Few people know about the change in the Board of Directors. What everyone in Singapore and Malaysia knows is that on the night of August 25, big news happened.
But as of today, quite some time has passed.
Singapore and Macao, a small country that is isolated on the sea and has always been somewhat mixed in its governance policies, seems to have suddenly begun to learn the policies of China across the sea. Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it has learned extremely well in combating those lawless elements. severe.
In Liu Yaozu's Duck Blood Fan Shop, the morning, afternoon and evening news on the TV were all reporting on things related to the Tao Zhu Group for several days.
When he occasionally had free time in those days, he also listened to guests talking about this thing. Some people said that the weather was going to change, and some said how miserable the situation was in the building that day, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Some people think it's a good thing, except that the people from the Tao Zhu Group finally got their comeuppance.
When Liu Yaozu listened to them talking about this thing, he was sometimes excited and sometimes sad.
But after all, this matter is still far away from them. Whether the Tao Zhu Group's gang is there or not, it seems to have no impact on their own family.
What makes Liu Yaozu feel particularly comfortable and surprised recently is another thing.
On their street, it seems that those little gangsters are nowhere to be seen these days.
Those brats who looked at each other with disgusting eyes, after they changed their boss a while ago, they didn't know what they were doing. They actually came to their store and offered to help and take on some security responsibilities.
Although he was lazy most of the time and moved a stool to sit outside, Liu Yaozu was a little nervous whenever he made any movements.
I was afraid that the person wanted to steal money, or throw a dead rat into the duck blood vermicelli soup or something.
This time around, it was finally quiet.
In the evening, after dinner time, when the store became deserted, Liu Yaozu moved out a deck chair, took a cattail leaf fan, and sat at the door of the store to enjoy the cool air.
As I get older, I don't sleep much, and the weather is very hot. If I don't get more shade outside, I will toss and turn at night and I won't be able to sleep.
In fact, there is an air conditioner at home, but Liu Yaozu didn't remember where he had seen it before, saying that it was the wind blown by the air conditioner, not natural wind, and it was easy to get sick.
When it was really hot at night, he would only turn on the electric fan.
There is a sidewalk in front of the store, a green belt further away, and the main road beyond the green belt.
The light from the street lamps mixed with the light from the shop fronts on this street, making it very bright.
Liu Yaozu sat for a while, then pulled up the recliner and approached his old friend playing chess over there.
A few people were playing chess and chatting.
"Eat your horse."
Lao Wang captured a chess piece and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I saw the second son of Lao Ma's family two days ago."
The man who had been taken away from the chess piece frowned and asked casually: "Which old horse?"
Lao Wang only wore a white vest, pointed at his hands and face, and then made a crooked mouth gesture.
A few old friends said clearly: "Oh, that colorful horse dick with stickers on his hands and face."
Liu Yaozu remembered that a few times before, that man Ma Laoer came to his store to collect protection money. His attitude was relatively good. At least he didn't stab his counter with a knife, so he asked: "What's wrong with him?" Was he beaten?"
"No."
"Hit someone?"
"No."
Lao Wang waved his hand and said, "I saw him working as a lifeguard at the beach. Oh, his hands and face were all washed clean, and there was only a layer of green stubble on the top of his head. If it weren't for his crooked mouth, Yeah, I almost didn’t recognize it.”
Liu Yaozu said in surprise: "By the way, Lao Ma and his family are all good at swimming, but it's not easy to be a lifeguard. How has he found a way?"
Lao Wang recalled and said: "It's said that they are the ones who arrange employment in some kind of company, and there are people from all walks of life. Haven't you noticed that those street gangsters have stopped wandering on the streets recently?"
"Is there such a good thing?"
Several people around him became curious and asked Lao Wang to tell more. Lao Wang didn't know much, so he shook his head and continued playing chess.
Liu Yaozu said to himself: "Is there such a good thing in a gang?"
"The Shenzhou Jieyi Society is not a gangster."
There was a young voice next to him who interjected.
Liu Yaozu looked back.
There is a barbecue restaurant over there, which becomes more and more lively at night, and there are still several tables filled with people.
There were only two people sitting at the table where we were talking just now.
One was older, with some wrinkles at the end of his eyes, and a rather rigid expression. He was not an easy person to get along with at first glance. He was probably the kind of little supervisor who would deduct wages from his subordinates and force them to work overtime.
The younger one, on the other hand, looked like a college student. He was kind, good-looking, and even more gentle when he smiled.
Liu Yaozu was not a talkative person. Seeing that he was young, he wanted to give him some advice and then said: "Changing your name will make no difference. Otherwise, you still have to collect protection fees."
The young man got serious with him, frowned and said, "I heard that the Shenzhou Jieyi Society has canceled the collection of protection fees, and is also planning to set up a pension fund for the money you have paid over the years. No one came to inform you. ?"
Liu Yaozu was stunned for a moment and waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand: "You are a new trickster. If you have the skills, don't ask us for money this September."
The young man laughed: "Yes, take your time."
He raised a little beer in his glass, gave a distant salute, and drank it in one gulp.
Kong Qingyun on the opposite side also put down his chopsticks.
The two of them ate and drank enough and walked along the roadside.
Guan Luoyang said: "The people you recommended to me are really capable. They put all the idle guys in useful places so quickly."
Kong Qingyun said calmly: "The current structure of Singapore and Malaysia can already provide many jobs, but those big cancers have distorted the entire trend."
"I can assure you that after your Shenzhou Jieyi Club recently took over Tao Zhu's assets, even if it plans to reform so many things that seem to be losing money, it will still have a certain surplus when the settlement is completed at the end of the year."
Guan Luoyang smiled and said: "There is no businessman without treachery. I believe that those business wizards you recommended to me will not let Shenzhou Jieyi Club lose money."
"It's just that I have to say something up front. I don't want the person you recommend to me to be a profiteer who eats people without spitting out their bones within the so-called legal scope."
Kong Qingyun nodded: "These people actually have some difficult pasts, and I guarantee that they will not go too far. However, the essence of business is still to collect wool, and at most it can only achieve a superficial win-win situation. You will not even do this." Can’t bear it?”
Guan Luoyang was walking on the side of the road, stretched out, and said comfortably, "I'm not that picky."
The Xinma Port is just a small city. If you use numbers to express its area, it seems small. But if you are inside it, you will feel that this city, which can accommodate millions of people, is already very big.
Guan Luoyang never thought that he could create a unified world. Even in such a small place, he could only do what he was good at.
It's just that some cancers are so obvious that you don't need to look carefully to know where they are.
"Speaking of which, there is still no response from Shu's, Longxiang's, and Chaotianhui's companies recently?"
Guan Luoyang asked.
Kong Qingyun shook his head: "You have to see what kind of reaction it will be. If it is a revenge assassination against you, then there is indeed no action yet, but their main person in charge has disappeared recently."
The assets of these three major gangs are not a small amount. It is not easy to find the main leaders who leave their usual place of residence and hide in a random residence.
In this era, communication technology is becoming more and more advanced. No matter where they are, they can control the situation remotely without having to go to a fixed location to work.
Let alone retaliation, they first have to worry about whether Guan Luoyang will repeat the Tao Zhu Group incident.
Guan Luoyang thought for a while and said: "These people can make a gang of this scale, and they will not lack the ruthlessness in their bones. I don't believe they can really endure it. As long as there is an opportunity, these people will definitely take action." .”
"You want to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Kong Qingyun advised, "Then I think you don't have to rush for a while. Recently, my faction within the council has become more and more prominent. Several other communities have also cooperated with us and will try to suppress these three companies. If you can force them to be anxious, you will have a higher chance of catching them, and we will have a greater margin."
In the early morning of that day, it was Kong Qingyun who provided Guan Luoyang with a route map for those directors to escape, and also told Guan Luoyang who could stay.
This dual-identity leader of the security department, no matter which identity he holds, can ensure that he is not alone.
Guan Luoyang was also envious of his ability to efficiently select allies and support his followers.
Guan Luoyang agreed: "I do need some time to sort myself out."
Kong Qingyun asked curiously: "Are you sorting yourself out?"
Guan Luoyang asked back: "Who else could it be?"
Kong Qingyun glanced at his hand, showing an expression of sudden realization.
In such a fierce battle, it is impossible for any bionic machine to be unscathed. He was originally wondering who Guan Luoyang was looking for to repair it, and why there was no news at all?
It turns out that this man can repair Zhenling Machinery himself!
Alas, the way forward for transforming warriors is becoming more and more mysterious. It might not be surprising if one day someone can perform amputation surgery on himself.
However, according to the current trend of technological research, there should be a plug-in true spirit machine that does not require amputation.
Guan Luoyang had no idea how many strange thoughts were passing through the mind of the person walking with him.
Kong Qingyun's face is really deceptive. Except for the expression he made in excitement in the Tao Zhu Building, at other times he was basically like wood.
Only the people closest to the Ghost Crying Team can vaguely notice that their captain sometimes has very quick thinking.
After the two talked about some things that they should pay attention to, they went home separately.
Guan Luoyang has now moved to a little-known residence, and the environment is more tranquil.
After returning home, he didn't go to the basement. He sat directly in the yard and began to sort out what he had gained during this period in his mind.
After the Tao Zhu Group incident, Guan Luoyang collected some information on boxing creativity and mind skills from Fan Buchou and Liu Jingtang respectively.
There was something in it that inspired him.
Or it can be said that it was an analogy that allowed him to have a deeper look at his current abilities.
Tonight the moon is gone and the stars are shining.
The flowers, trees, orchids, and large white stones in the courtyard are arranged in an ancient Chinese style, which can make people relax faster.
Guan Luoyang didn't know how long he had been meditating. He stood up and walked on the cobblestone path among the bluegrass. He suddenly stopped and looked up.
The stars are all bright in the sky, clouds and mists are blowing from time to time, and the strong wind blows the nine layers of clouds, but there is only a gentle breeze on the ground.
Guan Luoyang's eyes gradually closed.
Everything is silent, the earth is silent.
Everything in the world seemed to be frozen, but his body was working tirelessly in this silence, bringing a true understanding.
He felt the planet spinning beneath his feet.
Thousands of mountains and seas are a whole, human limbs and bones, and the three treasures of spirit, energy, and spirit should always be coordinated, but the rotation of the earth also has an order.
Only by setting the order can we move forward better.
The completion of the four practices, Bluebird Yuan Qi, Mind Method, Jing, Qi, and Shen are all prepared, with Jing as the foundation, Qi as the use, and Shen as the head.
The Shangqiong Biluo Divine Skill should be able to accommodate more potential under the guidance of the mind method.
If one advances, all three advance together.
call--
Guan Luoyang exhaled slowly, raised his eyelids, and his eyes were as bright as cold stars for a moment.
He also needs more information.
Although the information provided by Liu Jingtang and Fan Buchou seems clear and more novel and advanced, after careful combing, it feels too one-sided.
On the contrary, it was the notebook given to him by Professor Jiang Si. Even though it contained many quotations from classics and old-fashioned things, it was at least comprehensive enough.
Guan Luoyang thought for a while, took out his phone and took a look.
It's past nine o'clock, so it shouldn't be too late.
I called Professor Jiang Si.
"Hi, Professor Jiang."
"Hey, President, it's me."
"Um?"
The person who answered the phone was one of the people Guan Luoyang sent to look after Professor Jiang.
"Why is it you, Professor Jiang?"
"There was an accident in his experiment, and we just sent the father and son to the hospital."
Guan Luoyang said: "Is it serious? Why didn't you notify me?"
The other side quickly said: "It's not serious, it's not serious. Although the instruments were destroyed, Xiao Jiang protected his father. I didn't expect that this kid was so strong. He could jump several meters away. Thanks to him, Professor Jiang was basically fine. It’s just that we have to do the final review just now, so we’ll leave the phone here for now.”
"Oh, he's out."
There was a different voice on the other end of the phone: "President Guan, thank you for caring. These people still insist on sending me to check. I'm really fine."
Guan Luoyang said in greeting: "As for experimental accidents, it's better to be careful. By the way, I heard that your instruments are broken. Do you want me to allocate money to buy a batch for you?"
Professor Jiang Si smiled and said: "No, no, the debt from last time has not been paid off yet. It doesn't matter if the instruments at home are destroyed. The instruments at the University of Singapore and Malaya are all in good condition. I don't ask them for money, I just borrow them." Once you get to the laboratory, you still have some face."
"I forgot to mention that the last debt should be forgiven in full. The value of that notebook is even more than that."
Guan Luoyang got to the point, "I would rather know who Professor Jiang Si's friend is, and how he can have such profound insights. I might as well send someone to investigate."
Professor Jiang Si hesitated and said: "This..."
"Isn't it convenient to say this?"
"No, it's just that he and I have similar interests, and we don't know much about anything else. Let me think about it..."
Professor Jiang Si seemed to be trying to recall, "Back then, Singapore and Malaysia were excluded from the alliance because there were too many Chinese. At that time, there was a trend in society."
"That is to say, we must fully accept the trend of Westernization. Only then will we be more advanced and it will be easier to deal with allies and the like. The first thing to do is to revise the children's textbooks and make English the first thing to learn. Things, Chinese characters and the like can be excluded.”
"Then, my old friend, who is a lover of Chinese studies and a professor at the Yanjing Institute of Elderly Health Care Arts, heard about this, so out of personal thoughts, he came to talk to the senior officials of Singapore and Malaysia and persuaded them to persist. Chinese culture.”
"Ah, by the way, actually, although I don't have his phone number, I still exchange some paper letters with him. I'll write a letter as soon as I get back and introduce you two to each other."
Guan Luoyang almost understood after hearing it halfway. Even if that kind of person really has a private number left outside, I'm afraid he can't leak it casually.
He stopped insisting and replied: "Thank you very much, Professor."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Luoyang dialed Lao An's number again and asked him to go down and collect relevant information through all channels.
After returning home, Guan Luoyang picked up the notebook. The signature on the last page of the notebook was still clear after many years.
——Yan Zhen.
