After being shocked, Zhou Yiming also realized that Dashan had united all his brothers through his own efforts. They formed a joint force and it was difficult to subdue them with crooked means. If he wanted to deal with them, he could only You can use fair and just means, otherwise, if you take action rashly, not only will you fail to achieve the purpose of dealing with them, but it may also backfire on you in the end and put you in a dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming began to plan in his mind how to tell the ingenious method in his mind. Just when he was concentrating all his energy and thinking about it again and again, he suddenly felt someone approaching him.
Having practiced martial arts for a long time, he instinctively prepared for defense, and then suddenly turned around. He wanted to check who this uninvited guest was before attacking him.
Originally, he thought that the people close to him were probably those strong men, because after all, they were the subordinates of Manager Li. After he had just eliminated Manager Li, they were probably holding a grudge and were waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against him.
But after turning around, he realized that his guess was completely wrong. The person close to him turned out to be shopkeeper Lu.
In fact, Shopkeeper Lu approached Zhou Yiming in full view of the public. Such behavior would be risky, because although the strong men in the bank had become useless and no longer posed any threat to him, they had recently risen to prominence. The gang of young guys still have huge destructive power, and they are extremely ambitious. They are likely to pose a huge threat to the power in the hands of Shopkeeper Lu in the future.
Under this situation, Shopkeeper Lu was very calm. Although he wholeheartedly hoped that Yi Ming would help him get rid of those guys, he also knew that before Yi Ming won, he would never fight with him. Get too close, because once he shows his kindness to Yi Ming, the gang of boys will immediately hate him to the bone, and will even publicly accuse him of cheating and not helping his own people at critical moments.
As a result, his situation was very dangerous. If things turned around in the end and Yi Ming didn't come up with a way to move Manager Li, he would have no way out.
When the time comes, Yi Ming is under tremendous pressure and can leave, but his life will not be easy. The gang of boys will definitely blame him for helping outsiders suppress their own people, and then take this opportunity to attack him and rob him. His money and property.
Once things develop to this point, even if he has the support of the court's forces behind him, there is nothing he can do. After all, those forces are only asking for money to help him, and there is no need to fight for him. Moreover, after those gangs get their property, , you can also pay tribute to them, you don’t have to do anything, you can just sit and count the money. With such good things waiting for them, why should they help you?
Precisely because he knew these stakes in his heart, even though Yi Ming fought fiercely with the gang of boys and was even in a life-or-death situation for a time, shopkeeper Lu always sat firmly in the Chinese military tent and never expressed his support for anyone.
He had even decided in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, he would remain silent until the end, until Yi Ming and the gang of boys decided the winner.
But this thought did not last long in his mind, because an accident happened soon. When those young men told Yi Ming that as long as he did not use force, he could make any demands to them, shopkeeper Lu was moved. , He thought that this was the best time to get rid of the gang of boys. As long as Yi Ming took this opportunity to put forward conditions to the gang of boys, if he won in the end, he would let them get out of the bank. In this way, But he got rid of a serious problem for himself.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu stared at Zhou Ming excitedly, hoping that he would quickly make the request he had envisioned. As long as he accomplished the task, after it was accomplished, he could thank him however much he wanted.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I stared at Yi Ming for a long time, but before he could say his request, the gang of boys had internal discord and conflicts. They started to rebel and dog bite dog.
Faced with such a situation, Shopkeeper Lu was greatly disappointed. After reflection in his mind, he felt that his thoughts just now were too wishful thinking. That young disciple must be a very selfish person with such a strong martial arts training. If he didn't If you talk to him and tell him your requirements, how can he think about you?
Maybe when the request came up later, the young man would just speak like a lion and ask the boys for money, but other than that, he wouldn't be able to say anything useful.
Thinking of this, shopkeeper Lu became worried, because there were two ways in front of him at this time. One was to take advantage of the internal fighting among the gang of boys to quietly walk up to Yi Ming and tell him what he thought and ask him. Taking action to deal with the gang of guys on his behalf will undoubtedly bring him huge benefits, but it also hides huge risks, because as long as he is not careful, his motives will be revealed. By then, he may They will become the target of public criticism and fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.
The other road in front of them is relatively smooth. If he chooses this road, he only needs to remain silent, continue to watch indifferently, and wait for the opportunity, because he has full confidence in Yi Ming and believes that he does not need to be reminded by himself. , will also beat the gang of boys to pieces. Even if there is an accident midway, it will be completely late for him to intervene at that time.
The restless shopkeeper Lu couldn't sit still anymore when he was thinking about this important issue. He stood up from his chair and paced back and forth around the chair.
The attention of the strong men was originally attracted by the young guys over there. After all, this kind of internal fighting is very rare. They always like to watch the excitement, how could they miss such a good show.
Only halfway through the play, they suddenly realized that something was wrong. They turned around and looked around, only to realize that shopkeeper Lu, who had been as steady as a mountain, had stood up from his chair at some point. At this moment, he was looking down. Head, pacing back and forth, as if he was worried.
The strong men gathered together, lowered their voices, and talked one after another: "
"What's going on? Those boys are all fighting. Logically speaking, our shopkeeper should be happy when he sees this scene. Why is he looking so sad now? It seems like someone owes him money. It won’t be the same again.”
"I'm confused too. Just now I was just watching the gang of boys fighting among themselves, and I didn't notice at all why the shopkeeper was so worried."
"In my opinion, let's stop guessing. This matter has nothing to do with us. There is no reward for guessing correctly.
Let's just be honest and find ways to save ourselves when nothing happens. "
After hearing these last words, the strong men who were originally full of curiosity were all speechless, because they suddenly realized that they were not qualified to care about other people's affairs at the moment, because once Zhou Ming solved the gang Little fellow, he will be the first one to settle accounts with them.
After realizing this, all the strong men became depressed. Everyone exchanged looks with each other, thinking in their hearts, we are so ridiculous. We are all about to die, but we still have the leisure to worry about others. .
The strong men shook their heads and sighed, and then turned their attention to the gang of boys again. The reason why they did this was not that they planned to give up on saving themselves, but that they really couldn't think of a good way to save themselves, so they could only enjoy the hardships. , distract yourself.
Shopkeeper Lu, who was highly concentrated, didn't notice the actions of the strong men at all. After repeated weighing, he finally decided to choose the second path, because this path was the least dangerous and had the most variables, and even if things got desperate As long as he didn't break up with those guys, he would have the confidence to use various means to control them.
After making up his mind, Shopkeeper Lu's nervousness relaxed. Just when he was about to sit back on the chair and continue to observe what happened to Yi Ming and the others, something unexpected happened to him again.
When the internal fighting broke out among the gang of boys, Shopkeeper Lu felt that it was really God who helped me. The small group that these people had just formed was so disunited and started dog-eat-dog. It was obvious that they were all a mob, even if This internal strife did not cause them to fall apart, but it would also dissociate them and greatly weaken their combat effectiveness.
But what he never expected was that the direction of this farce was completely beyond his expectation. Instead of weakening the strength of these young guys, the internal fighting allowed Dashan to seize the opportunity and turn the crisis into a turning point, allowing these people to They are more united, and this suddenly makes the whole situation become crisis-ridden and undercurrents are surging.
Shopkeeper Lu knew very well that even if these people were not united, it would be difficult for him to control them after the young disciple left. Now they have shown unprecedented cohesion. If the young disciple let them go and left them to himself If so, he will definitely die in their hands.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu no longer hesitated. He immediately changed his mind and planned to take the initiative and seek help from Yi Ming. Even if doing so would anger the gang of boys, he didn't care anymore, because if he just sat there and waited, he would never There is no hope of winning.
After making up his mind to die, shopkeeper Lu stood up, looked back at the group of weak strong men, then smiled, then turned around and walked towards Zhou Ming impassionedly.
When the strong men saw this scene, they were all stunned. They really didn't understand what Shopkeeper Lu was planning to do when he walked towards that place of right and wrong at this time. Doesn't he know that doing this will set him on fire and bring him huge trouble?
The confused strong men looked at each other, none of them understood what Shopkeeper Lu was thinking.
