Chapter 42: The Overbearing Seventh Brother!

  Chapter 42: The Overbearing Seventh Brother!

  Chu Nan and Wang Hu ate meat in big mouthfuls and drank wine in big gulps. Wang Hu's physique was robust, and his capacity for liquor was also quite impressive, as he poured bottle after bottle into his belly without showing any signs of intoxication.

  Wu Pei and Ling Luo Xi quietly listened to Wang Hu telling his past while eating their fill beside them.

  Originally, Wang Hu had opened a restaurant in his hometown and lived a pretty good life with his wife and son. However, he liked making friends and had made some sworn brothers. No matter which brother was rich or having trouble, he would always be willing to help out. He was quite famous locally and the brothers all called him "Tiger Brother". Two years ago, several of his brothers provoked the local underworld forces and were beaten up by them. At that time, Wang Hu timely stepped in and saved one of his brother's life.

  Unexpectedly, because of accidentally injuring a trusted aide of the underworld big brother, the other side's underworld big brother was furious and insisted on putting the injured person to death. At that time, it was chaotic, no one knew who had moved their hands, but Wang Hu was splashed with dirty water by those few brothers, and under duress, Wang Hu took his wife and children and escaped.

  When Wang Hu finished speaking, Chu Nan slapped his palm on the table and sneered: "Faithless and shameless, worse than pigs and dogs!"

  Wang Hu took a big gulp of beer and said loudly, "Hey, those people are afraid of death when the time comes, I don't blame them. This matter must have someone to take responsibility for it. Originally, I was also thinking of taking on this responsibility myself, and then bringing my wife back home with me. But unexpectedly, they pushed it onto me first. And I heard that after I escaped with my wife, the underworld big brother over there still directed his anger at them, and those people were dismembered and thrown into the river."

  Ling Luo Creek coquettishly said: "Not talking about righteousness, this is also considered retribution."

  Wang Hu's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, he raised the wine bottle and gulped down two more mouthfuls, then put down the bottle and sighed: "This matter can't be blamed on anyone, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Chu brothers, this Seventh Brother is not someone to be trifled with!"

  Chu Nan picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, laughing: "Oh? I just arrived in Jiangwan City, I don't understand yet, why don't you tell me about it."

  Wang Hu shook his head and said: "I don't know much about it either, but all the vendors in this area know Seventh Brother."

  "Look, this night market has vendors selling goods and food, with several hundred stalls in total. Every month, aside from paying stall fees, they also have to pay protection fees to Seventh Brother. And that's not all - apparently, the entire Jiangbei District is Seventh Brother's territory! Hey, I heard that the population of just one district in Jiangbei is many times larger than our hometown county!"

  "In Chu Nan's eyes, a few cold stars twinkled: "I didn't expect to be such a formidable boss, hey, I really want to see what it's all about.""

  Wang Hu's eyes showed admiration, and he gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you're the most daring man I've ever seen. Just for this, I admire you!"

  Wu Pei said beside him, "I'm afraid this Seventh Brother is more formidable than you think. He's the only big mix in Jiangbei District, with over 300 men under his command. Moreover, he has set up a decoration company and has contracted all the decoration business in Jiangbei District."

  "Impossible? Industry monopoly?"

  Wu Pei exclaimed: "That's right, it's industry monopoly! Hehe, he is a black way, even if doing white way business, can't avoid using black way means. If someone decorates their house or store without finding their company, once they find out, they will go and smash the person's house or store, and then let the other party spend money to find them to redecorate again!"

  "Good job, Seventh Brother!" Chu Nan said with a cold smile.

  "Jiangwan City has a total of seven districts, each with a big shot. Among all the big shots, Seventh Brother is the most overbearing, Big Tooth Brother is the cruelest, Poisonous Snake is the most sinister, and Hua Linglong is the prettiest."

  "Where is Eighth Master?"

  "Eight Grandfather?" Wu Pei's eyes showed a hint of reverence, "He has already bid farewell to the ordinary big mixed son's level. Jiangwan City has seven districts, but Eight Grandfather's power does not belong to any district. His power belongs to the entire Jiangwan City! All the docks in Jiangwan City, the largest trading market, the largest construction company, all are his industries. None of his subordinates are called mixed sons, they are all well-trained security guards. However, everyone knows that these so-called security guards are actually Eight Grandfather's henchmen. If these henchmen gather together, there will be at least 400 to 500 people. The key is that these people are all well-trained, even if it's 400 people, they can match the six or seven hundred people of other big mixed sons!"

  Chu Nan's eyes revealed a solemn expression, the first time since arriving in Jiangwan City. Four or five hundred thugs might not be scary, but four or five hundred well-trained fighters were terrifying!

  At this time, the boss's wife brought over all the roasted meat skewers. Even at this moment, the boss's wife still had a smile on her face: "Big brother and two big sisters, you quickly eat while it's hot."

  "That's enough!" Wang Hu looked at his wife and said, "Take these two sisters away and find a place to hide... Wait for news from me and Chu brother. If there is no news, try to get as far away as possible."

  Wang Hu's wife's body trembled, hesitated and opened her mouth. Although she had always been supporting her husband, at this time as a wife and as a mother of children, she still had the intention to persuade her husband to leave. She could live without a husband, if her husband died, she would also die, but the child couldn't be without parents!

  However, she hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. She was just an ordinary woman who understood one principle: since she had married this man, she should love him with all her heart and tolerate him.

  Men like Wang Hu are admirable, but women like Wang Shi are even more touching!

  Wang looked at Wu Pei and Ling Luo Xi, saying: "Two sisters, I'll take you away!"

  "Big brother, it's those few people!" Not far away, a dense crowd of people surged towards this place, the surrounding stalls quickly packed up and left in a hurry, and the people who were strolling through the night market also scattered in all directions. Normally, watching the commotion was fine, but this kind of melee wasn't something to watch for fun, one careless move could get oneself hurt. In the blink of an eye, except for Chu Nan's three men and Wang Hu's couple, the entire street was surrounded by hundreds of burly men who had closed in on them.

  There were over a hundred people, some with bare arms and tattoos; others had hair dyed in five colors and six colors, and their clothes were also five colors and six colors. Some had cigarettes in their mouths and wooden sticks or machetes in their hands. However, Chu Nan's gaze fell on one person - the man standing in the middle, a thirty-year-old man of medium build wearing a black leather jacket.

  This middle-aged man is about 1.7 meters tall, slightly thin, wearing a black leather jacket, with a pair of black leather gloves on his hands, and a burning cigarette between his fingers. His eyebrows are extremely thick, like carved, with a slightly pointed face, and his eyes have a fierce look.

  Several big men moved a chair behind him, and the man sat down, raised his legs, and the crowd of younger brothers behind him shouted in unison: "Seventh Brother! Seventh Brother!" The sound shook the sky.

  Wang's face showed a hint of anxiety and worry, Wang Long stood up, gently hugged his wife, kissed her forehead, and whispered in a voice that only the two could hear: "If something unfortunate happens today, I'm sorry to you and our child, I'll make it up to you in the next life!"

  Wang's family barely held back tears and responded with a faint "uh-huh" through her nose.

  Chu Nan, Ling Luo Xi and Wu Pei were deeply moved by this scene.

  Wu Pei suddenly stood up and walked forward, looking at Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother immediately got up, surprised and said: "Wow, isn't this Director Wu? What wind brought you here? How did you end up sitting here?"

  Wu Bei looked at Seventh Brother and said, "Seventh Brother, the person you had was beaten by my people, so if there's any score to settle, just put it on me, Wu Bei. Let these people behind me go."

  Seventh Brother sat back again, took a deep drag on his cigarette, shook his head and said: "Director Wu, you're not an ordinary person in Jiangwan City, I don't dare to touch you!"

  Wu Pei said coldly: "Since it's like this, then let us leave together!"

  "This won't do!" Seventh Brother sneered, saying, "Director Wu, as a businessman, you should understand that without rules and regulations, nothing can be accomplished! The business world has its own set of rules, the official world has its own set of rules, and our Dao also has its own set of rules!"

  "What are the rules of our business? What are the rules of your Tao?"

  "Hey, I don't understand your rules, probably it's an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and paying back debts!"

  "What about your rules?" Wu Pei asked again.

  "Our rules are simple." Qī Gē's eyes flashed with a fierce and ruthless color, "Kill someone and the whole family will be executed! Those who owe debts will use their houses as compensation!"

  Wu Pei's heart felt a chill, Seventh Brother was really ruthless.

  "Although this may not be the rules of the Tao, it is my own rule! My rule is the rule of the entire Jiangbei District, so people here must follow it, and all those who come here must also follow it!"

  Big Brother Seven stretched out his hand behind him, and a younger brother handed him a machete. Big Brother Seven weighed the machete in his hand, with an air of arrogance, saying: "Chairman Wu is a respected figure in Jiangwan City, and I, Big Brother Seven, also admire the Wu family, so I'll give Chairman Wu some face. Today, my rules will be changed!"

  Seventh Brother's machete pointed at the people behind Wu Pei, coldly saying: "Who among you beat up my brother? Who cut off Baldy's three fingers? Come out yourself, I don't want his life, I just want his two hands!"

  Hundreds of piercing eyes behind Qiye simultaneously turned to Chu Nan and a few others, Wang Hu let go of his wife in his arms and took a step forward!
