Chapter 1844 Zhao Jun: There will definitely be a chance to avenge this!
Suddenly, one of the two people opposite them knelt down, which startled Zhao Jun and the others.
After the secret auction ended and the money and goods were exchanged, the major ginseng gangs resumed their fawning and flattering attitude towards the ginseng dealers.
When Song Da, Zhang Yuejin, and Xu Qianli followed Zhao Jun to the dormitory, the leaders and managers of each guild also came along.
Even though there were twenty or thirty people in total, they weren't enough to scare someone into kneeling down.
Just then, Zhao Jinhui pushed past Song Da, came to Zhao Jun's side, and whispered in Zhao Jun's ear, "This guy is the one we captured alive that night..."
"Give birth to what?" Zhao Jun was taken aback. He didn't have that in his vocabulary, so he couldn't immediately understand what Zhao Jinhui was talking about.
"Didn't someone rob us that day?" Zhao Jinhui said again, "After that, Uncle San chased away a bunch of people, leaving one for us to catch."
"Ah..." Hearing Zhao Jinhui's words, Zhao Jun remembered. But when he turned his head, he saw the two people stumbling and running out of the yard.
The two of them ran away, leaving Zhao Jun and the others completely bewildered.
Until Xu Qianli jumped up and shouted, "We can't let them get away! They're the ones who kidnapped me today!"
These days, there's no need to hesitate when it comes to doing good and punishing evil. When Xu Qianli shouted that the two people who didn't seem normal were bad guys, everyone present spontaneously chased after them towards the gate.
After running ten meters or so, Li Baoyu left the others behind, while Zhao Jinhui moved in front of them.
When the crowd reached the courtyard, they saw Li Baoyu standing in the middle of the road, his arms outstretched, blocking their way.
"What's wrong, Baoyu?" Zhao Jun asked loudly, only to see Li Baoyu say with a serious face, "Brother, don't pursue a desperate enemy!"
After saying this, Li Baoyu pointed to the dust rising in the distance and continued to say to Zhao Jun, "There's dust rising up there; there might be bandits setting an ambush. We can't fall into their trap."
As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, a "whoosh" sound was heard, followed by the honking of a car horn. Then, the crowd vaguely saw a large Jiefang truck speeding past through the dust.
"Young man, what are you saying?" Wu Baoguo's voice rang out from behind. He then stepped forward, pointed to the disappearing rear of the truck, and said, "That was a truck hauling soil!"
Li Baoyu awkwardly stepped aside, while the group continued their pursuit. However, for some unknown reason, a series of dump trucks carrying soil passed by, stopping Zhao Jun and his companions.
At this moment, Li Ruhai's voice rang out: "Brother, don't pursue a cornered enemy!"
Hearing Li Ruhai's words, many people present frowned. Zhang Yuejin looked at Li Baoyu and then at Li Ruhai, thinking to himself, "Everyone says the Zhao family gang is powerful, so why are they all saying this?"
But then, Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun, "Brother, let's go back and get our weapons, and we can chase after them later."
"Oh my god!" The group then realized that none of them had any weapons; they had all chased after the enemy unarmed.
If things go wrong, they could all be tied up.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly retreated.
As they approached the gate of the compound, they encountered Zhao Jinhui, who was panting heavily.
This fat man did bring weapons; three semi-automatic pistols were slung over each of his shoulders, and he held a pair of Type 54 pistols in his fat hands.
Even if Zhao Jinhui is a slow runner, he shouldn't be this slow. He ran halfway before realizing that his group didn't have any weapons, so he ran back to the dormitory to grab them.
But at his speed, by the time he reached the battlefield, the fighting would already be over.
As everyone walked back, it wasn't cold anymore, and the weather was quite nice today, so instead of going inside, they found benches to sit on in the open space between the vegetable garden and the dormitory.
After sitting down, Wu Baoguo opened two packs of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone.
Xu Qianli lit a cigarette with a worried expression. After taking a puff, he said, "These people dare to come into the city. They're too arrogant!"
"Old Xu," Zhang Yuejin asked Xu Qianli, "Are you sure it was this group that robbed you?"
"Yes." Xu Qianli nodded and said, "It's them."
Fearing that no one would believe him, Xu Qianli pointed to his two companions and said, "After the three of us were tricked out of the car, more than twenty people came out and surrounded us. Then, some of them even climbed into our car to try to steal it!"
“Yes!” Xu Qianli said, and one of his men chimed in, “Yes, there was a squinty-eyed guy on the truck, the one who just came with the basket!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuejin asked Zhao Jun, "Chief Zhao, I just heard from your...fat brother, what's going on? You've dealt with those guys who robbed Boss Xu, haven't you?"
"What kind of dealings do you have with them?" Zhao Jun shook his head with a smile and said, "We went to Hebei three times, and they robbed us three times on the way."
"Oh dear!" Hearing Zhao Jun say that, Zhang Yuejin tentatively asked, "Then there must have been quite a few losses, right?"
"No, not at all." Zhao Jun smiled and continued, "They tried to rob us three times, but failed each time."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuejin hurriedly asked, "What happened, Chief Zhao? Tell us about it."
"Hehe, there's not much to say." Zhao Jun laughed, "The first time, they tried to smash our car windows with stones, I raised my hand and shot the stones to pieces, which scared them away."
Zhao Jun spoke casually, but to everyone present, it was like a thunderbolt. The other side threw a stone, and he shattered it with a single shot—what kind of marksmanship was that?
As everyone was surprised, Zhao Jun continued, "The second time, my brothers tried to match their martial arts secrets with them, but they couldn't match them and then they gave up."
Zhao Jun's words were concise and calm, without much embellishment, which made Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu, Xie Chen, and Zhao Jinhui very regretful.
The four regretted that they had been so busy bragging to their fellow ginseng guild members about hunting in the mountains these past two days that they had forgotten to mention the thrilling experiences they had had on their trading routes.
What was originally a very interesting story became rather dull after Zhao Jun's explanation. If it were him, he could easily go on for half an hour without rambling on and on.
What they didn't know was that Zhao Jun's words gave everyone a sense of profound mystery.
Zhang Yuejin and the others thought to themselves, "The Zhao family gang can outwit the bandits, but the bandits have never been able to outwit them. What kind of people are the Zhao family gang?"
At this moment, Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "Let them block me twice. I'll be careful the third time. My third uncle led the way, and that's it... That's all."
"The Third Uncle?" Zhang Yuejin raised an eyebrow. He had just arrived this morning and had never heard anyone talk about the legend of the Third Uncle in Shulan.
Seeing Zhang Yuejin's blank expression, Wu Baoguo whispered in his ear, "That's an elder of Chief Zhao's family. They say he's incredibly fierce; he can kill someone in one battle..."
At this point, Wu Baoguo pursed his lips and gestured seven to Zhang Yuejin with his hand, which immediately made Zhang Yuejin's heart pound with fear.
The group sat outside until nearly seven o'clock before dispersing. Zhang Yuejin, Xu Qianli, and the three Song brothers followed Wu Baoguo into the building. On the way, Zhang Yuejin asked Wu Baoguo, "Hey Wu, what's that... Zhao the foreman like? Is he reliable?"
Zhang Yuejin wanted to leave with Zhao Jun tomorrow, but he was afraid that he would be walking into the lion's den.
At this moment, Xu Qianli, Song Da and others also came over, and then Wu Baoguo nodded and said, "Old Shao said that person is reliable, and that Zhao the foreman is very benevolent."
“Benevolence…benevolence and righteousness?” Zhang Yuejin and the others were even more confused when they heard Wu Baoguo’s words.
But after breakfast the next day, the six major ginseng gangs of Shao, Zhang, Sun, Yu, Dai, and Li, along with the three groups of ginseng dealers of Zhang, Xu, and Song, all chose to travel with Zhao Jun.
"Chief Zhao." Just as Zhao Jun was about to get into the car, Pang Zhendong rubbed his hands together and walked towards Zhao Jun with a grin.
Zhao Jun frowned, glanced at Pang Zhendong, but said nothing.
"Hehe..." Pang Zhendong, thick-skinned as ever, grinned at Zhao Jun and said, "Let's go home together, shall we? That way we can look out for each other on the way."
Zhao Jun looked Pang Zhendong up and down, but still didn't say anything.
Yesterday, when Guo Da Hu Zi provoked them, this blind man Pang helped Guo Da Hu Zi deal with Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun is a man who remembers both kindness and grudges. Pang the Blind Man has been scheming in front of him time and time again, so it's no wonder Zhao Jun wouldn't tolerate it.
Zhao Jun wanted Pang Zhendong to get lost, but he was a man of principle. There were several ginseng gangs and dealers around, and Pang Zhendong was not young anymore; Zhao Jun felt it wouldn't be right for him to verbally abuse him.
"Pang Gaoming." Zhao Jun turned and called out to Pang Gaoming. Pang Gaoming jogged over to Zhao Jun, bowed slightly, and smiled, "Team Leader Zhao."
"Take it to your father," Zhao Jun said. "After we settle our score, we'll go back to the forest area and settle things there!"
Zhao Jun's two sentences made the Pang father and son's hearts pound.
"Chief Zhao." Pang Zhendong's one eye darted around, and he called out to Zhao Jun, "I, Old Blind Man, am not human, so don't end up like me!"
That day, Hu Sanmei said that Pang Zhendong was always playing the victim. But Zhao Jun thought that the old man was just being a jerk when he had nothing to do, and then resorting to moral blackmail when he got into trouble.
The same secret formula was used last time, and it's still the same formula today.
This approach works on most people, but Zhao Jun doesn't tolerate it.
"Hehe." Zhao Jun stared at Pang Zhendong and chuckled.
Seeing Zhao Jun smile, Pang Zhendong thought his trick had succeeded. Little did he know that Li Baoyu, Zhang Yuanmin, and Xie Chen, who knew Zhao Jun best, had already silently lit a candle for Pang Zhendong in their hearts.
"Chief Wu!" At this moment, Zhao Jun raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wu Baoguo and Shen Qiushan, saying, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble these past few days. If you have the chance to visit us another day, please let me know in advance."
"Hey, hehe..." Wu Baoguo clasped his hands in response and laughed, "Alright, Chief Zhao. I'll call you before the big meeting in October."
"Okay!" Zhao Jun replied with a smile, then looked at his "good brother" from his past life, Shen Qiushan, and said with a smile, "Shen, you're hunting wolves over there, do you need me to go?"
"No need yet, Chief Zhao." Thinking that he could bring in an expert, Shen Qiushan waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Let's discuss it when I get back. What I'm thinking is... I'm thinking you're quite busy, so I'll try not to trouble you."
"Hehe..." Zhao Jun smiled with narrowed eyes, his laughter carrying an eerie quality. Li Baoyu, Zhang Yuanmin, and Xie Chen, who were standing nearby, didn't know how Shen Qiushan had offended Zhao Jun, but they silently lit a candle for him in their hearts.
Shen Qiushan was still unaware of the seriousness of the problem. At this moment, he was still exchanging pleasantries with Zhao Jun, saying, "Chief Zhao, come over to our house again when you have the chance. I will definitely treat you well then."
At this point, Shen Qiushan smiled and waved his hand back, saying, "My sister-in-law is a great cook."
It would have been better if Shen Qiushan hadn't mentioned his wife. But the moment he did, Zhao Jun remembered how, in his past life, when he went to Shen Qiushan's house to collect a debt, Shen Qiushan's wife had scratched his face.
"Hehe..." Thinking of this, Zhao Jun nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, Chief Shen, there will definitely be an opportunity!"
