A man from Da Mao's gang was hit with a stick on the head, and blood flowed down his neck. He covered the bleeding area with his hand and struggled to break away from the crowd and ran towards where Xu Wen was standing. A man holding a wooden stick
He refused to let him go and chased him with a stick to beat him.
The escaping man received a few more blows on his back and staggered to Xu Wen. Xu Wen looked closely and saw that this man looked familiar. He quickly searched through his memory and immediately remembered the person in front of him.
The person who was beaten was his childhood friend Liu Lei.
Seeing his friend being beaten, Xu Wen had to save him. He took two steps forward, grabbed the attacker's wooden stick, then raised his foot and kicked the person more than three meters away. Then he pulled him up and knocked him down.
Liu Lei, who was on the ground, put him into his car, started the engine and left the scene of the fight.
The car stopped at the entrance of a small clinic. When Liu Lei saw that Xu Wen had saved him, he hugged him happily and shouted:
"Haha, it turns out to be you, Xu Wen. I didn't expect us to meet in this way."
Xu Wen quickly pushed Liu Lei away, fearing that the blood on his body would stain his clothes, and then pushed him into the small clinic and said:
"Okay, okay, let's stop the bleeding first and bandage it before we talk."
Looking at Liu Lei with strange patterns tattooed on his body, a bald head, and sitting on a stool receiving treatment, Xu Wen recalled some things that happened when he was a boy. Liu Lei's home is in a village on Xu Wen's way to school, and the two of them grew up in elementary school.
In the beginning, it was Brother Tie. During the attack on Wang You, Liu Lei was one of the few people other than the brothers of the Xu family.
Liu Lei has been tall since he was a child, has a bold personality, and is righteous. However, he has a shortcoming that he doesn't like to use his brain, so his classmates always like to make fun of him. At that time, there was a particularly naughty child in the class, named
Liu Xing. Liu Xing often came up with some bad ideas to tease Liu Lei. For example, he said to Liu Lei who had just come back from the toilet, the teacher said, tell you to go home immediately and call your parents. Liu Lei hurriedly ran home.
I called my parents, but the teachers and parents came together to severely punish Liu Lei.
One time, a female classmate couldn't find her pencil case. She complained to the teacher. The teacher asked all the students in the class to take out the contents of their schoolbags. As a result, the female classmate's pencil case fell out of Liu Lei's schoolbag. Watching
Liu Lei was about to be accused of being a thief. At this time, Xu Wen stepped forward and proved that it was Liu Xing who stuffed the female classmate's pencil case into Liu Lei's schoolbag.
After school that day, Xu Wen and Liu Lei blocked Liu Xing outside the school and beat him up. Then Xu Wen and Liu Lei were invited by the teacher to be their parents, and they worked together on duty for another week.
From then on, the two became close buddies.
After graduating from junior high school, Xu Wen went to high school and Liu Lei dropped out of school, and the two gradually lost contact. When Xu Wen joined the army, the two lost contact.
"Xu Wen, what are you doing here? You have been missing for more than ten years." After bandaging the wound, Liu Lei took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Wen.
"Just fool around and make money wherever you go." Xu Wen lit a cigarette and the two of them walked to his car together.
"Oh, Xu Wen is awesome. This is like an Audi, and it's an A6L. It looks like he's doing pretty well." Liu Lei patted Xu Wen's hood and said.
"Hey, I borrowed it from a friend. Come on, I'll take you home to rest first."
"No, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. We have to find a place to have a drink and chat."
"Are you okay?" Xu Wen asked, pointing to his bandaged head.
"It's okay. This is a common occurrence for us. If we don't drink some wine, it will be so painful that we can't sleep tonight."
"Okay, I won't care if you drink yourself to death."
"How can you do that? You don't care who cares? Why are we close buddies?"
After three glasses of wine, the two chatted for a while about their childhood, and Xu Wen asked about Liu Lei's current situation.
"Why are you hanging out with that group of people now? I heard that yellow guy said you guys are loan sharks."
"Oh, don't mention Xu Wen." Liu Lei picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip and said:
"As you know, I haven't gone to school since I graduated from junior high school. What can I do without education these days? I've worked at construction sites, as security guards, and as delivery food. To be honest, these jobs are dirty and tiring.
It doesn't make any money.
Fortunately, my parents gave me a good skin, which made me tall and shapely. In addition, with all the tattoos on my body, few people were not afraid when I stood in front of them. So I entered this place.
I worked as a debt collector in a loan sharking company.
There is nothing specific about this job. I just follow around all day, scaring people and telling them to pay them back quickly. It’s really not that often like today. The salary is much higher than that of hard labor.
There was delicious food and drink all day long, so I felt like I was having a pretty good time.
Even when I think about it sometimes, I feel that this is not a long-term solution. When I get older and can’t run anymore, I won’t be able to do it. Oh, no matter what, let’s do it first and then talk about it.”
"Then how come you got together with that guy Wang You?" Xu Wen asked.
"Hahaha." Liu Lei laughed and reached out to pat Xu Wen's shoulder and said:
"It's not what you think, Xu Wen. I followed Da Mao here to control the situation today. Usually in the company, Da Mao and I work together, and he is the leader. We do whatever he asks us to do.
Tonight, the four of us were drinking together when Da Mao suddenly received a call from Wang You, saying that he was being bullied by some children and asked Da Mao to come over and help scare them.
Da Mao heard that it was a few kids and felt that this was a lucrative opportunity. If it was done well, not only could he help Wang You, but he could also blackmail those kids. Otherwise, Da Mao would come up and scare him.
, he wanted to calm people down first and then ask for money. He didn’t want to fight with that group of people at all.”
"Hahaha, it turns out that stealing the chicken is losing the rice." Xu Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That's right. Who knew we would encounter a tough situation? They even set up an ambush, so I would suffer a big loss. If you hadn't saved me, I would have ended up with a broken leg and broken arm. I don't know yet.
How is Brother Da Mao doing now?"
"I think Da Mao and the others won't have much of a problem, but brothers Wang You and Wang Bao will probably suffer a big loss."
"Well, that's about it. We are Brother Hua's people after all, and those people have to save face no matter what. They don't dare to do anything to Da Mao."
"Who is Brother Hua?" Xu Wen asked.
"Brother Hua, don't you know?" Liu Lei looked at Xu Wen with wide eyes and asked.
"I don't know." Xu Wen shook his head.
"Oh, no wonder. If you don't hang out on Zhongjiang Road, you may not really know Brother Hua's name. But..." Liu Lei deliberately kept it secret and didn't say anything.
"But what?"
"You must have heard of Jiang Kai Real Estate, right?"
"Jiang Kai Real Estate?" Xu Wen couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, you have heard of it."
"Are you from Jiangkai Real Estate?"
Liu Lei smiled and shook his head. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them nearby. He lowered his head and whispered:
"The backend boss of our company is Shen Feiyu from Jiangkai Real Estate."
Hearing Liu Lei say the words "Shen Feiyu", Xu Wen suddenly felt that today was not a waste of time. There was indeed some kind of connection between Wang You and Shen Feiyu.
