Cheng Jianjun sneaked into an alley and looked around for a long time. His steps were extremely slow, even cautious.
When he came to the door of a dilapidated house, he flinched a little and was reluctant to take the first step.
In the end, Cheng Jianjun gritted his teeth and stepped forward to knock on the door.
The door opened quickly, and a man who looked to be in his early twenties and looked ruffian glanced at Cheng Jianjun.
"Isn't this Boss Cheng? Why are you free to come here today?"
Cheng Jianjun said with a smile on his face: "Third brother, is Boss Yan here?"
The third brother chuckled and said, "It's true that the boss is here, but you have to wait for a while to find him. He is having fun with Sister Li."
Cheng Jianjun said politely: "It's okay, I'll wait."
The third brother smiled evilly, stepped aside, and motioned for Cheng Jianjun to come in first.
Cheng Jianjun looked ahead, his eyes flinching, but he still stepped into the yard.
The third brother looked around outside to make sure no one was there before closing the door.
Cheng Jianjun seemed to have been here before. He walked in with familiarity, but his steps were a little slow.
The third brother caught up with Cheng Jianjun and patted him on the shoulder, making him tremble all over.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like you've never been here before."
The third brother snorted disdainfully, and then led Cheng Jianjun into the back room.
The third brother was not alone in the room, there were other people, both men and women, who seemed to be playing with something.
At first glance, those things look like old objects, but upon closer inspection they look nothing like them.
It turns out that the place where Cheng Jianjun came was a den for counterfeiting antiques.
The third brother did not avoid Cheng Jianjun and took him directly to a nearby bedroom and poured him a glass of water.
"We only have boiled water here, so Boss Cheng will make do with it."
Cheng Jianjun even said that he did not dare to do so and said that he likes to drink boiled water.
The third brother put down his water glass, sat down next to Cheng Jianjun, and asked, "I heard that Boss Cheng's hot pot restaurant was closed down yesterday. The brothers wanted to have a meal, but they didn't expect it."
Cheng Jianjun sighed: "I was reported for selling fake wine."
The third brother was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "That shouldn't be the case! The wine I got was enough to be fake and real, and I was discovered after only a few days of selling it?"
It turns out that the Maotai liquor sold in Cheng Jianjun's store was purchased from his third brother.
"It was me who knew the wine, and I happened to meet someone who knew about wine. He discovered the problem as soon as he smelled it." Cheng Jianjun said bitterly.
The third brother frowned and said, "What's that person's name?"
Cheng Jianjun said: "I really don't know his name. I only know that he is nicknamed Bad Hou, and he collects rags at the front door."
The third brother suddenly said: "It turns out to be the Popohou Hou! No wonder."
Cheng Jianjun was taken aback and asked, "Third brother also knows Popohouhou?"
The third brother's face turned cold and he said: "Not only do we know each other, this shabby guy has ruined a lot of our business!"
Of course Cheng Jianjun knew what the "business" the third brother meant.
Third Brother and his gang are a group that specializes in counterfeiting. They make fake wine, fake cigarettes, and even fake antiques as long as they make money.
Cheng Jianjun also met the third brother and his boss Yan Ge by chance.
At that time, his hot pot restaurant happened to be losing money, so he was thinking about how to make up for it through drinks, and he hit it off with San Ge and his gang.
They provided fake wine and Cheng Jianjun was responsible for selling it. As time went by, the two parties became familiar with each other. Cheng Jianjun even visited their counterfeiting den several times.
Cheng Jianjun came to see his third brother this time because he owed money for a batch of goods. Now that the hot pot restaurant was closed, he couldn't pay the money.
He owed money to others, but Third Brother and his gang were too dark, so Cheng Jianjun had no choice but to come in person.
"Third brother, can you delay the payment for the last batch of goods for a few days? My store has been closed down and I really don't have much money on hand!" Cheng Jianjun nodded and bowed.
The third brother snorted coldly and said: "Boss Cheng, we agreed at the beginning that we would settle the accounts at the end of every month. What's wrong, we just wanted to default on the debt after we started working together?"
Cheng Jianjun broke out in cold sweat.
"It's not a default, it's not a default." Cheng Jianjun said anxiously: "I just want to give you a few days of grace. When the hot pot restaurant reopens, the payment will be given to you immediately."
The third brother said contemptuously: "How can a hot pot restaurant as big as yours do business if you can't even pay for the wine?"
Cheng Jianjun smiled bitterly and said: "I can't help it. Not long after the store opened, it was closed before the money was transferred."
The third brother would not listen to Cheng Jianjun's excuse and said, "You can tell Boss Yan about this later! I can't make the decision."
"You can't make any decisions?"
A voice came from outside the house, and then Cheng Jianjun saw a big man, shirtless, holding a disheveled woman in his arms, walking in from outside.
Seeing the person coming, Cheng Jianjun immediately stood up.
"Boss, Sister Li." The third brother also stood up and shouted.
Boss Yan walked in with his arms around the woman and sat down directly on the main seat. The woman named Sister Li didn't even straighten her clothes when she saw outsiders. Her chest was open and covered with white flowers, but Cheng Jianjun and the third brother didn't dare to look at it.
One glance.
"San'er, what's going on?" Boss Yan took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Sister Li immediately took a match and lit it.
The third brother walked up to Boss Yan and told Cheng Jianjun's story.
Boss Yan listened expressionlessly, but didn't express anything.
"So, it was Bao Bao Hou who ruined our good deeds?" Boss Yan finally spoke.
The third brother said: "We and Popohou Hou have always been on the same page, so why did he report Boss Cheng's shop?"
Boss Yan glanced at Cheng Jianjun and said contemptuously: "Then you have to ask Boss Cheng. There are many stores selling our liquor in the capital. Why did Popohou only report Boss Cheng's store."
Cheng Jianjun gritted his teeth and said: "Baolanhou and Zaihuilou's Han Chunming are friends, Zaihuilou and Zaihuilou are competitors. Han Chunming must have instigated Bashaihou to report it."
Boss Yan took a puff of cigarette, and the third brother immediately brought the ashtray.
"Go back to the boss downstairs, it seems we have met before!" Boss Yan asked the third brother.
"Yes, I approached one of their bosses to discuss cooperation, but he rejected it outright." The third brother thought for a while and said.
Boss Yan turned to Cheng Jianjun with a half-smile but said, "Boss Cheng, do you want us to help you find trouble when you go back upstairs?"

"How are you going to deal with Han Chunming?" Cheng Jianjun asked tentatively.
Boss Yan picked up the cigarette in his mouth, looked at the sparks on it, and said, "How about we go back upstairs and light a fire?"
Cheng Jianjun opened his mouth in surprise, but for a moment he didn't dare to answer.
He didn't know whether Boss Yan was joking or serious.
If we really go back to the building and burn it, the nature will be different.
"Boss Cheng, what are you worried about?" Boss Yan smiled nonchalantly.
Cheng Jianjun gritted his teeth and asked, "Will it hurt anyone's life?"
The third brother on the side smiled. He saw that Cheng Jianjun was moved, but he was too timid and could not make a decision.
"Don't worry, Boss Cheng, we still have a bottom line. We will definitely find a time to set fire to it when no one is around." The third brother said with a smile.
Cheng Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief, but did not relax completely.
Boss Yan added fuel to the fire.
"Boss Cheng, I'm actually very optimistic about your store. Don't pay back the previous payment, just count it as my investment capital.
It’s time to go back downstairs. You don’t have your biggest competitor, so your business should be better!”
Cheng Jianjun felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that Mr. Yan would take advantage of his store.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside.
A man broke in and said to Boss Yan: "Boss, it's bad, there are a lot of police outside."
Boss Yan stood up suddenly.
"Did the police break in?" Boss Yan frowned.
"We have entered the front yard, and the brothers are blocking us," the man said urgently.
"Go through the back door immediately, as many ways as you can." Boss Yan pushed Sister Li towards the third brother and said:
"San'er, you take Xiaoli away immediately, I'll stay here to break up the queen."
The third brother said anxiously: "Boss, you better leave first!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just leave as soon as I tell you." Boss Yan's eyes widened and he suddenly turned to look at Cheng Jianjun.
"Did you bring the police?"
Cheng Jianjun was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
"No, no, I don't know!"
Boss Yan snorted coldly, grabbed Cheng Jianjun, and said, "You won't be able to feel better if I get caught."
The third brother took Boss Yan's woman and ran to the back door. Boss Yan grabbed Cheng Jianjun and refused to let him escape, and then ordered his brothers to destroy the counterfeiting tools.
Cheng Jianjun is really on the verge of tears now, regretting how he got into such a situation today.
A large number of police officers quickly rushed into the yard and arrested anyone on sight. Mr. Yan resisted a few times and was pinned to the ground.
Cheng Jianjun wanted to take advantage of the chaos and run away, but he failed to outrun the police.
It didn't take long for the Cheng family to receive news that Cheng Jianjun had been arrested, and Cheng's father hurried to the police station.
Wang Gang stood in front of the window sill and couldn't help but smile coldly when he saw Cheng's father running out in a hurry.
