Chapter 94: The Friendly Old Boss Xiao
In this quietness, the black leopard and Yuanbao opened their throats to let out a loud roar, then proudly walked back to Xiao Ping's side, standing quietly in place without jumping or shouting. Anyone could see that their movements were full of disdain, clearly not putting those two Tibetan mastiffs in their eyes at all.
But Hei Bao and Yuan Bao indeed have the capital, now others look at them with different eyes. Those who were originally close to Xiao Ping couldn't help but move back a few steps, not daring to get too close to these two fierce dogs that could kill a Tibetan Mastiff in one bite.
The Tibetan Mastiff was lying on the ground, its throat bitten out with a big hole, and fresh blood was still flowing from the wound. It was already dead beyond recall. After staring blankly at his Tibetan Mastiff for several seconds, Zhong Yuanlong suddenly let out a loud roar: "My treasure!"
Zhong Yuandragon is really heartbroken. Two Tibetan mastiffs are worth over 3 million, and they were bitten to death so easily! All along, Zhong Yuandragon has only bullied others, he has never suffered such a huge loss before. With anger burning in his eyes, Zhong Yuandragon lifted his head, his face dark and gloomy as he stared at Xiao Ping, the small eyes that looked just like his father's flashing with a fierce light, already on the verge of exploding.
However, before Zhong Yuanlong could speak, Xiao Ping had already spoken out loud: "Don't forget the conditions we agreed on earlier. Do you want to go back on your word in front of so many people? Are you going to lose face like this?"
Xiao Ping's words stunned Zhong Yuanlong, and he looked around at the crowd to find that everyone had a disdainful expression on their face. Especially those who often fought dogs with him, their eyes were filled with even more vigilance. Zhong Yuanlong knew that if he turned against Xiao Ping now, those dog fighters would never play with him again. Moreover, within three days, the whole town would know that Zhong Yuanlong had lost at fighting dogs and was being a sore loser. Zhong Yuanlong couldn't bear to be such a person, so he could only swallow this bitter humiliation for now and think of a way to get revenge later.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yuanlong gave Xiao Ping a venomous glare, then turned and left without saying another word. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to hold back from having a conflict with Xiao Ping. Two Tibetan Mastiffs had already died, and if they also lost face and credibility, it would truly be a case of losing both wife and army.
Watching Zhong Yuanlong leave with a huff, Xiao Ping just smiled coldly. Don't look at this guy's father being the village head of Xiaozhou Village, normally very arrogant, but Xiao Ping is not afraid of him. Just now, Xiao Ping used language to suppress Zhong Yuanlong, just wanting to avoid some unnecessary trouble. If Zhong Shengli and his son know their place, that's it, if they dare to come looking for trouble, with Xiao Ping's current connections, he can easily deal with them.
After Zhong Yuandragon walked away, the middle-aged man cautiously bypassed Hei Bao and Yuanbao to come to Xiao Ping's side, smiling and asking: "Boss Xiao, these two dogs are really fierce, would you like to come to our place to play?"
This intermediary also set up his own dog-fighting arena, and today's dog-fighting event was also opened by him. Occasionally, he would even lend some high-interest loans to gamblers who had lost everything, making him a model of all-around service.
However, Xiao Ping was not interested in this promising industry and simply shook his head politely: "Sorry, I raised dogs just to guard the farm. If it weren't for Zhong Yuanlong threatening to bring Tibetan mastiffs to block my door, I wouldn't have fought dogs with him."
Since Xiao Ping was unwilling, the middleman didn't force him and simply handed over the 30,000 yuan saying: "This is the prize money from the dog fight earlier, Mr. Xiao please take it."
Xiao Ping didn't take the money either, but instead smiled and asked the middleman: "Was that previous deal also done by you? You must have made a lot this time, right?"
The middleman chuckled and said: "Thanks to you, everyone bet on Zhong Yuandragon winning, this time I won 20,000 yuan!"
In this countryside, a dog fight that can win over 200,000 is not bad, no wonder the middleman is so happy. Xiao Ping hesitated for a moment, only taking back his original 10,000 yuan from the other party's hand: "I just want my own capital, since this dog fight made everyone lose so much money, then please trouble you to distribute these 20,000 yuan to the people who lost money."
Xiao Ping's voice was loud, and many people around who had lost money heard it. The crowd swept away their previous dejected appearance, and smiles reappeared on their faces. The middleman looked at Xiao Ping in surprise, and couldn't help but say with admiration: "Boss Xiao is indeed generous, two hundred thousand yuan just scattered like that."
"It's unlucky to lose money during Chinese New Year." Xiao Ping sincerely smiled: "This matter is related to me, and I absolutely cannot let everyone suffer losses."
"Good friend!" The middleman gave Xiao Ping a thumbs up, then returned the money to those who had lost their bets with the IOU. For a time, the entrance of the farm was filled with cheers and applause, everyone praising Old Xiao for being a good friend and knowing how to treat people!
In the midst of everyone's praise, Xiao Ping smiled and returned to the farm. The 200,000 yuan originally belonged to Zhong Yuanlong, so using his money to be a good person was no pressure for Xiao Ping at all. What Xiao Ping didn't know was that his actions today would soon spread throughout several surrounding villages, and everyone would know that Farm Owner Xiao was generous and righteous. Xiao Ping had only used Zhong Yuanlong's money to show off, but it earned him a great reputation in the surrounding areas. What Xiao Ping couldn't have anticipated was that this seemingly insignificant matter would plant a seed of kindness, which would help him avoid a great disaster in the not-too-distant future.
Zhong Yuanlong stormed back home, his eyes blazing with anger, and swept everything off the table to vent his frustration. Since his father became the leader of Xiaozhou Village, Zhong Yuanlong had never suffered such a great loss as he did today. This made him hate Xiao Ping so much that just getting some benefits from him was far from enough; he wanted to see Xiao Ping completely ruined to satisfy his anger.
However, Zhong Yuanlong, although he could be said to have covered the sky with one hand in Xiao Zhou Village, was still not completely out of his mind in anger, and he suppressed his anger and dialed the phone softly: "Shanzi, has there been any progress on that matter I asked you to investigate?"
The person on the other end of the phone murmured, then started talking loudly. Zhong Yuanlong listened for a while, and the anger on his face gradually turned into sinister and complacent, thanked the other party and hung up the phone.
Zhong Yuanlong thought for a few minutes, then dialed another number and said in a low voice: "Dad, I've figured out the situation at the farm. We don't have any connections in the countryside or county, that kid is just a pushover. If we want him to be obedient, he'll be obedient; if we want him to be stubborn, he'll be stubborn! This time, I want to do things cleanly and make sure that kid can never turn things around! Yes, I won't act rashly, I'll wait for you to come back and discuss it before taking action. Alright, that's settled!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yuanlong's face twisted in anger as he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Ping... this time I'm not only going to take your farm, but also your life, just you wait!"
Zhong Yuanlong is just a small village official, let alone in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, even if it's just in Suzhou city, he's just an insignificant person. Xiao Ping's connections are at least the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and at most, they are the second and third in command of the provincial government, which is not something that someone like Zhong Yuanlong can find out about.
Zhong Shengli and his son never expected that Xiao Ping, who looked like a soft persimmon, was actually someone they couldn't afford to mess with. They didn't even dare lay a hand on Xiao Ping, or else they would end up with a broken head and bleeding, and it's possible that their entire family and lives would be at stake.
