Ch 14 - Bringing out the reinforcements!

TL-ed by weiisnothere

At this moment, the internet cafe boss, Auntie Zhang felt a little restless and called out: "Youngster... t-this, what should we do? ...W-why don't you go first?"

It was obvious what Auntie Zhang implied: 'You caused the trouble, don't involve my internet cafe into this matter. It'll be troublesome if they brought their men down to smash my shop.'

Auntie Zhang had witnessed how fearsome Luo Lin was when he beat up the gangsters. Therefore she didn’t dare to speak harshly and could only try to persuade him.

Luo Lin took over a pen and a book from the counter, he then wrote something down with a smile: "This is my cell phone number. If those gangsters do bring people over, give my number to them and tell them I'm studying in the opposite school.”

Out of her conscience, Auntie Zhang felt worried about the troubles this youngster might face, but seeing how Luo Lin took everything on his shoulder, she still accepted the cellphone number out of selfishness.

Since Luo Lin didn't wish to leave then she can't force him to do so. If someone comes knocking on her door, then she would show her stance.

There are culprits for grievances and debtors for debts. They should look for this brat as long as they don't do anything to the internet cafe.

At this time, Luo Lin's phone rang.

"Hello?" Luo Lin picked up the phone.

"Hello, is this Luo Lin?" On the other side of the phone, a female voice could be heard. It sounded pleasant but the tone was slightly stiff and cold.

"Mhm yes this is Luo Lin, may I know who this is?"

"I'm Jiang Yan, Big Brother Wu gave me a call and asked me to fetch you. It's a coincidence that I had just gotten off work. Are you at One High right now?"

Luo Lin furrowed his brows slightly.

'A woman?'

'Jiang Yan?'

'I've never heard of this name before, did Big Brother Wu find a random friend to fetch him?'

'If that is the case then this matter might get a little tricky.'

Big Brother Wu, full name Wu Jinhe. He currently works as an assistant under Luo Lin's Municipal Committee Secretariat uncle.

Luo Lin's reason for phoning Assistant Wu was to let him send a driver from his department to fetch him, and because it’s a work vehicle, anyone will know it belongs to the Municipal Committee from a single glance.

In that manner, those bunch of gangsters would need to think twice if they planned on touching him.

If this 'Jiang Yan' was an ordinary person driving her vehicle, then it wouldn't be able to deter these gangsters.

'I miscalculated...'

After some consideration, Luo Lin asked directly: "May I ask if you're someone from the Municipal Committee? Are you driving the Municipal Committee Department vehicle?"

The moment Luo Lin uttered these words, Jiang Yan kept quiet for a moment before she spoke: "No."

After a while, she added, "I'm part of the Criminal Police Brigade, I am driving my personal car, is there an issue?'

'Criminal Police brigade?'

Luo Lin's tensed heart loosened: "Oh, there is no problem, I was just curious. Haha." After he said that, he hung up the phone in embarrassment.

'A person from the Criminal Police Brigade, mhm, this is good. It's fine even if she is driving her car. Once the gangsters try something, he would lure them all into the net and arrest them altogether.'

On the other side of the call, at the Criminal Police Brigade’s office, a beautiful and slender lady clad in a police uniform hung up the phone with knitted brows.

"What's going on Little Jiang, were you on the phone with your boyfriend? Did you guys get into a fight?" A middle-aged man teased.

"No captain, you've misunderstood." Jiang Yan's face flushed out of embarrassment.

Not wanting to explain further, she took her purse and strode out the office, "I have some matters to attend to, so I'll go first."

"Goodbye." When Jiang Yan had left, the middle-aged man couldn't help but heave out a sigh, "Youngsters nowadays are too impatient, they get angry at everything. Little Jiang also has such a fiery temper, were it not for her identity, how would her colleagues be able to withstand it?"

Jiang Yan drove away in a hurry, she didn’t even change into civilian wear, and her belly was filled with a ball of fire.

'What is this, it's so hard for me to get a break, I should've been resting...'

Jiang Yan had been bent on solving her cases that she gave up her breaks, and now she had to take out time to fetch this little devil!

Jiang Yan was a capable police officer, not a babysitter!

As thoughts filled her mind, the phone rang. When Jiang Yan noticed it was from Assistant Wu, she picked it up in a huff.

"Brother in law, do I really have to go fetch him? You know that I'm swamped with work every day in the office, and you actually gave me more things to do?"

Wu Jinhe understood his sister-in-law's temper so he wasn't mad. He laughed and tried to soothe her: "Little Yan ah, don't be angry. In two days when you get your break, I'll pay for a vacation trip for you and your sister, what do you think?"

Jiang Yan is amenable to coaxing but not coercion, seeing how polite her brother-in-law acted, she couldn't continue being mad.

"It's alright, my sister is busy with the child.”

“... The problem is that this little ancestor, Luo Lin is too unreliable.”

“Brother-in-law, can you guess what he asked me over the phone?”

“He asked if I am someone from the Municipal Committee, and even asked what vehicle I'm driving.”

“He's merely a high school student, why does he have so many questions."

Wu Jinhe spoke: "Haha, this Luo Lin, is the nephew of our Municipal Committee Secretariat, he's very pampered."

Jiang Yan suddenly realized: "Oh, so he’s the Young Master of Luo Enterprises. I was wondering why he's on such a high horse."

Wu Jinhe then added: "The secretary has a lot of matters to deal with recently. Since the higher ups had sent down someone to our side to observe our Secretariat Lee's every movement.”

“Sending our men down to fetch that child is not a big issue, but this is a critical juncture so we need to be cautious.”

“In the next month, I won't be able to send anyone to do work other than work affairs, and it's because of that I could only ask you as a last resort.”

“Little Yan, help Brother-in-Law this one time. That Luo Lin is a rich young master so he may act like a little emperor, don't pay him any heed."

Jiang Yan had a big temper, but she wasn't unreasonable. She inhaled a deep breath: "Alright, Brother-in-Law you should go do your work. Once I'm done fetching him I'll give you a call."

At this moment, in a bar near One High. Under the dim lights, three men could be seen resentfully knocking on a door.

"Who is it?!"

Inside, came a hot-tempered voice.

"Big Brother Dragon, Little Four, Yellow Hair, and myself have been beaten up by someone!"

"Fuck! Don't you know I'm busy?! Why don't you bring some men to settle it on your own?!"

"B-but..." Outside the door, the blondie took a deep breath, and recounted unhurriedly, "We were accepting our 'taxation fees' when this happened, the other party is alone, and said he will smash your face."

After he said that, there were no more sounds coming from the lounge. After a brief moment, the doors opened, and a woman with heavy makeup strutted out while covered in a bath towel, she flirtatiously twisted her butt as she ran into the next room.

"You three useless wastes, come in!"

The three blondies entered the lounge with a resentful expression before shutting the door behind them.

Inside the lounge, a middle-aged man with a big beer belly leaned against the bed with a cigarette in his mouth. He stared at the three guests with narrowed eyes.

"Brother Dragon!"

The three of them respectfully greeted.

Brother Long didn’t speak, he just looked at them and noticed a deep red imprint on one of their faces.

"Where were you beaten up?

"The alleyway opposite of One High, an internet cafe."

"FUCK! You useless wastes! Who beat you up? Was it the underlings of South Street's Wolfdog?

One High is located in the western area of Zhengzhou City. That area used to be a movie screening hall in the past so locals call it the 'movie area'.

There are a lot of gangsters who roam that area, and that territory belongs to Brother Dragon. His rival, Wolfdog, is from the southern area of Zhengzhou City.

Both of them are equal in money earning methods, in underlings, and their strengths.

"No..." The blondie in the middle had a face of difficulty, "it was a student that’s probably from One High. Judging by his skills, he might be a martial artist. I've never seen him around these parts before."

"What?" Brother Long glared with widened eyes, "Is he rebelling?! Do you know his name?"

The three men shook their heads together.

Brother Long frowned as he smoked his cigarette, he wasn’t worried but was simply disgusted at how useless these three were.

They actually got beaten up by a high school student. One must know that all gangsters in One High knows of Brother Dragon's name. Even the reputable gangsters of One High follow after him.

"Where is he?"

"We don't know, maybe he had not gotten far. We ate a loss so we quickly rushed back."

Brother Dragon got mad at the mention of this: "Then why the fuck are you guys still here? Hurry up and round up some men to obstruct the bus stops.”

“Also, stare at those cars. As long as it does not belong to the government, block them all. It'll be your skill if you could blackmail some medical bills out of them!"

"T-then... Brother Dragon, are you coming with us?"

"Come at your mum's head! He's only a high school student, and you dare ask me to show up? Hurry up and get out to finish this matter! If matters spread out and it smashes my face, the three of you will be beaten up by me!"

The three of them scrambled out of the lounge in a fluster.

When the doors closed, Brother Dragon took in a deep breath... Although he did not count as a person of the underworld, he was at least the 'overlord' of gangsters in the movie district. Years of experience told him that this matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

That high schooler might be sent by his rival 'Wolfdog'. That person probably took the opportunity to make his lackeys eat a loss.

Brother Dragon analyzed this situation, and it seemed like a challenge to initiate a war between them. Maybe Wolfdog was too greedy and thought the West Street wasn’t as 'fragrant', so he wants to come and grab some food?

"Hmph! What era are we in! He actually pulled such a trick against me. Wolfdog, no matter how amazing you are, you are merely a brave and ruthless ruffian. In this day and age, gangsters are supposed to develop both physically and mentally!"

Brother Long muttered under his breath, and he couldn’t help but feel complacent.

It could be said that he was fortunate. Brother Dragon had accepted a little brother a few months ago who turned out to be a rather reputable delinquent boss in One High, his name was Chi Shi.

This lad possessed the potential to mix in the underworld. Not to mention the fact that his father was the current Deputy Mayor of Zhengzhou City who held a lot of power.

The most important thing was that Chi Shi was pretty smart, he knew that powerful figures are able to live in the light and the dark simultaneously. So this youngster had already begun developing his underworld force.

As long as he continues developing in this manner, the future Chi Shi could be assigned a position in the government department using his father's relation.

That would also mean that with his contacts, it would be no problem for Chi Shi to provide Brother Dragon with some 'work'.

After a few years, Brother Dragon would rise to a better place in life. Not to mention a tiny bar, he might even be able to dabble in real estate!

Brother Dragon began to imagine his picturesque future as he dialed a number: "Hello, Old Brother Chi, I am your Brother Dragon! Are you free tonight? Come over here then! Bring some friends over, your brother will treat you!"
