Under Lin Xiaozhu's forceful pull, Xiao Zheng followed the little girl closer to the crowd and watched the excitement. Black Bear relied on his illustrious reputation and his tall and strong body to open the way for the two of them. He actually squeezed into the inner layer and watched the old birthday star Zhao Siye at a close distance.
Xiao Zheng, who had met a few times, saw Zhao Siye in a Tang suit at a glance, and his heart immediately gave birth to a feeling of being old but vigorous. He was also surprised that Zhao Siye had such a strong physique.
Everyone knew that Mister Zhao was already sixty years old, but his well-ironed Tang suit, his eyes that were dignified without being angry, and his hair that was half white but combed meticulously, all of them showed his king's demeanor in the Pearl Underground World. Even though he was surrounded by young, strong, and burly bodyguards, he didn't seem weak at all. On the contrary, he was full of leadership temperament, which was admirable.
Zhao Siye's appearance pushed the birthday banquet that was about to begin to a climax, and the surrounding guests also congratulated Zhao Siye, a harmonious scene.
"Brother-in-law, he is Zhao Siye?" Lin Xiaozhu asked incredulously.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Is there a problem?"
"Didn't you say he is 60 years old? It doesn't look like it. "Lin Xiaozhu was puzzled.
In the eyes of Lin Xiaozhu, who was less than 18 years old, a 60-year-old man should have a hunched back, a head full of gray hair, wrinkled skin, and it was best to use a cane. It should not be like Zhao Siye's appearance.
Speaking of which, Zhao Siye, who was over 60 years old, was not only full of energy, but also had a tall and straight waist. Even his nearly 1.8 meters tall burly physique was not inferior to a young man in the prime of his life. Except for his slightly white hair, it was completely impossible to see that he was an old man over 60 years old. Even if he said he was 40 years old, a lot of people would believe it.
"I took good care of myself," Xiao Zheng said confidently. "If I were as rich as him, not to mention 60 years old, even 80 years old, I would still be strong and childish."
Lin Xiaozhu rolled his eyes and said with disgust, "Brother-in-law, energy and a good physique are not piled up by money. They are sports! I am sure that Zhao Siye must be a sports maniac! "
Xiao Zheng argued, "As an underworld kingpin, he should be doing intense activities like chopping people up."
Lin Xiaozhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with a guy like Xiao Zheng. He rushed to Black Bear, who was sweating profusely in order to clear the way for them, and said, "Brother Bear, do you think if I rush up to take a photo with Mister Zhao now, would it be a little disregarding the overall situation?"
"It's more than that!" Xiao Zheng said in a powerful voice. "You're simply courting death! I dare to guarantee that the moment you rush up suspiciously, you'll be beaten into a pig's head by Mister Zhao's left and right protectors! Then throw it into the river to feed the sharks! "
"So ruthless?" Lin Xiaozhu shrank his neck and stuck out his tongue.
"Otherwise, how could Mister Zhao roam Jianghu and have hundreds respond to his call?" Xiao Zheng said fiercely. "When you're in the underworld, you have to be ruthless!"
"Brother Zheng is right," Black Bear said seriously. "If you're not ruthless, you won't be able to control the situation, and others will bully you. Even if you lose, you can't lose momentum. "
Without waiting for Lin Xiaozhu to respond, Xiao Zheng continued to exaggerate and sneered, "This is Jianghu! This is called underworld! Do you think you can be a boss just by reading two mafia comics? Little girl, you're still too young! "
Lin Xiaozhu glared at Xiao Zheng and pursed her lips without saying a word.
Mister Zhao was a forthright and unrestrained person. He treated any guests who came to congratulate him with courtesy and responded with a bright smile. He was elegant and had the demeanor of a big shot. From the main entrance to the main table, a distance of a few dozen meters, it took a full quarter of an hour to walk. It could be seen how prestigious Mister Zhao was in the underworld and how much people respected him.
Speaking of which, at least half of the guests present had the same feelings as Lin Xiaozhu. They were proud to take a photo with Mister Zhao and shake hands with him. Otherwise, why would they come all the way to attend Mister Zhao's birthday banquet? Wasn't it just to see the true face of Mister Zhao, the legend of Jianghu? And many guests were like Lin Xiaozhu, seeing Mister Zhao for the first time in their lives. If they met on the street, even if they passed by, it would be difficult to recognize him. They only thought that this old man was full of energy and had a strong aura.
Mister Zhao was on the way to socialize. That pair of shining eyes inadvertently passed over Xiao Zheng's face. There was a slight flash of color on his face, but he didn't react. He walked to the main table while talking and laughing.
"Everyone, Zhao is very grateful for everyone's presence." Mister Zhao raised his glass and very boldly toasted to everyone. "Tonight, no one will go home until they are drunk!"
Bang bang bang!
Mister Zhao's voice just fell when fireworks shot into the sky, turning into a rain of fire, gorgeous and enchanting. The performance team also played happy and melodious music. The scene was full of toasts, and the atmosphere was warm.
There were nearly three hundred men and women sitting at different tables, but basically each had their own formation. It was purely because of Mister Zhao's prestige that they could live in harmony. Maybe after they got off the table and went out of Pearl No.1, they would immediately pull out their swords and kill each other in the street. But no one dared to be presumptuous in front of Mister Zhao, and they didn't dare to openly affect the atmosphere of the birthday banquet.
In this regard, Black Bear, who was famous in the underworld, had the right to speak.
"The table on our left is the core member of the Ocean Sand Gang. Just two months ago, they fought with the boss of the Axe Gang at the table behind them for territory. They fought several times in a row. There were casualties on both sides. Until now, the winner has not been decided. If they continue to fight, it will not be a lose-lose situation, but will be forcibly suppressed by the police. "Black Bear drank a glass of beer and said while wiping his mouth.
"So cruel?" Lin Xiaozhu asked curiously. "People are dead, and the police still don't come out to intervene?"
"Pearl No.1 has a total of 40,000 police officers, and this has not deducted the police forces assigned to the lower areas. But do you know how many people are in the underworld in Pearl No.1? And how many people will occasionally make a guest appearance in order to get some quick money? "Black Bear grinned. "How can the police handle it? Can they handle it? Like these small gang fights, as long as it does not affect social security, the police have always turned a blind eye. Only when it is big and the nature is bad, the police will forcibly suppress it. "
"It turns out that the underworld is so dark." Lin Xiaozhu drank the juice and smacked his tongue.
"Pearl No.1 is an international city. Dragons and snakes are mixed together, and all kinds of religions and nine schools are gathered. Not to mention the locals, even those foreigners who come to work, for their own interests, often will form gangs and form a hometown association. Once the leader is ambitious and the means are dark, it will form the gangs in your eyes. This group of people is willing to do anything for money. They are ruthless, killing and arson. Once the basket is poked, they will immediately take the money and run. Even if the police want to chase, who knows where they go? Those who don't have money go to Southeast Asia, those who have money go to Europe and North America. Maybe they cross the sea and go to Chinatown over there. With someone's recommendation, they immediately become the Turtle Boss, "Black Bear said with great familiarity. It seemed that he had been around for a long time and had slowly summed up a set of theories.
But these words were novel and subversive to Lin Xiaozhu's ears. But in the ears of Xiao Zheng, he was very interested in the experience of Black Bear in the past few years.
In the eyes of Xiao Zheng, Black Bear was a typical martial artist. He was good at fighting, but he had no brains. He was the first to fight, but he was shy and thin about dividing the benefits. With his brain, how could he say the theory of pointing out the country?
Of course, Black Bear had been in the underworld for a long time, and it was not unusual to have a comprehensive understanding of the process of the whole industry. But from his tone, Xiao Zheng could clearly hear a trace of dissatisfaction with the current situation, as well as the ambition to change it. This was not something that Black Bear's brain could analyze.
So, who was the one who told him this theory?
The answer was obvious!
"Boss Ye is here!"
While he was thinking, a cold and sharp voice suddenly came from the main door. Immediately shocked the whole audience, and people were surprised. Even the tall and strong Black Bear stood up and looked at Ye Shiguan, who was in a suit like a business elite.
