Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran and Jiang Hao walked around Shuxiu Street several times, but they didn't see Lin Ran's family.

"Strange, did the hotel staff lie to us?" Jiang Hao put his hands in his pockets and sweat was already breaking out on his head.

"However, you don't have to worry too much." Seeing Lin Ran's anxious look, Jiang Hao comforted him, "They might have gone somewhere else to play."

"No." Lin Ran nodded resolutely, "My parents and sister are conservative people, and they will not stray too far from the hotel."

"Is it possible that he got lost?" As soon as Jiang Hao said it, he rejected the idea.

Because Shuxiu Street can almost directly see the hotel they are staying in. It is like a road sign in front of them. Just keep going in the direction of the road sign. How could they get lost.

"I'm just worried that they are in danger." Lin Ran couldn't help but remember that he was surrounded by Fang Yuan and his group in the alley just now. This is not the capital. It has not been fully developed yet. In backward and poor places, there may be some barbaric people. .

Since Lin Ran firmly believed this, Jiang Hao naturally decided to help to the end.

He took Lin Ran into a shop called "Embroidery House". This is the largest Shu embroidery shop in the area. When you come to Shu Embroidery Street, you will be the first to notice this shop.

There were many tourists coming and going in the store, but Jiang Hao led Lin Ran directly through the crowd and came to the counter.

The boss wearing a Fulu hat and Tang suit was collecting money with a smile. Business was particularly good today and he was very happy.

Originally it was another customer's turn to check out, but Jiang Hao stood in front of that customer, causing the other customer to be dissatisfied.

"What happened to you? You jumped in line?"

Jiang Hao ignored him and put his hands on the bar.

"Old Xu, I want to ask you something."

Originally, according to the rules of the store, customers who cut in line were given a warning the first time, and were kicked out of the store directly the second time. Anyway, they had no shortage of customers.

The security guard on the side saw Jiang Hao cutting in line and wanted to come up and kick him out of the line.

But I heard the boss shout: "What are you doing? Get off quickly."

"But..." They wanted to say that this was the rule in the store, but after thinking about it, they realized that the other person was the boss himself. As a security guard, what else could they say.

I can only look at the customers queuing angrily. If they do this, they may smash their own signs.

But the boss also reacted quickly and called over a clerk who was arranging goods and asked him to help him pay the bill.

And he respectfully invited Jiang Hao to the living room.

They left the counter, and the boss looked at Jiang Hao and Lin Ran with a respectful expression: "Master Jiang, who is this?"

"This is Brother Lin from the capital, my best friend." Jiang Hao said, "We don't have time to drink your tea anymore. I just want to ask you one thing. Have you seen any outsiders coming to shop today?"

"Outsiders?" The boss couldn't help but frown and smile, "Master Jiang, look at how many locals there are on this street, they are all tourists from out of town."

"Let me tell you." Lin Ran realized that Jiang Hao's expressive ability was worrying, and quickly asked the boss: "Probably this morning, a family of three came here, a man about 1.8 meters tall, with his wife and daughter, wearing trousers. Carlin’s down jacket.”

He described the morphological characteristics. After what he said, the boss did think of something.

"That girl looks a bit like you." The boss looked at Lin Ran.

Although they are a male and a female, their facial features are indeed very similar.

"Yes! When did they come here?" Lin Ran asked excitedly.

"About half an hour ago?" The boss thought for a moment, "They didn't buy anything, but at that time they heard my clerk discussing the beauty, saying that it was rare to see such a beautiful girl, and she was scolded by me, so I just noticed."

"Half an hour ago?" Lin Ran and Jiang Hao glanced at each other.

In that case, they should still be on the street, but they might have gone shopping in some store.

But most stores have only one storefront, and customers inside can be seen from the outside.

They looked all the way over and definitely didn't see Lin Ran's family!

But this information is important. It's possible that they went back the same way.

Just when Lin Ran was about to leave and continue to look for someone, Jiang Hao took the initiative and asked: "Old Xu, apart from yours, which store here is more famous?"

"You asked me about this. Apart from our store, there is no other store on this street that is more famous."

This sentence is not that he is bragging, but that they do have such strength.

Seemingly asking was in vain, Lin Ran pulled Jiang Hao to leave.

The boss added: "However, there are not many famous stores. There are many illegal stores. There are many stores selling fake and inferior products, and they specialize in killing outsiders. The most famous one is Dayong Embroidery."

They stopped and looked back at their boss.

The boss smiled and said: "Dayong is a new gangster who has recruited many local boys. When he saw that we were making money by opening a shop, he wanted to collect protection fees at first, but he found that selling Shu embroidery was more profitable, so he joined this business."

"It's just that if you go to his store, you won't be allowed to leave if you don't buy something."

Jiang Hao suddenly frowned: "Does this guy still have the law in his eyes?"

"Of course Wang has the law, so he will not be held accountable for forced buying and selling of items priced below 100 yuan."

In the early 80s, manpower was insufficient and the focus was on maintaining stability.

Even if things get serious, they often get settled.

Without further ado, they stopped chatting with the boss and went straight to Dayong Embroidery.

On the other side, Dayong took the three Lin family members to the backyard. He did not beat them, but just locked them in a dark room.

There was nothing in the room, and Dayong said proudly: "You have destroyed the goods in my store. If you don't pay, you can't leave."

"You are a shady store. I will expose you when I get out!" Lin Wanjun mustered up the courage to shout.

What responded to him was the door slamming shut.

Father Lin sat down a little dejectedly: "I'm sorry, Xiaoran is not here, I shouldn't have brought you out. I'm not familiar with the place, and I can't protect you even if I'm killed."

It wasn't that he didn't resist, but the opponent was so numerous and strong that he couldn't do anything.

Lin Wanjun started crying: "Dad, I'm sorry, if I hadn't suggested that we come out to play, we wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

"It doesn't matter." Father Lin said, "In the worst case, let's buy it first, and then call the police to resolve the matter when we go back."

When they were put into the room, they were told to ring the bell on the wall and they would come in.

As long as the money is paid, the person can be released immediately.

On the surface, it is an obvious robbery, but he will forcefully hand Shu embroidery to the customer, leaving the other party unable to argue!
