Chapter 450 What Did You Just Say? I Didn't Hear It Clearly. How About You Say It Again?

Ten o'clock in the evening is the most popular time for late-night snacks.

Zhang Ji's family of four is busy making Zhangji's snail and duck feet stew in Nanning Snack Street.

Since their sister and brother-in-law showed them the way, Zhang Shouguo and his wife paid a master chef to learn the art of making snail and duck feet pot. This dish is quite popular in Guangxi. Since the opening of their escargot shop, their business has been booming. Pretty good.

In addition, the brother-in-law directly gave them free rent for a long time. Without the pressure of rent, the profits of this business are quite generous.

Zhang Shouguo has three children. The eldest son, Zhang Bohui, is 18 years old this year, and the second son, Zhang Bohu, is 16 years old. Both brothers inherited the Zhang family's genes and had no talent for reading. They barely finished junior high school and then dropped out of school.

Only her daughter, Zhang Boqiu, has good academic performance and is currently studying in Longtan Junior High School.

Those currently helping in the store are naturally his two sons.

In fact, not only Zhang Shouguo's business was good, but his three brothers' businesses were also good. Their four brothers' shops were connected, which was also to make it easier to take care of each other.

Just when Zhang Shouguo's family of four were busy running around, a group of people came over with cigarettes in their mouths and steps that they didn't recognize. They all looked carefree. Although they didn't have tattoos on their bodies, they didn't look like good people. .

Sister-in-law Zhang felt a little nervous after seeing it, but she was a guest, so she still went up to greet her and said, "Bosses, come in and sit down."

The leader of the young man with a flat head responded, went in to find a seat, and ordered three snails and duck feet in a pot, a box of beer, three plates of peanuts, and three plates of melon seeds. Then the few of them sat there and started chatting as if no one was watching.

After beer, peanuts, melon seeds, etc. were served, a few people started guessing and drinking.

This situation is quite normal in a night market like Snack Street. Not only are they guessing and drinking, there are countless diners in the whole street guessing and drinking.

Seeing that they had no intention of causing trouble, Mrs. Zhang gradually felt relieved, while the other diners did not take it seriously and continued to eat and drink with their friends.

Unconsciously, the time came after midnight, and the number of diners in the snack street began to gradually decrease.

In Zhang Shouguo's shop, all the other diners paid their bills and left, leaving only a few idle diners.

At this time, these diners had almost finished eating and drinking. The young man with a flat head at the head suddenly waved to Zhang Shouguo and said, "Boss, come here."

Zhang Shouguo came over after hearing this and asked with a smile: "Bosses, what else do you need?"

A young man with yellow hair next to the flat-headed young man took a puff of cigarette, sprayed it towards Zhang Shoujun, and reminded: "Boss, thanking you is not enough. Our brothers from the Wolf Gang also need to eat when they come out to hang out. You should know what to do." How to do it?"

Zhang Shouguo understood, but still asked: "Brother, what do you mean?"

The yellow-haired young man frowned and said, "Boss, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

Several other young men also stared at Zhang Shouguo with unkind expressions, ready to take action if they disagreed.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Zhang immediately gave her eldest son a wink, and Zhang Bohui slipped out of his shop and ran next door to call some uncles.

Zhang Shouguo still had a smile on his face and said: "I really don't understand, please ask some brothers to clarify."

The yellow-haired young man said coldly: "Boss, let me make it clear. Since our Wolf Gang has protected your snail shop, you must pay a small amount of fees to our Wolf Gang every month. You should have no objection to this boss, right?" "

The smile on Zhang Shouguo's face gradually faded and he said, "It turns out that these brothers are here to collect protection money!"

The leader of the flat-headed young man said calmly: "Yes, to tell you the truth, we have more than a hundred brothers in the Wolf Gang. Not only our snail shop has to pay us protection fees, but also the bosses of the entire snack street have to pay us protection fees." ”

Zhang Shouguo frowned and said, "Brothers, this is a small business, so I ask you to show your respect."

"boom!"

The yellow-haired young man suddenly got angry, slapped his hand on the table, and shouted: "Stop fucking nonsense, let me ask you, are you going to pay the protection fee or not? If you pay it obediently, what will happen to you in the future?" The Tianluo store is naturally safe. If you don’t pay, don’t blame us for not warning you if something happens to your Tianluo store.”

At this time, Zhang Bohui had already rushed over with his three uncles and relatives who were responsible for helping them, and they all carried a steel pipe in their hands.

The four brothers of the Zhang family all know how chaotic this era is. They are in the late-night snack business, and nighttime is the world of certain people. Having steel pipes ready in the store can be regarded as being prepared.

When Zhang Bohui rushed back with his people, he happened to see the yellow-haired young man slamming the table at his father. He immediately became angry and rushed over. He pointed a steel pipe at the yellow-haired young man and cursed: "Damn it, you dare to come here." Are you tired of the trouble in my store?"

Zhang Shoumin, Zhang Shoujun, Zhang Shoushan and others also rushed in with steel pipes and asked: "Brother, what happened?"

When the crew-cut young man and others saw seven or eight people suddenly rushing in with steel pipes from outside, their faces changed drastically. They immediately picked up a small bench as a defensive gesture, and at the same time shouted: "Don't mess around!"

Zhang Shouguo reached out to stop his eldest son, and at the same time replied: "They are here to collect protection money."

Among the four brothers, Zhang Shoujun had a more irritable temper. Hearing this, he cursed: "You are so blind. You actually asked us for protection fees. You are so brave!"

Hearing Zhang Shoujun's curse, the flat-headed young man's face turned very ugly. He originally thought that the people doing small businesses in the snack street would never dare to provoke their wolf gang. As long as they asked, it would be easy to collect protection fees.

But unexpectedly, the owner of this store was not afraid of them at all, and the other party seemed to be quite powerful in this snack street. He could easily call seven or eight people with weapons, which was really beyond their expectations.

If they had known this would happen, they should have brought a few more brothers with them, so they would not be so passive.

However, they were just gangsters after all. Fighting was commonplace for them, so they were not scared by a few people holding steel pipes.

The flat-headed youth said coldly: "Boss, have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to go against our Wolf Gang?"

The yellow-haired youth also threatened: "We have more than a hundred brothers in the Wolf Gang. If you dare to touch us, none of you can escape, and you don't have to open your snail shop."

"Is the Wolf Gang so great? What we Bobai people are least afraid of is threats."

Eighteen-year-old Zhang Bohui is in his prime, and with his aunt as a big backer, he can't say he can walk sideways in Nanning, but he is definitely not afraid of the Wolf Gang, so he looked at his father and said: "Dad, do you want to destroy them?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.

The movement here has long alarmed the owners and diners of other nearby shops. Chinese people like to watch the excitement. Seeing the conflict here, they couldn't help but gather around, wanting to know what happened here.

It turned out that someone came to collect protection fees. The faces of other snack shop owners changed instantly. This is what they fear most when doing business. They have to hand over a sum of money to others every month. This is the pain in the hearts of many businessmen in the 1980s and 1990s.

Originally, they just came to watch the fun, but now they find that this matter is closely related to themselves. They all stretched their necks to watch the development of things.

Zhang Shouguo stopped his eldest son again, looked at the few people in the Wolf Gang, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know who the big boss of this snack street is? You dare to come to his territory to collect protection fees. You Wolf Gang want to be removed, right?"

As the saying goes, it is better to lose the battle than the battle. Although the current situation is serious, the flat-headed young man still sneered: "Do you think our Wolf Gang was scared?"

If it were not for doing business safely, Zhang Shouguo would definitely have abolished these guys without hesitation, but he would have to stay here to do business in the future. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge an open gun, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. If this matter is not resolved thoroughly, there will definitely be big troubles in the future.

Let’s not talk about other things first. If someone is ready one day and comes with a group of people to chop, it will be fatal.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shouguo said to his second son: "Ahu, go call your aunt and tell her what happened here."

Zhang Bohu responded and ran out to find a phone booth to call his aunt.

After the second son left, Zhang Shouguo said to the Wolf Gang members: "I am a businessman and don’t want to fight. My son has already notified the big boss of the snack street. You should also send someone back to tell the boss of your Wolf Gang and let him come to deal with this matter in person!"

When the flat-headed young man heard this, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. He said to one of the brothers: "Xiao Liu, go back and tell the boss about it."

The young man named Xiao Liu responded, then put down the bench in his hand, and under the watchful eyes of Zhang Bohui and others, he slipped out of the snail shop and went back to get help.

Zhang Shouguo then said, "Put down your benches, drink a cup of tea to sober up, and we'll talk when someone comes."

The flat-headed youth took the lead in putting down his benches, and the other youths also put down their benches.

Zhang Shouguo waved his hand, and Zhang Bohui and others also put away their steel pipes. The originally tense atmosphere was instantly eased.

On seeing this, Mrs. Zhang made a pot of tea and sent it to them.

Just now, everyone had already fallen out, and the flat-headed youth and others did not speak, just sitting there quietly drinking tea.

At the same time, they were also wondering what kind of person the big boss of this snack street was.

From what the snail shop owner said, the big boss of this snack street seemed to have great power, the kind that could destroy their wolf gang at any time.

In this regard, the flat-headed youth was half-believing and half-doubting. Although their wolf gang was established relatively recently, it was true that they had more than a hundred gang members, and it was also a considerable force in Nanning, and many businesses had to pay them protection fees.

Such a force, most people dare not provoke them, and it is really not something that can be destroyed just by saying it.

However, the shop owner in front of him, knowing the strength of their Wolf Gang, still looked very confident. Obviously, in his heart, the strength of the snack street owner was much stronger than their Wolf Gang.

Less than ten minutes.

Three cars drove directly into the snack street and stopped at the door of Zhang's Snail Duck Feet Pot. Deng Shirong, his father and son, and several security personnel got out of the car.

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Nine!"

Zhang Shouguo and others came over to greet Deng Shirong respectfully when they saw him.

Deng Shirong hummed, looked at the flat-headed young man, and asked, "Are they here to collect protection fees?"

Zhang Shouguo nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Jiu, I have asked them to send someone back to inform their boss, and their boss should come here soon."

Deng Shirong sat down on a stool and said, "Let's wait until their boss comes."

Soon, more than ten motorcycles came over, and three people sat on each motorcycle, all holding standard weapons, and their momentum was even more fierce. These people were none other than the security personnel of Wuyue Square.

After they arrived, they all stood quietly by the side waiting for orders.

At this moment, the flat-headed young man and others turned pale. Although their Wolf Gang had more than a hundred gang members, it would be difficult to gather dozens of people temporarily unless they gathered people in advance, let alone gather dozens of people to rush here in a short time.

Now the other party has gathered so many people in such a short time, and these people can be seen at a glance that they are not easy to mess with. It can be seen that the other party's strength is really awesome. They may really kick the iron plate tonight.

Three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes...

The waiting time was undoubtedly the most difficult, especially for the young man with a flat head and others. Under the gaze of so many people, every minute and every second was tortured. They were secretly praying that the boss and others would come faster. They couldn't stand this scene.

In order to find something to do, they took the initiative to pay for the supper just now.

The diners who were watching also began to whisper at this time.

"Will the boss of the Wolf Gang not dare to come?"

"It shouldn't be the case. If the boss of the Wolf Gang doesn't dare to show up tonight, then the Wolf Gang will have no place in Nanning!"

"Why hasn't he arrived in such a long time? If he doesn't come soon, the opportunity will be gone."

"Actually, this is normal. It will take a lot of time to gather people so late at night and then rush here."

"Then how did the store owner gather so many people so quickly?"

"Didn't you hear the store owner say that he notified the big boss behind the snack street? He owns such a big snack street, so how can ordinary people compare to him!"

"That's right. It seems that the Wolf Gang will have to admit defeat tonight."

"..."

As for the owners of other snack shops, they couldn't help but get excited at this moment. The big boss of the snack street is so powerful, which is naturally a good thing for them.

After waiting for several minutes, a large truck drove into the snack street and stopped next to the three cars. Then, armed Wolf Gang members jumped out of the truck one by one. There were about 30 or 40 of them.

The security personnel brought by Deng Shirong stood up immediately and confronted the Wolf Gang members.

In the passenger compartment of the truck, the boss of the Wolf Gang, Duan Ping, came down with a "fire stick" and a cigarette in his mouth. He asked arrogantly, "Who wants to see me?"

Deng Shirong stood up and asked calmly, "Are you the boss of the Wolf Gang?"

Duan Ping blew the cigarette in his mouth to the ground with a "puff" sound, and said proudly, "Yes, I am the boss of the Wolf Gang, who are you?"

Deng Shirong pushed away the two security guards in front of him, walked in front of Duan Ping, and said, "This snack street is my territory. You sent people here to collect protection fees. You don't take me seriously?"

Duan Ping suddenly pointed at Deng Shirong with a "fire stick" and sneered, "I don't take you seriously. What do you think?"

He is not a fool. The first time he got off the car, he observed that the number of the other party was not less than theirs, but he was a gangster after all. Even if he knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, his attitude had to be tough.

Otherwise, if he lowered his posture as soon as he came, how could he lead the gang in the future? How could he compete with other forces for territory?

"Dad, be careful!"

"Uncle Jiu, be careful!"

"Boss, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, all the members of our team could not help but get nervous.

After all, this is a "fire stick". If it goes off accidentally, it's no joke.

However, Deng Shirong's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He suddenly took action and snatched the "fire stick" from Duan Ping at a lightning speed, then pointed at him and said, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly, how about you say it again?"

This operation directly shocked everyone at the scene.

Including those veterans with extraordinary skills, they were also shocked by their boss's move. This is not a movie. How many people dare to move when being pointed at with a "fire stick" in reality?

Not to mention reaching out to grab the "fire stick" directly, this operation is simply against the sky. If someone accidentally goes off, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

Duan Ping was also stunned. He really couldn't have imagined that there would be such a ruthless person like Deng Shirong in this world. He snatched the "fire stick" directly from his hand, and he really let him snatch it away. Is such a ruthless person really a billionaire snack street boss?

Aren't those rich people more afraid of death than each other?

Why does it feel that this billionaire snack street boss is even less afraid of death than him, the boss of the Wolf Gang?

He has money, connections, and is not afraid of death. Duan Ping asked himself if he really couldn't afford to provoke such a ruthless person. In addition, now that he was pointed at with a "fire stick", he didn't care about his face and said directly: "Boss, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I was blind. Since this snack street is your territory, our Wolf Gang will never interfere here again. I hope you will not care about the villain's mistakes and let us go."

Deng Shirong stared at him for half a minute, until he felt scared, then he put away the "fire stick" and said: "From now on, if you come here to consume, I welcome you on behalf of all the bosses of the snack street, but if you dare to come here to collect protection fees, don't blame me for killing you."

Duan Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Boss, don't worry, I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again."

Deng Shirong said: "Please help me spread the word that the snack street and Wuyue Square are both my turf, and I don't want any forces to come here to collect protection fees."

"Okay, boss, I will spread the word for you tomorrow."

Duan Ping agreed, and smiled bitterly in his heart. If he had known that the snack street and Wuyue Square were owned by the same boss, he would not have sent anyone to collect protection fees even if he was crazy!

After all, there are dozens of veterans doing military training in Wuyue Square all year round. Who in the underworld doesn't know that? Since the opening of Wuyue Square, no force has dared to come here to collect protection fees.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's all go!"

Duan Ping nodded and called the brothers to evacuate. As for the "fire stick" he brought, he didn't even dare to mention it.

Soon, the Wolf Gang got on the car and left. Those diners who had seen the whole thing were all excited and talked about it.

"Oh my god, tonight is so exciting."

"I just thought a fight was going to break out, but I didn't expect the boss of this snack street to be so awesome. He was pointed at by the boss of the Wolf Gang with a "fire stick", but he just reached out and grabbed it. It's so awesome!"

"It's really awesome. If I was pointed at with a "fire stick", I would have peed my pants a long time ago. This boss is really a ruthless person!"

"It is said that the richer the people are, the more afraid of death they are. This boss has overturned this saying."

"The snack street and Wuyue Square are actually owned by the same boss. No wonder the boss of the Wolf Gang just gave in."

"..."

The owners of other snack shops were also smiling at this time. Their landlord was so awesome, and they, as tenants, could naturally benefit from it. At least when doing business here, they don't have to worry about being charged protection fees or someone coming to make trouble.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang came over and said politely: "Uncle Jiu, I'm sorry to bother you to deal with this kind of thing so late."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "You're welcome. These people come here to collect protection fees, which has a great impact on the development of the snack street."

Zhang Shouguo said with some fear: "Uncle Jiu, what you did just now is really too risky. If this "fire stick" goes off, it's no joke."

"Don't worry, if I'm not absolutely sure, how could I take a risk? I won't say anything more. It's getting late. Let's pack up and go back to rest!"

Speaking of this, Deng Shirong looked at the security personnel and smiled: "And you, go back and rest too. Thank you all for tonight."

"Boss, you're polite. This is what we should do."
