In Dongwu City, there are several docks along the river that runs across the entire city.
As long as you can master one of the docks, your daily income will be a huge amount.
The Red Blood Gang was once attacked by masked thugs. Not only were most of its members killed and injured, but many buildings housing people were also destroyed.
Afterwards, with the help of important people, the dock where the Red Blood Gang stopped operating quickly resumed normal operations.
While the flow of funds was not cut off, the severely damaged Red Blood Gang quickly recovered its strength and gradually gained momentum over other gangs.
"You bitch, please get up and move the goods." A fierce-faced supervisor swung the whip in his hand and shouted at the porter who was slumped on the ground.
"We have been working all morning and are very tired. Let us rest for a while!" The porter in shabby clothes begged.
"No one else is tired and asked to rest, so why should I let you rest... If you are not willing to do this work, then get out of here." The fierce-looking supervisor frowned, his face filled with tears. With an unhappy expression, he cursed.
The porter in shabby clothes did not want to lose the job at hand, because his whole family relied on his job to support him, so he gritted his teeth and stood up under the insults of the vicious supervisor. Continue working with a tired body.
The Red Blood Gang has regrouped and become more powerful than before. Now it has become even more unscrupulous in exploiting the porters under its command.
The sounds of whips and stern shouts echoed on the dock and drifted into the distance.
Not far from the pier, there is a large tree with lush branches.
Two figures in brocade clothes stood in the shade of the big tree, looking at the people in the distance. The squeezing porter chatted.
"Fang Jingtang, you and the Feilong Gang have been fighting openly and secretly recently, and it is about to become common knowledge." Wu Xiong said.
"We originally wanted to develop with peace of mind, but the people from the Feilong Gang went too far." Fang Jingtang looked at the confidant of the head of the Wu family in front of him and replied.
Wu Xiong frowned, "Master, he doesn't want you to be so arrogant. You should restrain yourself from now on."
"..." After hearing this, Fang Jingtang was silent for two or three seconds, and then nodded, " Please rest assured, Mr. Wu , We will definitely restrain ourselves in the future."
"Yes." After hearing what Fang Jingtang said, Wu Xiong's frown immediately relaxed, with a teachable expression on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction. He bowed his head and left.
"Tap, step, step..."
A sound of footsteps came from behind, Liu Qizhi came to Fang Jingtang's side, looked at Wu Xiong who was getting away, and complained in a low voice .
"The Wu family is really unreasonable. It's obviously the Feilong Gang who are trying to resist us, but they are telling us to restrain ourselves. They don't care about our feelings at all..."
"..." Fang Jingtang was silent. He didn't speak until Liu Qizhi's figure disappeared. Only then did he speak to the men around him.
"In the eyes of these big shots, no matter how much benefit we can bring them, we are still chess pieces that can be abandoned at any time."
Liu Qizhi felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words. , but he also knew that this was the fact, a fact that little people like them could not resist.
"Later, tell the brothers below that if people from the Feilong Gang come again to cause trouble, everyone should bear with it and don't scold them, let alone fight with them." Fang Jingtang explained.
"Yes." Liu Qizhi nodded, and then he talked about another thing, "The buyer has been found, and the girls can be transported away tomorrow."
"Send more people to escort them all the way tomorrow. , don’t be kidnapped by that group of people again,” Fang Jingtang said.
"Yes." Liu Qizhi responded, "I am fully prepared this time. If those guys who call themselves knights dare to rob our goods again, I will make sure they never come back..."
As he spoke, Liu Qizhi's eyes flashed with cold light, and his body exuded a vicious aura.
"By the way, how did you find out about the masked murderer who attacked us? Do you have any news about him?" Fang Jingtang asked about something that he was very concerned about.
Liu Qizhi shook his head and replied, "I arranged a lot of people to find out about the masked murderer who attacked us.
Since that day, that guy has disappeared. I speculate that he may have left Dongdong. Wucheng."
"Huh..."
Fang Jingtang breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed physically and mentally.
He had a deep understanding of the horror of the masked murderer. Since that day, there has been no news about the masked murderer. He was actually very nervous, fearing that he would jump out again.
"Gang leader, Mr. Wu has arranged many experts here for us. If that guy dares to attack us again, we will settle all the old and new grudges together." Liu Qizhi said fiercely.
After that day, Liu Qizhi, who was seriously injured, was very afraid of the masked murderer, and originally wanted to pack up his girlfriend and escape from Dongwu City.
Later it was discovered that the Wu family, who secretly supported the Red Blood Gang, sent many experts to help.
This made Liu Qizhi, who wanted to escape from Dongwu City, immediately give up his small thoughts and began to help Fang Jingtang wholeheartedly to strengthen the Red Blood Gang.
After these days of recuperation, the strength of the Red Blood Gang is far greater than before. Coupled with the many masters sent by the Wu family, Liu Qizhi became swollen, and he very much hoped that the masked murderer would appear again.
"If that guy comes to trouble us again, even if the master sent by the Wu family to help us can kill him, we will still suffer some losses.
My primary goal now is to develop the Red Blood Gang into Dongwu The largest gang in the city, if you can, do your best not to suffer losses during this period." Fang Jingtang expressed his thoughts briefly and comprehensively.
Liu Qizhi nodded understandingly and stopped talking about this matter, but he secretly complained to Fang Jingtang.
“Our strength is getting stronger and stronger, why is Fang Jingtang’s courage getting smaller and smaller?”
…………
In the bustling restaurant, Lin Li drank the remaining half glass of orange juice in one gulp. After eating and drinking, he shouted to the waiter not far away.
“Waiter, check out.”
“Sir, a total of three hundred and forty-five copper coins.” The waiter in the store answered with a smile.
Lin Li took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, pulled out a few and handed them to the other party.
"Sir, I'm going to give you change. Please wait a moment." The waiter said.
"There's no need to look for it. The remaining change will be considered as the reward I'll give you." Lin Li was quite fond of the waiter who warmly received him. He waved his hand and stood up to leave.
"Sir, please go slowly. Welcome to come again next time." The waiter sent Lin Li out of the restaurant with a happy smile on his face.
The bright sunshine falls on the body, making people feel a little hot.
Lin Li was about to continue shopping in the commercial street in front of him, when he suddenly saw someone selling shaved ice on the roadside not far away.
Although he had just finished lunch and his stomach was quite full, the weather was a bit hot now, so Lin Li decided to buy a shaved ice in front and go shopping.
"Grandpa, do you want apple jam or plum jam?" The shaved ice seller was a young girl, probably no more than eighteen years old. At this moment, she asked the old man in front of her with a smile.
“Bring me some applesauce.” The old man with a gray beard replied with a smile.
“Okay.” The girl selling shaved ice nodded and started making it.
Lin Li was queuing up and looked over at the shaved ice seller making the shaved ice. He saw that she was doing a good job in hygiene, which made Lin Li even more relieved.
While everyone was waiting in line to buy shaved ice, a slutty strong man came to the girl selling shaved ice.
This man didn't look like a good person at first glance, but he smiled when he came to the little girl selling popsicles.
"Miss Zhao, your father lent us a sum of money, but now he is nowhere to be seen, so you understand."
The little girl selling shaved ice looked at the debt collector in front of her with an ugly expression. Han, she was about to say something when she saw the other party take out an IOU from his pocket.
"I'm not lying to you. This is the IOU signed by your father himself. Take a look." The strong man said with a dirty smile on his face, looking up and down at the little girl selling shaved ice.
"I happen to be short of a wife. If you are willing to marry me, I can pay back the money for you." The customers queuing up to buy shaved ice were all ordinary people. Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone whispered Muttering, no one dared to step forward and yell at the strong man.
"Huh..."
The chest of the little girl selling shaved ice rose and fell violently, making the strong debt collector's eyes widen, and the smile on her face became even more filthy.
"You take the money first, and I will collect the rest later."
The strong debt collector took a handful of money that the other party found from the drawer, and said with a smile , "I am a kind-hearted person and I will give you three days to collect the remaining money.
But let me talk ugly things first. If you don’t get the remaining money together in three days, you have to come with me. ”
After saying that, this self-proclaimed kind-hearted debt collector took away the freshly made shaved ice with applesauce on the table.
After he left, queued up The voices of the customers buying pop ice suddenly became louder.
“The people from the Red Blood Gang are really bad! ”
“Yes!”
"Weren't they attacked by a masked man before? I thought they were going to fall apart, but I didn't expect it to be better than before."
"This little girl is also pitiful, with such an irresponsible father. ”
“What will happen if she doesn’t get the remaining money together in three days?”
"What else can you do? If you can't collect the money, you will naturally be dragged into paying off the debt."
"During this period, many girls were kidnapped by the Red Blood Gang. To pay off the debt, as for where they ended up, I heard from my friends that they were basically sent to various flower houses to pick up customers.”
All the comments from the people around him fell on Lin Li's ears, which made him frown.
“It turns out that guy just now is from the Red Blood Gang! No wonder he is so arrogant.
They were doing this kind of business before. I didn’t expect that they are still doing this business after recovering their strength. ..."
The shop selling shaved ice An embarrassed smile appeared on the girl's face, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, let me get you another one."
The old man who had his shaved ice snatched away by the debt collector would naturally not blame the poor man in front of him. The little girl nodded and waited quietly.
A moment later, Lin Li was walking slowly down the street with a piece of shaved ice with plum sauce in his hand.
The cool shaved ice with plum sauce tastes very good.
However, the cold shaved ice could not reduce Lin Li's anger.
Originally, Lin Li wanted to wait a few days before visiting the Scarlet Blood Gang. After seeing what happened just now, he decided to visit the Scarlet Blood Gang tonight and give them a big gift.
Of course, although Lin Li's cultivation level has greatly increased now and is far stronger than the previous night attack on the Red Blood Gang, he is not worried at all even if the third-level practitioner who hindered him appears again this time.
However, even if you become stronger, you still need to do the investigation work in advance. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be foolproof.
"Wait until I settle the matter with the Red Blood Gang before I go shopping..." Lin Li had already made a decision in his heart. He stopped and muttered to himself.
At this time, a carriage was approaching in the distance. Lin Li saw that it was empty and raised his hand to wave.
"Xu..."
The coachman stopped the car and asked Lin Li, "Where are you going, Master?"
"Go to the dock of the Red Blood Gang."
"Twenty-five copper coins."
"Okay."
Lin Li boarded the carriage and looked at the street scene flashing outside the window , the thoughts in my mind couldn't help but diverge.

Inside the luxurious villa.
Qin Muqing, who has an ordinary appearance and a graceful figure, is washing dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, singing sweet songs from time to time.
Today at noon, Qin Muqing's lunch was no longer meaty at all. She had a hearty lunch with great pleasure.
Some time ago, Qin Muqing was always in a bad mood when looking at the pickled radish with no oil or water at all when eating.
Since Lin Li came back, her hard life has finally come to an end.
"Mr. Lin didn't come back for dinner at noon. I don't know if he will come back at night.
If he comes back for dinner at night, I will prepare a big meal for him."
Qin Muqing finished washing the dishes. He used chopsticks to wipe the water stains on his hands, and then went to dry the washed clothes.
"Huh..."
In the courtyard, the breeze blew the flowers, plants and trees, and the shadows on the ground kept shaking.
Qin Muqing hung up the washed clothes and was about to leave with the basin.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my heart.
"Bang."
The basin fell and hit the grass.
"Hiss..."
The pain made Qin Muqing shake her body, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She covered her high heart with her right hand, her red lips slightly opened, and she kept breathing in.
"Chirping..."
On the leafy tree, the bird standing on the branch saw Qin Muqing's uncomfortable look, and let out a series of calls, seemingly to Worried about Qin Muqing.
"Huh..."
Just when Qin Muqing was about to collapse because she couldn't hold on anymore, the severe pain in her heart disappeared, which made her let out a sigh of relief.
"This time it lasted a little longer than last time."
After Qin Muqing regained her composure, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, smoothed back her hair that was wet with sweat, and mouthed Said to himself.
"Chirping..."
The bird standing on the branch flew down and landed in front of Qin Muqing.
The little thing was jumping on the grass. This scene fell in Qin Muqing's eyes, and she said.
"Are you worried about me?"
"Thank you, I'm fine now."
