After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Brother Long strode forward with his shirt open on his chest, revealing a green dragon on his chest, hence the name Brother Long.

Brother Long is a big and bald man, and he looks quite oppressive when he stands in front of me.

He first looked Lu An up and down, then said, "My name is Zeng Xiaobing. The brothers on the street give me face and call me Brother Long. Does this friend want to help them settle the matter?"

"Pingshi" is a social term that means to help someone settle the matter.

The gangsters were all very surprised. When had they seen Brother Long being so easy to talk to? Could it be that the man in front of them was really an official from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?

In fact, Brother Long was not sure about Lu An’s identity, but he felt that the aura displayed by Lu An was very unusual, even more powerful than the police chief he had met.

Even if such a person is not from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Brother Long was able to make a name for himself. He was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight. He knew very well that people like him should not easily cause trouble when facing the masters in the yamen. Otherwise, if he really pissed off the officials, they would arrest you without any ambiguity.

"We don't want to bully him, but he owes us 50,000 yuan. As long as the debt is settled, we will leave immediately. Otherwise, it is only natural to pay back debts. Even if you are the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, you cannot default on your debts, right?" said Brother Long.

"I have no money."

Lu An almost choked Brother Long with his words, and then he said, "But I can find a way to help them get the money to pay you back."

The hooligans all laughed, and said sarcastically, "You said you can get money if you want? Why should we trust you?"

"Do you really think you are some great God of Wealth?"

"Don't think we don't know the salary in the government office. The highest is only a little over 100 yuan. Do you know how much that guy owes us? 50,000 yuan. You'll have to work for 10 years to pay it back, including the principal and interest!"

Brother Long didn't say anything, he just stood there with his arms folded, looking at Lu An with disdain, as if he thought that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in front of him was just so-so. Did he rely on his public status to scare people?

"I really can't prove anything, but will it help if you humiliate and kill him here?"

Lu An emphasized: "Your purpose is to get money. At least I can help him find a way to get money here. Otherwise, it will be useless even if you beat him to death."

Brother Long thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case: "Okay, then I'll give you a week..."

Lu An interrupted Brother Long: "One week is not enough, at least one month."

"Don't push your luck. You're shameless, right?"

A yellow-haired man jumped out roaring.

On the contrary, Brother Long was very happy: "Okay, I'll give you a month. I'll keep an eye on you during this month. Don't even think about running away. If you still can't pay by then, don't blame me for being rude!"

After making his threat, Brother Long waved his hand, turned around, and walked away with his brothers.

Lu An exhaled, then turned around to see if Mu Chenggang was okay.

"Gangzi is fine, just some superficial injuries. Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done." Mu Qinghong said to Lu An while choking up.

Mu Chenggang looked at Mu Qinghong and then at Lu An, but he frowned and said to Lu An rudely: "Okay, there is nothing for you to do, you can leave."

Lu An was surprised.

Mu Qinghong also scolded Mu Chenggang for being ignorant: "Gangzi, what are you talking about? He is Lu An, and he just helped us. Why do you have this attitude?"

Mu Chenggang rolled his eyes and said, "What's my attitude? Do I want him to help me?"

Mu Chenggang looked at Lu An fiercely: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. She is my biological sister. Don't be so delusional. Get out of here!"

Mu Qinghong now understood what Mu Chenggang's attitude meant.

"Gangzi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Mu Qinghong said coquettishly, her pretty face flushed with shame, looking so charming and beautiful.

Mu Qinghong helped Mu Chenggang up. Lu An originally wanted to help, but Mu Chenggang glared at him fiercely.

Lu An shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect you to be so protective of Sister Hong."

"She is my biological sister!" said Mu Chenggang.

Mu Qinghong also helped to explain, saying that Mu Chenggang was the only relative in the family who helped her. No matter when she got married or when she killed her new husband and was kicked out of the house as a jinx, Mu Chenggang was the only one who stood by her side.

Lu An, who was reborn, actually knew all these things. He also knew that Mu Chenggang helped because he lost money reselling pagers, not because he had done anything bad. Otherwise, he would definitely advise Mu Qinghong to stay as far away from him as possible.

Mu Chenggang felt ashamed: "Sister, why are you telling him this?"

Mu Qinghong went to fetch water and a towel to wash Mu Chenggang's face.

Lu An dragged a chair over and sat down: "I know you are worried that I am approaching Sister Hong with bad intentions. It doesn't matter. I also support you in doing this. After all, you are doing this to protect Sister Hong."

Then Lu An changed the subject: "But you saw it just now. Because I stood up for you, Brother Long also hates me. Unless I can help you pay off your debt, he will not let me go. I have a decent job and I don't want to lose my job because of this."

"So whether you like it or not, we are now in the same boat."

Mu Chenggang knew that what Lu An said was true, but he still said stubbornly: "I didn't ask you for help. When the price of the pager goes up, I will sell it and I will have the money to pay it back. I won't let you down!"

"Really? But if the price of the BB machine doesn't go up, and may even continue to plummet and fall to only a hundred or a few dozen yuan, what will you do?" Lu An asked.

"impossible!"

Mu Chenggang said, "That's a pager, how could it be reduced to only a hundred or a few dozen yuan? Do you know what a pager is? If you don't know anything, don't talk nonsense here!"

A BB machine is also called a pager or a calling machine. Simply put, it is a machine that can receive and display short messages.

Even twenty years later, text messages will still be an irreplaceable mobile communication function, not to mention in this era. Pagers, which can contact people anytime and anywhere, are very popular among the people.

At first, it was just big bosses busy with various businesses, but later it became a trend, and many young people felt fashionable wearing a pager around their waist.

In the beginning, the price of pagers was indeed high, and one pager could often sell for five or six thousand yuan.

It was because Mu Chenggang saw that pager machines were making such huge profits that he thought of borrowing money at high interest rates to trade in a batch of them and make a fortune.

However, with the rise of domestic pager manufacturers and market competition from mobile phones, the price of pager machines suddenly plummeted in just one or two years.

In Lu An’s memory of his previous life, no one would want a pager even if it was given away for free, let alone cost dozens of dollars.

Therefore, Mu Chenggang smashed it in his hands...
