【557】 Temporarily leave
With deep doubts, I left Boss Huang's "Fishman Pier" and thought about the causes and consequences of this incident along the way.
Due to pressure from some force, all relevant personnel remained silent and never mentioned Tie Xian's whereabouts.
A few months ago, when I made up my mind to avenge Brother Gang, I entrusted Xingxing to investigate Tie Xian's background. He was a scumbag who beat his father and mother and refused to repent. Therefore, when he disappeared this time, his family He didn't come out to look for him either.
Could it be that he disappeared forever like this?
The fact that Ai Shuqiao, who was thousands of miles away, could respond so quickly really gave me chills down my spine.
Whoever the agent she chose this time seemed to be much more reliable and scarier than the private detective who could only peep last time.
No, we can't just wishful thinking that Ai Shuqiao did it. Huo Zhenbang also has the motivation and ability to do this. I have to ask him face to face.
After Huo Zhenbang secretly sneaked into Dongshan City, he lived in a garden house provided by a "connected household". The last time he asked me to deliver Xiaoqin's birthday gift, he gave me the address.
So, wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, I struck out again. This time I really wanted to interview the underworld boss. I hoped that Officer Ma would not stare at me, otherwise I would not be able to explain clearly.
I walked into the yard and was surprised that there was no one guarding the door, and there was a sound like a quarrel coming from the bungalow. The female voice with a high tone of voice was obviously Xiaoqin.
"If classmate Ye Lin is killed by you, I will fight with you to the death, and I will do what I say."
"Xiaoqin, calm down, I have no intention of killing Ye Lin..."
This was Huo Zhenbang's weak and helpless voice.
"No, then what do you mean by giving him the ticket to the underground boxing match?" Xiao Qin said aggressively, "Classmate Ye Lin was retaliated against because he caused trouble in the underground boxing match, and his legs were almost broken. , If Dr. Zhao from the bone setting hospital hadn’t told me, I would still be in the dark.”
It turns out that Xiaoqin learned from Dr. Zhao, "Have I been to an underground boxing match?" Xiaoqin found out the other things through investigation. After all, Huo Zhenbang's three men, "Dragon Tiger and Leopard", would fight from a distance if nothing happened. Xiaoqin protected him, but Xiaoqin chased him for questioning and was forced to reveal that Huo Zhenbang had actually arrived in Dongshan City. It wasn't too surprising.
"Second Miss, it's none of your father's business, it's my fault." This was Uncle Long's voice, "I just got two tickets by chance, out of good intentions..."
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Dad definitely gave away the tickets. Dad likes to make his own decisions."
Huo Zhenbang sighed, "Yes, I was the one who gave away the tickets, but I had no intention of framing Ye Lin. On the contrary, I thought he was a talent, and I wanted to make him Learn more about the dark side of society, and see more about the faces of various religions and religions. No matter whether he is a gangster or a white man in the future, the advantages will always outweigh the disadvantages..."
"Who wants to imitate you and become a gangster?" Xiaoqin interrupted her father angrily. I was thinking, "It's rare for Xiaoqin to say something serious." I didn't expect that Xiaoqin immediately said the next sentence: "Classmate Ye Lin." I don’t need to rely on you, I can become the king of the underworld in the future.”
Damn it, I don’t have to fix my future on the underworld. Although I get a little appearance bonus from working in the underworld, I don’t want to collect protection fees. When I go to collect protection fees, if I am someone who has become How embarrassing it would be if the policewoman bumped into the squad leader.
Huo Zhenbang whispered something next, but I couldn't hear it clearly outside the door. Anyway, Xiaoqin started making a loud noise again:
"I don't need you to worry about it. I don't allow you to get close to classmate Ye Lin. It was you, a playboy, who abandoned my mother. What if you teach classmate Ye Lin a bad way?"
"Well...I didn't abandon your mother. It was Hongli who beat me up and left on her own..."
"That's also because you show mercy everywhere. Your subordinates call me 'Second Miss'. It's probably because you gave birth to a boy with someone else before. Who knows how many illegitimate children you have. If classmate Ye Lin follows your example, let everyone What should I do if I’m pregnant?”
Hey hey hey, who does "everyone" refer to? Are you all the female students in Class 3 of the second grade of junior high school? I'm not that stupid yet, and I want to achieve the shameless achievement of "impregnating all the girls in the class".
And don't mention the illegitimate child. This is a sore spot for your father. You don't know that the "eldest young master" compared to you, the "second lady", has died in the underworld in the United States. I know that your father turned his grief and anger into sexual desire, wandered into nightclubs, and was infected with AIDS. Now technically speaking, he is considered a terminally ill patient.
The sound in the house became quiet again. I don’t know what agreement the father and daughter reached. After a while, I heard footsteps behind the door. I subconsciously hid behind the walrus in the garden. The artistic gardener trimmed the shrubs. I have become a variety of sea animals, and the fat walrus can completely cover my figure.
The door opened, and Xiao Qin, accompanied by Uncle Tiger and Uncle Bao, walked out with red eyes. They were persuaded to get into the car, and it seemed that they were going to take her home.
Walking on the cobblestone path in the garden, Xiaoqin glanced in my direction and said to herself:
"This walrus looks a bit like classmate Ye Lin..."
Wow, my senses are so sharp. If I hadn’t cried just now, you might have noticed me hiding behind you right away.
Because I still had something I wanted to ask Huo Zhenbang face to face, I didn't go out to see Xiaoqin and watched the car drive away from a distance.
Five minutes later, I walked to the bungalow and knocked on the door.
Uncle Long opened the door for me, and he didn't seem too surprised to see it was me.
"The surveillance camera in the yard has noticed you a long time ago." Uncle Long said coldly.
That's true. Who in the underworld doesn't have many enemies? If even I can get close to him easily, it will make Huo Zhenbang, the leader of the triad society, unworthy of his reputation.
Huo Zhenbang was sitting behind a desk at this time, taking out the various capsules he had just hidden from the drawer, and drank them with warm water.
He was depressed, his body sunk into the leather sofa, and his eyes were dull.
In front of his daughter, even if he is terminally ill, he still has to pretend to be the majesty of a father. As soon as his daughter leaves, he will immediately show the decline of the patient.
Although I know that Huo Zhenbang is largely self-inflicted, I still can't help but feel a little sympathy for him.
"Ye Lin." Huo Zhenbang broke the silence first, "I gave you the tickets for the underground boxing match. I didn't think carefully about it, but I didn't ask you to go that night. Didn't I say I would go after Xiaoqin's birthday? ?”
That's true, but having tickets but not being able to see them is like receiving a courier but not being able to unpack it right away. It's very painful.
"There were a lot of things going on in those two days, and I couldn't spare any manpower to protect you. I didn't expect something like this to happen..."
Huo Zhenbang said rather remorsefully, which actually made me feel embarrassed.
"But Xiaoqin came to the door today. Although she came to quarrel with me, I saw her wearing the jade bracelet I gave her on her hand. How can I put it, as a father, I feel very relieved..."
"In any case, you delivered my gift indeed, and I should express my gratitude to you."
Huo Zhenbang lowered his head slightly with a sincere expression. It was rare for a gangster to be so condescending.
Hey, listening to this, Huo Zhenbang doesn't have the energy to threaten Boss Huang at the dock and make the Iron Immortal disappear from the world.
I asked a few tentative questions, and it turned out that Huo Zhenbang was suffering from illness and had not had much contact with the outside world in the past two days.
In this way, the problem still lies with Ai Shuqiao. The iron immortal whose life and death are unknown may have fallen into Ai Shuqiao's hands. I don't know when it will become a tool to coerce me.
Next Huo Zhenbang told me that he might have to leave Dongshan City temporarily.
The quarrel between Xiao Qin and him was just one of the triggers. A few days ago, Mr. Ren almost came to the door and warned Huo Zhenbang over the phone: "Don't even think about harming my daughter again."
When I think about the information about Huo Zhenbang coming to Dongshan City, I secretly told Mr. Ren, I feel a little sorry for Huo Zhenbang.
"Leaving Dongshan City...where are you going? Back to Hong Kong."
Huo Zhenbang shook his head, "I will still travel around the mainland, maybe go to Shanghai...I heard that a certain scientific research institution has developed a new drug to fight AIDS. I also have some personal matters in Shanghai, so I went to find out more about it."
Private matters, your mistress No. N is not there in Shanghai, right? It reminds me that after Zhang Xueliang ended his house arrest in his later years, the first thing he did at the age of 80 was to fly to the United States to meet his old lover Mrs. Bei, and... It is true that when a person is about to die, his heart will also be spent. Is this worthy of Miss Zhao Si who has been with you for 72 years?
At this time, Uncle Long interjected, "I heard that the research institute in Shanghai was originally conducting scientific research on the prevention of SARS. It accidentally discovered a new drug to control AIDS. It is currently kept in absolute confidentiality. It is regarded as a key project by the government and has invested manpower. Material resources, planning to engage in a tough battle, hoping to achieve a staged victory over AIDS before the United States..."
Alas, as my father said, politics are everywhere. Even Americans who claim to be the torch of democracy will not hand over major medical achievements to others. They must further increase their country's international influence.
"By the way, since you said that research is absolutely confidential, how do you know about it?"
Huo Zhenbang didn't answer, and pointed at the ceiling with his index finger, which seemed to mean "There is someone above me."
I said bluntly: "Even if this drug is developed, there is no reason for it to be used by underworld bosses. I heard that the production of some special drugs in the United States is very small, and patients have to draw lots to decide who can use it..."
"You don't have to worry about this." Uncle Long replied for Huo Zhenbang, "It is precisely because the Chinese government is involved in the research of new drugs that we have room for bargaining..."
"Although the Triads in Hong Kong are getting weaker and weaker, wherever there are Chinese people in the world, there are our Triads. The Chinese government sometimes has to use the power of the Triads to deal with some corrupt officials who cannot be extradited back to the country. So...you get it."
"Aaron, there's no need to tell him so much." Huo Zhenbang waved his hand and then turned to me, "Ye Lin, I'm a little tired. If you have nothing else to do, just ask Aaron to take you away."
"Will you guys also go to Shanghai with Mr. Huo?"
When Uncle Long sent me out, I asked in a low voice.
Of course Uncle Long understands that I am referring to the trio of "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard".
"Yes, we are going with Mr. Huo." Uncle Long replied flatly, suddenly looking down at me, his eyes full of threats.
"Ye Lin, listen carefully. Don't think that you can bully the second lady just because we are not in Dongshan City. There are other informants from the Triad Society in Dongshan City. If they find out, you will not get good results. .”
I agreed vaguely, wondering who the spy of the Triads was. Although there seemed to be some clues in my mind, I couldn't remember it for the moment.
The Army Day passed in such a fulfilling and meaningful way. No policemen came to arrest me, and no gangsters came to take revenge, but I always felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart.
There is a famous saying in "Fist of the North Star": Only fighting can stop shaking.
I wanted to do the same, but there was no opponent in front of me, so I could only hit the sandbag to achieve inner peace.
Subconsciously, I was also recalling the correct usage of "Fa Jin" (referred to as Yang Jin) in Yin Yang Powder.
It was not smooth at first, and I almost bruised my wrist, but after more than a hundred punches, I finally managed to land a decent "Yang Jin".
I also had a black eye, similar to the feeling of hypoglycemia.
I was so excited that I took another shot, and I could clearly feel the force passing through the thick sandbag, stirring and rotating in it, bringing terrible lethality.
Unable to control the joy of getting stronger, I punched me again, but this time it was terrible. Halfway through the punch, I felt my brain was lacking oxygen, my legs went weak, and I sat down on my bed.
It took a long time to calm down.
Fa Jin is extremely draining of blood and energy, so it cannot be practiced regularly. Mr. Ren clearly revealed this in casual conversation.
What a danger. I thought I was young and strong and practiced my Fa Jin without restraint. If I died suddenly as soon as I mastered the trick, wouldn't it be unfair?
But then I thought about it, it was because of my sudden enlightenment on Fa Jin that I got into the situation of beating people to death(,). It seems that too high a martial arts skill is not necessarily a good thing.
However, given the situation at the time, it was better to kill someone than to be beaten to death. However, I have to pay attention in the future. Yang Jin cannot be used casually. Although it is not as irrational as the berserker mode, it still hurts the enemy and hurts oneself, similar to "Seven The Kung Fu of “Injury Fist”.
What's more, it may also have the side effect of beating people to death.
Several days passed in a blink of an eye, and I wandered the streets with my pocket in my pocket, worrying that Tie Xian had disappeared and Ai Shuqiao's purpose was unclear.
There are people coming and going on the commercial street, it is indeed a Sunday.
I usually feel bored when I see so many people, but now that I am out of jail, I actually find pedestrians a little more cute.
It's such a shame, I don't even know how I escaped this disaster.
Suddenly, a passionate and horse-faced guy stopped me and said mysteriously:
Chapter completed!
