You were put undercover, and you've risen to become the boss.
Chapter 8 Hot Potato
"Ah Hui, this is the rule when meeting Third Master: take out your phone!"
Chen Hui glanced at the four men and immediately judged that they were all desperate criminals. Without saying anything, he handed over his phone.
It was impossible to tip them off. Besides Erpang, Qiu Ba, Maoyan, and he were also searched by the gunmen.
Four AKs and this is just the guy in front of the gate. Sure enough, this Third Master is the real scourge of Yangcheng. He's obviously no ordinary person.
"Go inside!"
A gunman pushed open the large iron gate of the factory.
Erpang went inside first, whispering something in Chen Hui's ear.
"Xiao Hui, don't act recklessly when you see Third Master. Don't say anything out of line; Third Master isn't so easy to talk to!"
Chen Hui nodded indifferently as always.
Upon entering the factory, one finds red bricks all around, without even a cement plaster, and the floor is made of cement.
The factory was divided into several areas, all separated by wooden boards.
A bald man in his fifties sat on a leather sofa in the center, with a coffee table in front of him, on which were various tea sets, cigars and red wine.
There were six gunmen scattered around, all carrying AKs.
The man had a horrifying scar between his eyebrows, and the gold necklace around his neck was unusually conspicuous.
His deep, sharp eyes revealed a ferocious and ruthless look, a gaze that could chill many to the bone.
"Erpang's here!"
The middle-aged man picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Come over and have some tea!"
Erpang quickly forced a smile and went to greet them respectfully.
"Third Master!"
Third Master waved his hand with a smile, stood up, and his gaze fell directly on the three people with cat eyes.
"Third Master!"
"Third Master!"
"Third Master!"
Cat's Eye and Qiu Ba quickly greeted him, and Chen Hui followed suit, offering a respectful greeting in return.
Third Master's gaze swept over Cat's Eye and Qiu Ba, then settled on Chen Hui, and he slowly walked towards him.
Qiu Ba, Cat's Eye, and Erpang were all a little nervous and confused, staring intently at the two of them.
"Second brother, is this the new henchman you mentioned to me?"
"Third Master, yes, his name is Chen Hui!"
Chen Hui looked at the approaching Third Master without any sign of nervousness. Instead, he met the Third Master's gaze without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Erpang, Qiu Ba, and Maoyan all became nervous for him.
Third Master walked up to him, a strange glint flashing in his deep eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing. Chen Hui, still with an arrogant and unruly demeanor, met his gaze.
"Haha... Not bad, second brother, just as you said, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, showing no fear whatsoever!"
Hearing this, Erpang and the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded.
"Third Master, we were in the same situation back then, but we suffered quite a bit of losses. Ah Hui, on the other hand, never suffered any losses."
Third Master reached out and patted Chen Hui on the shoulder, carefully examining him.
"It's really nice, especially the scent on your body; it makes me feel very comfortable!"
Do I smell?
"Third Master, I just took a bath yesterday!"
Third Master looked at him with a half-smile.
"The smell I'm referring to is the smell of police."
"oh!"
"The police have planted many people around me over the years. I can tell if someone has a problem just by sensing them. You're not bad. Work hard for the second-in-command, and if you perform well, you can work for me!"
Upon hearing this, Erpang quickly replied.
"Hurry up and thank Third Master!"
Chen Hui rolled his eyes and said.
"Thank you, Third Master!"
Third Master returned to his seat and poured Second Fatty a cup of tea.
"Sigh, I'm getting old. Looking at these young people reminds me of our time."
"Third Master, you're still going strong for your age."
Third Master glanced at him.
"I'm old but still vigorous, though my courage is dwindling. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to these mountains. If I were ten years younger, I would have fought them to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Erpang frowned slightly.
"Third Master, is there still no news about those people?"
Third Master's gaze was deep and cold, flashing with resentment as he spoke.
"The Red Scorpion gang is extremely well-hidden. They operate separately, only contacting each other when they need to coordinate their actions. It's incredibly difficult to uncover them all!"
"I've received reliable information that Red Scorpion has sent a lot more men over. Damn it, it's just a little bit of their goods, is it really worth this life-or-death struggle with me?"
Erpang suddenly changed the subject.
"Second brother, I called you here today because there's something I need you to do."
Erpang was taken aback and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"If there's anything you need, Third Master, just give us a call."
Third Master said with a solemn expression.
"No! I must personally instruct you on this matter; you must be extremely careful!"
"Third Master, what exactly is the matter?"
"A shipment is coming from the Northern Shan State. My business with Red Scorpion has been delayed for quite some time, and now Red Scorpion's people are looking for me everywhere. It's not convenient for me to go out. If I go out to receive this shipment and Red Scorpion's people cause trouble, then we'll be in big trouble!"
"So you have to go and pick up this shipment for me!"
Upon hearing this, Erpang's expression immediately darkened, and he felt extremely bitter. This was a hot potato.
"Third Master, as you know, I've never received any goods before. I have no experience in this area, especially with such a large quantity of goods from the Northern Shan State. I have no experience, and if I mess it up, I won't be able to explain myself!"
Over the years, although some flour has leaked out of Erpang's place, he basically doesn't manage this business; it's all taken over and distributed by Sanye's men.
Third Master stared at him with piercing eyes.
"Second brother, you know the situation now. I'm being watched by the Red Scorpion. I have to entrust this matter to someone I trust completely, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Compared to others, the person I trust the most is you!"
Erpang said subconsciously.
"The butcher and the leopard, they should be fine too!"
"No, I don't trust Butcher and Leopard. Second Brother, haven't you noticed that they're not as loyal to me as they used to be? Otherwise, Leopard wouldn't have let that Gao Erlin steal your territory!"
"I'm the one who assigns the venues. Leopard's dirty tricks are just a test of me. Now that I'm entangled with Red Scorpion and have lost quite a few men, they think they have a chance!"
"If we really let them pick up this shipment, will I even have any goods left?"
"Second brother, I can only trust you with this matter. Just this once, after I've dealt with Red Scorpion, I won't let you do it again!"
Erpang felt incredibly bitter inside. He was very clear about his own situation. Over the years, he had always been law-abiding and obedient to Third Master's arrangements, doing whatever he was told to do.
If he goes to pick up the goods, the butcher and Leopard will definitely suspect that Third Master gave him the supply channel. These two are very ambitious, and he might lose his life one day.
