As for the other reasons, Wang Chen himself was not very clear. He just vaguely felt that he had a reason to do this.
"Huh? Is that so?" Qian Xiaomin was stunned. "This seems to be an idea that only businessmen have. Boss, would you, a person who wants to take a career path, think the same way?"
At the same time, Qian Xiaomin was thinking that Wang Chen was an orphan, but he still felt that he was lucky. This was a bit too strong.
"Professors also need luck." Wang Chen smiled.
He put the question aside and then asked about some situations in the store.
Qian Xiaomin replied.
Suddenly she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, boss, I remembered something a little troublesome."
"Huh? You say."
"It's about the protection money." Qian Xiaomin looked to the side, as if recalling, "It happened three days ago. A group of gangsters came to the store to collect protection money."
Wang Chen's heart was spinning when he heard this.
He knew that there were gangsters collecting protection fees, but he didn't take care of them. He didn't get much at first, and after collecting the fees, the gangsters did play a role in maintaining public order in the red light district.
Secondly, Qian Xiaomin also advised Wang Chen that although it seemed a bit frustrating to pay the protection fee, it was also for these homeless aliens.
If you don't pay and mess up the business, then you will lose a lot for a small amount of money.
Wang Chen thought it made sense, so he went with her thoughts for the time being.
Unexpectedly, something happened in the end.
"I was out of town for something, and other sisters took care of it. That little sister felt that she had paid the protection fee at the beginning of the month, so there was no reason to pay it again, so she argued with those gangsters."
"But the gangster didn't listen at all. He beat my little sister and trashed a shop."
"They took away all the money from the cashier. When they left, they threatened to come back next week to collect it. If they didn't give it back, they would destroy the store."
Wang Chen frowned, "Is your sister seriously injured?"
Qian Xiaomin was startled, "It's not serious, I was just slapped, and half of my face was swollen. After applying ice, the swelling subsided that night."
"That's good." Wang Chen thought, "Have you met that gangster before?"
"I looked at the surveillance in the store and confirmed that it was the person who collected the protection money before. When Sister Na'er was there, I handed it over to them. Her face looks familiar," Qian Xiaomin said.
"We should have said before that they seem to have been in the red light district for four or five years, right?" Wang Chen asked.
"I paid the protection fee every month before, and there was never any trouble, right?"
Qian Xiaomin nodded.
Wang Chen stared at the swirling vortex in the coffee cup, and an idea flashed through his mind, "Chain reaction."
"What?" Qian Xiaomin asked.
Wang Chen's tone was almost like mumbling to himself, so she didn't hear him clearly.
"Oh, I was just wondering if there would be a chain reaction." Wang Chen came back from his thoughts.
"This lawsuit will involve many security officers, and perhaps also the protection of this gang of gangsters."
Wang Chen explained: "So I was thinking, maybe they knew they were about to die, so they took advantage of the last moment to squeeze out more money as funds for their escape."
After listening to Wang Chen's guess, Qian Xiaomin thought carefully and nodded slowly, "It's very possible. I'll find someone to check and see if this is the case."
"If that's the case, then next time they come again, we might as well close the store. They won't be able to survive for a few days anyway."
Wang Chen shook his head, "There is no need to close the store. Even if they are about to finish playing, I won't tolerate them."
"Tell me the places where those people hang out. Brother Jie and I will go there later and teach them a lesson. If they can't get out of bed for a week, they won't be able to collect protection money."
Wang Chen's tone became cold.
Qian Xiaomin's expression became a little worried, "Is this necessary?"
Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "If you just want money, then that's it. But this time they hurt someone, and I can't turn a blind eye no matter what."
He looked at Qian Xiaomin, a businessman who was good at planning behind the scenes, and was obviously a little timid in the face of such a head-on conflict.
He said earnestly: "Tolerance will only make people push for the next step. Although that gang of gangsters may be almost finished, who can guarantee that there will be no other gangsters in the future?"
"The conflict three days ago, since one of the shops was destroyed, it must have been quite a big fuss, right?"
"Then if we don't have any strong response, I'm afraid we will be treated as soft persimmons by others in the future."
After hearing Wang Chen's words, Qian Xiaomin hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "I will send you the address of the places they often go to via Fetion."
"But please be careful. If you are injured, it will be difficult for me to handle it if Sister Na'er asks about it in the future."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, give me the name of the gangster you are familiar with and describe his appearance to me."
After Wang Chen got the information he wanted, Qian Xiaomin returned to Chunye Yuan.
Wang Chen sent a message to Wu Jiajie and sat in the cafe for a while.
After the latter came out of Chunyehara, he went out and briefly talked to him about the situation.
So the two of them went to the place where gangsters often hang out.
…
"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Wu Jiajie asked.
Wang Chen was walking and drinking the potion.
Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Brother Jie, help me sweep the formation and make sure nothing happens."
"It's just a gangster, I can still deal with it."
Wu Jiajie said: "I'm not worried that you can't beat the opponent, but I'm worried that you won't strike fast enough."
"We are in the city now, and there are too many involved. If you can't deal with the other side cleanly, I'm afraid it will be troublesome if you delay it for a long time."
Wang Chen thought for a moment after hearing this, and realized that Wu Jiajie was simply afraid that Wang Chen would be involved in another case.
So he said: "I will try to be as quick as possible, and we can cover our faces."
"Anyway, Qian Xiaomin hasn't found anyone to investigate and verify my guess, so I can only retaliate secretly."
"So as not to cause trouble to Haruhabara."
"That's a good relationship." Wu Jiajie flashed his fingers, and two black hoods and two sets of black work clothes appeared.
Wang Chen was stunned, "Brother Jie, do you still have such a thing? I'm still thinking of going to the clothing store to buy two scarves."
"And this set of clothes." Wang Chen was a little speechless, "Isn't it too professional? Do you often do this kind of thing?"
Wu Jiajie chuckled, "I was young too, and I know how to not give any excuses or excuses to my enemies."
"Okay, then please ask Brother Jie to take more care of me during this young and energetic action." Wang Chen said with a smile.
"Easy to say." Wu Jiajie whispered, "In order not to leave any clues behind, we have to..."
…
Plum Bar.
On the surface it is an entertainment venue open to the public, but in fact it is the home of gangsters who control the red light district and the two surrounding streets.
