What’s the craziest thing
you’ve ever done? Coming out of the station in the
middle of the night, a woman in black stockings and heavy makeup came up to me. “Handsome boy, give me a light.”.
I lit the fire, but she said something to me that almost made me fall into the abyss. When they finally got out of the station, the men couldn’t wait to pick up their lighters and start lighting cigarettes, mixed with the cries of hawkers and the noise of children, and every few steps they could meet salesmen.
The sky is getting dark, the neon lights in the distance are flashing out one after another, and the whole city is a little more prosperous.
Handsome boy, give me a light.
A woman said out of the blue behind me. When
I looked back, I realized that she was a woman of about thirty years old, wearing heavy makeup, black stockings, a faint mole on her lips, and a plump figure.
I handed her the lighter, but she put her face to my hand. A strong fragrance came over. I lit the fire. She took a deep breath of the lady’s cigarette and smiled at me.
Here on business?
“” Yes. What do
you do?
Run sales, come here to meet customers. The
evening breeze, with its icy smell, lifted her white windbreaker slightly. She came a little closer to me, almost touching my ear, and asked in a low voice, “Do you want to go to the fire?”?
“I pretended to be shy and flustered and said to her,” What.. What do you mean?
Eight hundred yuan a night. It’s very cheap.
She saw my vacillation and seduced me with her eyes.
Ann.. Is it safe?
I rubbed my right hand with my left hand to show that I was at a loss.
Don’t worry, little brother.
She took me by the arm and walked straight to the hotel opposite the railway station. As she crossed the road, she gave a look to a man smoking on the side of the road. I saw all this in my eyes. I laughed in my heart, but my face was calm. When she
entered the room, she began to take off her clothes, and soon she was down to her underwear. I stared at her like an unworldly young man.
Boss, can you pay first?
The woman shook her hair and asked in a coquettish tone.
Good, good.
I quickly took out my wallet, took out eight hundred yuan and handed it to her. With a shake of my hand, the wallet fell to the ground, and a large pile of money was thrown out. The woman’s eyes lit up.
Boss, I’m going to take a shower first. Would you like to join me?
The woman simply stripped naked and looked at me from the bathroom door.
Nothing, I’ll wait for you.
“” What are you shy about. With a coquettish laugh,
she closed the bathroom door, and then she heard the sound of water hitting the floor. Does it take so long to
send a text message? Acting is too serious. I complained in my heart. I lit a cigarette and leaned on the pillow.
Ten minutes later, the woman came out, threw herself on me and began to kiss me. She slowly untied my belt with her hands. I was in a panic. Those people didn’t come. Did I really want to lose my virginity to this woman?
Fortunately, when the woman stripped me down to a pair of underwear, there was a violent knock on the door, and several men shouted at the door: “Open the door, open the door for me.”.
I froze in the same place, trying to put on my clothes, but the woman jumped out of bed and opened the door quickly. Four or five tall men came in angrily. The leader was a scarred face. Without saying a word, he waved his fist at me. I blocked it with my arm. When the men saw me and wanted to resist, they rushed over one after another. I jumped to the other side of the bed. Q: Who are you?
***, you little brat ate the courage of a leopard. Even my wife dares to do it. I’ll cut off one of your legs today. Scarface pulled a knife
from behind his back.
I raised my hand and put on a show of weakness. “Brother, is there a misunderstanding?”? S
car Face grabbed the ashtray next to it and threw it at me. I dodged sideways. The ashtray hit the wall with a loud noise. Scar Face shouted at me, Come here.
Elder brother, it’s easy to discuss something. There’s no need to use a knife or a gun.
“” What are you talking about? I’m going to destroy you today.
Scar face spits wildly, and the gang comes over step by step with a fierce look on their faces.
I’ll lose money, okay?
I took out my wallet and looked at him.
“All right, fifty thousand!” I don’t have that much cash on me, just over six thousand.
***, how dare you bargain with me? If you have no money, ask your friend to transfer money.
“” Well, I have something that’s worth more than money. Can you just take it?
I took something out of my bag and threw it straight at him. The scarred face picked it up from the ground and looked at it. It suddenly turned white. The four big characters “criminal police” on the certificate made them completely panic.
While I was getting dressed, the scarred face looked at me suspiciously and said, “Don’t ***ing scare me. Are you a policeman?”?
I looked straight at him. I’ve been watching you for more than a month, and today I finally caught you in the act. Seeing that
the situation was not good, Scar Face pulled the woman and tried to run away. Unexpectedly, the door was kicked open. Dazhuang and Linglong, as well as several bit players, rushed in wearing police uniforms. Dazhuang even had a simulated gun. Linglong asked me, Captain Zhou, would you like to take it back now or what? Our car is downstairs.
Scar Face seemed to be a different person. His face kept shaking. He crouched on the ground against the wall. His eyes were full of begging for mercy. The woman wrapped herself in a bath towel and trembled all over. I motioned to Dazhuang to go out first. I patted Scar Face on the head and asked, Actually, we’ve finished our task this month. It’s just easy to catch you. If.. Scarface grabbed my arm as if he saw a life-saving straw and said, “Captain, we are really first offenders. I promise I will never do these things again.”.
I stared at him. “Loosen up and behave yourself!” Scar face hurriedly let go of me and squatted back. I was silent for half a minute. This half minute was very important. Every second was a sharp pressure on their psychology. Just as they were about to collapse, I pulled the woman up.
Remember this card number. I’ll give you half an hour to transfer 200,000 yuan. When the money arrives, I’ll let them go on the way. If the money doesn’t arrive, I’ll catch you back and wait for you to go to prison.
I spread out the card in front of her eyes, and the woman’s mouth trembled. After remembering for a long time, she cried out.
I can’t recite it. The makeup on the
woman’s face was all blurred, like a ghost.
Shit, use your cell phone to write it down.
The scarred face crouched on the ground, cursing with hatred.
In the middle of the night, watching the men run out of the car in a panic, and one man even ran away with his shoes, Linglong burst out laughing.
Boss, has the money arrived?
Dazhuang asked me.
Here we are, go back.
I leaned against the passenger seat wearily, looking out of the window at the night scene flying by, and just wanted to have a good sleep.
The police card was fake, the police uniform was a prop suit, the SUV was rented, and the imitation gun was heavy, but it didn’t even have a magazine.
But the group of guys that the immortal jumped had already been frightened out of their wits, and how dare they distinguish the true from the false.
I’m a street hustler. Cheating is my only survival skill. There are many types of cheaters in
this world, the ancients are divided into wind, horse, swallow, bird, porcelain, gold, comment, skin, face, hanging.. The so-called wind refers to a gang committing crimes, like a swarm of bees going in and out together, specifically deceiving corrupt officials or wealthy businessmen who have done bad things, pretending to help them solve their problems, without too much scheming, because they are guilty of being thieves and will take the initiative to send money over, and when the money is in hand, it will disappear like the wind; The so-called swallows are those who specialize in using beauty to make a game. Sometimes women cheat men, and sometimes men cheat women. After cheating others into ruin, they swallow into the mountains and forests. The so-called gold is a swindler who pretends to be Mr. Yin and Yang. He says that when someone has a recent disaster, he can avoid it by paying money. If someone is dubious, he creates some accidents to make others believe, and finally spends a lot of money to buy “folk remedies.”; For example, porcelain, that is, touching porcelain, is a classic deception widely circulated in modern society. I’m unique. I only cheat the scum.
I was an orphan. When I was three years old, master picked me up. In the decades since then, I have learned all kinds of tricks from him. Before I died, master warned me that I had to believe in the cause and effect of the world. Nine out of ten swindlers would die a terrible death. In the future, if I made more money by swindling and did some good deeds, I would accumulate some virtues for the rest of my life, so that I would not end up too miserable.
Master s life proved this rule. When she was young, she became famous all over the world. She married a beautiful woman and gave birth to two children. As a result, her eldest son fell into the water and died at the age of five, and her youngest son, who was in his twenties, became addicted to gambling and was hacked to death by a loan shark. The master s wife could not stand the excitement and went crazy. She disappeared for decades and her life was uncertain. When she was old, only our group of worthless disciples died He was suffering from illness before he died.
I still remember when I was a child, master taught us deception. The first lesson was to take us to a big forest. She said that what a swindler needs most is keen observation. He needs to know all the details of a person (facial expressions, body movements, speed of speech, etc.) In order to judge whether that person has been deceived.
Master told us that there were 25 plastic balls of different sizes hidden in the woods, and whoever could find them all would pass the test.
Dazhuang was two years younger than me, and it took him a week to find the balls.
Linglong is a little faster. It took three and a half days. It
only took me two hours. Master was very satisfied and treated me to a good meal that night. When he was flushed with wine, I asked him if his record was the fastest. Master shook his head and said to me with a mouthful of alcohol, “There is another person who only took fifteen minutes.”.
“” How is that possible? In
fifteen minutes, you can’t even walk through the woods.
It’s true.
Master burped, with a smug expression on his face. The boy ran around in the woods and found two balls and handed them to me.
“” How does that count as passing?
I couldn’t help but retort.
Those two balls are the two most difficult to hide.
Master ignored my dumbfounded expression and snored on the table. The sound of
brakes brought me back to reality from my memories. Dazhuang jumped out of the car excitedly and said he was going to play mahjong with his friends. The boy was well-developed and simple-minded. He was really not a liar. I warned him not to gamble too much and to go up the stairs with Linglong.
As the saying goes, we rented five or six houses in this city. In order to avoid being cheated, I went directly to take a bath after opening the door. After taking a bath, I lay on the folding bed to watch the ball game. The two fat commentators had no passion. The slow tone was like hypnosis. After a while, I fell asleep. I
don’t know how long I slept, but I felt that there was one more person beside me, and I sat up like a conditioned reflex, scaring her to let out a cry of surprise.
It was Linglong, sleeping naked beside me, her face flushed. What
are you doing?
My tone was a little harsh.
Elder Martial Brother, I.. I like you, don’t you always.. Linglong lowered her head as if she had been scolded for doing something wrong when she was a child.
“Get dressed!” I leaned over and tossed her a T-shirt. I was only 16 years old when
master died. I brought up Linglong and dazhuang. I treated them like younger brothers and sisters. I never thought that Linglong would have such feelings for me.
I don’t.
Linglong actually stood up and walked across to me with a straight body.
Linglong was tall and fair-skinned, with long hair falling over her shoulders and a trace of sadness and anger in her big eyes. I suddenly realized that she was no longer the little girl with a ponytail who loved to eat ice-sugar gourds. She was a mature woman. Do
you know what you’re doing?
I know. I like you, Elder Martial Brother. I’ve liked you since I was ten years old. Master told you to bring us up before he died. You’ve always taken care of me and left me all the delicious food and good clothes. My heart has long been yours.
You are a man and I am a woman, not a real brother and sister, what can not be together?
Linglong came over, put her hands around my neck, and kissed my neck.
Are you ***ing crazy?
I pushed her away and shouted at her.
Linglong did not stand firm and fell to the floor, her knees bleeding. She looked up at me, tears rolling in her eyes. I took a deep breath to calm down and softened my tone. Under the
tea table, there is medicine for injuries. Go to bed early. You are my sister in my heart. I will always take care of you.
I put on my jacket and walked out the door, and there was a cry of grievance behind me. At the gate of the university campus in the
early morning, I watched young boys and girls coming in and out. As soon as the morning sun came out, the sun hit the ground through the leaves, and strange patterns appeared. A girl in plain clothes passed by me. After a few steps, she picked up something and turned to me. Is this
your wallet?
The girl, who was very handsome, asked timidly.
Right, right, right, thank you.
I made a surprise gesture of recovery.
You’re welcome.
She handed me her wallet and turned to walk toward the classroom.
Wait a minute. Why don’t I treat you to a meal as a thank you.
I ran after her and asked beside her.
I have to go to class. You’re welcome.
The girl nodded to me shyly, quickened her pace, and soon disappeared out of sight.
I put my wallet back in my pocket and laughed at myself. The occupational disease
of cheaters is that they can’t learn to trust others. It is estimated that they cheat too much and are afraid that one day they will be cheated. I watched
this girl, who was only two years younger than me, grow up. Her name was Wang Qiaoqiao. Her mother died of a serious illness early. Her father went to the city to work because he had a dispute with others over thousands of yuan. He killed someone’s wife by mistake and had to go to prison for decades. In a sense, she also became an orphan.
I followed master s advice and did some good deeds after cheating, so the girl s tuition and living expenses were anonymously subsidized by me. Every once in a while, I would come to see her and test her character in various ways.
The girl is a kind child who has never been tempted, and her performance makes me feel gratified.
Back in the middle of the city, there was a crowd of people in front of a department store. I leaned over to see an old man in his fifties, wearing a shirtless jacket, squatting on the ground and shouting. In front of him were three bowls. He said, “come and have a look, old and young men. Whoever catches the red melon seeds will make money.” A man wearing glasses asked, “What red melon seeds are you catching?”?
“The old man said,” It’s very simple. I put the red melon seeds in the bowl. If you guess which bowl it is, I will pay you double.
Then he took out a red melon seeds as a demonstration, threw it into the middle bowl, and then turned the three bowls around in ten seconds. It was obvious that he was skillful, and many people watching the scene of bustle were amazed.
Try it. The
old man smiled at us.
All right, I’ll take five. The man
with glasses took out five yuan and put it in front of the middle bowl.
All right, all right. One piece is not too little, one hundred is not too much. Is there anyone else who wants to bet?
The old man egged on the other spectators.
I’ll take five, too.
A sweaty fat man was pressing on the bowl on the left.
All right, let’s have a good start. Let’s see which man has a good eye.
The old man uncovered the bowls one by one. There was no bowl on the left, and there was no bowl on the right. The red melon seeds was covered in the middle bowl.
The fat man scolded, and the man with glasses happily took the ten yuan. The old man began to turn the bowl again, slowing down a little, and then shouted loudly to hold on to the bet. The people around him could not stand the encouragement. Many people took out their wallets one after another. Gamblers are always on the top. When they lose, they want to catch up with the capital. When they win, they want to win more. The old man’s business soon became very hot.
I’ll give you a hundred. After
watching ten rounds, I took out a hundred yuan and slapped it in front of the middle bowl. He’s very
heroic. The boss wants the old man to lose all his underpants today.
The old man flattered me, and when the others had made up their minds, he began to open the bowl, from left to right, red melon seeds in the right bowl.
“***!” I cursed ferociously and took out two hundred yuan. When the little old man finished turning the bowl, he still patted it in front of the middle bowl.
The little old man smiled at me with a hint of treachery in his eyes.
This time, the red melon seeds is in the left bowl.
The boss is a little angry today. Did he work hard last night?
The little old man made fun of me, and the people around him burst into laughter.
I won it back with one hand. I looked as if I had
lost my eyes. I took out a thousand yuan and patted it on the bowl in the middle.
The old man quickly turned the bowl, or dazzling technique, when he was about to open the bowl, I pressed his hand.
“Wait a minute. You’re a bad old man. I’m going to drive it myself!” I said out loud.
All right, all right, boss, drive it yourself.
The little old man drew back his hand with a smile.
“With the blessing of the God of Wealth, I’m sure to win this time!” I shouted pompously and uncovered the middle bowl. There was a noise
around, the black red melon seeds appeared under the bowl, the little old man’s eyes were almost staring out, hurriedly touched his left hand, and then his forehead was filled with cold sweat.
“Turn over the book!” I spread out my hands and asked the little old man for money. With an expression of swallowing a fly, the
little old man gave me a thousand yuan. I took the money with a smile and wanted to continue to press two thousand yuan. The little old man’s face turned white and he said to the spectators around him, “The old man has lost all his capital. Close the stall today, and the men who want to play will come back tomorrow.”.
The spectators at the top of the table shouted and cursed, and the old man bowed and apologized again and again, finally coaxing their temper down. After the
crowd dispersed, the bespectacled man and the fat man tried to rush over and hit me, but the little old man stopped them. The little old man’s tone was no longer glib, and his face was very solemn: “Haven’t you lost enough face?”?
This is a master who pours tea for others.
The fat man reluctantly poured a cup of tea and put it in front of me. I took a sip with a smile.
I’ve brought two worthless disciples here just to make a living. My little brother’s trick of stealing the sky and changing the sun is very handsome. I dare to ask who my teacher is? Asked the
little old man. I
‘m flattered, master. My master’s name is Wang Chien-chi.
The little old man had a jump in the corner of his eye. I guess everyone who ran in Jianghu in the last generation had heard of my master’s deeds. After I finished my tea, the little old man took out two thousand yuan from his pocket and said, I really offended you just now. My little brother, spare your hands and make way for us three.
“I put down my teacup and pressed his hand.” Don’t say that, old master. It’s the boy who is abrupt and ignorant. I’ll never play this kind of joke with you again. You can take back the money. All the people in Jianghu are trying to make a living. They have more friends and more roads.
I put on my coat and walked across the street. The little old man was still standing there. I guess he still didn’t understand how I stole the red melon seeds hidden in his palm without anyone noticing. The city news was broadcast on
TV. The son of a plutocrat was kidnapped to the mountains and forests. He survived ten days without rice and water by eating corpses. When he was rescued, he became mentally ill. He even bit his own brother to death in a mental hospital. The company’s share price fell for more than half a month, and many government officials were also involved.
Rich people’s world is really a mess, I sighed in my heart, put the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
Elder Martial Brother, change a cup of tea. This is from yesterday.
Linglong brought the teacup in front of me into the kitchen and began to boil water. After what happened
that night, Linglong seemed to be a different person. She dressed up beautifully every night and went to bars to hang out with all kinds of men.
The night before yesterday, she even kissed a foreigner downstairs, and the foreigner’s hands drifted restlessly on her body.
I walked upstairs without saying a word, and Linglong came up five minutes later with a red face and told me that it was her new boyfriend. When a
young girl is hurt, she always needs to be relieved. I understand. I just hope she can be careful not to be cheated by men.
Please, I am a liar. Those men should burn incense if they are not deceived by me.
Linglong answered me like this at that time.
Yes, I smiled with relief.
Linglong was shrewd from an early age. When she was a child, Master took us to a strange city, called a “lookout.” She didn’t give us a penny, so we could live there for a month and find a way to support ourselves.
Out of the instinct of survival, we used various means to cheat money. Dazhuang had no brains, so he wrapped his legs in black cloth and pretended to be a disabled child begging on the overpass.
Linglong looks clever. She said that she was lost with her parents. She borrowed money from the passers-by. She also wrote down the phone number of the money person very carefully. Her acting skills were vivid and emotional. The aunts and uncles paid for her one after another.
When I was twelve years old, in the name of child labor, I went to a box restaurant to help, and cheated the black-hearted boss to complain incessantly, a full twenty thousand yuan. When
master came to pick us up, we were all stunned. Unexpectedly, the three of us were self-reliant for more than a month, and we all gained two laps of weight. My elder martial brother, who I
had never met before, was the boy who had finished looking for a plastic ball in 15 minutes. It was said that he left master after the “lookout.” He was only 13 years old at that time, and master felt that she had nothing to teach him any more, so she let him go to Jianghu alone.
Before he left, he kowtowed three times to the master and said with a smile, “Master, lend me your Phoenix Jade Finger.”.
Master’s beard curled up in anger. “What a big appetite! I can’t give you this. This is the old man’s meal.”.
Phoenix is the cleverest mythical beast. No matter how big the disaster is, it can rise from the ashes again and again. It is the totem of our cheaters.
This phoenix jade finger wrench is a symbol that will only appear in the hands of the cleverest swindlers.
Don’t be so stingy. I’ll give it back to you after playing for a few years. Said
the boy with a cheeky smile. If
you really want it, take it if you can.
Master took off the jade finger wrench from her thumb and spread it out on her hand. Her eyes flashed with a flash of light, and she became very serious.
The boy stepped forward and said, “The disciple is not polite.”.
The boy quickly stretched out his left hand, and just before he picked up the jade finger wrench, the finger wrench disappeared into the palm of the master’s hand. The boy quickly went around behind the master and pulled out the master’s waist, but the finger wrench moved to an inexplicable place. The boy laughed and drifted around the master, and his eyes could not catch up with his figure. The praise in the master’s eyes grew stronger and stronger. A minute later, both men stopped their movements.
The master wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed angrily, “Get out of here, smelly boy.”.
The boy knelt on the ground, raised his hands to the finger wrench of the phoenix jade that he had somehow captured, and kowtowed his last head with tears of gratitude: “Thank you, teacher!” When talking about this, Master always sighed and expressed his praise in his own unique way: “That boy is really a born liar.”. What is
the Elder Martial Brother doing now?
With his talent, he must have become a big man.
It’s almost one o’clock. Why hasn’t Dazhuang come back yet.
Linglong put the hot tea on the tea table with a worried tone. Where did
he go?
I don’t know. I guess I went gambling again. After
several phone calls, Dazhuang’s cell phone was turned off. Somehow
, I felt a surge of irritability in my heart. I always felt that something bad was going to happen. It began to rain outside the window. I put on my coat and said to Linglong, “I’ll go out and look for it. You wait at home.”.
I’ll go with you.
Linglong put on her shoes quickly, and as soon as she opened the door, she let out a cry of surprise.
“Boom, boom..” Thunder without warning, I ran over to have a look, only to see Dazhuang, who was covered with blood, lying in the doorway. He had been beaten a lot, and the tendons of his hands and feet had been broken, leaving only one breath.
“Call the hospital!” I shouted at Linglong, carried Dazhuang on my back and ran downstairs quickly.
Don’t move. There were five or six men hiding in the
corner, all with cold daggers. Linglong wanted to run into the house, but was immediately surrounded by another group of people hiding upstairs. A cold sweat broke out on
my forehead. Shit, we’re being watched.
Your brother owed us more than a million yuan and tried to cheat our boss. We gave him a little lesson. This time we came to you to ask how you want to solve this matter?
We were taken to a basement by the gang. A bald man sat opposite me. He had an evil ghost tattooed on his neck. He had a murderous look all over his body. He should be a gangster.
What do you call it? It
‘s all right to say, “Brother on the road, give me face and call me Brother Fish.”. Staring at me
without a smile. Brother
Fish, we’re losing money. What’s the amount? Please open your mouth.
I looked around the basement, trying to figure out who he was.
If it was just a matter of gambling debts, we wouldn’t have made your brother like this. Now our boss is unhappy, and no amount of money can be settled.
The bald man handed me a cigarette and lit the cigarette in his hand. What does
your boss mean now?
You help us settle a matter, even if this matter is settled, your brother’s money does not have to pay back, we pay for the medical expenses.
“I suppressed the anger in my heart, and my face was light.” What’s the matter?
Help us get an account book. You are all professionals. You should have a way. I’ll give you ten days.
The bald man simply explained to me that there had been a big mess in Qin Lian Enterprise recently. The eldest son, Qin Wenyou, had been exposed by the media, and the youngest son had died violently in a mental hospital. The chairman of the board was still convalescing abroad, and the big stall was leaderless. Qin Wenyou had bribed many senior officials
before, all of which were unimaginably huge amounts of money. These bribery accounts were all recorded in a notebook. At the moment, all the senior officials in this city felt insecure and were afraid of being implicated. The boss behind the bald head wanted to get this account book. With this thing, it was equivalent to controlling the political resources of the whole city.
I did my best, but first I took my brother to the hospital.
I looked at Dazhuang, who was covered in blood, and Linglong, whose face was pale.
That’s easy. You concentrate on your work, and our people will take care of him. The
bald man snapped his fingers, and several men came in and lifted Dazhuang onto a stretcher.
***, from then on, we became his playthings. If we wanted to play tricks, we would throw rats and avoid weapons. I nodded to Brother Fish and pulled Linglong out. The
wind was very strong in the middle of the night, and the raindrops hit the body with a biting chill. What to do
now?
Linglong was crying, and she must have been very frightened.
Don’t talk, let’s go back first.
I lowered my voice and stopped a taxi.
After two days and two nights of investigation, I have grasped the basic situation of Qinlian Enterprise.
According to my guess, the bribery account book is most likely in the hands of two people, one is Yao Dawei, who is the financial manager of Qin Lian and one of the confidants of Qin Wenyou, the eldest son of the Qin family, and the other is Wu Xiandong, who is Qin Wenyou’s uncle and is the core high-level in Qin Lian’s enterprise.
So I began to layout, and Linglong soldiers divided into two groups, I went to approach Yao Dawei, Linglong went to approach Wu Xiandong. Disguised as a wealthy overseas businessman,
I made an appointment with Yao Dawei in the name of business. After a meal, I knew that it was unlikely that the account book was in his hands.
This person looks fierce and timid, nine out of ten sentences are bragging, and he likes to be greedy for petty advantages. I
received a gift of 100,000 yuan, and when I left, I asked the waiter to pack two bottles of wine and take them away. Unless the steward of the Qin family was an idiot, he would never give him such an important thing.
Linglong side is also very smooth, Wu Xiandong is a man of about fifty years old, long-term indulgence makes him pale, wearing thick glasses, Linglong appeared in front of him as a model.
Looking at the exquisite concave and convex figure, and seductive appearance, Wu Xiandong could not help but move the color heart, that afternoon gave her a lot of luxury goods, but also invited her to a high-level cocktail party.
Elder Martial Brother, the account book should be in his hand.
Linglong took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom and called me in a low voice.
He said it himself?
That’s not true, but he made a phone call half an hour ago and seemed to mention something about the books.
“” Good.
“I heaved a sigh of relief:” You come back early, pay attention to safety.
I know that the old boy drugged my drink and I pretended to knock it over unintentionally. I’ll find an excuse to leave later.
Linglong said this and hung up the phone.
I wonder how Dazhuang is?
The Bald Fish gang doesn’t look good. Will they really send him to the hospital?
I went to the bathroom to wash my face and took a look at myself in the mirror. Because of the lack of sleep, I looked very tired. Rough skin under
dark circles, unshaven chin, maybe I should change my career. Liar is really not a good career, I thought in my heart.
An hour later, Linglong came back. She went to her room and changed into a set of pajamas. She asked me, Elder Martial Brother, when will the net be closed?
The day after tomorrow.
“Why not tomorrow? They still have Dazhuang..” There was a trace of doubt in Linglong’s eyes.
Tomorrow we’ll have a good rest and keep our spirits up. We’ll be busy the day after tomorrow.
I smiled at her and walked back to my room. The
rain was still falling, and the atmosphere in the university campus was relaxing. Wang Qiaoqiao came out of the library, holding an umbrella in her left hand and a large pile of books in her right hand. When she went down the steps, her feet slipped and she fell back with a scream. Is
everything all right?
I put my hand on her shoulder and grabbed the three books that had slipped in the air with my right hand.
Wang Qiaoqiao stood firm with a red face and thanked me in a low voice, “Thank you. How did you do that?”? I
must have exaggerated the way I grabbed the book just now. The girl had never seen it before. I smiled and said, “I’m a magician. It’s nothing.”.
“” Really?
Wang Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened and her face looked incredible.
Silly girl, I laugh in my heart.
Really, I’ll show you magic if I have a chance. Let me help you with the book. Where are you going? Thank you
so much. I’ll go back to the dormitory, and we.. Have you seen it?
Wang Qiaoqiao turned to me and asked.
Yes, you found my wallet last week. Did you forget?
That’s you. What a coincidence. Are you also in this school? You don’t look like a student, do you?
Yes, I have friends who go to school here.
I made up a lie.
Along the way, we had a chat without a word. Wang Qiaoqiao was a very lonely child. Her family was poor and her life was poor. In addition, she had a murderer father. She must have no friends to chat with her at ordinary times, but her heart was yearning for enthusiasm.
Although he and I had only walked less than two kilometers, he had already chattered about a lot of trifles. Downstairs
in the girls’ dormitory, Wang Qiaoqiao put away her umbrella, took the book from my hand, and bowed to me, “Thank you so much. What’s your name?”?
My name is Xie Xiaoyao, and you? For the first time,
I was unprepared to say my real name.
My name is Wang Qiaoqiao.
She wiped the rain from her face, and her skin looked crystal clear and smooth. I always felt as if I had seen you a long time ago and thought you were very kind. After
saying this, Wang Qiaoqiao realized her abruptness. Her face quickly turned red. She turned around and ran upstairs like running away. I smiled and put up my umbrella and walked to the school gate.
I did not notice that in the shadow of a corner, there was a vicious look straight at me. Under the overpass in the
city center, the little old man was still cheating with two apprentices. This time, he changed a trick. He caught three of the six cards and opened a single card with double compensation.
When the little old man saw me, his eyes trembled and his movements slowed down. I smiled at him and sat on the chair next to me smoking.
From the afternoon until dusk, when it was almost dark, the group of gamblers refused to leave, clamoring to recover their losses, and the little old man sent them a pack of cigarettes to coax them away.
Little brother, what can I do for you this time?
The little old man handed me a cigarette and put the lighter in front of my face. You’re welcome,
master. I’m here to ask you a favor. After
lighting the fire, I patted the back of his hand.
The younger brother is joking. Why do you need the old man’s help with your mysterious craftsmanship?
The little old man looked at the thin crowd in the street and laughed at himself. It
‘s not a business matter. Please put this letter away for me. There’s nothing important in it. I’ll come and get it back in a month.
If you don’t see my man in a month, send it to the address on the envelope.
I bent down and handed the letter and the two thousand yuan to the little old man.
The little old man’s body trembled. In our line of work, we all understand the meaning of this action. When
a swindler is in a desperate situation, he will entrust his colleagues with the matter of his death and pass it on to the most trusted person by sending a letter, which is called a “sad letter.”.
If he saves the day, the swindler will get the letter back, and if he is killed, his colleagues will help him bring the letter to the dead, so that the swindler’s soul can rest in peace.
Little brother, this letter.. If you have any difficulties, we can do our best to help you, although we are not very capable. Let’s take this letter back.
The little old man said to me sincerely.
Strangers at the end of the world, do not fight, do not know, the loyalty of the little old man touched me very much.
Thank you, Shifu, for your kindness. The boy’s affairs are too troublesome. I really don’t want to involve you. I’m just buying an insurance. Shifu, don’t worry too much.
I offered him a cup of tea.
Then I’ll keep it for my little brother first. My little brother is excellent in both human and artistic skills, and he’s sure to turn bad luck into good luck. The old man is working in this area, waiting day and night for my little brother to come and get the letter.
The little old man raised his teacup, and I, too, drank a cup of tea instead of wine with him, and then walked into the rain without looking back.
Although the stock of Qinlian Enterprise is losing money every day, Wu Xiandong’s life is unprecedentedly leisurely. For more than ten years before, it was the chairman who pressed him. It was not easy for him to get sick, and his eldest son Qin Wenyou took over immediately.
Although he was his own nephew, Qin Wenyou never took his uncle seriously. Many times at the shareholders’ meeting, he pointed at his nose and scolded him for being a waste, which made him feel embarrassed. People from top to bottom in the company also looked down on him, thinking that he was able to get the position of a senior executive by nepotism.
Now, the chairman is convalescing abroad, and it is estimated that there is only half a breath left. Qin Wenyou, the eldest son, is crazy, and Qin Wutao, the youngest son, is dead. He is the most qualified person to talk about the whole company. The unprecedented power is in his hands. If the stock falls, it will fall. After the storm, he will find a few big bankers to pull up. The foundation of Qin Lian is still very solid. I don’t care about the loss. Miss
Lily, go to my villa to have a look later. Don’t you study art? I have a Picasso painting in my bedroom. Let’s enjoy it together.
Wu Hsien-tung pretended to shift gears and intentionally or unintentionally touched the woman’s thigh with his hand.
Yuck, didn’t you say you would take someone to buy a necklace?
The woman pushed his arm away delicately.
Isn’t it just a diamond necklace? Which one do you like? I want someone to send it directly. Let’s go to the villa first.
Wu Hsien-tung leered at the white neck of the woman, as well as the crisp breasts looming in the dress.
then you must keep your word.
The woman said as she touched up her lipstick.
Smelly girl, see how Lao Tzu will deal with you later, Wu Xiandong thought bitterly in his heart and stepped on the accelerator to the end.
As soon as he entered the villa, Wu Xiandong hugged the woman and ate her in disorder. The woman laughed and struggled. At that moment, the mobile phone kept ringing.
Shit, who doesn’t know each other?
Wu Hsien-tung picked up the phone and cursed, only to find that the other party had already hung up. There are more than a dozen messages on the
mobile phone, all sent by Yao Dawei from the Finance Department. The message reads: Someone saw the account book outside. Mayor Long is on his way to the company. Has the account book been stolen?
“***!” Wu Xiandong hurriedly put on his clothes, just like pouring a basin of ice water on a hot day, the whole person panicked and went out in a cold sweat.
The woman called him behind his back: General Manager Wu, where are you going?
Wu Hsien-tung took one look at the disheveled but more amorous woman and swallowed his saliva, but then fear overwhelmed his sexual desire. He said to the woman, I’ll go back to the company, and you’ll wait for me here. Five minutes after
Wu Hsien-tung left the villa, the woman picked up the phone and said in a low voice, Elder Martial Brother, the account book is not in the villa. You guessed right. He is on his way to the company now. On the other end of the
phone, I lowered my hat and said, “Well, you go to see Mayor Long now and say that you have something important to sell to him. Wait for my call.”.
The Qin Lian Building has more than 20 floors, and trying to find an account book in such a large place is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so I chose the simplest method, throwing stones to find the way.
Yao Dawei is probably still playing with two foreign girls in the hotel, and he can’t find out that I stole his mobile phone for a while.
When Wu Xiandong heard that the account book had been stolen, he would be scared out of his wits. He would take me to the place where the account book was hidden.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Wu Xiandong trotted all the way to the door of the building. I wore the clothes of a cleaner and followed him into the elevator. He pressed the floor a few times and took a deep breath. The moment the elevator stopped, he ran out. I laughed in my heart. The old boy was probably scared silly.
I flicked a cigarette butt into the air duct, and soon the fire alarm went off, the employees rushed out, and the building was in chaos.
Wu Xiandong did not stop and went straight to the conference room.
No one could imagine that the account book involving hundreds of officials would be hidden in the conference room. The most dangerous place is the safest place. If the shareholders knew that there was such a thing under the table, they would probably shit their pants.
Wu Xiandong bent down to get under the big table, laboriously took out the key, opened the camera obscura of the big round table, opened the compartment with a small key, and finally took out the account book after a long time.
Looking at the notes above and some transfer vouchers, the stone in Wu Xiandong’s heart fell to the ground.
“Damn it, what the hell is Yao Dawei doing? How dare you fool me..” Wu Xiandong scolded angrily in his heart, thinking of the woman in the villa who had almost been pushed down, and his anger grew stronger and stronger.
Just then, his tie was grabbed and his whole body was pulled out of the table.
Before he could cry out, he got a heavy blow on the head, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
I grabbed the account book from his hand, turned it over quickly, confirmed that it was true, put it in my arms, and walked out quickly with the crowd.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting people like bullets, as if God was pouring out his anger.
9 Is this the account book of the Qin family?
The bald fish turned over a few pages with a wary gaze.
True or false, I just took it out of the Qin Lian Building.
I sat on the sofa and shook the rain from my hair. Who has the
books? The cover of the
account book was wet by the rain. Although the bald fish’s tone was fierce, his expression told me that he had believed it.
Wu Hsien-tung is Chin Wen-you’s uncle.
“” Well, you’re really a master.
The bald fish locked the account book in the safe and turned around with gloomy eyes. Brother
Fish, I’ve got it for you. Will you let my brother go? Where’s that chick
you’re with?
The bald fish asked with a smile.
What do you mean?
I jumped to my feet.
Several men rushed in, twisted my arm and pressed my whole face against the tea table. I struggled a few times, but my arm became more and more painful.
Brother, you are a talented person. To tell you the truth, I also want to keep you alive, but my boss has repeatedly told me not to keep any of the people who do this alive. Don’t blame me.
The bald fish drew out its dagger, and a fierce light burst out in its eyes.
“Ha ha, ha ha..” I couldn’t hold it any longer, and I almost couldn’t breathe when I laughed. What
are you laughing at?
The bald fish grabbed my head and put the dagger to my neck.
You’d better answer the phone first.
The bald fish couldn’t make head or tail of it, and the next second, the phone on the tea table rang.
The bald fish picked up the phone and listened to a few words. His face became as ugly as eating shit. He looked at me with complicated eyes. He nodded to the other side of the phone like a pug and ordered the stooges to let go of me.
Your boss, whom I have found out long ago, is the current secretary of Mayor Long. He wants to ascend the throne and control Mayor Long and other high-ranking officials through this account book. Do you think I am really so stupid that I will give you the account book? Look at the second half of the book. It’s all the diaries of primary school students. How can you be the boss if you are so stupid?
I rubbed my wrist and lit a cigarette.
The bald fish hurriedly took the “ledger” back to his hand and turned it over to the back, his teeth rattling. I have divided the
account book into two parts. I have given the upper part to Mayor Long. There are bribery records of your boss and some officials on it. Your boss must be aware of his situation.
The second half is wonderful. It’s the bribery record of Mayor Long and other senior officials. I hide it in a place where no one knows. You let me and my brother go, and I’ll send it to you when I get to a safe place. Why should
I believe you?
The bald fish is still making its last stand.
First, your boss just called you. If he doesn’t want to be someone else’s tool, he has to get the second half of the account book. You have no choice; Second, it is impossible for me to give the whole account book to one person. If I do, I will certainly be silenced. Your boss and Mayor Long both have information about each other. In this way, they can check and balance each other. Politics needs to be balanced, and I will be safer. And the most important thing is that I am a liar. I only want money, not ambition. I am an outsider in this matter. I don’t need to take sides.
Soon, Dazhuang was brought out. Before he recovered from his injury, he looked at me and fell asleep.
The Bald Fish man put Dazhuang in the back seat of the car. When I was ready to get in, the Bald Fish pressed my shoulder and said, “Keep your word, or I’ll catch you.”.
By the way, Brother Fish, at least I’ve been working hard for more than ten days. Can you give me some money for hard work?
I exhaled a puff of smoke on the bald fish’s face and said with a smile.
If eyes can kill, I’ve been killed hundreds of times.
But unfortunately I couldn’t. I whistled and threw the box of money handed to me by the bald fish onto the passenger seat and stepped on the accelerator to leave.
10 Bald fish’s 3 million, plus Mayor Long’s 3 million, and Linglong cheated Wu Xiandong’s hundreds of thousands of yuan, these money add up, should be able to go to another city to change the way of life.
Elder Martial Brother, shall we leave tonight?
Linglong’s clothes were all wet, and her face turned a little pale.
You take Dazhuang from the dock and take all the money with you. Dazhuang is a basket case now. Take good care of him. The
rain hit the car window, and the marks sliding down were like tears. What about
you? Won’t you come with us?
Linglong’s eyes were red.
I have some things to do, you go first.
I took a sip of the tea Linglong handed me. The girl was very careful and did not forget to bring my cup out. I always feel that
this matter is not so simple. Even
if Dazhuang owes a gambling debt and wants to cheat the boss behind the bald fish, he will certainly ask me for help. How did
he get involved in this matter? How did the bald fish believe that I had the ability to help him get the account book? All kinds of doubts were like dark clouds in the night, so that I could not see clearly.
Elder Martial Brother, will you still come to us? I heard you talking in your sleep the other day, and you said you wanted to stop?
Linglong looked at me quietly, and in her eyes I could not read the complexity. Just then
, Dazhuang woke up in the back seat. He struggled to find out where he was and suddenly shouted. The tendons in
his hands and feet were all picked up, and he could only hit the seat behind me with his head.
“Knock, knock, knock..” With a look of grief and indignation, Dazhuang looked at him ferociously and opened his mouth wide, but he could not say a word.
Big and strong eyes, straight to Linglong.
Lightning appeared in the sky like a silver dragon, and I finally knew all the answers.
But it was too late, the dizziness in my head made me unable to think, the exquisite and charming face in front of me became blurred, the ears of Dazhuang were screaming in panic, and the next second, I fainted. In the
dark warehouse, I was tied to a wooden frame behind my back. The boys beat me with baseball bats. Dazhuang fell in the corner covered with blood. His death was very miserable.
Say, where did you hide the other half of the account book? Tell me the hell.
A whisker grabbed my hair and roared.
If I’m not mistaken, it should be Mayor Long’s staff.
Tell Du Linglong to come over, and I’ll tell her.
I answered her with a smile. The blood was like paint, dripping on the wet floor, splashing eerily.
Ten minutes later, Linglong walked into the warehouse. Her eyes were swollen and her mouth trembled slightly.
Why?
I want to know what made her betray me, a brother who took care of her for more than ten years.
Elder Martial Brother, don’t you understand? How much money did
someone give you?
“” Money?
Hahaha, Shige, do you think I do it for money?
Linglong bent over with a smile, and the expression on her face tended to go crazy: Xie Xiaoyao, you know I’ve liked you since I was a child. Why did you refuse me again and again? What’s wrong with me? Is it that I’m not beautiful, or that I’m not smart enough? Why do you trample on my dignity again and again?
I just want to be with you, even if we beg together, I will not complain, but you, you always push me far away.
I want to give myself to you, you hit me, I deliberately find a man to kiss you, you turn a blind eye, that’s all.
You don’t like me, as long as you are good to me, I am happy in my heart, but why do you like that woman, that little bitch who always pretends to be pitiful and innocent, what is better than me?
Jealousy twisted Linglong’s facial features, and her voice was shrill with anger. What
about Dazhuang? Where did he offend you?
I looked at her coldly.
If you want to blame him, blame him for being too stupid. When I called the Bald Fish, he heard me. He rushed in and tried to strangle me, saying that I was not allowed to harm you. I could only kill him. If you
kill me, how can you save your life without the other half of the ledger?
Xie Xiaoyao, I think you are silly to fall in love. Is it important for Mayor Long to have that half of the account book?
Above is his black account, that account book in their own hands is the best, disappear, the most important thing is not to be the opponent, so Shige, you have no chips.
Linglong patted me on the face with a sarcastic smile.
I’ve been underestimating Linglong. She’s smarter than I thought.
A few minutes later, the beard came in again with his men and began torturing me to tell me the whereabouts of the half account book.
Several stooges took out steel nails more than three inches long and nailed my left hand to the shelf.
The pain was like gunpowder, spreading down my nerves to every cell, and my breath was burning hot, and the intense pain made me unable to think.
I clenched my teeth to keep from screaming. The
pain is like a tide, one after another, hitting my shaky reason.
“Ha ha, ha ha..” I laughed with tears, and the laughter hovered in the airtight warehouse.
Karma will come to an end. Master is right. Liars will die a terrible death.
Fortunately, I was prepared to keep my dignity before I died.
“Damn, this man is really a hard nut to crack. Nail again!” His beard and forehead were sweating, and he did not know whether he was anxious or afraid.
I figured out that people’s hearts are weird, but I didn’t figure out that I also have weaknesses.
Linglong and Dazhuang, whom I had never suspected, now brought me to the door of death.
The boys were so tired and sweaty that my hands, legs, arms and abdomen were all nailed, and the blood on my body was almost dry, leaving only my last breath.
Linglong began with hatred, but later she looked painful. She covered her eyes and dared not look at me.
When the boy pulled out the longest nail, she jumped up like crazy, stood in front of me, slapped the boy viciously, and shouted at the top of her voice, “Get out, get out!” I could already see the way home, and it was chaos.
“Elder Martial Brother, are you in pain? Don’t be afraid. I’m good to you..” Linglong hugged me tightly regardless of the blood stains on my body.
“Elder Martial Brother, I’m the only one in the world who really loves you. Can you kiss me? If you kiss me, I’ll go down there to accompany you. I won’t let you suffer there alone..” Linglong put her face on my chest and kept touching my neck.
Man is such a complex creature that two extreme emotions, heart-rending love and gnashing hatred, can be concentrated in one heart.
“Okay, I’ll kiss you..” My voice is like a mosquito.
When Linglong heard this, her body trembled and her face was filled with ecstasy. She put her face in front of me. I rolled my tongue
slightly, the blade hidden in my mouth flashed out, and shook my head with my last strength.
With a shrill scream, blood splashed in the air.
Linglong squatted on the ground and shouted, tightly covering her left face, blood flowing out of her fingers, she did not expect that I actually had the strength to resist, the whole person was trembling.
That was my last shot.
I can just cut your throat, you know very well in your heart, Linglong, this knife is to let you remember, I let you go again.
I hope, for Shige’s sake, you don’t bother that girl any more. It’s over. It’s all over.
The blade fell on the floor, making a clear sound, my consciousness gradually blurred, everything in the world is far away from me. The rain
outside the window is still falling, the sound of rain makes me forget the pain, I think of a lot of past events. The colorful plastic balls in the
woods bounced in the air one after another. The beautiful dandelions in the
valley are flying like snowflakes.
And that gentle rainy day, slightly curved eyes, she is waving to me, she is saying goodbye to me.
[Epilogue] Ten years ago, it was a rainy morning.
Wang Qiaoqiao went downstairs with her schoolbag on her back and saw a boy standing in the corridor, his clothes thin and shivering.
“Master is exaggerating too much. If you don’t give money, you can bring more ***ing clothes.” The boy scolded in his heart and kept shaking his body, trying to warm up.
You’ll catch a cold like this.
Wang Chiao-chiao said timidly behind him.
The boy suddenly turned his head. There was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes. Then he rolled his eyes and an expression of grievance appeared on his face: “Little sister, can you lend me some money?”? How much money
do you need?
Wang Chiao-chiao asked.
One hundred yuan. I got separated from my mother, and now I have no money to go back by car. You can rest assured that I will pay you back.
The boy used the simplest tricks.
Okay, you come up with me.
Wang Qiaoqiao led him upstairs and stood on tiptoe to open the door.
A low-rent house less than 20 square meters, basically no household appliances, a broken table in the center, old newspapers pasted all over the window, there is an induction cooker on the left side, a bottle of soy sauce on the bottom of the stove. Where are
your parents? Asked
the boy.
My mother is dead, my father.. He was just arrested by the police yesterday.
Wang Qiaoqiao lowered her head and went to look for money in the cabinet in her room. What did
he do?
He killed a man by mistake. The money was left to me by an uncle, my father.. The uncle’s wife was killed. The uncle was a good man. He took me to cure my illness and left me money.
Wang Qiaoqiao put the money into the little boy’s hand.
The boy stayed where he was, as never before, feeling guilty after cheating.
I’m leaving. I’ll pay you back. Standing up in a
panic, the little boy wanted to leave.
This dress is for you. It may be a little big, but it’s warmer. My mother said she would catch a cold if she got caught in the freezing rain.
Wang Qiaoqiao found a leather jacket out of nowhere and handed it to the boy.
The boy struggled to put it on, only to find that the sleeves were too long, like an opera singer.
Looking a little funny, the boy and Wang Qiaoqiao looked at each other and couldn’t help laughing.
Wang Qiaoqiao is a lonely child, usually no friends, few peers talk to her, especially after his father had such a thing, every day a person lives.
The boy, however, was naturally cheerful and told jokes he had heard from his master, which made Wang Qiaoqiao laugh.
I think you are very kind. Let’s be good friends. My name is Wang Qiaoqiao. What’s your name?
Wang Qiaoqiao stopped, her big eyes full of anticipation. I’ll tell you
next time we meet.
The boy ran to the opposite side freely.
Rain stopped without warning, brilliant colors emerged in the clouds, sunshine printed on the road, two lonely children, smiling and waving goodbye.
