Xiao Bai had just received a call from Feng Junzi, who told Xiao Bai that Liu Lao Da from the Hei Long Bang was going to bring a team of mummies to parade and that this would be an opportunity to give them a good beating. In his heart, he also suspected that this farce was orchestrated by Feng Junzi, but didn't say anything more about it. Instead, he asked: "Feng Xiansheng is also my elder, the other day all of your Hei Long Bang leaders hid, was it because Feng Xiansheng gave the signal? How come you guys didn't hide well and got caught in a pot instead? Don't keep secrets from me, tell me what really happened."
Liu Peifeng: "Miss Luo was frightened at that wedding, and as soon as she turned around, Mr. Feng called me and told me to be careful. My Iron Warriors had dragged the Black Dragon Gang into the muddy waters, so if we could avoid trouble, we would avoid it. I discussed with the seven Golden Warriors about leaving the city of Wuyou and hiding in a manor in the countryside, without contacting anyone outside. We thought nothing was wrong, but unexpectedly, Tai Sui Ye still found us."
Here is the translation:
Things were like this, Liu Peifeng brought the seven great golden warriors to hide in a farmhouse courtyard in Xiaohe Village. Every day was spent idly playing mahjong and raising wolf dogs, although it was dull, but also peaceful. That day, the farm slaughtered a sheep, and at night they prepared to drink mutton soup and eat roasted whole lamb. However, when they arrived at the dining hall, they found a note on the table: "Luoxi's bodyguard Bai Shaofeng has been injured, your Black Dragon Gang is also responsible for the trouble, go and explain things clearly to Little White Brother. Hurry up!"
Huajin Ganghua was the first to see the note, thinking it was a joke from one of her companions. She picked up the paper and read it out loud, then giggled and said: "Xiaobai Ge? I heard that Luoxue's personal bodyguard is very young and handsome. Do you want me to make a move, entice him until he's infatuated, and then he can call me 'mother' in the future?"
As soon as the words came out, a big disaster occurred. The two lamps in the dining hall were suddenly extinguished by flying hidden weapons, and then Huamu was slapped with a crisp slap in the darkness. Wu Dan, who had the highest kung fu skills, was still on guard and hadn't made a move when he was slapped on the back of his head and fell to the ground. Then, the sound of "ah" echoed continuously. When Liu Peifeng walked into the dining hall and lit the lighter, all seven of them were crying out in pain and lying on the ground, with the paper still on the table. Not only these seven were injured, but also Tie Jinguang, who was in the hospital, was mysteriously beaten up on the same day, and he got a big bump on his forehead, which made his iron head skills useless.
Liu Peifeng and others knew it was serious at the time, fortunately that person didn't have a murderous heart, otherwise they wouldn't know how their heads would be lost. Although they shouted "A man in Jianghu can't avoid being cut, face is more important than life!" But when it came to this point, their head was still more important than their face. That note wasn't a joke, and looking at the three words "Bai Shaofeng" again, his eyes became very big and thick, even behind his back he didn't dare say bad things anymore.
It seems that Liu Peifeng must show up to find the so-called "mysterious master" named Bai Shaoliu. Feng Junzi asked him to hide and avoid trouble, not to avoid the Wu You Xun capture team, but actually the capture team had already been settled, and the younger brother who injured the groom was arranged to surrender himself, leaving Liu Peifeng and others unrelated to the matter. The main reason for Liu Peifeng's hiding is two groups of people: one is Luo Shuihan, and the other is the real assassin who made a move at the wedding. Luo Shuihan may use the Black Dragon Gang as a scapegoat to kill the chicken and warn the monkey, while the other group of unknown assassins may also find the Black Dragon Gang to cut off the trail and let them take the blame.
Now that he was forced out of hiding, Liu Peifeng was also worried, so he specially called Feng Junzi. As a result, after hearing about this matter, Feng Junzi told Liu Peifeng on the phone that this time he had offended Tai Sui and couldn't help him either. However, he gave Liu Peifeng a suggestion: since he had to show his face, he might as well make a public appearance that would attract people's attention, dress up the injured Eight Great Golden Warriors in a pitiful manner, and push them around in wheelchairs to parade through the streets. Liu Peifeng understood Feng Junzi's meaning and did so.
"Then you don't have to make such a big deal out of it either, can't even bandage uniformly like a uniform?"
Liu Peifeng: "Mr. Feng taught me a long time ago that for a loose organization to form internal cohesion, many details must be paid attention to. Unified daily habits and action rules can produce a sense of identity and distinction from others... What's it called? You bookworms call it gang culture!"
Bai Shaofeng couldn't help but laugh: "You've misread the classics, but there's a use for that kind of misreading. How did you get involved with Mr. Feng? I don't think you two are even on the same wavelength."
Liu Peifeng let out a long sigh: "Thinking back to when I ran my own small company, taking on municipal engineering contracts but not getting paid on time, going bankrupt and shouldering a huge debt. I had no choice but to become a substitute taxi driver, working hard to scrape together enough money to support my family. One time, I got caught by the traffic police for operating outside of my designated area and was fined so heavily that I almost lost my pants... If Mr. Feng hadn't happened to hail my cab and pointed me in the right direction, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Liu Peifeng was about to launch into a long story when someone knocked on the door, interrupting him. The person didn't wait for an answer and pushed open the door, walking in. He wasn't tall but had a sturdy build, his feet making a whooshing sound as he stepped onto the floor. It was Luo Bing, the head of security for the Heluo Group. Behind him followed eight subordinates wearing security uniforms, marching in lockstep like a military unit. Luo Bing had been notified by Bai Shaoliu and had immediately rushed to the hospital with his men after hearing that Liu Lao Da was coming with his gang. However, upon arrival, he discovered that the Black Dragon Gang had come to "confess" collectively, which was also unexpected.
Luobing knew Liu Peifeng, as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Liu, what are you doing with that plane? When I was looking for you, you were nowhere to be found, and now you've popped up again? Who beat those eight bodyguards outside?"
Liu Peifeng answered irrelevantly: "Boss, it's still your Hualuo Group's gang culture that's done well, even walking is in the same rhythm."
Luobing laughed and said: "This is all trained in the army, what do you know?... All of you go out and close the door."
Only three people were left in the house, Luo Bing, Liu Peifeng and Bai Shaoliu. Outside the corridor, it was bustling with eight of Liu Peifeng's men in black suits, as well as eight wounded men wrapped like mummies sitting in wheelchairs, and now there were also eight security guards brought by Luo Bing. A total of twenty-four people stood along both sides of the wall, making a spectacular scene, which made the occasional passing doctors and nurses wonder what had happened, and they dared not ask more questions as they glanced over.
Luo Bing said in the ward: "Liu Lao Da, now that there's no one else around, if you have anything to fart about, hurry up and let it out."
Bai Shaofeng called out: "Boss, don't be so angry. The one who injured Old Liu's underling was a friend of mine, and it was also my friend who forced him to come here. However, I can't handle the Black Dragon Society's affairs; you should take care of the He Luo Group's side."
Luobing was taken aback: "Young man, your friend has a big nerve! ... Old Liu, I believe the Black Dragon Gang doesn't have the guts to lay hands on Miss Luo. What's going on with Tie Jingang?"
Liu Peifeng took out a thick cowhide package and stepped forward, placing it on the bed: "It really has nothing to do with me, this money is also here, Master Zong please count it."
Luobing opened it and saw that it was a neat 400,000 in cash. He cursed, "What do you mean? You think you can buy out the Heluo Group with 400,000? Why don't you add some more money and buy out the entire Wuyou City?!... I'm not buying this!"
Liu Peifeng hastily explained: "This is the small concubine of Tie Jinguang who spit it out, someone first transferred 200,000 yuan to his account, and then called him to tell him that as long as he overturned the table where Luo Miss was sitting at the wedding, he would be fine, and after he did it, another 200,000 yuan would be given to him. ... This time the table wasn't overturned, but Bai Mr. beat someone half stupid, and another 200,000 yuan came in. I only know this much, the person brought money, you deal with it, Master."
Luó Bīng: "What's important isn't money, what else is?"
Liu Peifeng: "The money shop account, the debit note, and the receipt are all in the paper package. We can only find out this much."
Luo Bing: "Mr. Liu, if Luo has already spoken, it's certain that he will take down your Black Dragon Society. You should thank Xiao Bai and his friends this time, even though they beat you up, perhaps it was also a way to save you once. When we leave later, no one is allowed to sit in the car, use wheelchairs to push back home!...You go out first and wait in the corridor, I'll lead you all out of the hospital in an orderly fashion!"
Liu Peifeng left after going out, Xiao Bai asked Luo Bing: "Master, how can you say that I saved the Black Dragon Society once?"
"Someone like Mr. Luo, who has a big family and business, would never go around killing people for no reason, but when something happens, he can't be soft either. Even if the person who really laid hands on Miss Luo wasn't from the Black Dragon Gang, Iron Gold was involved, so if we don't take care of the Black Dragon Gang this time, it's hard to guarantee that other gangs won't participate in similar things next time. So for Miss Luo's peace and to show the attitude of the Luo family, it's possible that they'll really be taken down, there's no other reason to explain... Now it's good, one by one they're being paraded through the streets like rice dumplings, the news has spread, lessons have been learned, warnings have been given, and more importantly, the key people have been subdued, Mr. Luo can ignore them now. And that other group probably doesn't need to find Black Dragon Gang for anything else... Let's regain face in the underworld after it's been lost."
"How did I subdue them?"
Luobing laughed: "You haven't been in the Taoist circle, you don't understand the rules. After this matter, either they will make you one of them, or they have to acknowledge your status as a respected elder... I think they all admire you now, and I also admire you, who is that friend of yours?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Don't ask about that anymore, it's inconvenient to mention the person's identity. What about this money? Should we hand it over to the police station?"
Luobing frowned, holding the money: "What did you tell the police? Someone spent 4 million to hire Tie Jinguang to flip a table? Cheating labor prices and disrupting market economic order, we saw injustice and collected it?"
"Then let's leave it to Mr. Luo?"
Luobing: "Do you think Mr. Luo will want these 400,000?"
Bai Shaofeng smiled: "Well, in that case, should I return it to the Black Dragon Society? - That doesn't seem quite right either. Well, Master, you might as well take it."
Luobing: "The money on your bed is yours, you handled the matter, deal with it as you like."
Bai Shaofeng thought for a moment, this money really can't be handled. He's not a greedy person, but he's also not someone who doesn't love money, and he's not so rigidly principled either. Since that's the case, just leave it for now. Bai ate first and then said, "Let's split it in half to begin with, I'll take 2 million and you take 2 million, anyway we won't sever our relationship because of this. Take the money and spend it however you want, even if you want to donate it to the Dream Project, when Mr. Luo returns to the country I'll tell him about it."
Luobing: "Xiaobai, what's going on? You've mastered this set so quickly? Not easy at all!"
Bai Shaofeng looked at Luo Bingdao and said, "I won't give it to you, you wouldn't want it, but if I wanted to give it to you, you wouldn't refuse either. This amount of money can't move you, but having you would make me very happy... Am I right? Don't lie to me, General, you will accept it." During their conversation earlier, Bai Shaofeng had sensed the emotions in General's heart clearly and directly spoke out his guess.
Luobing took the money: "Xiaobai, dealing with someone like you doesn't seem to require beating around the bush. You don't give me anything, it's fine, but if you split it with me, I'd be pretty happy too!... The person who secretly harmed Luo Xiaojie, what would their reaction be if they knew this money ended up in our hands?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Can the information Liu Peifeng gave you find out who did it?"
Luobing: "Of course, we can't find anything from here, but if there's a suspect, we can still find evidence from that end... You don't need to worry about this matter, actually, I've already got a pretty good idea who did it in my heart. Whether there's evidence or not is not important for now... Take care of your injury, I'll personally lead the team of mummies downstairs and let everyone see them, which can also be considered as putting an end to the Black Dragon Society's affairs."
Luobing had just stuffed 200,000 yuan into his pocket and was about to leave when the door opened and someone rushed in, almost colliding with him. Luckily, Luobing's reflexes were quick and he sidestepped, grabbing onto the person for support. The newcomer was Zhuang Ru; she had seen the large crowd outside Bai Shaoliu's hospital room from the corridor and thought something had happened to him, so she rushed in. Seeing that Bai Shaoliu was sitting calmly inside, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, panting: "Bai Shaoliu, what's going on outside? Are you okay?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Zhuang Jie, don't worry about me, I'm fine. Even if something happens, it's a good thing, not a bad one."
On the other side, Luo Bing said goodbye and left. The sound of footsteps and wheelchair came from outside, gradually fading away and returning to silence. Zhuang Ru saw the 200,000 cash on the bed at a glance, and asked in surprise: "Xiao Bai, what's this money?"
Bai Shaofeng didn't tell the truth: "This is a bonus, this time to comfort my injury, and also to commend me for risking my life to protect Miss Luo. And I'll tell you some good news, we've bought the medicine we were looking for, it will be delivered this afternoon, in that white porcelain bottle on the tea table."
Zhuang Ru heard this and was overjoyed. She picked up the white porcelain bottle and asked: "It's actually so soon? How much does this medicine cost?"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's really not cheap, this bottle costs 300,000! But things are convenient, just when I was about to spend money, I got 2 million. Zhuang Jie, can you help me take this money and open a separate savings account? Also, put 300,000 in cash into this bank account... Forget it, you're not feeling well now, I'll do it myself after I'm discharged from the hospital." Little White handed the money to Zhuang Ru's hand while sitting on the bed.
Zhuang Ru didn't take the money, her face slightly pale, staring at the money Xiao Bai handed over, suddenly spaced out, as if recalling a sad past event. Xiao Bai's hand, stretched out and paused in mid-air, also froze, not expecting his unintentional simple action to have such a huge impact on Zhuang Ru, he felt that her inner world was very complicated, with shame, sadness, the feeling like when he recalled doing something wrong as a child and regretted it deeply.
"Zhuang sister, what's wrong?" Xiaobai asked carefully.
Zhuang Ru snapped back to reality, shook her head and said: "Nothing, I'll help you take this money home first, it's not safe to leave it in the hospital room. Give me that account number too, I'll transfer the money over."
Xiao Bai understood her idea and smiled: "Then, Sister Zhuang, you can handle it yourself. If it's not enough, you can borrow from me."
Zhuang Ru: "I still have 30,000 yuan in savings, don't forget that my income is not bad now, the money you helped me get back from the bank has not been spent yet... thank you!"
Zhuang Ru suddenly felt sad and ashamed, with a hint of being touched by the scene. Xiao Bai vaguely understood something and changed the subject: "Sister Zhuang, what were you holding when you entered the ward? You almost knocked it over just now!"
Zhuang Ru picked up the thermos from the bedside table: "This is the bone soup I stewed when I got home today, it's said that drinking bone soup can help repair damaged tendons and bones."
Bai Shaoliu: "I didn't hurt any bones, just flesh and skin."
Zhuang Ru: "That's right, I'll make you a stewed trotter soup tomorrow, with skin and meat. I saw that you're walking normally on the ground today, your injury has healed quickly!"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's very soon, when the doctor comes for rounds, I'll ask to be discharged tomorrow."
Zhuang Ru: "What's the hurry? I heard that the He Luo Group gave you a month off."
"I want to go to the horse racing track, even if I have to sit in a wheelchair."
"Even if you can walk now, you still can't ride a horse, what are you going to the stable for?"
Bai Shaofeng: "Not going for a horse ride, but to take a look at a donkey."
……
"Xiao Bai, how come you're only arriving now! And you're still using a crutch... Wait a minute, what's that in your hand? Shen Xiao!" White Hair rushed over to Xiao Bai in the stable like he had seen a savior, but his words were cut off halfway as he suddenly took a step back and asked in surprise.
