Chapter 18 Making something out of nothing
Although there are people guarding the door of the martial arts gym, walking over and asking directly is something only a social terrorist can do!
Fan Ming, who thought he was a sociopath, casually walked into a grocery store and asked some indirect questions about the details of the "competition to recruit a son-in-law", and got the answer that the competition would be held on the 23rd of next month.
That is, it will be held in twenty-seven days.
The time is neither long nor short, you have to seize the time to practice during this period... Oh, no, what does this have to do with me?
Later, he learned that this competition was not just a simple competition, but also included some other aspects of assessment, such as whether the family background was innocent and whether the appearance was correct.
You need to pass these two levels before you can enter the competition.
When he said this, the shopkeeper looked at Fan Ming and said meaningfully: "I think at least one of the kids will have a very easy time."
Fan Ming took it as if the other party was complimenting him.
Fan Ming ignored the shopkeeper's joking expression and repeated his old trick: "What...shopkeeper, I have a friend who asked me to inquire about something."
"You might as well just tell me, little friend!" the shopkeeper who sold groceries stroked his long beard and said with a friendly smile.
"You live near here, have you ever seen the daughter of the Zuo Hall Master?" Fan Ming asked in a low voice.
The shopkeeper's smile suddenly became even brighter, "You've asked the right person now! Come here, little friend."
Fan Ming follows goodness like a stream.
After a while, Fan Ming asked suspiciously: "Shopkeeper, are you sure you are not teasing me?"
"I'm a businessman and I always treat people with sincerity. How can I still lie to you? I met the daughter of Zuo Guanzhu's family seven or eight years ago, and I still remember it vividly. It's the only one I've ever seen in my life.
She is a beautiful woman. But as the old saying goes, a woman undergoes a major transformation, and I don’t know what she looks like now."
Fan Ming felt somewhat confident.
When I was a child, I was a beautiful woman. Even if I grow crooked when I grow up, it won’t be any crooked. At least I will be better than the average person.
Ahem...Of course, Fan Ming only asked these questions to satisfy his curiosity that had nowhere to go!
◇◇◇
On the other side, two members of the Black Tiger Gang who tried to rob him were lying in a deserted dead-end street. Although they had woken up very early, their bodies were tied and their mouths were gagged. They were not arrested until almost dusk.
Discover.
However, instead of being very happy, the two people who were untied felt very uneasy.
You must know that they have a mission today. They have to keep an eye on the Guiyou Escort Bureau and be responsible for picking up spies.
But they were away from their posts for most of the day!
If it is an ordinary serious job, if you leave the post for half a day, your salary will usually be deducted, and at most you will be scolded.
But they are from the Black Tiger Gang!
The Black Tiger Gang can unify the underground forces in Beishan Town not only by being cruel to outsiders, but also by being cruel to their own people.
The Black Tiger Gang is filled with all kinds of strict rules and regulations. Don't look at the arrogance that the two brothers usually show when they collect protection fees or threaten others. They also have to deal with people who are higher than them in the gang.
You have to pretend to be a grandson.
If you are not careful, your life may be in danger!
Just like today, they have been out of work for a long time. If there is no legitimate reason, they will not be able to save at least a few of their fingers when they return. If they happen to encounter the third young master in a bad mood, it is not impossible to lose his life directly.<
/p>
"What should we do, Brother Long! The three young masters won't kill us when we go back!" The tall and lanky rogue already looked completely helpless.
"Shut up, I'm trying to think of a solution!" Compared to the lanky rogue, the strong rogue looks much calmer on the surface, but the sweat dripping from his forehead has betrayed him.
Driven by the desire to survive, both of them noticed the sentence engraved on the wall of the alley.
"Yes!"
The strong rogue suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up!
"We can make it up!"
The tall and lanky rogue was still a little confused, "How should I braid it?"
"It's very simple. Let's just say that when we were watching, we saw a mysterious person walking out of the back door of the escort agency. Then we followed him, but we were accidentally knocked unconscious by that person. It wasn't until just now that we followed him.
I just woke up!" Although what happened is slightly different, judging from the situation, they were indeed knocked unconscious by a mysterious person, so they are not completely making up lies.
Fan Ming probably never expected that the words he left behind would become the key to awakening them.
The tall and lanky rogue was still a little hesitant, "That's okay..."
The strong ruffian slapped his head violently and angrily said: "If you can't do it now, you have to do it. You still want to die! If you are afraid then, try to speak as little as possible. I will explain it to the third young master!"
p>
But they didn't expect that before they returned to their residence, they saw someone blocking the door of their home.
"You two, the Third Young Master has something to do with you!" The person who spoke was dressed in black, and both gangsters recognized this person. He was the Third Young Master's former study boy, and is now the "strategist". His name is He Cunzhong.<
/p>
Although they are both subordinates of the Third Young Master, their statuses are worlds apart.
Seeing this person coming to the door in person, the two gangsters instantly realized that today's matter was definitely not a big deal. Otherwise, they could just send anyone here, so why bother asking He Cunzhong to come.
Thinking of this, the two of them broke into cold sweat.
On the road.
The two of them followed He Cunzhong and whispered.
"What should I do, Brother Long? I don't want to die yet..."
"Nonsense, who wants to die! Do you remember what I said before? If I go wrong, our lives will be at risk this time!"
"Remember...remember..."
"We will act according to the opportunity when the time comes."
Walking into a large courtyard, both gangsters saw Zheng Helin who was drinking tea in the pavilion.
The two of them looked at each other, then quickly ran to Zheng Helin, and knelt down, not daring to hesitate even if their knees were bleeding.
"Third Young Master, you have to make the decision for us!"
Hearing this, Zheng Helin frowned. He was in a very unhappy mood today. First, he failed to test the escort agency, and then he learned that two of his subordinates dared to disobey his orders and disappeared for no reason. As a result, the information about the secret agents had not reached him for a long time.
Up.
This is a critical moment for the Black Tiger Gang. If some important news is missed or delayed, there may be unforeseen consequences, and he will never even think about becoming the leader of the gang.
So Zheng Helin summoned these two thugs here, intending to have them destroyed in a humane manner if they couldn't give any legitimate reasons.
But he didn't expect that these two people seemed to have a reason.
Although he really wanted to kill them both to calm down, he thought that they might have some information that he didn't know yet, so he suppressed his murderous intention and said while playing with the tea cup in his hand: "Tell me about it!
Chapter completed!
