Chapter 1 The Dragon City Rises

　　At the gate of Baolong Mining Company, Lu Feng got into Su Tianbei's car.

　　"Yes, the mining company's legal department said that the insurance company doesn't recognize it, and they are preparing to file a lawsuit." Su Tianbei frowned as he replied.

　　Lu Feng lit the cigarette he had just put in his mouth and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Do you know how much money Baolong Mining will have to pay if the insurance company doesn't recognize it, with over a hundred people involved?"

　　Su Tianbei had not really thought about this issue, because too many things had happened in the past two days. He had focused his energy on communicating with the mining company and the families of the victims in the association.

　　"According to the amount written in the contract, the maximum compensation is 980,000 yuan, which is more than 100 million for 113 people." Lu Feng took a deep breath of his cigarette. "The Baolong Group headquarters will definitely not give this money. It has to come from the mining company. Think about how much pressure Yang Decheng is under."

　　Su Tianbei was silent.

　　"It's not easy to get this money," Lu Feng paused here, "but we have to pursue it, because it's stained with blood. Owing money to the dead is no use no matter how many scriptures you chant."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, the two fell silent completely.

　　Because of a mining accident, Lu Feng was actually sitting in the same car with the Su family, waiting for the same result. This could be regarded as proof that life is impermanent.

　　During the long wait, Su Tianbei and Lu Feng didn't say much, but smoked one cigarette after another, almost setting the car on fire.

　　Around 10:20 p.m., Lu Feng's brother suddenly ran over, knocked on the car window, and shouted, "Yang Decheng is back!! He's going into the compound."

　　"Let's go!"

　　Lu Feng stubbed out his cigarette and opened the car door first.

　　…

　　A minute later, Su Tianbei, Lu Feng and others blocked Yang Decheng in the hall of the mining company's main building.

　　"President Yang, we are here to discuss the compensation!" Su Tianbei rushed forward, drenched in rain. "The reply from your company's legal department is unsatisfactory to the families of the workers. If we can't come to a result today, the families will make trouble, and we really can't control it...!"

　　Yang Decheng glanced at Su Tianbei expressionlessly and frowned as he replied, "Come on, let's go to my office to talk."

　　"Okay, okay." Su Tianbei nodded immediately.

　　After about five minutes, Yang Decheng led Su Tianbei, Lu Feng and others into his office, then nodded slightly to the secretary, signaling him to go out first.

　　After the secretary left the room, he immediately called the head of the mining company's security department.

　　Inside the office.

　　Yang Decheng sat on the sofa, wiping the water droplets off his body with a dry towel, and said lightly, "Actually, it's useless for you to come to me. The reply from the legal department is the most accurate and authoritative! Currently, the insurance company doesn't recognize it, so we can only negotiate with them and put pressure on them through the municipal government, but the specific decision will have to wait until after the negotiation. If that doesn't work, we can only solve it through legal channels."

　　"President Yang, you know very well! These miners are the pillars of their families. Once they are gone, many families will have no way to live. You guys are suing and negotiating. If it takes more than a year, we can wait, but the workers can't." Su Tianbei said excitedly, "You are the general manager of a large enterprise and a large group. You can discuss it with the higher-ups and let the group pay in advance. Isn't that a big problem?"

　　Yang Decheng glanced at Su Tianbei and slowly picked up a cup of hot tea. "Big company? Big companies have complicated procedures. The group has its own system, and the company has its own regulations. It involves more than 100 million in compensation! Who do you want to take the lead in making this decision? Me? Do you think I have this right?"

　　Su Tianbei stared at him, "It was your management who asked us to send the workers down the mine after they joined the company! The mining company is responsible for this...!"

　　"I didn't say there was no responsibility! Otherwise, why would I be here negotiating with you?" Yang Decheng replied slowly, "Xiao Su, you can't be too anxious. Listen to me and go back and wait for news."

　　"President Yang, let me be clear, we must come to a result today, otherwise I won't be able to give the workers' families an answer tomorrow." Su Tianbei said, not giving an inch. "Once their emotions rise and they gather to make trouble, we won't be able to control it! The negative impact they bring to Baolong Group is also unknown...!"

　　Yang Decheng's face darkened when he heard this. "Why are you always threatening me?!"

　　"I'm not threatening you!"

　　"Who are you trying to scare with making trouble?! The mining disaster with over a hundred people has already been exposed, what other negative impact can there be?" Yang Decheng frowned and said, "I told you before, this matter could be covered up, and the company could compensate you, the board of directors agreed, but you had to make small moves! You had to report to Li Mingsheng, and now the matter has fermented, and the pit can't be filled! What can be done, just wait!"

　　When Su Tianbei heard this, a fire rose in his heart. "We didn't report it, the mayor's secretary called to inquire, we had to give an answer, right? We can't lie, right?"

　　"Yes, you can't lie, then you won't get any money." Yang Decheng looked at Su Tianbei with his head tilted. "Wait, wait until there is a result, and then come and collect the compensation!"

　　"You're being irresponsible by saying that!!"

　　"Kid, who do you think you are? Do I need to be responsible to you?" Yang Decheng pointed at Su Tianbei with contempt and roared, "Just you few rotten garlic heads, you're learning from others to run an association? Can you figure it out? Originally a small matter, you had to expand it and create influence! Aren't you lacking a brain? I'm telling you, now the main departments in the city are all watching this matter. If you want to get money, you have to pass at least a hundred levels! Go back and wait!"

　　Su Tianbei's eyes turned green with anger, and he clenched his fists and asked, "You can't solve it now, right?"

　　"That's right, can't solve it!" Yang Decheng shook his head. "Can only negotiate."

　　"I'm telling you, if you can't solve it, I'll take people to the work area tomorrow!" Su Tianbei roared, "If it gets out of control by then, don't say I didn't warn you!"

　　"Hehe, fuck!" Yang Decheng grinned and pointed at Su Tianbei, "You better take people to make trouble now! Sue our company to the judicial department! The bigger the better, our Baolong Mining will definitely respond! cn

　　Lu Feng had a gun pointed at his head, slowly turned around and looked at him. "What are you going to do?! Are you going to kill me?"

　　"Even if I kill you, it would be a white kill, do you believe it?!" The head of security replied with a strong jianghu (martial world) air, "How many heads do you have? Working with the miners? Don't you know your own surname?"

　　Lu Feng slowly stood up, stared at the other party and replied, "I'll give you one chance! Just one chance! I'm going to hit him with an ashtray now, and then you shoot me! Do you understand?"

　　After saying that, Lu Feng suddenly turned around, holding the ashtray in his hand and smashed it towards Yang Decheng's head. "Are you going to give it or not!!"

　　"You motherfucker!" The security personnel were stunned for a moment, then reached out and pulled Lu Feng.

　　"I gave you the chance, but you didn't shoot!" Lu Feng had also fought with Gou Liuzi, and his physical fitness was very strong, and his movements were also agile. He turned around and directly grabbed the wrist of the head of security, then swung his right leg slightly!

　　"Thump!"

　　The head of security was robbed of his gun and fell to the ground.

　　Lu Feng held the gun, bent down and pointed it at his head and shouted, "I've been quiet for a while, don't you recognize me?! Playing dirty? Are you capable?!"

　　The head of security looked at Lu Feng, squinted and cursed, "I'll go to your mother! When something happens in Changqing, you go to the police station faster than the police car! What are you pretending for? You can grab it, but do you dare to shoot?!"

　　"Swish!"

　　Lu Feng racked the slide, released the safety, and pointed the muzzle down!

　　"Bang!!!"

　　The gunshot exploded, and the head of security screamed and rolled on the ground!

　　"Do I dare or not?!" Lu Feng racked the slide again, pointed the gun at the other leg of the other party, and decisively pulled the trigger.

　　"Bang!!"

　　The gunshot rang again, and both legs of the head of security were shot through.

　　"Ah!!"

　　The security guard struggled violently on the ground, and Lu Feng turned to look at Yang Decheng, "Let me tell you clearly, I may not stand up for the affairs of Changqing Company, but I will definitely not be careless about my own affairs! If you give me one cent less for the compensation of the workers, you won't have peace!"

　　A middle-aged man walked in from outside the door and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Block all the doors for me and call the police!"

　　Lu Feng turned to look at him, "I have at least two thousand brothers under me!! I'm putting my words here today, if I go in later, if you, Yang Decheng, can walk out of The Dragon City alive!! I, Lu Feng, will hang myself on that collapsed mine!"

　　Su Tianbei ignored Lu Feng with the gun, grabbed Yang Decheng's neck with both hands and roared, "Are you going to give the money or not? Huh?!"
