Chapter 341 The beach in Shanghai is all the same!
First floor.
The originally cheerful and lively atmosphere was instantly broken.
A group of men in black suits with hatchets on their waists entered the restaurant without saying a word and smashed everything they saw.
Before the guests who were dining could figure out what was going on, the table in front of them was overturned by the group, and all the dishes, cups and bottles on the table were smashed to the ground, leaving a mess.
The guests stood up and hid one after another, and the waiter and the shopkeeper behind the stage also looked at this scene at a loss, as if they had never encountered such a situation before.
"stop!"
At this moment, a woman hurried over from the backyard of the restaurant.
The first time he saw her, Zheng Jirong's eyes lit up instantly.
The woman's face is delicate and picturesque, with clear and three-dimensional facial features, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, and jade-like white skin. This is a beauty who can rival Ruan Mei, Jiang Yunyun and Cheng Leer in terms of beauty.
She was wearing an exquisite dress, her hair was tied up high, and it trembled slightly with her steps, showing a unique style of the Republic of China period.
Zheng Jirong grabbed the waiter at the table who was about to go downstairs to help, pointed at the woman below and asked, "Do you know this girl?"
"Of course I know you," the waiter said ostentatiously, "This is the owner of our restaurant. He just came to Shanghai from Peiping to visit relatives."
"My boss?"
Zheng Jirong pretended not to believe it: "She looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can she open such a big restaurant?"
"Hey, what's a restaurant?" the waiter approached Zheng Jirong and whispered, "our boss's brother is the chief executive of Beiyang Palace!"
hiss.
Zheng Jirong was really surprised at this moment. Not only was he surprised by the identity of this woman, but what surprised him even more was how the family members of senior officials from Beiyang Palace came to the territory of Guominzheng Palace in the south, and were even attacked by a group of people. Gangsters were bullied.
"After talking for a long time, what is the name of your boss?"
The shop clerk who was tightly grasped by his arm could only murmur a few words in a low voice. After his hand was released, he hurried downstairs.
At this time, after Zheng Jirong heard the name told by the waiter, he couldn't help turning his head and taking a closer look at the girl downstairs with raised eyebrows and a delicate look.
"Bai Xiuzhu?"
Lobby on the first floor.
Seeing how much sleep she had sacrificed and the carefully designed and decorated hotel being smashed to pieces, Bai Xiuzhu, who was originally impulsive, pointed angrily at the group of people and shouted:
"Why are you destroying my hotel?"
"Why?"
Outside the door of the restaurant, a fat man in a suit and a white hat walked in, biting a cigarette butt.
He pulled out the ax from the back of his waist, held it in front of Bai Xiuzhu and said harshly: "Is this enough?"
"You guys from the north dare to open a restaurant on Huaihai Road without even paying homage to our Ax Gang's dock?!"
"Worship the dock?"
Bai Xiuzhu almost laughed angrily when she heard this. She pointed at herself and said, "You mean, if I open a restaurant here, I have to go to the dock with you scumbags?"
"Hey help scum?"
The second leader of the Ax Gang strode directly to Bai Xiuzhu, glared at her condescendingly and cursed: "Zi Na Niang Coin, how dare you say that!"
"How dare you scold me?"
Faced with his approaching step by step, Bai Xiuzhu was not afraid at all. She walked directly to the cash register and picked up the phone, "I advise you to leave quickly, or I will call someone to arrest you now!!"
"Call the police? Hahaha."
The second gang leader seemed to have heard a joke and laughed loudly: "Even the police chief has to give us an ax to save face. Do you think this can scare me?"
"Who told you I was going to call the police?"
After Bai Xiuzhu looked at them coldly, she raised her hand to turn the dial.
Seeing that this woman looked like she had a backing and you couldn't afford to offend her, the second gang leader felt a little unsure.
For these local high-profile gangs, they know better than anyone else who they can and cannot mess with in Shanghai.
But although the woman in front of him was indeed beautiful, he had never seen her in Shanghai or in the newspapers.
etc!
He looked at Bai Xiuzhu again, and suddenly an unknown premonition arose in his heart.
Could this woman be the mistress of some high-ranking official?
Thinking of this, his heart tightened, and he reached out and snatched the phone away.
"you!!!"
Bai Xiuzhu frowned and was about to snatch the phone back when an ax hit the phone line directly, cutting it off.
Seeing this scene, although Bai Xiuzhu felt a little frightened, she still suppressed her inner uneasiness and sneered: "Haha. Are you afraid now?"
"Am I afraid of you?!"
The second gang leader was about to say a few harsh words when he suddenly saw the clerks and customers in the store looking at him with mocking expressions out of the corner of his eye. Feeling that he was losing face, he immediately pulled out the ax embedded in the table.
He raised the ax high and struck it directly at Bai Xiuzhu's face. Of course he didn't dare to hit it with this axe. The second gang leader, who was already sure that this woman had a back-up, just wanted to use this ax to scare her and intimidate the shop. These guys in there.
But to his surprise, just when he swung the ax, a figure suddenly flashed in front of Bai Xiuzhu.
In this flash of lightning, he felt like he had been kicked in the chest. When he reacted, he had flown backwards for more than ten meters, smashed through the thick wooden door, and fell heavily on the street outside!
"this"
The younger brothers of the Ax Gang were stunned when they saw this scene. They looked at each other and then ran out to check on their eldest brother.
"Boss!"
A young man who was walking quickly saw the second master lying on the ground and immediately came up to help him up.
"do not move!"
The second boss spat out a mouthful of blood and said with twitching lips: "It's broken. Throw firecrackers! Call people!"
After hearing his words, the younger brother took out the firecracker in his arms and lit it. A few seconds later, an axe-shaped firework exploded over Huaihai Road.
"Damn it! Revenge the boss!"
After that, the dozen or so boys from the Ax Gang pulled out their axes and rushed towards Zheng Jirong in the hotel.
In the lobby, Bai Xiuzhu, who had come back to her senses, looked at the tall figure standing in front of her. Just when she was about to say thank you, she suddenly saw these guys rushing in with axes. She quickly warned: "Be careful!"
After hearing this, Zheng Jirong turned to smile and nodded at her.
This was the first time Bai Xiuzhu saw Zheng Jirong's face. Not only was he unexpectedly handsome, but he also had a side-swept head that she had never seen before, and he looked very relaxed and confident.
Zheng Jirong didn't mean to show off. If the two masters at the top of the killer rankings, Tian Can Di Que, came over, he would definitely be more energetic, but facing this gang of high-end gangs who only know how to fight in the street. Bullying.
He calmly raised his right hand to the ground aside, and after clasping his fingers, he sucked a wine glass directly from the ground into his hand.
Click.
He moved his palm slightly, and the ceramic wine glass was suddenly crushed into pieces. Looking at the Ax Gang boy who had crossed the threshold and was about to rush in front of him, he waved his right hand with gravity, and the air exploded instantly!
Ceramic fragments that had been broken into pieces the size of soybeans flew out like bullets!
Before these guys with axes could see clearly what was happening, their arms had been penetrated by porcelain shards, and their legs were weak and they all collapsed on the ground, wailing.
"Hurry up and call your elders and tell them about this."
Zheng Jirong dusted off the wrinkles in his clothes and said casually: "The fireworks outside just now should be a signal for them to ask for help. If nothing else, the Ax Gang will be here soon."
He turned to look at Bai Xiuzhu and said: "Although you will definitely not be afraid of them based on your family background, it is not good for girls to get involved in this kind of thing. It is better to let the adults of your family handle it."
After saying that, Zheng Jirong twisted his arm and was about to leave here and find a new restaurant to eat. The place was now dirty and messy, and there were pools of blood on the ground, which really affected his appetite for food.
Except for the rice porridge and steamed buns in the morning, this was his first main meal in this time and space. Zheng Jirong, who had always been very particular about eating, still cared about this sense of ritual.
"wait wait wait!"
Bai Xiuzhu, who was extremely shocked by the scene just now, recovered and immediately ran to Zheng Jirong with broken steps, "Sir, what is your name? Where are you from, and how can I contact you?"
Zheng Jirong wrinkled his nose in confusion, "Why do you want to contact me?"
"Forehead"
Bai Xiuzhu pursed her lips, stared at the man in front of her boldly and said, "If it weren't for you, I might have been hacked to death by him with an axe. Of course I have to thank you very much."
Zheng Jirong did not answer directly when he heard this. Instead, he pointed to the wailing Ax Gang boy on the ground and the second gang leader who had been losing more energy than in the street, "You'd better solve these things before talking."
"These are all trivial matters." Bai Xiuzhu glanced at the people on the ground with disgust, then raised her head confidently and said, "My brother is."
Then she didn't know what she thought of, rolled her eyes and changed her words: "Anyway, these things are not as serious as you think, they can be solved easily."
Hearing her words, Zheng Jirong smiled noncommittally. The sister of the chief minister of Beiyang was threatened in person with an ax by a group of gangsters, and even almost lost her life. How could this be a trivial matter?
Even if Shanghai is now the territory of the National Government, the Ax Gang will definitely be in trouble this time.
Eh?
Zheng Jirong suddenly thought of something. The power of the Ax Gang in Shanghai is not small. From what the second boss said just now, it can be seen that Huaihai Street, which is as prosperous as Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island in later generations, is the territory of their Ax Gang.
Maybe he can take advantage of this opportunity
After thinking about it, he shook his head secretly and interrupted his previous thoughts. According to the development of the plot, when A Xing is found, people from both worlds can use their powers to help them return.
He can't stay in this world for too long. There is no point in doing so many things. Hong Kong Island in another time and space is his base camp.
"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet."
Hearing the slightly coquettish urging in his ear, Zheng Jirong glanced sideways at Bai Xiuzhu, turned around and left the hotel without looking back.
"If we are destined to meet again, I will tell you."
After saying that, he quickly disappeared from Bai Xiuzhu's sight.
Seeing this, Bai Xiuzhu stamped her feet angrily. In the past, other men would surround her in Peking, but she didn't expect that this time she would meet a guy who didn't even want to tell her his name.
I don’t even know my name, I don’t know where I live, and I won’t be able to find him even if I try to look for him in the future.
But just when she opened her mouth in displeasure and was about to find a new phone number to tell her brother what happened here, a clerk in the store suddenly said: "Miss, I seem to know what this gentleman's name is."
"Um?!"
When Bai Xiuzhu heard this, she immediately turned to look at him and asked, "Really? How did you know?"
The waiter nodded and affirmed: "When he ordered roast duck just now, he asked us to write on the duck first and then roast it."
Bai Xiuzhu opened her eyes wide and said, "What word?"
"Zheng!"
"."
Half an hour later, we were inside a time-honored local restaurant a few streets away.
In the private room, Zheng Jirong, who was full of wine and food, put down his chopsticks, picked up a cup of strong tea and rinsed his mouth.
It is worth mentioning that although this place was a few decades ago, the food is not unpalatable. There is definitely a gap compared with Manhanlou, but compared with those big restaurants on Hong Kong Island, the taste is not much different.
After lighting a cigarette, Zheng Jirong was about to get up and leave to find Ah Xing at Ding Li's house when a bell-like tinkling sound suddenly sounded in his mind!
Holy shit!
Zheng Jirong's footsteps stopped for a moment, and the system that had been dormant for several months finally came to life again.
He sat back in his chair and focused his attention into his mind.
At this time, several rows of blue text flashed out on the system panel.
"Mission: Shanghai Giants!"
"Content: Unify all gang forces in Shanghai within three months."
"Reward: Unknown."
this.
It’s true that the shorter the description, the more difficult the task.
He has been running Hong Kong Island for two years, and he has not yet been able to unify all the gangs and societies, let alone Shanghai, which is countless times larger than Hong Kong Island.
And what is different from Hong Kong Island is that in this era, almost every gang that can make a name for itself in Shanghai has military or official backers.
Speaking of which, today's Shanghai can be said to be the most complex place in Asia with the most complicated political situation. Almost all major countries in the world have spies here.
Want to make Shanghai beach look all the same?
It has to be within three months?
These are all messy tasks.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jirong frowned and blew out a breath of smoke. He now found that his system seemed a bit abnormal.
The tasks given out were either to ask him to kill people to seize the throne, or to seize territory and become the big brother.
Isn’t this system specially designed for Hi-Bang people?
Fortunately, the tasks issued by the system only have content and rewards, and there is never any mention of punishment after failure.
In this way, even if the Shanghai Beach task cannot be completed, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
