Chapter Forty-Four: Compensation Fees

  Fierce Wolf Two let out a loud shout, and the little brothers brought by the Eight Great Golden Warriors ran away one by one, faster than rabbits, and instantly disappeared. Fierce Wolf Two naturally didn't bother to settle scores with those small fries, with these eight guys lying on the ground, would he still worry about not being able to make up for today's losses?

  So, the eight big shots in Wei Dong County who had been bullying people for decades were searched one by one by these two fierce wolves and their money was taken away completely. They even called it compensation fees, which is a rule set by Li Ge: if you lose, you have to pay compensation!

  What loss can these short ten minutes cause to your beef noodle shop? Haven't you seen that there are more customers than before? We're not even asking for advertising fees, let alone compensation! Is this still reasonable? Being human requires a conscience!

  Wang Lao Wu had won some money playing mahjong over the past two days, so he had the most cash on him, which meant his losses were also the greatest. Therefore, he naturally detested and resented the unreasonable behavior of the two fierce wolves. He was furious, but what could he do when facing these two unreasonable thugs? Should he call the police to report that Wang Lao Wu was being bullied? The operator at the police station would probably scold him for being crazy and hang up the phone immediately. Who didn't know that in this county town, only Wang Lao Wu had the privilege of bullying others, and who dared to bully him? Moreover, how could he bear to tell others about such a humiliating thing? It was really infuriating!

  They were beaten up badly, and all the money on their bodies was taken away. This was the first Waterloo for the eight golden men of the Black Tiger Gang in Weidong County, and they lost so badly that when they rolled back to tell their boss Tan Haitao about it, this big shot of the underworld in Weidong County did not scold or reprimand his eight golden men at all. Instead, he comforted them with a kind face and emphasized that he would definitely avenge them before sending them away. Only after the eight golden men left the room with a sad face did Tan Haitao's expression become serious, frowning and falling into deep thought.

  Can just the two of them defeat my eight powerful men like this? And they didn't even use much effort! If all the people in this group are as strong as this, then I'm afraid that even if all the brothers in my Black Tiger Gang join forces, we might not be their match. But if I give up now and let them continue to develop, I'm afraid it won't take long before the position of the big boss of Weidong County will no longer be mine. And I also can't explain this to the brothers under me! What method should I use to deal with them?

  Go head-to-head with them? This is obviously a bad idea, even if I were to send out all the Thirteen Taibao and Eight Great Golden Men, I don't think they could handle those people from the Wolf Association. As for those other small-time henchmen, they can only put on a show and intimidate people in normal times, but when it comes down to it, they're completely useless! But what else can I do?

  They didn't extort money from the Eight Great Masters, did they? Can I make something out of this? First, let's get those two stupid wolves in, and then we'll slowly clean up the rest! With that thought, a sinister smile appeared on Tan Haitao's face as he took out his phone and dialed a number.

  "Boss Tan, how did you think of me coming today?" A slightly hoarse male voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Hehe, can't this little rascal even give Director Ma a work report?" Tan Haitao said with an extremely relaxed tone to the person on the other end of the phone, as if they were very familiar with each other.

  "You're done for, you! If the big brother of Weidong County becomes a small-time hoodlum, what will happen to the hundreds of little brothers under your command?" The horse bureau on the other end of the phone also teased in a relaxed tone.

  "I'm telling you, brother, my position as the big brother of Wei Dong County is about to be lost! You must help me out, brother!" Tan Haitao's words suddenly turned to the main topic.

  "What's this all about? On this land of Wei Dong County, who else can threaten your position? Isn't Yang Xiao Tian and his younger brother already under your control?" The person on the other end of the phone, Ma Ju, seemed somewhat perplexed.

  "Brother, this matter is a long story to tell. It's inconvenient over the phone. Why don't we meet at Chuanxiang Building tonight and discuss it in person?" As for Ma Ju opposite him, Tan Haitao was very clear that if he just talked about it on the phone like this, it would definitely not have any effect, and he must be face-to-face to give him some real benefits.

  "Tan boss is really too polite, then tonight at eight o'clock, Chuanxiang Building, see you there!" Ma Ju's heart was even clearer, no matter what Tan Haitao wanted him to do, this benefit would naturally not be absent, so he readily agreed.

  Alas! What am I, a mere pawn in their game of darkness? You people are even more ruthless than we are! After Tan Haitao hung up the phone, he was secretly cursing to himself. However, without these people secretly helping him along the way with green lights, how could he have possibly dominated Weidong County and done countless evil deeds while remaining above the law?

  "Sister-in-law, this is the money we made from selling things on our side today!"

  As mentioned earlier, under everyone's strong demand, these four beef noodle shops were all uniformly managed by Zhang Fugui and his wife. This includes procurement of raw materials, personnel arrangements, and financial transactions, which are all decided by Zhang Fugui and his wife. The person in charge of each branch must hand over the day's sales to them on the same night, so after closing up at night, the two wolves specially ran to the head office to hand over the day's sales to Wang Caixia.

  "How come the business on East Main Street is so good? In just one day, they actually sold over 4,000 yuan? This is even more than our main store's sales for two days!" Wang Caixia asked with some surprise as she counted a thick stack of cash in her hand.

  "Hey, sister-in-law, I'm not kidding you, part of today's sales is compensation from the Black Tiger Gang!" Wolf said with a hint of pride to Wang Caixia.

  "What? Black Tiger Gang's compensation fee? You two even dare to extort money from the Black Tiger Gang?"
