Chapter 280 The transformation of old friend

About half an hour later, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a beige suit and a silver tie and a slightly fat figure hurried in.

This person Zhang Haotian knew Duan Jingrui, the general manager of "Empress Nightclub". They met several times, but they didn't talk much.

Duan Jingrui came in and saw Zhang Haotian. He immediately smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, what wind blows you? You are such a rare guest."

Zhang Haotian knew that although Duan Jingrui was not like Shang Yulin in the past, he was the head of the Sanlian Gang and the general manager of the "Empire Nightclub", he was definitely the leader of the Sanlian Gang. He immediately stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand, and said, "I am not going to go to the Sanbao Temple for nothing. Mr. Duan, don't you know that Fang is not convenient to talk alone?"

Duan Jingrui stared at him for a while, as if guessing his intentions. Then, with a wave of his hand, the young men in the room went out, but they did not close the door when they stood outside the door, obviously they were still guarding against him.

Sitting on the sofa with Duan Jingrui, Zhang Haotian didn't say much, and said directly: "Mr. Duan, I'm here to negotiate with your gang."

When Duan Jingrui heard the word "Gui Gang", he did not deny it and just said, "Oh, what do you want to talk about?"

Zhang Haotian immediately said: "The interests, the interests between the Sanlian Gang and me, I have decided to withdraw from City C and return Ye Tiantang to the Su family. I will never ask about the matter on the road, but the only condition is that I need you to ensure the safety of the nightclubs and casinos in our county."

Duan Jingrui suddenly burst into laughter when he heard this, and then laughed, his face turned gloomy, staring at him and said, "Mr. Zhang, your conditions are really interesting, but as far as I know, you no longer have the capital to negotiate terms with us. Last time you were lucky enough to win once, because the Sanlian Gang had something important to do and did not want to cause trouble. The situation is different now. To be honest, the gang is secretly mobilizing people to come over, and he has also talked to some elder brothers in City C to let them recognize the situation. Mr. Zhang, to be honest, you have no chance of winning this time, so you are not qualified to negotiate terms with us."

As soon as he said that, Zhang Haotian also laughed and said, "Yes, I know that after the Sanlian Gang and Wanhong Gang signed a ceasefire agreement, they can completely draw strength to deal with me. With my strength, of course, I will not be your opponent, but your gang may have forgotten the most important point."

Seeing Zhang Haotian's fearless smile facing the disadvantage, Duan Jingrui's eyes flashed and he said, "Tell me, have we forgotten that little bit?"

Zhang Haotian immediately said: "My identity, since your gang knows everything about me, don't you know that I have returned from G Province this time, my identity is a little different from the past. I am no longer alone, fighting alone."

Duan Jingrui's pupils contracted and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, Wanhong Gang."

Zhang Haotian smiled and nodded and said, "Of course it's the Wanhong Gang. Don't forget that I am the Hongqi Master of Wanhong Gang. If the Sanlian Gang wants to touch me, I have to ask whether Wanhong Gang will agree."

Duan Jingrui stopped talking and began to be silent, as if thinking about something.

Zhang Haotian took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth and smoked it, not interrupting his meditation. Although the Wanhong Gang did not have the rules for fighting in other provinces, and whether it was the "Tianhong Nightclub" or the big and small casinos in Hu Qing's hands were their own business, and the chance of Wanhong Gang intervening was very small. However, this is the only trump card he could play. The four "Tianhong Nightclubs" had just opened and the cost had not been recovered. Hu Qing's hundreds of casinos of all sizes were making continuous investments every day. He withdrew from City C. If he lost these two businesses, the loss would be great.

After thinking for a while, Duan Jingrui smiled again and looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhang, it seems that you want to use the Wanhong Gang to threaten us. The Wanhong Gang will not compete with others in other provinces. Who doesn't know about this? I don't think it will make an exception for you."

Zhang Haotian said "Yes" and said, "The Wanhong Gang rarely fights with others in other provinces, but it's not just you who will make an exception for me? When I came, I had called Mr. Longtou. What he meant, I think I can only tell your boss."

Although Duan Jingrui was not very clear about Zhang Haotian's situation in the Wanhong Gang, he understood that being able to be the fourth Mr. Hongqi at his age was naturally not that simple. He also knew the consequences of bringing the Wanhong Gang's power to City C. His face became more and more calm. After a while, he nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, you know, I am just a messenger. What you mean, I will tell you. As for whether they agree to your conditions, I can't guarantee it."

Zhang Haotian smiled slightly, stood up, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Mr. Duan, I know this, so please give me a message, I hope you can get your answer as soon as possible."

Duan Jingrui agreed and ordered two young men to send Zhang Haotian down.

When he returned to the car, Zhang Haotian did not drive immediately. The first thing he did was to call Qi Yinghang.

After hearing Qi Yinghang's response, Zhang Haotian immediately told him what he talked to Duan Jingrui.

After hearing this, Qi Yinghang was silent for a while and said, "Haotian, do you want me to give me any hints to the Sanlian Gang?"

Zhang Haotian said: "Uncle Longtou is extremely wise, you guessed it before I even said it."

Qi Yinghang immediately said: "You boy, don't flatter me, you know you will drag me out, but to keep your business, this is the only thing that can make the Sanlian Gang afraid of. You still want to get this trick."

Zhang Haotian heard Qi Yinghang's tone and knew that he had agreed. He felt relieved and immediately smiled: "Actually, this is an empty city plan. Master Longtou, you just need to open your mouth and say a few words to let the people of the Sanlian Gang know that you are very concerned about the situation in City C."

Qi Yinghang said on the phone: "Are you so sure that the Sanlian Gang will agree to you?"

Zhang Haotian responded and said, "Of course, as long as the Sanlian Gang mobilizes its strength and controls C City, it will be no suspense. However, if the Wanhong Gang participates in the competition, and with my current power, they are not even half of it, so they will never take this risk. Moreover, I have given up the urban area of ​​C City, and Ye Tiantang will inevitably be swallowed up. In addition, I want to establish a poison net, which has huge profits. My business in the county can be kept within one or two years, and it is hard to say what the situation will be if it is one or two years later."

Of course, Qi Yinghang knew that his analysis would not be wrong, so he didn't mention this matter again, but his tone sank: "Haotian, what happened to the two women who made a big fuss at the birthday party that day for you?"

Zhang Haotian didn't want to hide it, so he said, "One of them is called Shangguan Yumei and the other is called Xia Ling'er. They were all met by me in City C. They are very nice to me. They are also taught by Mr. Longtou at the birthday party."

Qi Yinghang snorted and said, "I don't want to know how these two women are doing with you in the past, but now my daughter is dating you, I will never allow you to have any relationship with other women. You must solve this problem for me. If Jingru suffers any grievances, I can't spare you."

Listening to Qi Yinghang's tone, Zhang Haotian understood that he loved his daughter very much, but he could not accept such orders without any room for negotiation. He couldn't help but say, "Master Longtou, I know those two women in front and Jingru behind, and those two women have no regrets. Among the rules of the Wanhong Gang, the most important thing is the word benevolence and righteousness. I really can't do things without benevolence and righteousness."

Qi Yinghang's tone was obviously a little angry and said, "You little brat, you actually used the Wanhong Gang's gang rules to tell me about it. Is it very good to be eloquent?"

Zhang Haotian didn't want to anger the Longtou Master, and his voice slowed down: "Defender Longtou Master, you are young, and you also have Aunt Wan. If someone didn't allow you to date Aunt Wan at that time, could you do it? It was my fault for Jingru's thing, and she was also a good girl. Her advantages were even those who were fathers who didn't know. I would treat her well, but I wouldn't hurt other women just because she was your daughter."

Qi Yinghang's elegant appearance was. When he was forty, he could make Tang Wan, who was only over 20 years old at the time, fell in love with him at first sight. When he was young, he naturally had countless emotional entanglements. How could he not know about Zhang Haotian's situation? Zhang Haotian's words seemed to remind him of some of the past when he was young. After a while, he sighed and said, "Forget it, as long as you are responsible for Jingru, you can handle the rest yourself. I still said that you can't let Jingru suffer grievances, otherwise I will definitely take care of it."

Zhang Haotian agreed and then said, "By the way, how is Jingru now?"

Qi Yinghang hummed again and said, "This child has a good depression, but he has a lovesickness. When she heard from her mother, she would suddenly giggle when sitting alone. She talked about you all day long. She wanted to come to find you, but I told her that she would soon promote you. If others know about your relationship with me, I am afraid there will be some trouble. For your future, of course she can only control herself and will not contact you during this period. Now she learns to make soup with her mother at home every day, saying that she wants to be a good wife. Haotian, Haotian, if you are sorry for Jingru, I will really tear you to pieces."

Qi Jingru came from a famous family and was of the best in terms of appearance and figure. She was so dedicated to herself, which was really a blessing from his previous life. Zhang Haotian's heart was filled with heat and he just whispered: "Don't worry."

After hearing this, Qi Yinghang did not continue to mention his daughter, but said, "The situation in S City is also changing, Duanmu Li is starting to get tight. The headquarters is discussing sending people to reinforce. I will raise your affairs in the afternoon. If nothing unexpected happens, you will rush to S City City within half a month. The problem of C City is solved as soon as possible. On the Sanlian Gang, I will make someone to pass the message. I believe they will take the initiative to negotiate with you soon."

Speaking of this, he hung up the phone, and Zhang Haotian also put his cell phone in his arms, started the car, and headed out of the parking lot.

Zhang Haotian was waiting, and two days later, he received a call from Duan Jingrui and asked him to have dinner at "Huxinting" in the evening.

Zhang Haotian has been to the "Huxin Pavilion". In the western suburbs more than 20 miles away from the city, there is an artificial lake. A hotel called "Jiangcheng Fisherman" has built more than ten pavilions in the lake. The food is mainly fish and the taste is good. The most important thing is the beautiful scenery. It is the best to go in spring and summer.

As it was almost evening, Zhang Haotian drove to the "Huxin Pavilion". As soon as he arrived at the hotel parking lot, he saw Duan Jingrui and two young men waiting there.

Seeing him getting off the car, Duan Jingrui walked over and shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have brought what you said that day. Now one of the envoys in our gang wants to talk to you, please come with me."

Zhang Haotian also expected that he would not be the protagonist today. He nodded and followed him to the artificial lake outside the hotel.

This artificial lake is about a hundred acres wide. A veranda was built toward the center of the lake with stone piles, and then it was connected in a total of fifteen pavilions of different sizes. The largest pavilion only had three tables of banquets, but most of the guests who came here were small gatherings, and three tables of banquets were enough.

Duan Jingrui did not lead Zhang Haotian to the big pavilion, but led him to a small pavilion on the far left. Looking from a distance, he saw four young men in black suits standing outside the pavilion. There was a person sitting in the pavilion, but his vision was blocked by the four men and he couldn't see it clearly for a moment.

Not long after, he walked outside the pavilion. A man stopped Zhang Haotian, searched him, nodded, and the rest made way.

Duan Jingrui said to Zhang Haotian: "Mr. Zhang, go to the pavilion. That is the special envoy sent by our gang. As long as he agrees to your conditions, there will be no problem."

Zhang Haotian nodded and walked forward with a big stride. After walking for only more than twenty meters, he entered the pavilion, but saw a sumptuous banquet had been set up inside.

At this time, his eyes gathered on the east side of the pavilion, with him on his back, standing with a man in a gray-blue suit with a medium figure and a little thin, as if he was a little fascinated by the view outside the pavilion.

Zhang Haotian knew that this person must be the special envoy from the Sanlian Gang, so he said loudly: "Friend, although the scenery outside is good, the food is cold, so I'm afraid it's not easy to drink, so I'd better sit down and talk."

The man did not turn around, but sighed and said, "In the confinement room of Qin'anshan Prison, you can even eat cold rice and rotten rice. Can't you still eat these cold dishes?"

When Zhang Haotian heard this sound, his body shook violently and could no longer help it. He strode over and looked at the man's side. Then he screamed in disbelief: "Zhihua, it's you."

At this moment, the man had slowly turned his head, with fair skin and beautiful eyebrows. It was not his friend Bai Zhihua in prison, but compared to the beginning, his eyebrows were much more mature.

Bai Zhihua looked at Zhang Haotian and smiled at him, but said in a deep voice: "Brother Tian, ​​whisper, don't let those outside know that I know you, otherwise your affairs will be more troublesome."

Zhang Haotian looked outside and saw Duan Jingrui had left. Only the four men were smoking and chatting more than twenty meters away. As long as they were not speaking too loudly, they could not hear it.

Bai Zhihua had already walked towards the dining table, then sat down, made a "please" hand gesture, and said to Zhang Haotian: "Brother Tian, ​​sit down first, let's chat slowly."

Zhang Haotian's tone of listening to Bai Zhihua's speech was much more mature and calm than before. He had heard of this tone, on the night of the explosion.

So he immediately sat next to Bai Zhihua, stared at him and said, "Zhihua, you called the phone number that night to save me, right? I couldn't even hear your voice."

Bai Zhihua smiled, and did not deny it, but said, "Brother Tian, ​​I have been separated from Qin'anshan Prison for about six years. I deliberately changed my voice at that time. Of course, you can't hear it on your phone in a hurry, but your changes are not small. It's cooler and more majestic than when I was in prison, and it's more like the boss."

Zhang Haotian immediately said: "Zhihua, why didn't you leave Zhu Er with the contact address when you were released from prison? Why did you join the Sanlian Gang again now?"

Bai Zhihua did not answer him immediately, but picked up a bottle of high-end liquor produced by C City and was very strong, filling himself and Zhang Haotian, touched him, and then drank it all, but a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying, "Since you were released from prison, Zhu Er became the boss. Although those prisoners did not dare to mess with me, they were laughing at me behind their backs. I didn't want to fight with them. Although I heard it, I could only pretend not to know. You will never understand the pain in your heart."

Bai Zhihua once was the "rabbit" of Thunder God. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Haotian fought with Thunder God and his group in anger. For a man, this is of course a shame that will never be washed clean in his life. Zhang Haotian could feel the scars in his heart, drank the wine in his hand, and sighed a long sigh: "Do you don't want to remember what happened in prison again after you are released from prison, so you have no way to contact me?"

Bai Zhihua gritted his teeth, poured the wine, drank it again, nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Tian, ​​although you are very nice to me in prison, I didn't want to see you at that time, including you, just think of a place where no one is, and start living again. No one knows that I have been a 'rabbit' and my asshole has been blooming."

When Zhang Haotian heard him say the past, he hurriedly said, "Zhihua, stop talking, Thor is dead. Let him go over this matter, there is no need to mention it."

Bai Zhihua shook his head and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you were wrong. At the beginning, I did think like you and wanted to forget all this, but later, I realized that since some things have happened, you will never forget in your life. Even the more you want to forget, the deeper the memory, the more painful it is in my heart, so I can only use one way to relieve my pain."

When Zhang Haotian saw Bai Zhihua's face twitching slightly, his eyes suddenly filled with vicious and violent aura, he immediately said: "What's the solution?"

Bai Zhihua sneered, and a cold light shot out in his eyes, saying, "Kill people. When I see those who are about to die begging hard in front of me and howling desperately in my ears, I can't express the excitement, slowly torture them, and feel that they are sharing my pain. The feeling is so wonderful, it's really wonderful."

Zhang Haotian felt a sudden nervous when he heard this. He knew that Bai Zhihua had changed, and he had indeed changed. He was changing from a somewhat cowardly and succumbing to violence to a vicious and perverted person who wanted to control the life and death of others. This was a terrible change, but he could no longer stop it.

After drinking a glass of wine silently, Zhang Haotian looked at Bai Zhihua and said, "You join the Sanlian Gang because the Sanlian Gang can provide you with many opportunities to excite you, right?"

Bai Zhihua nodded and said, "Yes, after I was released from prison, I went to G Province. With my lock-opening skills, I also brought a group of younger brothers out. Unexpectedly, I met the leader of the third gang. He appreciated my ability very much, so he brought me with me and asked me to learn marksmanship, blasting, poisoning, and learn all the skills that can cause abnormal deaths. Others call me "Scorpion King", which means that a sting can kill people. I like this nickname."
