Summer 1979.
The sea east of HK Putai Island.
The night was dark, the sea breeze was howling, and the waves were surging.
Accompanied by the monotonous sound of rushing water, a twenty-meter-long fishing boat continued to rise and fall with the waves.
The motor stopped and the lights on the top of the cab were not turned on. From a distance, it looked like a ghost ship.
This picture remained still for almost fifteen minutes. The red light came on in the north, one short and two long flashes several times. The light on the top of the fishing boat's cab was turned on, giving three short and one long signals in response.
Almost two minutes later, the sound of a motor was heard, and a white speedboat quickly approached the fishing boat moored on the sea, leaving a rapidly spreading white behind. .
Soon, the speedboat stopped on the starboard side of the fishing boat, and four people came to the deck of the fishing boat.
There were people waiting in front of the cab. If you include those standing at the stern looking out, there were the same four people. The leader was wearing a floral shirt, with a pair of sunglasses stuffed in his chest pocket, and his slicked-back hair was combed quite a bit. Brother style.
The short one among the four people who came off the speedboat had a crew cut. I don’t know if he dyed it deliberately or just by brainstorming. He had a lot of white hair, which was quite eye-catching.
It was obvious that the two parties were old acquaintances. As soon as they met, the big guy and the short guy hugged each other affectionately.
"Brother Long, I've been waiting for a long time."
"No, little brother Bei has gained weight since the last time we met."
"Eat well. You know, a group of pretty girls came from the north. They wanted to make up for themselves, but they ended up gaining weight. It will be difficult to lose weight."
"I heard the north side is doing well."
"Yeah, are you interested in staying in HK for two days? I'll take you there to have a look and take a dip in the water."
"I have to go back to Penang after finishing this order. Let's talk about it later." Brother Long glanced back and made a gesture. At this time, a boy came over with a bag. He took it in his hand, patted it and handed it out: "They're all good stuff."
Brother Xiao Bei opened the zipper, took out a bag of goods, opened it with a knife, rolled a little white powder on the tip of his tongue, tasted it, and nodded: "Good goods."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person behind Brother Bei came forward and sent the suitcase out.
Click~
The buckles on both sides opened, and what appeared in front of you were stacks of U.S. dollars.
Brother Long picked up a bunch of them, raked them through with his hands, threw them back, and clicked the lid of the suitcase: "No problem, deal done."
Both sides smiled tacitly, saying nothing.
At this moment, a strange noise was heard under the water, and the fishing boat shook. Everyone was unsteady on their feet and could not help but sway.
Brother Long looked at the stern of the boat and shouted: "What's going on?"
The lookout told him that the cabin seemed to be filled with water and was sinking.
"You bastard, dare to plot against me?"
After saying that, he quickly backed away and at the same time took out the pistol on his waist.
The fishing boat took on water and the speedboat was fine. He took it for granted that it was Brother Bei who did it. After all, it was normal to be betrayed by a brother in this kind of business, let alone a partner. God knows if the other party was related to the person who wanted to replace him. conspiracy.
Brother Xiao Bei is also a person who has seen the world. Although he doesn't know what is going on, he knows one thing very well. Now is not the time to explain. He quickly grabs the bag with the goods, grabs the side of the ship and jumps down. When he got on his speedboat, he raised and pushed the motor, knocked the fishing boat away and fled north, regardless of whether his younger brother could keep up or whether he was dead or alive.
For people like him, if the younger brother is gone, he can recruit more, but if the money is gone, there is nothing.
Brother Long ran to the back of the cab with his suitcase in his arms, and ordered the lookout to put down the lifeboat quickly while shooting forward.
Bang bang bang~
Bullets were flying on the front deck, and a man fell down on the bow of the ship. The blood gushing from his chest dyed the cable red.
"Are you deaf? Let me lower the lifeboat."
The fishing boat had begun to tilt, and it was necessary to grab something that could be grasped with hands to maintain balance. However, the boy behind him made no movement. Brother Long became anxious and looked back but did not see the figure of the lookout boy.
"Are you looking for the lefty from earlier?"
A stranger's voice sounded from the side.
Brother Long's heart trembled. He couldn't figure out how the other party got on the boat and how he got close to him. And judging from the meaning of the above sentence, it seemed that the watchman had been killed.
He turned his head sharply to look, but before he could turn his gun, a black shadow hit him. He felt his head was dull and he didn't know what was going on next.
The person who was hiding behind the bunker and shooting was completely unaware of what was happening behind him. Even the sound of heavy objects falling into the water was masked by the sound of bullets coming out of the barrel.
The fishing boat sank little by little.
At the moment when the gunfire stopped, the survivors of the gun battle found that the lifeboat was no longer usable, and their boss fainted at the stern of the boat. He was tied with a rope and kept from sinking into the water.
Twenty minutes later, when the HK Marine Police's speedboats surrounded the sinking fishing boat, under the searchlights, Brother Long and his younger brother were wearing life jackets and staying in the cold water, their faces turned pale from the cold.
at the same time.
On a reef less than 10 nautical miles away from the incident, Lin Yue took off his wet clothes and twisted them, then turned to look at the lights piercing the night sky in the distance.
It's okay to help the HK police catch drug dealers and get some reward money.
Well, it should be fine.
Anyway, it's not the first time.
He told Zheng Juan before that the money he paid to buy the courtyard house was the difference earned by him as a middleman. This was all to appease his wife. Anyway, it was difficult for her to break this lie with her knowledge. The real situation was that he had used the money secretly. Come on, after all, the pricing mechanism has not been reformed in 1978, and transferring things from Hong Kong to the mainland is a trivial matter, and there is no chance of being a middleman.
As for Hong Kong, in 1978, under the British government in Hong Kong, pornography, gambling and drugs were rampant, and gangsters engaged in illegal business were used as cash machines. He did not feel any psychological pressure at all.
"It's been 79 years..."
Lin Yue took out a cigarette from the system space, lit it, put it to his mouth and took a puff.
Over in Jichun City, Jishan Hall has been officially opened. It is temporarily run by Uncle Ding's niece. A lot of people have been recruited from the engineering team. In order to bring out the apprentices as much as possible, Uncle Ding will do some jobs even if he can't make money. Accept any money.
HK has already found partners and opened an investment company. It will only wait for the establishment of the special zone in one year before it can be fully promoted.
After smoking a cigarette, he threw away the cigarette butt, then dove into the water and swam towards Putai Island.
…
3 months later.
Guangzhou.
In the room on the far left side of a building.
Luo Shibin took out two goblets from the cabinet and walked to the sofa opposite the water flow to sit down. He hugged a young girl with some baby fat and kissed her hard: "I have to comfort you today. Come, France Most people, Brother Shui, won’t drink Bordeaux’s red wine.”
As he spoke, he poured half a glass of red wine into the goblet.
"Binzi, how is the goods?"
"What do you think?" Luo Shibin looked up at Shui Ziliu and said, "Twenty Sanyo 808s and four boxes of Teresa Teng tapes will arrive in Hong Kong early tomorrow morning."
"Hey, there are so many this time." Shui Ziliu was very happy when he heard this.
"That's right, this deal is thanks to Mengmeng." Luo Shibin put his arm around the girl's shoulders and shook her: "She is wild and smart, and I like her. I plan to marry her, what do you think."
Mengmeng looked unhappy and complained: "That's not what you said at home."
Luo Shibin laughed loudly: "Oh, yes, yes, I made a mistake. She planned to marry me."
Mengmeng then changed her expression and looked at him with a smile.
"Come on, Brother Shui, let's drink. Cheers to this deal, not... to my marriage to Mengmeng."
The three of them raised their glasses and clinked their glasses together, then drank up the wine in their glasses.
Luo Shibin found that Shui Ziliu was in a bad mood.
"Brother Shui, what's wrong with you? Looking at the unhappy look on your face, do you have any objections to my marriage to Mengmeng?"
"no."
Shui Ziliu said: "I found out about Qiangzi, and he went in again. This time he was sentenced to 14 years."
"Ah?" Luo Shibin glared: "I was still thinking of picking him up to live a good life together, why did I go in again?"
"He said he went to Beijing to find Zheng Juan and got into a fight with Zhou Bingkun. The impact was very bad and he was sentenced to a heavy sentence."
"No wonder he hasn't replied to us." Luo Shibin hammered the armrest of the sofa hard: "I will make Zhou Bingkun pay the price."
Mengmeng looked at this and that: "Who is Zhou Bingkun?"
Shui Ziliu sighed and did not answer the question.
On the other side, Liuhua Hotel on Huanshi West Road.
Lin Yue came down from the top with a black leather bag. He took two steps forward and stopped. He looked at a fashionably dressed woman sitting on the sofa in the hall and said, "Why don't you come up and find me?"
The woman turned around when she heard the question coming from behind, and smiled when she saw his face: "When I went up, I saw two Japanese people entering your room. I thought they must have business to discuss, so I didn't bother them. you."
