After a while, they arrived at the alley where Xu Mian lived. The place she rented was in a dilapidated old city area, and the surrounding houses also looked very old, as if they would collapse at any time.
The alley was too small for the car to drive in, so Long Xiangtian had to get out of the car and walk in with Xu Mian. They went around several bends before reaching her house. Long Xiangtian entered the yard, which was shabby but very clean.
Long Xiangtian did not go in again, but said goodbye politely. Xu Mian was still in a daze and just nodded. After Long Xiangtian left, she burst into tears.
Just because she didn't say thank you to Long Xiangtian doesn't mean she wasn't grateful. In fact, when Long Xiangtian defeated the bad guys and saved her, she felt that Long Xiangtian was like a god.
It was getting dark, and there were no street lights here yet. It was dark and a little scary. Long Xiangtian couldn't help but worry about Xu Mian, but the two of them had never met before, and he just happened to save her today.
Thinking of everything that happened today, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but sigh. Today, he first caught a thief and then rescued an innocent girl. Moreover, these two evil deeds were done by the White Tiger Gang. It seems that they have done all kinds of evil.
Thinking of this, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but speed up the pace of destroying them. After all, he was once a soldier. Although he is retired now, the principle of eliminating evil and promoting good is still deeply engraved in his blood.
After returning to the hotel, Long Xiangtian immediately called Liu Xudong: "I want more information about the White Tiger Gang!" Liu Xudong was very surprised, but did not ask any more questions. He quickly used the fax machine to send the information to Long Xiangtian.
Long Xiangtian saw the nearly one hundred pages of information in his hand. It contained extremely detailed information about what the White Tiger Gang had done. And this was only in the past one or two years. Not only did they cheat, steal and rob, they were also recently demolishing the old city area.
It's not that the police aren't in charge of these matters, but by the time people call the police, they've already run away. Moreover, these things are done by the gangsters under them, so even if something happens to them, it has nothing to do with Boss Zheng.
So Long Xiangtian immediately decided to go to the demolished old city area tomorrow to take a look. Maybe this would be a breakthrough point to deal with them.
After a good night's dream, the next morning, the person sent by the Liu family gang was Liu Ran. Originally, Long Xiangtian wanted him to go alone, but Liu Xudong was thoughtful and sent someone who was familiar with the situation to help him. Liu Ran volunteered.
Long Xiangtian did not refuse. After breakfast, he went to the old city accompanied by Liu Ran. After the car stopped, Long Xiangtian was surprised to find that the demolished old city was right near Xu Mian's house.
Yesterday he was only thinking about sending her back, and he didn't know much about the situation here, so he didn't notice it. Now he didn't think it was strange. Shirakawa City's economy is developing rapidly, and there are not many old town areas left.
Walking through the empty alley in front, Liu Ran introduced: "The people in front are all the people who have moved away. In fact, few of them are willing to move away. Most of them are forced to do so!"
When Long Xiangtian heard this, he understood that the demolition compensation given by the White Tiger Gang was really too little. It was not even enough for the people who moved away to buy a house somewhere else. However, the White Tiger Gang was brutal, and the residents were forced to move even if they did not agree.
When they were almost at the end, Liu Ran said, "The last family in front is the only one that has not moved away. The White Tiger Gang is still in a mood to just give a few verbal warnings. Maybe in a few days..."
Liu Ran didn't say it, but Long Xiangtian could probably imagine the means. He frowned with cold eyes, quickened his pace, and at the same time heard the quarreling and cursing coming from the yard in front.
"You old woman, why don't you move? Let me tell you, our boss is willing to give you 30,000 yuan. This is the last day, and you have to move whether you want to or not. If you are still here tomorrow, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Brothers, smash it and teach this old woman a lesson!"
Another rough voice roared, followed by the sound of something being thrown to the ground, and at the same time the old man's trembling request for them to stop.
At this time, another voice sounded hesitantly: "This, Brother Biao, this is not good, this old man is pitiful, otherwise we should give him more money..."
“Bang!” The young man was interrupted before he could finish his words. Then Brother Biao started to scold him: “You ungrateful bastard, we in the White Tiger Gang support a loser like you, and it’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you’re still talking here. I’m going to teach you a lesson first!”
Then the boy's cries of pain were heard, but the boy did not beg for mercy. He just held his head and silently endured Brother Biao's punches and kicks.
"Enough!" When Long Xiangtian pushed open the door, he saw a man in a black vest and bare arms fighting with an old man for something, and it looked like he was going to throw the old man to the ground.
On the other side, there was a thin young boy who was beaten black and blue by Brother Biao but was still trying hard to talk to the old man. The ground was already littered with broken parts of various furniture.
The people in the room turned around in surprise when they heard the roar. Brother Biao said angrily, "Which blind boy dares to speak like that?" The others had the same expression, but they all stopped what they were doing temporarily.
Seeing that it was Long Xiangtian, a stranger, Brother Biao smiled self-righteously and said, "Damn it, here comes another blind man who thinks he can't stand our behavior. Then let him see if he has the ability to meddle in other people's business!"
But then he saw Liu Ran coming in behind Long Xiangtian, and his expression became even weirder: "Why, Master Liu, are you from the Liu Clan coming here for no reason to interfere with the White Tiger Clan's actions?"
"You guys are a bunch of bad people who do all kinds of bad things and bully the weak!" Liu Ran was also an upright boy. He immediately spoke out when he couldn't stand their behavior.
“Hahaha—” Brother Biao laughed exaggeratedly, and the others followed suit, “Young Master Liu, we in the White Tiger Gang don’t need you to teach us how to do things. Don’t think that you have the ability to control us just because your Liu Gang narrowly won the previous few times.
We will not bother with you now because of your status. You should leave quickly, otherwise if you really delay our boss's business, it will be difficult to deal with it. We have several brothers here today!"
What Brother Biao meant was that the Liu Family Gang and the White Tiger Gang were not interfering with each other now, but if Liu Ran affected them, so many of them would not let him get away with it. Liu Ran blushed when he heard this.
"Really? Then let's see, are you guys stronger, or are we two stronger!" Long Xiangtian said in a light tone, without any deliberate provocation, but it was this nonchalant tone that made Brother Biao angry.
"Okay, Master Liu, it seems that you are going to meddle in other people's business. Then don't blame the White Tiger Gang for bullying. Brothers, go ahead and beat this brat up. It doesn't matter if you beat him to death. As for this kid from the Liu family, let's keep him alive for now!"
Brother Biao gave the order. The others also couldn't stand Long Xiangtian's arrogance and had been ready to teach him a lesson. Naturally, they agreed readily at this time.
