ming's great benefactor. I can't let you die here. Even if I don't want this restaurant, I still want it.
Let you leave alive!"
Seeing Li Ming's firm look, Robin Hood felt a little moved in his heart, and his view of Li Ming had a profound change. This man who seemed like a weakling was actually a man of love and righteousness. Put another way.
, in order to survive, he is able to make concessions to his enemies. This kind of magnanimity is not possessed by ordinary people.
Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at Robin Hood: "Let's go, listen to Boss Li, there are too many of them, and we don't have any hot weapons. We can't go head-to-head with them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two explosions were heard, and two Molotov cocktails shattered the floor-to-ceiling windows and were thrown in from the outside. There was gasoline spilled on the ground just now, and after the Molotov cocktails fell to the ground and shattered, they immediately ignited the fire on the ground.
Gasoline flames suddenly burst into flames, spreading rapidly along the oil stains on the ground, and the restaurant was suddenly engulfed in a sea of flames.
"Bastard!" Veins popped up on Robin Hood's forehead. Facing such a group of lawless thugs, he really wanted to kill all these scum.
The waiter in the store panicked and fled to the back door. Li Ming pulled Robin Hood and Yang Xiaoxiao and asked them to follow him to the back door.
Seeing the restaurant reduced to a sea of flames, the motorcycle gang gangsters outside shouted happily: "Burn them to death! Burn them to death!"
