Chapter 153

Yao Jun puffed on his cigarette: "This Pan Xing is highly likely Zhao Jianlong's person."

Zhou Andong said: "I know, but we must confirm it. Because our enemies are not just this local tiger Zhao Jianlong, but also a dragon crossing the river, so we must ensure that every step we take is foolproof."

Yao Jun nodded: "I have a buddy who drives a taxi and should know quite a bit about some things on the road; let's go find him. Even if he doesn't know, he can find out."

Zhou Andong started the car: "Where to find him?"

Yao Jun said: "At this time, he should be looking for business in the Tiexi red-light district; let's try our luck there. If we really can't find him, we'll go to his house later."

A railway culvert cut the city and suburbs apart, with clear barriers.

Zhou Andong drove through the culvert and entered Tiexi, which was also the most famous urban-rural fringe in Jiangzhou.

Its fame was not because it was dirty, messy, or poor, but because pink lights were shining everywhere here.

Whether it was a hair salon, foot massage parlor, barbershop, audio-visual store, or video hall, there was no exception.

If you walked into the alleys, you would also find that there were many private houses that also shone with pink lights, and all of them shone all night long.

If an outsider asked where the most fun place in Jiangzhou was, many young people would tell you Tiexi. If it were a taxi driver, he would take you straight here. As long as you had 20 or 30 yuan, you could walk into any place shining with red lights and enjoy the ultimate service. As long as you wanted, regardless of fat or thin, women of all ages could be found.

"Boss, come and play."

"Boss, wash your hair; I guarantee to make you comfortable."

"Boss, our video hall has booths; after ten o'clock, we play XXX, and there are little sisters, beautiful and obedient, and the price isn't expensive; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Boss..."

"Boss..."

Zhou Andong parked the car on the side of the road, and as soon as he and Yao Jun got out of the car, they were immediately surrounded by more than ten women.

Yao Jun put his hands together and said with a grin: "Sisters, your brother is here to find someone; let's play when there's time."

Zhou Andong turned around and was just about to leave when he was grabbed by the arm by a woman. Looking up, a woman whose age couldn't be told, with bright red lips and heavy makeup, was winking at him.

"Little brother, let me tell you, women have those few days a month when they are uncomfortable, but actually, you men do too. In those few days, you will show low will, lack of energy, irritability, anxiety, depression, and many other negative emotions. Come, come inside, sister will loosen your bones, I guarantee to make you feel relaxed."

Zhou Andong felt a churn in his stomach, hurriedly broke free from the woman's entanglement, and ran far away.

Looking at Yao Jun, who was also somewhat embarrassed, he gave a bitter smile: "Damn, I rarely came here before. Today, sure enough, it lives up to its reputation; it's too terrifying."

Yao Jun tidied his clothes: "This place really should be rectified."

Zhou Andong knew that in '97, in '96, there was another nationwide crackdown, and this famous pink light district in Jiangzhou was thoroughly cleared.

"Whether it's rectified or not has nothing to do with us." Zhou Andong looked at the row of yellow vans parked on the side of the road, "Let's find the person."

Yao Jun nodded: "His license plate number is 94958."

As soon as his voice fell, a yellow van door opened, and a little fatty ran over: "Brother Dajun, why did you run here? Are you here to find a girl? Brother will introduce you to a gentle and beautiful one."

"Get lost!" Yao Jun kicked the guy on the bottom, "Let me introduce you, this is Brother Dong, whom I often talk to you about. He is now the factory director of our liquor factory. Brother Dong, his name is Zhang Guodong."

"Brother Dong, hello, hello!" Zhang Guodong grabbed Zhou Andong's hand and shook it continuously, the smile on his face looking as lewd as it could be, "A few days ago, I was drinking with Brother Dajun, and he mentioned you, saying that with your own strength, you brought a liquor factory on the verge of bankruptcy back to life."

Speaking of this, the guy gave a thumbs up, "You are absolutely this; if there's a chance to get rich in the future, you must think of your brother."

Zhou Andong laughed: "Definitely!"

"Let's go!" Zhang Guodong said magnanimously: "Find a place to drink; my treat."

Zhou Andong said: "Brother, to tell you the truth, Dajun and I came here specifically to find you."

"Find me?" Zhang Guodong was stunned.

Yao Jun said: "Yes, there's an important matter to ask you; there's plenty of time for drinking later."

"Alright!" Zhang Guodong said: "Get in the car and talk; it's too cold outside."

The three got into the yellow van, and Yao Jun asked: "Guodong, do you know a person named Pan Xing?"

"Pan Xing?" Zhang Guodong said: "I don't know, is the one you're asking about the one I know?"

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and shared one with the two: "Tell me!"

Zhang Guodong said: "The brick kilns in this Tiexi area are all controlled by Pan Xing. I heard that a while ago, Zhao Jianlong's several night venues were taken over by him."

"That's him!" Yao Jun said decisively.

Zhou Andong nodded, pushed the car door open, and got out: "Brother, have time to drink with you later; we have things to do now, let's go first."

Zhang Guodong was confused. Seeing Zhou Andong and Yao Jun get into a Santana in front, he shivered slightly, wrapped his cotton coat, muttered something, and got into the car.

Zhou Andong sent Dajun home first, then returned to the liquor factory, went up to the dormitory building, and knocked on Gu Bing's door.

"Who is it!" Gu Bing's lazy voice came from inside.

"Me!" Zhou Andong banged on the door again, "Hurry up and open the door."

"Damn!" Gu Bing opened the door, "You calf thing, coming to visit someone and knocking on the door so arrogantly."

Zhou Andong chuckled, entered the room: "Do you have any acquaintances in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Land Bureau?"

Gu Bing asked: "What for?"

Zhou Andong told the whole story in detail.

Gu Bing frowned: "What do you plan to do?"

Zhou Andong said coldly: "The one who tied the bell must untie it. The noose around Zhou Anbin's neck was set by Zhao Jianlong, so I'll let him untie it himself."

Gu Bing's frown deepened: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Andong didn't answer him, but said: "I heard that Zhao Jianlong disposed of all his assets and is preparing to wash his hands and go ashore to engage in real estate."

Gu Bing asked: "Who did you hear that from?"

"Why do you have so much nonsense." Zhou Andong said dissatisfiedly, "You just need to help me confirm whether Zhao Jianlong registered a real estate company and whether he is preparing to develop that piece of land in Lishui Village, Chengnan."

In his previous life, Zhao Jianlong entered the real estate market two years later, but now, his video hall was sealed, and he sold all his assets; all these signs indicated that Zhao Jianlong entered the real estate market ahead of schedule. If he could confirm this news, he could rub Zhao Jianlong on the ground.
