Chapter 917: High-Sounding
Jiang Bai frowned after hearing this, and looking at Emma who looked confused, Jiang Bai knew that it would be difficult to get any useful information from her.
And these two stupid thieves don't seem to be telling lies, so this matter is worth pondering.
Why would this Hammett attack Emma, an unrelated person?
Who is instigating him behind the scenes?
Jiang Bai was very curious about this.
According to the past situation, Jiang Bai will leave with the two stupid thieves as soon as possible to find Hammett and find out everything.
However, Jiang Bai, who is now different from what he used to be, decided to be patient for the time being. His strength was insufficient, and Jiang Bai was unwilling to cause too much trouble. A small black boss was nothing to worry about.
The key is that Jiang Bai is afraid of making a fuss with others and being discovered by someone who is interested, which will be disadvantageous to him.
In fact, the wisest choice for Jiang Bai now is to ignore and ignore everything, hide and wait for his strength to recover, or secretly return to the country and let Cheng Tiangang help hide him, or stay silent now, not causing any trouble, and wait for his recovery. At first.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Bai said to Emma: "Pack up your things, it seems we have to hide for a while!"
Head-on confrontation is not a good choice in this situation. First, take Emma to meet Du Tiangong, a local snake, and ask about Hammett. Maybe you will gain something.
Even if not, with his help, it shouldn't be a big problem to hide for a while. When Jiang Bai regains his strength, the sky is high and the sea is bright again.
After being stunned for a moment, Emma also realized that the problem was serious. She didn't dare to delay at all, so she started to clean up the house according to Jiang Bai's instructions. Without being too verbose, she found a few pieces of personal clothing, and then found her ID and some important items. Items, he stood in front of Jiang Bai with two leather bags.
Jiang Bai knocked out the stupid thief in front of him with one palm, gagged him and the strong man, tied them up, put them in the house, and then left with Emma.
When I went out, I felt something was wrong, so I found a big hat at Emma's house and wrapped it tightly for her to prevent anyone from recognizing it.
Then he drove away from here. On the way, Emma asked Du Tiangong to call Du Tiangong on the phone and got in touch with him. The other party quickly sent several burly bodyguards to meet Jiang Bai in two cars.
Then under the protection of these people, he came to his villa in the suburbs.
Du Tiangong personally greeted her there and asked his wife to come forward to entertain Emma. He considered it carefully. When his wife took Emma upstairs to arrange the room, Jiang Bai and Du Tiangong had already sat down.
"I ran into some trouble some time ago. If it hadn't been for Miss Emma's help, I still don't know what would have happened. I can't ignore her affairs. Do you know Hammett?"
Jiang Bai sat there and said in a deep voice. He had just told Du Tiangong about his general situation. A friend had encountered a problem. Now he sat down and went straight to the point.
"Hammet? That madman?" Du Tiangong's face changed after hearing the name, and he looked a little unhappy. It was obvious that he knew Hammett, and even understood and feared him quite a bit.
Jiang Bai sat there without saying a word and waited quietly for the other party to continue. He knew that Du Tiangong would definitely continue talking. As expected, after Du Tiangong said this, he continued: "This Hammett used to be just a lunatic. He led a bunch of gangsters to hang out in the slums. Although he was very brave and dared to do anything, he was too arrogant and offended many people, so his influence was never very strong."
"But I don't know what happened. Three years ago, Hammett suddenly had someone's support. A big force was behind him and provided him with a large amount of arms and money. This made Hammett's power expand rapidly."
"Although there were several crises in the process, the people behind him came forward to solve them. For this reason, some of the established forces in Leba City were wiped out."
"This made Hammett so powerful that he now dominates the ghetto and surrounding areas."
"As far as I know, there are at least hundreds of lawless guys working for him now. There are supporters in parliament and local police departments. His influence has even begun to touch some members of Congress."
"This person, what should I say... is not easy to mess with!" Du Tiangong, who was sitting opposite Jiang Bai, said with a heavy expression after taking a sip of a cup of tea.
Of course Jiang Bai is not a simple person. He can be friends with Cheng Tiangang as a peer. He has such a good relationship that he can only think about it with his toes. He is not an ordinary person, but he is in China after all.
And this is the Republic of Lanxi, after all, it is not Cheng Tiangang's territory. Hammett's power here is very strong, and it is not something Jiang Bai and the others can compete with, so Du Tiangong cannot help but treat it with caution.
He is a businessman with some power, and can also be said to be the leader of the Chinese gangs in Leba City. Although he has some power that can compete with the local forces, the price he has to pay is extremely huge and unbearable.
Especially when the other party is a lunatic like Hammett.
Jiang Bai is a smart man. When he saw Du Tiangong's appearance, he knew that this matter was embarrassing for him. It seemed that he was not very willing to provoke Hammett, a madman.
Jiang Bai didn't force the other party. They didn't have much friendship to begin with, so it was good that the other party was willing to help. Do you still expect the other party to risk his life for his own affairs?
This is also a bit too much.
"I will handle this matter myself, but before that I need to borrow your place to rest for a while. During this time, Emma and I will temporarily hide here with you, should there be no problem?"
Jiang Bai and Du Tiangong's identities are not equal, so they are naturally a bit condescending when speaking. Such a tone makes people very uncomfortable. At this time, some of Du Tiangong's close followers have shown dissatisfied looks.
However, Du Tiangong himself did not mind this at all. When he heard that Jiang Bai had no intention of letting him compete with Hammett, he breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, patted his chest, and vowed: "Don't worry, I'm here. It doesn’t matter how long you live here, although Hammett is not easy to mess with, I, Du Tiangong, can’t be manipulated by just anyone!”
"I guarantee that Miss Emma's safety is not a problem here!"
"Hammett can't find Miss Emma hiding here with me. Even if he finds her, there's no need to worry. There's nothing he can do if I don't hand her over!"
Jiang Bai laughed at this and didn't say much. Who doesn't know how to say something high-sounding?
The key is not to look at this, but to see the performance at that time. I just hope that the people in front of me will not be scared when the time comes.
