Chapter 168 Gambling Debt
The Yau Ma Tei fruit market is a mixed bag, with many gangs eyeing this piece of fat. In addition, the vendors who come here to wholesale fruit are from the bottom of society, which makes this market not only chaotic, but also people's anger is relatively high.
In such a mixed place, as a disabled person, Chen Qiang's business has not been squeezed out by others, but has done well. It's all because of his good conduct, and the neighbors are also willing to help him.
The fruit market in the early morning is the busiest time of the day. The busy merchants nearby saw someone vandalizing Chen Qiang's shop and immediately gathered over.
The owner of the shop next door saw a group of young and Dangerous boys gathered at the door and picked up the fruit knife next to him: "Hey! Who are you? Don't mess around!"
"Damn it, are you playing with a knife with me?"
The young man leading the team saw a fierce light in his eyes when he saw the merchant's actions: "Pushing, do you fucking know who I am?"
The merchant threatened with a stern expression: "I'm warning you, don't mess around! Aqiang's sister has a very good relationship with your old man Lu Zonghao! If you make trouble here, be careful not to be punished by the family!"
"Lu Zonghao? You don't even know who I am, and you still dare to yell at me! You're tired of living!"
The young man ignored the knife in the merchant's hand and rushed up to him and slapped him several times. Although the merchant was armed, he still didn't have the courage to fight back after being hit several times.
The young man slapped the merchant on the face a few times, and then shouted to the others: "Listen up, Chen Qiang owes hundreds of thousands of loan sharks in my casino. I am here to collect the debt today! What do you think?
You can stand up for him, yes! But whoever stands up for this must pay me back the money he owes me! Otherwise, if Zhao Qiang still doesn’t pay, I will find the person who led the way... and take him away to me!"
After the young man spoke, he quickly ordered his men to smash Chen Qiang's shop into a mess, and then dragged him away.
Fights often break out in Yau Ma Tei Fruit Column. Except for those who have a good relationship with Chen Qiang, the other merchants are indifferent to this and everyone does what they should do.
At 5:30 in the morning, the busy peak of the fruit stalls has passed. The streets in the market are full of discarded garbage, and merchants have begun to clean up the areas in front of their houses.
Chen Mo would get up an hour early at this time every morning, come over to help Chen Qiang clean up, then go to the hospital to take care of his parents, and finally go to school.
Today she came to the market as usual and saw the mess outside her shop. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and ran to the room: "Brother! Brother! What happened?"
"Xiao Mo, stop shouting!"
The owner of the shop next door came out of the shop with a bruised face and called out to Chen Mo: "Your brother has been taken away!"
"Captured?"
When Chen Mo heard the other party's response, her eyes widened in disbelief: "My brother is so honest and never makes grudges with others. And isn't this fruit bar now protected by Xinyi? How could he be taken away?
?”
"I have found out the person who arrested your brother. His name is Lu Jiaping. He is not a member of the society, but the owner of a small casino. Today Lu Jiaping came over and told him that your brother owed him hundreds of thousands in the casino. This money
If he doesn’t pay back, I’ll break his other leg!”
After the boss explained what he learned about the situation, he continued to advise: "Xiao Mo, your brother's health is not good to begin with, and he cannot withstand the torment of people like Lu Jiaping. Don't you have a good relationship with Lu Zonghao from Xinyi'an? I suggest you go as soon as possible.
Ask Lu Zonghao for help, he is a red stick from Xinyi'an and has great influence in Yau Ma Tei. With his help, it will be much easier to handle this kind of matter!"
When Chen Mo heard what happened to Chen Qiang, she was completely confused: "My brother has never had a bad habit of gambling, and he wakes up early every day and stays in the store late at night. How could he owe gambling debts?"
The boss was very experienced in society and patted Chen Mo's arm to bring her back to reality: "Xiao Mo, the problem now is not how your brother can gamble, but how to get him out of Lu Jiaping's hands! Now this
Time, your brother may be suffering!"
"Brother Zhang, if my brother comes back, please send me a message, thank you!"
Chen Mo said nothing, and without enough time to clean up the mess in the store, she turned around and ran to the nearest public phone booth.
…
Lu Zonghao was alone. Ever since the Vietnamese killer Chen Mingzhe found raided his rental house, he had been living in Changle Queshi.
There is a single dormitory at the entrance of the hall, and the man below will buy him meals three times a day, which makes Lu Zonghao feel like he lives on campus when he is in school.
Wan Xuelin's arrest meant that Yu Dongqing's affairs had taken a turn for the better. So after meeting with Zhou Yongshen the night before, Lu Zonghao hosted a banquet for friends such as Gao Sheng and Chen Zhongxing who helped in the incident. Several of them drank until past two o'clock in the morning.
.
The urgent ringtone of Big Brother woke up Lu Zonghao from his deep sleep. He glanced at the clock on the wall drowsily and answered the phone irritably: "I don't care who you are, but do you know that you are disturbing me so early?"
It’s very rude to let others take a break!”
Chen Mo's crying voice came from the phone: "Brother Hao, this is Chen Mo. Something happened to my brother."
"Chen Mo?"
Lu Zonghao heard that something was wrong in Chen Mo's tone and sat up from the bed: "Don't be anxious and tell me slowly, what's wrong with your brother?"
When Chen Mo heard Lu Zonghao's voice, she cried even harder: "Early this morning, my brother was kidnapped by a man named Lu Jiaping. He said that my brother owed hundreds of thousands of gambling debts, but my brother never
I don’t gamble...Brother Hao, I’m very worried that something will happen to my brother. After thinking about it, I can only ask you for help!”
Lu Zonghao owed Chen Mo two huge favors. When he received the call for help from the other party, he immediately got up and started to get dressed: "Xiao Mo, don't worry, tell me where you are! Don't worry, as long as I'm here
, your brother will never have any problems!"
After Lu Zonghao talked to Chen Mo on the phone, he opened the door and walked outside. He happened to meet Tianbao and others who had just returned to the hall after playing in the bar all night.
Tianbao saw Lu Zonghao and waved hello: "Brother Hao, you got up so early!"
Lu Zonghao stopped Tianbao: "You came back just in time! There is a man named Lu Jiaping in Yau Ma Tei. Do you know him?"
Tianbao responded without thinking: "I know him. His nickname is Pai Kau Ping. He made a fortune in the casino when he was a teenager. Almost everyone who plays cards in Yau Ma Tei knows him. He opened a casino on Baoling Street, which is not big in scale."
When Lu Zonghao heard Tianbao's response, his face instantly darkened: "Everyone go to the backyard to get the guy, and then take me to Lu Jiaping's place!"
Tianbao was slightly startled when he saw Lu Zonghao's words: "Brother, who has Lu Jiaping offended? Do you still need to take action personally?"
