Chapter Thirty: Initial Display of Strength
Tang Feng's words shocked Old Master Ma once again, not because Tang Feng was so familiar with the recent situation in the store, but because of that sentence "I didn't even put the waste in my eyes". You know, the waste is now the most powerful boss in XA City, and even government officials who hold real power like his uncle don't want to be his enemy. The young man in front of him said he didn't even put the waste in his eyes, how could he not be shocked?
Is this person intentionally boasting? But it doesn't seem like it, if so, why would they dare to come and grab food from the trash's mouth when they clearly know that the trash will eventually get this store? Old Master Ma is very conflicted, if he doesn't sell to this person, then this store will still fall into the trash's hands sooner or later, he can temporarily deal with him for a while, but it won't work in the long run.
If I sell to this person, what if he's just all talk and doesn't have the ability to deal with the waste, then when the waste comes after them, they'll be the ones in trouble. The waste is notorious for being ruthless, cunning, and petty, and since I've already offended him by not selling the store to him, even if I give it to him for free now, he won't let me off the hook in the future. The only way out is to quickly sell the store and take my family to a distant place.
Now there's an opportunity, a gamble, if these people in front of him really have that kind of power, then he can stay here without leaving, not leave the place where he was born and grew up, and even pull them over. After all, someone who doesn't even put trash in their eyes is absolutely a top-notch person in XA. But if these people don't have that kind of power, then he'll end up falling with them under the trash's knife. If he's lucky, he might be found and sent back home before his body rots, but if he's unlucky, he'll die without even leaving a complete corpse.
Should he gamble or not? Ma Lao was in a dilemma. Tang Feng seemed to guess what Ma Lao was thinking, and stopped the increasingly impatient Xu Qiang from speaking, waiting quietly instead.
After a long while, Old Master Ma stubbed out his cigarette butt heavily and stood up, saying loudly: "Damn it, I've been cooped up for a lifetime, this time I'll also gamble once. Younger brother, the store can be sold to you at the price you said, but I hope you can prove your strength to me, so that I can have some confidence in my heart. You're a clever person, and you can also think of what will happen when the useless thing finds out that I'm selling the store to you - he's a ruthless and cunning man! For myself, for my family, I must not be careless!"
Tang Feng burst out laughing and said, "Good, I can see that you're a man of your word too. If not, you would have yielded to the useless person and sold half of the shop by now. Alright, we'll come back in three days. By then, you will witness our strength. I hope that in three days' time, we can smoothly complete the handover procedures."
After shaking hands with Old Horse, Tang Feng and his two friends left Slow Shake Bar.
After returning to the hotel, Tang Feng went straight to Guan Zhiyong's room.
"Boss, how's it going?" Guan Zhiyong asked after everyone had sat down.
"Hehe, it's already half successful, as for whether it can be fully successful or not depends on you." Tang Feng said, looking deeply at Guan Zhiyong.
Years of collaboration are not a joke, when Tang Feng looked at himself, Guan Zhiyong already knew that he had another task.
"The target is who and what are the requirements." Gu Zhiyong said solemnly.
"Get rid of the trash and bring back his head." Tang Feng said slowly after taking a drag on his cigarette.
Wang Sheng looked at Tang Feng and Guan Zhiyong's tacit cooperation, and suddenly felt a little lost in his heart. He also hoped that he could truly integrate into the three of them. But after hearing Tang Feng's words, he was surprised to ask: "What? Boss, what's going on? Are you trying to let Master Ma know our strength through this method? But didn't you say yesterday that we can't be too showy at first, so as not to create more enemies?"
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Yesterday I indeed thought so, but at that time we didn't plan to buy this store. Now I've changed my mind, Old Master Ma is right, no matter whether we end up buying this store or not, with the personality of the waste material, they will definitely cause us trouble. By then, we'll be too passive. If we take them by surprise and get rid of their boss when they're not on guard, it will create chaos in the south district, which is a great opportunity for us to muddy the waters. At the same time, it will also make our name known, and with fame, younger brothers will naturally come looking for us."
Wang Sheng nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "But if we do this, won't the old conferences of the other districts unite to cause us trouble? You've also said that in their eyes, we're outsiders, and they won't let outsiders develop power under their noses."
Tang Feng glanced at Guan Zhiyong and said, "It's time to look at the dagger. In a one-on-one situation, killing him doesn't count as a skill, but if it's in his headquarters or when he has many younger brothers around him, then the situation is different. I think the big bosses of other districts won't make any rash moves before they understand our strength."
"Boss, watch me. Give me two days and I'll bring back his head to see you." After finishing speaking, he picked up his coat, opened the door and walked out.
"Isn't this a bit too risky? Although he's skilled with a dagger, can one person take down the big boss when they have many underlings?"
After hearing Wang Sheng's words, Tang Feng didn't say anything, he just smiled confidently. It was Xu Qiang who was sitting aside eating fruit who said: "Right hand, don't worry about it, the dagger isn't called for nothing, just wait and see."
Over the next two days, Tang Feng and others went shopping for furniture on the street. They finally filled up their new home, of course, all of these were chosen by Yin Fei, and Tang Feng was only responsible for paying the bill. Now they just have to wait for Guan Zhiyong to come back before they can move in.
On the third day, early in the morning, Guan Zhiyong returned, still holding a black plastic bag for garbage, but his face looked unusually pale. When he took off his upper garment, several people were shocked to see that Guan Zhiyong's upper body was almost entirely wrapped in white gauze, with some red blood seeping through the gauze.
Yinfei was startled and covered her mouth, saying: "Dage, you, what's wrong with you? What's going on? Didn't brother say you went out to take care of something?"
Guan Zhiyong smiled at Yin Fei and said, "Little girl, brother is fine, don't worry." Then he turned to Xu Qiang and said, "Left hand, go get me some hemostatic medicine. Dammit, when I went out, I only remembered to buy gauze but forgot to buy medicine. If this bleeding doesn't stop, I'll probably die from blood loss instead of being hacked to death."
Guo Zhiyong had thought that this time he would definitely get injured and had prepared some emergency measures in advance, but he only bought gauze and forgot to buy medicine.
Xu Qiang's eyes were red as he put on his clothes, saying: "Damn it, did that kid chop you up like this? I'm going to wipe out his whole family. Wait for me, I'll go buy some medicine, hang in there."
"Damn it, hurry up and go, I'm not going to die yet, but if you say a few more useless words, I'll be done for."
"Boss, mission accomplished," said Guan Zhongyong, kicking the black trash bag at his feet.
Tang Feng nodded and said: "Ciqiang, are you alright?"
"Haha, it's nothing. Don't you know that others don't know about your body? Which previous injury wasn't more serious than this one?" Guan Zhiyong said with a smile.
Xu Qiang returned, Yin Fei stopped Tang Feng and others, in her words: "You are all clumsy, you will hurt Brother Ci's knife, let me do it." But she didn't know that Tang Feng and others' treatment level for these external injuries was absolutely not inferior to some ordinary doctors, this was their lifesaving capital.
Because Yinfei was there, no one opened the trash bag. After Guan Zhiyong fell asleep like a mummy wrapped by Yinfei, Tang Feng took Wang Sheng to his first business venture. Xu Qiang was left behind to protect Guan Zhiyong and Yinfei. Although with Guan Zhiyong's experience, he would never leave any clues for the enemy, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
