Qin San grabbed a handful of hair and said: "The money is not much, I estimate five to six hundred thousand!"
That was pretty much what he had predicted before.
Such a small amount of money should be nothing to either Qin San or Long Dao. In fact, when Xu Shi saw the little money in the cash box that day, he had a moment of doubt in his heart, but the situation at that time did not allow him to think too much. Later, the situation changed again and again, and the matter was forgotten. . When Qin San said this, his doubts emerged again.
He looked at Qin San, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "What was your purpose in getting involved in this business in the first place? It couldn't really be for the five hundred thousand, right?"
Qin San probably really trusted him. Hearing his question, he explained without hesitation: "Fifty million is nothing! What I am interested in is the business on the few lines in Long Dao's hands. These lines Xia Hapu's business has always been in charge of Xia Hapu's business. Now that Xia Hapu is gone, it is not easy for Long Dao to find someone to take over temporarily. If he manages it all by himself, he will definitely not be able to take care of it. So, I I just wanted to test his attitude and see if I could get a piece of the pie! I didn’t expect that the bastard Long Dao had such a dark heart that he would even trick one of his own!"
Xu Shi has been following Long Dao for some time. Although Long Dao has always been on guard, based on the information he obtained about the Tower Gang before coming here, plus what he heard and experienced during this period, it is not difficult to Guess what kind of business Qin San said those lines of business are.
In this area of the northwest, the arms smuggling business has been rampant in recent years. The border here is long, and the ecological environment in most places is very poor. It is unrealistic for border troops to station and patrol for a long time, so there are bound to be loopholes. If there are loopholes, they will be spotted by some thoughtful people and exploited.
After years of operation, the Ta Gang has mastered several relatively safe routes across the border in the northwest, and has successfully mastered the lifeblood of the smuggling gang.
They make a lot of money by being middlemen.
Of course, the business of the Tagang does not stop there. The Tagang, which made its fortune through smuggling, is now a big business and is even more deeply rooted in the northwest. Nowadays, several well-known large companies in the northwest area have the shadow of the Tower Gang behind them.
This is why the higher-ups knew the existence of this big cancer of the Tower Gang, but they never eradicated it. In fact, it moves the whole body.
The tentacles of the Ta Gang have penetrated into all walks of life in the northwest. If they are pulled out at once, it will inevitably bring turmoil to the economy in the northwest. The northwest is located on the border and has many ethnic minorities. It has always been a place where various foreign forces are active. Once there is turmoil here, it is very likely that foreign forces will take advantage of it, leading to more serious consequences.
Therefore, the higher-ups wanted to figure it out slowly, so one after another unknown people were silently sent here, dormant, waiting for one day to break out of the ground.
However, whether we can wait in the end depends on fate.
Xu Shi was thinking about it and his thoughts went astray. Qin San next to him saw that he was suddenly distracted and waved his hand in front of his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Qin San asked.
Xu Shi came back to his senses, quietly suppressed all the emotions he shouldn't have, then turned to look at Qin San and asked him: "Based on what happened this time, what do you think Long Dao's attitude is?"
Qin San curled his lips and said, "I can't tell. This bastard is so deep in the city, he's so easy to play with the real and the real!" As he said that, he suddenly sighed again: "What I can't stand the most is his behavior. It’s a set!”
Xu Shi smiled and said, "If you believe me, just give him the 30% of the money!"
Qin San was stunned: "Why?"
Xu Shi did not answer his question, but just said: "Before you give him the money, make a condition with him."
After Qin San was stunned again, he quickly realized what the conditions Xu Shi mentioned were. His eyes lit up immediately and he said: "Brother, you are still smart! Why didn't I think of it!"
Xu Shi smiled and reminded him: "Don't be too greedy when talking to him. Let him take the big part. You just need to get a share of it!"
Qin San nodded hurriedly: "I understand! Thank you, brother!" After saying that, he stood up hurriedly: "I will send him money now!"
Xu Shi didn't stop him. After watching him leave, the emotions he had suppressed before gradually came back.
He is one of them now.
If one day he dies here, no one may ever know his real name. And those friends thousands of miles away may never know where he went, what he experienced, and when he died.
He may always be known as a murderer, and then, a few years later, he will be gradually forgotten and die completely.
Xu Shi never thought of himself as a patriotic or righteous person. But why did he agree to Kong Zhendong in the first place?
Obviously at that time, Kong Zhendong no longer had any bargaining chip in his hand to attract him. My brother has been found, and the murderer is dead. Although he didn't die in his hands, he was still dead. It seems that everything has been settled, so what made him agree to Kong Zhendong?
He has thought about this question countless times over the past six months, but he has never been able to find an answer.
Maybe he won't be able to find it until his death.
Taxi walked out of her room and saw Xu Shi sitting there, looking down at the tea cup on the stone coffee table in a daze. After hesitating for a moment, he came over.
"Brother, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Taxi stood beside him, carefully looked at his face, and then asked.
He vaguely noticed that Xu Shi's mood seemed not to be good.
But after he finished speaking, when Xu Shi looked up, the negative emotion he felt from him just now disappeared, disappeared without a trace, and turned into the person who always made it unclear what he was thinking. , always makes people think that he should be hiding a lot of secrets, a person who seems to be fearless about everything.
"You can order whatever you want to eat, and I can do it." Xu Shi replied.
After Tassie said oh, she excused herself to order takeout and walked away.
Xu Shi looked down at the cold cup of tea on the table again. He didn't know how long it had passed before there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xu Shi looked up and saw an acquaintance standing at the door who he had met several times before. He was a subordinate of Long Dao. Every time they met, he would call him Brother Dongyang with a smile.
This time, he did the same, smiling and shouting at him: "Brother Dongyang!"
Xu Shi nodded towards him and said, "Come in and talk."
He stepped in and placed a thick paper bag on the stone table in front of Xu Shi: "Here is 150,000. Mr. Dao asked me to deliver it."
Xu Shi reached out to open the paper bag, then counted out fifty thousand and pushed it in front of him, saying: "Take back the extra fifty thousand..."
"Brother Dongyang, Master Dao is actually outside the alley..."
When Xu Shi heard this, his brows moved slightly.
Now that Long Dao is here, he naturally has something to say. Even if you have something to say, why not come in directly, or let this person speak directly?
Being secretive can only mean that Long Dao hasn't figured out what to say yet.
This hesitant style is not quite like Dragon Blade's style.
Xu Shi hesitated for a moment and then made his decision. He picked up the fifty thousand, stood up, and walked out.
Long Dao's car was parked on the street at the entrance of the alley. Seeing Xu Shi coming out, the back seat window was lowered.
Long Dao looked out.
Xu Shi walked over, handed over the fifty thousand yuan, and said, "What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Dao?"
Long Dao glanced at the fifty thousand and didn't shirk it. He took it and threw it on the seat inside. Then, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Shi, his earnest and probing eyes seeming to want to penetrate into the depths of Xu Shi's soul.
Xu Shi looked at him openly without flinching.
"Taxi's matter was your fault, right?" Long Dao asked.
Xu Shi smiled and said, "Yes or no, you caught Taxi. So, does it matter?"
After Long Dao was stunned for a moment, he also smiled: "That's true! Then I wish you a bright future!"
"Thank you Dao Ye for your kind words!" Xu Shi responded.
After Long Dao took another deep look at him, he mistakenly looked at his subordinates not far behind him and waved him to get in the car.
Xu Shi took two steps back and watched his car drive away before returning to the courtyard.
