If there is a weapon in the world that participates in gangster fights more frequently than bricks, it must be a wine bottle.
The wine bottle was in his hand, and the wine mixed with nosebleeds made the cheap carpet a mess. The bearded man was knocked over on the sofa and looked at Li Muye in confusion.
"It's your turn!" Li Muye put the blood-stained wine bottle into Gamova's hand and said, "I'll beat you anyway. If you don't beat her, she will regard you as my accomplice. If I can't protect you, Stay, you will definitely be implicated."
Gamova held the bottle and looked at the bearded man who turned from confusion to anger. She shrank her neck in fright and the bottle fell to the ground unconsciously.
Li Muye chuckled and said, "This is the opportunity for revenge that you missed." After saying that, Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the sofa, waved to Chuikov to lift the bearded man in front of him, and said, "Do you know why I hit you? "
The bearded man cursed a bunch of Russian curses. The content was lackluster, but full of malice.
Li Muye pointed at the guy's big mouth and said with a smile: "Looks like he hasn't suffered enough yet." He picked up the wine bottle again, raised it high, and coldly hit the bearded man on the cheek.
The bearded man suddenly became silent and spat out a large mouthful of blood, mixed with a few teeth. He struggled hard to get the pistol hidden in his waist. But under Lao Cui, there was no chance to escape. Instead, Lao Cui took away the pistol and handed it to Li Muye.
Li Muye pointed the pistol at the bearded face and said, "It seems that this is the end of your understanding." After a pause, he continued, "The person I'm looking for is not you. The reason why I beat you is because of you." Your mouth is too foul, I’m going to slap you to tell your boss that if he has a chance to cooperate with me, he must take care of his mouth."
The bearded man did not dare to curse this time, and said vaguely: "Stupid guy, no matter who you are, provoking Mr. Kirichenko here is destined to not end well."
Li Muye took out a phone from his body, handed it to him, and said: "Call Kirichenko and tell him to bring someone over immediately. I will wait for him for half an hour at most."
The bearded man was indifferent and said: "Mr. Kirichenko is attending his daughter's recital at this time. You would only call him at this time unless you no longer want to live."
Li Muye said: "He will have a chance to earn five million US dollars within half an hour of coming here. If he misses this opportunity, I think he will be very angry."
The bearded man was obviously stunned when he heard five million US dollars, and then silently took the phone and dialed a series of numbers.
"Yes, sir, I'm very sorry. I do have a good reason to call you." He intermittently repeated Li Muye's words and what happened here.
Li Muye nodded with satisfaction, patted the bearded man on the shoulder, and asked, "What's your name?"
The bearded man was not only deprived of his gun, but also deprived of his courage by the words five million US dollars. He said in a low voice: "Do you want to know your full name?"
"Try to make it as simple as possible." Li Muye said, "It only lasts half an hour, and I don't want to spend it all calling you by your name."
"Popov." The bearded man said, "My friends and bosses all call me that. You can call me that too."
"It sounds like the name of a football player." Li Muye smiled, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How many people can your boss have under his command?"
Popov thought for a while and said: "I don't know the specific number, but the last time those guys from Nitska came to cause trouble, the boss called hundreds of people and kicked the Nitska people's ass hard. The police didn’t dare to interfere.”
"It's not that I don't dare, it's that I'm unwilling to do something useless." Li Muye corrected: "The most stupid mistake in your profession is to underestimate the police."
Popov glanced at the gun in Li Muye's hand, shrugged and said, "Of course, you always have to listen to what the person holding the gun says."
Li Muye laughed loudly, handed the pistol to Lao Cui, took out a wad of money from his pocket, handed it to Popov, and said: "This thing is more effective than a gun. Without it, your boss would have been wiped out sooner." Even if I was kicked to pieces by the police, I can't sit here with confidence and wait for him to kick my ass."
Popov hesitantly took the banknotes. After confirming that they were genuine twelve one-hundred-dollar bills, he immediately grinned and said: "Of course, you are the boss, and the boss is always right." After saying that, he suppressed I couldn't help but feel happy and kissed the dollar bill.
Li Muye looked at his gaping teeth and said, "I'm sorry for knocking out a few of your teeth. This money can be regarded as compensation." He turned to look at Gamova and said, "Tell me the truth, you Do you like her?"
Popov was stunned for a moment, shook his head at first, and finally shrugged. He asked, "Why do you think so?"
Li Muye said: "I was looking for the most expensive place to drink, but she brought me to you." He added: "This is just one of the reasons that caused me to have such an association, and then she told me Speaking of the fact that you didn't give her money after taking her in for the night, I felt that you didn't give her money on purpose. When you came in, the look you gave me was killing me. Damn it, I'm your honored guest. Besides Aside from the taste, I can't think of any reason for you to target me like this."
Gamova had sobered up by this time and was listening to Li Muye's words with her mouth open. Popov was also looking over.
Li Muye pointed at Popov and said: "He doesn't like you doing this business, nor does he like you bringing business to the place he manages. Men, whether they are Chinese, Russian or Ukrainian, all care about face. So he will never tell you that he loves you. This fool will only hurt you to get your attention. Now I have helped him express what he is thinking. It is your turn now. Time is precious. You We need to give him a clear explanation.”
"Asshole!" Gamova cursed at Li Muye and said, "What does our matter have to do with you?"
Li Muye said: "It's really none of my business, but I can't stand the idea of lovers not getting married. Can you bring the two of you together for fun?"
Gamova looked at Popov, curled her lips and cursed: "Asshole!" Then she said: "Look at your stupid look. If you still live in this hellish place, I would rather continue to live your current life, even if there is It’s better to freeze and starve to death for one day than to see you beaten to death in the street at some time.”
This is a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks who have been tortured by life and don't know how to love. Li Muye suddenly envied them. At least they can often face each other and occasionally be together. But he and Nana didn't know when they would see each other again. Even at this time, he was not sure whether Nana would still love Brother Ye as before.
Popov stared at Gamova, suddenly grabbed her little hand, and said excitedly: "You are right, I am such a big bastard, I understand it all now, dear Gamova, I love you, For you, I am willing to spend all my savings, plus the gift from this generous gentleman, it is enough for us to buy a house on the outskirts of the city."
The two hugged each other and kissed as if no one else was watching.
Li Muye stood up, motioned for Lao Cui to follow him, and walked out of the private room together.
Half an hour later, a well-dressed blond man hurried over surrounded by a group of burly men.
"My man told me a story related to five million US dollars, which forced me to miss my daughter's recital at this time and come here to confirm the authenticity of this information." The blond man came straight to the sofa and bent He lowered his head and looked at Li Muye, saying: "Beautiful Eastern boy, if the information is wrong, you will be in a very miserable situation."
His Russian pronunciation is standard, his words are round and round, his demeanor is proud but not arrogant, his movements are elegant and decent, and he has the typical style of an old-school Russian aristocrat.
Li Muye's golden sword sat still, looking at it calmly, and said: "Maybe there will be more, maybe it will be a catastrophe, it depends on your attitude and sincerity."
"I am a civilized gentleman." Kirichenko said: "At least when I am not provoked." He added: "So, I still hope to communicate with you in a more gentlemanly way. Oriental boy, please Tell me, where is my five million dollars?"
Li Muye said: "If you satisfy me, money will not be a problem."
"Then what can I do to satisfy you?"
"I need some people who are familiar with this city to do something." Li Muye said: "They told me that you are the best person to provide this kind of service."
"I'm afraid you haven't understood me yet. I'm asking you, where is my five million US dollars?"
"If the cooperation is pleasant, I may give you more." After Li Muye said that, he took out the check he had prepared before and continued: "Here is two million US dollars. As a deposit for the meeting, you can worry about me saying Big talk, you can doubt my sincerity, but you must believe in this check.”
"This is really an interesting thing." Kirichenko took the check and looked at it carefully, then handed it to the professionals around him for verification. After getting a positive result, he sat down. Said: "My friend, it seems that I have misunderstood your sincerity."
"It doesn't matter. There is an old saying in China that once a child is born, he will become familiar twice. I can understand your thinking." Li Muye said calmly: "You are afraid that I will deceive you, but I don't care if you take the money and don't do things for me."
Kirichenko weighed the check in his hand, hesitated for a moment, slowly put it on the table and pushed it back to Li Muye, saying: "This is a crazy world, there are too many outstanding people, even here I am not a big shot in this city. You are obviously someone who can spend two million dollars, but I am not someone who can just pick up this money. You see, I already have a good life."
Li Muye tapped the check with his fingertips, and suddenly remembered that in the office of Hongye Investment two years ago, Chen Miao used the same action to hand him a check.
"I like your caution." Li Muye pushed the check back and said, "You are right, because life is cruel. Only the living are worthy of having everything. The benefits in front of you may be opportunities, or they may just be Fishing bait, the way I appear here can indeed make you suspicious."
Kirichenko said: "The Chinese are actually welcome here, but in most cases, the people who welcome you are big people who are closely related to the government, and I am just an insignificant businessman. For me, there are not many opportunities to earn five million US dollars at once. This is indeed an offer that is hard to refuse, but I don’t want to lose everything I have accumulated in the past thirty-three years because of one adventure.”
"Things are not as dangerous as you think. I just need to be a partner." Li Muye said straight to the point: "If the cooperation is happy, these five million US dollars are just the beginning. We can become friends in the future. I have always been generous to my friends. .”
"Some things that don't seem dangerous, but if you actually do them, they might just be a brain-destroying business." Kirichenko said unmoved.
"With your status today, don't you do less adventurous things?" Li Muye asked calmly.
"I am not alone now." Kirichenko said: "Many people need me to take care of them."
"That's why you want to open up new ways to make money." Li Muye said: "How much success do you expect this kind of business that is somewhere between legal and illegal to achieve?"
"I want to hear what you need from me before making a decision." Kirichenko's tone sounded loose.
"I am in the grain trading business." Li Muye said: "I have some friends and channels in Moscow. In addition to the grain business, I can also do other businesses. This time I came here because I was entrusted by someone. To do one thing, if everything goes well, I will also have some upper-level channels here. Such channels are very rare. If I only use them to make a one-time deal, it would be too wasteful, so I want to find them. A partner..." (End of Chapter)
