Collecting protection fees?
Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
What era was this? Were there still people doing this? The local police station didn't even care?
When Xiao Zheng was still in the underworld, this was no longer popular. If they really wanted to collect it, it would be half protection fee and half security fee. It was also limited to entertainment places. It was a relationship of forced buying and selling, not an empty wolf.
Collecting money on the street was out of fashion ten years ago. Not to mention under the feet of the emperor.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a little curious, Li Feng continued, "It's just a bunch of scums. If they really have the ability, they won't do this. "
Under Li Feng's introduction, Xiao Zheng learned that these people who collected protection fees were basically local ruffians. If they really had no ability, they would bully some ordinary citizens who did not dare to resist. However, speaking of which, these hooligans were not completely without a background. Instead, they were affiliated to the nephew of the local police station's director.
The director's nephew was protected by the director's uncle, so he could be considered a local tyrant. When his career grew big, he naturally needed some lackeys. First, he wanted face, and second, he wanted extravagance. When he needed them, he naturally did not have to worry about food and drink. However, after all, it was a society ruled by law. How could he bring a bunch of hooligans to do whatever they wanted every day? Therefore, the days of these hooligans raised by stepmothers were not easy. Without a job, they could only collect protection fees to survive. They could not even get a high-class security guard. They were also unwilling to use these kind of hooligans with criminal records.
However, there was an advantage. Because these hooligans were affiliated to the director's nephew, the local police turned a blind eye and did not kill them. Lest the director's nephew snitched and asked for trouble.
As a result, the social security in the vicinity was a little grim.
Of course, it was only to collect some protection fees. To intimidate the ordinary citizens. If he really wanted them to do something big, first, they did not have the ability, and second, the director would not agree.
If the public security was too bad, as the director, he would also have to bear the responsibility. No one would joke about their own political future. It was not worth it.
"It really is a family of officials." Xiao Zheng drank half a glass of beer and said meaningfully.
Xiao Zheng had never regarded himself as a saint, and he wasn't the current generation's Justice Bao who couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit of sand. However, since he had encountered such a shady business, he would not sit idly by. Xiao Zheng looked down on people who bullied the kind and feared the evil.
"You know me so well. You should know them, right? "Xiao Zheng put down his glass.
Hearing this, Li Feng's back was soaked in cold sweat.
Of course, he knew these guys. In fact, before entering New Austria, he would occasionally make a cameo appearance as a collector of protection fees. He wasn't a professional, but because of his burly figure, he was able to intimidate others. It wasn't bad to get a free meal.
Hearing what Xiao Zheng said, Li Feng felt rather awkward. However, he could only pat his chest and promise that he would definitely be able to settle this matter. After all, they knew each other. He could at least give him some face.
Li Feng crossed the road to Guotong. However, Xiao Zheng had no interest in appearing. He just ate the skewers and occasionally sent a text message to flirt with the cold girl with voice-over.
"If there's nothing else, go home and rest. I'm busy. "
A kitchen knife was sent at the end of the text message. It looked ferocious, but there was a touch of cuteness in it.
Xiao Taohong saw Mr. Xiao sending text messages with a smile on his face, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart. However, she quickly suppressed this small emotion rationally.
There were some things she could do. There were some things she could think about. And there were some things she couldn't even think about. Thinking too much would harm others and herself. Destroying her own future.
For her, Mr. Xiao was unattainable, something she couldn't even think about. If she thought too much, it would be easy to lose control. Once she lost control, she might even lose her job. Not only would she harm herself, but she would also harm her big brother, who had just embarked on the right path.
Occasionally, when she thought of Boss Lin's cold but wise eyes, Xiao Taohong would feel a lingering fear.
Ten minutes later, Li Feng walked back to the dining table with a face full of resentment. However, his mouth was still cursing.
"It hasn't been settled?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"It's not as simple as collecting protection fees." Li Feng felt ashamed. He added fuel to the fire as he explained. "There's a crew recording a music video here, but those bastards found trouble with them. They even forced them to pay a million yuan for mental damage. Wasn't it just a foot stepped on? Did they have to make such a big deal out of it? "
"The leader isn't an ordinary person, right?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes. It's the nephew of the director that I mentioned just now. Damn it. We used to call each other brothers, and now I'm begging him to do me a favor. They're putting on airs here. "
Xiao Zheng smiled, got up, and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Xiao Taohong saw that Mr. Xiao was going to make a move. He hastily paid the bill and followed her like a little attendant.
Because it was a rare crew, and there was a second-tier star that she had a liking for. She was young and beautiful, and had a good temperament. In addition, the background of collecting protection fees was strong enough. In an instant, many onlookers gathered.
Li Feng relied on his height and strength to help Xiao Zheng squeeze through the crowd and approach the core position.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Zheng saw seven or eight seemingly decent young people negotiating fiercely with a middle-aged man dressed like a director. Occasionally, they would curse. Then he looked at the young girl resting not far away —
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows. Isn't that Ruyu?
"The one leading them is that guy." Li Feng pointed at a young man in his thirties opposite him. He was tall, but his face revealed disdain and arrogance.
Obviously, he didn't take the other party, a music video director, seriously.
In fact, the entertainment industry might be unreachable in the hearts of the people. But in the hearts of the officials, and even the businessmen, it didn't have a high position. Especially in this city where there were many high-ranking officials.
Did the name of the police station's director not sound good? That was really ignorant and ill-informed. A few years ago, the central government focused on national security, so the police stations that originally had no administrative level were promoted by half a level, and became a proper deputy section level unit. As for the police stations in the capital, municipalities, and provincial cities like Yan Jing. The head of the police station was at least at the deputy section level. If they were transferred to a place, they would be at the deputy county level. Plus, Yan Jing was the capital, so the public security management was definitely the best in the country. This also led to the police station's status being higher and more important than the local area.
There was an old saying that went, "You don't know how small a position is until you are in the capital." In a small police station in the capital, the highest level was even at the division level. It was not surprising that the nephew of the director was so arrogant.
"Damn it!"
While they were arguing, the director's nephew suddenly kicked the director's stomach. He scolded, "You f * cking talked for so long just because you don't want to pay, right?! Do you believe that I won't let you stay in Yan Jing? "
His tone was so arrogant that people who didn't know would think that he was the son of the president.
As soon as he made his move, the scene became chaotic. The seven or eight hoodlums rushed up and smashed. How could the crew withstand this kind of situation? They immediately became a mess and started crying.
