Chapter 1169
: Finally Falling into the Trap
Tian Ya was confused. She thought Yi Zhonghai would either scold her violently or make some sarcastic remarks to her.
But I didn't expect it to end so poorly. Is it just going to end like this?
Tian Ya didn't dare to say anything more. She could only respond in a low voice, lowered her head, and walked out of the door past Yi Zhonghai.
When they reached the darkness, Tian Ya couldn't help sobbing, wiped her eyes, but looked back again.
Tian Ya looked back and saw Yi Zhonghai stood up and walked out the door. Tian Ya was startled and subconsciously moved towards the wall by the roadside.
But Yi Zhonghai didn't pay attention to the direction she went, but just stared at the opposite side.
This made Tian Ya surprised again.
She also looked in the direction Yi Zhonghai was staring at, and saw a man standing opposite the repair shop looking around.
If this situation is normal during the day, you should cross the road and check whether there are any vehicles passing by on both sides of the road.
But it was night time, not to mention there weren't many cars these days.
Even if you ride a bicycle, you will ride very slowly when you go out at this time.
On some roads with poor visibility, the car bell will be rung to give reminders.
Of course there are exceptions to this, but Tian Ya had doubts about Yi Zhonghai's situation. Now when she sees anything related to Yi Zhonghai, she will think more.
The thugs on this side of the road just took a quick observation, especially noticing that Yi Zhonghai was the only one in the shop and that Yi Zhonghai came out to greet them, then they walked over with confidence.
It was obvious that he could have welcomed him generously, but because Yi Zhonghai had something to hide, he lowered his voice and greeted him: "Brother Hu, why are you here now? Is there something wrong?"
The man finally stood under the street light at the door of the repair shop. He was not very old, and he looked pretty good, except that his hair was a little longer than that of young people of his time, and it was not as neat as that of an educated person, and looked rather greasy.
This is also a very interesting phenomenon. From ancient times to the present, ruffians and gangsters have liked to look and dress differently from ordinary people, so that when people look at them straight in the eye, they would think that this person is not a good person.
On the contrary, the truly evil people who do bad things have ordinary looks and can be basically impossible to find if you throw them into a crowd of people.
The young man named Brother Hu was originally shrinking his neck, but when Yi Zhonghai asked him, he subconsciously straightened his back, raised his nose to the sky, and said proudly: "What can I do?
I'm just busy with work and don't have time to come out during this period."
Yi Zhonghai welcomed the man into the store. Naturally, he did not believe what the young man said.
There is only one situation where these thugs won't come to him, and that is when they have a lot of money in their pockets.
Otherwise, these people would wander around the streets and pass by the entrance of Yi Zhonghai store while strolling.
One is to show presence, and the other is to get a cigarette.
Even if he was called "Brother Tiger", Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it.
There are too many people in society with names like Tiger and Leopard.
However, most gangsters cannot bear such a name. Those who are called these names don’t end up well in the end.
Only young hooligans like loud signs.
As for work, think about Chen Wu in the front yard of No. 95 Courtyard, and you can understand the value of the work that "Brother Hu" mentioned.
We can't say that nonsense. In today's Beijing, except for the elderly or those with health problems, or women and children, everyone else has a job.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Young people without jobs are all sent to the countryside.
But most of them are just a name on some small unit. It is important to remind you that this is because they were named early and are considered temporary workers.
And now, those loopholes have been plugged.
Most units are now clearing out temporary workers in order to prevent many well-off families from trying to use backdoor channels to keep their children in the city.
There are three types of young people who can stay in the city now: those who have a job or are in school, those who are only children, and those who are married girls.
Yi Zhonghai didn't know the specific situation of this "Brother Tiger".
In fact, when he first got involved with "Brother Tiger", he didn't know from the beginning that he was going to do anything illegal.
With Yi Zhonghai's courage, if he had known from the beginning that "Brother Hu" was this kind of person, all the things that happened later would never have happened.
When this young man first came over and met me, he was quite polite and enthusiastic.
In order to help Yi Zhonghai attract business, "Brother Hu" also helped to settle the disputes with some people who were difficult to talk to and criticized Yi Zhonghai's craftsmanship.
This is the first stage.
The second stage is when "Brother Tiger" makes up stories.
For example, put something in Yi Zhonghai's shop and say someone will come to pick it up later.
Or maybe a relative in the family had his bicycle stolen, or lost money playing cards and had to pay off debts, and had a spare tire or an air pump left, so they sold it to Yi Zhonghai at a low price.
In fact, Yi Zhonghai is also an old hand, so he knows that these are traps, but he can't refuse a favor. Moreover, at that time, "Brother Tiger" was still trying to lure him with the matter of cleaning up the gangsters.
Another thing is that it is really a matter of taking advantage.
After a few rounds, when Yi Zhonghai had taken enough advantage, "Brother Tiger" also revealed his true colors.
This is why Yi Zhongshang was fooled.
A situation like this is really hard to break.
Once such people target you, if one method doesn't work, they will think of another one.
If Yi Zhonghai wasn't greedy for money, people would have thought of other ways.
For example, they would find something to deliberately frame Yi Zhonghai, or arrange for people to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai, and then come out to be good people at the critical moment.
Or if Yi Zhonghai had children, people would also think of starting with his children.
The premise of everything is that Yi Zhonghai has made mistakes before and is afraid that things will get out of hand and cause trouble, so when encountering problems, he will choose to keep quiet.
It's that simple.
So as the ancients said, those who have nothing to desire have nothing to fear. This is roughly what it means.
"Brother Hu" definitely didn't come here to comfort Yi Zhonghai.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, "Brother Tiger" said seriously: "Old Yi, find a place.
Recently, my brothers have taken a fancy to several batches of goods, the quantity is quite large.
If we finish it this time, we can rest for half a year.
As for that kid, you don't have to pay any attention to him. He broke the rules first. We will find a way to kick him out and won't let him play with us in the future.
This kid dares to make trouble, we brothers will deal with him.
It will definitely not affect you..."
The "Brother Tiger" is of course referring to the thief who stole a new car and planned to sell the entire car for a high price.
If Yi Zhonghai encountered such a thing, he would definitely ask "Brother Hu" for advice.
And "Brother Tiger" was also very clear and made a direct guarantee to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai frowned, feeling a little relieved, but still asked tentatively: "You can't find a place? I can't find such a big market here...." (End of this chapter)
