C57

The owner of this hardware store was called Huo Liang. When he was young, he was also a reckless hoodlum.

Afterwards, he gained some fame in the underworld of Xiang City, and occasionally got to know the Chief of the Xiang City Business Bureau. Afterwards, he started the hardware business.

Coincidentally, there were a few construction projects in the city. With his relationship as the director, he was able to gather all the hardware for these projects and thus made a fortune.

In Xiang City, he owned four hardware stores.

And the house that was opened in front of Yining Middle School s, was because Yining Middle School s had required a large amount of hardware to build a new dormitory and gymnasium.

Now that Yining Middle School's dorm building had been completed and the gymnasium was almost finished, and there weren't any new construction projects in the vicinity, Huo Liang wanted to transfer this shop out.

Huo Liang's forehead was still wrapped in bandages. Yesterday, he had brought people to that restaurant to take revenge, but he did not manage to find Zhou Hao.

It made him angry all night, vexed when he would be able to breathe again. Unexpectedly, Zhou Hao had delivered himself to them today.

"Good boy, it was you who barged into the Infernal Realm this time." Huo Liang laughed sinisterly, and just as he was about to get the three employees to teach Zhou Hao a lesson …

Then, he suddenly thought back to the day before, when all five of them couldn't do anything to him, and now it was even harder to subdue him.

Therefore, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and narrowed his small eyes instead. "You're the one who wants to take over this shop?"

The moment he saw Huo Liang, Zhou Hao felt a headache. He never thought that the owner of this hardware store would actually be that fellow from yesterday.

Hearing him ask this, she also directly replied, "That's right, it's me. Do you still want to transfer them now?"

"I do, why don't I think about it?" Huo Liang chuckled. He put his hands behind his back and secretly made a hand gesture to the shop assistant behind him.

The shop assistant had been with Huo Liang for a few years, so he naturally knew what Huo Liang was trying to say.

Huo Liang thought that he had done it without anyone noticing, but when Zhou Hao saw the shop assistant walk in with a strange expression on his face, he knew what Huo Liang's intentions were.

He also turned around and said to Yan Tong and Lu Shiping: "Mom, Auntie Lu, you guys go back first. I'll handle this matter myself.

Yan Tong and Lu Shiping had also seen that Huo Liang recognized Zhou Hao, but they had never thought that the two of them would have such a deep grudge.

Yan Tong said to Zhou Hao: "This shop is very good, if it's not very expensive, we can take it."

"OK Mom."

Zhou Hao nodded, "Don't worry about me. Oh right, you can go over to Second High School and see what kind of good storefront there is. We might open a branch there in the future. "

"Sure." Thus, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping left together.

Huo Liang did not care much about their departure, as long as Zhou Hao, the main host, was still there.

Then, he heard Zhou Hao laugh at him: "Alright, then how much of the transfer fee do you want for this shop?"

Huo Liang extended ten fingers, smiled and looked at Zhou Hao, "A hundred thousand, I won't sell it for a penny less."

Zhou Hao immediately frowned, "A hundred thousand? You must be joking, although the area is not small, the transfer fee is at most ten to twenty thousand.

He snorted at Huo Liang, "I think you're planning on giving it to me."

"100,000 isn't considered expensive." Huo Liang saw ten or so people walking towards them with iron pipes in their hands, and the smile on his face became even wider.

"Originally, the transfer fee I set was 25,000. But look at my injury, don't you have the awareness of paying the medical fees?" He pointed at the bandage on his head and cursed at Zhou Hao.

Just then, the ten over people had already arrived in front of Huo Liang's shop and surrounded Zhou Hao.

Huo Liang also smiled sinisterly at Zhou Hao, "Now you can't even stop yourself from giving it to him. How about, you leave behind a hundred thousand or you leave behind a hand."

Zhou Hao looked at the surrounding people who were eyeing him covetously, and revealed a cold smile.

The reason he let Yan Tong and Lu Shiping leave first was to prevent this kind of situation from happening, so that he wouldn't have to worry about dealing with them.

Seeing that Zhou Hao did not answer Huo Liang, he slowly retreated backwards so as not to be affected by it, and then shouted to the people around him: "Brothers, give this brat a good memory!"

With a loud order, the dozen or so people immediately raised the iron pipes in their hands and rushed towards Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao dodged nimbly a few times, then cleverly avoided a few iron pipes that were swung at him, at the same time, he waved his fists and feet at the nearby thugs, causing them to scream miserably.

These people usually fought with each other to bully more people, but to Zhou Hao, these people were far from enough.

Although they did not try to kill Zhou Hao, they were all beaten up. After a few moves, none of them were able to stand up, and just laid on the ground in front of Huo Liang's shop.

There was already a lot of traffic here, so such a commotion naturally attracted quite a few people.

However, they knew that such matters could not be allowed to touch their bodies. Moreover, many of them knew the background of this hardware store's owner, so they could only watch from afar.

Huo Liang, who was hiding behind the counter, was completely stunned. He did not expect that not even ten people could do anything to Zhou Hao, and not only that, he had even knocked them down.

At this time, Zhou Hao also walked towards him with big strides. Huo Liang became even more flustered, but this hardware store did not have any back door, so he could not escape.

They could only watch as Zhou Hao directly went in front of the counter and grabbed his collar, then pulled him out from behind the counter.

"You, you, you, what do you want to do?" Huo Liang no longer had his previous arrogant and domineering attitude as he fearfully looked at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao, however, did not say anything. With a backhand slap, Huo Liang's face immediately swelled up. Then, with a "pa pa pa" sound, he gave Huo Liang a few resounding slaps.

"Rao..." "Please spare my life …" Huo Liang pleaded for mercy as he was beaten up by Zhou Hao.

At this moment, the sound of police cars came from outside, followed by a few police officers shouting, "What's going on!? Who's fighting and making trouble! "

Zhou Hao grabbed Huo Liang and walked out of the hardware store, only to see more than ten uniformed police officers.

Seeing them, Huo Liang felt as if he had found a savior, and hurriedly shouted, "Captain Huang, Captain Huang! Help! "

The leading officer saw that Huo Liang was grabbed by Zhou Hao like a little chicken and was shocked. He and Huo Liang obviously knew each other.

However, Captain Huang recognized Zhou Hao and could not help but laugh bitterly.

"Why is it you again? I say, Comrade Little Zhou, our bureau chief is right. Trouble will follow you wherever you go. "

Zhou Hao shrugged his shoulders, "It's not that I'm looking for trouble, it's just trouble looking for me.

Huo Liang's heart shivered when he saw that Captain Huang actually knew Zhou Hao.

He rolled his eyes and shouted to Captain Huang, "Captain Huang, this brat injured my staff and beat me up. You have to uphold justice for me."

Captain Huang shook his head. "I can't help you this time." Of course he knew Huo Liang's tricks. Those so-called employees were none other than his henchmen.

Hearing Captain Huang's words, Huo Liang was shocked. Could he have kicked an iron board?

At the same time, Zhou Hao also let go of Huo Liang and threw him onto the ground. Captain Huang patted on Zhou Hao's shoulder, "You brat, you're so powerful.

In the matter of saving Zhao Yuqin yesterday, Zhao Dingzhou did not involve the Xiang City's Public Security Bureau at all. All of the people she used were her own, so she did not know anything about the Xiang City's Public Security Bureau.

's group only found out about the matter two days ago when his assistant found them and extracted the two subordinates of the Peak Master who had been injured by Zhou Hao and was caught by him.

Originally, Situ Li had wanted to use his two subordinates to drag out the drug trafficking group to accumulate his achievements, but he was merely the Chief of Public Security, how could he dare to challenge Zhao Dingzhou?

Moreover, Zhao Dingzhou's assistant also said that if they could successfully eradicate the Han Drug Trafficking Group, it would be considered as his contribution, so Situ Li could only obediently hand over the two people.

The news of Zhou Hao aiding Zhao Dingzhou in saving Zhao Yuqin had spread throughout the Public Security Bureau, but Situ Li had given them an order to keep quiet, so no one was allowed to speak of this matter, otherwise, if they angered Zhao Dingzhou, no one would be able to take responsibility.

"Captain Huang, look at these people …" Zhou Hao looked at those thugs who were knocked down by him.

Captain Huang smiled and said to the other policemen, "Bring these guys back, eh..." "Wait, send them to the hospital first."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Hao, "Why are your blows so heavy?"

Zhou Hao spread out his hands: "My martial arts aren't good, so naturally I can't grasp the importance of this."

In the end, Huo Liang was brought back to the Public Security Bureau, and Zhou Hao, in order to make a statement, naturally followed them back.

When he went to the Public Security Bureau, Situ Li immediately came out and scolded Zhou Hao with a smile, "Every time I see you, nothing good will happen."

Huo Liang was extremely shocked to see that Situ Li had actually personally come to meet Zhou Hao.

Situ Li had always been the person he wanted to befriend and had never been able to do so. Now that he saw that Zhou Hao and Situ Li's relationship was so good, he couldn't help but regret it more.

And after Situ Li heard the whole story from Zhou Hao, he looked coldly at Huo Liang, "I already heard about you bullying the market, so today is the perfect opportunity to take care of you."

Actually, what Huo Liang did wasn't that serious. At most, he was just ordering others to fight in groups. He didn't even get involved in those kinds of gambling, nor had he ever committed any crimes. He could be considered as someone with a clean background in the underworld.

Situ Li only said this to scare him, after all he knew that Huo Liang had a good relationship with the people from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

Although the Public Security Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau did not have any disputes, it was not guaranteed that they would not find anyone to help them in the future, so Situ Li did not want to beat Huo Liang to death with a rod.

"Bureau Chief Situ, please spare our lives. I... "I …" Seeing that Situ Li was not looking at him, Huo Liang immediately turned towards Zhou Hao.

"Big brother, this little one doesn't know what's good for me. Please forgive this little brother." That shop, I gave you that shop, and also gave you a hundred thousand dollars as compensation for your losses. "

"Didn't you want to transfer that shop?" How can you give it to me? " Zhou Hao asked.

"Actually, I already bought that store a long time ago, so I can make the decision." Huo Liang immediately explained.
