Chapter 19 Late at night in the bar
Tong Dayong saw Chen Lijun acting like this and asked, "Who is he?"
Chen Lijun glanced at the man next to Li Qian again and whispered: "He is the Hong Kong man who was blackmailed by us!"
When Tong Dayong heard this, he was also surprised, "How could it be such a coincidence that I met him here!"
"Brother, didn't you see him at the court hearing?" Tong Xiaogang asked.
"No, he was not present during the trial. It was a public prosecution case, and he did not have to be present. Besides, he originally only got into trouble when he went to visit prostitutes. How could he be embarrassed to appear in public for such a thing?"
Tong Dayong said.
After saying this, Tong Dayong felt uncomfortable in his heart. Looking at the two younger brothers in front of him, he was furious. One pretended to be a joint defense team member to extort money from others, and the other had an affair with someone else's woman. They were nothing!
For a moment, Tong Dayong lost his appetite for food. He picked up the food in the bowl and ended the dinner. He lit a cigarette and smoked depressedly.
After finishing their meal, the three brothers walked out of the restaurant. Tong Xiaogang turned to look at Li Qian from time to time, and Li Qian also gave him secret looks.
The dining place is not far from the Blue Night Bar, just a two- to three-minute walk away. It was already past eight o'clock, the bar was already open for business, and the staff were already doing their jobs.
Because it had just opened, there were not many customers in the bar. The colorful and dim lights shone in the empty bar, giving people confusion and reverie.
On the small stage of the bar, a female singer was singing a lazy song carelessly. Tong Dayong looked up and saw that she was not Amei, she was not as beautiful as Amei, and her voice was not as nice as Amei.
Tong Xiaogang asked the waiter to bring over a dozen beers, and introduced Tong Dayong to the two bar waiters, saying that this was his brother and that he would be free to consume here from now on. The two waiters nodded in understanding.
"Brother, do you want to come to work here? If you want, I can ask them to arrange things for you. Of course, not now, starting from tomorrow."
Tong Dayong thought for a while and said: "Forget it, if you are arranging a job for me, there is no need. It is just such a small bar, it is still a partnership between the two of you, and it is not easy to support several employees.
If it’s voluntary help, I can come over and help when the bar is busy.”
"Well, we won't force you. It's good to run your business well. The bar is usually busier on weekends. If you want to come then, you can come and help. If you don't want to come, forget it." Tong Xiaogang said.
Because his mood was affected when he had just eaten, and he did not see Amei after entering the bar, Tong Dayong felt a little disappointed. He stared at the female singer on the stage in trance without saying a word.
Chen Lijun and Tong Xiaogang were playing dice next to them, completely ignoring what Tong Dayong was thinking. Out of boredom, Tong Dayong had no choice but to pick up his glass and drink slowly.
"Amei won't come to sing tonight?" Tong Dayong couldn't help but ask.
Chen Lijun didn't say anything, so Tong Xiaogang asked: "Amei? Who is Amei?"
"My name is A Bing, but I want to say that my name is Amei. I even told him that he recognized the wrong person, but he just doesn't believe me." Chen Lijun said.
"A Bing? Brother, you also like her? That's the woman Li Jun likes." Tong Xiaogang said with a smile.
"Her name is Amei, and Abing is her changed name. Is she coming tonight?" Tong Dayong asked instead of answering Tong Xiaogang's question.
"Oh, there's this other thing? It seems that the eldest brother met Ah... Bing first. Let's compete fairly. Brother, it's still early. Ah Bing won't come so quickly. She has to run away all night
There are several bars." Tong Xiaogang said.
Hearing what Tong Xiaogang said, Tong Dayong had no choice but to wait with peace of mind, and picked up the beer in front of him to drink.
"Come on, brother, let's play dice together. Whoever loses will drink." Tong Xiaogang said.
In order to make time pass faster, Tong Dayong also participated in the games played by his two younger brothers, but he had bad luck today and always lost, so he always drank.
In the bustling bar, there were more and more guests. The singer had already been replaced on the stage. He was much better than the female singer just now. He also inspired the atmosphere of the scene. He sang a fast song.
Song, some guests were so excited that they walked into the open space and danced.
Suddenly a woman walked into the bar, and Tong Dayong recognized her at a glance as the Li Qian from the restaurant just now.
"Sister Li, are you here?" Tong Xiaogang stood up to greet her and gave Li Qian a hug.
"Who is this handsome guy? He looks a bit like you." Li Qian stared at Tong Dayong and asked as soon as she sat down.
"He is my brother, Tong Dayong." Tong Xiaogang said to Li Qian.
Then, Tong Xiaogang introduced to Tong Dayong: "Brother, this is my girlfriend, Li Qian."
Tong Dayong took a look at Li Qian and saw that she looked charming, with makeup on her face and a pair of bright peach blossom eyes. However, Tong Dayong was not interested in such a woman, she was too frivolous, and she was obviously not interested in her.
What a good thing.
However, out of basic courtesy, Tong Dayong still smiled at him as a greeting.
Li Qian took out a pack of Marlboros from Kun's bag, first handed one to Tong Dayong, then gave one to Tong Xiaogang and Chen Lijun, and finally took one out and lit it for herself.
"Is he the brother you mentioned? Why haven't you seen him before?" Li Qian asked.
"Well, my brother just came from my hometown." Compared with Chen Lijun, Tong Xiaogang is more considerate of Tong Dayong's face.
In fact, it's not that Chen Lijun doesn't know how to deal with things, it's that he deliberately hurt Tong Dayong in front of Amei. The purpose is naturally to make Amei dislike him.
"Come on, Brother Dayong, it's our first time meeting you. Let me toast you!" Li Qian raised her glass and said to Tong Dayong.
Tong Dayong had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, touched it lightly with her, and then took a shallow sip.
"Where did the Hong Kong guy go? He came to Shenzhen and you still dare to come to my place?" Tong Xiaogang asked Li Qian.
"Who knows where he went? He probably went to the hair salon to fool around again." Li Qian exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly.
Tong Dayong sat aside, feeling bored amidst the noise. Looking at the feasting and lazy crowd, he began to hate places like bars again.
He couldn't figure out why Amei would choose to survive in a place like this. Does singing earn a lot of money, or does she really want to be famous and become a star?
The night is getting deeper, but Amei still hasn't come. Even Chen Lijun and Tong Xiaogang feel strange. They promised to come and sing at least two songs every night. It's already late at night, why are they still missing?
"Lijun, will something happen to A Bing? Since she came to our bar to sing, she has come almost every night. What happened today?" Tong Xiaogang asked.
"I don't know either. I called her at noon today and she didn't say anything was wrong. If she doesn't come, at least she will call me to tell me. Why don't she wait?"
"What are you waiting for? Many customers come here just for her during this period. Why don't you call her and ask her to come over quickly."
Chen Lijun took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and dialed Amei's number. Then he took the cell phone and said, "Turn it off!"
"The phone is turned off. Doesn't she want to do it anymore? Is there any other way to contact her?" Tong Xiaogang asked with a frown.
Chen Lijun shook his head.
