"The Rat King won't enter so soon. He and Wei Yanwu have been in a stalemate."
"Speaking of which, they should be friends for life. Wei Yangwu was able to let the Rat King take charge of the Lower City, which shows the trust between the two, but..."
Ji Luo bit the tendon and pulled out the skewer with force. He was hissing from the spiciness of the chili pepper, but he never stopped.
"Why? They're both playing charades with each other, hiding everything."
"It's probably because of a conflict of ideas. They are all big bosses, and even if they don't want to, they can't ignore the opinions of their subordinates."
"Heh~ Does this count as being coerced?"
"No, it's a difference in their positions. One sits in a magnificent building all day long, while the other roams the streets, surrounded by peasants."
Jiu probably knew more about the inside story than anyone else. She took a string of roasted peppers and ate them slowly and elegantly.
"They all represent a class and a group of interests. In fact, they have already restrained their subordinates to prevent the situation from becoming bloody."
“But they couldn’t tie it up.”
Ji Luo threw the iron skewer on the ground and looked out the window. Behind those magnificent buildings was a dirty and poor swamp.
"People in the upper city look down on the lower city. They may not consider these people as human beings. They just want them to die. Capital is really a human-eating thing."
"Ji Luo, do you know that there have been countless real estate companies that wanted to move into the downtown area and develop it?"
"Hahaha! They...are also thinking the same as us?"
Ji Luo was sweating from the spiciness, but he was still eating the skewers and laughing heartily.
"Everyone knows that the land in the upper city is very valuable. All the money was earned by Wei Yanwu who sold the land. How much money would it cost to build all the high-rise buildings in the upper city in such a large area of the lower city? I am jealous."
"Yes, that's true. Wei Yanwu said he was selling the land, but in fact he was renting it out for 70 years. His offer locked up all the money of the real estate developer, and then he could get a loan from the bank, killing two birds with one stone."
Jiu poured herself a glass of wine and handed it to her. Ji Luo smiled and clinked glasses with her, then they both drank it in one gulp, and everything was said without words.
Ji Luo admired Wei Yanwu's methods. He developed Longmen to what it is today. Longmen coins can be circulated all over the world and he has made great use of the economy.
"It's good that the house price has increased. Ordinary people can't afford to buy a house, but if you can rent it, you can make a steady income every month. It's a genius idea!"
"However, the original inhabitants of Longmen are being squeezed into the lower city area."
"That's the problem. Does Wei Yanwu care? He doesn't care at all. What he cares about is the economy and development. He has thrown people's livelihood into the dog's stomach."
"Even so, the number of people who sneaked into Longmen is still countless. They all regard this place as a paradise."
"It's just a comparison of the worst. In the whole Terra, is there any place that is suitable for human beings? It's all a fucking hell on earth!"
Ji Luo didn’t know if it was because of the spiciness, but tears were faintly glistening in his eyes. He raised his glass, clinked glasses with Jiu and drank it all, ending the topic there.
"Ji Luo, Lin Yuxia came to see you, did she talk about anything good?"
"Haha~ The Rat King's daughter is quite beautiful."
"so what?"
"So, don't think she's that beautiful."
Ji Luo ate three skewers of barbecued meat in a row viciously. His mouth was puffed up and the way he chewed looked both funny and rustic.
"Nine, you didn't see it. When I said you were the boss of the construction company, Lin Yuxia was stunned. It was so funny."
"If that happens, the Rat King will think... that I am a chess move made by Wei Yanwu."
"Why didn't the Rat King contact Wei Yanwu to talk things out?"
"If there was anything to talk about between them, they would have talked about it long ago."
Jiu was a little tipsy at this time. The girl looked at Ji Luo with a dazed look, tapping the table with the iron skewer in her hand.
"Wei Yanwu and the Rat King are both old. They have no room for repentance, so they will never admit their mistakes, and they can't...back off."
"Understood. One step back means the abyss. Either the Lower City cannot be contained and the crime will spread. Or the Upper City will take full action and cleanse the Lower City."
Ji Luo wiped his mouth with a tissue, took the whole leg of lamb next to him, cut it with a knife and started eating.
"Nine, you really can't come back this time."
"When did I say I wanted to turn back? If I could turn back, why would I do this?"
"You can turn back. You will never be unable to turn back. Always - I promise you."
Ji Luo raised his right hand, his five fingers were straight as blades. Jiu looked up, looked at Ji Luo, and suddenly smiled, and as she smiled, she started to cry.
"Ji Luo, why are you so nice? You could have been a little greedier, a little more evil, a little more mean, a little more terrifying, a little more obsessed, but you... didn't."
"Yeah! I didn't... I'm such an idiot! I could live happily if I just indulged my nature! But I guarded my humanity carefully, afraid that the tiny flame would go out."
Ji Luo raised his right hand, overlapped his index finger and thumb, and a tiny flame emerged, as if symbolizing his kindness and nobility.
"All my arrogance and pride now come from these obsessions I have held on to! I was originally a loser. Coming here, I seem to have the qualifications to succeed, but in fact I am still a country bumpkin."
"I've never met a country bumpkin like you. No, I should say that I will never meet someone like you again in my lifetime."
Jiu reached out to wipe away her tears and raised her glass. Ji Luo nodded and smiled, clinked glasses with her, and they drank the wine together.
"Nine, what you said really makes me happy. If there is no me in this world, it will not give birth to someone like me even if thousands of years pass."
Ji Luo laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He drank glass after glass and poured more wine. Jiu accompanied him in silence. The two of them had a tacit understanding and were in natural harmony.
"Ji Luo, if one day Longmen can no longer accommodate me, can I still find you?"
“Hahahaha! Jiu, remember, Longmen will never be unable to accommodate us, but we will be unable to accommodate Longmen!”
Ji Luo was really drunk. He slammed the table and looked at everyone with a fierce and arrogant look.
"Torture breeds suffering, and suffering breeds torture. This endless cycle in the mortal world will be ended by me!"
"Okay, let's go together!"
Jiu filled the cup with wine and drank it together with Ji Luo. Then the two looked at each other and laughed, as if they were laughing at themselves, but also as if they were happy to have found a fellow traveler.
Beep beep~!
Suddenly, Jiu's cell phone rang. The girl answered the call and listened to the voice on the other end. The smile on her face gradually faded and became stiff and cold.
"Ji Luo, there's a small problem at the construction company."
Chapter 95: People's hearts are like iron, and I am like a furnace
Jiu said it was a small problem, and it did sound like a small problem, but the metaphor it revealed was far from being so simple...
Jiu called Xingxiong and asked her to take the sleeping Chen home. Then Ji Luo got in Jiu's car and headed towards the downtown area.
Along the way, the two did not talk much. Jiu drove calmly, and Ji Luo sat in the back seat with his eyes closed to rest.
"Nine, I just laughed at Wei Yanwu and the Rat King, saying that they were being coerced by their subordinates, and now... this is what happened."
"This is perfect. We can solve the hidden danger in advance and avoid going astray again."
Jiu's expression was very calm. Having experienced too many events, she no longer worried about right or wrong. Some people were ignorant, so she just had to deal with them directly.
"Ji Luo, later, will you come or should I come?"
"Let me do it. If you do it, those people probably won't survive. If I do it... you can do better."
Ji Luo was already in a bad mood, and he drank a lot of wine, so he looked expressionless, but his accumulated emotions had already reached a critical point.
The driver nodded, said nothing more, put his hands on the steering wheel, slowed down and drove into the residence of Liming Construction Company...
At the same time, Yeban was in a very excited mood. She held a loaded crossbow in her hand, and the two sleeping beasts following her were also ready for battle.
"You want an explanation? What explanation do you want? Do you want me to open a hole in your brain so you can think about it carefully!"
"You want to just walk away after you hurt our brother? You keep talking about killing people, and you think we dare not?!"
The one who was talking to Yeban was a Vaifan (a two-legged flying dragon). The two horns on his head bent forward, and combined with his strong physique, he looked particularly ferocious.
Behind him, a team of three to four hundred people formed a huge semicircle. All of them had a strong aura and seemed eager to try.
At this end of the night, Wei Hao stood in front of her, and more than a hundred subordinates in charge of direct sales surrounded the two of them, and no one retreated.
"Boss Ji Luo will be here soon. He will give you the explanation you want!"
Wei Hao knew the difference in combat power between the two groups, so he tried his best to avoid the situation from getting too serious. It was not that he didn't dare to do it, but he was worried that if he got hurt in the middle of the night, he would not be able to see Ji Luo again.
The matter has come to this point and has had a very bad impact. If a fight really breaks out, there will definitely be a large number of casualties. If Jiu and Ji Luo come later, no one will be able to escape with the consequences!
Originally, Yeban came here today mainly to tell Wei Hao to obey Jiu's orders from now on.
At that time, everything was discussed and Wei Hao was just seeing her off when he happened to bump into the people who were doing the midnight recruitment and the group from the Nine Moves, who were arguing over a trivial matter.
As the argument went on, the two sides started fighting. Those who could be recruited by Jiu must be good fighters. The people on the direct sales side were quickly knocked down. The victorious party beat and cursed at the same time, and some of the dirty words completely enraged Ye Han.
Afterwards, the girl pushed Wei Hao's obstruction away and went into battle herself. In no time, she beat the man on the opposite side severely.
Then - the new group of people who had just joined were so excited that they all gathered around.
When there are too many people involved, things get really out of hand. What was originally a simple matter has become distorted through word of mouth. Now both sides are very excited and many people have taken up arms.
Compared to Wei Hao's restraint, Waifan, the new leader, wanted to fight more. He believed that the strong were respected, and he wanted to suppress Wei Hao!
"What Boss Ji Luo?! We don't know each other, so don't even think about picking sides! No one can leave here without an explanation today!"
"Oh~ Now you say you don't know me. You even toasted me when we were having dinner together before."
Ji Luo walked into the arena alone. The crowd in front of him became agitated and parted to the left and right like a flock of sheep, allowing him to walk to the front.
"Vaifan, tell me what you want to say. Today, if you don't let me leave here, I won't leave, okay?"
"Ji Luo... Boss."
"No! Don't call me boss, just explain the situation clearly."
"..."
When Vaifan saw Ji Luo, he was also shocked. He knew that this man was the boss of the Ninth Honorific Title and was definitely not an ordinary person.
But now that things have come to this, as the leader of the newcomers, if he wants to continue to make it, he must stand up and seek an explanation for this matter!
"Boss, I don't know who this Safra is. He beat someone up over a minor conflict. We are here to work for Boss Nine, to support our families!"
"Yes, I know that. Where is the person who was beaten? Bring him up."
Ji Luo's eyelids were drooped, his eyes were terribly cold, and there was no emotion in his words, as if he didn't care about anything at all.
But Ye Ban, who was not far behind Ji Luo, knew that Ji Luo was really angry and something serious had happened!
"..."
At this time in the middle of the night, he felt a little regretful that he had gone too far and directly broke the man's leg.
But the problem is, she, a Safra, is fighting a Fengti male head-on. How can she win without being ruthless?
A few minutes later, the injured person was carried up. Ji Luo took a look at his injuries and found that his left tibia was severely fractured. He would have to stay in the hospital for three months.
"Put the man underground."
Ji Luo summoned the healing holy flame and wrapped the left leg of the Fengti tribe. The people on the other side made a commotion, but were quickly stopped by Waifan who was in the lead.
Ten seconds later, Ji Luo dissipated the holy flame and stood up from the ground. The injury on the Fengti tribe's left leg had recovered. He tried to move, then stood up carefully, jumped again, and found that he was completely healed.
At this moment, Ji Luo's powerful healing ability made everyone look at him in amazement, and all kinds of thoughts came to their mind.
As the temporary leader, Vaifan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Since the injured people had been cured, he could take advantage of the situation and let the matter end here.
——They ran down to the city to work for money, and no one wanted to offend such a powerful doctor.
After all, if Ji Luo is willing to take action at the critical moment, it will save his second life!
The Fengti tribe member who was being treated has confirmed that he has recovered from his injuries. He excitedly clasped his hands together with a flattering smile on his face.
"Boss Ji Luo, thank you for your help! Thank you very much!"
"Are you...well?"
"It's all right! It's all right!"
Feng Ti hadn't noticed anything wrong in Ji Luo's tone. He nodded excitedly, thinking about how to get in touch with Ji Luo so that if something happened in the future, he could ask him for help.
"That's all right, come on - let's have a fight."
Ji Luo stood there indifferently and hooked his finger at the Fengti tribe. This abrupt turn of events not only made Fengti, who had just been cured, lose his smile, but also made Vaifan feel depressed.
"Stop dawdling, come on, I'm in a hurry..."
