Chapter 27: Chapter 25 Prepare to Dig a Pit (Seeking Favorites Recommendations!)_1
How to dig this pit and trap them in it?
Tang Qing already had a plan.
Although it wasn’t exactly a good strategy.
The success rate wasn’t one hundred percent, but at least it was a plan.
Tang Qing was also gambling.
He was betting that they would act according to his plan. Life itself is a gamble, isn’t it? He wasn’t manipulative enough to have a perfect plan, and there were many loopholes in this performance.
But taking a risk might be worth it.
Once he had made up his mind.
Tang Qing went to the kitchen and called Li Jianguo aside.
"Uncle Li, I need your help. I’ve devised a plan to deal with those hooligans outside, and it can eliminate future troubles. Could you find a smart waiter to provoke them into making a scene?"
"Eventually, we’ll need that waiter to get a little hurt. After the plan is executed, I can privately reward him ten thousand yuan, and I will cover all the losses at the restaurant today."
"As soon as we start our operation, immediately call the police, try to get them arrested. I’ll need you to go to the police station as well, and once you’re there you should do this ..."
Tang Qing explained his plan in detail to Li Jianguo.
"Would it be okay to...?" Li Jianguo asked nervously.
He really couldn’t understand why Tang Qing did this. There was no benefit, and it would cost a lot of money. Even if they had a fight, it was impossible to ban those people forever, and this would definitely affect the business of the restaurant.
"Don’t worry, Uncle Li, just follow my instructions. All losses will be on me. Remember to contact the chief. Name my uncle. Avoid anyone else." Tang Qing repeatedly admonished.
Li Jianguo weighed the pros and cons.
Doing this.
It would definitely impact the business, and there were risks, especially if customers got involved. But he believed that Tang Qing would not act rashly; he should have his reasons.
However, after a moment.
Li Jianguo made up his mind.
He chose to trust Tang Qing.
"Okay, I’ll find someone suitable for the job." Li Jianguo responded solemnly.
"Thank you for your trust, Uncle Li. Rest assured, I know what I’m doing." said Tang Qing.
Seeing Tang Qing’s confident expression.
Li Jianguo felt reassured, even though he had never provoked such trouble before, he was a little nervous. He even felt like he had become the villain.
Li Jianguo was a decisive man.
Once he made up his mind, he would put it into action, and do it well.
Soon after.
Li Jianguo went to the hall to find the suitable person.
Tang Qing and Li Kai stood by the cashier counter, ready to handle any emergencies. As for being late to school, he didn’t care about it at the moment. In front of his uncle’s future, even a big thing should be put aside.
He believed that his uncle wouldn’t blame him afterward.
As for Li Kai.
His father was busy now and didn’t have time to babysit him, moreover, his academic performance was quite good, so missing half a day of school was not a big deal.
.......
Returning to the three hooligans.
The man with the birthmark is called Zhu Rui.
He was the eldest among the three men.
They used to work in the same factory but didn’t know each other. After a fight over a female factory worker, they became fast friends, swearing brotherhood just like the classic tale of the Oath of the Peach Garden.
However, because all three of them were lazy.
And they had similar tastes for stirring up trouble and harassing female employees. Within half a year, they were fired by the boss.
After being fired.
The three of them couldn’t make big money, and they didn’t care about small money. They lived on the students’ pocket money and occasionally acted as hired thugs. They never thought they would become murderers.
That time.
The three of them went to eat dinner at an agritainment in the suburbs of the city.
After dinner, they could not find any transportation back as it was too late, and there were no buses. So they decided to stroll around late through the night since they were all night owls. During their aimless wandering, the three of them needed to relieve themselves and entered a small alley. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Unfortunately.
They encountered a drunk young man who was throwing up. The man insulted Zhu Rui’s birthmark. Even though the man seemed well-off, the drunk trio didn’t care.
They immediately lost their temper.
They used fists and kicks to beat the man. The man tried to fight back, but accidentally hit Zhu Rui’s crotch. Zhu Rui instantly fell to the ground, unable to rise for a long time due to the pain.
Zhu Rui, who had not yet sobered up.
Felt a rush of rage.
He immediately pulled out a knife and stabbed the man.
Unexpectedly, he killed the man instantly. After sobering up, they didn’t care and each of his friends also stabbed the man once, showing their brotherhood. They then robbed the man and continued on their aimless journey.
They had walked for less than an hour.
In the cool evening breeze.
The alcohol gradually wore off.
The three of them finally realized what they had done. They were terrified and shivered with fear.
They, who were used to bullying ordinary people, couldn’t accept the fact that they had suddenly become murderers. But since the deed was done, there was no turning back, and all three of them were involved.
No one could escape.
Zhu Rui’s family lived in a village in the suburbs of Qingyan City.
The other two were from other provinces, so they planned to flee to Qingyan City together. The three of them usually did their own things and didn’t have much contact with local forces, so their departure did not garner attention.
They first lived in Zhu Rui’s home in the village for several months.
They were scared all the time, worried that the police would show up one day.
However, as they waited and waited, nothing happened. Plus, upon retrospection, they had practically left no evidence. The knife was still with them, there were no fingerprints at the scene, no eyewitnesses, and no surveillance.
Their rebellious nature made them bolder as time passed.
They came to the city to seek a way out.
But no one wanted to hire them due to their unscrupulous character. They were fired from a few jobs they found in a matter of a few days. Finally, they resorted back to extortion, targeting students. But this income barely covered their expenses.
Then they noticed a new restaurant had opened.
They decided to extort it.
The fees weren’t high, so even if they were caught, detention at best was all they faced. They were indifferent.
In the end, they focused on this specific restaurant. They wanted to test their strategy, if successful, they would apply the ’successful experience’ to other restaurants. Of course, they dared not approach larger restaurants,
That would be simply courting death.
The small henchman on the left said to Zhu Rui, "Big Brother, let’s eat here every day, the food is really good."
Zhu Rui took a bite of Twice-Cooked Pork.
Chewing disdainfully, he said,
"Fine, the store owner wouldn’t dare to object. This is the fastest way to make money, why didn’t we think of this earlier." Seeing Li Jianguo obediently paying up, it’s clear he had no backing.
That’s why they thought bullying him would be quite safe.
"What about the cashier, she’s pretty tempting." Another henchman also leaned over and whispered.
"They usually live in the dormitory and return together. It’s hard to make a move." Zhu Rui furrowed his brows. He had been pondering how to get Zhang Jing since their first meeting.
But an appropriate opportunity had not presented itself yet.
"No worries, Big Brother, getting a feel of her wouldn’t be too bad either."
"Alright, we just accidentally touched her, that’s all. What’s the big deal? Haha, great idea." Zhu Rui laughed heartily, and he already had a plan in his mind.
"Big Brother, when are we going back to Province City?"
"Next year. If nothing happens by then, that means we’ve escaped the law. The police haven’t found us yet, which can only mean they don’t know about us."
"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."
The three chatted idly and sporadically.
Occasionally they would comment about the dining guests and point out beautiful women, their arrogant laughter causing the surrounding diners to quickly finish their meals and leave.
...
In the meantime,
A smart male server had fully memorized the ’script’.
Li Jianguo specifically hired him. His name was Qian Zheng, very clever and appreciative of having a job after his past wanderings in society. Upon giving some instructions, he knew what to do.
Qian Zheng carried a teapot to the trio’s table.
He couldn’t help but feel nervous.
After all, according to the boss’s plan, he was about to take a beating.
But thinking about the boss’s promise of ten thousand yuan, his courage immediately soared. Ten thousand yuan was equivalent to several months of his salary, and since his boss and coworkers were nearby, they would come to help immediately if he was hit.
Thinking this,
Qian Zheng took a deep breath.
Noticing the trio was engrossed in their conversation and ignored him,
Qian Zheng moved next to Zhu Rui, poured hot water into the already bottomed-out cup. As he was about to ’start filming’, his hands began to tremble imperceptibly due to nerves.
But the tremors were not severe.
He glanced at the trio, took a deep breath, and tilted the cup in his hand, the contents spilling out onto Zhu Rui’s thighs. Because of his nervousness, he tipped it too much, and half of the water spilled onto Zhu Rui’s crotch.
Though it was autumn,
The weather in Qingyan City wasn’t cold. Zhu Rui was wearing thin shorts and flip-flops that day. The scalded areas immediately sent shockwaves of pain through his entire body, and Qian Zheng shuddered at the thought.
"Ahh, what are you doing? You burned me." Zhu Rui yelped, jumping up.
He tried to wipe the water off his shorts, but the hot water had already seeped into the thin material, sending a burning sensation coursing through Zhu Rui’s body.
"Big bro, are you okay?"
"Kid, are you looking for trouble? I think you did it on purpose." Another henchman also stood up.
"Guys, Oh...I’m burned. Get him for me. He has to pay for this." He hadn’t recovered from the initial shock yet, clutching his crotch and pointing at Qian Zheng, shouting angrily.
On hearing this,
The henchman closest to Qian Zheng slapped him.
Qian Zheng didn’t dodge,
And braced himself for the slap.
"Slap."
After the echoing sound of the slap,
Qian Zheng immediately ’followed the script’, lying down on the ground, covering his face and wailing, shouting: "Ah, someone’s hitting me! Call the police, someone’s hitting me. Help, it hurts..."
Qian Zheng lay on the ground, wailing non-stop.
Anyone unaware of the situation might think he was severely injured.
The henchman who hit him was a bit stunned. Did his strength increase? He didn’t use much force, how could he have hurt someone this bad? He couldn’t help but feel that something was off.
But then,
He promptly dismissed the idea. The top priority was to get the boss to compensate. With so many witnesses and the guy on the ground screaming like a slaughtered pig, he decided not to hit him further.
The other henchman also halted in his tracks,
Looking towards Zhu Rui,
Waiting for him to make a decision.
Now, it was time for Li Jianguo and his crew to step in.
With seven or eight servers, a few kitchen helpers, and Tang Qing and Li Kai, about a dozen strong men surrounded Zhu Rui’s trio. They had the upper hand in terms of sheer intimidation.
Upon seeing this,
Zhu Rui also felt a bit scared inside.
They didn’t want to make a big scene, they just wanted to extort a little more money.
As for threatening the other party with a dagger hidden in his pocket, that would be a joke.
Given that there were so many onlookers, if he pulled out his dagger, that would change everything. More importantly, this was a restaurant, full of cutlery. It would simply be asking for trouble to get into a knife fight in such a place.
Imagine a scene of dozens of men with knives surrounding them. Zhu Rui dared not even think about it. The best course of action now was to exploit the fact that he was in the right to achieve his goal.
