20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 246: Keep up the good work [Additional update 4]

When the gunfire rang out, Wang Zhengnan jumped to the ground.

In the flash of lightning, bullets were crackling in the alley, and some people were wailing in response, but they didn't know whether they had been shot or were too frightened.

The moment Jiang Lianheng saw the figure, he immediately crouched down and used skin and bones as a cover under the wall while raising his hand and gun to fight back.

Helplessly, the crazy woman at his feet kept hugging his thigh, interfering with the shooting aim.

Gunfire flickered and roared in the dark alley.

The two sides exchanged fire for a while. When the two figures saw Jiang Lianheng with a gun close to him, they did not want to fight. They hastily fired a bunch of bullets and immediately escaped from the entrance of the alley.

"Fuck you, stand there!"

Jiang Lianheng yelled and started to chase after him, but he tripped and fell to the ground.

Looking down, he saw that it was still the crazy woman. She was still hugging his right leg as if she didn't want her life. However, her whining and begging for mercy just now turned into cruelty and violence in an instant.

But he saw her baring her black teeth, biting down on Jiang Lianheng's thigh, and reaching out her right hand to snatch the money bag from his waist.

"Fuck you, court death!"

Without saying a word, Jiang Lianheng pointed his gun at the crazy woman's Tianling Gai and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

But with a "bang", the brain exploded and blood covered the ground.

Jiang Lianheng quickly pulled out his right leg and hurriedly chased him to the entrance of the alley. He was not in a hurry to poke his head out, but stayed close to the corner and glanced at the floating moon shadow on the ground. Seeing that there was nothing fishy, ​​he stepped out sideways.

Looking forward along the platform of Laoye Pavilion, except for the movement of wind and grass, the street was empty, and the two figures just now had disappeared.

"Nanfeng!" Jiang Lian kept his eyes straight, still staring at the street, and just pushed the flesh ball on the ground with his hand, "Are you dead?"

Wang Zhengnan struggled to get up from the ground, put his hands behind his back, and groped for a long time on his back. As a result, except for a puddle of vomit and filth on his chest, he was not injured at all.

"Fuck? Are you okay? Brother Dao, I'm okay!"

"Is everything okay?"

Jiang Lian turned his head and narrowed his eyes.

"It's really okay!" Wang Zhengnan looked up and down, and even he found it incredible.

Jiang Lianheng nodded, thoughtfully: "It's okay, let's go back!"

"Brother Dao, this road is too dangerous, let's change it!" Wang Zhengnan also took out his pistol and said seriously, "Brother Dao, go first, I'll cover you!"

"Pull him down!" Jiang Lianheng suddenly put away his pistol, dusted himself off, and said nonchalantly, "Come the same way, come back the same way!"

"Isn't this... too risky?"

"Keep your heart in your stomach! Don't worry, it'll be fine."

After all, Wang Zhengnan was good at inquiring and was not very good at swords and guns, so he didn't realize the secret for a while.

After experiencing the bloody storms, Jiang Lianheng's skills have matured, and he immediately noticed the suspicion.

He had been practicing, and he first saw two assassins at the entrance of the alley. They used a pile of smoker's medicine residue as a cover to escape the assassination, which was justifiable.

But Wang Zhengnan had his back to the entrance of the alley, his body was bloated, and he was very close to the two killers. It was too far-fetched to say that he was lucky enough to save his life and that he was still unscathed under the pretext of the protection of gods and Buddhas.

There is only one possibility that makes sense - you didn't even want to kill him!

Although these words have the meaning of contempt for Nanfeng, they are absolutely true.

After hearing this, Wang Zhengnan didn't deny it, but just wondered: "Brother Dao, who could that be, coming here like this when you have nothing to do?"

Jiang Lianheng snorted coldly: "Who else could it be? Qiao Erbai!"

"Brother Dao, if you're a businessman and you make money by being friendly, even if you don't reach an agreement, you don't have to use a knife or a gun, right?"

"I guess he was interrogating me and trying to scare me back."

"Are you sure?" Wang Zhengnan asked.

"Do you think I am a god?" Jiang Lianheng said, "There are so many certain things, they are all guesses."

"Brother Dao, let me tell you, this business is dark and dangerous. How else can I fail?" Halfway through his words, Wang Zhengnan quickly added, "I'm not timid or sick, but... you see , my sister-in-law is still pregnant with the child!"

These words hit Jiang Lianheng's nerves, and his face immediately darkened.

"Are you here to tell me about retribution?"

"No, no!" Wang Zhengnan quickly raised his hand to explain, "I don't mean that, I really don't!"

Jiang Lianheng snorted coldly: "If there was really retribution, would the world be like this? The foreigners would have died long ago!"

"Yes, yes! Brother Dao, don't think too much, I will just talk about it." Wang Zhengnan promised never to talk about it again, "Brother Dao, as long as it is something you have decided, I will do whatever you ask me to do! "

There is no doubt about Si Fengkou's loyalty. They all grew up together.

Jiang Lianheng suddenly stopped, patted Wang Zhengnan on the shoulder, and said: "Nanfeng, remember this! I won't do this business unless I say I don't want to do it; I can't say that Qiao Er won't let me do it. Just don’t do it. Do you understand?”

When Wang Zhengnan saw this, he understood that Brother Dao had regained his long-lost arrogance, and immediately responded: "Understood! You can't agree on business, but you can't lose face!"

This is not about pretending to be fat or trying to show off. Jiang Lianheng knew deep in his heart that this was the first time that he had to challenge himself alone, running around and negotiating business, and it was at Yingkou, a waterway wharf where news was abound. Once he broke his name here, his name would no longer work. It will only make it more difficult to move forward.

…………

It was already midnight when we returned to the hotel.

Jiang Lianheng immediately woke up Zhao Guoyan and Liu Yansheng to discuss it together.

Wang Zhengnan took off his coat and washed it repeatedly in the copper basin. He would smell it from time to time, frown, and then add soap locust and rub it vigorously.

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Lianheng urged impatiently, "You'll fucking leak out of your clothes later."

"It's so disgusting!" Wang Zhengnan muttered to himself, "It's so disgusting, vomit..."

"If it doesn't work, I'll just buy another one tomorrow. It's not like you don't have money."

"That can't harm things! My sister-in-law bought this for me last year!"

Jiang Lianheng ignored it and allowed Nanfeng to compete with him.

After Zhao Guoyan and Liu Yansheng heard what happened in Laoye Pavilion, they were still frightened and couldn't help but advise: "Brother Dao, if you go out again in the middle of the night, be sure to call us together. If something happens, what should we do?"

"It's useless to call you." Jiang Lianheng said, "We haven't even figured out the doorway here. If a person suddenly appears out of nowhere, if we want to chase him, we might lose him first. What's more, the tiger can't suppress it. Local snake."

Liu Yan tutted and said, "This Mr. Qiao is too dishonorable to talk about business. We haven't done anything wrong to him, so why do we need to make such a show?"

Zhao Guoyan nodded: "Anyway, when I was following my feet, I thought this guy was quite impressive."

Liu Yansheng said again: "It's against the rules of the world!"

Zhao Guoyan echoed: "Who says it's not the case! If you come here for no reason, even if the business is concluded, people will laugh if it gets out."

The two of them said something to each other, and the more they spoke, the more resentful they became.

Jiang Lianheng listened silently for a while, then suddenly turned his head and told Nanfeng: "When I find a new place tomorrow, I will send a telegram to your sister-in-law and tell her that the situation in Yingkou is slow and I won't be able to come back for another ten and a half months. Went. If anything happens at home, let her write at any time."

"Hey, okay!" Wang Zhengnan responded and continued to wash his coat.

Zhao Guoyan asked again: "Brother Dao, is that Dongyang Hongwan really that powerful?"

"It can turn people into ghosts, do you think it's powerful?" Jiang Lianheng murmured to himself, "I'm telling you, the little devil definitely has no good intentions."

"What about profits?" Liu Yansheng asked.

"You definitely don't have to worry about profits." Jiang Lianheng remembered the situation in Laoye Pavilion, "Just those people, if you give them a red pill, they dare to kill people on the street, and they can do anything."

Even though they have never seen it with their own eyes, Zhao Guoyan and Liu Yansheng know that Jiang Lianheng is not a person who likes to be pretentious or exaggerated, so they can use their imagination to imagine the miserable situation of those smokers and drug addicts.

Everyone couldn't help but show disgust towards Oriental Red Pills, but at the same time they were salivating over the profits.

And, there seems to be no contradiction between the two.

It seems that as long as you can't see it, you won't be bothered by it.

The most important thing is that the anti-smoking policy in the provincial capital is too strong now. Unless you work as a dog for the Japanese in the affiliated areas, it is impossible to have large quantities of local goods.

Moreover, the Jiang family has no other properties that can replace this lucrative but immoral profit.

Jiang Lianheng thought for a moment and finally said: "The most important thing right now is to know what Qiao Er has in mind. Is it not possible to talk about it at all, or is it just a play that needs to be tested in court?" Test me."

Zhao Guoyan slapped his thigh and volunteered, "I'll spend another day with him tomorrow."

"I'm afraid not." Liu Yansheng shook his head, "Now that we have made a clear call, we are still on the ground, and we don't know who is following whom! Besides, Qiao Er must be alert, he is so low-key in the first place. If you want to find out the information, I’m afraid it will be even harder.”

"Brother Dao!" Wang Zhengnan interrupted unexpectedly, "Do you know how much a pound of pork costs now?"

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and looked at Nanfeng with strange eyes.

"Nanfeng, are you okay?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

"Ah? It's okay, it's okay." Wang Zhengnan smiled awkwardly, "I just saw a lot of pigs for sale in the market today, so I asked out of curiosity."

The three of them cursed secretly and immediately returned to the topic.

Zhao Guoyan asked in a low voice: "Brother Dao, what should we do now?"

Liu Yansheng suggested: "Since something like this happened tonight, how about we go directly to Qiao Sheng's house tomorrow and ask him again? He won't use a knife or a gun in front of his house, right?"

"Getting straight to the point is indeed the most direct way." Jiang Lianheng nodded, "However, I have to find out his background."

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." The two shook their heads repeatedly, "You can't become a roundworm in his stomach, right?"

"That's not necessary. I have a candidate who I think I can try."

The two of them asked in unison: "Who is it?"

"Under the bed!"
