When it was getting dark, Aqiang and Lao Wu were already on the highway. The taxi driver was sleeping in the back seat, and Aqiang was driving the car. The taxi driver was knocked unconscious by Aqiang. He had always been tired, but now he slept soundly.
Aqiang's driving skills are not as good as Huang Jianming's, but they are not much different. This very ordinary taxi, in his hands, turned out to be like a sports car, driving very fast.
After passing the two highway exits, Aqiang drove the taxi to a secluded place and stopped. Ignoring the taxi driver who was still sleeping, he took Lao Wu and walked a few miles to get into another taxi.
Every once in a while, Aqiang would change cars, but he would not knock out the taxi driver every time. More often, he would rest with his eyes closed until the taxi driver took them to their destination. He is very generous and will pay for the fare, and the taxi driver is also happy to take him and Lao Wu on their way...
When the sky darkened again, Aqiang had already brought Lao Wu back to his hometown of Qijia Town. This is a small town that is almost isolated from the world, with antique charm and beautiful scenery. There are not many people here, and the only way to communicate with the outside world is the three-and-a-half-meter dirt road that Qi Feihong and the others took back.
This place is very backward, so most of the people here have chosen to leave. Those with some ability and connections have moved home to find better ways to live. Those who are slightly worse off will find a job outside and take their wives and children to work as migrant workers in the city. Except for a few cadres in the village, most of the people who stayed were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and were unable to leave this level.
There are still many of Aqiang's relatives and friends staying here. Most of them are Aqiang's uncles and uncles, or even his grandparents, their seniors. Aqiang respects them very much. No matter who he meets, he will say hello and give them some money as a greeting gift. It's a pity that they didn't welcome Aqiang's return very much. Everyone didn't give Aqiang a good look, even if they all accepted Aqiang's meeting gift.
Lao Wu was very strange. When asked the reason, Aqiang didn't tell him, so Lao Wu couldn't figure it out.
Aqiang has a three-story small building here, which he asked someone to help build before he left here. The small building occupies a small area, but the location is not bad. It is located in the north of Qijia Town, so it can be considered as being in the town.
Aqiang has not been at home these years, and the house has been empty. Nothing inside the house has changed, only a thick layer of dust has fallen. Aqiang and Lao Wu spent two or three hours and finally cleaned the house inside and out in the dark, making it barely habitable.
The house is quite spacious and there are many rooms. Lao Wu chose a room on the second floor facing the window and decorated it by himself to use as his bedroom tonight. It's just that Aqiang didn't return for a long time, and the quilt couldn't be used. Aqiang only found an old but still usable mat, washed it with his own hands, and let Lao Wujiang spend the night.
Aqiang didn't care about the quality of the room, so he found a room on the first floor and set up a bed. It was hot, so he didn't need a quilt or anything, so he lay down and fell asleep.
It was a very peaceful night. Qijia Town, far away from the city, was very quiet, without any noise from the city. Aqiang also slept soundly because of this. He slept until nine o'clock the next morning without dreaming.
Aqiang opened his eyes and felt a slight headache. He casually picked up the bottle of water he brought back yesterday and took a few sips. He felt better before putting on his coat. He had to prepare breakfast. Lao Wu had just arrived and didn't know anything. Aqiang still needed to prepare everything for her.
Aqiang always felt that Lao Wu was his biological sister, and he could not wrong Lao Wu no matter what.
Aqiang is going to the town to buy some daily necessities for Lao Wu, and he will also bring you breakfast back so that Lao Wu can eat a little first. He took the bag he brought back yesterday and planned to take some money out of the bag to buy something.
When Aqiang's hand touched the bag, he suddenly froze. The bag was opened, but Aqiang clearly remembered that he had not opened the bag last night.
Aqiang smiled, in a way that made people feel inexplicably sad, as if this was not laughing, but crying...
There was only a pile of newspapers in the bag, with some bricks wrapped in the middle of the newspapers. These bricks seemed familiar to Aqiang. He picked up one and took a look at it. He then turned to look at the pile of remaining bricks for building a house piled in a corner outside the house. He smiled again...
Aqiang smiled and went to wake up Lao Wu, but as expected, Lao Wu was not in her room at all. So Aqiang searched everywhere, but finally couldn't find her.
Lao Wu disappeared, and he disappeared with Aqiang's money and gold bars...
Not only the fifth child is missing, but the boss, second child and others are also missing. They disappeared collectively, disappeared without a trace, disappeared completely.
Aqiang suddenly understood that the boss and the others had already discussed that they would take away all Aqiang's money and completely leave Aqiang alone. The boss and the others may not want to stop here, so they abandon Aqiang who is determined to stop. But I don’t know why they took away all Aqiang’s money. Wasn’t this what they distributed to Aqiang? They wanted it, but Aqiang wouldn't say no, so why would he steal it?
Do people who are used to being thieves just like stealing? Or is it that the boss and the others are used to using stolen money and are not used to accepting gifts from others?
Aqiang didn't think any more. He walked around Qijia Town and took a trip into the mountains to the north of Qijia Town, as if nothing happened.
On the morning of the third day after Aqiang returned home, he left his hometown again. He was going to find someone and ask him for an explanation. He still couldn't figure it out, so he left his hometown and Qijia Town.
On the fourth day, Aqiang didn't find the person he was looking for...
On the fifth day, Aqiang still didn't find the person he was looking for...
On the one hundred and forty-ninth day, Aqiang finally found clues to the person he was looking for.
That afternoon, Aqiang was drinking in a bar in a little-known town. When he drank half a bottle of Daqu and was a little drunk, he suddenly heard a news report on the TV hanging on the wall of the bar. News related to Aqiang.
The TV broadcast was news from the Quan'an City TV station that Aqiang was familiar with, and it was provided by the Public Security Bureau of Quan'an City, which immediately caught Aqiang's attention.
The sweet voice of the news host reached Aqiang's ears, and he immediately listened attentively, without feeling drunk at all: "According to the police, several major robberies that have occurred across the country have been solved recently, and the police arrested six suspects in one fell swoop. Name. They are members of the "Group of Seven" who have carried out multiple robberies in many places recently. The person in charge of the police revealed that so far, among the members of the "Group of Seven", except for the criminal suspect code-named "Lao Qi", all the others have been arrested. The police arrested..."
Aqiang didn't listen anymore, just strode out of the bar, jumped into his newly bought Ferrari, and left like the wind. Aqiang drove the Ferrari as fast as a plane just because he wanted to find out as soon as possible whether the news reports were true.
He was looking for the missing boss and others, not because he wanted to get the money and gold bars back from them. Aqiang doesn't care about money, that's because he already has enough money, so much that he will never be able to spend it all in his life.
If you have too much money, it is just paper, waste paper.
Aqiang wants to quit, wash his hands in a golden basin, and never do moneyless business again. In fact, it is because he has too much money and he no longer needs the money that everyone wants.
It's a pity that the boss doesn't know this, and neither does the fifth child. She, the boss and others all think that Aqiang is a person who really doesn't care about money. They all think that Aqiang has no money.
Aqiang listens to his boss very much, but he is not a fool. The time when Lao Er and others were caught by mistake, Aqiang completed a theft mission alone. In that mission, he was seriously injured and almost died. But it was during that mission that he obtained a large amount of money that no one else could earn in several lifetimes, and he also came up with the idea of quitting the banditry. Of course, the arrest of Lao Er and others was also one of the reasons why he wanted to quit.
Yes, whether it's Aqiang or the boss, they are just a group of bandits. Bandits, as the name suggests, are both thieves and bandits. They not only steal other people's money and treasures, but also rob other people's money and treasures when necessary.
To put it bluntly, they are a group of people who have no bottom line and will do anything for money.
If there is a bottom line for them, it is that they have not killed anyone so far and have not taken any lives.
This is one of the reasons why the police did not kill them all. After all, no life was caused, and the crime will not lead to death. However, the amount of money involved in the case is huge, and if they are caught, they may be severely sentenced. If we include the fact that Aqiang held Huang Jianming hostage and forced Huang Jianming to order the release of the second child and others, I am afraid that the boss and others who were arrested this time will be charged even more severely and receive the most severe punishment.
Seeing the news that the boss and others were arrested, Aqiang drove to Quan'an City. On the way, he couldn't help but recall some of the previous things.
He still didn't want to let it go. He planned to figure out the truth of the matter and find a way to deal with the captured boss and others. After all, they were brothers once. Even if the boss and others plotted against him, he felt sorry for him, but he still couldn't bear to ignore it.
Aqiang is an emotional person, and he doesn't want his familiar boss and others to be thrown into jail and never get out of jail.
