After the call connected, the two of them warmly exchanged a few pleasantries. Li Rui then told him everything about Yang Peng from beginning to end. In the end, he said, "Brother Ji, what do you think we should do about this?" Ji Fei said truthfully, "Old Cripple Zheng is a famous person in the city. I'm quite familiar with him and have dealt with him many times. This person was very arrogant before the crackdown at the end of the last century. After he was released from prison, he calmed down quite a bit and became much more low-key. It's probably because he's old. This person is quite loyal and we can barely communicate with him. Black Panther is one of Old Cripple Zheng's godson. He's a rising star and has become quite famous in the last two years. I've heard that he's quite overbearing and arrogant. I've also heard a lot about the things he's done, but they've always been curled up in the northern district of the city and haven't spread out. Also, we don't have any evidence for many of the things he's done, so we've always turned a blind eye. However, since Black Panther has pissed you off, I can't just ignore it. Little Brother, just tell me what you want. Whatever you say, Big Brother will do as you say. Haha. "
Li Rui saw that he was speaking quite warmly and politely, so he didn't want to act on his own initiative. He said respectfully, "I've never dealt with people like this before. It's also the first time I've encountered something like this. I don't have any experience at all. I'll just listen to Old Brother Ji. Please give me some pointers on what to do." Ji Fei was silent for a while. "In order to avoid future trouble, of course it's best to catch Black Panther and his gang in one fell swoop. But in a hurry and without any evidence, it won't be easy to arrest them. If we send the police to confront them directly, there won't be any good results. We'll even inadvertently alert the enemy. I suggest that you and your classmate endure for now. I'll go talk to Old Cripple Zheng and have him restrain Black Panther. If Old Cripple Zheng gives me face, I'll let this go. If he doesn't, we'll make other plans. In short, we can't let Black Panther succeed in his blackmail. "
Li Rui was very curious about Old Cripple Zheng, so he said, "If it's convenient, I'll go with you to see him." Ji Fei laughed, "Sure, I don't have a problem with that." Li Rui asked, "Then let's hurry up. Black Panther gave my old classmate an ultimatum. If he doesn't see one million tomorrow, he'll cut off his tendons." Ji Fei said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll arrange to meet with Old Cripple Zheng … I don't have his contact information here, I need to ask someone …" Li Rui said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ruixin didn't relax at all. Instead, he became more and more serious. When he thought about how even Ji Fei, an elder of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, had to negotiate with the leader of the underworld like Old Cripple Zheng to solve the problem, he felt that his public power was being trampled on and tarnished. He really wanted to gather a thousand armed police and wipe out the underworld like Old Cripple Zheng and Black Panther. Of course, he could only think about it in his heart. His brain also understood that this was a society ruled by law. If you want to arrest someone, you need evidence. Without evidence, even the judiciary has no right to arrest someone. Old Cripple Zheng, Black Panther, and the others took advantage of various loopholes in the law to get away with it. As a result, their influence grew bigger and bigger. Now, they had become a malignant tumor on the soil of the North District. If they weren't eradicated as soon as possible, one could only imagine what kind of consequences they would bear in the future.
After waiting angrily and helplessly for a while, Ji Fei called, "Brother, I've already made an appointment. They're at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. I'll be there immediately." Li Rui said in surprise, "The Drunken Immortal Restaurant?" Ji Fei said, "Ah, what's wrong?" Li Rui smiled bitterly, "Nothing, nothing. I'm just wondering why people like to eat at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant these days." Ji Fei said, "Other people go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant because of its reputation and dishes. But Old Cripple Zheng doesn't need that because he's the owner of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant." Li Rui was shocked and said, "Ah? Old Cripple Zheng is the owner of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant? "Ji Fei laughed," You just found out? " Li Rui's head was dizzy. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "This Old Cripple Zheng is really generous." Ji Fei said, "He's opened more than ten restaurants, and the Drunken Immortal Restaurant is the most profitable. Alright, why are you here? Do you need me to pick you up? "Li Rui said," No need, I'll go over myself. "
The two agreed to meet at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Li Rui then called Luo Nana and told her to hurry over to pick him up. He thought to himself that since he was going to have dinner at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant tonight, he might as well let her pick him up in advance. She probably wouldn't mind.
His call was just in time. Luo Nana was already on her way and wasn't far from his house. Li Rui gave her directions and brought along his personal belongings before going out to meet her.
He waited for less than five minutes at the entrance of the neighborhood when he saw a black Lexus parked across the road. Just as Luo Nana had said on the phone, he crossed the road and drove over. At this time, the car's window slowly rolled down, revealing a beautiful young woman sitting inside. Her skin was extremely white, her face was beautiful, and she wore a pair of large sunglasses. Who else could it be but Luo Nana?
Li Rui walked to her door, but before he could greet her, his gaze was attracted by the beautiful scenery that was revealed through the collar of her shirt. He secretly praised her in his heart but didn't dare to look too much. He smiled and said, "Why are you out so early?" Luo Nana said, "I'm afraid I'll get lost and waste too much time. Get in the car. " Li Rui smiled. He walked around the front of the car and sat in the front passenger seat. He carefully looked at her clothes. Other than her low neckline that exposed part of her snowy mounds, her clothes were still considered normal. He asked, "Why are you dressed so salty and seductive today?" Luo Nana smiled sweetly at him and said, "In any case, this is the first time you're taking me out to meet people. I can't possibly embarrass you, right?" No matter how Li Rui heard her words, he felt awkward. It was as if she was his newlywed wife and he was bringing her out to meet his friends. However, he didn't argue and said, "Come, I'll show you the way to Drunken Immortal Restaurant. But after we get there, I have some personal matters to take care of. You'll have to wait for me in the car. "
Li Rui was in charge of leading the way and Luo Nana was in charge of driving. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the Drunken Immortal restaurant.
When the two of them arrived, Ji Fei was already waiting impatiently at the front steps of the restaurant. He was about to call Li Rui's cell phone to hurry him up when he saw him get out of the car. He let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Old brother, you really made me wait for a long time." Li Rui smiled and said, "Sorry old brother, I came late and was waiting for the driver." Ji Fei saw that in the car he got out of was a young woman who was dressed fashionably. He didn't say anything and pulled him into the restaurant. He said, "In a while, I'll talk to Old Cripple Zheng. Old brother, you don't have to say anything and just listen." Li Rui said, "I'll listen to old brother's instructions."
The two of them walked into the restaurant. Ji Fei was very familiar with the environment and led Li Rui around two or three times before they arrived at a secluded corner in the depths of the restaurant. There was a private room here called "Immortal Man".
Li Rui had already eaten at Drunken Immortal Restaurant a few times and knew that the private rooms here all had the word "immortal" in their name. For example, last night when Ji Fei treated them to a meal, they ate at "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". But now, Old Cripple Zheng was entertaining guests at "Immortal Man". If one didn't think about it carefully, it wouldn't have mattered, but if one thought about it carefully, there was a deeper meaning to it.
Li Rui snorted and secretly sneered. He thought to himself, "Old Cripple Zheng is an old green-skinned man who's been in prison and subjected to a dictatorship. How can he call himself a" Immortal Man "? Hmph, he's really burying the reputation of immortals. "
After Ji Fei knocked on the door, a young man in his late twenties opened the door and asked, "Are you Director Ji?" Ji Fei put on airs in front of him and said casually, "Where's your Director Zheng?" The man stepped to the side and said, "Please come in."
Ji Fei followed Li Rui into the room. After a few steps, they were already in the room. At the outermost edge of the large round table, on the side of the door, was a man leaning against the door.
This man's attire couldn't be described as ordinary. He actually had a head of long hair that draped over his shoulders, some black and some white. He was wearing a black Tang suit embroidered with golden embroidery of pines, cranes, and auspicious clouds. Below, he wore a pair of gray trousers and a pair of old man's shoes. He held a large tobacco pipe in his hand and was currently smoking. Just by looking at his attire, no one would believe that this man was Old Cripple Zheng, who had once reigned supreme in Qingyang City. However, the "cripple" part of his nickname couldn't be reflected in his current posture.
He didn't look back and directly used the pipe to point to the empty seat next to him and said, "Sit." His tone was old, but full of strength.
Li Rui nodded inwardly. As expected of an old man, he still had a lot of energy. However, looking at his behavior, it didn't seem like he was sincerely entertaining guests. He wouldn't not give face to Ji Fei, would he?
Ji Fei didn't hold back and pulled Li Rui to sit on two chairs to his left.
Old Cripple Zheng said casually, "Serve the tea!"
The young man who opened the door for Ji Fei walked to the tea cabinet in the corner of the room and began to make tea.
Ji Fei didn't say anything. Li Rui sized up Old Cripple Zheng and saw that he was about fifty years old. His face was thin and long, his eyebrows were heavy and long, and his eyes were long and narrow. The corners of his eyes were raised, giving him a murderous aura. There was a long knife scar on the left side of his face that ran from his right eye to his left chin. This scar was extremely frightening in contrast to his cold face. A timid person wouldn't even dare to look him in the eye.
