Zhong Kui's Diary
"You are, you don't want to settle this privately, right?" The officer looked at the Manager with a half-smile. "Then fine, please come with me. I now suspect you are colluding with the Mafia."
"How can you believe his one-sided story?" the Manager said anxiously. "At least it’s true they fought in public, right?"
"Then why should I believe your one-sided story?" The officer sneered. "What they did was bravely fight against the Mafia, and we should commend them for it. What? You’re not happy? Are you sure you want to stand up for the Mafia?"
The Manager immediately fell silent.
Fool, the police have seen us clash with their chief firsthand; there’s no need for relationships. If he doesn’t favor me, why would he favor you?
"Since you're not talking, I'll take that as you agreeing to a private mediation," the officer said coldly, turned around and subtly nodded at me before signaling his colleagues to leave.
Before long, Zeng Xian burst in with about ten big men, without saying a word, dragging the Black-clad Men outside where two Minibuses were parked.
I couldn't be bothered to entangle myself further with the KFC Manager and staff, so I got into Zeng Xian's vehicle. We sped off and stopped at a warehouse in Qingxiu District. Zeng Xian and his men dragged the Black-clad Men inside, and once the door was closed, they began to beat them up.
It seems Zeng Xian is also a good leader who leads by example; at least when beating these Black-clad Men, he took the lead while shouting: "Damn it, quickly tell me who you work for!"
Except for the bearded man, the other Black-clad Men were howling in pain, all of them hired by the bearded man. However, that bearded man remained tough; no matter how much Zeng Xian beat him, he didn’t utter a word.
"Damn, I'm so tired!" Zeng Xian paused to catch his breath. "This guy is really stubborn!"
"We can't rely on violence to solve problems; actually, getting him to confess is quite simple," Fatty said with a smile.
"Oh? Fat Brother, what do you have in mind?" Zeng Xian suddenly became very interested.
"Tie him up and then take off his Pants..." Fatty chuckled.
Zeng Xian was taken aback while the bearded man's expression changed; soon after, he revealed a disdainful smile: "Even if you ruin my flowerbed, I will not yield."
Fatty spat, "Who the hell would be interested in your ass?"
Zeng Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "So what does Fat Brother mean?"
"Go get a pot of boiling water and cook that thing of his!" Fatty said with a sinister laugh.
Both Kong Xuan and I burst into laughter. This method might not have the shocking visual effect of skinning someone alive, but for all men, this is truly a burden too heavy to bear. After all, that thing is not a renewable resource; you don't hear about it being usable again after being cooked.
Zeng Xian also laughed heartily and instructed his subordinate to go outside for hot water. Before the subordinate could move, the bearded man shouted urgently, "Alright, I was sent by Big Brother Jiang Jiang Chengguang to come here as the vanguard."
"Jiang Chengguang?" We all looked at Noodles. We knew this person; Star City has five districts: Qinghu District, Yuhua District, Chaoyang District, Qingxiu District, and River District. Except for the barren River District, the other four districts are controlled by Tang the Elder.
This Jiang Chengguang suddenly rose to prominence using the River District, and at the time when Huang Lao, the backing of the Tang family, passed away, he launched an attack on Zeng Xian and others, taking advantage of Yang Zhou, who was eager to retrieve the Book of Life and Death. Later, Yang Zhou was killed by Eerie Spirit Ghost Gong Ping'an, and the Tang family reconnected with the Ling Family. Realizing he couldn't gain any advantage, Jiang Chengguang suddenly vanished.
I didn't expect that at this moment, Jiang Chengguang would emerge again to stir up trouble. What does he mean? What does it mean for the bearded man to hire these people? Suddenly, I recalled my first encounter with someone from Jiang Chengguang's group; it was at a noodle shop on Haitang Road, where the leader was also a bearded man.
Could it be that all of Jiang Chengguang's capable subordinates are bearded men? A strange thought flashed through my mind, but I quickly dismissed it. What a joke; could it be that Jiang Chengguang's gang is called the Bearded Gang?
"Where is your Big Brother Jiang?" Zeng Xian cursed as he kicked the bearded man again.
"I really don't know; I've never seen Big Brother Jiang," the bearded man said with a bitter smile.
"Then how does he contact you?" I asked.
"He just applies for a new qq Number. When he needs to contact me, he adds me as a friend. Once he's done with something, he discards that qq account. The next time he wants to find me, he uses a new qq Number to add me again." The bitterness on the bearded man's face deepened.
We were all somewhat surprised. Why is this Jiang Chengguang so afraid of death that even his subordinates are treated with such caution? After a while, I awkwardly asked, "You've never even seen this Big Brother Jiang?"
"I don't even know if he's male or female." The bearded man sighed deeply. "No wonder our gang is called the Dragon Gang. Now I understand what it means; you can't see the head of the divine dragon."
"What’s going on with this KFC store? Since this store is under my management, why is it that when something happens, you don’t come to me but instead go to him? Didn’t we pay the Protection Fee?" Zeng Xian expressed his curiosity, "Is that KFC server part of your gang?"
"I'm not sure. Big Brother Jiang left me a phone number last time, and if that number calls me, I have to follow his orders no matter what," the bearded man coughed lightly. "This server called me using that phone number."
After taking the bearded man away, we discussed for a while and all felt that Jiang Chengguang's actions were mysterious; we didn’t know what he was really planning by hiring thugs to challenge the Mafia forces in Star City.
After much discussion without reaching a conclusion, we decided to first deal with that KFC server, and naturally, this task would fall to Zeng Xian.
Leaving the warehouse, the three of us went our separate ways home. News from Lingfeng and Tang Zian wouldn’t come back so quickly; Fatty and Kong Xuan could only go home to complete their assignments. As for me, Guo'er and Qingcheng were both in Beijing, so the only thing I could do was go home and sleep.
On the second day, Tang Zian called to inform me that Zhu Liancheng indeed had a habit of visiting saunas. The one he frequently went to was called Waterfront Family, a large bathing center located in Chaoyang District at Star Riverbank.
I called Kong Xuan and Fatty over because we needed to infiltrate as servers. Both Fatty and Kong Xuan shook their heads in refusal. When asked for their reasons, Kong Xuan's was somewhat acceptable; he had met Zhu Liancheng before and they recognized each other. However, Fatty's reason was simply that he was too fat: "Have you ever seen a sauna with a server as fat as me?"
"Fatty, you might have a chance for romance," Kong Xuan joked. "Who knows, maybe a beautiful woman will ask you for help with a bath. At that moment, you can professionally ask her, 'Miss, would you like a scrub?'"
"Please, you don’t know anything. The current professional term is 'Miss, do you need a private care service?' Come on, why am I even talking to you? Saunas have separate areas for men and women; there’s no way I’d be standing in the women's changing room handing out towels." Fatty scoffed.
"Kong Xuan is right. The break area is mixed gender; some wealthy women come in with interest and directly take whichever server they fancy into the lounge for some fun," I added with a laugh.
"That’s not likely; those wealthy women are interested in muscular types, not someone like me." Fatty patted his belly as it jiggled slightly.
"That’s not necessarily true; there are always some with special preferences." After Kong Xuan said this, Fatty seemed a bit tempted and ultimately decided to join me as a server. The manager there was Tang Zian's subordinate; it would be easy to replace two servers.
Fatty and I were assigned to the changing room area. In this area, everyone had to undress upon entering. At that time, Fatty and I could casually stand by and see if Zhu Liancheng had the Pentagram Scar. Once we spotted any scars on him, we would move in for an attack; those bodyguards shouldn’t be our match.
After staying there for about an hour, there was a commotion at the entrance. Four big men escorted a middle-aged man with a buzz cut inside. The middle-aged man had thick eyebrows and big eyes full of vigor; he was extremely well-built and walked with an air of confidence. I recognized him as Zhu Liancheng from the photos Kong Xuan had shown me earlier.
Once inside, the four big men looked around and told Fatty and me, "Stand back."
Stand far away if you want. Both Fatty and I have stepped back several meters. Anyway, Zhu Liancheng is going to undress, so even if we stand further away, I can still see if there are scars on his chest.
I didn't expect Zhu Liancheng to turn his back to us while taking off his clothes. After undressing, he wrapped a bath towel around his waist and casually draped a towel over his shoulder. He put the wardrobe's sensor key bracelet on his wrist, and at the moment he turned around, I couldn't help but mutter under my breath, damn it, that towel was perfectly covering his left chest.
What the hell, why is he draping a towel? Isn't that something the bodyguards should be doing?
Four bodyguards surrounded Zhu Liancheng as they walked toward the Sauna Area, leaving Fatty and me exchanging glances.
“Ghost Brother, what should we do?” Fatty swallowed hard and cursed, “This guy is not playing by the rules.”
“Let's wait here; he will come back to get dressed later. There's no way he would return with a wet towel draped over his shoulder,” I pondered.
“What if he really does come back with a towel?” Fatty raised an objection.
“Then we'll go wait in the Bathing Area,” I laughed. “I really don't believe he would keep a towel on his shoulder while soaking in water.”
The two of us greeted the Manager and slipped into the pool area. About half an hour later, Zhu Liancheng and the others came over. Although Zhu Liancheng was dripping with sweat, he still had a towel draped over his shoulder. Upon seeing me and Fatty from a distance, Zhu Liancheng couldn't help but frown slightly and whispered something to one of the bodyguards beside him. That bodyguard nodded and walked directly toward us.
