Halfway through the meal, they couldn't help but start chatting about this and that.

"Why did you become a private investigator?"

"I'm just forced to make a living. Being a private detective makes money quickly. Just like you, big boss. Last time we took a few photos, you transferred 10,000 yuan."

Tang Jun said this with a calm expression on his face.

“Nothing is easy.”

Xu Yang sighed.

Qiangzi nodded. "It's really not easy. The boss doesn't know yet. Yesterday, I followed Yang Lu to the car repair shop. It took a lot of effort to record the key footage, and in the end, the people at the car repair shop discovered me. But luckily, I ran fast, otherwise I would be in trouble if I was caught!"

After listening, Tang Jun poured Qiangzi a glass of wine and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Qiangzi."

This was not the end yet. The other brothers also patted Qiangzi on the back to comfort him and gave him a thumbs up.

Xu Yang was very puzzled when he saw this. Wasn't it just following Yang Lu to the auto repair shop? Why did it seem like a very difficult thing in the eyes of Tang Jun's brothers?

Could it be that there are man-eating monsters in that repair shop?

Thinking about it, he asked, "What's wrong? Is that garage scary?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jun and others' expressions froze. The ease they had just shown was gone, replaced by solemnity and uneasiness.

Tang Jun lowered his voice and explained, "Boss, you don't know."

"It's not the repair shop that's scary, it's the owner, Brother Lei!"

"Brother Lei?"

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes in confusion. He had never heard of this person in his previous life. "Who is this Brother Lei?"

"Brother Lei is the biggest local tyrant. He runs a car repair shop and also runs an underground boxing ring. That's not the key point. The key point is that his family has a little money, so he started lending money. He specifically lends money to those who are in urgent need of money, forcing them to sign IOUs with high interest rates. The interest is compounded, and those people definitely can't pay it back. And if they can't pay it back, Brother Lei will send them to the underground boxing ring to fight life and death..."

Tang Jun's voice became lower and lower, and finally he shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Xu Yang, who had been in prison for six years, more than 2,100 days and nights, and had been receiving moral education every waking moment, frowned. He was naturally unhappy to hear such things that violated the moral bottom line.

But before he could open his mouth, a loud noise of a beer bottle exploding suddenly came from the distance.

"Bam—"

"You old fool, are you blind? How dare you scratch my car? Do you know how much my car is worth? Even if I sell your old bones, you can't afford it!"

The vicious shouting and cursing was particularly abrupt among the laughter and conversation. Many people in the food stall were attracted by the noise and stretched their necks to watch.

I saw a brand new car parked on the roadside outside the food stall. Several men in fancy clothes were surrounding an old scavenger. The man in the lead had dyed red hair. At this moment, he was pushing the old man and cursing at him.

The sack full of plastic bottles of the old scavenger was kicked to the ground, and the crushed plastic bottles were scattered everywhere.

The old man pleaded in a low voice: "It wasn't me who scratched it, it really wasn't me who scratched it!"

Seeing this, Tang Jun raised his chin and motioned Xu Yang to look over: "Boss, that red-haired man is one of Brother Lei's men. In our area, no one dares to stop Red-haired man from doing anything."

Xu Yang frowned even more.

At this moment, a woman suddenly rushed out of the food stall.

The woman was in her early twenties, at the most beautiful age, but she was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and an apron, and she had not yet taken off the yellow plastic gloves she used to wash dishes.

But what caught people's eyes was that this woman had deep eyebrows and a straight nose, and she looked like a mixed-race with exquisite beauty.

Even though her clothes were simple, everyone's eyes would subconsciously focus on her face after taking a look at her.

"This girl's name is Ah Hua, she's the old man's granddaughter."

Tang Jun whispered.

Ah Hua pushed Hongmao aside and stood in front of the old man: "Stop it, your car has been scratched for a long time, it wasn't my grandfather who did it at all. How many times do you want us to tell you before you let us go?"

When he saw Ah Hua coming out, the smile on Hongmao's face became even more rampant.

He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Ah Hua, I'm not trying to embarrass you. If you just sign this IOU, we won't pursue the matter of your grandfather scratching the car. And he can use the money to buy medicine for his heart disease. It's like killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?"

"Get lost! Don't try to trick me into signing!"

Under the dim street lights, Ah Hua had tears in her eyes, and her delicate face looked even more pitiful.

Tang Jun shook his head and explained to Xu Yang, "Ahua's brother is a promising boxer. Brother Lei has his eye on her brother, so he's been trying every possible way to trick Ahua or the old man with heart disease into signing an IOU. As long as they can't pay back the money, Brother Lei will take her brother to boxing. It's said that if he wins a fight, Brother Lei can earn 500,000!"

As he spoke, Xu Yang saw Ah Hua tear up the IOU.

The red-haired man was so angry that he jumped up and kicked the old man!

"Snapped--"

Xu Yang couldn't bear to watch it anymore and was about to stand up.

Seeing this, Tang Jun quickly pushed him back to his seat: "Boss! Forget it, we can't help!"

Unless Ahua's family leaves Jianghai City forever, Brother Lei will never let them go.

Xu Yang paused and said with difficulty: "I was just thinking that my father also has a heart disease."

In his previous life, Xu Haixing died early. If Xu Haixing hadn't died, and he had been framed by Gao Furong and thrown into prison, given the vicious nature of Gao Furong and Zhao Kang, Xu Haixing's future life would probably be no better than that of the old man picking up trash in front of him...

Hearing this, Tang Jun felt a little sorry.

His eyes rolled and he said, "I got it. I have an idea. Boss, just watch here for now."

As he spoke, Tang Jun left his seat and went into the corner next to the food stall. The next second, a sharp siren sounded from the corner.

Tang Jun came out and shouted, "Oh no! The police are coming! The police are coming!"

When the red-haired man and his group heard the sirens, they were shocked. Without even having time to think about whether it was true or not, they opened the car door and jumped in. Without hesitation, they started the car and ran away with their tails between their legs.

The car drove a long way away before Tang Jun picked up his speakers from the corner.

Seeing this, Xu Yang silently gave a thumbs up.

Tang Jun smiled embarrassedly: "How can we go out without some equipment?"

After being disturbed by the red-haired guy, Xu Yang lost his appetite, paid the bill and left the food stall.

"Brother Lei's people have been harassing Ah Hua's family. Is it because she has a very powerful brother?"

When leaving, Xu Yang asked again.

Tang Jun nodded: "Yes, but we don't know much about her brother's situation. Boss, it's getting late, you'd better go back quickly."

Xu Yang nodded, started the car and returned to Xu Haixing's villa.

In fact, he planned to help Ah Hua not only because Ah Hua’s grandfather also had a heart disease, but also because he remembered someone, or a cellmate.

During the worst period of bullying in prison, the only person who spoke up for him was Ah Shu.
