Chapter 1 Chaos KTV

  Gao Wei had been holding back for a long time, and even dared not to show his face, basically hiding in several relatively safe entertainment venues every day. Sometimes, he would simply have dinner and play with a few friends from the public security system. He thought that the layer of tiger skin on these friends' bodies would at least prevent Bai Jingchu from launching a sudden attack.

  His idea was right, even the most powerful figures in the underworld would generally not openly attack law enforcement personnel. The crushing of the national violent machine will make many arrogant guys disappear into thin air.

  But can he hide behind others for the rest of his life? Moreover, this kind of hiding and seeking life is really worse than death for a playboy who indulges in wine and women every day.

  So, this matter has been settled. However, Qian Qi Yun that old fox is clearly uninvolved and detached, and Zhang Zi Qiang's father is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, hiding in the corner with his hands in his sleeves. In desperation, Gao Wei can only place his hopes on his father Gao Long Sheng's body. This is a society that abandons one's own father, who else can be abandoned at critical moments?

  So Gao Wei finally plucked up the courage and confessed this matter to Gao Longsheng.

  Gao Longsheng was taken aback at once and his head spun.

  These days, Gao Longsheng also heard the news that some guy who didn't know better had offended the fierce Bai Jingchu, and Bai Jingchu had already put out the word to "get back her face". This was Bai Jingchu's way of luring him in, intentionally not mentioning Gao Wei's name to show she wasn't clear about the details. It was a small smoke bomb to prevent her opponent from being too vigilant and making it hard for her to make a move.

  Gao Longsheng was slightly excited when he first heard the news. He thought to himself, "I wonder which blind fool offended the White Lotus Sect leader," and feared that the Jiangning underworld would be bustling again.

  But now Gao Longsheng finally realized that this blind idiot was actually his own son!!!

  "Little rabbit, are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Bald-headed and big-eared Gao Longsheng slapped his shiny bald head heavily, a habitual expression of his anxiety. "Kneel down for me! You dare to offend even Wang Ba Dan? That woman's Audi A8 doesn't even need an invoice, it can just drive straight into the city government!"

  "I just wanted to find trouble with Yi Jun, who knew I'd run into her." At this point, Gao Wei did feel a bit wronged. Of course, he still knelt down with a thud. "Dad, how about we pay..."

  "Are you kidding me, White Jingchu is short of those two cents?! This is a big joke! White Jingchu, White Jingchu... really headache! This woman is so fierce, so fierce!" Gao Longsheng was also at a loss, "I'll contact your father for you!"

  "Hmm..." Gao Wei swallowed his saliva and said, "I told Uncle about this, but he doesn't care."

  "You!" Gao Longsheng was on the verge of tears, "I'm going to be driven to death by you!"

  At this time, a slender and charming woman in her sleepwear walked down from the second floor. The woman's name was Xu Lin, who was over thirty years old and was Gao Longsheng's wife - of course, his younger wife. Gao Longsheng had long divorced Gao Wei's biological mother, and Xu Lin was the new mistress of this household.

  Money changes everything, and this becomes a reality for many men. Only poverty is shared, not wealth, which is also the bitter sorrow of many women. It's said that a wife who can't even afford to eat is not abandoned, but there are many Chen Shimei who become rich and heartless, and people like Gao Longsheng who have lost their conscience are everywhere.

  "Long Sheng, you'd better think of a way, Xiao Wei has made trouble and it's not right, but at this time, if you don't take care of it, who will?" Xu Lin stood up and spoke without any discomfort, but her words were very straightforward and dignified. On the one hand, she gave Gao Wei an excuse to step down, on the other hand, it also showed that she, as a stepmother, was very broad-minded. "Xiao Wei, hurry up and get up, kneeling can't solve the problem anyway."

  Gao Wei rarely showed gratitude to Xu Lin. This pig-like creature usually didn't bother to look at her, except for sneaking a peek at her stepmother's proud figure.

  Gao Longsheng was a bit frustrated, but in the end he still had to give his old brother Zhang Ziqiang a call. Although Zhang Ziqiang said he wouldn't get involved anymore, it was still possible to ask him for some ideas. Besides, even if Zhang Ziqiang didn't show up, helping to mediate wasn't impossible either.

  Zhang Ziqiang, Gao Longsheng's high school classmate, enlisted in the army together after graduating from high school and were assigned to the same company. After returning to Jiangning, the two became inseparable, like wolves and dogs that don't leave each other's side. Some people say that the most unbreakable relationships are those who have "shared a window seat, shouldered a gun together, and visited prostitutes together", and these three conditions were all met by these two men.

  Later in business, Zhang Ziqiang took good care of Gao Longsheng, and Gao Longsheng also gave Zhang Ziqiang a lot of money and women. The relationship is so close that it can be seen from this aspect. As a result, among the business people in Jiangning, Gao Longsheng was one of the few bosses who didn't have to call him "Director Zhang".

  "Zi Qiang, Xiao Wei just told me that this good-for-nothing little beast is going to drive us old folks crazy!" Gao Longsheng first scolded Gao Wei for a couple of sentences, then continued, "But this matter still needs to be resolved, otherwise if Bai Jingchu finds out it was Xiao Wei who did the deed, God knows what kind of crazy things that little slut will do!"

  Facing his old brother, Zhang Ziqiang couldn't help but sigh: "Longsheng, you don't know that behind Bai Jingchu is Vice Mayor Zhao, who is also a Standing Committee member of the Municipal Party Committee. Do you want me to go against Vice Mayor Zhao head-on? It's futile, even if I get my head broken and bleed, I still won't win."

  Then, Zhang Ziqiang intentionally made his tone a bit more serious, so as not to be accused of being an unhelpful elder brother. "I scolded Xiao Wei a few times, but do you think I really didn't care? It's just that I couldn't control it! I also asked Secretary Huang about this matter, but Secretary Huang was unwilling to come forward and mediate, saying that for cadres like them to intervene would be completely inappropriate."

  Huang Secretary, is the person in charge of the municipal public security and justice system - the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee. As a member of the Municipal Party Committee, he has almost the same level of power as Vice Mayor Zhao, a heavyweight leader in Jiangning politics, a deputy ministerial-level leader with real power.

  Zhang Ziqiang actually didn't mention this matter to Secretary Huang at all, just pretending not to know, anyway he was clear that Gao Longsheng had nothing to do with Secretary Huang, so let him fool around as he pleased. Moreover, by saying so, it showed that he wasn't unwilling to help, but rather wanted to help but couldn't.

  But Gao Longsheng heard this news, and his heart was like a basin of cold water. "What to do? Or... just settle it privately. The amount of money doesn't matter, the key is peace of mind. Didn't Bai Jingchu say she wanted to regain her face? If I and Xiao Wei lower our posture a bit, make some concessions, and compensate for the money, she can basically regain her face."

  In short, he is just being arrogant!

  But even if you admit defeat, you have to let the Jiangning underground circle know. If it's done privately and quietly with Bai Jingchu, who in the Jiangning underground circle would know that Bai Jingchu has regained face?

  What can't be seen doesn't count as face.

  As the head of the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Ziqiang had dealt with the underworld for too long and knew its three flavors. So he said: "Since you are willing to condescend, then things can still be negotiated. I'll have people gather all the big shots in the Jiangning underground circle, you let Xiao Wei apologize on the spot and compensate Bai Jingchu's losses twice, and this matter should be settled."

  Apologizing in front of a large number of dignitaries is quite embarrassing.

  However, face is just like this, if you don't throw it away, others will never be able to find the original quietness.

  Gao Long clenched his teeth and agreed. A businessman is best at enduring temporary grievances.

  ……

  Later, Zhang Ziqiang asked Qian Qiuyun, the number one figure in the Jiangning underground circle, to gather the big mixed numbers of the eight districts of Jiangning and some social celebrities who were deeply entangled with the underground mixed numbers, gathered at Shenhai Zhizun, saying that they wanted to set up a peace wine. Zhang Ziqiang himself still did not show his face, but only asked Qian Qiuyun to be the nominal host of this peace wine.

  Since it was a matter of convenience rather than trouble, Qian Qi Yun still agreed to grant Zhang Ziyong this favor.

  As for Bai Jingchu's side, it is unknown what kind of reaction there will be.
