Chapter 273: Diverting trouble to the east
A convoy of trucks headed toward Shenshuang Pharmaceutical Factory.
The guys lying in ambush around the pharmaceutical factory had their eyes gleaming, all eager to make their move as soon as the car entered the factory.
Among the group, a man with a pockmarked face turned to the burly man with a face full of scars behind him and said, "Fourth Brother, I feel like something's not right? There aren't many people guarding this place."
"Cao Xin went out to run business today. There's only Hou Ping in the factory, so there are definitely not many people willing to stay here."
Li Si turned his head, his face twitched twice, and he revealed a sinister smile.
"Fourth Brother, what does this mean?" The pockmarked face clearly didn't understand what Li Si meant.
"How much power do you think Hou Ping has inside? He's surrounded by Cao Xin's men; he's just a figurehead. How can he possibly command Cao Xin's henchmen to work for him?"
Li Si sneered, "He's nothing. He's even trying to control Cao Xin's men now that he's out here. Doesn't he realize how long those thugs have been hanging around with Cao Xin... You're still young, you can't see how deep the water is in here."
Upon hearing Li Si's words, the pockmarked man quickly flattered him, "Fourth Brother is truly insightful. Cao Xin has been stuck in the factory these past few days, preventing us from making a move. Now, only Hou Ping remains. Do you think we brothers are afraid of him? If this succeeds, why would we be afraid of not being given important responsibilities by Fourth Brother?"
"We still need Fourth Brother!"
"Don't forget your brothers now that you've made it big, Fourth Brother!"
The group of lackeys around him praised Li Si for his uncanny foresight.
Li Si smiled smugly, "Don't worry, even if Cao Xin comes, we're not afraid of him. No matter how good Cao Xin is at fighting, can he beat a fire poker?"
As soon as the car entered the factory, Li Si ordered them to rush in.
The sounds of shattering glass and smashing mingled together, creating utter chaos.
The monkey arrived with a group of people and shouted at them, "Where did these bastards come from! How dare you come and vandalize Divine Frost? I think you don't want to live anymore!"
So Shen Shuang's men launched a full-scale attack, clashing with Li Si's men who were vandalizing the place, and the insults exchanged between them grew increasingly vulgar. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical factory's men seemed to be retreating, completely ignoring Monkey's instructions.
"Hou Ping, who do you think you are? What right do you have to call yourself king and oppose our people?" Li Si laughed heartily. "You're the kind of person who won't listen to reason, so don't thank me too much, Fourth Master!"
Li Si's men went berserk, smashing things harder and harder, even ruining the windows of Bo Bing's office.
The monkey's men were being beaten back and forth. Seeing that things were not going well, they retreated through the side door, cursing him, "What kind of coward are you? You're addicted to being someone's dog. Just wait, your monkey grandpa's reinforcements will be here soon. Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, grandpa won't recognize you as a dog grandson!"
Who is Monkey? His mouth is no cleaner than Li Si's. His insults are vicious and harsh, and most people can't handle them. Li Si exchanged insults with him for two rounds but didn't get the slightest advantage. He immediately became furious.
"Hou Ping, I'll fuck your grandpa!"
Li Si's eyes turned red, and he threw the machete. Hou Ping nimbly ducked and barely dodged it. He felt a chill, but still retorted with a glib tongue, "You've got some skill to dig my grandpa out of the ground like grass."
"I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Melee.
"Boss, it looks like a fight has broken out inside," Cao Xin said, parking the car in a dark spot, rolling down the window, frowning, and listening intently to the sounds from the street. "The cops are here."
"Gunshots," He Jinlan said, fiddling with her cuffs. "The sound came from inside."
Yin Su also opened the car window slightly, then turned to Bo Bing, "It's a revolver. Shall we go in?"
Cao Xin was somewhat surprised that the two of them were discussing this matter so calmly.
"Someone will make a move later."
Bo Bing looked out the window, her deep black pupils reflecting the ambient light with an eerie blue hue. "Cao Xin, come with me to get out of the car and take a look; He Jinlan, you keep an eye on your young master, don't let him wander off."
After saying that, the two got out of the car.
Seeing Monkey's men escape through the back door, Li Si immediately gave chase. He had lost his composure. Seeing Monkey waving at the approaching convoy, his blood boiled, and instead of listening to his underlings and retreating immediately, he raised his hand and fired a shot at the people getting off the convoy.
Of course, his aim wasn't that good, and his gun wasn't that easy to use either.
The bullet struck the car's hood, sending sparks flying.
The monkey gave a sinister smile.
Li Si was about to pull the insurance, but the moment he raised his hand, his pupils contracted, and the monkey's mouth clearly said three words.
—"You're finished."
Police lights went off.
The mob scattered like birds and beasts.
A middle-aged, bald man wearing glasses got out of the back seat of the Santana whose hood had been hit.
His tone of voice when speaking to the people next to him was even calm, but no one present could fail to detect the oppressive feeling in his words.
"A local tyrant who breaks the law," the middle-aged man adjusted his glasses, "damages property, conceals weapons, incites disturbances, and attacks public officials—"
"This will be dealt with seriously."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him took out a walkie-talkie, whispered something, and drove away.
Bo Bing smiled at the man and extended her right hand. "Long time no see, Vice Commander He."
"It's been a long time, Mr. Bo."
He Zhongtian didn't put on airs and shook Bo Bing's hand. "I have a mission to attend to, so let's talk about the pharmaceutical factory in a couple of days."
"I understand," Bo Bing nodded, squinting her eyes. "I didn't want to trouble the vice commander with this trip, but some of these medicinal herbs are experimental superior varieties, so I reported it to you. I didn't expect you to come in person."
"The agricultural assistance project can't afford to have any problems with the medicinal herbs under my watch," He Zhongtian said, withdrawing his hand. "After all, Shenshuang is one of the factories that are being supported."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while longer.
Bo Bing stared at the taillights of He Zhongtian's departing car until Monkey and Cao Xin stood on either side of her like guardians.
"Looks like we've gotten in someone's way," Monkey said with worry. "Brother Bing, these people..."
“As long as we do it, there will inevitably be people who will disapprove,” Bo Bing shook his head. “These people still think the new city lord is some kind of big shot. What era are we living in? They’re still playing those gangster tricks. The ones who will cause us trouble later won’t be these stupid people. It’s the ones who come from the shadows that are hard to guard against.”
These idiots who wear their thoughts on their sleeves aren't worth my time.
Cao Xin nodded, as if he had thought of something else.
"Boss, this factory has been smashed up..." He glanced at Bo Bing, then at the chaotic factory environment, and had a headache. "Those two who came with you, how about we get them a hotel first?"
"No need, just call them to my office later."
Bo Bing sighed, looking at the broken blue glass window with some annoyance. "Get some more people in the next couple of days and have everyone tidy up the factory. If you need anything, just take it from the account. Tell them it's been hard work, brothers, and we'll give everyone a bonus at the end of the month."
