I could tell early on that this Red was no ordinary character, but I didn’t expect her to be so jaded.
“One side of the story.” Just as I finished my words, those people, who were probably tired of beating Liu Hu, dispersed and crouched down beside us to listen to our chat.
Liu Hu’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, and he was actually holding his knees, crying and screaming for his mother on the side.
I just swept a glance at him and he was so scared that he shrank into a corner one by one.
I said to Old Qiu, “So, you Red Lantern Society and the Green Dragon Gang are in the same boat?”
“D*mn it, it’s more than that! You don’t know, we used to get along well with the Green Dragons, but I don’t know what’s going on, but the Green Dragons are always picking fights, and our brothers have been beaten up by them time and time again!”
I didn’t know anything about the triads, but I asked because I knew that Liu Hu was a member of the Green Dragons and I was trying to scare him.
Sure enough, Liu Hu was already lifeless, probably because he had never revealed his identity and Old Qiu hadn’t really cleaned him up yet. Old Qiu is the one who let the Green Dragon Gang in, if he knew he was from the Green Dragon Gang, he would still have to remove one of his legs!
Liu Hu’s lips kept trembling, not knowing when I would reveal his identity. I want him to be afraid, the sword hanging over his head will not fall to the ground, this kind of psychological fear can make him go crazy.
I know it’s a perverted idea, but I’m sorry, I’ll never be magnanimous with Liu Hu! He’s done me in for life.
As expected, Old Qiu and I had been talking about the Green Dragon Gang, and I was looking straight at Liu Hu, who had read my eyes and was waiting to die, but the beheading sword just wouldn’t fall, and he was going crazy.
“Hey, I heard that it’s the one surnamed Jiang who has returned.”
My face was as normal, my psyche thumped, this ginger guy, was it Jiang Ming?
Old Qiu said, “I’ve heard that too, it’s very possible again. Last time I met Jin Laoshi, he said openly that their big brother Jiang Ming was back and that he was a ruthless character, so the city would not be peaceful for a while.”
I couldn’t help asking, “Who is this Jiang Ming?”
“You don’t know, little brother Chao, Jiang Ming was the boss of Tong City, a kind of prince party. Later on, he left and came to Tong City, and the power of Tong City was divided into two, the Green Dragon Gang and the Red Lantern Gang. The Green Dragon Gang was a group formed by the original leader of the city, while the Red Lantern Club was a group of good men who were not used to the dominance of the Green Dragon Gang. In the beginning, there were conflicts, but they were later mediated by a few respected people in the jianghu area, and they have been able to keep their waters to themselves. At the beginning of this year, there were rumours that Jiang Ming had come back and wanted to take Tongcheng back into his hands.
The rest of the men echoed the sentiment, but Liu Hu didn’t even dare to say anything.
I nodded superficially, but in my heart I didn’t really believe Old Qiu’s words, they were all triad members, the elder brother was just laughing at the second brother.
But I was afraid that Jiang Ming’s position could not be faked, as the people from the Red Lantern Club said so, and the people from the Green Dragon Gang also said so.
Jiang Ming is now so powerful that he can stir up a storm in the city, and he used to be even more powerful than he is now. Not really. Chen Yu Zhou was only jealous of me and wanted to kill me. Would Jiang Ming be more generous than Chen Yu Zhou.
A thought that had been pushed to the back of my mind by chores came up again at this time.
Was what happened to my dad an accident, or was it man-made?
“Why did this Jiang Ming, back then, leave Tong City?” I asked.
Da Qiu shook his head and said, “I don’t know, just suddenly he left, it was said that he got into trouble and was arranged to go out by his family’s old man.”
“When did he leave the city of Tong?” I asked again.
“It’s been so many years, I can’t really remember. Besides, Jiang Ming was so low key during that time, I, I hadn’t even made my debut then ……”
Da Qiu’s words dodged, probably because a small-time gangster like him could not reach a city bully like Jiang Ming, but he represented the Red Lantern Society today, so how could he have the heart to grow the ambition of the Green Dragon Gang and destroy the prestige of the Red Lantern Society in front of me?
I didn’t point out the embarra*sing aspect of the big feud, nodded and then brushed the issue aside.
I didn’t expect that Big Qiu would take over and ask me instead, “Little brother Chao, why did you come in? Are you very interested in this Jiang Ming?”
I thought to myself that it was not good to ask too many questions and make Da Qiu suspicious, and that if word spread around the world, it would be bad if word got back to Jiang Ming’s ears and attracted his attention.
But when I looked at him again, I saw that Da Qiu had a complicated expression on his face, as if he was a bit scared and a bit nervous, so I understood at once that he didn’t suspect anything, he was afraid that he misunderstood me as a member of the Green Dragon Gang.
I stretched out and said, “I was framed to come in. I did what was right and injured a rich kid called Chen Yu Zhou, and his father was so powerful that he got me in.”
The first thing he did was to curse at the top of his lungs that the rich people were worse than dogs and pigs, and then he sighed and said, “There is an old saying in the city that it is better to mess with the King of Hell than with Chen. This Chen Yu Zhou, whose father’s name is Chen Ru Hai, is small-minded and poisonous, but he loves his precious son the most. You don’t know, this Chen Yu Zhou, even those of us who are in the jungle can’t stand it, he has done so many shameless things!”
Chen Yu Zhou’s character seemed to be very rubbish, and as soon as Da Qiu mentioned this, a few more people chimed in.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
After a while, it was Da Qiu who spat out a mouthful of spit and said, “What are you afraid of? We from the Red Lantern Society can still be afraid of such a villain?”
“I won’t talk about the ordinary bullying of men and women, there are 20 girls, if not 30, who have been spoiled by him. Of course, this kid will say that it’s free love and women are happy, so it’s not his fault to fool people. But you don’t know, last year, Chen Yu Zhou raped a girl who was pregnant with Chen Yu Zhou’s child. At that time, the girl reported to the police and sued Chen Yu Zhou for rape, and guess what the boy Chen said?”
I shook my head, not really interested in guessing such facts, but thinking about it, I knew that a few good words could come out of Chen Yuzhou’s mouth.
Before Da Qiu could open his mouth, a lean, monkey-like man next to him said, “You wouldn’t even think of it! Chen Yuzhou said that the woman was a lady, his friend who paid for a prostitute at the time, and that he did not have S*x with the woman. What’s even more strange is that all the evidence that was supposed to be handed over to the police has disappeared! Even if the victim had been raped, there was no way to prove that she had had S*x with Chen Yu Zhou because the injuries on her body could not be hidden.”
I was surprised: “He could erase the evidence he gave to the police?”
