Fang Zhicheng rarely watched TV, so he had never heard of Zhong Yang's name. In fact, Zhong Yang's reputation was not that famous, but Dong Gu had a wide network of contacts and met many romantic men and women, so it was normal for her to have heard of Zhong Yang's name.
"I didn't expect you to be so shy, you're so cute." Aunt Dong unexpectedly reached out and pinched Zhong Yang's cheek.
Zhong Yang felt his cheek aching and was startled. He couldn't help but jump off the bar chair and looked at Dong Gu with astonishment.
Dingzi also looked as if he had seen a monster. He stared at Dong Gu with his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say.
Aunt Dong laughed out loud and said, "It turns out that the police officer is a tough guy who can't stand being teased."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Who could have expected that you were so tough?"
Aunt Dong is less than 1.6 meters tall, and Zhong Yang is over 1.9 meters tall, but at this moment he was frightened by Aunt Dong.
"That's right. A tough life never needs explanation." Aunt Dong pointed to the upper floor. "There are five people who came here with Liu Laowu just now, three men and two women. The three men are people that Yinzhou can't afford to offend. It is said that they all have backgrounds in the provincial capital, especially the one named Jin Feng, who is said to be a third-generation red. So I must remind you, don't cause trouble, otherwise, I won't be able to clean up this mess."
Zhong Yang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Don't worry, I won't make trouble today for Sister Dong's sake."
Aunt Dong smiled bitterly: "You won't cause trouble, but they may not. I suggest you leave first."
Dingzi was young after all, and he couldn't hold back his anger. He slammed the table unhappily and said, "What kind of logic is this? Am I afraid of him?"
Dingzi felt that he was a well-known figure in Yinzhou, and his cousin Zhong Yang had always been his idol. Dingzi always felt unhappy when he saw him avoiding another group of people in such a humiliating way.
Zhong Yang's eyes flashed and he winked. Dingzi suddenly stopped being so excited and took a big sip of wine.
"I'll tell you a story. After listening to it, it's up to you to decide whether to leave or not." Aunt Dong said softly, "Two years ago, Jin Feng met a drunkard on Bar Street. The drunkard was very strong and slapped Jin Feng in the face. Afterwards, the police station arranged people to close the bar street for a full month. Finally, the drunkard was jailed for robbery, and the matter was over. So the bar owners on our street all know that Jin Feng should not be messed with."
Zhong Yang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since today's matter with Brother Fang has been concluded, I naturally have to say goodbye. If you have anything in the future, you can call me."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Zhong Yang was much more docile than Ding Zi. Since the other party had given him money to settle the matter, there was no need for him to pursue the matter further. He smiled faintly and said, "We'll contact each other when we have time."
After Dingzi and Zhong Yang left, Dong Gu accompanied Fang Zhicheng to drink a few glasses of wine and asked curiously, "How do you know Zhong Yang?"
Fang Zhicheng told Aunt Dong about what had happened before, and naturally concealed the fact that he had secretly accepted the envelope.
Aunt Dong nodded and sighed, "I've heard of Zhong Yang a long time ago, but you have to stay away from him. Liu Laowu and Zhong Yang are both well-known ruthless people in Yinzhou, one in the Criminal Investigation Detachment and the other in the Public Security Detachment. Liu Laowu is known for his tyranny, while Zhong Yang is known for his sinisterness. Neither of them is a good person. However, Zhong Yang's life will be difficult in the future. Liu Laowu has climbed up to the high branch of Jin Feng, and he will suppress Zhong Yang in the future."
Fang Zhicheng looked at Aunt Dong in surprise and sighed, "Sister Dong, how do you know so much?"
Aunt Dong laughed strangely and said, "What's the most important thing in the underworld? Of course, being well-informed! Although Zhong Yang has never been to Qing, it doesn't mean that I don't know about him."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Were you acting just now?"
Dong Gu nodded and said sarcastically, "It is not only impolite but also stupid to tell him about his background in front of him."
Fang Zhicheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Dong, you are right."
Aunt Dong sighed and said, "Zhong Yang is quite perceptive. He knows Qingya is not easy to mess with, so he took the initiative to apologize to you. But, it doesn't mean he will treat you as a friend. Try to avoid him in the future. After all, Qingya is not in Yinzhou now, and I am busy with work, so I can't take care of you in everything."
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "Sister Dong, you seem to be treating me like a child when you keep nagging me like this."
Dong Gu suddenly stopped smiling and showed a serious look, and said: "If you stay in this world for a long time, you will realize that you are indeed a toddler. This world is much deeper than you think."
The bar was not as lively as other bars, but customers kept coming. After Aunt Dong went to deal with the customers, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but think about what she had just said. Although it was a bit mysterious, it still made sense if he savored it a little.
The so-called Jianghu is not the world of swords and sabers in martial arts novels, but actually refers to a circle that is different from the lives of ordinary people. In this circle, power and money play a dominant role. If you do not have one of them, you will seem out of place and find it difficult to integrate into the Jianghu.
Fang Zhicheng now has neither power nor money, and can only touch the edge of the underworld. When he meets those who have already entered the underworld, he naturally appears much more naive.
Fang Zhicheng appears to be peaceful and never fights for anything, but deep down he really desires power and money.
As his thoughts were in turmoil, Fang Zhicheng felt a chill on his shoulder. He turned sideways and saw Jin Feng coming towards him.
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, then smiled and greeted, "Secretary Jin, hello?"
Jin Feng swirled the wine in his hand in a cool way, and an amber vortex formed in the glass. He asked with a smile, "Should I call you Fang Da Mi?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled modestly and said, "That's not necessary. Secretary Jin, you are a senior, just call me Xiao Fang."
Although Song Wendi is one level older than Xia Xiang, it does not mean that Fang Zhicheng is superior to Jin Feng.
"A very sensible guy." Jin Feng nodded, very satisfied with Fang Zhicheng's humble attitude. He patted him twice and said with a smile: "Zhong Yang is your friend?"
Fang Zhicheng did not comment and said, "Secretary Jin, do you have a grudge against him?"
Jin Feng smiled and said, "It's not a grudge, I just don't like him."
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It looks like he's going to be in trouble."
Jin Feng took a sip of the foreign wine, propped himself up, and said softly: "I hope you won't be unlucky."
Fang Zhicheng heard the threat from Jin Feng's words and said with a smile: "I think I have always been lucky. I don't dislike Secretary Jin because Zhong Yang is neither my friend nor his enemy."
"You are indeed very lucky." Jin Feng laughed twice when he saw Fang Zhicheng's interesting words. He turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, he said, "Then let's meet at the fishing ground this weekend."
Fang Zhicheng stared at Jin Feng's back. Song Wendi would undoubtedly compete with Xia Xiang at the fishing ground on the weekend, but he failed to give Song Wendi a good start. After all, facing the pressure from Jin Feng, Fang Zhicheng could only retreat temporarily.
However, Fang Zhicheng sneered at his back.
