"You...you know Boss Luo Guangwei?" Guo Zhicheng was really surprised, but he didn't know what to say.
Li Wei was also bored. It was pointless to be arrogant with Guo Zhicheng; the man wasn't on his level, and winning would be humiliating. He only felt excited when he could thoroughly humiliate someone like Wu Jianguo. He'd never had such a satisfying victory before, but this time, thanks to Zhou Xuan, Li Wei had finally achieved his first truly satisfying win against Wu Jianguo.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to say anything more to you. If you know Luo Guangwei, just ask him if he wants me, Li Wei, to call you grandpa. See what his opinion is," Li Wei waved his hand and said casually. Of course, he was also putting Guo Zhicheng in a difficult position, because his tone suggested that Guo Zhicheng had some connection with Luo Guangwei.
Guo Zhicheng didn't dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly took out his phone to call Luo Guangwei.
Volume 1, Chapter 221: The Boss's Boss's Boss
"Mr. Luo, I, Guo Zhicheng, have something I'd like to discuss with you!"
Guo Zhicheng lowered his voice and spoke carefully. Luo Guangwei had a rule that no one was allowed to call him "Brother Wei" because the name sounded awkward. So all his subordinates called him Boss Luo.
"I know it's you, kid. What's up? Speak up, stop beating around the bush!" Luo Guangwei knew it was Guo Zhicheng from the caller ID, and he clearly didn't understand.
"Mr. Luo, it's like this, I've run into some trouble at a construction site in Dongcheng, and I wanted to ask you for help!" Guo Zhicheng didn't dare to speak too loudly, while also being mindful of Li Wei.
Luo Guangwei sounded impatient on the phone, saying, "Guo Zhicheng, are you getting worse as you get older? You can't even handle the small shoddy work on the construction site. Fine, I'll have A-Guang bring a few people over. Tell me clearly, what's the address?"
"That's not what I meant, Mr. Luo. I just wanted to ask you something!" Guo Zhicheng lowered his voice even further. "Mr. Luo, I wanted to ask you about Li Wei. Do you know this person?"
"Li Wei?" Luo Guangwei paused, then said, "I don't know him. How could I know any Li Wei? What do you need?"
Guo Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Luo Guangwei said he didn't know him, that was fine. He was relieved. It seemed that Li Wei was just bragging.
"You don't recognize him? Haha, Mr. Luo. My men were beaten by his men, and we're facing off right now. You should call Ah Guang over quickly, and we'll treat him the same as before afterwards," Guo Zhicheng said in a low voice with a smile. He was afraid that Li Wei and his men would run away if they heard him, and besides, they had skilled fighters like Zheng Bing and Jiang Jin, so if they fought head-on, it would be difficult to handle them.
Upon thinking of Jiang Jin and Zheng Bing, Guo Zhicheng was startled again. Then, remembering what had happened, he quickly added, "President Luo, there are two others who are also..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Guangwei suddenly shouted, "Wait, what did you say? Li Wei? Li Wei, damn it, Guo Zhicheng, you damn it!"
Suddenly, Luo Guangwei blurted out a curse, which startled Guo Zhicheng. Although Luo Guangwei wasn't exactly a refined gentleman, he rarely swore.
Before Guo Zhicheng could speak, Luo Guangwei hurriedly asked, "Guo Zhicheng, is he about twenty-five or twenty-six years old? Hmm, does he have a mole the size of a pinhead on his left eyebrow?"
Guo Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced at Li Wei. Looking closely, he noticed that Li Wei really did have a mole on his left eyebrow. He immediately whispered, "President Luo, he..." Li Wei really did have a mole on his eyebrow.
"Damn it!" Luo Guangwei cursed angrily, "Guo Zhicheng, you've gotten yourself into big trouble! Did you hit his man, or did his man hit your man? And," he added at the end, "Don't mention to them that you know me!"
Guo Zhicheng felt a chill in his heart. Luo Guangwei said he had caused a big disaster. He was both shocked and scared. Luo Guangwei was not one to say such things casually. Since he had known him, he had never heard or seen him afraid of anyone!
"It was his men who hit my men, and he asked me to make this call to you," Guo Zhicheng said with a mournful face. Luo Guangwei's words filled him with trepidation. He was afraid of angering Luo Guangwei, but he had no choice but to speak.
Luo Guangwei was truly enraged and immediately started cursing: "You son of a bitch, Guang isn't going. I don't care if you call me grandpa or ancestor, you have to ask him not to cause trouble, otherwise I'll chop off your hands and feet and throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Luo Guangwei's words were harsh, but Guo Zhicheng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and wiped it away.
Luo Guangwei continued, "Let me tell you, Li Wei's identity is beyond your imagination and reach. If he wants to get back at you, not only you, but even I would have nowhere to hide. In any case, if you know what's good for you, don't drag me into this, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Luo Guangwei said those words and then abruptly hung up the phone.
Guo Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, then his subordinate behind him whispered, "Brother Cheng, I'll call and bring some men over first, and then have A-Jie bring two guns!" Guo Zhicheng was furious and slapped him across the face, cursing, "Bring your mother away! Hurry up and carry them out."
Then Guo Zhicheng put on a smile and stepped forward. He didn't seem like he was going to make a move. Jiang Jin and Zheng Bing just kept an eye on him to prevent him from attacking Li Wei. But when he got within three or four meters, they stopped him from going any closer. Within that range, they were confident they could subdue Guo Zhicheng.
Li Wei chuckled as Guo Zhicheng approached. Just as he was about to speak, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw "Luo Guangwei" on the screen. It was truly a case of speaking of the devil and he appears!
Li Wei thought for a moment, then pressed the answer button and the speakerphone button at the same time. Luo Guangwei's voice came through. Although the volume on the phone wasn't very loud, Guo Zhicheng could hear it clearly, as could Wang Liang, Zhu Yonghong, and the others who were still lying on the ground.
"Third Brother, I'm sorry, I knew absolutely nothing about what that bastard Guo Zhicheng did. Third Brother, you know perfectly well, and if I had known you were here, I would never have said those things to Guo Zhicheng, even if you killed me. Besides, Guo Zhicheng isn't one of my men; I only looked after him a few times because he seemed to have a sense of loyalty."
Everyone around could hear Luo Guangwei's words on the phone clearly. Guo Zhicheng's face was flushed red and pale, both from fear of provoking trouble. Luo Guangwei's use of "Third Brother" on the phone had made him very uneasy!
What kind of person could Luo Guangwei fawn over and call "Third Brother"?
Guo Zhicheng couldn't guess, but he knew that if Li Wei didn't let him off the hook, he would be in big trouble.
Li Wei chuckled and said to his phone, "Old Luo, this Guo Zhicheng hasn't really done anything wrong. Think about it, if he had done something wrong, would I still be standing here talking to you? I'd be lying down talking to you!"
"He wouldn't dare!" Luo Guangwei raised his voice considerably, making it even clearer to Guo Zhicheng and Wang Liang's group. "Third Brother, I'm coming over personally right now to see what this concrete egg dares to do to you!"
Li Wei chuckled and glanced at Guo Zhicheng and Wang Liang's group. They were all pale with fright and dared not make a sound. In the large shed, there was only heavy breathing.
"Forget it, Lao Luo, it's nothing. That Guo Zhicheng doesn't even know me. If he did, even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to cause me any trouble, right?"
Li Wei originally wanted to tell Luo Guangwei about Guo Zhicheng's insistence that he call him "Grandpa," but after thinking about it, he decided against it. If he said that, Guo Zhicheng would be finished.
Guo Zhicheng knew that Li Wei had his phone on speakerphone, so he didn't dare to speak, but just nodded at Li Wei.
Zhou Xuan sat on the bench, smiling faintly. Li Wei glanced at Zhou Xuan, then said to Luo Guangwei on the phone, "Old Luo, I'm hanging up. Let's leave it at that. I think Guo Zhicheng misunderstood. We'll talk again when we have time." Luo Guangwei quickly replied, "Okay, okay, Third Brother, just name your time, I'll find a place and make Guo Zhicheng apologize to you!"
Li Wei smiled, hung up his phone, and then said to Zhou Xuan, "Brother Xuan, what else do you mean?"
Guo Zhicheng was startled again. There was already someone with such an astonishing background as Li Wei here; could there be someone even more powerful? Even if there wasn't, Li Wei respectfully called him "Brother Xuan." Could things really be so simple?
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Li Wei, now that this matter is over, we should settle Zhang Sinian's debts!"
Zhang Sinian was relaxing on the sidelines. He had always thought he was just a middleman, and that the fight between the two sides was none of his business. He had even hoped that Zhou Xuan's side would fight against Wang Liang and Guo Zhicheng's side. If they did fight, and Zhou Xuan suffered a loss, perhaps he could join Wang Liang in getting back the 80,000 yuan they lost in that round. But now he was completely disappointed.
However, Zhou Xuan's side had the upper hand. He thought there was no problem for him because he was also on Zhou Xuan's side and had come with him. But Zhou Xuan's words about "owing debts" immediately brought him down from heaven to earth. In a flash, he remembered that he had borrowed 100,000 yuan from Zhou Xuan and the others!
Because from the very beginning, he never intended to repay the 100,000 yuan. Regardless of winning or losing, he wouldn't pay it back. Once the money was in his hands, it was a one-way street; he was a complete scoundrel, and he had done this kind of thing many times before. However, he had never been able to borrow much money in the past. So, no major conflicts arose.
He has never owed more than a thousand dollars in debt to any single person before. You wouldn't kill him over a thousand dollars, would you?
But now Zhang Sinian is also a little uneasy, because he has never borrowed money from someone like Guo Zhicheng. If he had borrowed money from someone like Guo Zhicheng, no matter how much he wanted to cheat, he would not dare to cheat someone like Guo Zhicheng. And Guo Zhicheng seems to be terrified of Li Wei. Just who is Li Wei?
Zhang Sinian was aware of Guo Zhicheng's reputation and knew about him. Even if he had a lot of courage, he wouldn't dare to offend someone like Guo Zhicheng. He didn't expect that Li Wei was even more powerful than Guo Zhicheng, and he became a little scared for a moment.
