In the dark corner.
Boss Jin, who was also skinny, sat slumped in the corner. The alloy chains on his hands were clearly visible. His paralyzed lower limbs had shrunk to the point of being out of shape, and his whole body was covered in blood.
Although he no longer has the glamorous appearance of the past, his eyes are still extremely sharp.
"Haha, what a joke."
He shook his head weakly.
Boss Jin smiled miserably and sighed softly: "That's just face given by friends in the world. Today, the Jin brothers have long been a pair of prisoners. They no longer have the financial resources and power they once had. The so-called big shots are not as powerful as the real ones." In my eyes, it’s just a joke.”
Once at the top of "Fengdu", the Jin brothers were definitely the leaders in the underground world of this fortress city.
Not only does it operate several large-scale casinos, but its underground dueling venues were once popular all over the country, making money every day.
But that's exactly why.
The two brothers formed a relationship with Jia Qing. With the help of Xue Yun and Zhao Tianyi, who were just starting out, they finally kicked out Jia Qing, who coveted their own family business.
Originally everything was fine.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, the Daxia Empire fell into civil strife, and Chen Jingshan became the top leader in Fengdu, holding most of the power of life and death.
The economy collapsed and businesses withered.
The King Brothers' casino and all its entertainment venues were ordered to close overnight.
As Chen Jingshan's nephew.
Jia Qing is even more arrogant and domineering than before. In order to avenge the two brothers, he directly ordered their accounts and all personal assets to be searched.
To avoid this plague.
The Jin brothers had no choice but to take all their property and sneak out of the city overnight, trying to leave Fengdu, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.
But what they don’t know is——
All of this was actually within Jia Qing's plan. He had already sent people to ambush at the exits of the major city gates.
Not only did they block the two brothers' path, but they were also charged with treason and collaboration with the enemy.
The dragon is trapped in the shallows and is teased by shrimps; the tiger falls on the plain and is bullied by dogs.
So far——
The Jin brothers completely lost power in Fengdu, all their properties were confiscated, and a huge amount of wealth was annexed by Jia Qing. The two were even thrown into the prison of the War Readiness Department, becoming prisoners who could be bullied by everyone.
"Boss Jin, there seems to be a lot of resentment in these words?" Wei Yuanqing said deliberately.
"resentment?"
Grinning.
Boss Jin raised his head and looked at the man in white robe outside the cell, his eyes flashing with unwillingness and pride.
"It was true at the beginning, but at this point, Kim has already thought about it."
"As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials..."
He pondered for a moment.
Boss Jin raised his head and let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Back then, the two of us brothers were only focused on making money, thinking that we could sit back and relax with wealth. Looking back, we were totally wrong!"
Beside the ear.
Echoing Boss Jin's bitter laughter, Wei Yuanqing remained silent and stood in front of the cell, not stopping the other party from continuing to speak.
“They say money is everything, but what’s the use of having more wealth?”
His eyes are as bright as a torch.
Although he is just an ordinary person and even suffers from a disability, Boss Jin in front of him is still domineering. He said with a deep smile: "In the face of power and strength, no matter how much money you have, it is nothing but bullshit. I want you to have a baby." Even if you live, even if you die, no one can save you..."
Gritting his teeth secretly.
Jin Shijie on the side lowered his head and said nothing. The iron rope that penetrated his body made him feel extremely humiliated.
Just as Boss Jin said.
It was just an unfounded charge, and the Jin brothers, who had huge wealth, were persecuted to this extent by Jia Qing.
At least in the Daxia Empire, no matter how rich you are, you will never feel safe.
He monopolizes power and despises all living beings.
The so-called superiors only need to move their fingers to suppress them at any time. The only difference between the Kim brothers and ordinary people is that they have the added value of being rich enough.
"I regret it..."
He shook his head silently.
Boss Jin's expression was full of self-mockery, and he lamented: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Shijie and I do the casino business together in the first place. I believe that with his talent, after joining the War Readiness Department, he will definitely achieve something in time." , otherwise, we two brothers would not have ended up like this."
One is in business and the other is in politics.
This was originally one of Boss Jin's plans back then. Unfortunately, his younger brother Jin Shijie was exactly the same as Xue Yun and was unwilling to be threatened by the authorities, so he followed Boss Jin to fight in the world and created valuable wealth.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking to this guy about?"
The grumpy Jin Shijie gritted his teeth and tried to rush forward again, but was trapped by the iron rope. He yelled hoarsely: "You son of a bitch from the War Readiness Department, if you have the ability to kill me directly, at worst, you will be killed again twenty years later." He is a good man, even if I am a ghost, I will not let that bastard Jia Qing go!"
"I'm afraid you two don't know yet..."
He looked at the two brothers in the cage with cold eyes.
Wei Yuanqing raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Master Jia was ordered to go to conquer Longdu, but he failed before the battle. Not only did he suffer a disastrous defeat, but he was also captured alive by the other party's people. Now he has become a hostage of the Hu family, but he is with you. The same, the same prisoners in the hands of others."
As soon as these words came out.
The two people in the cage were slightly startled, and it took a while before they suddenly came to their senses.
"Hahahaha, good, very good!"
He threw his head back and laughed wildly.
Jin Shijie's hair was messy, and he instantly released the grievances he had been holding back for the past few years. He laughed loudly and said, "God is wise. It's a pity that that bastard was not allowed to die on the battlefield. I am really happy!"
Compared to Jin Shijie's madness.
Boss Jin in the corner narrowed his eyes, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
"I heard before that Longdu has not been having a good time these past few years. The talents under its command have withered, and they are even coveted by many forces."
He straightened his limp body.
Boss Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "Although Jia Qing has no ability, he is by no means stupid. He is especially good at observing words and emotions. Judging from his approach, he will never fight an uncertain battle."
His eyes widened violently.
Boss Jin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Could it be that that person is back?"
"That's right."
Smile slightly.
Wei Yuanqing nodded with slight appreciation and said bluntly: "The Longdu Divine Martial Body returned strongly, defeated the army with one person, and captured Jia Qing alive in the chaos. It is really amazing."
"Xue Yun..."
The Jin brothers couldn't help but look moved, and the two Jin brothers chanted the name in unison.
A dozen years ago.
It was Xue Yun and Zhao Tian who helped them win back their shares in the underground arena through gambling.
At that time, Xue Yun was just a newcomer, but his combat power was already outstanding.
Times have changed.
Originally, everyone thought that Longdu's Shenwu Ti had already died on the northern border. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Xue Yun came back with force and saved Longdu from the crisis of the building's collapse.
"Haha, that's it."
It was as if everything was understood instantly.
Boss Jin's hands were hung high by the iron ropes, but his shoulders trembled involuntarily.
"Presumably Shima comes here just because he wants to visit us brothers, right?"
"It saves worry when you deal with smart people..."
Wei Yuanqing sighed, thinking of the powerful and aristocratic families in the War Readiness Department, he couldn't help but feel sick.
"I came here today to give you two a chance to have a new life, and also to give myself a chance to prosper."
There was a pause.
Wei Yuanqing spoke eloquently: "I know that the two of you once had a relationship with Longdu Shenwuti. It is said that this person is a man of temperament, especially the old friendship. Therefore, I hope that you two can come forward and help." I’m here to help.”
Smile slightly.
Seeing that the two brothers were silent, Wei Yuanqing continued: "Wei can assure you that as long as the purpose of this mission to Longdu is achieved, all the previous unpleasantness will be wiped out. Not only that, I can also ask Chen The minister recommends two of you to join the War Preparedness Department and embark on an official career..."
"Rather than waiting for death here, why not come with me? It's too much to say that you have done meritorious service. At the very least, you can have a bright future. Isn't it a hundred times better than staying in this dark cell?!"
"Director Wei, you are serious."
He sighed.
Before Jin Shijie could speak, Boss Jin said with a wry smile: "It's rare that you think highly of us brothers. We really have no way out. I just hope that Director Wei can remember today's promise and don't let Jin down." Just trust me.”
Hit the nail on the head.
Wei Yuanqing nodded silently, but with just a few words he subdued the two brothers in the cage to serve him.
With their help, at least he can play the emotional card in front of Xue Yun without being at a loss.
As for the prison cell.
Sitting paralyzed in a dark and damp corner, Boss Jin stared deeply at the confused Jin Shijie, then silently shook his head, indicating that he would wait and see what happened and try not to say anything more.
