Chapter 73

Chapter 20: Turbulence Arises Again

After leaving Hu Xiaoli's house, Hu Xiaobing gritted his teeth and took out 300,000 yuan from the factory's safe.

"Hey, it's me, damn it, I'm your boss. Gather everyone and come with me to the hospital to visit the injured patients," Hu Xiaobing roared into his phone.

Before long, Hu Xiaobing led a group of people straight to the Third People's Hospital of Chu City.

"It's past visiting hours, you...," the on-duty nurse quickly stood up to stop them, but under Hu Xiaobing's angry glare, she hesitated and fell silent.

"Hehe, beautiful lady, how about going out for a night with big brother, and we can have some fun!" A few people behind Hu Xiaobing whistled and slapped the nurse's buttocks, causing her to scream and the group to burst into lewd laughter.

At this moment, the injured from the coal dormitory were also startled. Seeing Hu Xiaobing and his group of people approaching with a menacing air, they were immediately frightened, trembling and full of panic.

"You... what do you want? This... this is a hospital," a man stood in front of his injured father, trembling as he spoke.

These injured people were all honest wage earners, who had never seen such a scene. In the past, when they saw thugs fighting, they would stay far away, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire. Today, the big thug Hu Xiaobing had come to their door, making them suffer greatly.

Hu Xiaobing scanned the surroundings, counted silently, and found there were 8 injured people. He took a step forward.

The injured people and their families took three steps back.

Hu Xiaobing tilted his head, and a subordinate took out a stack of money from behind him.

"Here are 160,000 yuan. I'll give each family 20,000 yuan for medical expenses, and the extra money is for supplements," Hu Xiaobing said with a grim expression.

The injured people looked at each other, unsure of Hu Xiaobing's intentions, and no one dared to take the money.

Hu Xiaobing sneered inwardly and signaled his subordinate to hand the money to everyone.

"Take the money. If you dare to cause trouble or spread rumors in the future, hmm!" Hu Xiaobing pulled out a machete from his chest and slammed it onto the bed's guardrail, making a crisp sound that frightened the injured people.

"Anyone who dares to speak out in the future, I'll kill their entire family!" Hu Xiaobing spat out his cigarette and said, "Let's go!"

"Remember, anyone who dares to speak out, I'll make sure they die a miserable death!" The subordinates followed Hu Xiaobing, brandishing knives and threatening, before leaving. As they left, they couldn't resist groping the nurse again, causing her to scream repeatedly.

After Hu Xiaobing and his group left, the injured people finally caught their breath and looked at the 160,000 yuan in hundred-yuan bills, swallowing their saliva.

"This money...?" one person clenched his fists and wiped the sweat from his hands.

"Take it, this is the medical compensation from Mr. Hu," someone said, already tempted by the money.

"But didn't we agree to testify against Hu... for Lin Feng?" someone was still hesitant, feeling that this was too opportunistic and somewhat unfair to Lin Feng.

"What are you talking about? We were just seeking justice at first, and with this money, we can repay Lin Feng for the medical expenses he paid for us," another injured person said. He had his own calculations; he had spent no more than 5,000 yuan in the hospital, and with 20,000 yuan, he would make a profit of 15,000 yuan, equivalent to two years' salary.

"Right, besides, this is also thanks to 'Chu Tian Style.' Without their report, we wouldn't have gotten justice, and Mr. Hu wouldn't have compensated us," another person chimed in.

"Right, right, right!" Everyone nodded, looked at each other, and quickly hugged the money that belonged to them, smiling silently.

At that moment, they completely forgot why all this had happened.

After leaving the hospital, Hu Xiaobing raised his eyebrows, got into the car, and led everyone directly to the neighborhood committee chairman's house.

"What... what do you want?" The neighborhood committee chairman was shocked to see Hu Xiaobing and his group burst into his house, unsure of what Hu Xiaobing wanted.

Could he be planning to kill to silence us? —— Thinking of this, the neighborhood committee chairman became even more afraid, wanting to call for help, but seeing Hu Xiaobing's fierce expression and the group of people behind him who clearly weren't good, he didn't dare to. He could only coax his son and wife into the room and close the door.

Hu Xiaobing stared at the neighborhood committee chairman for several minutes, and just as the chairman was about to break down, Hu Xiaobing had someone take out 140,000 yuan in hundred-yuan bills.

"These 100,000 yuan are for the road and streetlight repairs in the neighborhood that I promised," Hu Xiaobing pointed to another four stacks of hundred-yuan bills and said, "These 40,000 yuan are for you. You're a smart person, so I don't need to say more, right?"

The neighborhood committee chairman glanced at the four stacks of hundred-yuan bills, his heart racing.

"What... what should I do?" The neighborhood committee chairman's mouth was dry, his eyes constantly flicking to the four stacks of hundred-yuan bills on the table, his hands sweating.

"Smart! No matter what you do, I want all the residents of the coal dormitory to never speak out again, or I'll make your family suffer," Hu Xiaobing threatened.

The neighborhood committee chairman looked at the four stacks of hundred-yuan bills on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded repeatedly.

"Mr. Hu is truly a good person, still thinking of helping our neighborhood with road and streetlight repairs. I believe the residents will be grateful to Mr. Hu," the neighborhood committee chairman smiled flatteringly, "I'll issue a notice tomorrow to inform everyone of Mr. Hu's good deeds. Mr. Hu, this will not only solve the problem of the broken roads in the neighborhood but also help some laid-off workers find jobs. You are truly a great benefactor!"

Hu Xiaobing was pleased to hear this and patted the neighborhood committee chairman on the shoulder, "It's all thanks to people like you that our country's economy has soared after the reform and opening up!"

The neighborhood committee chairman's face showed a slight awkwardness but quickly returned to normal.

"Please see Mr. Hu off, and I hope we can stay in touch in the future." After seeing Hu Xiaobing off, the neighborhood committee chairman looked at the 140,000 yuan on the table and was delighted. 40,000 yuan, he never thought he would earn 40,000 yuan in one night, more than the income from the few shops under the neighborhood committee. And he didn't have to kill or set fires; this was actually a good thing.

As for the agreement with Lin Feng, it was long forgotten in the glow of the 40,000 yuan in hundred-yuan bills.

"Hey, cousin, I've taken care of everything," Hu Xiaobing told Hu Xiaoli everything after leaving the coal dormitory.

"Good, you did well. However, there will definitely be an investigation team in the next few days. Keep your subordinates in check, and pay more attention to the gas emissions from your chemical factory. Spend more money to handle it. This time, don't let anyone catch you again. I'll take care of the rest," Hu Xiaoli felt relieved.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Wang Meng were unaware that the situation had already taken a turn, heading in an unknown direction.
