The long-haired man was about to explode in anger, but he couldn't go out, so the task of taking revenge fell on me. The long-haired man gave me an address.
As long as I found Brother Gou, the truth of my cousin's death would come to light. Soon, I arrived at the police station's lobby and got into Mr. Qian's car. Then, I showed him the address.
Mr. Qian trusted me a lot, so he didn't ask anything and set off. Ten minutes later, we arrived at the destination. It was a rather old neighborhood. I told Mr. Qian to wait in the car while I hurried upstairs. The door to his house was still open. Coincidentally, there were two hoodlums tying up a pretty little girl. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her mouth was taped shut. Her clothes were also torn in a few places, exposing a large area of her snow-white skin. She looked indescribably pitiful.
"Put her down!" I shouted and blocked their way.
The two hoodlums were obviously stunned. They stared at me with disdain and couldn't help but shout.
"Bastard, why are you pretending to be a righteous person?"
"Yeah, get lost, or else I'll teach you a lesson."
I raised my fist and punched their faces without hesitation. Immediately, a series of screams echoed in the corridor. I didn't show any mercy to these shameless people. One of them had his nose crooked, and the other wasn't any better. Half of his face was swollen.
The commotion also alerted the people in the house. A young man walked out quickly. He had a pointy mouth and cheeks, and his eyes were slightly sunken. He looked like he had been squeezed dry by a woman.
"You're Brother Gou?" I asked coldly.
He was slightly stunned and couldn't help but mock me. "You know I'm Brother Gou, yet you still hit my lackeys. You're probably a mouse licking a cat, looking for excitement!"
I didn't want to waste time with him. I grabbed his neck and lifted him up. Immediately, Brother Gou's legs left the ground, and he kept struggling. His two lackeys weren't stupid. They put down the little girl and charged at me.
I gave them two more slaps. The two of them lost their balance and rolled down the stairs like a ball.
"Ugh …" Brother Gou's face turned green when he saw my forceful methods.
"Bro, we don't have any grudges. Why are you looking for trouble with me? Do you need money?
Give me a number, "he said with difficulty.
"No, I just want to ask you how my cousin, Zhuang Dongliang, died," I said slowly.
"Ah, he, he was in a car accident." Gouzi was stunned at first, and then he hurried to explain, but his eyes showed that he was guilty.
"Weren't you the mastermind of that car accident?" I went straight to the point.
Brother Gou didn't want to admit it. I tightened my grip. Brother Gou blushed and found it hard to breathe. No matter how hard he struggled, it didn't work.
"If you don't want to die, then tell me honestly. If you doubt my courage, I don't mind giving it a try with your life." I gradually increased my strength. The feeling of death slowly approaching him made him feel hopeless.
Shortly after, Brother Gou couldn't stand it anymore. He told me the truth. He had planned the car accident, and he wanted to deal with my cousin because he had overheard the conversation between Brother Gou and Luo Yan.
Brother Gou specialized in lending money. However, it wasn't easy to do business these days, so he followed Luo Yan and seduced men everywhere. Once they took the bait, he would tempt them to gamble. If they didn't want to gamble, Luo Yan would cut them off. As for my cousin, he was the perfect prey. He didn't need to show his face, and he could get some small profits. When my cousin lost money, he would ask him to borrow money from the loan sharks.
Brother Gou seemed to be telling the truth, but I could see that he was hiding something. I picked up the fruit knife on the table and directly cut his thigh. Blood gushed out. Brother Gou was so anxious that he cried.
"It seems I accidentally cut your artery. If you don't behave, you'll bleed to death."
I shrugged as if I didn't care. To deal with ruthless people like him, we should use more ruthless methods. People like him had done a lot of wicked things. Today, I would give him an eye for an eye and enforce justice on behalf of the heavens.
After one or two minutes, Brother Gou's face paled. He panicked and revealed more inside information. It turned out that the places where Luo Yan took my cousin to gamble were run by some of his old friends. They would split the money my cousin lost in half. I was enraged.
It wasn't gambling at all. It was a scam. No wonder my cousin couldn't close his eyes when he died. He even visited my wife and me in our dreams. He said that he had been cheated of one or two million renminbi. Other people would be cheated, but at least they could play with Luo Yan. My cousin, on the other hand, was suffering. Although he was lustful, his body wasn't strong enough.
"Call your old friends here. Tell them how much money my cousin has cheated. They will pay them back."
I pondered and made a decision. I had given my parents fifty thousand renminbi last time, so I only had one hundred thousand left. Speaking of which, I still owed Tu Fangfang one million and six hundred thousand renminbi. I should pay her back as soon as possible so that she wouldn't make a fuss about it.
I would save the rest of the money first. With my current status, if I asked Qian Duoduo for millions of renminbi, he wouldn't bat an eye. However, I wasn't a greedy person. As the saying goes, a gentleman should make money in a proper way. My parents had taught me since I was a child.
Moreover, I wouldn't feel at ease if I used the ill-gotten money. Unlike the reward Chief Feng had given me, the Blood Wolf Hall would soon become one of the top gangs in Yuncheng with my fame.
"Hey, brother, I advise you to give up on this idea. I can take out all the money I've earned from your cousin, but my old friends are all big shots in Yuncheng. They didn't lose much money. If you ask them to take out the money, isn't it the same as snatching food from a tiger's mouth and ruining their reputation?
Think about it, if this matter is spread out, who would dare to join us in the future? "Gouzi frowned and said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, I don't care who those big shots are. Anyway, since they cheated my cousin of his money, they have to pay back every cent. Otherwise, I'll pull the teeth out of a tiger's mouth, and they won't get anything."
I shook my head resolutely. I believed that my cousin would be very happy to see this scene in the afterlife. After all, he had trusted Luo Yan so much. Not only did he lose all his money, but he was also killed by Luo Yan.
Now that I thought about it, I had mixed feelings. At that time, my cousin was like a demon, worrying about money every day. He always looked tired. It turned out that he was under great pressure. Not only had he cheated my sister-in-law of her private money, but he had also tried to get my uncle's coffin. He wanted to make up for it. I guess he didn't realize it until he died.
"Good, good, good. You like to show off, right? Fine, I'll call all the big shots here. Don't be so scared that you wet your pants later." Gouzi was stunned for a moment, then he sneered. It seemed that he was more than happy to do that.
