Chapter 568: Luo Shibin’s end, Shui Ziliu took refuge
As soon as Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin arrived at their destination, they saw someone they didn't want to see.
"Du Laosan, it's you."
In an instant, more than a dozen people rushed out from the surrounding area, surrounding Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin.
"Du Laosan, what do you mean, what do you want to do?"
Du Laosan laughed heartily. This time he brought all his younger brothers here just to get Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin.
"You lame man, if you are lame, just stay at home and don't go out to cause trouble."
Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin stood back to back, scanning the dozen or so people surrounding them. Although they were panicking in their hearts, they showed no fear on the surface.
"Du Laosan, we don't mess with the river. What do you want to do by bringing us here?"
Du Laosan sneered and said: "If you don't offend the river, you are quite good at dragging people out. You scalped votes on my territory and you asked me what I wanted to do."
Shui Ziliu looked gloomy: "We have started the business of scalping votes a long time ago."
Du Laosan snorted coldly: "I used to be too lazy to care about you, but from today on, I won't allow you to engage in ticket scalping business on my territory. Do you understand?"
Luo Shibin shouted angrily: "Du Laosan, if you say this is your territory, is it your territory? What business we do is none of your business."
"Binzi."
Luo Shibin was drunk by the water flow, and he felt helpless. Luo Shibin had been really irritable recently and couldn't see the current situation at all. Two against a dozen, how could he be so forceful?
Du Laosan chuckled and said: "Binzi, I can't tell you are quite arrogant. I think you should stop following Shui Laizi and come with me."
"Are you really worthy of your Spring and Autumn Dream?" Luo Shibin cursed.
Du Laosan was originally a ruthless gangster, but Luo Shibin's scolding made his eyes turn cold.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and say hello to our Binzi brothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, five or six people rushed straight at Luo Shibin. Two of them still had sticks in their hands, and they hit Luo Shibin head and face.
Although Luo Shibin was tall and burly, he could not defeat the four-handed man with two fists. He was beaten to the end within two seconds and was kicked and punched by a group of people, screaming in agony.
"Tsk, tsk, I thought you could be so tough, is this all?" Du Laosan looked disdainful.
Shui Ziliu's eyes twitched when he saw Luo Shibin being beaten. The injury from Zhou Chen's last beating hadn't healed yet, so not long after, he was beaten again.
"Du Laosan, how can you bully the minority with more people?"
Du Laosan had a confused look on his face: "Isn't it the most normal thing in our industry to bully the few with more? Shui Laizi, let me warn you again, don't engage in ticket scalping business again in the future. Do you understand?"
Shui Ziliu understood Du Laosan's threat, and his face became more gloomy. Du Laosan was not easy to mess with, but Zhou Bingkun was not easy to mess with either.
More importantly, he and Luo Shibin lived by scalping votes. If they no longer made this money, how would they live in the future?
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is like harming someone's parents. No matter how wise you are, you will still be very angry at this moment.
"Du Laosan, what you did is a bit too much. You do yours and I do mine. Everyone depends on their own ability. If you do this, you will break the rules."
Du Laosan laughed loudly: "Rules? People like us still need to behave. Do you think we are the green forest heroes who roamed the world in ancient times? We still need to behave, haha..."
"I'll ask you one last time, either listen to me honestly and stop doing the ticket scalping business, or I will kick you two out of this land. If you dare to show up again, I will beat you up once."
Looking at the fierce-looking people surrounding him, Shui Ziliu was confused for a moment, and finally decided that a good man should not suffer the consequences in front of him, or...
"ah!"
Suddenly there was a roar, and Luo Shibin, who was being beaten by several people, suddenly jumped up from the ground and knocked away the people who were beating him.
"Brother Shui, don't listen to this idiot, Du Laosan is not a good guy, we will fight with them."
While roaring, he grabbed the wooden stick from one of them and smashed it at them.
Seeing this scene of water flowing freely, I secretly thought something bad, and sure enough the next moment.
Du Laosan yelled angrily: "You dare to fight back? Beat them to death."
Fighting these days is not like fighting with hands closed a few decades later, but real fighting and beating without mercy.
At Du Laosan's order, many gangsters who had been patient immediately swarmed forward, divided into two groups, and beat Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin violently.
Shui Ziliu was originally lame and had no fighting ability. Several people rushed up and beat him. He only struggled for two or three times and then was knocked down.
Luo Shibin looked like a mad man, waving the wooden stick in his hand crazily, but the good times did not last long. After a while, he was hit in the head with a stick by a gangster who was not afraid of death.
"boom."
Luo Shibin felt his eyes go dark, and the next moment, he was overwhelmed. Countless fists, feet, and sticks hit him, and he couldn't even curl up.
After fighting for several minutes, Du Laosan's gangsters stopped. Suddenly, someone noticed something was wrong and squatted down to check Luo Shibin's breath.
"Fortunately, he's not dead."
His words made everyone around him breathe a sigh of relief. They had been angered just now and acted without any measure.
Although they are not afraid of fighting, it is different if they kill someone. These days, killing someone will cost you your life.
Du Laosan was also startled and broke into a cold sweat. He walked up to Shui Ziliu who also fell to the ground but could still open his eyes and looked at him condescendingly.
"Shui Laizi, this is a warning to you. If you don't listen to me, I will beat you once I see you in the future."
"Walk."
Du Laosan quickly left with his men.
Shui Ziliu fell to the ground covered in blood, and his eyes turned hard to Luo Shibin.
"Bin, Binzi."
There was no response. Shui Ziliu kept panting. After a long while, he slowly moved his body and crawled towards Luo Shibin.
The distance was only a few dozen meters, but the water flowed slowly and it took several minutes to climb to the side of Luo Shibin.
He pushed Luo Shibin's body hard, but Luo Shibin had no reaction at all.
"Bin Zi, wake up. Bin Zi, you must not cause anything to happen."
For Shui Ziliu, Luo Shibin was his only brother since Tu Ziqiang's death.
"Hospital, I want to take Binzi to find a doctor."
But now it is difficult for him to stand up by himself, let alone go to the doctor with Luo Shibin, who weighs more than 100 pounds.
Shui Ziliu tried desperately to stand up, but one of his legs was lame. He had just been beaten by a group of people and was scarred.
It took a long time to stand up, and he tried hard to pull Luo Shibin up.
Although he is an adult man, it is very difficult for him to stand up. If he wants to pull up a big man who weighs more than 100 kilograms and then carry him away, unless the small universe explodes, it is absolutely impossible.
The emotion of "Shui Ziliu" towards brothers, never abandoning or giving up, really makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.
Zhou Chen, who had been watching in the dark, was also moved by Shui Ziliu's brotherly love and was ready to help Shui Ziliu, so he made a decision.
Later, he paid someone to help him and went to the nearest police station to report the crime.
After doing such a good deed, Zhou Chen left silently.
When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and goes away, hiding his merit and fame.
The water flow took a long time to drag Luo Shibin a few meters away, but soon he saw a group of policemen running over, which made him so distraught that he could no longer hold on and fainted.
A few days later, when Zhou Chen wanted to go to Du Laosan, he got accurate information.
After what happened that day, Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin were taken away by the police and later locked up because of the fight.
In addition to the two of them, several people in Du Laosan's group were also arrested. On the contrary, Du Laosan, because he did not take any action, was only investigated for two days and then released.
However, Zhou Chen knew that Du Laosan and Shui Ziliu had formed a close relationship. Under normal circumstances, people like them would not go to the police if they had a fight.
In Du Laosan's view, Shui Ziliu and the others called the police, which was a violation of the rules and allowed him and his subordinates to be imprisoned. Several brothers have not been released yet. A gangster like him who is determined to retaliate will definitely not be able to swallow this.
Tonally.
Zhou Chen's purpose was to get the two of them to fight, so that someone would help deal with Luo Shibin without him having to take action, which was what he wanted best.
Why go and do it yourself when you can do it behind the scenes?
Luo Shibin was only repaired, which was naturally not in line with Zhou Chen's psychological expectations, but the future matters had to wait until they were released.
Zhou Chen lived normally in the following days. Half a month later, Zhou Chen went to meet Du Laosan and got two bicycle tickets and a sewing ticket from him.
Then he fulfilled his promise and bought another bicycle, and taught Zheng Juan how to ride a bicycle when he had time.
Zhou Chen felt that a simple means of transportation like a bicycle could be learned casually, but after teaching Zheng Juan, he discovered that it was not that simple.
Zheng Juan learned to ride a bicycle with trepidation and nervousness in her heart. In the first few days, her brain was very confused and she couldn't learn how to teach it. This made Zhou Chen unable to calm down and scolded him several times angrily.
This is like teaching your child to do homework. You analyze it word by word, bit by bit, but he still can't learn it. At this time, no matter how well-trained you are, it's hard to stay calm.
After more than a week of suffering, Zheng Juan finally learned to ride a bicycle, which made Zhou Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
Teaching Zheng Juan to ride a bicycle is simply more difficult than completing a project.
Because of his calculations against Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, Zhou Chen had almost spent all his savings. During this period, he 'wrote' a few good poems and articles, preparing to earn more royalties.
At the same time, I am also thinking that I should find a way to make some money. After all, I am married now and will have a child soon. I am also thinking about buying a house. It is not possible to have no money.
But this era is so special that none of the money-making methods in his mind are of use at this moment.
It's not that he can't make money, but it's too dangerous. If he's not careful, he might be labeled as a speculator, and he can't bear the consequences.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
Zhou Chen looked at Shui Ziliu who appeared in front of him with some surprise. Unlike before, Shui Ziliu came alone and did not see Luo Shibin.
"The water flows by itself. You finally showed up. I thought you took my money and disappeared."
Compared with before, Shui Ziliu now looks a lot more vicissitudes of life, and the clothes are not as refreshing as before, and look a little sloppy.
Recalling what happened some time ago, Shui Ziliu's expression became very complicated.
On the day they clashed with Du Laosan, they were arrested and imprisoned for more than a month for fighting. They were released just a few days ago.
If it was just like this, he wouldn't be so decadent, mainly because something happened that no one expected.
"We are not so dishonest. Something happened to Binzi."
Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised: "What happened? What happened? That guy has a bad mouth. He must have offended someone again."
Shui Ziliu kept staring closely at Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen's acting skills were so good, it was like hearing it for the first time, so he couldn't find anything unusual at all.
"Because of ticket scalping, we had a fight with another group of people. During the process, Binzi had an accident and was hit in the head. It has been more than a month and he still hasn't woken up. Doctor
Said he might never wake up in his lifetime."
"What?"
Even in Zhou Chen's state of mind, when he heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at the water flowing in disbelief.
"You mean, he became a vegetative state and can't wake up?"
The first time he heard the term vegetative state, Shui Ziliu nodded and said, "That's what the doctor said."
"This is really..."
Zhou Chen's expression was strange, and he didn't know how to describe his current mood.
He was still thinking about how to continue targeting Luo Shibin, but now, Luo Shibin had become a vegetative state, so how could he target him?
And this thing is such a coincidence. In the TV series, Luo Shibin was in a vegetative state for a period of time, but now it's good that he was in a vegetative state so many years in advance.
Zhou Chen sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he also gave Du Laosan a thumbs up, awesome, brother.
"Then why did you come to me?"
Shui Ziliu said in a deep voice: "Binzi is my brother. Although he cannot wake up, he is still alive. I will not give up on him."
Zhou Chen asked: "You mean, you want to raise him? I don't know how much it costs to raise a vegetative person, but it shouldn't be less, right?"
Shui Ziliu remained silent. He had taken care of Luo Shibin for a few days, so he naturally knew how difficult this process was.
You don’t have to live in the hospital, but you definitely need someone to take care of you all the time, eat, drink, and take care of you. This is not something that ordinary people can take care of.
"So I need money."
Zhou Chen frowned and asked, "Then you come to me?"
Shui Ziliu's expression was slumped: "I don't know any rich people or big shots. I think you are not an ordinary person. Maybe you can give me a good suggestion."
Without Luo Shibin as a thug, Shui Ziliu knew that it would be difficult for him to survive, and scalping votes was even more impossible.
Although several of Du Laosan's younger brothers were sentenced to several years, Du Laosan was still not something he could deal with, not to mention that Du Laosan was not the only one involved in the ticket scalping business.
Zhou Chen was very surprised that Shui Ziliu would say such a thing. Is it possible to ask him to help make money to support Luo Shibin?
He was about to refuse, but suddenly something happened in his heart.
He is worried about his status and is not suitable for other profitable businesses. If Shui Ziliu is willing to help, he will definitely be a good candidate.
Speaking of which, there was no deep hatred between them, but after watching the TV series, he was full of disgust for Luo Shibin, and would feel unhappy if he didn't play with him.
I don’t have a good impression of water flow, but I can’t say I hate it either.
Now that Luo Shibin has become a vegetative state, he feels relieved and has no idea of continuing to mess with him.
Shui Ziliu is indeed a good brother. Luo Shibin is already like this, but he is still unwilling to give up, which shows that he is very loyal.
Now Shui Ziliu is extremely short of money, and what he lacks is not just small money. If he wants to keep Luo Shibin alive, he will need a lot of money.
In this way, if he can make money from Shui Ziliu, he will not worry that Shui Ziliu will not be used by him, and with Luo Shibin as a drag, it will be easier to conquer Shui Ziliu.
"You really want to make money? Any way?"
Shui Ziliu said in a deep voice: "I need money very much. If you can entrust me with something that is not illegal, that would be the best. If there is really no good choice, even if it is a risk, I am willing to give it a try."
There is a vegetative Luo Shibin who needs to be taken care of, so he is destined not to travel far. He is worried about leaving Luo Shibin to others.
He is self-aware. If he cannot go elsewhere, it will be too difficult for him to make money. If he has other options, he will not turn to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen remained silent. This was definitely Shui Ziliu's most depressed moment. If he could help him, he might have unexpected gains.
But it's not absolutely certain. After all, the time he has been in contact with Shui Ziliu is still short. He is still not sure what kind of person Shui Ziliu is, and he can't judge whether Shui Ziliu is reliable.
"I do have a way to make money, but I don't know if I should believe you."
Zhou Chen directly asked the doubts in his heart. Since he couldn't be sure, he just let Shuiziliu answer it.
Shui Ziliu said: "As long as it can make me money, I can do whatever you want. If you are willing to help me take care of Binzi for the rest of his life, I can leave my life to you."
This was said so clearly and neatly that Zhou Chen was also infected by him.
But this is not enough. Zhou Chen has lived for so many years and has met all kinds of people. How could he completely trust others just because of a few words he said?
"How can I conquer him?"
If ordinary methods don't work, then use unusual methods. Zhou Chen thought of the system, and now he still has many skills that he can use.
"Use money to clear the way."
Zhou Chen instantly thought of this skill. As long as he spent money, he could increase his success rate by 50%.
It's just hard to say how much money it will cost to make the skill of money clearing take effect.
No matter what, Zhou Chen decided to give it a try, but not now.
With his many years of experience in controlling subordinates, coupled with the skill of clearing the way with money, he should be very confident in conquering Shui Ziliu.
"Okay, now that you have this awareness, I might as well help you, but I need to go back and plan the specific things, so you can wait for a while."
"no problem."
Seeing Zhou Chen agreeing, Shui Ziliu felt relieved. He had never thought about making money with his own hands, but that would be too difficult and a waste of time.
Now Luo Shibin is lying down, eating, drinking, and sleeping for two people. This is a huge expense. His savings will not be used for long, so he must make money as quickly as possible without wasting any time.
He didn't have this ability himself, so he could only rely on Zhou Chen. At least he had cooperated with Zhou Chen before, so he felt more at ease than with others.
At night, Zhou Chen didn't fall asleep for a long time, still thinking about the natural flow of water.
The appearance of Du Laosan was indeed his arrangement, and even the conflict between Shui Ziliu and Du Laosan was part of his plan.
But Luo Shibin was beaten into a vegetative state, which really exceeded his expectations. It was something he didn't expect, and it disrupted his plan.
Zhou Chen did not object to such an accident, but felt that it was very good. In this way, he no longer had to worry about making plans to deal with Luo Shibin.
Moreover, since he had achieved his goal, he no longer had to worry about Du Lao San. The little money he gave Du Lao San was regarded as hiring him as a thug.
For Zhou Chen, perhaps the most valuable thing is that he can collect the water for his own use. Having someone who can help him make money secretly can save him a lot of trouble.
