Early morning the next day.
The fake Hong Dali woke up early, put on make-up, dressed, and brought Li Nianwei and the nineckeys out towards the old folks’ home. Along the way they received a warm wee, the reporters carried their equipment and following behind them, and the mayor of Zhouzheng City weed them himself. The scale of the scene was extremely big.
During the inspection progress, the mayor of Zhouzheng City expressed his agreement and support of Hong Dali’s charity work and expressed that he would definitely let the old folks’ home in the entire city be top-notch, not let the Nation be disappointed with him, etc.
After the inspection, the fake Hong Dali chicly waved his hand and donated 10 million. The reporters all took down the picture of this scene.
In the picture, Hong Dali was very amiable, interacting with the elders in the old folks’ home very happily. This was a ssic example of a charity movement...
...
On the other side, He’an vige.
The mayor of He’an Town, a bunch of officials, and the vige chief Wang Xigui were all waiting at the vige entrance. Around them were parked ten over cars, all of them Toyoda brand ck-colored limousine, as if they were mafias on the move.
Beside them was arge group of reporters, all of them waiting for the people from the Eleventh Society to arrive.
Behind them were the vigers. These vigers all looked very pale and scrawny, their body covered with dirt, an obviousparison to the leaders in front...
Mayor Xu Dezhi waited for a while before his phone suddenly rang. He hurriedly walked to one side where no one was around and asked, “How is it, Hong Dali is in the old folks’ home now? Oh my, good good, now I can finally rest my heart. Hahaha, well done, I will reward you when I return!”
<i>Hong Dali is in Zhouzheng City now, about 200 plus kilometers from here. Even if hees now, it would be toote. Also, after the Eleventh Society finished doing the charity here, Hong Dali wouldn’te here anymore, right?</i>
He returned to Wang Xigui’s side. The two of them walked to one side and Xu Dezhi said, “Oh my, Hong Dali isn’ting. I can finally rest my heart.”
Wang Xigui’s face was full of delight. Since Xu Dezhi said so, then there definitely wouldn’t be any problem. “OK, there won’t be any problem then. After this, you get 60%, I take 40%, how about it? I have already prepared everything here.”
“70% for me and 30% for you.” Xu Dezhi gave a cold smile and said, “This time, the Eleventh Societying here to do charity will bring you quite a lot of benefits. It’s too much for you to take 40%.”
Wang Xigui’s eye twitched. Then, he gritted his teeth and nodded. “Fine!”
Saying this, he started walking back. Maybe it was because his mood wasn’t very good, seeing a wild dog near his leg, he angrily walked up and wanted to kick it. “Damn it, where did this wild doge from. You irritated me, I shall kick you to death, damn!”
...
Shanghai Tianhai City, Door to Heaven.
Wen Jianan brought two gentlemanly tigers and sat in the International Convention Center with the other four magnates. All of the members were looking at the live broadcast projected by Running Dog.
There were all kinds of animals in the venue, such as wolves, monkeys, panthers, bears, kos, and such. All were well-groomed, their furbed till they shone, leisurely lying on the floor, and asionally wheedling their owner—this money was worthily spent!
Actually, speaking of which, these people were at the broadcast today because what Hong Dali did was really too interesting. This Hong Dali was really full of tricks...
He and Ling Xiaoyi split up into two groups, one real and one fake, to cover up his real tracks. The fake one pretended to inspect the old folks’ home while the real one pretended to be a beggar, bringing Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi with him deep into the enemy’s territory. This incognito traveling journey could practically be shot into a movie...
Especially that Wang Cai and Wang Fu, those two grey-haired wild dogs were the cameramen...
The people were all discussing: “Oh my, looks like the King of Hades is easy to offend, but Dali is hard to deal with. This fellow...”
“Exactly, we can offend anyone but Dali. He’s practically invincible!”
“This He’an Town is going to be unlucky, haha!”
“Hahaha, that’s right, the conversation of those two people was all recorded, haha!”
Liu Yihui sighed. “Elder Brother, your Dali is really... This kid’s ideas are too evil, but I like it!”
Mu Tie winked and said, “He has attracted the attention of the people here in the Chamber of Commerce. This is a good chance for us to make arrangements for Weixin. After his show finishes, I reckon Weixin should be about done too, hehe.”
Hong Weiguo smiled, nodded, and softly said, “Keep a low-profile, keep a low-profile.”
...
Tianhai City Military Headquarters’ main building, inside therge conference room.
The Chamber of Commerce had the projection of Running Dog, they had the live broadcast sent to them as well.
The various leaders of the military all stared in bewilderment, their eyeballs almost dropping onto the floor. “Wow, this little rascal Hong Dali can really mess around, can’t he? He’s practically invincible! He can even capture such a precious scene!”
“Hahahaha, exactly, we will have something interesting to see this time!”
...
He’an Vige.
At this moment, Wang Xigui was describing the disaster to Xu Dezhi and the rest. “Mayor Xu, our vige has really encountered a big disaster! Look at these houses, they are mostly copsed or destroyed, the vigers don’t even have a ce to stay now. Oh my, the people from the Eleventh Society are really sent by the Goddess of Mercy to save us. They are really too timely!”
“Yes, indeed.” Xu Dezhi nodded in satisfaction, expressing high approval towards Wang Xigui’s acting. “Don’t worry, the Eleventh Society will definitely bring along arge number of resources. Then, you can pass them down to the vigers to help them.”
“Of course, of course.”
Their conversation attracted the surrounding reporters. The reporters surrounded them and asked together, “Mayor Xu, Vige Chief Wang, the vige looks so tragic now, didn’t you sent them any resources to help them previously?”
“Exactly, we can’t just watch them starve and freeze, right?”
“Everyone, quiet down, quiet down.” Mayor Xu wasn’t flustered at all facing these kinds of questions. He said, “Actually, for this problem, it isn’t that the town doesn’t want to help them, it’s because the mountain roads are really too hard to walk on. You all have already seen that the paths here can only let normal limousines pass, trucks and such can’t get to here. We really don’t have any solution to this. Also, our town is facing a lot of difficulties too; we are really running short on funds. The ie from tax collected is only enough to sustain the expenses of the various departments in the town, we really don’t have excess money to help this vige. I am willing to pay from my own pockets, but my sry every month is only that much. I have the heart, but not the strength.”
His tone was heavy and his face sorrowful. This scene could really cause all those who heard and saw it to cry in sadness.
The reporters all nodded and then pointed their lenses towards the pitiful vigers in unison, their voices filled with empathy. “Everyone can see that the environment here is very bad and the roads are rugged, only barely able to let one limousine pass. Also, this vige is surrounded on three sides by mountains, and one side even has a small river. To go to town, they must sit in a car for half an hour. Mayor Xu Dezhi wanted to help them from his own pockets but didn’t have the means to. What a good Mayor...”
<i>This reporter is quite clever!</i>
Xu Dezhi’s face was full of delight. Once he returned to town, he definitely had to treat him well! Thinking up to this point, he took out a tissue and wiped away some water he forced out in his eye and said, “Now everything is turning for the better. The workers from the Eleventh Society have heard of the circumstances here and n toe for charity work. I represent all of the vigers of He’an vige in thanking all the members of the Eleventh Society. It’s their aid in these dire times...” Saying so, he saw a wild dogzily standing there and looked at him with watery eyes. This time, even he himself was touched. “Oh my, look at this. Look, even a wild dog knows to be grateful to the Eleventh Society. Sigh, the Eleventh Society will touch the Heavens, touch the Earth, touch the masses!”
...
Seeing Xu Dezhi’s fabulous performance, all of the members in the Chamber of Commerceughed till they dropped—
“This moron, he doesn’t even know that he’s being recorded. Hahahaha, this is really too funny. He is still being thankful there. Later, he will definitely want to cry but won’t be able to!”
“That’s right. Hahaha. His call just now and conversation with the vige chief have all been recorded. Plus this part, oh my, this is really interesting!”
“I think this is much more interesting than meetings!”
“That’s right. From now on, I am Young Master Dali’s loyal fan too!”
At the military headquarters main building, sounds ofughter exploded there as well. If the sounds turned into physical attacks, it would definitely st the roof apart—
“Hahaha, this old fellow is really good at acting. Hahaha, he just said that he wanted 70% previously, and now he wants to pay from his own pockets!”
“This is solid evidence. They are totally done for this time, hahaha!”
“This little rascal Hong Dali. Well done!”
...
As Xu Dezhi talked volubly, at the other side of this ce, Hong Dali, Tang Muxin, and Ling Xiaoyi, these three beggars plus Wang Cai got near the vigers from the back. After he got close, with a miserable face, he said, “Can anyone give us something to eat, we got lost here, we haven’t eaten for a day...”
Yup, he indeed did not eat anything this morning, so this wasn’t a lie...
“Go away.” The vigers all turned away. “Where did this little beggare from? All of us don’t have anything to eat too, where would we have excess food to give to you. Go find the officials in front, they have money!”
“Exactly, you asked from the poor instead of the rich, you don’t even know how to be a beggar...”
Hong Dali felt even more wronged and said, “Who would dare to ask from those government officials, they would probably beat us to death if they saw us, wouldn’t they? Therefore, please take pity on us. We have already drifted here, we don’t want money, just some food...”
Hong Dali’s words really resounded with the vigers. Quite a lot of them said, “Yup, that’s true. Sigh, these years, those government officials... Wu wu!” He still wanted to continue, but the person beside him covered his mouth and softly said, “You don’t want your life anymore? You dare to say such things, have you forgotten what happened to Old Liu’s family?” Hearing him mention Old Liu’s family, the previous person instantly didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Hong Dali, Tang Muxin, and Ling Xiaoyi looked at one another. There was obviously a secret here!
