Chapter 150: Xu Damao Buys a Hit

The rickshaw puller squinted his eyes, looked Xu Damao up and down, and said: "Go to that place? The road is not close, it will cost one silver dollar."

As soon as Xu Damao heard this, he jumped off the rickshaw immediately and mocked: "Hey! A stinking puller, are you trying to fool a kid?"

The puller shook his head, "That place is very remote, and the road is not peaceful! For a round trip, most of the way back will be an empty car. Give me at least half a silver dollar."

"You should have said half a dollar earlier, making young master get off for nothing!" Xu Damao grumbled unhappily and reluctantly got back on the car.

He Ji Restaurant, Lou Zhenhua was hosting Bureau Chief Bai from the East City Branch Bureau today, and the two of them had a private room.

After a few dishes were served, Lou Zhenhua raised a glass of wine and said: "Bureau Chief Bai, last time your son had his full-month banquet, I happened to be in Tianjin on business and couldn't make it. I'm here to apologize to you!"

Bureau Chief Bai hurriedly picked up his wine glass, "No need to be so polite between brothers."

Lou Zhenhua nodded, "I am also entrusted by someone today. I heard that a few people died on your side a few days ago, and among them was my driver, named Xu Fugui. What exactly is his situation?"

"This matter?" Bureau Chief Bai frowned and thought for a while, "Do you know? Among the four people who died, you know two of them!"

Lou Zhenhua asked curiously: "Who else?"

"Do you still remember Zhang Jin?"

"Of course I remember. It was still me who asked you to help, so he could get a job."

"Zhang Jin is very ambitious, but his ability is not good. This incident this time can't be considered accidental."

Lou Zhenhua slapped his forehead and said: "I'm sorry, it was my fault for not recognizing his character. That year, the rolling mill was attacked by the little Japanese, and only three people ran out among more than eighty. Zhang Jin was one of those three. After the little Japanese left, he found me and asked me to help him find a job at the police station. I also felt he had it hard, so I begged you."

At this moment, Li Xiangxiu suddenly pushed the door open and brought a plate of boiled fish to the table.

Lou Zhenhua immediately stopped the conversation just now. After Li Xiangxiu went out, he said: "Bureau Chief Bai, try this dish, it tastes very good. Originally, our rolling mill also had a chef who could make this dish, but unfortunately, he has been in his hometown and hasn't come back, so I can only run here to have a bite."

Li Xiangxiu left the door after serving the dish, but didn't go far. Instead, she secretly stood at the door to eavesdrop—she had heard about the death at the Drum Tower and knew this matter had to do with Sister Daya, so she kept an eye on it.

Bureau Chief Bai continued the topic just now: "After investigation, this matter might be Xu Fugui colluding with Zhang Jin, wanting to kidnap someone, but that person had several bodyguards. These four people were also unlucky..."

"Kidnapping again, a dog really can't change its habit of eating shit!" Lou Zhenhua said.

"How come there was a last time?" Bureau Chief Bai asked.

Lou Zhenhua shook his head and said: "This is a family scandal, I don't even want to mention it."

Bureau Chief Bai continued: "This time I am looking at your face, counting Zhang Jin as dying in the line of duty, and even compensated his family some money."

Lou Zhenhua frowned and said: "Old brother, thank you so much this time."

"No need to be polite between us brothers! Actually, I have something to ask of you. A child of a good friend of mine is already eighteen years old and is idle every day. Can you help him arrange a job?"

"A small matter, tomorrow, tell him to come to the office to find me."

In the back kitchen, Li Xiangxiu pulled Chen Daya into the storage room, lowered her voice and said: "Lou Laoban and a police bureau chief are eating in private room number six. They said that among the people who died at the Drum Tower, there was one named Xu Fugui, and he was the mastermind!"

Chen Daya frowned, "At the time, I saw one wearing a mask and thought it was strange, but didn't take it off to see. So it was him. He harmed me, could it be because I beat his child that day? This person's heart is too small."

At the entrance of the Shuangxiong Association Dufang, bursts of deafening shouts came from time to time.

Two burly men stood at the entrance of the gambling house, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with fierce looks on their faces.

One of the burly men with a full beard saw Xu Damao approaching and cursed: "Little brat, get lost! This is not a place for you!"

Xu Damao gathered his courage and said: "Hey! Aren't you just a gambling house? Others can enter, why can't I? Young master has money!" He said, shaking his pocket, and the sound of silver dollars colliding "clattered" immediately came from inside, "Did you hear that? I'm here to talk business with Xiao Erduo."

"Get lost! Is Xiao Erduo someone you can call? Get lost quickly!" The bearded man said.

Xu Damao understood in his heart that this was asking for "road money."

He took out two silver dollars and stuffed one to each of them.

The two weighed the silver dollars, their expressions softened slightly, and they shouted inside: "Manager Zhang, a kid wants to find our boss, come out and take a look!"

The person called Manager Zhang was a thin, tall man in his forties. He paced out, saw it was a half-grown child, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, go, go play somewhere else! The boss doesn't have time to bother with you."

Xu Damao took out two more silver dollars and handed them over: "Manager Zhang, I really have urgent business, I need to find Xiao Erduo."

Manager Zhang's triangular eyes rolled, and he laughed happily when he saw the silver dollars, his tone softening a bit: "What's the matter? Tell me first. If it can be handled, I'll pass the message for you; if it can't, get lost home quickly. It's agreed, the silver dollars given out won't be returned."

Xu Damao didn't care about these unpleasant words. He leaned forward, lowered his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, my dad was killed by someone. Now only our family of orphans and widows is left. I want to take revenge for my dad. I know Xiao Erduo is righteous, he definitely won't ignore me."

Manager Zhang's triangular eyes rolled, and he cursed: "You little rabbit, stop flattering our boss! Tell me, who is your enemy? What background do they have?"

"The enemy is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she has no background, just that her family has some money." Xu Damao deliberately described Chen Daya's background as very simple, and didn't mention that Chen Daya knew martial arts—he was afraid the other party wouldn't take the job.

"After you let us kidnap her, how do you want to deal with her?"

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and said: "After kidnapping her, it's best... best to sell her to a brothel."

Manager Zhang squinted and thought for a while, saying: "Just this? No need to disturb the boss, I can help you settle it. However, since the brothers are putting in the effort, there must be some hard-earned money."

"I know the rules of the road, can you name a price?" Xu Damao imitated an adult's tone and said.

"The wind is tight right now, at least this much." Manager Zhang stretched out a finger.

"One hundred silver dollars?" Xu Damao gasped, "Manager brother, my dad just passed away, the family is really in difficulty, but I can't not take this revenge! Please have mercy, make it cheaper, I can scrape together fifty at most, do you think that's okay?"

Manager Zhang shook his head: "Eighty, not a cent less, this matter can't be done."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth: "Eighty it is!"

Manager Zhang squinted his eyes: "Doing this kind of business that costs heads, you have to pay first. Did you bring the money?"

Xu Damao shook his head: "I'll give you ten silver dollars as a deposit first, and give the rest after the matter is done."

"Get lost! You little rabbit, you have quite a few tricks!" Manager Zhang cursed.

"If you go to kidnap someone, you have to identify her first, then think about where to act. You send someone to go with me, and I'll give half the money to him. I'll definitely give the rest after the matter is done. Otherwise, you know where my home is, can I still run?"

"You little bastard, you actually know the ropes quite well. Good thing you know the severity." Manager Zhang led Xu Damao to a small room and went out alone to find someone.

Manager Zhang found Xiao Erduo's younger brother, Lian Hu—this person could fight, but had no brains.

After some instigation by Manager Zhang, Lian Hu quickly agreed to do this deal.

"That kid is still waiting outside, who do you intend to let take this job?" Manager Zhang asked.

"This matter is simple, you send Erniu to handle it." Lian Hu said.

Manager Zhang immediately found Erniu.

Erniu was dark and thin, his name didn't match the reality, he didn't look like an ox at all. He was quite clever, and his skills were not bad, but he was particularly lustful. If he didn't visit a brothel for three days, he would feel uncomfortable.

Manager Zhang called Erniu aside and told him the whole story from beginning to end.

Erniu said: "Isn't it just a little girl? After I play with her a few times, I'll sell her to a brothel."

Manager Zhang said: "You have to be flexible. Follow that girl for two days first. If she has a background, don't act, just take the money from that kid, and then kidnap him and sell him to a small coal mine." ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
