Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 387 Lei Luo

"Brother Jiu, let me pay half of the one million and we can split it equally. I mean, it would be nice to meet you."

Because Lou Bancheng had just picked up more than 10 million for free, he did not feel any psychological burden about the 1 million. He was just worried whether Inspector Lu would give them face.

"Okay, I'll also give you 500,000. I'll go contact them now and see if I can get in touch with them."

Seeing that Lou Bancheng agreed, Zhuang Shijiu saw no reason to back down. The situation wouldn't be any worse than it was now.

After Zhuang Shijiu finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

"Xiao Laizi, why do I feel like you really want to meet this Inspector Lu?"

Lou Bancheng said.

"Ah? Really? Well, I do want to meet him, hehe. I've been in this port city for two days, and I haven't seen any big shots yet!"

He Lai said awkwardly.

"You, you, don't think it's simple. None of these people in high positions are simple."

Lou Bancheng said that after all, he often dealt with officials in Sijiu City, and they were all greedy people.

"Okay, Uncle Lou."

……

The two chatted for a while, ate, walked around the factory, and then went back.

Not long after we arrived at the villa, Zhuang Shijiu came over and said that he had greeted us and they would go together now.

He Lai was extremely happy, he finally got to meet his childhood idol! The 500 million Chinese detective!

Several people prepared the money. Zhuang Shijiu took out 500,000 in cash, Lou Bancheng took out a HSBC promissory note of 500,000, and even He Lai secretly prepared a jade ring.

Soon the car stopped outside a manor, which was obviously several levels higher than Lou Bancheng's villa.

He Lai also saw a fat man waiting for them.

He Lai guessed that this was Zhu Youzai, the legendary right-hand man of Lei Luo! He has always been loyal to Lei Luo and never left him! Lei Luo also thinks highly of him.

"Mr. Zeng, this is my brother Lou Zhenhua, and his nephew Wu Qiang."

Zhuang Shijiu introduced. Lou Bancheng's original name was Lou Ergou. After he became rich, he thought the name was too rustic, so he changed his name to Lou Zhenhua!

"Well, remember, after you go in, behave yourself. I will introduce you to them."

Lard boy warned.

"I understand, Brother Zeng." He Lai replied with a smile.

Zhuyouzai glanced at He Lai and said nothing. After all, it was the first time that Zhuyouzai heard others call him brother. People usually called him Zhuyouzai.

Since He Lai now looked like he was in his twenties, he didn't take it seriously.

Soon, Zhuyouzi brought He Lai and the other two into the big villa.

At this time, Lei Luo was gambling with a group of big guys.

"Brother Le." Zhuyouzai shouted.

"Lard boy, come here quickly, come here quickly, damn it, these people teamed up to bully me, come here to boost my morale."

Lei Luo turned around and saw that it was Zhuyouzai, and quickly asked him to come over.

Seeing this, Zhuyouzi asked Helai and the other two to stand still, and then he walked up to Lei Luo and said a few words. Lei Luo looked at Helai and the other two, stopped laughing, put his hands in his front pockets, and walked over with Zhuyouzi.

It was also the first time for He Lai to see Lei Luo. He was not as polite and gentlemanly as played by Andy Lau in the movie; nor was he as ruthless as played by Tony Leung Ka Fai. He was extremely arrogant and looked like he didn't take anyone seriously.

He Lai felt that Zeng Jiang's Lei Lao Hu was more in line with the Lei Luo in front of him. He exuded a sense of pride and arrogance. Although he was also arrogant and domineering, he still greeted people with a smile.

"Let me introduce you, Brother Le, the Chief Chinese Detective." Zhuyouzai stood in the middle and introduced He Lai and the others.

"Hello, Brother Le." Zhuang Shijiu stretched out his hand.

"Yeah." Lei Luo didn't make things difficult for Zhuang Shijiu. He stretched out his hand and shook it gently.

Lou Bancheng couldn't speak Cantonese, so he could only say one sentence in Mandarin: "Hello."

"Hmm? A mainlander?" Lei Luo looked at Lou Bancheng, shook his hand, and asked.

"Brother Le, he just came from the mainland and hasn't learned Cantonese yet. Sorry!"

Zhuang Shijiu said with a humble attitude.

"It's okay, it's okay, sit down." Lei Luo waved his hand and asked them to sit down and chat.

"I heard from Zhuyouzi that you are doing legitimate business, so why did you come to me? Are you in trouble and need me to help you?"

Lei Luo lit a cigar, shook it, and spoke slowly.

"No, my brother just came from the mainland and wanted to come visit. This is the gift we prepared."

Zhuang Shijiu put the box on the coffee table, and Lou Bancheng also put the check on it.

Brother Le looked at the two of them, then picked up the check and took a look. It was five hundred thousand. He then opened the box and saw that there should be five hundred thousand as well.

Lei Luo was instantly delighted. He didn't expect Lou Bancheng and the other man to be so generous that they directly gave him one million.

After all, in 59, one million was still a lot of money, and he had just taken the position of Chief Chinese Detective, so there wasn't much money to be made.

"Well, since you two are so kind to me, I will accept it. But what do you need me to do for you?"

"Brother Le, hello, I am their nephew, Wu Qiang. I admire you very much. This time I specially followed my uncles to pay homage to you, and by the way, I also brought you a gift. Please accept it."

He Lai took over the conversation without waiting for Zhuang Shijiu to answer, and handed over the small box containing the jade ring.

"Oh? Let me see. Wow, it's a jade ring. This thing is nice. Little guy, you are very good." Lei Luo opened it and saw that it was a jade ring. He immediately put it on happily and took a look at it.

"Lard boy, does it look good?"

"Of course it looks good, it goes well with the music, bro." Lard complimented immediately.

Lei Luo looked at it for a long time before speaking: "I've accepted the money and put on the things. If you need any help, just tell me. I'll do my best!"

After Lei Luo finished speaking, he crossed his legs, smoked a cigar, and waited for He Lai and the others to respond.

"Brother Le, the truth is, my two uncles own several factories in Hong Kong City, but they have not been doing well, so I recently came up with some reform plans to run the factories well.

I'm thinking that if I become big in the future, Brother Le can help tell the outside world that these factories are under your protection."

He Lai didn't act pretentiously and told them the purpose of their visit.

"Hey, where is your factory?"

"It's over there in Xiaoqiwan. Now there are only a few small factories, but I believe we will become bigger in the future."

He Lai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay! Let me protect you, no problem, but since I've contributed, I definitely want a share. Although you're doing legitimate business, I can charge a little less, 10%! If you agree, we can continue the discussion."

Lei Luo stretched out a finger and stated his conditions.

"Okay, but you have to give us a few years. To be honest, Brother Le, my uncle's factories don't make much money now, but I believe they will make a lot of money in a few years."

After seeing Zhuang Shijiu and Lou Bancheng nod, He Lai continued.

"Okay, then I'll give you three years, and this one million will be used for these three years, how about that?"

Lei Luo also responded generously.

"Thank you, Brother Le." He Lai bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Lard, spread the word that I, Lei Luo, will protect these people from now on."

"Got it, Brother Le." Zhuyouzai agreed with a smile.

"Little brother, you are very good. I see that your two uncles both respect you."

Lei Luo also noticed the clue and said.

"Since my uncles are so kind to me, I will naturally do more." He Lai replied.

"Okay, now that we've finished our business, how about some fun?" Lei Luo clapped his hands on his thighs, stood up and said.

"Okay." He Lai guessed that he was going to gamble a few times, so he agreed reluctantly.

"Okay, little brother, let's go and see if you can make me prosperous today." Lei Luo put his hand on He Lai's shoulder and walked towards the gambling table.

Zhuang Shijiu and Lou Bancheng smiled bitterly, wondering why they were betting again. They hoped He Lai would not offend those underworld bosses.

He Lai followed Lei Luo to the gambling table.

"Brother Le, you brought a pretty boy with you. Are you still the banker?" said a middle-aged man.

He Lai looked at them and saw that they all had smiles on their faces, but He Lai could feel the murderous look on everyone's face. They must be big shots in the underworld.

"Agui, you are so anxious to give me money? Okay, I'll sit down!" Lei Luo agreed directly and turned to ask Xiang Helai.

"Little brother, do you know blackjack?"

"I know a little."

"Okay, then you help me deal the cards. Is that okay with you guys?" Lei Luo waved his hand.

"Brother Le, whatever you say is fine!" another middle-aged man also spoke.

Lei Luo also introduced four people to He Lai, namely Ah Gui, Ah Sen, Ah Hao, and Teochew Porridge.

When He Lai heard this, he realized that they were all big guys, and he started calling them "brother" one after another.

And so, the gambling began again.
