"Leng Chuan, pull over and take a look. I see there is a wonton stall over there."

Then the black business car parked slowly on the side of the road. Ye Fang and Leng Chuan came to the wonton stall and found two tables to sit down at. Ye Fang and Leng Chuan sat on one table, and the four iron guards sat on one table.

"Boss, six bowls of wontons!"

"Okay!" The boss's clear voice couldn't help but make people feel more friendly. The speaker was an old man over sixty years old. His accent didn't sound like a Taiwanese, but more like someone from Guangzhou. There was a young girl in front of the stall helping to wrap wontons and clear the table. She must be a grandson and grandson.

"Boss, your accent sounds like you're not from Taiwan, right?" Ye Fang asked.

"I'm from Chaoshan, Guangdong. I've been in Taipei for more than ten years. Is your husband from the mainland too?" As he spoke, the boss put a large plate of wontons into the pot, and the little girl quickly prepared six sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Ye Fang responded uncertainly. Although it was almost midnight, there were still many people on the streets of Taipei. There were many stalls like the old man along the street. Most of them were doing business with nightclub customers. Many luxury cars were there. Parked on the roadside.

"The wontons are ready, Xiaona, let's serve them to the guests."

This girl named Xiaona has a long ponytail, fair skin, and a pair of big talking eyes. Her whole body exudes a youthful and bright atmosphere, and she looks very eye-catching.

Xiaona moved very quickly, and six bowls of wontons were served to two tables quickly. After being drunk, taking a sip of the hot soup and eating a Cantonese-style wonton made my stomach feel so good. Ye Fang couldn't help but sigh that it was full of flavor.

Just as Ye Fang and Leng Chuan were concentrating on eating wontons, three shabby-looking little Taibao walked up to the stall and threatened to charge 1000 yuan for tonight's protection fee.

"Little brother, we haven't earned 1000 yuan from our stall at night. Can we make less tonight?" the old man begged.

"I don't make the rules, old man. I'm just doing things. Don't make things difficult for me, okay?" The leading little eunuch looked at the old man impatiently, then glanced back at Xiaona, with a lewd smile on his lips.

"Business is really not good tonight. If it's better, five hundred would be okay?"

Obviously the old man's begging had no effect. The leading little eunuch walked straight up to Xiaona, grabbed Xiaona's hand, and said with a smile, "Five hundred is fine. Let your granddaughter give me one." He then stepped forward. Kissing Xiaona, the girl was so frightened that she dodged repeatedly. The old man also stepped forward to pull her and was pushed to the ground.

"Bang!" Ye Fang slammed the chopsticks on the table.

Then the four iron guards immediately took action and subdued the three little eunuchs in an instant. The leader was taken directly to Ye Fang's table.

"I can't stop eating even after eating!" Ye Fang slowly turned to look at the little eunuch and said, "Which hand grabbed that girl just now?"

Tiewei then pressed the little eunuch's right hand on the table. Tiewei's big hands like steel pliers pressed the little eunuch's hand tightly, making him scream in pain.

"Ah! Let go, how dare you touch me?! What the hell are you looking for..."

The moment the little eunuch stretched out his hand, Ye Fang quickly pulled out a steel chopstick from the chopstick holder with his right hand. Hearing a "plop" sound, the steel chopstick was deeply inserted into the back of the little eunuch's right hand, and blood flowed down. The tabletop dripped onto the floor.

"Ah——" The little eunuch howled miserably!

The girl on the desk who saw the blood also screamed and moved back.

The injured little Taibao tried his best to withdraw his right hand, but it was as if his hand was growing on the table and could not move at all.

"There are ways to collect protection fees. It's reasonable and reasonable, and it requires your consent and my consent, don't you think so?" As he spoke, Ye Fang took out another steel chopstick and inserted it into the back of the little Taibao's hand again. The two chopsticks were compared. It stood on the back of the hand, looking very scary.

The little eunuch's screams like ghosts crying and wolves howling instantly spread throughout the street, and many people near the stalls couldn't help but look over.

Ye Fang ignored the screams of the little eunuch and continued to eat the wontons with a small spoon in the bowl. Perhaps because he disliked the little eunuch for shouting too loudly, Ye Fang glanced at the little eunuch, with a terrifying look that was full of murderous intent. The little eunuch was as silent as a cicada, gritting his teeth and not daring to make any sound.

Just like that, Ye Fang and Leng Chuan sat at the table and finished eating the wontons as if nothing had happened. Ye Fang wiped his mouth with a tissue and said word by word, "Listen, I don't want to see you here again in the future. Get out now!" "

After speaking, Leng Chuan pulled out the two steel chopsticks stuck on the back of his hand. The moment the chopsticks were pulled out, there was another shrill scream. The little eunuch covered his bloody right hand with his left hand and stumbled away with the help of the other two people.

"Young man, you got into trouble. These people are from the Bamboo Union Gang. They are the local gangsters in this area and are not to be trifled with. They will definitely come back." The old man said with concern.

Ye Fang asked Leng Chuan to give 5000 yuan to the old man, and then said, "You guys close the stall, I will handle it here."

The old man accepted Ye Fang's 5000 yuan while pushing and shoving, and then he and his granddaughter quickly packed up their things and left the stall.

"Let those people in the hotel come out for a stroll and say I'll treat them to wontons!" Ye Fang said with a smile.

"Okay!" Leng Chuan then made a call.

This street is not far from the hot spring hotel. Lan Lu and Xiang Yu came with their men soon after the call was dialed.

"Wontons! Where are the wontons?" Xiang Yu asked loudly when he saw that there were no wonton stalls around.

"It'll be here in a minute! Don't worry!" Ye Fang said with a smile.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Fang finished speaking, a crowd of 60 people came not far away. The little eunuch who was injured just now was also in the crowd with his right hand wrapped in gauze. The leader was an aggressive young man, and the thugs who followed behind him all had their hands wrapped in gauze. Holding a stick, he looked murderous.

"Don't tell me, you asked us here to help you fight." Only then did Xiang Yu see Ye Fang's intention.

"Before eating the wontons, loosen the bones first!" Tiewei had already found a chair for Ye Fang to sit down on, and then Ye Fang watched the head-on encounter between the two groups with great interest!

"Boss, that's the guy!" the injured little eunuch pointed at Ye Fang and said.

"Wala Gong Aqi..." The leading brother spoke in Hakka dialect. Ye Fangzhi frowned and shouted, "Speak in Chinese!"

"Mainland boy, you dare to cause trouble on my territory, do you think your life is too long?" The leader is the little boss of the Bamboo Union Gang who specially arranges to collect protection fees on this street. Because he is used to growing his hair long, he is known as Brother Changmao has thirty or fifty younger brothers at his disposal.

"With your legs broken, kneel down and talk to me!"

Ye Fang gave an order, and all the Iron Guards drew out their sticks and rushed forward. Before the Iron Guards could rush into the crowd, a beautiful voice from behind jumped up high, and arrived in front of Changmao first.

A horse raised its legs high, and Lan Lu's high heels went straight through Changmao's chin. Changmao's throat was immediately filled with blood, and he knelt in front of Lan Lu, unable to even speak.

Lan Lu pulled Changmao's neck collar and passed it through the crowd of iron guards to bring Ye Fang in front of Ye Fang. Changmao looked at Ye Fang with a horrified look on his chin, his mouth was so full that he was speechless. The street guy who was so arrogant just now suddenly became as frightened as a kitten. And the dozens of people who followed behind them saw that their boss was so easily dealt with, and they all lost the confidence to resist. The Iron Guards were like wolves rushing into the flock of sheep, and after a while no one was left standing.

Soon Lengchuan brought the little eunuch who had reported the injury to Ye Fang. At this moment, all the young men with long hair were pinned to the ground by the iron guards and knelt in front of Ye Fang.

The entire street was silent at the moment, and everyone was staring at the scene in front of them. It had been many years since anyone had dared to challenge the authority of the Bamboo Union Gang. Many people thought that there would be no peace in the streets of Taibei in the future. They didn't know where the murderer came from, and he was so ruthless.

Ye Fang ignored the long-haired brother, but turned to look at the little eunuch, and heard Ye Fang say softly, "I remember I said don't let me see you again, are you turning a deaf ear to my words?" Ye Fang stepped on the injured right hand of the little eunuch, causing the little eunuch to scream in pain. Changmao on the side looked at Ye Fang's eyes that were full of the coldness of a beast, which made Changmao feel cold from the inside out.

"Are you still settling the score with me?" Ye Fang asked, looking at Changmao.

Brother Changmao was startled by Ye Fang's sudden question and shook his head quickly.

Ye Fang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I believe you! If you let me see you again next time, that will be the end of him."

"Break his legs and hands and lie down along this street!" After saying that, Ye Fang stood up, straightened his clothes, turned around and left. Lan Lu and Xiang Yu were on the left and right of Ye Fang, and the iron guards followed Ye Fang in darkness. Behind him, he was full of momentum.

But there was an unusually miserable cry from behind. The little eunuch's limbs were broken and he was howling miserably on the street. The long-haired brother had already been rushed to the hospital by his subordinates, for fear that he would be taken away by death if he was too late.

"I think you are more like a gangster than a gangster!" Xiang Yu muttered behind Ye Fang.

"You have to learn to adapt to different soils and change yourself according to local conditions, just like a chameleon, so that you can adapt to any environment. Otherwise, the goal will not be achieved and you will be eliminated first. In this land now, there is collusion between government and business, and black and white. , If you are not strong, you have to rely on the strong, otherwise you will be eliminated." Ye Fang paused deliberately, glanced at Xiang Yu, pointed and said, "My identity allows me to do whatever I want here, we must learn to change We have to be strong, so that those cats, dogs, etc. will take the initiative to come closer, so that we can naturally achieve what we want."

"Are you sure your trick will work here?" Xiang Yu didn't believe it.

"Whether it works or not, we have to give it a try. We can't just buy arms from the black market and rob the execution ground. If we don't save the people, we will get ourselves involved. It doesn't matter if you get involved, but if I get involved, it belongs to the country. Loss." Ye Fang said directly.

At first Xiang Yu agreed with what Ye Fang said, but then he thought something was wrong and immediately retorted, "It doesn't matter if I join in, but it will be a loss to the country if you join in?!"

Ye Fang smiled and rushed to Yu and said, "I will arrange a task for you and Lan Lu. Go to the Taipei agency to see if there is a building suitable for office. You can rent it or buy it. In short, I need an office space."

"What are you doing? Are you planning to open a company here?" Xiang Yu obviously didn't understand Ye Fang's plan. She thought that she was just here to perform the task. Buying and renting a building was completely unnecessary and a waste of public money.

"Of course, Taiwan's economy is still very dynamic. If there are suitable investment projects, it would be good to pursue them." Ye Fang said, imitating the Taiwanese accent.

"This is not necessary." Xiang Yu said.

"If I buy or rent a house here, my determination to invest can be seen. This will not arouse the suspicion of interested people and help us conceal our identity. This is also to complete the task better, do you understand?" Ye Fang said.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu was moved by Ye Fang's words and said emotionally, "Thank you for working so hard for my third brother's affairs and not even spending such money."

"I wish you could understand my painstaking efforts." Ye Fang said with a smile on his face.

"Brother Ye, after all, we are not familiar with the living and working habits here. Can Chen Yongcheng find someone who is familiar with the local situation to follow us?" Lan Lu said.

"What you said makes sense, but you can't find someone from Chen Yongcheng." At this time, a beautiful figure appeared in Ye Fang's mind, and he nodded and said, "I think I have a suitable candidate."

"Who?!" Lan Lu and Xiang Yu asked at the same time.

"We'll know tomorrow." Ye Fang said with a smile, and then said loudly, "Let's go eat!"

The next morning in a luxury apartment in Taipei, Su Yue, who was still lying in bed, was woken up by a phone ringing.

"It's so annoying. If this person on the phone can't give me a perfect explanation, I want him to look good!"

Su Yue cursed and answered the phone. Well, this was a promise for a long time. Su Yue jumped up from the bed, washed and dressed up at lightning speed, and then appeared in an elegant cafe near Ximending, Taipei.

"Mr. Ye, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call me." Although he had just met Ye Fang last night, Su Yue was still a little embarrassed to meet again today. Different from dressing up coquettishly at night, during the day Su Yue was completely dressed like a professional woman, looking capable but also revealing a kind of charm.

"Miss Su, please sit down. I take the liberty of disturbing you so early in the morning."

After Ye Fang and Su Yue exchanged brief greetings, he told her about his idea of ​​asking her to help find an office building. Su Yue was surprised after hearing this and said, "Me?! Don't Mr. Ye have any talents in this field?"

"We are both in Taipei for the first time. We are not familiar with the place, and it is difficult to entrust this matter to the government, so I thought of you." Ye Fang said directly.

"Is Mr. Ye really determined to invest in Taipei?" Su Yue asked.

"If there are really good projects here, I wouldn't mind investing here." Ye Fang replied.

Su Yue pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I wonder if Mr. Ye can give me a job opportunity. I would like to recommend myself!"

"Recommend yourself?!"
