In the elevator, stood Li Anping's uncle Li Liping and aunt Jiang Li. They were heading to the house left behind by Li Anping's grandma after her death, with a slightly flustered look on their faces.
After the two heard the news of Li Anping's disappearance early this morning, Li Liping hurried to his mother's house with his wife.
Jiang Li was a little worried and said: "They won't come here so soon, right? Besides, the kid's disappearance has nothing to do with us. Why should he bother us?"
"What do you know?" Li Liping glared at Jiang Li: "Someone wants to trouble that kid, and now he is missing, and he can't find anyone, so he has to find us? Take them all away, especially the dowry that my mother brought back, there are several gold chains, so I can't make it cheaper for others."
After a while, the elevator came up, but as soon as the door opened, Li Liping was dumbfounded. The corridor was full of people, all of whom were muscular, big men in T-shirts, steel pipes and baseball bats in their hands. Something like that was staring at Li Liping.
At this time, it was too late to run, and immediately two big men rushed up and dragged the couple out. When the passing elevator passengers saw it, they didn't dare to say a word, so they closed the elevator door and left.
Li Liping and his wife were surrounded by a group of big men, trembling. He boldly asked: "Who are you? What do you want to do?" From his current angle, he could see Li Anping's house. The door had already been pried open, and his things had been thrown all over the floor, as if it had been turned over long ago. pass.
"Who are these two?" The big man in the lead asked with his head raised and his chin raised high, wearing a pair of sunglasses.
The younger brother looked at the notebook in his hand and replied, "It's the old man's own son and daughter-in-law."
The bald man glanced at Li Liping, and said with disdain: "Li Anping has caused trouble, do you know where he is?"
Hearing this, Li Liping hurriedly explained the situation, fearing that the other party would make some moves.
"He has nothing to do with us. We also helped Lawyer Xu find that little bastard. Who knew he was a white-eyed wolf, but he tricked us to death and finally killed my mother. If I saw him, I would I can't beat him to death."
According to his thinking, after all, it is in broad daylight here, and he, Li Anping, has no contact with him. The other party should not be too messy after knowing the situation.
Unexpectedly, the bald man just sneered, and stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Li. Li Liping wanted to block it, but was slapped to the ground by the other party. The bald man grabbed Jiang Li's hair, causing Jiang Li to scream. Li Liping sat down on the ground with a pale face, a large lump swelled up on his face, and looked at the bald man in fear.
The bald head snorted coldly, then drew a dagger from his waist, and pressed it firmly against Jiang Li's face. The blade rubbed against Jiang Li's face, and a streak of blood was squeezed out, which made Jiang Li scream continuously in fright.
"I'm rubbing your grandma's head, playing sloppy with me? Do you know who I am?" While the bald head was talking, several younger brothers around Li Liping immediately kicked his body.
"Kneel down!"
"Brother Chang doesn't even know him?"
"I scolded the neighbor next door."
Chang Zheng's slash immediately left a hideous scar on Jiang Li's face. Jiang Li was crying crazily, but was kicked on the calf by Chang Zheng and fell to the ground.
"Scream? Call again, and I'll give you a few more knives." Jiang Li was so frightened that she stopped talking immediately.
Seeing this, Chang Zheng walked up to Li Liping again and kicked him in the face. Li Liping had no choice but to kneel on the ground with his head in his arms, allowing the opponent to punch and kick him.
Another kick kicked Li Liping's back where the kidneys were, causing his body to twitch in pain.
"Damn it, how dare you come here like this? It made me wait all night for nothing."
Li Liping was hit a few more times, Chang Zheng's punch script was very heavy, and Li Liping's body was not very good, after punching and kicking, he was already a little unconscious at this moment.
Chang Zheng was very angry. Brother Huo called him at three o'clock in the middle of the night yesterday, told him about the hospital, and told him to arrest Li Anping quickly. He thought that the other party had no money in his life, so he had to go home anyway. So I took my younger brother and squatted at the door of Li Anping's house.
As a result, after squatting all night, Li Anping didn't come home, only waiting for Li Liping to come.
"Damn it, where is Li Anping? Are you going to tell me?"
"I really don't know where he is, stop beating him, I really don't know." Li Liping cried as he hugged his head on the ground.
Chang Zheng was furious, and kicked Li Liping in the air: "Damn, why are you still pretending?"
Suddenly the phone rang, Chang Zheng answered the phone, turned back and said to Li Liping: "You are lucky, knock him out and take him away." Then he put a knife against Jiang Li's neck and threatened viciously: "We will take your man with you." Let's go, if you dare to call the police, just wait for the body to be collected, and if Li Anping contacts you, call us immediately, do you understand?"
After finishing speaking, he asked the younger brother at the side to hand over the business card.
Jiang Li nodded hastily: "I understand, I will definitely not call the police, and I will definitely contact you when Li Anping comes."
At this moment, two middle-aged security guards rushed out of the elevator, pointed at Chang Zheng and shouted, "What are you doing? Put people down quickly, we have already called the police."
"I'll fuck you."
No need for Chang Zheng to speak, immediately there is a younger brother punching two middle-aged security guards. These security guards are just laid-off employees aged 40-50, who are the opponents of these underworld thugs. After two or three blows, he was beaten and fell to the ground. The steel pipes and wooden sticks hit the heads of the two security guards, and blood was immediately splashed all over the ground.
It wasn't until the two security guards fell to the ground dying that Chang Zheng stopped his men.
He stepped on a security guard's hand and nodded in satisfaction after listening to the other party's painful groans. He took the steel pipe from his younger brother, slammed it hard on the iron door by the corridor, pointed at the door and shouted angrily: "Don't think I don't know who called them here, whoever doesn't open their eyes dares to meddle in other people's business, Just wait to buy the coffin." The neighbors behind the door trembled in fright.
"Leave two people here to wait for that kid, and the rest will follow me."
After finishing speaking, he left with Li Liping arrogantly.
※※※
Li Anping was walking towards the house. Although he didn't know what to do next, he must find a way to avenge his grandma. But before that, he had to go home first, get some money, and change clothes.
But as soon as I walked downstairs, I heard a bunch of aunts and aunts talking, as if something serious had happened.
When Li Anping was feeling puzzled, he suddenly realized that he could hear what the other party was saying clearly even when he was more than ten meters away.
"Oh, the old Li's family is really miserable. Li Anping committed the crime, but his grandmother left. Now that the eldest son came back, he was also arrested by the underworld."
"Be careful and don't talk nonsense, that's Huo Qing's man. He kills people without blinking an eye. Look at Jiang Li, who was slashed in the face, and didn't even dare to fart."
"Is it really that powerful?"
"Hmph, the person who came this time is Chang Zheng, who is a special debt collector under Huo Qiang. He is ruthless and has a hard backstage. You see, they called the security guards from the building, but they were beaten half to death. I heard that one leg They're all gone."
Li Anping was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help rushing behind the aunts who were talking: "You're talking about Li Liping who used to live on the 13th floor? Seeing that he was taken away like this, why didn't anyone call the police? Just let these gangsters run rampant? "He couldn't believe that there was such a rampant underworld in broad daylight.
The aunts were startled when they saw someone rushing out, and they didn't feel at ease until they saw Li Anping who was like a beggar.
"I was scared to death. I thought I was overheard by someone." The aunt patted her chest and glanced at Li Anping and said, "Little beggar, what do you know? Standing behind Changzheng is Huo Qing, Huo Qing is the big brother of Zhongdu, Who dares not to give face in black and white. And this Chang is under the fire to collect debts for him, so he is ruthless."
"How ruthless?" Li Anping asked, frowning.
"I heard that he was collecting debts in the city center last month and hacked someone to death, but nothing happened in the end."
"Don't the police care about this kind of scum?" Li Anping said angrily, "Could it be that Huo Qing is bigger than the government?"
"I can't control it, the water in here is deep."
Li Anping continued to ask, but found that he couldn't ask anything. After all, they are just a few little old ladies, and to be able to know these rumors about the underworld in Zhongdu is considered to have a profound gossip skill.
So he went on upstairs to the house. However, knowing what happened to Li Liping in advance, he kept an eye out and took the stairs instead of the elevator.
In this kind of old-fashioned public housing with elevators, no one usually takes the stairs, because the floors are high, and the stairs are very narrow and slanted, and it is very hard to walk. Ordinary people can be out of breath after walking a few steps.
But Li Anping is fine, his body has been strengthened, he climbed the stairs quickly, and reached the thirteenth floor in a blink of an eye, without feeling tired at all.
He carefully looked through the crack of the security door, and found two big men wandering in the corridor, chatting with each other.
"When do we have to wait? If this kid gets the news and stops coming, wouldn't we be waiting in vain?" One person complained.
The other person smiled helplessly: "That can't be helped, I don't know where the black hand came from this time, Brother Wolf and the others fell, Master Huo was furious, and must take revenge, so he woke up several big brothers in the middle of the night, not only Brother Chang, Brother Fei and Brother Bao are on the move. The only clue now is the missing kid Li Anping, Lord Huo has called him by name."
"This kid first provoked Shang Shao, and now he has provoked Master Huo. I think he will die if he wants to die after he is caught."
