Green Fire Gang

Little Chuanzi prepared more than a hundred buckets for Little Genzi, all filled with molten gold. The workers complained a lot about this, even though the wages were high, because the job was too difficult.

The people who had been besieging the Qingshou Association dispersed, afraid of getting involved.

Not only was the syrup prepared by Little Chuanzi, but all the equipment and supplies for the battle in front of the cinema were also prepared in advance by Little Chuanzi and his workers; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Banfeng gave the order, "Ring the bell."

This is the rule for the beginning of a movie. Little Chuanzi said from the side, "Seventh Master, the rule in Black Stone City is to sound the horn."

This cinema is connected to a steam pipe from the factory next door. It is used for heating in winter and for cleaning and disinfection in other times. When the valve is opened, the steam whistle will sound. Cinemas in Black Stone Slope use whistles instead of bells.

It wasn't just the cinemas; in Black Stone Slope, families with their own boilers used them, while those without bought steam from the factory. Every household had a steam pipe.

As the whistle blew, the audience entered the theater, happily watching the movie!

With the onlookers gone, Qingshou Association retreated in a sorry state, while Little Genzi and Little Chuanzi led a group to clean up in front of the cinema.

The cinema industry has dealt a severe blow.

However, Li Banfeng still held onto the Qingshou Association's mantle, and he had no intention of letting go.

Li Banfeng returned to the factory and instructed Bai Qiusheng and others to expedite the drafting process.

The front page headlines were already written, "Qingshou Association beats 70-year-old woman in the street" and "Elders are infamous after being splashed with excrement."

Following the front-page news were various news commentaries, which meticulously analyzed the causes and consequences of the Qingshou Association's vandalism of the cinema, their street beating of an old woman, and their subsequent attack and the throwing of excrement.

This is not just one person's opinion; several writers have their own thoughts.

Some believe that the Qingshou Association) vandalized the movie theater because "Blood Spear Detective" was indecent and did not meet the Qingshou Association's moral standards.

The photos clearly show that the Qingshou Association beat an old woman in the street, and these people seem to have no morals either.

Therefore, this claim is untenable.

Another writer said that Tang Peigong, the elder of the Qingshou Association, was old and frail. He also had a legal wife and twenty-six concubines, so he was under a lot of pressure.

Now, seeing a movie like "Blood Spear Detective," where the male lead Song Chunjie sings a triumphant song, fierce and unrestrained, Tang Peigong feels uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he is burning with rage and can't suppress it, so he insists that this movie is irreconcilable with him.

This argument makes logical sense.

Another version of the story is a bit less logical, but it's a good narrative. It says that all twenty-six of Tang Peigong's concubines were obsessed with the male lead in "Blood Spear Detective." Some of them even reportedly wrote letters to the male lead. Tang Peigong suspected that he had been cuckolded, and therefore hated the movie.

This story has been adapted into a novel, mainly appearing on the third and fourth pages of newspapers. Song Chunjie, the male lead of "Blood Spear Detective," plays an important role in the story. He has just conquered his first two concubines, and the series of novels will be serialized in newspapers and magazines.

Another theory is that Tang Peigong was bribed by Ling Family Film Industry to deliberately target "Blood Spear Detective" in order to help Ling Family Film Industry eliminate its competitors. This also involves the interests of Lu Maoxian, the patriarch of the Lu Family, and others.

Various commentaries offer diverse opinions, and tonight's edition of "Night Fragrance" devoted nearly a third of its pages to the Qingshou Association.

Such a big event cannot be effectively covered by just one newspaper.

Li Banfeng had similar concerns, but in such a short time, he could only manage to run a newspaper.

Fortunately, there was another helper.

Li Banfeng called over a worker, gave him a silver dollar, and asked him to invite Zeng Wenbing of the Green Fire Gang over.

The worker was puzzled. "What do you need him for?"

Li Banfeng said, "Just tell him that we've made a lot of money on this business and we want to discuss the Bonus Money with him."

The workers were even more confused. "They're giving us Bonus Money? Didn't they already give us 20,000?"

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "I'm a generous person, so I'll give you a little more to ensure your safety."

The workers couldn't understand it, but since they had already accepted Li Banfeng's money, they could only do as he instructed.

Not long after, Zeng Wenbing arrived with a cigarette in his mouth. As soon as he entered, he kicked the workers a few times and overturned the neatly folded newspapers all over the floor.

"Damn it, now that they've made money, they've gotten too arrogant. They don't even deliver their Bonus Money to me; I have to come and collect them myself!"

Li Banfeng personally went out to greet him, "Second Master, we invited you here so we could settle accounts face-to-face, didn't we?"

Zeng Wenbing looked Li Banfeng up and down; he seemed quite different from the person he had seen yesterday.

It's different, that's all. A newspaper might exist today, but it might be gone tomorrow. He couldn't be bothered to think about these things too much.

"Forget about settling accounts, just give me the 20,000 first!"

Li Banfeng was taken aback. "Second Master, isn't twenty thousand a bit too much?"

"I came all this way in person, and you still dare to complain about having too much? Am I being too kind to you?"

Li Banfeng was taken aback and said, "Are you trying to save face? Fine, then so be it, twenty thousand."

Zeng Wenbing spat his cigarette butt on the ground, looked at Li Banfeng and said, "What the hell do you mean? Are you tired of living...?"

Snap!

Li Banfeng suddenly appeared in front of him and slapped Zeng Wenbing, knocking out one of his molars.

Zeng Wenbing's eyes were filled with dizziness as he looked at Li Banfeng: "You dare..."

Li Banfeng slapped Zeng Wenbing again, breaking his nose.

Zeng Wenbing, covering his nose, shouted to his men, "Fight him!"

His men swarmed forward, Zuo Wugang forward, grabbing one chicken in each hand and throwing them to the ground. He told the workers, "Stomp on their faces, yes, stomp on them, stomp hard with the soles of your shoes, stomp hard, and they won't move once they're stomped on."

Seeing all his subordinates trampled underfoot, Zeng Wenbing looked at Li Banfeng with a terrified expression.

Li Banfeng slapped Zeng Wenbing again, and said with a smile, "You asked for 20,000 right off the bat, that's really hard to give. I'll give you three first, and you'll have 19,997 left. We'll calculate the interest slowly. You'll have to do something for me."

Zeng Wenbing's jawbone was dislocated from the blow. Bai Qiusheng walked out of the factory and said, "Second Master Zeng, that was our Night Boss who did it. I haven't settled the score with you yet. Tell me first, how many newspapers are in your territory?"

Zeng Wenbing answered truthfully, "I have three stores, plus one magazine shop, making a total of fifteen stores under my management. Two of them may be closing down."

Zuo Wugang, holding Zeng Wenbing, said, "Come with us first, we'll go and discuss some things with those three families."

Bai Qiusheng left with Zuo Wugang. They were really discussing things. Li Banfeng didn't intend to make money from newspapers and magazines, so there was no need to make things difficult for his peers.

Upon arriving at a newspaper office, they found two writers sitting at a table, wondering what to write that evening.

There were only two people in the newspaper office. They wrote the articles, printed the newspapers, and delivered them. They could sell two or three hundred copies of the newspapers every day, barely making enough to make ends meet.

When they saw Zuo Wugang, the two of them were stunned for a long time, wondering what this big, dark-skinned man did.

Zuo Wugang placed the person in his hand in front of the two men, who shuddered in fright when they saw the mangled body.

One of the writers, with better eyesight, looked for a while and finally recognized him. "Is this Second Master Zeng?"

Zuo Wugang nodded. "You understand now, right?"

The two writers shook their heads repeatedly; they couldn't understand it.

What does this mean?

From now on, this land will no longer be under Zeng Wenbing's jurisdiction?

From now on, will this big, dark guy be in charge of the Bonus Money?

Bai Qiusheng quickly stepped forward to explain, "Gentlemen, we're colleagues. We're from the Ye Lai Xiang newspaper. We're here to discuss whether we can publish a news story tomorrow."

"What news?"

Bai Qiusheng showed them the news about the night-blooming jasmine, and the two writers didn't dare to speak up easily.

Issuing a news article isn't a big deal; most news articles are copied anyway. But the key point is that it involves the Qingshou Association).

Spreading rumors about the Qingshou Association will bring a lot of trouble.

Bai Qiusheng had worked in this industry before and knew their concerns. "Brothers, this news is true."

We're not letting you work for free; we'll pay you. Thirty silver dollars a day for each article published!

If anything goes wrong, you two just run to our destination, we'll take responsibility!

Thirty dollars a day!

The two brothers couldn't even earn thirty silver dollars a month.

The two brothers glanced at Zeng Wenbing, Zuo Wugang grabbed Zeng Wenbing and slapped him across the face. "I'm asking you a question!"

Zeng Wenbing nodded. "Okay..."

These guys are really ruthless; they managed to beat Zeng Wenbing up like this.

They came with sincerity and even offered money, just to do this small thing; there's no reason not to agree.

The two brothers agreed on the spot, Zuo Wugang took Zeng Wenbing to the next store.

The next shop was taking photos for a magazine. Zuo Wugang dragged the girl inside, scaring her away.

Zuo Wugang slapped Zeng Wenbing across the face. "Speak!"

Zeng Wenbing stammered and cried out, "Print newspapers!"

What newspaper should we print?

Bai Qiusheng stepped forward and explained, "There's something I need to trouble you all with..."

After visiting all three newspaper offices, Bai Qiusheng asked Zeng Wenbing, "Is your boss here? Come sit in your office."

Zeng Wenbing remained silent.

Bai Qiusheng slapped him. "You're not going to talk, are you?"

Zeng Wenbing remained silent.

Bai Qiusheng looked at Zuo Wugang: "Master Zuo, I don't have enough strength."

Zuo Wugang raised his hand, Zeng Wenbing spoke up, "The boss is in the main hall. I'll take you there."

Zuo Wugang grabbed Zeng Wenbing and said, "Let's go find Seventh Master first."

Bai Qiusheng said, "Master Zuo, this is a small matter, no need to trouble Seventh Master, we'll take care of it ourselves."

"No, Seventh Master gave instructions that we must tell him about going to the branch."

Zuo Wugang is not good at making decisions. Regardless of whether a matter is difficult or easy, he only listens to Li Qi and Ma Wu's orders.

Zeng Wenbing led the way, and Li Banfeng and the others arrived at the Green Fire Gang's headquarters.

The Green Fire Gang wasn't even a third-rate gang in Pro State; its headquarters were small, and it was essentially a factory.

Zuo Wugang was about to go inside, Li Banfeng stopped him and told him to wait at the door.

There was something at the doorway that Zuo Wugang couldn't see, but Li Banfeng could see it very clearly.

This gang is called the Green Fire Gang. Li Banfeng had already guessed that the Gang Leader must be a Nightmare Cultivator.

As expected, there were two Ghost Servant standing guard at the entrance. Li Banfeng walked into the factory, and the two Ghost Servant followed behind him.

The factory's front yard was overgrown with weeds, and the abandoned equipment was so rusted that it was unrecognizable.

Although the gang is small, it should have some resources and shouldn't be living in such a dilapidated place.

But Li Banfeng Dao Affinity.

This factory is filled with yin energy, and many ghosts linger nearby, making it a suitable place for those who cultivate with Nightmare Cultivator.

Reaching a secluded spot in the factory, Li Banfeng suddenly pulled out the pendulum, wounded two Ghost Servant, and sent them into his Portable Abode.

The Wife tasted it, exhaling steam as she said, "Hey, husband, today's dishes aren't very fresh, and the presentation is a bit off."

This one sentence sums up the identity of the Gang Leader.

The food wasn't fresh, which proved that it had been kept as Ghost Servant for a long time.

The fact that the Ghost Servant is still in such poor condition proves that the Gang Leader's cultivation level is limited.

Li Banfeng strode towards the factory building, but two thugs standing guard at the entrance stopped Li Banfeng, saying, "What are you doing here!"

Li Banfeng politely asked, "Is your husband here?"

A young thug shoved Li Banfeng, saying, "I asked you what you do for a living?"

The other older thug remained silent.

Ghost Servant at the door; the fact that this person was able to walk in proves that he is no ordinary person.

Li Banfeng glanced at the young thug, swung his sickle, and slit his throat.

The older thug shuddered, lowered his head, and said, "I'll take you to the boss."

PS: Now that we've made our move, we need to teach Qingshou Association a lesson. The second battle will be against them!
