The Investors
Chapter 8: The Beginning of the Surprise
The three people were still sound asleep when Gao Li Li Liang woke up in the early hours of the morning. For a moment he did not know where he was at the moment. The first thing he saw was that the ceiling of this room was white. Where's this? Is this in heaven?
He recalled the last moments before he lost consciousness in the basement of the King Palace Hotel.
Last night he and four of his confidants were to hold a dinner at the hotel for the twenty-second birthday of his daughter Gao Mei Gui. He wanted to give a surprise to his only daughter, so he booked a special VIP restaurant room at the hotel. They deliberately came an hour earlier than the agreed time with Gao Mei Gui for a surprise and ordered a sumptuous meal.
On the afternoon before, he ordered Wei Chung to take the pearl necklace order that he had ordered earlier at the jewelry store. But unfortunately the gift of the necklace that had been taken by Wei Chung was left in his car. Initially Wei Chung regretted why he could forget such an important thing and he volunteered to take the necklace from inside his car in the basement of this hotel. But with his character, Gao Li Liang insisted on taking himself downstairs, while he allowed his four confidants to prepare all the surprise supplies later.
But who would have guessed, just as he stuffed the pearl necklace box into his suit pocket he realized there were some shadowy figures of people standing right behind him. Suddenly he turned his body and looked curiously at the five people who from his passion wanted to find a cause for him.
The person standing before him had a thin high posture and his eyeballs were sunken. His eyes looked cold as if he wanted to bewitch people into a lump of ice with just the look of his eyes. While behind the man stood four people who were both staring intently at Gao Li Li Liang.
He had never known these people before, had never even seen their faces. But he could guess, among them, that tall, thin man was the leader of the horde. So quickly he rebuked them to get away
"Come out of front of me!" hardiknya which was even responded with laughter by the five people.
"Have you faced death still pretending to be before me? Rubbish!" said the tall skinny man again accompanied by laughter by four subordinates.
"Who are you? What do you mean you came here?" Gao Li Li Liang tried to ferret out the identities of these five people.
"People are incompetent, we don't want to beat around the bush. Our arrival here is to take your old life. Previously, our superior Lu Meng from the Sea Dragon escort company had asked you to kindly confess to submission and hand over power to us. Even our boss promised twenty percent profit to you and the mh organization, but you rejected that goodwill. Actually, twenty percent of the profits for this group of trash of yours are already too much," the man said disparagingly.
"His father! He came to blackmail us by giving us twenty percent profit and he also wanted to blackmail investors in the city of Nanping by forcing them to cooperate with his company once he took control of the city. And you call that goodwill? You need to know, even though we are in the black world, but we always try to keep their business, not once we interfere with their business. And this we have been doing for generations since decades ago. Now you have come to destroy the good image between the underground rulers and the businessmen. What kind of shit is that?" Gao Li Liang began to ignite his emotions.
Indeed, since decades ago, since the cultural revolution in China, the three underground powerhouses in the city of Nanping, Hei Laohu, have been, Xiongmeng de Shizi and Bao always put forward good relations with entrepreneurs who invest in the city of Nanping. They work with these companies in the field of security and parking management. In addition, they also ask every hospitality business to be allowed to manage the field of entertainment businesses such as karaoke and discotheques and gambling arenas. Usually that's where they circulate drugs, so they benefit more from their efforts.
That said, it is investors and entrepreneurs who support them so far, so they may force investors to hire their services as personal bodyguards. In the city of Nanping there has never been an incident of businessmen being robbed, because the existence of these three associations that make a single criminal will not dare to do anything here. Most of the lone criminals prefer to join one of those groups and work according to the instructions of the superiors.
The city is completely safe, no escort company is needed here, because the businessmen don't need them, the businessmen already had bodyguards born naturally by cooperating with underground ruling societies.
Right now the tall skinny man chimed in. "That is your weakness the rulers of the underworld hold in this Nanping City. With a little cooperation, you already consider them rich businessmen as life-sustaining heroes in your eyes. Even if you force them to pay more, they will not mind, they are confused to be accompanied by their innumerable treasures. So people don't think so shallow."
"Don't patronize me!!" gao Li Li Liang.
"Have you seen it on social media? Today too many wealthy people are showing off their wealth on social media video platforms. Don't you know what they mean? They deliberately show off because of confusion to spend where their treasures are. Or have you never seen it? Maybe you are the type of parent who does not understand the development of the era? Ahahaha!!" the man along with his four subordinates laughed at Gao Li Li Liang.
Indeed Gao Li Li Liang is difficult to adjust to modern technological advances. For him the internet world is very difficult he learned, he is indeed a person who uses a smartphone, but he does not really understand about the features of the smartphone. At the most remote he usually only uses the features of non-cash payment applications in the wechat application and camera to take pictures capturing the moment of a big meeting with some figures of rich people.
Being laughed at just like that certainly made the anger in Gao Li Liang's heart peak. He has never been laughed at in such a way. "Sat! Find dead!"
As he charged forward, he slashed a punch at the tall, skinny man's face.
Seeing the punch, the tall, thin man stepped back while his four subordinates directly surrounded Gao Li Li Liang. There was a four-on-one fight in the basement. Gao Li Liang who had been dabbling in the black world for decades certainly had a bit of martial skills. But the four people seemed to also have a little cleverness. He was able to compensate for the four brakers, although he sometimes received raw bogem from them, but Gao Li Li Liang's endurance was so strong that the blow he received did not mean much to him. Instead, he managed to review the mouth of a gnawer and slashed his teeth. And with his hard fist he also managed to break the nose of another.
Looking at the course of the battle, the tall skinny man looked for an opportunity to back Gao Li Li Liang up. Evidently, while Gao Li Liang was still busy serving his bully, the tall, thin man suddenly floated a loud lightning kick towards his left side head, causing Gao Liang to stagger to the right.
The situation was utilized by his subordinates by returning to send punches and kicks repeatedly. Gao Li Liang was certainly unable to fend off all of those attacks. Slowly he began to collapse on the floor, while four pairs of legs still continued to beat him to pieces.
He was determined even though he died this time, yet he had to drag his opponent away with him to the king of the afterlife.
So on one occasion he managed to catch a leg that floated towards his head and then suddenly stood up to sit, not releasing the legs of the opponent in his grip, then twist the opponent's leg which causes the owner to howl in pain.
"Adrrrghhhh!!! My leg.." she erred.
Seeing this, his comrades snorted furiously, they again threw a punch towards the still seated Gao Li Liang. Back dozens of punches perched on his body, at most on the part of his head that caused his face to swell.
On another occasion, he managed to catch the hand of the person who beat him up and dragged the man down and overpowered him and broke one arm of the opponent.
"Shelf!"there was the sound of bones shifting from his joints.
"Aarrgghh!! Keep him away from me!" erang the man who was of course followed by his comrades.
Each of them struggled to hold Gao Li Li Liang's hands to escape the person he was holding. But their efforts have not yielded results.
The tall thin man grew even more anxious, he this time decided to break also this person's body parts before sending him to the afterlife. So he pulled Gao Li Liang's unprotected right leg and broke it.
"Shelf!"
This of course made Gao Li Liang scream in pain and released the man he had been clutching.
After one leg was broken, there was no more resistance from him. He was currently just lying resignedly receiving every blow from his braggart.
Even his left hand was also broken by the tall skinny man. The man was truly vile, continuously torturing an already helpless opponent. If you want to kill, just kill, there is no need to make people tortured in such a way.
"Sat! I'll fight my life with you!" fia could only snap out her anger.
"Hehehe... It's old man, your time is up. It is time for you to disband your Hei Laohu Society. Let us the competent people who lead this Nanping. Later, Nanping will only be led by one association only. Not your society, nor the Xiongmeng de Shizi Society, much less the Bao Society. Hehehehe," as he spoke the man continued to kick him along with his four subordinates.
"No way!" he was getting louder, but he was no longer helpless.
Let alone to counter-attack, even to fend off their kicks that he no longer has the energy. Right now he was like a lump of meat that fell prey to a group of ferocious beasts.
I don't know how long he had been constantly receiving opponent's blows, until suddenly he heard the sound of a shoe squeak from behind the basement pole, not far from his position. Spontaneously, the blows from the bulldozer suddenly stopped.
He saw two of his bullies approaching someone behind the pole, but somehow, in just a blink of an eye the two men collapsed, one of them slammed from behind the pole, while the others fell backward before finally collapsing unable to stand up again.
He guessed that someone behind the pole must have been one of his subordinates who had come to give him some help, which made him feel a little relieved.
Then the other three braggarts came following there and heard the tall thin man rebuking. "Buck, who are you? Dare to act in front of me!"
"Who do you think I am?" sound again from behind the pole which then continued with the last sentence. "The person you're cracking is my in-laws. What am I supposed to call this?"
He immediately became more excited. That boy. It was that big, and already had a lover, but never introduced to her. Later he will scold his daughter.
"Hahaha...!! Yeah, so!! That's my great daughter-in-law. Finish them off, my son-in-law!!" she cheered.
"Huh? Since when did Gao Li Liang have a son-in-law?" there was again the voice of one of his opponents asking, but then it was silent, and he saw the three of them whispering to each other before separating. Two of them rushed to pick up their comrades from there. While the tall skinny man looks to start taking a fight with the mysterious person.
It was only then that he was able to see the person who was fighting the tall, thin man. The young man looked handsome with a simple but energetic dress when faced with the opponent's blows, even he had made the tall thin man overwhelmed.
He estimated that the young man was at least twenty-three years old or older, not far adrift with his daughter's age, this further convinced him that the young man was really his daughter's lover.
But he could no longer continue the thoughts that came to his mind, because someone came from the side and quickly stabbed the dagger into his stomach. Instantly he fainted....
