"Big Boss Jiang, listen to me. You really don't have to fight with me on this matter. We are all from the underworld, and we understand. Even if we eat bear's heart and leopard's guts, we would never dare to touch Big Boss Jiang's woman. We would do such a thing even if we were beaten to death. Big Boss Jiang, please understand. It really wasn't done by us!"
When the big shots of the underworld heard Jiang Cheng's ruthless words, they all knelt down from the sofa without thinking.
Jiang Cheng looked at their reactions, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly drank his wine.
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, and the gang leaders didn't dare to say anything either. After a few minutes, Black Face, who was kneeling on the far left, suddenly said, "Big Boss Jiang, this definitely wasn't done by the seven of us here. We don't have that kind of guts. Usually, we are filial to Brother Hu. How could we be so stupid to kidnap your woman? Big Boss Jiang, among us, we would never do such a thing! "
"Then who do you think did this?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly.
Black Face didn't say anything. How would he know who did it? The seven of them had already started cursing in their hearts. "Motherf * cker, which son of a b * tch is tired of living? How dare he touch the boss's woman? Isn't he looking for death?"
However, although they were cursing, they really didn't know who did it. However, Jiangnan City was such a big place. Who didn't know who did it?
Soon, everyone felt that something was wrong. The Big Eight of Jiangnan City were basically all here. Only Lao San Pi wasn't here. Everyone simultaneously directed their thoughts to Lao San Pi.
It must be said that this Old Pi was a tyrant who had occupied the southern part of the city for a long time. He had some conflicts with Jiang Cheng, but the main conflict was with Jiang Cheng's subordinate, Zheng Xiaohu.
At that time, Zheng Xiaohu was high-spirited and ready to enter the south of the city. However, he was stopped by Lao San Pi. At that time, the two sides had a fight. Lao San Pi was no match for Zheng Xiaohu. In the whole of Jiangnan City, no one was a match for Jiang Cheng's strength. The former Shengda Group and Fan Debiao had fallen under the feet of Jiang Cheng. How could a few petty thieves do anything to Zheng Xiaohu?
That fight was won by Zheng Xiaohu without any suspense. However, Zheng Xiaohu didn't tell Jiang Cheng about it. He fought in the south of the city mainly because he wanted to be the boss. After conquering the south of the city, Lao San Pi gave Zheng Xiaohu 100,000 yuan every month. Zheng Xiaohu promised not to make trouble for Lao San Pi.
Zheng Xiaohu came back in less than a month and swept the entire underworld. His reputation in the underworld was close to that of Brother Jiang. If Zheng Xiaohu was already so powerful, then the Big Boss Jiang behind him must be a god.
The big bosses were afraid of Zheng Xiaohu.
So the eight big bosses agreed that each of them would give Zheng Xiaohu 100,000 yuan every month as a protection fee.
If word got out that the people in the underworld had been charged protection fees by others, it would be a joke. However, they could still afford to fork out 100,000 yuan. They could just buy more powder and Ecstasy from the bar, and they would be back in a few days. Therefore, the big shots still gritted their teeth and endured it.
However, with the start of a new round of drug and prostitution, business was getting more and more difficult. The most affected was Lao San Pi in the south of the city. He had four bars, two casinos, and a few chicken shops. The casinos and chicken shops had long been closed. The ladies were laid off and went home to find jobs, but the bar was still open.
But the bar was constantly being raided by the police, which made Pi Laosan want to curse. What did the bar rely on to make money? It relied on selling powder and ecstasy, which was a huge profit. How much money could they make just by selling alcohol?
The business was getting more and more difficult. The underlings had to eat and support their families. Gradually, the eight big bosses were a little stretched. They found Zheng Xiaohu one after another, hoping that he could reduce the protection fees.
Zheng Xiaohu was doing serious business. He never engaged in prostitution, gambling, and drugs. He was not afraid of the police at all. The business continued. Most of the monthly income depended on these underworld bosses' filial piety. Now that he suddenly wanted to reduce the filial piety, wouldn't his underlings starve? Of course, Zheng Xiaohu did not agree. He flatly refused the eight big bosses' request.
The other big bosses saw that there was no hope. They just complained in their hearts. They did not dare to say anything because their strength was not as good as Zheng Xiaohu. Zheng Xiaohu could make thousands of people anxious with one phone call. One phone call of theirs was estimated to be one or two hundred. How could they fight?
If they went up, they would be defeated in less than one round. In the end, they would have to pay the money and continue to pay filial piety.
If they wanted to quit, it was fine. But their territory would be occupied by others. How could they make money? How could they support their wife and son? How could they support their parents?
Although it was a little sad to be squeezed by Zheng Xiaohu, at least they could still earn money every month and support their families. If they really quit, then they would have nothing. The big bosses were not fools. How could they not understand this truth?
However, Old Pi was not convinced. He had already been tortured by the police. Now he had to continue to be oppressed by Zheng Xiaohu. This was unacceptable to him. So, he planned this kidnapping case.
The bosses told Jiang Cheng about their difficulties, and then said in unison, "Boss Jiang, we really don't dare to do this. It must be Old Pi. He's the one with the most bad intentions. It's very likely that he's the one who did this!"
After listening to these big bosses blabbering on and on, Jiang Cheng immediately looked at Zheng Xiaohu and questioned him, "Zheng Xiaohu, is what the seven big bosses said true?"
Zheng Xiaohu never thought that he would cause such a big trouble. He originally thought that he was kidnapped by ordinary criminals. He did not expect that it was actually him. This scared Zheng Xiaohu a lot.
He had done a lot of things by relying on Jiang Cheng's power. It was his dream to unify the underworld. It just so happened that Jiang Cheng was often not at home. As Jiang Cheng's spokesperson, of course, he became the big boss without a doubt.
Zheng Xiaohu didn't have much of an ambition. He used to dream of becoming a boss even in his dreams. After a trip to the Middle East, he became even more arrogant. Even the murderous IS had fled like a rat, and he was afraid of a few hooligans.
He quickly swept through the underworld of Jiangnan City like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. He even extended his hands to the neighboring city. When the county and city heard Zheng Xiaohu's name, there was no one who was not afraid. This guy was a madman. He would mess with whoever he wanted. If you wanted to fight him, you would not be able to defeat him.
This brat had more than a thousand people under his command, and many of them were soldiers. Their fighting power was too strong. Ordinary people were no match for him!
Zheng Xiaohu did not dare to look at Jiang Cheng's eyes. He could only lower his head and look at the floor. He said weakly, "Yes!"
Jiang Cheng almost died of anger. He originally thought that Ning Meng was kidnapped by a foreign force. He did not expect that it was a local hooligan who dared to kidnap her. However, this time, Jiang Cheng was a little relieved. Since it was a local, he was not afraid of them causing trouble. In his territory, whoever dared to cause trouble must be prepared to deal with the King of Hell.
After the discussion, the news from the underlings came. Xiao Bai called and said that he found the two cars in the suburbs. The cars were in an abandoned feed factory, but the people were missing.
Jiang Cheng said lightly, "Don't worry, the matter has been investigated. I suspect that it was Pi Laosan in the south of the city who did it. Xiao Bai, immediately take some people to Pi's house and see if he is still there. Then ask your friends where this guy has been recently. I want to see him before midnight today!"
Jiang Cheng only gave him a little more than an hour, but for Xiao Bai, it was enough. The dragnet had been cast. Jiangnan City was not big. It might be difficult to find a person, but it was too easy to find a famous person in the underworld.
In less than half an hour, the staff at the train station called and said that Pi Laosan had appeared on the train with a few people. They drove a modern off-road vehicle in the direction of Yu Mountain.
.....
At the foot of Yu Mountain, a medium-sized, fat man stood in front of the car. He looked at Ning Meng, who was tied tightly in front of him and said, "Miss, I'm sorry. I don't want to kill people. As long as you obediently do as I say, I promise I won't hurt you!"
After that, the fat man removed the transparent tape on Ning Meng's mouth.
As soon as the tape was removed, Ning Meng immediately said, "Do you know who you've caught? I advise you to let me go. Otherwise, when my husband comes, you won't have a good death! "
The fat man laughed and said, "I know who you are. Isn't your husband the famous Boss Jiang? I, Pi Laosan, don't want to be scared. When I started my career, he was still wearing open-crotch pants. I, Pi Laosan, did what I did today because he forced me. If he didn't send his underlings to ask me for money all day long, would I be forced to this road?"
At the end of his words, Pi Laosan almost roared.
He was almost driven crazy by Zheng Xiaohu and the police. Zheng Xiaohu gave him 100,000 yuan every month, and his men often came to collect money. In fact, the money Pi Laosan gave him was almost 200,000 yuan every month. Such a large expenditure, if it was in the past, they could still survive. But since the police came every two or three days, the bar's business had plummeted, and there was not much profit to speak of.
Pi Laosan said, "Miss, I don't want to kill people. I just want justice. I'll call Big Boss Jiang now. As long as he gives me 10 million yuan, I'll let you go immediately!"
"Do you think it's possible?" Ning Meng laughed.
"Whether it's possible or not depends on how much he cares about you!" Pi Laosan said slowly.
Then he took Ning Meng's mobile phone and turned it on. He found Jiang Cheng's phone number and dialed it directly.
Jiang Cheng had just finished his meeting when he received a call. He picked it up and saw that it was Ning Meng's number. Jiang Cheng immediately understood that it was a call from the kidnappers.
Jiang Cheng picked up the phone and answered. He said calmly, "Pi Laosan?"
