Chapter 82 The Bosses' After-the-Fact Gunfire

  Li Xiaoteng silently watched Zhao Xun's back get farther and farther away until he couldn't see it anymore. Only then did he withdraw his gaze. Suddenly, he found Jiang Di standing beside him staring at him. Li Xiaoteng was startled and took two steps back.

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Jiang Di with dissatisfaction and asked strangely, "Hero! Why are you so close to me?" Jiang Di smiled and asked eerily, "Is that chick your girlfriend?"

  Kong Zhen curiously asked on Weibo: "Teng Ge, how many good sisters do you have?"

  Li Xiaoteng said with a gloomy face: "I'm telling you to pay attention to the serious matters, okay?! Why are you digging into my private life for no reason?!"

  Zhao Pàngzi also chimed in with a joke: "You're performing the ultimate 'no gap' act! I really didn't expect that Zhao Xun would be Boss's cousin! This world is really small!"

  Li Xiaoteng really didn't want to waste words with these people. He casually patted Jiang Di's shoulder and thanked him sincerely: "Brother, you've helped me twice! Each time is more fierce than the last! How can I thank you?"

  Jiang Di glanced at Li Xiaoteng and smiled, saying: "Want to thank me? It's not easy! Take a 100,000 yuan shot! No need to say anything else!" Li Xiaoteng heard this and his smiling face suddenly froze.

  Li Xiaoteng was about to speak, when Jiang Di casually clenched his fist and lightly punched Li Xiaoteng's shoulder. He then burst out laughing: "I'm just kidding! You have to agree to buy me a drink!"

  Li Xiaoteng thought for a moment and then burst out laughing.

  Kong Zhen and Zhao Pengzi also smiled and looked at Jiang Di, and they all expressed that they would definitely accompany Jiang Di to have fun tonight.

  Just as they were chatting, Zhao, the manager of a restaurant, came running over excitedly and stood in front of Li Xiaoteng and others. He patted Li Xiaoteng's shoulder excitedly and said: "Xiaoteng, you guys are simply amazing! You actually turned the tables on the tyrant! Today, I'll come to mooch off you for a meal! We must eat and drink well together, after that, I'll be ready to hug your thigh, Li boss!"

  As he spoke, Zhao Lao casually slapped a palm on Li Xiaoteng's wound. Suddenly, Li Xiaoteng's head was covered in cold sweat, but he still smiled and said: "See what you mean, Mr. Zhao! We should help each other out when we have something to do. You sit back down first, I'll go inside with the others to tidy up our clothes. Look at us, we're all covered in mud like we just rolled around in it! We really need to clean up!"

  Just as they were talking, the owner of the shop next door, Xue, and several other bosses from nearby restaurants walked over together. Mr. Xue said to Li Xiaoteng, "Boss Li, you've finally given us an opportunity to vent our anger! That Yu guy is like a decoration, always pretending to help but never actually doing anything!"

  "Every time Young Master's little brother comes, we entertain him with good food and drink, and when he leaves, we give him protection fees with both hands. And yet, he still comes to bother us three times two times!"

  The other bosses on the side also started complaining. Rushing to Li Xiaoteng, he said: "Yes, if it wasn't for Boss Li giving us a chance to vent our anger today! Otherwise, who knows when we can get rid of that guy! Next time those tyrants come, I'll fight with them too!"

  At this time, among the bosses, a forty-year-old fat sister suddenly said: "Li boss, and this one..." pointing at Jiang Di and saying: "I don't even know what the young man's name is?" Jiang Di hurriedly replied: "Sister, my name is Jiang Di! Don't be polite!"

  "Thanks to you again today! I was watching from afar as you used the fire extinguisher to smash them, it was so satisfying! I wanted to rush up and smash those people myself!" As she spoke, she casually pulled out a band-aid, some medicine, and other items from her plastic bag and handed them to Li Xiaoteng. "I won't be able to help with anything else. Luckily, we have medicine for treating external injuries in the store! You guys hurry up and apply it! We've all discussed it and decided that tonight, we'll all eat here at your place, to show our support and celebrate your victory!"

  Xue boss seemed to be Li Xiaoteng's old friend, and asked with concern: "Li boss, uh! No! Xiaoteng, do you need me to help? I'll go inside and help you apply the medicine!"

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Xue's enthusiasm and got goosebumps all over. He felt like he wasn't very familiar with Xue after all!

  "Hurry up and wave your hand to say: 'No need, Mr. Xue, you're being polite! Everyone sit down first. We'll go in and tidy up first! Come out and accompany everyone later!"

  He hastily pulled Zhao Baozi and others into the Dongxing Restaurant together.

  Dongxing Restaurant was still as deserted as ever. Several waiters were gathered in front of the bar, enthusiastically discussing the thrilling scene from earlier. Suddenly, they saw the main characters walking in together. Instantly, they excitedly surrounded them.

  Zhang Dake grasped Li Xiaoteng's hand and said, "Teng Ge, you're really powerful this time! Too awesome! I'm so envious that I wish I could fight side by side with you!"

  Zhang Dake pulled Li Xiaoteng to scold him fiercely. At this time, two female waitresses suddenly surrounded Jiang Di and asked in a doting manner: "Handsome guy! Are you brothers with Boss Li? You were too fierce just now! How did you think of using the fire extinguisher as a weapon?"

  Several girls asked Jiang Di, who suddenly became red-faced and embarrassed.

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Jiang Di, who hadn't even turned red from the fight earlier, but now his neck was flushed. He burst out laughing and grabbed Jiang Di's arm, walking inside with him. As they walked, he said to a few female waitresses, "This is my good brother, I won't let you girls eat him up!"

  Zhao Huanzi, who was following behind, suddenly became a bit flustered and shouted at several girls: "Nothing's wrong! I'm not afraid of eating, ask for harassment!"

  Several girls exclaimed in unison and burst into giggles.

  Li Xiaoteng was walking into the house when he saw Manager Dong standing awkwardly in the middle of the hallway, walking towards him. Manager Dong said as he walked: "Xiaoteng! I'm really sorry, just now I didn't know why, but my legs were shaking and I couldn't speak for a while! I'm really sorry!"

  Li Xiaoteng smiled at Manager Dong, just about to say something, but Zhao Baozi said discontentedly: "The thing happened right in front of your store. We're brothers from the same village! You were the first to run away when the fight started, faster than a rabbit! How come I didn't notice that your legs were trembling at that time?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Dong's face turned even redder. Moreover, the five-finger marks on his face from earlier became clearer, just like Li Mochou's blood palm print.

  Li Xiaoteng, unhappy, shouted at Zhao Baozi: "How can you talk like that! What's wrong with Manager Dong not helping? If it wasn't for Manager Dong just now helping to block a slap, who knows whose mouth would be suffering now!"

  He immediately turned his head and said to Manager Dong: "We are all brothers, it's nothing! It's okay if we go out and sit down at night!"

  He immediately comforted Manager Dong with a couple of words. He pulled his brothers and rushed towards the locker room. Manager Dong watched Li Xiaoteng and others rush to the locker room, took out a cigarette, leaned against the wall and smoked silently.

  They entered the locker room, and several brothers found two broken towels to casually wipe off the dust on their bodies and shoe prints on their clothes. Li Xiaoteng took out medicine again and first helped Kong Zhen, who was injured the most seriously, clean up a bit.

  After finishing, Kong Zhen said to his brother: "You're not seriously injured, you're just too out of practice. You were knocked down with just a few moves, you really need to train properly!"

  He said that, and saw Jiang Di quickly spraying some medicine on himself, then swiftly applying some Yunnan Baiyao. Li Xiaoteng looked at Jiang Di's movements and unconsciously said: "Damn, brother! A battlefield doctor is probably just this capable!"

  Jiang Diteng lent a hand, helping Zhao Baozi apply medicine while saying to Li Xiaoteng, "As special forces, self-medication and wilderness survival are basic subjects! These are too elementary for us!" After finishing speaking, he chuckled softly twice. His laughter grew louder and more complacent, his tone becoming increasingly arrogant!

  Li Xiaoteng smiled and looked at Jiang Di, tidied up the medical bag, saw that his brothers had all packed their gear, then rushed to Kong Zhen and said: "Kong Zhen, why don't I give you a day off today? Go back and rest..."

  Kong Zhen hastily waved his hand and said: "How can that be, the market hasn't opened yet, besides, this is also called a minor injury not leaving the battlefield!"

  Li Xiaoteng asked doubtfully, "Are you really okay?" Kong Zhen hastily patted his chest and said, "I'm fine! I'm still waiting to have a big drink with Brother Jiang tonight! Nothing's wrong!"

  Li Xiaoteng nodded and walked out with everyone else.

  As soon as Li Xiaoteng pushed open the door of Dongxing Restaurant, he heard someone shouting loudly: "Boss Li has come out!"

  Li Xiaoteng's mind was momentarily confused. But the next second, a thunderous applause erupted! He saw that almost all the tables at his night market stall were packed with people!

  In the night market, big and small bosses almost all came. Everyone warmly applauded Li Xiaoteng! It was like a national leader inspecting a place. Suddenly, Li Xiaoteng's strong little heart accelerated and jumped wildly!

  The applause gradually subsided. Li Xiaoteng and Jiang Di stood on the steps, looking at the bosses' faces filled with happy smiles. Li Xiaoteng suddenly realized in his heart that he had done something so great and delightful. And Jiang Di also felt everyone's kind gaze. Suddenly, the depressed feeling of being idle at home after retirement disappeared...

  Xue boss waved his hand and said loudly, "Li boss, today I represent all the bosses to thank you... thank you for eliminating a tyrant from our night market!"

  Li Xiaoteng held Jiang Di with one hand and Zhao Huzi with the other, looking at Kong Zhen and said: "Thank you for your kindness! The credit actually goes to these brothers of mine! We were also forced into a corner and had no choice but to fight back. You're all being too polite!"

  Only then did the fat sister say: "Li boss, we were originally too weak! If it weren't for you, we would still be bullied by them! Today I ordered my masters in the store to prepare some good wine and dishes, they will all be brought over soon! We at De Sheng Fang invite everyone to dinner!" Zhao boss immediately shouted: "We have a restaurant that has also prepared noodles and snacks!" Xue boss loudly invited people to drink: "Our Yi Pin Lou has prepared roasted duck!"

  Li Xiaoteng looked at these bosses, and quietly sighed. In his heart, he thought: I've been bullied, people are numb and indifferent. If I get released, power is indeed boundless!

  "Hey, there's one more update this afternoon, the IPO and private placement will be updated this afternoon, please stay tuned. Last but not least, let's follow each other!"
