Chapter 14: Huang Laohu's Ambition

"By the way, what was the situation just now? Were you really that scared? Could Sister Ling kill you?" I was still quite curious about the bald guy's fearful reaction earlier.

"You don't know, there is a rule in the Heipi Bar: you cannot accept benefits or fight in the premises, especially for the bar's internal staff. If you break it, you will have a hand chopped off. This has been a rule for a long time, established long before Sister Ling was here. This is also the reason why the Heipi Bar's foot traffic is always full, because it's relatively safe, and with Brother Huang watching the place, plus the people in the underworld all giving face to Sister Ling!" The bald guy explained to me.

Only then did I understand that the matter was so serious. No wonder the bald guy was scared to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy; after all, the matter of a hand is no small thing.

The bald guy took me to a private room. The bald guy knocked on the door gently, and an impatient voice came from inside: "Damn it, who is it!"

This voice was none other than Huang Laohu. Huang Laohu's voice was quite distinctive, so I recognized it immediately.

The bald guy was about to say something, but I spoke first: "Brother Huang, it's me, Yang Yun. You told me to come when I was at the Lihuang KTV before!"

The door opened at this time. The person who opened the door was a woman. The woman had a very good figure, and her appearance wasn't bad either. She looked to be about thirty years old and was very tasteful. Although she didn't have Sister Ling's aura and temperament, she had her own characteristics.

Huang Laohu was sitting on the sofa, looking old and decrepit, as if he had been waiting for someone there for a long time.

After the woman opened the door, she also went out and didn't stay here. Huang Laohu looked at the bald guy behind me and signaled. The bald guy understood and hurriedly went out.

After I entered the room, there were only Huang Laohu and me in the private room. Huang Laohu picked up the red wine on the table, poured himself a glass, and then was about to pour another. Seeing this situation, I was scared and hurriedly preempted him: "Brother Huang, let me do it!"

Huang Laohu didn't refuse. I held the red wine. Looking at the brand of this red wine, it shouldn't be cheap. I had seen rich people order it when I was at the KTV before.

"No need to look, the wine isn't expensive, just over ten thousand a bottle!" Huang Laohu picked up the wine glass and tasted it calmly.

Huang Laohu's words almost made me drop the wine in my hand. I hurriedly grabbed it. After all, this was wine worth over ten thousand yuan a bottle. If I smashed it, I really couldn't afford to pay for it. However, it could be seen that Huang Laohu's conditions were very good; he could open a bottle of red wine worth over ten thousand yuan just like that.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?" Huang Laohu tasted the red wine gently and smiled.

I shook my head at a loss. I had thought of many possibilities, but I really didn't know why Huang Laohu would look for me.

"I think you're quite interesting. You can actually get Sister Ling to help you so much. You must have something to you!" Huang Laohu signaled me to sit down and said to me.

"No, Sister Ling might just be pitying me, that's why she's like this!" I had thought about many reasons for Sister Ling helping me, but besides this reason, I really couldn't think of any other reason.

"You're wrong. Yu Manling is not the kind of kind person who would help people. On the contrary, she is cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive. Zhang Longtao might not know much about Yu Manling, but I know her very well. If you can get her favor, you must have extraordinary qualities. And that day, I saw that you were very courageous and had guts, which is very much to my taste, so I wanted to find you to have a chat!"

I looked at Huang Laohu in confusion. Huang Laohu actually said Sister Ling was cold-blooded and ruthless, which made me very puzzled. Usually, Sister Ling was quite good to me and the KTV staff. Where did "cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive" come from? However, I thought about it and remembered Sister Ling's attitude toward the bald guy just now. It was indeed possible, which made me even more curious about Sister Ling.

"I'm not in a position to tell you much about Sister Ling's affairs. If you have time, ask her yourself. Do you know? Actually, a few days ago, when you and your little girlfriend and Wang Li had that incident on my territory, and today's incident in the bar, I knew about all of them!" Huang Laohu lay back on the sofa comfortably, looking at me pleasantly, watching my reaction.

I was indeed very surprised. I didn't expect Huang Laohu's energy to be so great. He actually knew about these things. I originally thought he was just a thug leader, but now it seemed it wasn't that simple.

"Oh, Brother Huang is quite concerned about my affairs!" I didn't have much of a reaction, just smiled slightly.

"Why? Don't you ask me why I didn't go over to save you? Since I knew your situation at the time, I could definitely have sent people to save you!"

"Brother Huang, you're joking. First of all, you have no reason to save me. Saving me has no benefit or value to you. I don't expect you to be able to come and save me. I have no friendship with you at all, and we even had a conflict at the time. I'm already thanking heaven and earth that you didn't kick me while I was down!"

Huang Laohu looked at me with approval and said: "You're right. I naturally have my own considerations. I have to see if you are worth my investment. Although you are very appreciated by Sister Ling now, I don't see any value in you. On the contrary, you're not as good as Wang Li!"

Hearing Wang Li, I was stunned for a moment, then carefully thought about it in my mind, and looked at Huang Laohu in surprise: "Is Wang Li with Brother Huang?"

Huang Laohu smiled and said with disdain: "For this kind of traitor, I'm still not at ease. He can betray Zhang Longtao today, and he can betray me tomorrow, so I naturally have to find someone more reliable. That day, I saw that you had more courage and guts!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you like Wang Li?"

"You won't. I believe in my own judgment, and I believe even more in Sister Ling's judgment. I know you want to go back to school now, right? These are not problems, but why should I help you?"

Huang Laohu said it very clearly. He could help me settle the school matter, and I could naturally hear his request: it was to hang out with him. But this "hanging out with him" wasn't directly hanging out with him, but rather making a name for myself, only then would I have the qualifications for him to help me.

"Are you aiming for Nanjie?" I'm naturally not a stupid person, and I roughly guessed his thoughts. I just didn't expect Huang Laohu's ambition to be so big.

"Communicating with smart people is comfortable. You're right, I do have this intention, but Zhang Longtao is not so easy to bully, so I need someone to work from the inside and outside!" Huang Laohu took out a cigarette, threw one to me, then lit one himself, looking at me and waiting for my answer.

"As long as we take Nanjie, I can let you replace Zhang Longtao's position. What do you think!"

Seeing that I didn't speak, Huang Laohu continued to say to me.
