Chapter 203: One Against a Hundred, Bu Tonglin
From the moment this kid entered the restaurant, Jianguo's hand never left his waist; from his movements you could tell he was ready to draw his gun at any moment.
Li Xin smelled a bloody odor from the bag he was carrying, and upon seeing that familiar face, he knew who it was!
One against a hundred, Bu Tonglin!
In the movie, the reason A Bu killed Ma Ye was simple: because Ma Ye had killed the female nurse who once saved A Bu.
And A Bu, to repay the nurse's lifesaving kindness, decided to take revenge for her.
Following the customs of the grasslands, A Bu used the enemy's head to honor the dead, so he took Ma Ye's head and placed it before the nurse's grave.
Li Xin remembers it so clearly because the Wolf Tooth plot is too simple—just a story of gratitude and revenge, without anything overly complicated.
It's just that simple and brutal!
Judging by the current situation, he hasn't yet gone to pay respects to that nurse; instead, he first came to the restaurant for a meal.
Li Xin waved at Bu Tonglin and said, "Come with me to the private room."
Then he said to Sister Juan, "I want the usual four dishes, and have the kitchen make a spicy boiled beef and lamb."
Jianguo came up beside Li Xin, said nothing, and just kept staring at Bu Tonglin.
Bu Tonglin hesitated a moment, but still followed Li Xin into the private room.
As an Inner Mongolian, Bu Tonglin possesses all the personality traits of the Mongolian people.
After the founding, the Mongolian people are also reasonable; if you don't provoke them, they will never provoke you first.
Hmm! You can't be unreasonable!
On the vast, boundless grasslands, the Mongolian people were nurtured; they are a nation on horseback.
They are warm-hearted and bold in character; many aspects of the Mongolian temperament come from the wolf.
They are brave, resourceful, rough, valiant and good at fighting; they treat friends with warm-hearted generosity.
But when facing enemies, they are extraordinarily fierce; the steppe wolves are not just joking!
Li Xin and the two others arrived at the private room, sat down, patted Jianguo on the shoulder, and told him not to be nervous.
Bu Tonglin put down his handbag and said, "I don't need meat dishes; I have no money!"
That one sentence made Li Xin laugh; he asked, "You killed someone and then ran off to Xi Gong with their head—your guts are really something!"
Bu Tonglin stared at Li Xin and asked, "How do you know?"
Li Xin didn't answer that question; instead, he patted Jianguo's shoulder and said to Bu Tonglin:
"This brother of mine also comes from our hometown; you don't need to be nervous—you're very safe in Xi Gong."
Bu Tonglin nodded and replied, "Yeah! I've also heard that Xiao Mengchang in Xi Gong looks after brothers from our hometown, so I wanted to take a boat from here back home."
"I originally wanted to book the boat, finish my business and leave, but unexpectedly, the Xi Gong dock recently forbids going out to sea, so I came in for a meal."
"Don't worry, I'll leave after I finish eating; I won't cause you any trouble."
Li Xin curiously asked, "Do you know who I am? Have you seen me before?"
Bu Tonglin shook his head and replied, "Looking at your companions, the one with the gun—aside from Mr. Li, there's no one else in Xi Gong!"
Li Xin nodded, accepted his statement, and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Bu Tonglin touched the wolf tooth on his neck and seriously replied, "After I finish my business, I'll return home to herd; Gangdao has no place for me to stand."
Li Xin stroked his chin; this guy, he's really easy on the eyes, can fight, and can fight very well.
He's the unequivocal choice for a personal bodyguard; as long as he's by your side, you basically won't need to lift a finger yourself afterward—he must be kept.
After thinking it over, he said, "I'll clear away your troubles so you have no worries behind you; how about you work as my bodyguard from now on?"
Bu Tonglin hesitated a moment, then spoke frankly: "Mr. Li! My troubles are huge; the forces behind Ma Ye are not small—are you sure you want me to work for you?"
Upon hearing that, Li Xin was speechless! Does Ma Ye's appearance clash with Tian Hong and theirs?
Ma Ye was killed by Bu Tonglin! And there's another one who was cut down by Tian Hong in the original plot.
None of them are intact!
Li Xin doesn't care about the forces behind Ma Ye; it's just that little Japanese woman who's a bit troublesome, seemingly connected to the Japanese yakuza.
But it doesn't matter; just toss them into the sea to feed the fish—no evidence left, who knows how they kicked the bucket? What does it have to do with Li Xin?
He picked up the big brother (mobile phone), called Chen Chao directly, and ordered: "Take people to the outlying island, eliminate the leaders of Ma Ye's gang, leaving just one conspicuous one."
He put down the big brother, looked at Bu Tonglin and asked, "Any other troubles?"
Bu Tonglin straightforwardly asked, "Mr. Li! If I stay, what benefits are there?"
Bu Tonglin thought it through clearly: returning home to herd horses wouldn't earn much even in a month; if Li Xin's pay is comparable, he'll stay.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Everyone around me gets an apartment, a base salary of three thousand per month, and bonuses vary."
"The more missions, the higher the uncapped bonus; fewer missions still get a basic bonus and red envelopes, and I also take care of their families' food, clothing, and daily needs."
"Children's schooling, elders' medical care, wives' work—I cover it all; how's that for benefits?"
Upon hearing that, Bu Tonglin immediately said, "Boss! When can I start work? Can you also bring over my family?"
"I still have younger brothers and sisters back home; I want them to get a good education and later strive to become lawyers or doctors."
Li Xin had Jianguo fetch paper and pen; when Jianguo returned, he pushed the paper and pen toward Bu Tonglin.
He said, "Write down your hometown address, then write a letter to your younger brothers and sisters; I'll have someone handle this, and they'll be able to come over soon."
After Bu Tonglin finished writing, Li Xin handed the address and the letter to Jianguo.
He told him, "Send it to the security company's station and have them handle it quickly."
After Jianguo left, the "old four dishes" that Li Xin ordered were brought up by He Qiang and his people, and set down.
He Qiang glanced at Bu Tonglin and asked, "Boss! There are still small river shrimp today; how about I fry them up dry as a snack with your drink?"
Li Xin said with a smile, "As always, Ah Qiang understands me—I must have one, and I'll enjoy a good drink; this goes perfectly with alcohol."
Seeing Bu Tonglin not moving his chopsticks, he asked, "What are you waiting for? Why aren't you eating?"
Bu Tonglin embarrassedly replied, "Boss! The rice hasn't been served yet!"
Heh!
Li Xin laughed and shouted to outside the door: "Sister Juan! Hurry up and bring the rice, we're waiting to eat!"
Li Xin also opened a bottle of beer for Bu Tonglin, handed it to him, and said: "Come, have a sip of beer first, the rice will be here shortly."
Bu Tonglin pushed the beer back, opened his mouth and asked: "Boss! Do you have any white liquor? This stuff fills the stomach and lacks punch; drinking it is boring."
Li Xin!
