Li Cai's tone was extremely serious: "Tang Shengyi, my mother is the person I love most in my life. Even if I can let her live for one more day, I will do my best. Thank you for the elixir, and thank you for teaching me the Taoist cultivation techniques." , I believe that I can definitely live until the moment my mother closes her eyes."
Tang Xiu said: "Since you have already made your choice, I won't say more. You have already thanked me, so that's it."
"etc."
Li Cai's voice on the phone was a little urgent, and she said quickly: "Doctor Tang, where are you now? I... I want to see you."
Tang Xiu frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Li Cai said: "There is something, something very important."
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I am rushing to Star City now. I need to do some things there, and I am afraid it will take a long time. If you are in a hurry, come to Star City in person. If you are not in a hurry, Just wait until I finish my business in Star City, and then wait until I return to Shanghai. By the way, you and your mother should still be in Shanghai, right?"
Li Cai said: "Well, I'm still here with Brother Shaokun. Doctor Tang, I'll leave for Star City right away. Let's meet again."
"There's no rush, I'm afraid I won't get to Star City until tomorrow afternoon." Tang Xiu said.
"Then I'll wait for you in Star City first."
hang up the phone.
There was a softness in Tang Xiu's eyes. Through the conversation just now, Tang Xiu found that he fell in love with the girl named Li Cai. This kind of love had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but more of admiration. She could waste her life for her mother. The price was too high. In this day and age, I dare not say that there are not many people who can achieve what she has achieved, but there are definitely not many.
"Master, we are in trouble."
Tang An's voice came to his ears.
Tang Xiu frowned, turned around and looked around, and found a dozen burly men with sinewy faces approaching from the other side of the cabin. One of the burly men was grabbing a thin man by the front of his shirt, almost dragging him over.
"Listen up, everyone, the security fee is 20 yuan per person, calculated based on head. If anyone doesn't pay later, don't blame the brothers for being rude." The burly man threw the thin man on the deck and spoke. At that time, he even kicked him hard.
Tang Xiu frowned slightly, and suddenly heard two men in leather clothes talking about seven or eight meters away:
"It's these bastards again, they are too blatant in their extortion. What nonsense security fees, they are just relying on the support of the Ouyang family to be protected here."
"There's no way! Their backstage is the Ouyang family. Who in the entire Jingmen Island doesn't know how powerful the Ouyang family is. There are many guests crossing the sea by boat, and almost all of them have been blackmailed by them. Many people even chose to call the police. What's the result? Those The police knew they were members of the Ouyang family and just ignored them."
"There's nothing you can do about it, just bear with it! Fortunately, these people don't want much money, so they just treat it as two packs of cigarettes less."
"Oh, that's all it can do."
Tang Xiu frowned slightly as he listened to the conversation between the two. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Ouyang Lulu's cell phone number. After a while, Ouyang Lulu's sleepy voice came from the phone: "Who is it? It's disturbing my dream in the middle of the night... "
Tang Xiu laughed dumbly and said, "Lulu, it's me."
After a while.
Ouyang Lulu shouted in surprise: "My dear, have you returned to Shanghai? Where are you now? I'll get up right away to find you."
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "I'm not in Shanghai. I just arrived at the port of Jingmen Island and am going to rush back to Star City to do some things. I'm calling you because I want to ask you something."
"whats the matter?"
Ouyang Lulu sounded a little disappointed, but still asked.
Tang Xiu said: "On the passenger ship from Jingmen Island to Guangyang Province, there was a group of people extorting money from passing passengers. They used the slogan of collecting security fees, but in fact they were extorting money and collecting protection fees. The most important thing is that they were extorting money from passing passengers. The banner of the Ouyang family, do you know about this?"
Ouyang Lulu said in confusion: "I don't know! I used to take passenger ships to Guangyang Province often, and I have never encountered anyone who extorted money?"
Tang Xiu said: "Do you want to call and ask? These people's behavior is very bad. I think the Ouyang family has a great business, so they don't care about this little money, right?"
Ouyang Lulu said quickly: "My dear, I will call my brother right away and ask him what's going on. If they are really from their Ouyang family, I will definitely teach them a lesson. If not, I will beat their Ouyang family members." I’m afraid his brother will be angry if he acts recklessly under the flag.”
They... Ouyang family
Tang Xiu said strangely: "Lulu, aren't you also from the Ouyang family?"
Ouyang Lulu was silent for a moment, then as if a powder keg was lit, she shouted loudly: "Tang Xiu, you are a bastard. I tell you now, I am not from the Ouyang family. Even if I was before, I am not now. I am Tang Xiu. Family member, I am your Tang Xiu’s member, if you marry a chicken, you will follow a dog, if you marry a dog, I will follow him all over the mountain."
"Ahem..."
Tang Xiu smiled dryly and said: "Okay, okay, you are from my Tang family, okay?"
"snort… "
Ouyang Lulu snorted and hung up the phone, but a few minutes later, her phone was called back. When Tang Xiu answered, she heard Ouyang Lulu say: "Dear, let me figure out what happened." It's happened. My brother knows about this matter. The person who collected the security fee on that passenger ship was a man who once rescued my brother, one of his men. So, my brother knew about this matter, but turned a blind eye. One eye has never been taken care of."
Tang Xiu said: "Ask your brother to point out another way for his benefactor to make money, and don't let those gangsters fool around on the passenger ship in the future. The Ouyang family has a great business, and I'm afraid there are many forces who have been keeping an eye on the Ouyang family. I want to seize the opportunity of the Ouyang family. If someone makes a fuss about this matter, even if it is a great cause for the Ouyang family and will not hurt the bones, it will still be a bit troublesome. "
"I understand."
Ouyang Lulu nodded and said.
After Tang Xiu hung up the phone, the dozen or so burly men walked up to him. The leading man stretched out his hand and said with a cold face: "Pay the money."
Tang Xiu took out twenty yuan from his pocket, handed it to the man and said, "Today is the last time you will collect money here. I can give you the money, which can be regarded as the last time you do it successfully. From now on, don't Do something illegal, otherwise the Ouyang family will not be able to protect you."
The man looked stunned, his brows instantly furrowed, he looked at Tang Xiu a few times, and asked, "Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense?"
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Your boss saved Ouyang Lei's life, so you can do whatever you want in the name of the Ouyang family, but haven't you thought that this will bring disgrace to the Ouyang family's face?"
"Fuck, who the hell are you? Now that we know how powerful the Ouyang family is, even if we are the ones causing trouble, who can do anything to us? Who can do anything to the Ouyang family?" A burly man behind the man suddenly raised his head. Steel pipe in hand.
"Snapped… "
There was a loud slap in the face, and the burly man was immediately whipped away. Because he was close to the side of the boat, this slap whipped him directly into the sea.
The leading man and a dozen other burly men were dumbfounded. They all heard the loud slap clearly, but they also discovered that the young man in front of them didn't even move his fingers. Not a single movement.
Who hit him
Is there really a ghost this late at night
Tang Xiu's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "As the saying goes: Those who do evil will be punished. Everyone is messing around these days. Some people seem to be upper-class people. They are very smart and use their brains to make money and their abilities to make money. Some of them are smart. People are messing around, bullying others with power, and being arrogant and domineering. These people may be very good at bullying ordinary people, but if they meet a few characters, they may cause big trouble. What I said...is that right?"
The leading man asked a dozen men to stop the ship in the cockpit to rescue people, but he did not leave. Looking at Tang Xiu's calm expression, he squeezed the money in his hand tightly and asked again: "Who are you? Are you? Are you really not afraid of the Ouyang family?"
Tang Xiu smiled and said: "If it were another family, I would be a little worried, but I am not afraid of the Ouyang family at all. Because I also have a backer in the Ouyang family."
The man frowned and asked, "Who in the Ouyang family is your backer?"
Tang Xiu thought for a moment, then pointed to the bridge of his nose and said, "My woman, Ouyang Lulu."
"Ouyang Lulu?"
"His woman?"
The man was stunned, and suddenly his expression changed drastically. His body even trembled a few times, he took a few steps back in shock, and shouted out loud: "You... are you Boss Tang?"
Tang Xiu raised his hand and touched his face, and said with a half-smile: "Time is indeed a butcher's knife. It has been so long since I last appeared in public, and no one knows me anymore. To be honest, I am really tired after becoming famous. , it’s better to be low-key and relax!”
"Plop..."
The man knelt down directly in front of Tang Xiu, kowtowed three times, then forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Tang...Boss Tang, our brothers are so ignorant that they actually collected money and put it on your head. Yes. You sir have a lot. For the sake of our boss saving your brother-in-law, please spare us! I promise that I will never come out to ask for money again."
"Ring ring ring..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang rapidly.
The man raised his head and looked at Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Get up quickly and answer the phone."
As if he had received an amnesty, the man climbed up from the deck, took out his mobile phone and looked at the number on the caller ID. He found that it was the boss calling. He immediately pressed the answer button and said cautiously: "Boss, are you looking for me? I'm here now." On the passenger ship, we will return immediately when we arrive in Guangyang Province."
"Already on the passenger ship?"
A man's voice came from the mobile phone.
