There was no sound or a thorn in the billiard hall. In just a few dozen minutes, Wang Yao's actions had already calmed down these adult gangsters. They had been lying with little fools before, and they had less than a day with Wang Li. I thought I would ask for a wolf's nest, but I was like a tiger's nest. In this circle, success or failure is never judged by qualifications, and who can always compete with me is more ruthless.

Undoubtedly, Wang Yao did this and did it very well.

Then, Wang Yao announced several rules, such as not betraying his brothers, not bullying the weak, not colluding with his sister-in-law, etc., and divided his respective territory and formulated how much money each person paid per month. Everyone was convinced and no one interrupted from beginning to end.

After the meeting, Lao Bao and Yian were sent to the hospital. Lao Bao was better. Whether Yian's fingers could be taken back depends on his own luck. After all, Wang Yao was not as cruel as Wang Li, otherwise those two fingers would have been washed into the sewer.

After everyone left, I asked Zheng Wu and the others to go back first and stay with Wang Yao alone to cook for the funeral. A few broken billiard clubs and a tablecloth stained with blood, Wang Yao said that she would compensate according to the price. The boss dared not ask for it, and kept saying that it was not worth much. Wang Yao didn't say nonsense, walked out of the billiard hall with me, stayed in the dim room for a long time, and was still a little unable to adapt to the light outside. I stopped and rubbed my eyes. When I raised my head, I saw Wang Yao standing in front of me motionlessly.

"What's wrong?" I walked over and asked.

"It's okay." Wang Yao looked at the bustling traffic on the East Street and suddenly said, "Do you think I'm scary?"

I hesitated for a moment, and decided to say it truthfully, "It's a bit." I regretted it after saying it, and quickly added: "The main reason is that you feel that you have snatched all the limelight from me, and I am still going to go out to control them myself." But to be honest, if I were to do it, it might not be as good as Wang Yao.

Wang Yao smiled: "I dare to do this because you are behind me."

Whether it was true or not, I felt sweet when I heard it, and couldn't help but hug Wang Yao into my arms. Wang Yao did not object, but leaned on my shoulder. Only then did I feel her body trembling slightly.

"Just...I was so scared..." Wang Yao said softly.

With the traffic flowing, I hugged her tighter. It seemed to block the road of a certain car. The driver stuck his head out and cursed, saying that if the child is not good at studying, he dares to hug him on the main road. I pulled Wang Yao to the side of the road, and the car rushed away. I couldn't help but smile and said, "What would happen if he knew that he was scolding the boss of East Street just now?"

"I guess I want to be in the society, too." Wang Yao couldn't help but be happy.

"Is there anything else?" I asked her.

"Yes." Wang Yao said: "Do you still remember Ermao?"

Of course I remember that Wang Li said that it was their accountant. Wang Yao told me that Ermao did not attend the meeting this morning. Brother Cheng wanted to call him, but Wang Yao stopped him. This was their own affairs, and she didn't want outsiders to laugh at him. Wang Yao said: "I was afraid that he would have any unfaithful intentions, so I didn't alert him and asked Brother Cheng to check his current location."

I said with emotion: "Your brother is afraid that you can't take charge of the overall situation and ask me to help you. Now it seems that I can't use me at all."

Wang Yao punched her and said, "Don't behave yourself when you get a bargain!" Then she whispered, "I really can't live without you now."

The same sentence, whether it is true or not, I feel sweet in my heart.

I shook Wang Yao's hand and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Before Brother Cheng finds Ermao's location, let's go and see the old lady first."

In the chemotherapy department office of the municipal hospital, we met the attending doctor in charge of the old lady. After indicating his identity and purpose, the doctor told us that the old lady is in a very bad condition now and has been transferred to the ICU ward, and is in danger of life at any time. The implication is that "rather than wasting money here, it is better to be discharged from the hospital and wait for death (of course I didn't say so bluntly)". Wang Yao firmly stated that she must continue the treatment. The doctor said that it is OK, pay the fee to continue the next chemotherapy.

Wang Yao has no money now, so I helped her first, and of course I still use public funds. Wang Yao said that after contacting Ermao, I would definitely pay back my money. I said it was okay, this is doing good and accumulating virtue, and my brothers would not object. Wang Yao said: "This is not doing good and accumulating virtue. These four words are never in my brother's dictionary. It's just that the old lady saved my brother's life, so my brother treated her kindly." She emphasized this way, because she was afraid of bearing the name of "good". In this circle, she could survive by "evil".

In the icu ward, we met an old lady who was withered. Because of the torture of esophageal cancer, the old lady was already skinny and bone-skinned, but she was still very clear. She held Wang Yao's hand and said, "Where is your brother? Wang Yao said that my brother went out to do something and would not come back in the short term. I will take care of you for the time being. The old lady said a few words and lost her strength. She could only repeatedly say that your brother is a good person and your brother is a good person. As she said that, she shed two turbid tears.

After seeing the old lady, Wang Yao received a call from Brother Cheng, saying that he had found Ermao's location.

"Okay, wait for me under the bell tower." Wang Yao said.

The Bell Tower is one of the landmark buildings of East Street. We met Brother Cheng and Wang Li’s brothers below the Bell Tower. They were all wearing black windbreakers that were the same style as Wang Li. Later I learned that they would wear this kind of clothes when they wanted to "do business", which was to facilitate concealing their identities and prevent blood from splashing on their bodies. On the East Street, except for Wang Li’s people, no one dared to wear this kind of clothes.

Now, Wang Yao has also put on such clothes.

Brother Cheng told Wang Yao that since Wang Li heard news that his sister wanted his sister to take over as the boss of East Street, Ermao began to disappear. After unremitting inquiries, he learned that he had been in a casino for several days and nights. "He has lost tens of thousands of yuan." Brother Cheng said.

Ermao himself has no money, so what he loses can only be "public funds".

Wang Li and his group had nothing to do. They only relied on collecting money from various places in East Street. It was similar to the protection fees we collected at school, but they were as compulsory as the Ninth Prince. They rely on this little money to maintain their own livelihoods and still keep some in case of emergencies. Brother Cheng said with a complicated expression: "Brother Li does not oppose gambling, but he has set rules. If anyone loses the money that is 'urgent', the price is to cut off one hand." He shook his broken hand, "For example, I lost my mother's surgery fee, and Brother Li was so angry that he cut off one of my hand, but I have never held a grudge yet. It was Brother Li who pulled me back."

To be honest, Wang Li is really a good and evil person.

After saying this, Brother Cheng continued: "Among our group, except Lin Zi and Gangzi, Ermao is the one who is loyal to Brother Li, otherwise Brother Li would not let him take charge of the account. It is incredible that he can do such a thing... It is better to ask clearly, maybe Ermao has any difficulties."

Wang Yao nodded: "I understand, let's go find Ermao." His tone was plain, but his eyes were extremely fierce.

My heart was also shocked. Although Brother Cheng was trying his best to help Ermao, Wang Yao was obviously not going to let Ermao go.

Think about it, it’s so important for the accountant to be in a gang, and what a serious crime it is to “swallow public funds”!

Brother Cheng led us to an alley where sewage flows through the flow of water and the smell never dissipates all year round. There is such a zone under any city with a bright appearance. Before coming to an ordinary house, Brother Cheng gently buttoned the door.

Someone asked inside: "What are you doing?"

Brother Cheng replied: "You bought noodles."

"We don't sell noodles."

"Walnuts are fine if you don't have noodles."

Later I learned that this is called incision. It is used to prevent strips. Incisions are often changed. They are not well educated, so they are generally very simple to set up, and only old customers can know it.

After Brother Cheng finished speaking, the door opened, and a young man with a deer-headed rat said with a wry smile: "Brother Cheng is here?"

Brother Cheng flashed a step to the side, pointed at Wang Yao and said, "This is Wang Li's sister Wang Yao, the current boss of East Street."

The young man immediately nodded and bowed: "Sister Yao, please come in."

Brother Cheng patted his head: "Call Wang Yao!"

"Yes, yes, sister Wang Yao, please come in."

Wang Yao walked in and we followed. Later I realized that "Sister Yao" is homophonic with "Sister Yao" and has that meaning, so Brother Cheng asked him to change his words. "Sister Yao" is a very old word, and students nowadays don't know this, so they still call "Sister Yao" in school. It seems that they should change their words after they go back.

After entering the yard, you can hear the noisy sounds in the room. It seems that there are quite a lot of people, but it seems to be a hidden casino. The young man said again, "Sister Wang Yao, wait a moment, I'll call Brother Biao out." Then he flashed into the room.

After a while, a big and thick man came out, about forty years old, and said with a respectful look: "Sister Wang Yao, Brother Cheng, you are here!" He handed over another small bag, and he knew that it was filled with money without looking at it.

Wang Yao waved her hand and didn't accept Brother Biao's money: "It's not time to collect money." It turned out that this casino was also protected by them. I know why so many people want to be the boss even if they squeezed their heads.

Brother Biao was stunned: "Sister Wang Yao is here to play?"

Wang Yao said seriously: "I'm here to find Ermao."

Brother Biao nodded immediately: "He is here, I'll take you in and look for it."

Our group followed Brother Biao into the house. It was filled with smoke. Even the ones I often smoked could not bear, which made me feel a little tears. I looked closely and saw that there were seven or eight tables inside, with seven or eight people surrounding each table. They were excited and shouting with blushing faces. They played differently, some played cards, some played dice, and some made Paijiu.

"Ermao is there." Brother Biao pointed to a table in the corner.

I looked over and saw a young man with a shaved beard shaking dice. He didn't hate it. He was just an ordinary person, shouting, "I don't believe that I can't shake the leopard!" It was obvious that he was already on the verge of the head.

Wang Yao lifted her windbreaker and walked towards Ermao with a short axe.
Chapter completed!
