Rebirth in Hong Kong as a hero

Chapter 170 The Way to Control People

"good."

After listening to Ji Bu's words, Aji nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down and take care of this matter right now."

"Right."

Ji Bu stopped Aji who was about to go out: "How has Tianhong been doing lately?!"

Since the last time Luo Tianhong was arranged to clean up A Hai's place, Ji Bu has not seen Luo Tianhong again.

"It's pretty good."

Aji made a simple comment and reported truthfully: "Tianhong has regained all the places where Zhongxinyi was robbed by others. Now it has resumed normal operations and maintained its previous status."

"I just heard yesterday that Tianhong's territory seems to have expanded a few times, and now he is very famous in the circle."

"Moreover, now that everyone knows that Tianhong is helping the boss, he is your red-flowered double stick, and we have a lot less trouble in our own field."

Aji sighed with some regret: "The reputation of Tianhong Vegetable Cutter has been completely established, so no one is willing to provoke us."

Ordinary small fights, as long as ordinary associations that do not involve firearms are not Luo Tianhong's opponents at all, and the interests are not unequal, there is no need to go against them.

Even bigger businesses, such as white powder and arms, are beyond the scope of such a small society.

There are a lot less things, which is naturally normal.

"hehe."

Ji Bu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and shook his head: "It seems that I have been blessed by Tianhong."

"ah?"

Aji was stunned when he heard this, looked at Ji Bu who was smiling slightly, and asked in an uncertain tone:

"What, what does the boss mean? We still have to keep an eye on Tianhong?!"

"No, no."

Ji Bu quickly shook his head and denied: "You don't have to misunderstand me. This sentence means literally, expressing satisfaction."

There was a pause.

He waved and said: "Well, you help me make an appointment with Tianhong, let's go have a barbecue together in the evening, and I'll talk to him about something."

"OK."

Aji nodded and left immediately.

"Has the power expanded?"

Ji Bu took a deep breath and stood up from his seat, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands on his hands, looking at the neon lights outside:

"It seems that Luo Tianhong is still capable. It just so happens that he can cooperate with me on this matter."

····

Ten o'clock in the evening.

A street-side barbecue stall on Taiping Road.

The business of the barbecue stall was good. At ten o'clock it was the time to serve people, and the seats in the room were basically full.

Several simple tables extending outside the store were also occupied, and everyone was drinking, eating, and chatting, and it was very lively.

Ji Bu was sitting against the wall inside the store, holding a cigarette in his left hand and looking at the menu in his right hand, and quickly ordered with the waiter next to him.

"That's it, thank you."

Ji Bu returned the menu to the waiter, pulled the ashtray in front of him, and saw Luo Tianhong appearing at the door:

"Tianhong, here."

It cannot be said that Ji Bu's eyesight is too good. The main reason is that Luo Tianhong is too eye-catching. Forget about his blue hair, the main reason is that the hairstyle is too arrogant.

His formal three-quarter hair style was specially shortened on both sides, and the bangs on his forehead were very long, hanging down to cover his eyes.

With the blessing of blue hair, he is very conspicuous. In addition, he is unsmiling. When he walks, his head is slightly lowered and a little more arrogant, making him look like he deserves a beating.

But the good thing is.

He didn't bring his Eight-sided Han Sword with him when he went out today.

otherwise.

If he were to walk outside with a Han sword, any patrol uniform would come up to him and ask for his ID.

"Boss Ji."

Luo Tianhong walked to Ji Bu's table, pulled out the stool and sat down sideways, with his left hand on the table. He took the red and white soft box Marlboro in front of Ji Bu with ease, took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth.

inside:

"You're so upbeat today that you invited me over for a late-night snack."

"hehe."

Ji Bu smiled and pushed the ashtray in front of him: "It's normal to have a late-night snack together. This is not because the New World opened a while ago. We are busy."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Tianhong: "Looks like he has lost weight. It seems that there are still a lot of loyal and trustworthy things recently."

Compared with the previous days, Luo Tianhong's originally round face was a bit thinner and looked more angular.

"hehe."

Luo Tianhong blew out the smoke, spread his hands and shrugged, "I didn't know before that I had to deal with so many things every day in a big business, and I didn't know how hard it was for Brother Long."

"That's for sure."

Ji Bu shook the ashes of his cigarette with his fingers nimbly and talked eloquently: "You thought the boss's position was so easy to sit in. Sitting in this position with so many people eating with you, do you want to relax? It's not that easy."

"You're pretty good now. Basically, you alone make the decision. There's not so much to talk about. It's your eldest brother Lian Haolong who really works hard."

He counted on his fingers: "Calculate for yourself how many people Lian Haolong has to talk things over. When there are more people, there will be more things to do. Not only do you have to maintain the relationship, but you also have to pay attention to everyone's status at all times, which is even more difficult."

"If you want to say it's difficult, it's much more difficult for him than for you."

He bared his teeth in a smile and joked in a relaxed tone: "I just don't understand why Lian Haolong has not lost any weight even though he is so busy. He is so wide and fat. You have only lost weight in just over half a month. Look.

Come on, you haven’t learned his essence yet.”

"Oh."

Luo Tianhong chuckled, shook his head with a smile, took a hard puff of the cigarette and blew out a puff of thick smoke.

He stared at Ji Bu for several seconds, frowning slightly with doubt in his eyes, and said in a pondering tone:

"Boss Ji, there are indeed many things about you that are different from others."

He leaned back and leaned his back against the seat: "I didn't know before, but now I seem to understand a little bit."

"I used to be very curious about why your team is so harmonious. Your people, Wuying, Aji, and Hua Tsai, all have different abilities, but they get along very harmoniously."

"But now I understand."

"oh?"

Ji Bu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "What do you understand and why do you say this?"

"You are good at controlling people."

Luo Tianhong took a puff of his cigarette, took the barbecue plate brought by the waiter and said "Thank you", then picked up the skewers inside and bit off a piece, chewing heavily:

"In other words, you are very good at getting along with others."

He looked up at Ji Bu and continued: "You saved me in the first place. To be honest, you just wanted to use me to do things for you."

"After I took back Zhongxinyi's territory, you did not interfere. You left these territories to me, Luo Tianhong, to take care of them myself."

"Even the name of the club is still Zhongxinyi. You never asked me, Luo Tianhong, to change Zhongxinyi's name. You don't seem to mind at all."

He swallowed the roast meat in his mouth, opened the beer in front of him, filled the cup in front of Ji Bu, poured it for himself, picked it up and took a big sip:

"At first, I just thought you were just pretending, and you would start taking action in a few days. But after half a month, you didn't care about me at all."

"Just now, I talked about Brother Long. Not only did you not mind at all, but you also talked to me about Brother Long very easily. This would never happen to others. Now I have begun to admire you a little.

You are."

"Haha, then I would like to thank you for the compliment?"

Ji Bu smiled and shook his head. He picked up the chopsticks without stretching them out to pick up the food: "If you want to understand me, you can't look at me with ordinary people's thinking."

"Although Lian Haolong and I were once rivals, this does not prevent me from evaluating him objectively. Everyone is here to make money, and their positions are just different. How I evaluate him is still how I evaluate him, and it has nothing to do with the position."

"As for you and me, we have a cooperative relationship to begin with, and we are not superior or subordinate. Zhongxinyi's territory is not suitable for integration into the territory of the New World, and I am not interested in Zhongxinyi's territory."

"You are a loyal and trustworthy person, so I will give you the land. Just give me the numbers every month."

"Similarly, Zhongxinyi's territory has been handed over to you, so does it matter what the club's name is? If you want to call it Zhongxinyi, then it will still be Zhongxinyi. There is nothing to say."

"..."

Ji Bu's answer made Luo Tianhong silent again for a while.

His attitude is too

Is it casual?

"you"

Luo Tianhong thought for a moment, and then asked: "Aren't you afraid that I, Luo Tianhong, will develop and betray you again?!"

"I think it must be a very uncomfortable thing for a wolf you have raised by yourself to turn around and bite you again."

"Then I have to tell you, you have to work harder."

Ji Bu bared his teeth and said in a teasing tone: "Based on your evaluation of me just now, it seems that the possibility of you biting me back again is not that great. My personality charm seems to have conquered you."

"Hehehe"

Luo Tianhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled slightly and looked at Ji Bu deeply, then picked up the wine glass and touched it with him.

He naturally knew that Ji Bu's so-called "my personality charm has conquered you" was just a joke.

Their current relationship is very subtle, but just right.

What Luo Tianhong dislikes the most is absolute control. Ji Bu is really good at controlling his own thoughts.

"Okay."

Ji Bu put down the wine glass in his hand: "Let's talk about business."

He picked up the cigarettes on the table, took one out and played with it in his hand: "There is something I want you to help me with."

"Um."

Luo Tianhong nodded.

"You must already know something about Han Chen."

Ji Bu did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly: "Han Chen is serving the Ni family. There are a total of five talkers under the Ni family. Now one is dead and there are four left."

"I'll need you in a while."

"OK."

Luo Tianhong nodded again: "It's not a big problem."

"cheers."

Ji Bu picked up the wine glass, clinked it with it, raised his head and drank it, and the conversation between the two ended there, concisely and to the point.

"it's over?"

Luo Tianhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Bu: "No more?"

"What if?"

Ji Bu looked at him naturally: "What? Do you like my nonsense?"

"Then I will prepare a 5,000-word speech in advance some other day to formulate your combat deployment in detail, and talk to you at length all night long."

"Pounce on the street."

Luo Tianhong rolled his eyes: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

at this time.

He also understood again the purpose of Ji Bu calling him out for a midnight snack.

The so-called serious matters can only be solved with a phone call and two sentences. The reason why I called myself out is nothing more than a means to win people's hearts.

But why not before but now?

Because now is the time when I have taken care of all matters concerning loyalty and righteousness, I will let myself think more about it in advance.

Postponed.

You may lose control yourself.

At this juncture, neither long nor short, just right, is a way to win over people's hearts, which will neither make you feel disgusted nor lose control of yourself.

Really clever.

The atmosphere of the dinner was good. The two of them chatted about each other. After drinking nearly a box of beer, the two of them were ready to leave.

Just getting ready to get up.

Suddenly a harsh voice sounded.

Location near the door.

A tall middle-aged man stood at the table and slapped the young woman sitting on the seat in the face.

"Crack!"

The sound of the slap was clear and harsh.

"Stinky 38!"

The middle-aged man burped from wine and put his hands on the table: "I'm talking to you just to show you face. It's your blessing to let you go to my table and have a drink. How dare you disobey me?!"

"you!"

The young woman covered her red face from being slapped: "What do you want to do! I don't know you, go away!"

"go!"

The middle-aged man pointed to the door: "I would like to propose a toast to my friends at that table. If you refuse me, I am very embarrassed!"

"Go away!"

The young woman scolded: "If you do this again, I'll call the police!"

"The Yan family shovel!"

The middle-aged man became so angry that he grabbed the young woman with his hands, pulled her out of the seat, pushed her to the ground, and kicked her:

"I've got you in my mouth. How dare you refuse me? Do you know my name?!"

As the woman fell, she brought down the surrounding tables and chairs.

immediately.

The diners who were still eating around them immediately jumped away, either paying the bill and running away, or hiding aside, looking at the fierce-looking middle-aged man, daring to be angry and afraid to speak.

outside the door.

One person came in to help with the standing position.

"What are you looking at!"

He raised his hand and took out a folding knife from his pocket, inserted it on the table, and glanced around fiercely:

"Whoever dares to meddle in their own business will be killed by me! I can't stab you to death!"

This time.

Everyone subconsciously took a step back again.

"Um?"

Ji Bu frowned slightly and looked at the door, then looked at Luo Tianhong. Before he could speak, Luo Tianhong had already taken a step forward and stood up.

"stand up!"

The middle-aged man bent down and picked up the young woman: "I'll give you one last chance, do you want to go or not?"

"Go away!"

The woman raised her hand to break away from the middle-aged man, but the power gap was too great. She was pushed to the ground again. The angry middle-aged man picked up a stool and hit the woman on the head.

"Crack."

The stool suddenly stopped while it was hanging in the air, and was caught and frozen in the air.

The middle-aged man looked stunned for a moment, then looked over and saw that the stool was firmly grasped by a blue-haired man.

"Isn't it bad if you do this?!"

Luo Tianhong looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly and said in a cold tone: "After drinking some cat urine, you don't know your last name anymore?!"

When the young woman saw this, she immediately got up from the ground, ran behind Ji Bu and hid behind him, her body trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid."

Ji Bu raised his hand and patted her shoulder, saying softly: "You'll be fine."

"Um."

The young woman nodded vigorously. Her originally panicked eyes softened a bit after seeing Ji Bu, and she held his hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Fight on the street!"

The middle-aged man looked at Luo Tianhong, then at Ji Bu who was sitting over there, and his tone became serious: "You'd better not meddle in other people's business."

"I won't hit you."

Luo Tianhong raised his eyes: "You call the police yourself and ask someone to pull you away."

"Fuck, you are joking with me!"

The middle-aged man sneered and called to his accomplices: "Behead him!"

immediately.

The accomplice beside him stabbed him with a folding knife.

"Oh."

Luo Tian snorted coldly, grabbed the stool with his right arm and used strength to dodge the stool, then raised his hand and hit the middle-aged man on the head.

He abandoned the stool and looked at the other person who was stabbing him with a knife. He suddenly reached out with his right hand and grabbed the middle-aged man who was standing stunned and pulled him to him.

"Pfft."

The folding knife plunged straight into the waist of the middle-aged man who was pulled by Luo Tianhong to act as a shield.

"Kneel down!"

Luo Tianhong scolded the middle-aged man in a deep voice, pressed his right hand on the middle-aged man's shoulder and pushed him to the ground. Then he raised his foot and swept out. The man with the knife's knees softened and he knelt down on the ground.

"I told you to call the police."

Luo Tianhong kicked the man in the chest and knocked him to the ground. The heavy sole of his shoe stepped directly on the man's face and said coldly:

"Allowing you to call the police yourself gives you a chance to survive."

"I'll take your mother in my mouth!"

The middle-aged man screamed and screamed like a slaughtering pig outside the house: "Why don't you come in and help!"

outside the house.

After hearing the middle-aged roar, the six or seven people sitting outside rushed in with bottles of wine, menacingly.

"Chicken and dog!"

Luo Tianhong snorted coldly, raised his feet and took the initiative to rush forward, rushing into the sheep like a wild wolf.

"ah"

It takes less than half a minute.

This group of people didn't even enter the store. They fell to the ground in a mess, screaming in agony.

"good!"

I don't know who shouted.

immediately.

Everyone around him applauded, and there was a warm round of applause.

Not far away.

After receiving the alarm, the military uniform also rushed to the scene. He looked at the group of bad guys lying on the ground, and then at Luo Tianhong who was standing, and was about to take action.

Everyone immediately gathered around and began to explain the ins and outs of the incident, and the military uniforms immediately gave a thumbs up to express their praise.

"Sir!"

The middle-aged man lying on the ground screamed: "It's us who are being beaten. Please drag him to the police station quickly."

"Fight on the street!"

The uniformed policeman raised his foot and kicked the middle-aged man on the butt: "You are still talking about shame, which makes me angry. I'll pay you and go to jail!"

It didn't take long.

The reinforcements that arrived rushed all the gangsters at the scene into police cars one by one. The white car also followed and took the injured young woman to the hospital. Those who rushed to the street will be severely punished by the law.

Before leaving.

The police once again expressed their gratitude to Ji Bu and Luo Tianhong.

"call"

Ji Bu let out a breath, looked at the police car driving away, and turned to look at Luo Tianhong: "You're so quick."

"Although I, Luo Tianhong, am out to do my job, I also have my own bottom line and principles as a human being."

Luo Tianhong raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Bu sideways: "If I don't have any sense of being a human being, how can I still hang out with you..."

“Not bad, not bad.”

Ji Bu grinned and asked the boss to pay the bill, but the boss refused to take their money. In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
