Seeing that there are so many people crowded here, I immediately shouted: "What are you doing here? Go down and do your own thing!"
I sighed and let Jojo go back to the room first, while I pushed Shiro's wheelchair with my own hands and led him to the office.
After closing the door, I turned around and looked at Xi Luo solemnly: "Tell me, what's going on!"
In Vancouver, is there anyone who dares to touch Ciro? !
Ciro's expression was a little strange, he lowered his head, and gritted his teeth: "Xiao Wu, it's because I'm not as good as others, and I was convinced to lose!"
"Convince?" I was furious, glared at him and shouted: "Convince your fart!!" I slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Why are you so confused! Tell me what's going on! Don't you understand? You are my brother! You are now the number two person in our big circle!! Under such circumstances, how many people are secretly watching us and staring at us!! We finally made it so big now The situation! But everyone knows, secretly, how many people are not convinced by us! If there is a slight disturbance, it may change at any time!!"
I was so angry that my chest heaved, I stared at Xi Luo, and said in a deep voice: "You have to understand! You are the number two person in the big circle now! Since you are sitting in this position, your body is not your own!! You represent the face of the big circle! The face of the big circle!! The majesty of the big circle!! And the face of my little five!! Now it is not the past, we were both small fish in the past! Anyone can step on We are above! But not now!!! I tell you, no!! Because those are watching us in the dark! See if we are tough enough! Are we strong enough! If this is the case, won’t the outsiders know? Don’t they know!!”
"...No." Ciro bowed his head.
"That's it!" I let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Then you can't say such discouraging words! Today you were beaten up like this, if we don't take revenge back! It will make people feel We are weak in the big circle! It will make people think that we are overwhelming everyone now. It looks like we are strong, but in fact we don’t have enough confidence! Who are you? You are Xi Luo! Who in Vancouver doesn’t know that you are my brother! You are the number two in the big circle People! You were beaten today, and you didn’t say a word, and you’re still ‘convinced’! Tomorrow, those people who were secretly staring at us would dare to come out and step on our heads again in front of our faces! Do you understand!!”
"...Understood." Xi Luo's face was a little ugly.
I sighed, went to pat him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Xi Luo... I didn't mean to reprimand you. It's just that you have to understand that your words and deeds now don't just represent yourself. Those If you are soft or discouraged, you must never say it! Because every move of yours represents a big circle! You were beaten today, and you may have your own reasons for not wanting to pursue it. But if it is spread outside, outside Most people don't know anything, they just say, 'the number two in the big circle has been beaten up and dare not say anything'. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Okay." I sat down and sat opposite him: "Now tell me what happened."
…
The matter was not as complicated as I imagined. At first, I thought that Ciro was ambushed and beaten by someone. After all, there are not a few enemies in the big circle. But thinking about it again, if it was done by the enemy, I am afraid that Xi Luo will not only be beaten up, but even his life will be lost.
"Xiao Wu, you know that our territory has expanded a lot recently, so in order to be able to take charge of such a large place, we have been recruiting troops recently, and we are trying to expand the peripheral members as much as possible."
I know this, I nodded: "And then?"
"Then..." Ciro's face was a bit complicated: "The site that was allocated this time is in a street near Chinatown, where we sent a few brothers from the periphery to control it. The person in charge is ourselves. But when they first took over, news came back that there were people on that street who disobeyed us, refused to pay protection fees, and refused to abide by our rules."
I raised my eyebrows, and although I didn't say anything, there was already evil spirit in my eyes.
"There is a martial arts gym there... well, in fact, the martial arts hall is not big, very small, there are only about twenty people who learn martial arts, half of them are ordinary people who pay money to train their bodies, real disciples in the martial arts hall, There are only about ten of them. In places like Chinatown and Chinatown, where the Chinese live in large numbers, it is normal to have some martial arts gyms. Even foreigners are used to playing so-called Chinese Kung Fu. After we took over that street, we used to have a good Yes, but that martial arts school has been refusing to pay protection fees... In fact, their little money is not much, and we don't care if we pay it or not. It's just that the place is strange. Originally, the street was in Chinatown, The Vietnamese snatched it from the Huabang at the beginning, but now we have snatched it back from the Vietnamese. But we sent people there, and they made a statement. They are only willing to pay 30% according to the rules, and they also say that this is Old rules. Many martial arts clubs in Chinatown are actually gangsters. Many of them are even organizations of some Chinese gangs. But this one seems a bit weird. They don’t belong to any organization. It seems that they are really a very simple martial arts school. It is said that when the Vietnamese controlled this territory, they were also unwilling to cooperate with the Vietnamese. It’s just that the Vietnamese never came to deal with them, and soon, the Vietnamese were beaten away by us.”
Ciro said so much in one breath, and looked up at me.
"Go on." I said slowly.
"Originally, I don't think it doesn't matter whether we collect the protection fee or not, because we don't need to rely on the money to support our brothers now. But after this family refuses to pay, the business of the whole street will be affected! Then There are several shops on the same street, and the young children inside are all learning martial arts in the martial arts gym. Seeing that we have not done anything to the martial arts gym, they all follow suit one by one, and they don’t pay protection fees. In the end, the The owner of a small bar on the same street dared to challenge us. Our people came to discuss business with him. He actually brought a few guys to confront us. One of those guys was in the martial arts gym. What a mess." Ciro sighed: "Originally I didn't want to cause trouble, but this way, the impact is too bad. The whole street is almost not ours anymore. And it spread, even the nearby Some people started to move around the block. So I asked the brother who manages that area to go to the martial arts school to 'talk'."
The "talking" that Ciro said is slang, which means negotiation.
"Originally, I wanted them to bow their heads and let it go. I don't want to make trouble too unpleasant. After they just pay a symbolic amount, I think this martial arts gym can still be recruited. They seem to be very shy in that street. As if they can live, the other shops will do things according to their faces."
"Then what?"
"Then..." Siro smiled wryly: "Of course we didn't agree." When Siro said this, he seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "The person in charge of that place is our brother who went out from here, you know him very well. , It’s Dajiang. This guy Dajiang took someone to talk to them, and the two words didn’t reach an agreement, so a fight broke out. In the end, Dajiang was directly kicked out of the door, and he was injured a little bit, and his two arms were dislocated. .”
I frown.
I know Dajiang, and he is quite familiar. He is a person who goes out of the gym in the garage. People who go out of the gym are generally better at fighting, and their skills are better than ours. of. Under such circumstances, Dajiang took someone there, but he was directly kicked out of the door, and his two arms were dislocated
"The other party said that if we don't mess with them, we won't offend them." Xi Luo was also a little annoyed: "I didn't plan to find trouble with them, but the people on that street watched the news of the martial arts hall, Seeing that the martial arts hall beat our people, none of them would bow to us."
"Then, you took people there yourself?" I frowned.
"Yes." Ciro gritted his teeth, and then his face was full of shame: "Xiao Wu, I lost everyone in our big circle! I brought a few old brothers from the family, and I went with the attitude of kicking the gym." I was not convinced that they could beat Dajiang like that, but after I went, the people in their martial arts gym ran against us with words, saying that if they had the ability, they would send people out to fight one-on-one. I agreed. This matter Things, I think, since I want to do it, I have to do it beautifully for everyone to see! If I bring a gun to mess with them, it will make others look down on me."
The next thing is obvious.
The two parties agreed on the spot, five punches, two wins in three rounds, if we win, that martial arts gym will obediently bow their heads in the future, if we lose, we will quit that street from now on.
In the first match, Ciro sent an old brother from the gym to play, and the opponent sent a disciple from the martial arts gym. As a result, our people only lasted for less than five minutes before being beaten to the ground.
Ciro saw that the opponent's fist was very hard. He was worried that there might be a mistake, so he calculated that the people he brought were all good players who could be picked out, and the others were about the same level as the brother who lost in the first match. , the brother in the first game can't do it, then most of the other brothers can't do it either.
So Ciro went on by himself. Anyway, there is no rule that a person can only play one game. If you have the ability, it is also possible for a person to clear the level and win three games in a row.
