What?
Dou Ge, who was playing cards, stared at his subordinates in shock: "What did you just say?"
Not only him: the other card players were all shocked as they stared at the person who came to report.
Then the man said anxiously:
"Something terrible has happened? I just saw with my own eyes that hundreds of people went to the police station to file a formal complaint against us... saying that we are loan sharks, bullies, murderers, and insults women, and that our crimes are unforgivable!"
Whoosh...
Hearing the tongue-twisting words, Dou Ge and the others were all stunned and incredulous.
How is that possible?
Dou Ge: "Are you sure it's over a hundred people? Not just one person?"
"I'm sure! I saw it clearly... There were at least a hundred people?"
Dou Ge: "Are you sure they're all here to report us by their real names, and not just to watch the show?"
"I'm sure! Because I know many of these people; they're our easy targets..."
Dou Ge: "Impossible! How could they dare? Aren't they afraid their families will suffer? And they even teamed up? They shouldn't even know each other. What do the police say...?"
"The police have already taken everyone in for questioning..."
broken?
Dou Ge's expression changed drastically.
They know what their own people have done to those people, things that are outrageous and reprehensible to everyone. These things may go unnoticed in the shadows, but if they were exposed, they could lead to death.
Although he couldn't understand what was going on!
But he knew he was most likely in deep trouble!
He instinctively took out his phone to call Chen Yu, but before he could dial, Chen Yu sent him a message first.
As soon as Dou Ge answered the phone, he heard Chen Yu's angry voice on the other end: "What are you guys doing here? Didn't you say everything was done cleanly and without any problems? What's going on now? How come there are hundreds of people filing real-name reports about public security issues in various parts of Songjiang? Do you know how much impact this will have?"
Dou Ge: "Sister Yu...I...I didn't expect this either..."
He really didn't expect this: after all, he had been in this industry for so many years and knew how to conduct himself properly. He never messed with those with powerful backgrounds or status, and when choosing a target, he would first take his time to see if the other party could find a powerful figure to back them up.
even:
He wouldn't even bother with unattached bachelors.
Only those without background, status, or powerful connections, yet who have families and businesses, become easy targets.
And they always leave a way out!
at least:
He believed he had kept some.
Moreover, his actions over the years have indeed been without any problems, and those people have had no choice but to tolerate it from beginning to end.
But how did something suddenly happen?
Or was it a collective incident?
Chen Yu: "I don't care what method you use to get those people to drop the lawsuit immediately, I'll handle the rest."
Dou Ge: "Yes!"
Chen Yu: "That's bullshit! Get it done quickly..."
Snap!
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Dou Ge didn't even have time to react before yelling at his men below:
"What the hell are you all standing there for..."
"Coders..."
"Find all our easy targets and go door-to-door. I don't care what methods you use, you have to make them drop the lawsuit, or I'll suffer and you'll all be ruined..."
"Did you hear me...?"
The many underlings below roared in unison:
"I heard you!"
"Don't panic, Brother Dou. Those bastards dared to report us. I'll show them what's what..."
"Do they fucking want to live? Do they want their whole family to suffer...?"
"Brothers...grab your weapons...charge!"
Whoosh...
They rushed out, each carrying a stick...
Bang!
Dou Ge sat there looking dejected and panicked, waiting for news, and then there was no more news...
...
All the brothers he sent out ran away...
That's right.
They all ran away!
Nobody was reporting anything to him!
Originally, these brothers planned to follow Brother Dou's instructions to find the families of those fat sheep and shut them up, but they were dumbfounded when they arrived at the fat sheep's building. Several reckless brothers even tried to rush into the building, but were stopped by the leader:
"What are you doing?"
"Charge in! Li Donglai's house is upstairs; his wife and children are there. Grab his wife and children and see if he still dares to file a formal complaint. Let's see what he'll do..."
"What are you looking at? You fucking look at what's that..."
The young man in the lead pointed downstairs.
now.
The impetuous brothers then noticed four or five young men playing cards downstairs. Playing chess in broad daylight is nothing unusual, but it was strange that several young men were playing cards, especially since they were all dressed in black suits.
"What...what's going on here? Who are these people? What's the point of them playing cards here?"
"What do you mean? Haven't you figured it out yet? Black clothes, black pants, black boots—these are Black Dragon's men."
What?
Black Dragon's men!
Several of Brother Dou's henchmen were startled and instinctively hid in a corner. One of them said, "What are Black Dragon's men doing here?"
The leader said, "Are you guys really that stupid? Isn't it obvious? The Black Dragon Group orchestrated this whistleblowing..."
"It must be because You Real Estate refused to cooperate with Heilong Group that Shenjiang Wang was furious. The riots a couple of days ago were just an appetizer. The real-name report is the main event. These Heilong people are definitely here to prevent us from silencing them."
The others also realized what was happening.
The feud between Heilong Group and You Real Estate has been common knowledge in Songjiang lately. How could the debt collectors working for Chen Yu of You Real Estate not know about it? In fact, they've been avoiding going out for fear of getting into a conflict with Heilong Group. Now, just after those clients had their protests, hundreds of people who were persecuted by them have filed formal complaints. Who would believe that Qin Jiang isn't involved? Besides, several Heilong Group members are sitting right downstairs!
"What do we do when they're guarding the door? Should we force our way in? If we don't go in, how can we keep quiet?"
"Yes! Brother Dou gave a direct order!"
"Let's call Brother Dou and ask him."
Snap!
The leader of the group snatched the phone and yelled, "Are you guys crazy? What are you thinking about keeping quiet at a time like this? What are you talking about Brother Dou for? The Black Dragon Group is clearly going to destroy You Real Estate. Even that old woman Chen Yu can't hold on, let alone Brother Dou. If he's crippled... do you want to be crippled along with him?"
"Do you want to join Brother Dou in opposing Black Dragon? I don't care whether you want to or not! If you do, then go fight Black Dragon and shut him up! I'm not going..."
"In my opinion, Brother Dou is definitely hopeless... If we stay, we'll only get caught in the crossfire... I have to run..."
He then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the group, saying, "Brothers! The wheel keeps turning! Until we meet again!"
