Although Lin Chenfeng couldn't hear these discussions, he could guess what would happen after he left. If nothing unexpected happened, his every move in the teahouse would spread throughout the entire Central Street in less than half an hour.
This was the effect he wanted because he wanted to establish his might in Lin Family Village.
Establishing prestige?
That's right! This was the plan he had come up with on the way here. He wanted to use this matter to send a message to the people of Lin Family Village: He, Lin Chenfeng, was not a kind person!
He had no choice. He had always wanted to maintain a refined image in the eyes of the villagers, but now that there was a temporary appointment, if he continued to pretend to be refined, his position as the assistant to the village director might be a decoration in the future.
Of course, this was not what he wanted to see, so he had to change the perception of others as soon as possible. However, how to change it was a very technical problem.
Although he had martial arts, he was not stupid enough to fight with others to establish his authority, because it was not in line with his future identity as the assistant of the village director, nor would it achieve the effect he wanted.
That was why he had put on such a show to scare the tiger. He wanted others to be afraid of him, but they could not figure out his background. He believed that after this move, when he went out on the streets again, others would definitely look at him with a little suspicion. Those gangsters in society would not dare to have a direct conflict with him.
This was the effect he wanted. The best thing he could do now was to use his troops to attack the scheming villagers, then attack the friendly villagers, then attack the soldiers, and finally attack the city. What he needed to do now was not to have a head-on conflict with anyone in the village, but to form a potential pressure on everyone. This way, his words in the village would echo in the future.
Because in the countryside, where the law was relatively loose, in addition to the power of money, the most effective weapon was the fist. As long as your fist was big enough, you had enough say in this place. This was also the reason why hooligans like Lin Fei could do well on the streets.
Right now, Lin Chenfeng wanted to let others know that his fist was big enough. He should have more say in this place. This was his goal today.
However, Lin Chenlei had suffered because he had become the pitiful monkey in Lin Chenfeng's hands when he killed the chicken to scare the monkey. Ever since he had left the teahouse, he had been following behind with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.
"Does your face still hurt?" Lin Chenlei was feeling uneasy when he suddenly heard Lin Chenfeng, who was walking in front, turn around and ask.
"What? No, it doesn't hurt anymore." Lin Chenlei stammered. After experiencing the scene just now, he already had a hidden sense of fear towards Lin Chenfeng, so he was not speaking fluently now.
"Chen Lei, don't blame me for giving you face. I'm really angry.”Lin Chenfeng sighed.
"I know." Lin Chenlei lowered his head and said. At this moment, he realized that his warm brother had returned, so he felt warm in his heart.
"This isn't a good thing. Why did you fall in?”Lin Chenfeng deliberately slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Lin Chenlei. Then, he slowly asked.
"Brother, it's not that I like it. I have no choice.”Lin Chenlei was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Hmm?" Lin Chenfeng was stunned." What do you mean? Did someone force you?"
" I didn't force you. I was just careless." Lin Chenlei hesitated for a moment before saying," I was already trapped from the start. After that, I had to fight."”
"Tell me, how did you get involved?”When Lin Chenfeng heard him say this, he felt that there seemed to be a problem, so he quickly asked.
" In fact, I only occasionally went to the club to play small mahjong," Lin Chenlei recounted." But last December, they said that they were short of one, so they asked me to play at the last minute. I felt itchy at that time, so I tried a few rounds.”
"You lost?" Lin Chenfeng asked.
" No." Lin Chenlei shook his head and said," I won more than 800 yuan that time.”
"Is he addicted to winning and thinks it's easy to earn money?”Lin Chenfeng glanced at him.
" Not really." Lin Chenlei shook his head." But after that time, I wasn't so against it. Although I don't take the initiative to find people to gamble, if there's a table that needs someone, I'll go as soon as they call.”
"Is this the reason why you fell for it?”Lin Chenfeng frowned and asked.
" No," Lin Chenlei said with a sad face," I really fell into it in April this year. At that time, a few strangers came to Lin Yi's restaurant, saying that they were here to collect mountain products, so a few old gamblers in the village discussed about slaughtering sheep.”
"And the result?" Lin Chenfeng glanced at him and said," Instead, you let others take advantage of you?”
"Brother, how did you know?" Lin Chenlei was shocked.
"Is there a need to say that?" Lin Chenfeng sneered," For something like this, if you want to take other people's money, then other people are also trying to take your money. So I think these people are most likely here to make a nest, right?”
" We thought so too, but we didn't have any evidence." Lin Chenlei looked at him and said carefully," Then they calculated that in a week, those people had taken away more than 90,000 yuan.”
"Oh? There are so many?" Lin Chenfeng frowned. This was no longer an ordinary bet, but a rather vile one.
" That's right," Lin Chenlei quickly said." It's said that Lin Yi's share alone is more than 6,000.”
"Have those people been gambling in Lin Yi's teahouse since they came?”Lin Chenfeng asked.
" Mm." Lin Chenlei nodded." Because Lin Yi's teahouse has guest rooms. Usually, when outsiders come, they stay at his place.”
" Oh." Lin Chenfeng nodded thoughtfully and then changed the topic." What about you? How did you get involved?
"I…I wanted to try my luck, so I also played a few rounds.”Lin Chenlei didn't dare to look up at him. He only lowered his head and mumbled.
"How many matches?" Lin Chenfeng sneered." You've become like this after a few rounds? Tell me honestly, how much money did you lose at that time?”
"11,000." Lin Chenlei quickly glanced at him and said bitterly.
"Ah?" Although Lin Chenfeng was mentally prepared, he was still shocked." How did you lose so much?”
One had to know that 10,000 yuan was definitely not a small number for a rural person, not to mention that this money was given to others for nothing.
" I don't know," Lin Chenlei said with a sad face," Actually, I was still winning at the beginning, but after fighting and fighting, I don't know why I lost, and I lost so much.”
"But where did you get so much money?”Lin Chenfeng frowned and asked," I heard from Dad that you only took a total of three thousand yuan from home.”
"Actually, I only had a little more than a thousand yuan on me at that time. The rest was borrowed.”Lin Chenlei lowered his head and said.
"Who lent it to you?" Lin Chenfeng asked angrily," Who dares to lend you so much money?”
" I didn't borrow it all at once." Lin Chenlei looked at him and stammered," I borrowed it in 500 or 1,000, but when I calculated it later, I had so much.”
"From whom?" Lin Chenfeng stared at him and asked.
"Lin Yi." Lin Chenlei lowered his head and said.
"How dare he pay you?" Lin Chenfeng was stunned." Is he not afraid that you will renege on your promise?”
" He…" Lin Chenlei hesitated for a moment before saying," Our tea leaves are sold to his factory every year.”
"Oh." Lin Chenfeng nodded and did not say anything for a long time. He only looked at the mountains in the distance with a thoughtful expression.
" Brother..." Lin Chenlei couldn't help but call out softly when he saw that he was a little absent-minded.
" Oh." Lin Chenfeng slowly retracted his gaze and said," The money you borrowed from him, did you have an IOU?”
"Yes, a total of 21 cards." Lin Chenlei said carefully.
"21 cards? How much is the total amount?" Lin Chenfeng asked casually.
"1...16,000." Lin Chenlei snorted like a mosquito.
