Chapter 163

A few days later.

The brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu found Gao Qiqiang late at night.

On the rooftop.

Tang Xiaolong was clearly somewhat afraid of Gao Qiqiang.

He took out a stack of money wrapped in an envelope from his chest with a slight tremble and placed it on the coffee table in front of Gao Qiqiang.

"This is... the money the boss gave us after we finished the job..."

"What did that boss say?"

Gao Qiqiang looked at Tang Xiaolong with a calm expression, his inner thoughts unreadable.

But the latter was made to feel a bit creeped out by Gao Qiqiang's gaze and swallowed hard.

"He said... just act as if nothing ever happened."

"Does he know about me?"

"He doesn't..."

"That's good. He doesn't know me, and I don't know him. That's better for everyone."

A trace of a smile appeared on Gao Qiqiang's face, still calm.

He reached out, picked up the envelope on the table, took out the thirty thousand yuan in cash inside, and showed it.

"Wasn't it twenty thousand?"

"That... the boss said... this job was... done well, so he gave an extra ten thousand."

Tang Xiaohu, standing to the side, stammered as he explained.

But under Gao Qiqiang's calm, turning gaze.

Tang Xiaohu lowered his head.

Xiaolong, standing to the side, coughed twice before finally telling the truth.

"Brother Qiang, actually, it was thirty thousand from the start..."

"We wanted to earn a little for ourselves, so we told you it was twenty thousand..."

"But we... didn't put in any effort on this job..."

"The money is all yours..."

Tang Xiaolong finished speaking with hesitation.

The subtext of his words was also very clear.

This thirty thousand belongs entirely to Gao Qiqiang, drawing a clear line.

The two brothers would act as if they had never participated in this matter.

Gao Qiqiang immediately understood the meaning in Tang Xiaolong's words and said expressionlessly:

"That's not right, you two brothers put in a lot of effort."

"I'll take mine."

Gao Qiqiang picked up twenty thousand.

He threw the remaining stack of cash onto the table, his attitude clear.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaolong's face immediately became flustered, and he hurriedly signaled his younger brother to get up.

"We... we're leaving, Brother Qiang..."

"Did I go alone?"

But Gao Qiqiang's voice made the two of them pause, their expressions filled with fear.

Gao Qiqiang was seen holding the money, looking up and staring straight at Tang Xiaolong.

"Didn't the three of us go together?"

Beneath his calm gaze was nothing but pressure!

Even the viewers outside the screen felt a chill down their backs!

At this moment.

Gao Qiqiang seemed like a completely different person!

Carrying full pressure and majesty!

Making people afraid to look him in the eye!

Instantly, upon hearing Gao Qiqiang's words.

Tang Xiaolong's face stiffened.

He dared not meet Gao Qiqiang's gaze.

At this moment, Gao Qiqiang's attitude was very firm.

The deed was done by all three of them.

Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu shouldn't think they could save their own skins!

After a few seconds of mental preparation.

Tang Xiaolong, still under fear, picked up that ten thousand yuan and stammered out his loyalty.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang..."

"Taking this money... we are now people on the same boat..."

"My brother and I will listen to Brother Qiang from now on!"

Watching the two Tang brothers standing stiffly and pledging their loyalty.

Gao Qiqiang then nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his hand to signal for the two to leave.

Under the illumination of the rooftop lights.

Gao Qiqiang's profile was lit up, but the other side remained dark and obscure.

As if foreshadowing that he had already stepped into the darkness.

Accompanied by the heavy background music.

He was the only one left sitting on the rooftop.

Quietly examining the twenty thousand yuan in cash before him.

A line of tears, seemingly representing Gao Qiqiang's conscience, slid down silently.

He casually threw the money onto the table.

Under the music.

The seated Gao Qiqiang was like a godfather with half his figure hidden in the darkness.

Calm, yet filled with pressure.

· ····Asking for flowers····· ·····

Afterwards.

With these twenty thousand yuan used to grease the wheels of relationships.

The Gao brothers once again hosted a banquet for the director of the Jinghai City Telecommunications Bureau.

Amidst the celebratory sound of firecrackers.

The Qiangsheng PHS store, named after the Gao brothers, officially opened!

On the other side.

While the police were investigating the cause of Xu Lei's death, they were also digging deeper into the relationship between Huang Cuicui and Xu Jiang.

At the same time, An Xin, following the information provided by Gao Qiqiang, found Huang Cuicui's ex-boyfriend, Lao Mo, who was currently serving time, and informed him of Huang Cuicui's death.

...... 0

But what made the viewers' hearts tighten the most.

Was the result of Xu Jiang's investigation!

Under the arrangement of Uncle Tai, the true underground boss of Jinghai City.

The mastermind behind teaching Xu Lei a lesson, Bai Jiangbo! He was now sitting down to negotiate with Xu Jiang.

In the end, it was under Uncle Tai's instruction.

Bai Jiangbo had no choice but to reveal the names of the Tang brothers.

This immediately made countless viewers nervous!

Xu Jiang had learned about Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu!

Which means....

Gao Qiqiang and the others had already been targeted by the head of a major criminal force in Jinghai City!

【This is too fast....】

【This Bai Jiangbo is really unreliable!! He spilled everything in just a few words!!】

【Is it because he had to give Uncle Tai face?!】

【It's obvious Uncle Tai wanted to protect Bai Jiangbo; after all, chaos in Jinghai is good for no one.】

【What do we do now?! Gao Qiqiang's store just opened...】

【The Tang brothers will definitely spill on Gao Qiqiang too! After all, they think Gao Qiqiang killed Xu Lei!】

【Now that they've offended Xu Jiang... can they even stay in Jinghai City?!】

【The most critical thing is that they can't ask An Xin and the police for help! Telling the police is the same as walking right into a trap!】
