As an ordinary college student, Qin Haodong naturally had no connection with Long Haisheng before, and had never even heard of him.
He laughed and said, “The controller of the underground world, to put it plainly, he’s a big hooligan. What’s the big deal?”
“You must not underestimate Long Haisheng,” Lin Momo said with a serious face, “Not only can’t you provoke him, but also our Lin’s Group can’t afford to do so. If you happened to encounter him in the future, stay away as far as you can!”
Qin Haodong laughed because he didn’t care. This Long, the controller of the underground world, was nothing in his eyes.
Seeing that he didn’t take her words seriously, Lin Momo continued, “Long Haisheng’s strength is beyond your imagination. Just last year, a director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce clashed with him and talked about investigating him. As a result, he was taken away by people from the provincial authorities in a few days, and then there was no news about him.
Moreover, a large company competed with Long Haisheng for business some time ago. The company not only failed to win the business, but also offended Long Haisheng.
Just one word from Long Haisheng brought the departments of industry, commerce and taxation to make an investigation into this company. After that, all the major banks stopped lending to the company and no one in Jiangnan dared to do business with this company anymore.
Soon, a large company not much smaller than Lin’s Group was bankrupted.”
Qin Haodong nodded slightly. It seemed that this Long really had his ways.
The episode passed, and soon they arrived at Mickey Children’s Paradise.
Because the little fellow was too young, Qin Haodong and Lin Momo did not take her to play too exciting games. They successively played Pooh, Sweet Pot, Peter Pan, and other children’s projects.
The little fellow had a good time and kept giggling. She was very happy to come out and play with her parents.
“Papa, I want to play that!”
The little fellow pointed to the merry-go-round not far away.
“OK, Papa will take you there.”
The merry-go-round was the favorite of many children. It took about 20 minutes to line up for their turn.
Qin Haodong put the little fellow on a red wooden horse, standing beside her with Lin Momo at the other side. While they were waiting for the merry-go-round to start, suddenly someone shouted, “Stop! Everyone get out of here!”
He looked back and saw a group of people standing outside the playground. A middle-aged couple with a boy of five or six years old were followed by thirty or forty people in black.
Wearing Chinese tunic suit, the middle-aged man was neither tall nor strong, but he radiated a strong momentum.
The middle-aged woman next to him was gorgeously dressed. The little boy in her arms was very thin and listless. He had a sick face and had no hair on his head.
The one just shouted was a bald man with dragon tattoos, he was fat and ferocious.
Seeing the bald-headed man, people in the playground left one after another. After all, these people seemed to be of extraordinary origin, ordinary people could not afford to provoke them.
Seeing that the playground was cleared, the staff of the playground rushed over and said, “What’s the matter, sir?”
“Our young lord wants to play merry-go-round. We are now booking the whole playground and we’ll pay the due price!”
The bald man took out several bills and threw them in the arms of the staff.
“I’m not the one to be bullied. Why should we go?”
A tattooed middle-aged man shouted in disobedience but was slapped on the face by the bald man before he could finish. “Long is here booking the playground, and it’s not your turn to stand out!”
“Long, which Long?” the middle-aged man asked, covering his face.
The bald man slapped his mouth again and scolded, “Are you foolish? Is there a second person who dares to call himself Long in Jiangnan?
This time, the middle-aged man dared not say anything. He pulled the little girl next to him and left in a panic.
Soon, all the people in the playground ran away except the three of them.
Then Zhang Desheng rushed into the playground with other bodyguards and whispered, “It’s Long Haisheng out there. Let’s go now.”
“Long Haisheng!” Qin Haodong smiled a little. He didn’t expect to meet the man they were just talking about so soon.
“Are you afraid? If you’re afraid you can leave. I’ll take Tang Tang to play here.”
Qin Haodong disdained Zhang Desheng’s panic-stricken appearance.
“Er…”
Zhang Desheng looked anxious. As a bodyguard, he could not leave his masters and go for himself. But he was really afraid of provoking Long Haisheng.
“Miss Lin…” He turned to Lin Momo helplessly.
Lin Momo said, “Haodong, let’s leave. If we provoke Long Haisheng, he will bring trouble to Lin’s group.”
Qin Haodong did not take Long Haisheng in his eyes at all, but then he thought he was not alone. It would be bad to bring trouble to Lin’s group because of a small trifle.
After thinking, he said to the little fellow, “Tang Tang, let’s go play something else first, and then come here to play the merry-go-round, shall we?”
“Why? I have been waiting for a long time!” the little fellow said reluctantly.
“Because the little boy is ill, we should satisfy him if he wants to play merry-go-round by himself, right?”
Qin Haodong had already known that the little boy in the arms of the middle-aged woman was seriously ill and that he was bald because of chemotherapy.
“Well, all right then!” The little fellow nodded.
Qin Haodong picked up Tang Tang and prepared to walk outside the playground. By this time, the middle-aged woman had stood at the entrance of the playground with the little boy in her arms. She shouted loudly toward the inside of the playground, “What’s the matter? Why didn’t you go yet?”
Zhang Desheng rushed forward with a big smile and said, “We are from Lin’s Group. We’ll leave at once. We’ll leave at once!”
The reason why he first gave the name of Lin’s Group was that he was afraid that Long’s men would suddenly use violence. Anyway, Lin’s Group was still very important in Jiangnan. It was estimated that Long Haisheng would show them a little respect.
When the woman heard the name of Lin’s Group, she just hummed and shouted, “Get out of here!”
She was Cao Ting, Long Haisheng’s wife, and apparently did not take Lin’s Group seriously.
Qin Haodong frowned and was about to break out. Lin Momo quickly held him back. It would not be a good thing for Lin’s Group if he offended Long Haisheng.
Then the little boy in Cao Ting’s arms saw Tang Tang and said, “Mom, that little girl is beautiful. I want to play with her!”
Cao Ting turned her eyes to the boy in her arms. Her fierce and arrogant face turned into a doting one. “Baby, your body is too weak. Shall we play by ourselves?”
Then she turned to Qin Haodong and other people and shouted, “What are you doing? Hurry up and leave!”
“No, Mom, I’m going to play with that little girl. Her hair is beautiful!”
The little boy began to cry.
Cao Ting turned to Tang Tang in fury. “Dafei, tear off the hair of that little b*tch lest she should seduce my son.”
Qin Haodong could no longer control his temper. He would tolerate nothing when in regard to his daughter Tang Tang. No one could let the little fellow suffer a little.
Cao Ting was shouting loudly, but suddenly she felt a pain in her face and heard a snap when a big slap fell on her face.
At this moment, the playground fell into silence, as if time was still.
Zhang Desheng’s opened mouth was big enough to be stuffed with a steamed bun. He never dreamed that Qin Haodong would dare to hit Cao Ting. Cao Ting was Long’s wife, the woman boss of the underground world in Jiangnan.
Lin Momo was also shocked. She didn’t expect Qin Haodong, who had always been easygoing, to be so fierce that he used violence without hesitation.
But Qin Haodong, as if he had done something trivial, bowed his head and said to the little boy, “Kid, don’t learn from your mother, her mouth is so stinky!”
“Son of a b*tch, you dare beat me!” Cao Ting was stunned for a while before she regained her consciousness. He shouted hysterically, “Come on, someone cut him off for me!”
Then the bald man called Dafei came from outside, followed by the furious Long Haisheng
He stepped forward to Qin Haodong and said with a somber face, “Boy, dare to touch my woman.”
Qin Haodong said happily, “Nothing. Your woman is too rude. Let me educate her for you!”
Zhang Desheng felt his legs begin to tremble. He suspected that Qin Haodong had gone mad. He not only hit Cao Ting, but also dared to tease Long Haisheng. They would be screwed. He didn’t know if Long Haisheng would disable all of them in a fit of anger.
He bowed and scraped. “Long, this is a misunderstanding; we are from Lin’s Group.”
“Lin’s Group?” Long Haisheng’s face softened a little. He glanced at Lin Momo and said, “Well, I’ve had a drink with Lin Zhiyuan. All of you can go except for him.”
Then he looked at Qin Haodong coldly. He was the controller of the underground world, and hence no one dared to humiliate him as such.
Zhang Desheng was relieved at last. It seemed that Long Haisheng was not as unreasonable as his wife so he gave Lin’s Group an out. Zhang Desheng looked longingly at Lin Momo, hoping to take them out of here as soon as possible, before Long could repent.
Lin Momo hesitated for a moment and did not leave. She took Qin Haodong’s arm and said to Long Haisheng, “I’m sorry, Long, my boyfriend just got a little impulsive, but we are willing to compensate. We can give you as much money as you want.”
“Money? Money is the last thing I need!” Long Haisheng’s face changed. “Since you reject my kind offer, all of you won’t get away!”
Anger rose in his heart. A man came from nowhere dared to beat his wife in public. And a woman wanted to settle things with money. It seemed that his words became useless. Even cats and dogs could bully him now!
Qin Haodong was moved that Lin Momo didn’t throw him away at the crucial moment, which showed she was faithful.
He handed Tang Tang to Lin Momo’s bosom, then stand before them and arrogantly said to Long Haisheng, “What are you? When is it your turn to say whether we can leave or not?”
Zhang Desheng cried sadly in his heart. “We are done. We will be chopped into meat sauce.” He seemed to have seen the scene where Long Haisheng had outburst!”
