Outside the Third Ring Road, in the woods.
After Lao Mao dialed Ma Hanhua's number, the other party's voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"
"Brother Hua, I am Lao Mao!"
The old cat glanced at the muzzle of the gun in front of him and asked in a hissing voice: "Where are you? Should I go find you?"
Ma Hanhua asked back: "Didn't you say you had something to do tonight and couldn't come over?"
Old Mao changed the subject: "I've settled the matter here, how are you doing with the accounts over there? Is it going well?"
"Don't mention it. This matter is quite tricky. I just held him down! If you have nothing to do, come to the Soviet Area. I'm going to go... Hey, where are we going?"
Ma Hanhua exchanged a few words with Li Jifeng on the opposite side and said into the phone: "When you arrive in the Soviet District, walk southeast along the Dalai Line. When you pass near Wangxiu Village, there is a Dawei Panel Factory on the roadside."
"Okay! I'll rush over there right now!"
Lao Mao hung up Ma Hanhua's call and said to Lu Tao: "Brother Tao, you heard our call, I didn't have any evil intentions at all!"
Lu Tao took away Lao Mao's cell phone, pulled his hair, and stuffed him directly into the trunk. Then he got back in the car and said to Jin Rui: "Drive back to the Soviet District and go to Wangxiu Village. You can make a call." Call a few reliable friends to come over and help.”
"..."
Forty minutes later.
Jin Rui drove down Central Street and turned onto a bumpy fourth-class highway. Looking at the dilapidated houses on both sides of the road, he said to Lu Tao: "Brother Tao, we have arrived at the Dalai Line. The friend I found has already arrived. Wang Xiucun is waiting for us at the roadside."
Lu Tao nodded: "Go directly."
…
There are many factories around the Dalai Line, but they are generally small in scale.
The Dawei Panel Factory where Li Jifeng works was converted from a farmhouse. There is a paint sign with red letters on a white background outside the courtyard gate. There is only a small factory building inside, and the yard is filled with cut logs.
In the factory building with air leakage everywhere, the incandescent lamp above the head was blown from side to side by the draft, and the lights were colorful.
Under the incandescent light, a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing pajamas, was tied to a chair behind his back, his face was bruised and bruised, and he looked like he had been beaten.
Opposite the middle-aged man, Ma Hanhua also had a few bloodstains on his face. Sun Qiang, who led him to arrest the person, and Ma Hanhua's three younger brothers were all standing behind him.
Ma Hanhua lit a cigarette and asked the middle-aged man: "Your name is Zhao Fengnian, right?"
When Zhao Fengnian heard Ma Hanhua's question, he responded in a low manner: "Boss, I know you are helping Li Jifeng. This is a grudge between me and him. Can you let me talk to him?"
When Ma Hanhua heard this, he walked up to Zhao Fengnian and pressed the cigarette butt directly on his forehead: "Fuck you! You don't treat me as a human being?"
"Ouch!"
Zhao Fengnian was so shocked that he shouted quickly: "The dispute between Li Jifeng and me is just financial. You don't have to treat people so badly, right?"
"You think I'm abusing people before I take action? If it were my brother here, I wouldn't scare you to death!"
Ma Hanhua sneered at Zhao Fengnian: "By the way, you haven't introduced yourself yet, have you? My name is Ma Hanhua, and I am the biological brother of Tiexi Ma Hancai!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Fengnian forgot about the pain and turned pale.
There are no people of their age group, especially those in business, who don’t know this name.
Around the turn of the millennium, there was even a saying in Shencheng's business circles: We are not afraid of industrial and commercial taxation, but we are afraid of Tiexi Ma Hancai. Those in uniforms are easy to manage, and those who are in charge of poker can be killed or buried.
The poker in this jingle is Ma Hancai’s nickname.
Ma Hanhua has been out there for so many years and is especially good at dealing with businessmen of Zhao Fengnian's age.
Although his brother is dead now, his influence is still there. This method has been tried repeatedly by Ma Hanhua.
Seeing the nervous look on Zhao Fengnian's face, Ma Hanhua rubbed his palms: "I am different from my brother. My brother does everything with ruthlessness, but I am reasonable! I heard that Xiaofeng sent someone to Dongling before I asked you to ask for accounts, but you asked the local gangsters to get them all out! What's the matter, you are a local leather shoe, you have quite a lot of energy?"
"Brother Hua, this is different from what you heard! We have indeed had conflicts before, including those who are fighting against you today. They are all workers of my family. I am a responsible person and have no dealings with the big brothers in the world."
Zhao Fengnian looked at Ma Hanhua aggrievedly: "I owe Li Jifeng a total of 110,000 yuan. I originally gave him the principal, but he always avoided me! Who would have thought that it has only been three months? The interest calculated for me was over one million! Don’t you think this is blackmail?”
Ma Hanhua immediately narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean, are you here criticizing Sanghuai?"
Zhao Fengnian quickly explained: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Li Jifeng..."
"Bang!"
Ma Hanhua flew up and kicked down Zhao Fengnian and his chair: "Fuck you, Li Jifeng is my friend, if you scold him, you are scolding me!"
"Hooraa!"
When the three young men around Ma Hanhua saw this, they also rushed forward and punched and kicked Li Jifeng.
After about ten seconds, Ma Hanhua waved his hand: "Okay, take him to the yard and hang the ice lantern."
After everyone heard this, they dragged Zhao Fengnian into the yard and started pouring buckets of icy well water on him.
Under the severe cold, Zhao Fengnian could no longer bear it any longer. His body felt like it was on fire and he started shouting for help.
Li Jifeng in the concierge heard the shouting and walked out with a smile: "Old Zhao, stop shouting! There is no one around here for hundreds of meters, and no one will listen to your mourning! Just listen to my advice and just follow my instructions. We signed the contract at our request, and we will remain friends in the future."
Zhao Fengnian was almost going crazy from the torture. When he saw Li Jifeng, he shouted with splitting eyes: "Li Jifeng, I'm going to fuck your bloody mother! If you have the guts, kill me today! Don't even think about the contract." think!"
"You are good at everything, but you are too stubborn! You have turned into such a bear. Are you saying that you would rather die than surrender if you pretend to be a chicken with me?"
Li Jifeng smiled coldly and said to Ma Hanhua: "Brother Hua, this guy is a piece of shit. I can't handle him. Please worry more."
Ma Hanhua looked at Zhao Fengnian, whose hair was already frozen, and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I've seen this kind of stuff a lot, and I will definitely give you an explanation tonight."
"Buzz!"
While the two were talking, there was suddenly a sound of engine roaring outside.
"Bang!"
Before anyone could react, the iron gate of the yard was violently knocked open, and the door bolt flew several meters away, creating a spark on the wall.
"Squeak!"
Immediately afterwards, a Liberty Ship and a van stopped violently in the courtyard, and several figures carrying knives and sticks rushed towards the crowd.
Sun Qiang looked at a figure getting off the Liberty Ship, and shouted in a different tone: "The person coming is Lu Tao!"
