Chapter 2697

Zhao Desan said, "As for how they turned against each other, you don't need to know that. Just know that Sister Tong is not an outsider, and today's matter is easy to discuss."

Han Wu's rat-like eyes turned around, glanced at Tong Lan, and said to Zhao Desan with a smile, "Brother Liu, I just want to figure it out."

"Why? You don't even trust me?" Seeing that Han Wu didn't fully believe Tong Lan, Zhao Desan raised his brows and asked him impolitely.

Now that things had come to this, since the opening of the bar still hoped to rely on Han Wu and the others to watch the field, Tong Lan felt that it would be better to make things clear. So she smiled faintly and said to Han Wu, "Brother Han Wu, to tell you the truth, I have followed Golden Leopard for these years, completely forced by his lecherous power. These years, I have done so many things for him, making the bar business more and more prosperous, but that old guy never treated me as a human being. In the final analysis, I am just a tool and plaything he uses to make money. I'm not afraid of Brother Han Wu laughing at me. Today I also heard that Golden Leopard was beaten because Brother Xiao Zhao asked you to do it. He did this to vent my anger, because... because last time you couldn't come to the bar to work for him, Golden Leopard tortured me very miserably..." As she spoke, Tong Lan rolled up her sleeves and stretched her jade arm, which had been burned by cigarette butts, toward Han Wu, saying, "This is just a part of what Golden Leopard did. He tortured me too miserably. If I, a weak woman, don't leave him, I will be even more miserable in the future..." These words were the heartfelt words that Tong Lan had never said to anyone except Zhao Desan. Saying these words to Han Wu made her feel very sad, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing Tong Lan show the traces of being tortured by Golden Leopard and her emotional and pitiful appearance, Han Wu believed these words were true. Even he couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Tong Lan in his heart, couldn't help but hold back a breath of evil, gritted his teeth and said, "That old bastard bullying a weak woman is not a hero. It seems that the hand was too light that night." After knowing the truth, Han Wu felt that breaking Golden Leopard's leg that night was not too much. It was just that he didn't know the truth at the time and listened to Zhao Desan too much.

"Good brother!" Seeing Han Wu feeling indignant for Tong Lan, Zhao Desan patted him on the shoulder twice.

"Brother Han Wu, to tell you the truth, calling you over today is actually to discuss a matter with you." Tong Lan shifted the topic to the theme, looked at Zhao Desan, and then said to him, "It's like this. I also want to open a bar, but I, a weak woman, definitely don't have the ability to manage it. I can only do some things to entertain guests. There are all sorts of people in the bar, and someone will come to make trouble from time to time. I want to cooperate with you, Brother Han Wu. I don't know what you think?" Tong Lan explained the general meaning and wanted to hear Han Wu's opinion first.

"Sister Tong, it's a good thing for you to open a bar. Anyway, you have experience in this area. When the bar opens, with your public relations ability, Sister Tong, it will definitely affect Golden Leopard's bar business. This can also be considered a revenge on him. Not bad, not bad." Han Wu commented on Tong Lan's idea with a smile.

Tong Lan smiled faintly and said, "That's not what I mean. I open a bar just to do business, and I don't think about competing with him. Besides, I can't afford to offend that old guy. I have left that place now, and other than opening a bar, I don't know what to do. My purpose is very pure, just to make some money, enough for me to retire for the rest of my life. However, if the bar opens, it will inevitably compete with the Yi Jia Yi bar. I'm afraid that Golden Leopard will send people to make trouble in the field, so I want to cooperate with you, Brother Han Wu, to open a bar together and make money together. What do you think?" In Tong Lan's view, once her bar opened, it would inevitably have a negative impact on the Yi Jia Yi bar. After all, over the years, the business of the Yi Jia Yi bar was almost built up bit by bit by the good relationship she maintained with those customers. If it weren't for her dedication over the years, Golden Leopard's bar business wouldn't be so prosperous now. Once the bar was opened, it would definitely affect Golden Leopard's bar business. At that time, that old rascal would definitely not swallow his anger like this and would definitely send his underlings to make trouble in the field often. Now, looking at the entire Xijing, except for Han Wu and that group of people who had the ability and courage to fight against Golden Leopard, other little thugs would almost be scared to death when they heard Golden Leopard's nickname. Moreover, since Han Wu and Black Dog became famous in one battle, Golden Leopard also realized that this group of forces was rising rapidly. If he really tore his face with them, the old guy was not without fear of their combat effectiveness. Although he hadn't seen the combat effectiveness of Han Wu and that group with his own eyes, thirty people beat Sun Maomao's two hundred people to pieces and threw away their armor. One could imagine how terrifying the combat effectiveness of these thirty people was! Even some security guards in the Yi Jia Yi bar secretly called Black Dog the God of War.

"Sister Tong, look at the decoration in the Yi Jia Yi bar, how luxurious and grand it is. How much money does it take to open such a bar?" Han Wu didn't talk about his own ideas, but first asked this question that was a bit of a headache for Tong Lan.

Zhao Desan, who had always been very concerned about this question, also looked at Tong Lan with a curious look after Han Wu threw out this question. In his view, since Tong Lan had opened a dance hall before and had been a public relations manager at the Yi Jia Yi bar for these years, she should have saved a lot of money. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to break away from Golden Leopard so easily. After all, a woman, alone and helpless, if she had no source of income, how could she dare to cut off her own retreat so easily?

After hearing Han Wu's crucial question, Tong Lan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, she smiled and nodded, and said, "It takes a lot of money. When Golden Leopard's bar opened, it cost two million from rent to decoration. But that was five or six years ago. Now prices are soaring, and everything including decoration materials has risen in price. I'm afraid it won't be less than four or five million."

"Ah? So much?" For Han Wu, four or five million was almost an astronomical figure. Having mixed in society for so many years, the money on him had never exceeded three thousand.

"Nonsense, do you think it's opening a small restaurant!" Zhao Desan interjected.

"So much money, then... then how to cooperate? The total assets of our brothers added together are not even enough for a fraction?" Han Wu distorted Tong Lan's meaning of seeking cooperation and said a bit embarrassedly.

Zhao Desan finally understood. Han Wu misunderstood. He said, "You kid thought Sister Tong wanted to cooperate with you to let you pay? Sister Tong's meaning is to pack the security work in the bar to you, and the money earned by the bar can be divided among you, understand?"

"Is that so?" Han Wu suddenly realized.

"Yes, Brother Han Wu, you and the brothers will be responsible for the security work in the bar and prevent people from smashing the field. As long as money is made, I will not treat the brothers badly." Tong Lan nodded and said.

"This is good..." This cooperation method was almost like a pie falling from the sky for Han Wu. He nodded excitedly and said.

"That's settled. Once the bar opens, you and Black Dog and the others will come to watch the field?" Zhao Desan said to Han Wu.

Just after being excited for a while, Han Wu frowned again, looked at Zhao Desan and Tong Lan with a difficult face, and said, "Brother Liu, my promise doesn't count. It's better to talk to our Fourth Brother about this matter, right? If all the brothers go to work for Sister Tong without saying hello to him, I'm afraid it's not very good, right?" Han Wu followed Ma Laosi out. In such matters, he suddenly felt that he still needed Ma Laosi to nod and agree.

Hearing that the situation had changed, Zhao Desan and Tong Lan looked at each other. Tong Lan nodded to him, and he said, "That's fine. You contact Fourth Brother. It's best to meet and talk."

"Then I'll call Fourth Brother." Han Wu nodded and said.

Tong Lan looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "It's not early, let's go to the restaurant, and wait for Fourth Brother to come?"

Zhao Desan and Han Wu agreed. So, Han Wu called while following the two out of the coffee shop, came to a high-end restaurant nearby, opened a private room, ordered dishes, served wine, and everything was ready, just waiting for Ma Laosi to come.

More than half an hour later, a BMW stopped outside the restaurant, followed by several vans. Ma Laosi, sitting in the BMW, was biting a cigarette and led a large group of underlings into the restaurant in a grand manner. This momentum scared the waiters in the restaurant so much that they didn't dare to speak.

Ma Laosi had always been active in the New City District and had always been at odds with Golden Leopard, the underground world boss of the Linbei District. Coming to the Linbei District, to prevent accidents, he naturally had great momentum and brought dozens of the most capable underlings to the appointment.

As soon as the private room door opened, Han Wu saw that it was Ma Laosi who brought a large group of underlings, so he greeted him enthusiastically and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, you are here, hurry in, hurry in."

"Fourth Brother, we have met." Zhao Desan had met this Ma Laosi once in the 'Fire Phoenix' dance hall, and he also walked up enthusiastically to greet him.

Ma Laosi nodded, looked around the private room, and saw that except for Zhao Desan and Han Wu, there was only a beautiful young woman left, so he ordered the underlings behind him to wait outside the door. As he spoke, he walked into the private room.

Han Wu carefully closed the private room door and quickly walked up to pull out a chair and said, "Fourth Brother, sit down."

Ma Laosi was worthy of being a big brother in the world. All big brothers had a set of skills to pretend to be forceful. He walked up swaggeringly, sat down on the chair, and started smoking. ===== CHAPTER 2698 =====
