I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Boss Du, why is it so noisy outside?"

peace restaurant.

Xu Kuan, who didn't sleep well, went downstairs to argue with the boss's wife.

But the boss is helpless about this.

“I stopped the food distribution.”

The food distribution activity has been stopped?

Xu Kuan was surprised, "Why?"

Some things, once you start, you need to stick to them to the end. If you give up halfway, not only will all your efforts be wasted, but you may also be criticized.

Those "refugees" outside have become accustomed to being "fed". If their free rations are suddenly cut off, they will certainly not consider the difficulties of the Peace Hotel, nor will they remember the kindness. They will only feel dissatisfied and, like they are doing now, clamorously protest outside.

Habit is second nature.

Over time, morality will be misinterpreted as duty, which is the bad nature of human beings.

  It is understandable to stop the meat supply, after all, meat resources... are relatively scarce. But distributing some porridge and steamed buns should not be a big deal for a large and powerful Peace Hotel, right?

"Mr. Xu doesn't know?"

"what do you know?"

"The allied forces have blocked Xifengling and Wolonggang, and no one is allowed to pass through. The passage for transporting food from outside is blocked. If we continue to provide them with aid, I'm afraid my guests will starve."

"Xifengling and Wolonggang are closed. Is there no other way?" Xu Kuan asked.

"Yes. But it will be much more time-consuming and laborious. Before, the hotel's food used to go through these two passages. Now I have to re-plan the route and go in from other forces' territories. I don't know how long it will take. So currently the hotel's food reserves can only be provided to our own people."

Xu Kuan nodded, understood, and expressed his understanding.

"Then you should go out and explain. It's useless for them to make trouble with you. You can only blame the allied forces."

Du Enqin sneered, "If they dared to cause trouble for the Allied Forces, they wouldn't come here to beg for food. Alas, it's because the Peace Hotel is a soft persimmon."

Xu Kuan looked at her strangely, and then thought of the cellar under his feet that was dark without seeing the sun. He couldn't help but worry about the refugees making trouble outside.

It’s better to keep quiet.

This really pissed off the boss lady.

I'm afraid I'll have to have more food.

"Mr. Xu, what does Master Jin want to do? Doesn't Xu Nandao want it anymore?"

Du Enqin was curious and puzzled, "Sending a large number of troops to block Xifeng Ridge and Wolonggang without advancing even a single step, isn't this giving Xunan Road to Wei Yi? I really can't understand why two large armies just sit there and watch the officers of Xunan Road being madly ravaged by Wei Yi."

Du Enqin's information is actually not comprehensive enough and still has some shortcomings.

It's more than just staying out of it.

It would have been bad enough if they didn't help, but they even helped to attack their own people.

"Boss Du really can't understand?"

Du Enqin's eyes were full of confusion.

"I don't know if it's right or not. This is just my personal opinion. I think Lord Jin's move was quite clever. Although he lost some territory, he successfully regained the initiative. As long as the two natural passes of Xifengling and Wolonggang are firmly locked, the Xunan Road will become a dead water. No matter how much Wei Yi struggles, he is just a fish struggling in dead water."

Du Enqin frowned, thinking about something.

"Isn't Wei Yi in danger?"

"Not really."

Xu Kuan smiled and said, "Once the fish in the stagnant water jumps through the gate, they can roam freely in the vast ocean."

"Both Wolonggang and Xifengling are high and dangerous passes, and the allied forces will definitely build fortifications with all their strength, and add long guns and heavy artillery. I'm afraid this gate will be difficult to break through."

Du Enqin said slowly.

"Didn't Boss Du say that he and Wei Yi were just casual friends? A friend in need is a friend indeed."

Xu Kuan's eyes were filled with smile.

Du Enqin said naturally without any hesitation: "Aren't we all serving the people now?"

Xu Kuan was speechless.

"Wrong. It's for Mr. Jiang's service."

Du Enqin corrected with a smile.

What a great double entendre.

Xu Kuan nodded and looked towards the hotel door, "It's actually not that hard to work with Mr. Jiang. You just need to do your job and everything will go well."

Du Enqin seemed to have understood something and pretended to say, "Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice."

If everyone does their part well and every screw plays its role without problem, won't the train naturally roll forward?

So there is no need to worry about others.

"Mr. Xu, I will go and deal with my problem then."

"Do you need help?"

"Need not."

Rejecting Xu Kuan's kindness, Du Enqin walked out of the hotel.

"Boss Du! Boss Du is out!"

"Boss Du, why aren't you distributing food?"

"We need to survive!"

Many people cheered.

How damn righteous.

Du Enqin's appearance did not stabilize the situation, but instead made the crowd even more agitated.

ho.

There are so many people.

At first glance, it was crowded.

I'm afraid there are about three or four hundred people.

No wonder Duenchen stopped the relief.

The previous grain transportation channels have been cut off. Before new channels are reopened, it is really unaffordable to feed so many mouths relying solely on reserves.

And there's another problem.

Helping is a matter of affection, not helping is a duty.

With hands and feet, how could he starve to death?

At worst, there is still a way to commit a crime.

He himself is not a good citizen.

  Do I owe you anything?

of course.

Such words are certainly refreshing, but as an entrepreneur and a businessperson, Du Enqin would definitely not shout them out in public. She followed Xu Kuan's advice and pushed the blame onto the Allied Forces. Holding the loudspeaker, she said calmly and calmly: "Because the war is getting more and more intense, the Allied Forces have blocked the Xunan Road, and my food can't be transported in. Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm powerless. The Allied Forces have cut off the food supply, not to mention you, even I'm afraid I'll have to be prepared to starve in the future."

Upstairs in the hotel.

Boss Jiang, wrapped in a bathrobe, stood in front of the window, his golden belt giving off a strong aura of nouveau riche, watching the lady boss downstairs giving a speech.

Next to him is Pei Yunxi.

Her cloud-like hair flows naturally and slides over her shoulders.

Silk pajamas are airy and cool.

I guess he was woken up by the noise outside.

These refugees are really disturbing my sleep.

"You're lying! There are so many restaurants in the Peace Hotel, there must be a way!"

Du Enqin's explanation was not accepted, and ridiculous shouts continued.

"Yes! You must have hidden some food. If you dare, let us go into the granary and take a look!"

poor person must have something mean.

What qualifications do you have to wave your fist?

Du Enqin was not angry and was still giving advice sincerely, but her tone inevitably became a little heavier.

"Everyone, I run a restaurant, not a charity or a relief station. For so many days, I have been distributing food for free. This is not something I have to do, nor is it my responsibility. Now the situation has changed, and I really can't support it any longer. If you want to find a way to survive, you can go to the front line and join the army. I believe you won't have to worry about going hungry there."

"Go to the front line? Do you want us to die?"

If they had that much courage, these people would not stay here begging for food. Their fists were raised one after another, and their shouts were getting louder and louder.

"We want to eat!"

What a wonder of the world.

He didn't have the courage to go to the battlefield, but he had the guts to bully a weak woman.

This scene at the hotel entrance vividly illustrates what it means when good people are bullied.

"No wonder there is no ability to resist risks. These people are not lazy, they are stupid."

Boss Jiang, who was watching the fire from afar from his high position, made a sharp comment.

  The outbreak of war and soaring prices are indeed a tragic and unfortunate thing, but why are some people able to withstand fluctuations while others can't make ends meet immediately?

At this time, I really need to find my own reasons.

"Why mess with a woman when you can mess with anyone else?"

After hearing this, Pei Yunxi finally understood the main point he wanted to express.

It turned out that I was not indignant for Du Enqin, but rather felt pity and sympathy for these refugees.

indeed.

  Who is Du Enqin?

Being able to survive in this place where people eat each other and live well, can it be considered a kind heart of a bodhisattva?

"I have a feeling that someone will suffer a bloody disaster today."

Boss Jiang, with his bathrobe open on his chest, was talking to himself, muttering to himself.

downstairs.

Faced with the unyielding refugees, Du Enqin's expression did change, but not much.

How could a person who does great things get angry with a bunch of lackeys?

"I am doing business. If you want to come in and spend money, I welcome you. But if you want to cause trouble, I'm sorry, the Peace Hotel is not a place where anyone can go wild."

She suppressed the amiable expression on her face, showing no sadness or joy. However, Xu Kuan, who had been observing the development of the situation in the lobby and had not left, had already begun counting down for the ungrateful rabble outside.

He had seen the dark space under the hotel with his own eyes.

Some people really deserve to die.

Regrettably.

The refugees could not hear the countdown in Xu Kuan's heart. Du Enqin's combination of kindness and force did not work. Instead, it angered these refugees who were probably too hungry.

"Look, there is indeed food, but they are reluctant to give it to us!"

The story of the farmer and the snake seems to be repeated all the time in this land.

Under the commotion, hundreds of refugees could no longer hold back and began to rush forward.

Among the crowded crowd.

A few men were different from the others. They were exceptionally quiet, just staring at the gate of the Peace Hotel with cold and dangerous eyes.

Things developed just as they expected.

The refugees became agitated, and were involuntarily swept forward.

"Don't worry, wait until the target shows up, he will be in the hotel."

One person whispered, conveying instructions to his companions around him through the invisible headset in his ear.

"receive."

"receive."

Du Enqin is definitely not the "target" they are talking about.

"Hand over the food!"

Relying on their large numbers, the refugees were unwilling to just beg for food, and their ambitions grew, so they planned to start robbing.

"Everyone stop!"

The soldiers at the door stepped forward, raised their guns, pulled the bolts in unison, and loaded bullets.

The sound of the bolt being pulled was definitely more effective than Du Enqin's exhortation, and the surging wave of people stagnated slightly.

Begging for food or life.

this is a problem.

Hunger is terrible.

But being beaten to death seems even more miserable.

"Don't be afraid, they don't dare to shoot, let's charge!"

With hundreds of people, it is inevitable that there will be some reckless people who do not care about the consequences. Moreover, there are only eight guards on duty at the entrance of the hotel. Eight guns facing three or four hundred people are obviously not enough to deter.

There are some classic last words left by a mafia boss in the Western world.

In a nutshell: submachine guns are not as good as heavy machine guns.

"Don't worry, let them rush!"

Assassination.

What is needed is patience.

There is no need to rush.

If these refugees really rushed into the hotel, they could take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters. If the Peace Hotel abandoned its own reputation and started killing people, then with the people in front of them acting as guns, they could slip away quietly and wait for the next opportunity.

It seems that this guy should be the leader and he is quite smart.

The refugees, their emotions aroused, actually began to risk their lives and charge forward.

The guy with the headset didn't move, but watched the situation develop closely. At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at his accomplices.

If you don't glance, it's fine. If you glance, you'll be startled.

The leader of this action was missing, probably because he was dispersed by the crowd.

"Xia, Xia!"

That's right.

In this operation, he and the others only played a supporting role.

"I'm here."

A reply came from the headset.

In the chaos, there was no need to confirm the other party's position. He just reminded: "Don't move forward yet, ensure your own safety."

There was no response from the headset.

Seeing the refugees rushing towards him with ferocious looks and getting closer and closer, Du Enqin did not move and took off the mask on his face.

It is not easy to build the Peace Hotel’s famous brand, but since someone is seeking death, we have no choice but to oblige him.

If we just kill all these people, the news won't leak out and the hotel's reputation won't be affected.

"boom!"

At the critical moment.

Gunshots were heard.

Not the guards, but the rioting refugees.

Not everyone heard the gunshot, but the blood that spurted from Du Enqin's arm lit up everyone's pupils.

Du Enqin was indeed extraordinary. She was shot but didn't make a sound, just frowned slightly.

The eight soldiers were startled, then clenched their gun handles with both hands, facing the group of refugees with murderous eyes.

"Fuck! Who fired the gun?"

The guy with the headset was so furious that he even spoke in his native language. This shot obviously completely ruined his plan.

No one dared to answer the headset.

Somewhere in the crowd, a young man wearing a hooded sweatshirt covering his head slowly lowered his arms, which were shaking uncontrollably. His left hand was wearing a glove, and his right hand was holding a black pistol with a silencer on the gun head.

"Get out! Get out quickly!"

An impatient shout came from the headset.

upstairs.

Jiang Chen, who hit the nail on the head, did not seem to expect that his words would really come true. He watched the soldiers shield the injured Du Enqin behind them, and then shifted his gaze to the group of refugees who were at a loss.

There is really going to be a bloody disaster today.

"Da da da da da da da..."

  You want to run after firing a gun?

The soldiers were filled with murderous intent and had no scruples. They pulled the trigger decisively and opened fire at the large number of refugees.

Submachine guns are indeed not as good as heavy machine guns, but that does not stop the refugees from falling one after another.

Courage was gone.

The refugees had no time to grab food. They turned around and ran away, scrambling for the first place.

"puff."

"puff."

"puff."

The soldiers were firing.

But the bullet that came from nowhere was an accurate headshot.

The refugees who tried to escape fell down one after another without a complete body.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

There were dead ends ahead and behind, and the refugees were so scared that they dared not run away. They cried for their parents and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands begging for mercy.

"Fuck!!!"

Someone looked extremely unhappy, and angrily took off his headset and threw it on the ground. He seemed to have a premonition of his own fate, and his whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably. (End of this chapter)
