He simply washed up and looked slovenly, but he didn't care about the price of meals in the dining car. After a hearty meal, he smoked a cigarette at the junction of the carriages, returned to his bunk, and continued to sleep. From his rhythmic turning over and disappearing snores , people nearby knew that he was not sleeping, just lying down to rest.
In this way, no one is interested in him, all the way to the destination.
I took a taxi, found an express hotel, showed an ID named 'Huang Li', and got a room.
He put on overalls and a colorful striped shirt, shaved his hair short, and walked in the narrow streets of the old city. If he didn't speak, his walking posture and some minor behavioral habits soon began to be no different from the locals. In the process, he also heard many pure Northeastern accents. Gradually, he dared to speak concisely and concisely, continuing to maintain a low profile.
A few days later, Huang Li was eating a popsicle and standing on the corner of a busy street in Yangcheng. He was not out of place here, nor was he very conspicuous. His baseball cap must have covered his brain, making him blend into the city. The effect is very good. The person who bought a popsicle or a pack of cigarettes and sold it to him may not remember having such a customer. After a day or two, the memory will be completely forgotten. It is really because of him that people feel There are too few memorable points, except that he is a bit tall.
In a big city at night, the place with flashing neon lights is called prosperity and a metropolis.
In those relatively ordinary neighborhoods, you may only notice the high-rise buildings when you look up.
After working overtime, several people went to a food stall for a late-night snack. Li Xueliang was put into a taxi by his colleagues and returned to his residence.
After getting off the car and walking towards the door of the unit, it was already midnight and the surroundings were very quiet. Suddenly, someone strangled me from behind, and then my mouth and nose were covered. A special smell hit me, and I fell into a coma.
Early the next morning, there was a scream, and soon after, the police arrived on the scene.
Just downstairs of his home, Mr. Li was robbed. His wallet and all valuable items were gone. His coat and clothes were also taken off, leaving only a pair of boxer briefs. He was tied up and gagged, just downstairs. In the green belt, he was discovered by someone who got up for a walk in the morning, and then the police were called.
Is this a robbery?
Even Li Xueling himself doesn't think so, but if not, then what is it?
humiliation?
Or, a warning?
After Huang Li finished his work, he still changed to an express hotel in about two days. In different areas of the city, he didn't rush to leave after finishing his work. He took a good stroll around the city, and then went to the most famous small hotel nearby. After enjoying the city for another seven days in the "all the way to the west" way, I safely took the train back to the Northeast.
The matter was not serious enough to require a large-scale investigation, so his precautionary actions were enough. Even if he only stayed in a hotel, even if his body was photographed by a nearby surveillance camera, it didn't matter.
The work is simple, risk-free, and highly profitable.
It is in a county town under Songjiang. This county town is also a heavy industrial city. There used to be several large-scale factories and mines. Nowadays, some have been restructured, some are half dead, and some are slowly maintaining their vitality.
It is more than 60 kilometers away from Songjiang city.
Close to mountains, not water.
On the edge of an old factory area, quite a few bungalows form a living community.
Transportation here is inconvenient. City buses only leave once an hour. It is sandwiched between the mountainous area and factories and mines. It used to be a welfare house built by the factory for employees. In addition to bungalows, there are also several four- and five-story red brick buildings.
These buildings are better than Tongzi buildings. Two families share a kitchen and bathroom, and one family has one room.
This was originally prepared for the technical staff and backbone of the factory.
As the factory fell into decline, people with a little bit of ability left one after another. Although it was not run down, it seemed a bit depressed. There were fewer factory employees living here, but there were no fewer overall users living here.
Here, the mahjong and poker industry is extremely developed. Although it has not become a market, in addition to the rural multi-functional grocery stores that accommodate vegetables and meat, there are also many small restaurants and barbecue restaurants that almost do not have plaques. .
Obviously this place feels quite dilapidated and lifeless, but these small restaurants do a good business.
Huang Li is back. After the heavy snowfall in winter, no one has cleaned the roads here. Whether it is a big road or a small road, they all rely on the life trajectory of the 'aboriginals'. Hard-working people are rarely seen here, and they would rather wear cotton shoes to trample on them. The snow covered the edges of my shoes, and I didn't clean up the yard or the path at the door.
"Dali, here we come."
Time, ten o'clock in the morning, when he met a person in a hurry at the street intersection, Huang Li nodded and followed him straight into a grocery store with dusty windows and a worn-out sign that could not be read clearly. If he was from outside, People estimate that only by looking at the words groceries scrawled in paint on the wall can they recognize that this is a grocery store.
Opening the door, the strong smell of smoke hit me.
The sound of mahjong rolling came, there were two mahjong machines, two tables of hand mahjong, and on the fire kang going in, there were also pai gow, Sangong, and Dongbei filling the big pit...
"Dali, here we come."
"Dali, come on, come on, I'll make some room for you, I'll put two bets on you."
No one asked why he had disappeared during this period, no one asked Huang Li what he was doing, and no one was interested in his whereabouts. The people here were only interested in the card game. There are quite a few people here who disappear and come back from time to time, and everyone is used to it.
Huang Li waved his hand and bought two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of Coca-Cola from the boss. After leaving, he walked up to a red brick building and knocked on the door. The house was in a mess, dirty and messy. Several men glanced at him and continued to push. Pai Gow, and here, the level of chips has suddenly gone up. They are all hundred-dollar bills, with a few fifty-dollar bills here and there. Almost all of them have become the bottom of the money pile. After winning or losing, there is no small bet. .
There are many idle people here.
There are many idle people here, and there are many rich idle people.
There are many single people here, and there are many people who can be summoned from the county town for a big price with just one phone call.
Seeing Huang Li directly take out three stacks, everyone's eyes lit up. Xiao, Dali went out this time and encountered a big business, otherwise he wouldn't have taken out 30,000 yuan at once for fun.
After playing until dawn the next day, Huang Licai walked back to a skewer shop, covered in oil. At this time, there were also people drinking and shouting. After all, in this area where there are many idle people, everyone enjoys playing cards. What's the point? The concept of black and white is reversed. After playing cards all night, we want to drink together as if we were drinking together early in the morning.
Huang Li got into the only bathhouse in this area. It was a shabby bungalow. Everything was shabby, but it was clean. Even some bath towels had been sewn with patches, but they were still very clean.
"Boiled mutton noodles, add 20 yuan of mutton, a plate of mixed vegetables, and a pot of wine."
It was a small, dilapidated bathing pool. The water was hot and clean early in the morning. Huang Li soaked in it with a cigarette in his mouth, feeling sleepy.
While I was still asleep, I got up, rinsed my hair briefly, wiped my body, walked out with a towel, and lay down directly on the old-fashioned cabinet resting place. The mutton noodles in the aluminum basin were covered with a layer of mutton. The plate was mixed with a variety of mixed dishes with leftover wine, sweet and sour flavors, and was paired with an old copper wine pot. It was placed in a large vat and brought up. The large vat was filled with hot water. The high-temperature wine tastes smoother, less spicy, and has a better taste.
At the same time, just as he entered the area suitable for parking at the intersection of this old area, which was also the last section of the county town with relatively many vehicles, Lu Jiang sat in the car and spat several times. He had been sitting there since morning. At night, I fell asleep listening to storytelling for several times.
The phone rang.
"Oh, Dali, you bastard, you just called me back after you had enough fun, took a shower, and had enough sleep."
On the other end of the phone, Huang Li, who had slept in the bathhouse all day, had just returned to his small bungalow in a taxi. He did not light the stove to light the fire. He entered the room and directly turned on the high-power electric heater, pointed it at the bed, and started to shabby the bedside. He took out his mobile phone from the cabinet. He had not taken it with him since he left home. The mobile phone he used at home had been turned off for a long time. When he came back yesterday, he only turned it on now and gave Lu Jiang a call back.
"You are so angry. You have been waiting for me outside all day, right?"
"Get out of here."
"See you in the same place, don't be so angry. You have also stayed in this place. The sleeping place is a temporary place, and the playing place is our home."
"Stop talking nonsense and come out quickly."
Huang Li brought a pair of cotton gloves and a cotton hat. After coming out, he wrapped himself in a coat. He walked out of the alley and looked around. He saw a dilapidated bicycle that was thrown under the wall of someone else's house. He walked over and helped him up. The two tires were still full of air. , the car is unlocked, and I come out here on my bicycle.
The road is not good, but fortunately, there are not many cars here on a small road that was once open to traffic. There is less exhaust gas, so the probability of snow and ice is low. It was wobbly. He rode the bicycle for about ten minutes. When he got to the roadside, he also put the bicycle away. He added water to the cart that was thrown on the roadside and temporarily rested in the yard where he washed the cart and ate.
He lit a cigarette, took off his gloves, walked out unsteadily, and walked towards the area where Lujiang parked his car.
Knocked on the window, opened the passenger door and got in: "I did as you asked."
Lu Jiang threw a man's crossbody bag to him.
Even though Huang Li is a 'serviceman' who specializes in doing this kind of thing, even he is very excited to be given so much money for such a job with little responsibility: "It's not like you haven't lived there before. Just go and avoid suspicion..."
Lu Jiang's eyes drifted away, and Huang Li's words stopped abruptly. He knew that he had said the wrong thing. Although people in this industry are not killers who directly kill people in movies and TV shows, they are not much different. The most taboos are Too talkative and too curious.
As a former 'neighbor', Huang Li used to think that Lu Jiang always thought about stability and was not suitable for this industry. When he was cheated by his boss in the south, Huang Li went to help. In the end, Lu Jiang didn't want his parents at home to do anything for them anymore. I was worried about it, so I held it back.
When he returned to Songjiang, he still wanted stability. Huang Li had laughed at him, but he never expected that Lu Jiang would be doing well now and join the big boss.
Knowing that he is good, I won't be envious. After all, with Huang Li's character, it is simply impossible to serve others as a bodyguard for a long time.
"Dajiang, just this once, I will sew my mouth shut from now on. You also know that I will die. Money is something you earn and you spend it. If you enjoy it, my life will be worthwhile."
Lu Jiang knew very well what Huang Li meant. He was willing to look for him because he knew that the other person was a person who lived a happy life. This was only the first time, and he would do it again in the future.
"You really don't care?"
Huang Li did not express his determination at the first moment, but snorted disdainfully: "So what if you care? Find a woman to get married, have a child, and live for the sake of your family for the rest of your life? Or should you continue to be carefree now and wait till your fifties or sixties? I can’t do anything at the age of 10 and am now a lonely old man in poverty? I am thirty-five this year. If I can live as leisurely and as I want for another ten years, I will be satisfied.”
】
Before Lu Jiang could speak, he coughed twice. He played for so long yesterday and smoked too many cigarettes, which made his throat uncomfortable.
"Let's go. If you need anything in the future, come to me. The old rule is to send a message and I will reply to you within forty-eight hours. If there is an emergency, come to me directly."
He seemed to feel that if a person like him wanted to gain the trust of others, just expressing his position was meaningless. Huang Li didn't bother to say anything more. He opened the door and got out of the car. He knew that Lu Jiang would not play with him. The other party was now more than It is to keep oneself clean and to cut off all unstable factors with a single line of communication.
Haha, that kind of life is meaningless.
That night, Huang Li spent 5,000 yuan in a small karaoke bar on the famous song and dance hall street in the county, and became a big man in the eyes of a group of rouge fans. Precisely because they were not beautiful enough, they cherished being able to have more Opportunities to make money and willingness to pay more for better services.
Lu Jiang returned to Songjiang overnight. This was just a trivial matter. At best, it caused Mr. Li to lose face. It could also be regarded as a response warning given by Huang Li. Even if there was something wrong with Huang Li, whether it was laxity or other It doesn't hurt to be involved in this matter after committing a crime. Mr. Wei is not a person who follows the rules to begin with, and as for him, things will inevitably come to an abrupt end when it comes to him. Even if his identity as a person close to Mr. Wei is implicated, it will only go so far.
Lu Jiang didn't know what other people were thinking. He himself was a grateful person, especially after being cheated by the boss who he had loyally followed before. The frustration of the collapse of his worldview had made him depressed for a while. Lu Jiang gave up on himself. After returning to his hometown, his parents' tolerance and warmth prevented him from completely falling into a violent state.
He has always been a fool since he was a child. He has been out and about for so many years and still has accomplished nothing. When he came back, he punched a few people with his fists. No one said anything in front of him. The comments behind his back were enough to make his parents live in whispers of criticism. , but did they say anything?
When he and Wei Tao started, they just wanted to make some money to leave to their parents. Over the past few years, the changes in their family were beyond his imagination.
When I first went out with the big boss, I once thought that if I succeeded, how about coming back?
At that time, I felt that my fantasy was the best, but now I realize that I was short-sighted. A truly higher and better life is right in front of me. Now I already have it, and my parents have become the backbone of the village. The straightest person.
People in the village and relatives at home have all joined the Anshun Group. With the existence of a person like me who does not have any official position but can be respected by all branches from top to bottom, relatives at home have received a certain degree of care.
He has been an honest person all his life. He has always caused trouble for the family by fighting since he was a child. In those years, his father actually nodded and bowed to others. But now it is different. When choosing the village chief, his father has the highest voice. Now he wears one every day and looks very handsome. Wearing a learned hat and glasses, and always carrying a pen in his pocket, he will be respected by others wherever he goes with his hands behind his back.
Every time Lu Jiang returns home, his neighbors and relatives gather around him, fully embodying what it means for one person to achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Lu Jiang has passed the age of Piao, and he has the experience of being able to resist being unable to control his heart. He knows who he should be grateful to. His heart, which had been hurt once, has rekindled the desire to die for his confidant. I am not very capable. , I only have these more than 100 kilograms of energy. If the boss needs it, I will contribute it anytime and anywhere. I believe that even if I am gone, the boss can take good care of my family.
Returning to Songjiang and No. 1 Anshun Street, the car drove in, walked to the side door, and saw Zhu Xichun drinking with He Shengli. He waved through the window and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor was quiet, with only the corridor lights that passed through various areas on.
He took out his mobile phone and made a call to his boss at the stairs from the sixth floor to the seventh floor.
"Come up here."
The door to the study upstairs is open.
The study has two doors. One leads to the public area on the seventh floor, not far from the stairs. You can see it when you come up. The other leads to the master bedroom. The outside door is closed. This is a study in the suite of the master bedroom. If you open it, It is two rooms with the master bedroom.
Wei Tao was sitting on the sofa reading information. Lu Jiang walked in and subconsciously glanced at the door leading to the master bedroom. The door was also open, and he quickly looked away. Facing the boss's wife, he and even Zhu Xichun and others gave him the highest level of respect, especially Gou Chunzi. Although sometimes he and the boss were no different, he faced several women who had the status of 'proprietress' at the same time. Zhu Xichun, like all employees, maintains a respectful distance and will never try to get closer to each other in any way for any reason, even if they were classmates and are now superiors and subordinates.
"Whatever you want to drink, get it yourself." Wei Tao raised his chin and motioned for him to get it from the refrigerator.
Lu Jiang quickly walked to Wei Tao: "He's back."
Wei Tao raised his head: "Mr. Lei called me."
Lu Jiang was just reckless, but he was not stingy, and his brain was not inflexible. He had been exposed to Wei Tao in the past few years, and he might be worse in other aspects, but he still learned the ability to be obedient and listen to what was said.
"Huang Li can consider long-term use."
Wei Tao nodded, as if his attention was attracted by the information in his hand again. After a moment of confusion, he realized that Lu Jiang was still there: "Uh, whatever you want to drink, you can get it yourself."
"I'll go down and have a drink with Gou Chunzi and Lao He." Lu Jiang won't stay here too long. Nothing else. The seventh floor is the private space belonging to the boss and his wife. Although they sometimes come up, he will pay special attention to the private space of the boss and his wife. Sometimes you dress very homely, and if you don't pay attention to it, if it offends you, then it's better to eliminate this possibility directly.
After Lu Jiang left, Wei Tao raised his head and put down the information in his hand. His brows wrinkled slightly as he thought about the problem. He picked up a cigarette and lighter on the coffee table in front of him and lit one. In the smoke, he showed a thoughtful expression. The thing is that he is far from being as yundanfengqing as he seems on the surface.
He doesn't use people like Yao Xuejun, Qiao Xinhua and Zhu Feng now if he can. He won't stop contacting them, but he will keep a certain distance. This is a deterrent. If there is something that needs to be done, he will never approach them.
To be truly useful, one or two are enough. A group of reckless men can do no more than do bad things. Once they become arrogant soldiers, everyone from top to bottom will feel that they are awesome and want to make money and change their lives. They What can you do? In addition to squeezing others and using violence to obtain extraordinary results, there is no other way. In the end, it's not that Wei Tao can't control it. It's probably that Zhu Feng and others can't control it either. Even the subordinates directly under them can't control it. They go down one level at a time, and the people on each level can't be fully recognized. But outside, They all followed Brother Tao.
Many people have reminded me, and Wei Tao himself knows that this kind of thing cannot be done, so from the very beginning, he did not give them the opportunity to truly rely on him. You are the boss, you are the boss, you set up your own company, come to me, we We are friends and have a strong relationship. I will introduce some businesses to you. Whether you do it well or not is your own business.
The three of them are separated by the door, not to mention the people below. They know that there is an elder above them, but the boss and elder brother they recognize are only these three. When doing something or signing up for a number, This is also the font size reported.
After breaking up early, Cao Haiyang and Yan Bo not only told Wei Tao that after seeing him doing well, they were more willing to have more contact with him and do other things together. The game arcade was the best proof. In this relationship, there is Cao Xiyu between Cao Haiyang and Wei Tao, but she is not the main one; there is Cao Haiyang between Yan Bo and Wei Tao, and the progress of the relationship does not have much to do with him.
Everyone has their own friendship, and whether they are comfortable getting along with each other does not depend on who introduced them or who stands in the middle, but whether they can find a point of deep agreement with each other.
Two people came to Songjiang some time ago, which gave Wei Tao a new judgment and understanding of some dark methods. The past is the past. If you think it is powerful, you can be intimidated; set up a security company and train the best security personnel. You can protect yourself and your family.
But sometimes, you will inevitably have a moment when you want to do something impulsive and dirty. Who will do it? It's not a big deal if you endure it or comfort yourself for a while, it will probably pass.
But as a reborn person who has achieved corresponding success, Wei Tao is no longer the same Wei Tao who wanted wealth and freedom to enjoy life when he was first reborn. He has more ideas and more considerations.
Why should I comfort myself to endure uncomfortable things?
This was the only reason and it was extremely important, so he wanted to find one or two people who would do some dirty things for him. That's why Huang Li went to Yangcheng to give Mr. Li a warning.
Who is Rebus? He has gone through all kinds of complicated circumstances. He does not need evidence or conclusive facts. If he thinks it was you, Wei Tao, then you did it.
"Brother, you are out of anger, how about that?"
"Mr. Lei, I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I found a person in Yangcheng who had a problem with Mr. Li. I put this matter on the other person's head. I hope this matter will be known by now. He was wrong first, and I will look at him. Don’t let him do anything out of the ordinary.”
The next day, Wei Tao showed up at the security company again. Because he was busy with intermittent training, he asked He Shengli to help him and Zhu Xichun Lu Jiang formulate a complete training plan. He was neither completely focused nor He stayed at the training ground around the clock and spread out a plan that would require six months of training for someone he thought was qualified, into one year.
The three of them got this one-year training plan and the corresponding compliance standards.
