Chapter 556: The Salamanca Family

The two stayed in New York for one night, and the next day they set off directly for Albuquerque.

However, on the first day they arrived, Cao Weicai and Chen Jiajun were dumbfounded.

Because on the very day they arrived in Albuquerque, the two encountered a robbery.

And it was at noon, when the sun was at its strongest.

Looking at the young man in front of them who clearly had Hispanic ancestry, waving a short knife and shouting "robbery" at the two of them.

Chen Jiajun still felt a sense of absurdity, and said to Cao Weicai: "Is the local folk culture here always this 'simple and honest'?"

Cao Weicai suddenly felt like dying; how could he have imagined that he would encounter such a thing the moment he arrived here.

He immediately became angry from embarrassment and said to the bodyguard beside him: "Waste this idiot for me!"

For this kind of small fry, there was no need for Dumu to make a move.

Chen Jiajun and Dumu just stood on the sidelines watching the show.

Two imp slaves walked straight toward the hoodlum.

Seeing that the other party had bodyguards getting out of the car, the hoodlum was clearly a bit panicked.

He dropped the knife and prepared to turn tail and run.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the hoodlum was, he was not as fast as the two imp slaves, who grabbed the hoodlum by the collar and slammed him hard onto the ground.

This immediately caused the hoodlum to let out a muffled groan, and he couldn't even crawl up.

However, this hoodlum was quite fierce; he reached into his bosom, preparing to take out a handgun to put up a fight.

He had heard clearly just now that the rich man had told his bodyguard to waste him.

But before his gun could be drawn, a large foot stepped onto his wrist.

With no strength left in his wrist, the firearm immediately dropped out.

The imp slave grinned hideously and crushed the hoodlum's wrist with one stomp.

This caused the guy to let out a series of screams that didn't sound like they came from a human.

This immediately made all the ill-intentioned gazes around them clear up instantly.

"Idiot, consider yourself lucky today, get lost!" The imp slave kicked the hoodlum flying, then left with Cao Weicai and the others.

When they arrived at the headquarters of the Southland Corporation, it had now been changed to 7-11.

A person in charge came out, bringing his subordinates to welcome the arrival of the two Big Bosses.

Chen Jiajun and Cao Weicai didn't say much, and followed the other party into the company for a tour.

The skeleton of the Southland Corporation was still there, so it wasn't a big problem for Cao Weicai to temporarily resume business and reclaim some lost sales channels.

However, wanting him to do anything else was a bit beyond his capabilities.

That was why he had found a headhunting firm, intending to find a Professional Manager to manage it.

After all, a starving camel is bigger than a horse for 7-11; although it had undergone bankruptcy liquidation, it still left behind quite a few usable assets and talents.

The two came this time specifically to stabilize those professional talents within the company.

Before the new Professional Manager arrived, it was better for 7-11 to remain as it was.

But before Cao Weicai could start painting a rosy picture, a middle-aged man walked into Cao Weicai's office and silently handed in his resignation.

This left Cao Weicai completely confused: "Hey, Luo Wen, what is the meaning of this?"

The manager named Luo Wen shook his head and said: "Boss, I have already made up my mind!"

"Do you feel the compensation isn't enough?" Cao Weicai said with a frown.

"No, Boss, the salary you're offering is the highest in this industry!" Luo Wen shook his head.

Cao Weicai was even more puzzled: "Then have you suffered some grievance? It's okay, you can tell me directly!"

Luo Wen shook his head: "My colleagues are all very friendly, I haven't encountered any unfair treatment!"

"Then what is it for?" Cao Weicai didn't quite understand.

The Luo Wen in front of him was a very important person to the company; without him, the operations here in New Mexico simply wouldn't be able to run.

That was why Cao Weicai had tried to persuade him to stay multiple times, only he hadn't expected it wasn't a matter of compensation.

The man named Luo Wen was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Cao Weicai: "Boss, I'll be blunt, the 7-11 convenience store has been targeted! That person is someone we ordinary people simply cannot afford to provoke. If I don't leave and refuse to collude with them, I will very likely die an unnatural death!"

Cao Weicai was shocked: "What kind of person is so arrogant? Is the law in New Mexico just for show?"

Cao Weicai knew how his Boss had started out, and he hadn't expected that he could actually be blackmailed.

He was suddenly furious; this was simply digging on the head of Tai Sui.

You must know why Cao Weicai chose New Mexico; it was because they had cooperated with the Huaqing Gang.

And here in New Mexico, the Huaqing Gang had great influence, and even had an island in Mexico as a base.

Although the power of the Huaqing Gang had declined in recent years, it wasn't as if just anyone dared to come and cause trouble.

Now hearing that someone was messing with them, Cao Weicai was suddenly furious.

After all, the robbery he encountered after getting out of the car had already made him lose face in front of the Big Boss.

Now with this happening, how would the Big Boss view him.

And so, Cao Weicai said angrily: "Take back your resignation for now, the company will help you solve the problem! I want to see who has such big guts!"

Saying that, Cao Weicai took his two bodyguards and prepared to go see who was causing trouble.

Luo Wen had a bitter expression, but he had no choice but to follow.

After all, this matter had started because of him.

Soon arriving at a store, Cao Weicai saw several hoodlums harassing customers, driving all the customers out of the convenience store.

These hoodlums were all fierce and menacing, and even the harassed customers dared to be angry but dared not speak.

Seeing this scene, Cao Weicai immediately said coldly to the two bodyguards beside him: "Go, give them a taste of their own medicine!"

The two imp bodyguards had long been impatient; they cracked the knuckles of their fists with a "crack" sound, and walked toward the hoodlums with hideous grins.

Without another word, he went up and gave this group of thugs a sound beating.

Luo Wen watched with a conflicted expression and said to Cao Weicai, "Boss, this matter..."

Cao Weicai raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "No need to say more. If this matter isn't resolved today, the group's subsequent work won't be able to proceed. If I can't resolve this, the Big Boss is still above me to handle it, so there's no need to worry!"

Upon hearing Cao Weicai say this, Luo Wen could only shut his mouth.

These little thugs were not resistant to blows at all; after a few punches from the demon slave, they could only roll around on the ground.

Fortunately, Cao Weicai did not let the demon slave take their lives, otherwise these little thugs would have been dead long ago.

"Enough!" Cao Weicai called out to the two demon slaves, then squatted down, grabbed a thug by the hair, and said indifferently, "Who told you to come and cause trouble?"

The thug gasped in pain, but gritted his teeth and said to Cao Weicai, "And who are you?"

"I am the boss here!" Cao Weicai said indifferently, "I don't have much patience, you'd better say something I want to hear!"

After experiencing two near-death incidents, Cao Weicai's style of doing things had undergone a slight transformation.

Previously, he was a thorough Wall Street elite, accustomed to handling matters with the style of a "civilized person."

But these two incidents happened to show him the powerlessness of a "civilized person."

Therefore, Cao Weicai was consciously changing himself, moving increasingly closer to Chen Jiajun's style of doing things.

Hearing Cao Weicai's words, the thug suddenly laughed: "Heh, so you're the boss here! You've got guts! Just wait to be unlucky!"

A little thug is just a little thug; he clearly hadn't realized his current situation.

He actually dared to open his mouth and make threats so brazenly.

Cao Weicai couldn't be bothered to waste words with him and directly had the demon slave break one of his legs.

The thug's shrill screams finally made the other thugs realize the reality. Cao Weicai asked again: "Speak, who are you people, and why are you causing me trouble?"

Now the little thug didn't dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly said: "We are people from the Salamanca Family. Our boss has taken a fancy to your supply channels and wants to cooperate with you!"

"Supply channels?" Cao Weicai's expression immediately sank, as if he understood something.

He took a deep breath and said coldly to the few thugs: "Get lost! Send someone from your family who can make decisions to come and talk to me!"

Hearing Cao Weicai's words, the few thugs felt as if they had been granted amnesty and scrambled away.

They didn't even care about the thug on the ground whose leg had been broken.

After Cao Weicai drove the thugs away, he said to Luo Wen: "What do you know about this Salamanca Family?"

Luo Wen shook his head and said: "I'm not too sure either, but looking at them... they look a bit like people who sell Laundry Powder! The reason they targeted us is that they took a fancy to our convenience store's shipping channels and want to use them to help them smuggle Laundry Powder!"

"People like this... I can't afford to offend them. Boss, why don't we call the police! Let the DEA handle it! These people are all desperate criminals."

Luo Wen appeared somewhat flustered; after all, as long as one is a normal person, no one wants to get involved with those damn drug lords.

Cao Weicai said speechlessly: "What are you afraid of? I've already taken this matter on. You just do your own job! I'll handle the rest!"

Does Cao Weicai have the ability to solve drug lords? Of course not, but he believes his boss will definitely take care of it.

After all, he had heard from the people at Guojun Security Company that the boss hates these drug lords very much.

He once personally went to Colombia and took out the big drug lord Pablo.

At the very beginning, Cao Weicai was also taken aback.

But after seeing his boss's methods more often, he had become accustomed to such things.

So after returning to the company, he immediately found Chen Jiajun, who was still conducting an inspection.

Seeing that Cao Weicai seemed to have something to say, Chen Jiajun chuckled and asked: "Encountered a difficult situation?"

Cao Weicai nodded and said with an ugly expression: "I miscalculated. I originally thought that with the care of the Huaqing Gang in New Mexico, I could avoid some unpleasant things, but the drug lords here are even crazier than I imagined."

Chen Jiajun frowned and asked: "What's going on?"

"A family called Salamanca found us and intends to use our convenience store's supply routes to help them smuggle Laundry Powder into the United States!" Cao Weicai said helplessly: "This group of people is quite overbearing; they threatened our employees and harassed the convenience store's operations!"

"Drug lords?" A cold light flashed in Chen Jiajun's eyes, and he couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth: "Those Laundry Powder sellers again, and they've even messed with me?"

Cao Weicai nodded: "I suspect this Salamanca Family might have some background, otherwise they wouldn't be so overbearing!"

Chen Jiajun sneered, then said to Dumu beside him: "If those guys come looking again, Dumu, you go and kill two of them. I want to see what kind of ability this Salamanca Family has!"

Chen Jiajun has a kind of physiological disgust for these drug dealers.

Especially after taking out that damn drug-making expert Lin Kun, this disgust became even deeper.

So after sending Dumu out, Chen Jiajun also contacted the Information Officer here in the United States to investigate what kind of people this Salamanca Family really is.

On the other side, in a small shack beside the desert.

A burly man covered in tattoos with a fierce face was skillfully grilling meat.

The aroma of the grilled meat drifted far away, making one's mouth water.

Clearly, this burly man's grilling skills were quite good.

And in front of him were a few thugs with bruised faces, each kneeling before the man, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Because the guy in front of them had a name, called Tuco Salamanca.

The most brutal guy in the entire Salamanca Family, and also the guy with the least brains.

He would kill at the drop of a hat, practically like a psychopath, so his subordinates were all very afraid of him!

After making himself a meat roll and finishing it, Tuco said to his subordinates: "So, you mean they rejected the friendship of our Salamanca Family and even asked us to go talk to them personally?"

The underling nodded hurriedly: "That's right!"

"Good, very good!" A ferocious smile appeared on Tuco's face: "It's been a long time since I've seen anyone who dared to go against our Salamanca Family!"

"However, you just came back like this?" Tuco suddenly restrained the smile on his face and said to the few underlings.

The few underlings felt as if they were about to stop breathing; only one who was bold hurriedly said to Tuco: "Their bodyguard is very powerful, we were no match. And he broke one of Kevin's legs, so..."

Tuco's eyes kept staring at this underling who was speaking, staring until the underling's whole body felt hair-raising.

This was the method Tuco was best at; according to him, this was a lie detector! As long as he believed the other party was lying, he would directly beat them to death alive.

After staring at his underlings for a long time, Tu Kou let out a cold snort and said, "Grab your gear; I want to see what kind of background the other party has, daring to refuse the friendship of our Salamanca Family!"

Hearing Tu Kou's words, all the underlings let out a long sigh of relief.

They hurriedly went to prepare their weapons to teach these outsiders a harsh lesson.

……

After grabbing their gear, the group drove directly toward Albuquerque.

At this time, the 7-11 convenience store had already closed for business, presumably having long anticipated that people from the Salamanca Family would come to cause trouble.

Tu Kou did not care about all that; he coldly said to his subordinates, "Blow this shop up for me!"

The subordinates nodded, picked up homemade explosives, smashed through the convenience store door, and then placed the explosives directly in the center of the store; only after exiting did they press the detonation button.

With a "Boom—", this 7-11 convenience store was instantly swallowed by a sea of fire.

Watching the convenience store ignited before him, Tu Kou laughed happily.

It was as if he were looking at something beautiful.

But just at this moment, a strange voice came over: "I knew you would stir up trouble, but I didn't expect you to make it this big; this is truly great!"

Tu Kou and the group of Salamanca Family underlings were all startled, then looked toward their rear.

Then they saw a burly man, accompanied by two others, slowly walking out from the darkness.

The person who arrived was none other than Dumu.

Cao Weicai had long known that since the other party was so overbearing, their revenge would not wait until the next day.

So he brought Dumu here to wait, and he didn't expect that they would really wait for the other party to come.

However, seeing Tu Kou blow up the 7-11 convenience store, Cao Weicai did not have any emotional fluctuation.

Because according to Chen Jiajun's intention, he wanted to blow the matter up to make it big, once and for all! So Tu Kou blowing up the convenience store was exactly what Chen Jiajun wanted.

Seeing Cao Weicai and his group walking over, Tu Kou immediately revealed a smile on his face: "You are the boss of this convenience store?"

"That's right!" Cao Weicai said indifferently: "People from the Salamanca Family?"

"You refused my kindness; no one here can refuse the Salamanca Family!" Tu Kou said coldly: "If you dare to do this, you must pay the price. This time it's your shop, next time..."

Before Tu Kou could finish speaking, Cao Weicai yawned impatiently and interrupted him: "There's no need to say the rest of the nonsense; have the elders in your family come to redeem you!"

Hearing this, Tu Kou was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly: "Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen such an interesting guy like you! Don't worry, I will definitely spare your life in a moment."

Cao Weicai couldn't be bothered to talk more nonsense with an idiot like Tu Kou, and said to Dumu beside him: "Dumu, it's your turn now; I'm going back to sleep for a while."

After saying this, Cao Weicai turned around, intending to go into the car to sleep for a while longer.

Seeing that Cao Weicai didn't take him seriously at all, Tu Kou was instantly furious: "You bastard, today I must use the power of a Colombian Necktie on you!"

The Colombian Necktie is a cruel form of torture, generally used by gangs.

This torture involves using a sharp weapon to cut open the victim's throat and then pulling the person's tongue out to tie it in a knot.

That is the origin of the Colombian Necktie.

Yet Cao Weicai paused his steps and said indifferently: "I hope you don't wet your pants in a moment!"

Cao Weicai had seen the style of his Boss's personal bodyguard, Dumu; compared to those methods, these Mexico drug lords were just well-behaved Baobao. (End of chapter)
