The godfather was sitting in the back seat, holding his chest with his right hand. Shen Long thought he might be frightened and had a heart attack, so he asked while driving, "What's wrong with you?"

"Fredo, I'm fine!" the godfather said angrily, "You did a great job just now. If it weren't for you, I might have been shot!"

"Then why..." Let me just say, the godfather was also killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and this was not the first time he encountered an assassination. How could he have a heart attack because of this incident, but he has been feeling a little uncomfortable since then. Understand why the godfather went to the hospital.

"This assassination is very unexpected. I have not received any suspicious clues before. Sollozzo cannot do it with his ability, not even with the Tartaglia family!" In that moment, The godfather has thought so much, "There must be other forces hiding behind it, and there must be a traitor within the family, and maybe it's not just Pauli!"

"Are you planning to pretend to be injured and be hospitalized so that they can relax their vigilance and expose their flaws?" Shen Long wanted to understand, but this reason brought him more doubts. "Although this can confuse the enemy, it can also easily It caused unrest within the family and created more opportunities for Sollozzo and his friends."

The godfather has always been the backbone of the Corleone family. If he falls, the family will be in turmoil. Many people who were originally steadfast to the godfather may also consider other opportunities. In the original book, Tessio did this.

"Fredo, being able to see so many things shows that you have really made progress. Sonny can't imagine so many things." Maybe Mike can, too, but the godfather didn't say this.

He sighed and continued, "Fredo, I am fifty-three years old this year. As a gang leader, this age is already old enough! How many people can live to my age? And I How many more years can we run the Corleone family? Now is the time to think about the future."

"It's better to use this opportunity to expose those who have other thoughts than to expose these people after I really die; dealing with them in a short period of time may reduce the strength of the Corleone family. But in the long run, it will be more conducive to the growth of the new generation." The godfather said such a terrible plan in a calm tone.

This plan is not only prepared for Sollozzo, Tartaglia and other families hiding behind them, but also for those restless people within the family who can react in such a short period of time and formulate such a plan. Obviously this plan was not something the godfather just thought about. This plan must have been planned in his mind for a long time.

American gangsters usually go through a war every ten years and reshuffle their cards. Since the Corleone family defeated the Maranzano family in 1933 to become the overlord of New York and established their status in the country, it has been twelve years now and it is time to It's time for a new war.

"Fredo, except for Sonny, Mike and Hagen, don't tell anyone the truth about this, not even Clemence!" the godfather warned. He was now suspicious of Clemence rather than Ty. In Western Europe, Paulie was originally Clemenza's subordinate. "No, Sonny won't say it for the time being. He is a person who can't hide secrets."

"Is this okay?" Shen Long asked hesitantly. This sentence was not just about hiding a secret. At such a critical moment, if even Santino didn't understand the truth of the matter, it meant that he had been excluded. The candidates for heir are no longer available.

"This matter cannot be hidden from Sonny. This may create unnecessary divisions within the family, and this is far more important than defeating Sollozzo and Tartaglia." Shen Long insisted, knowing that his godfather is a person who values ​​family. , maintaining the unity within the family at this time will undoubtedly win his favor.

"Okay, there can't be any more people." After saying this, the godfather closed his eyes and began to put together a plan.

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Shen Long helped his godfather find the doctor with an Italian accent. The doctor immediately drove everyone else out and performed surgery and bandaging on his godfather by himself. It felt as if he really It felt like he had been shot, and he told Shen Long in the operating room that the godfather was not completely out of danger yet.

Shen Long could probably guess that this person, like Bao Nasela, Nazolin and others, had received favors from the godfather, and now it was time for him to return the favor.

In a single ward of the hospital, the godfather was lying there quietly, his face turned pale as if he had really lost too much blood. Shen Long was anxiously making phone calls one after another outside, looking at the ward from time to time, strictly prohibiting any Anyone with any suspicion goes in.

Downstairs from Tom Hagen's lawyer, Sollozzo and his men were waiting outside, planning to take him away as soon as he came out so that he could bring news to the new heir to the Corleone family.

Before that, he had already dealt with Luca Brasi. He ordered people to leave Luca's body armor and prepare to wrap a fish and send it to the Corleone family. In Sicilian tradition, this is a hint to Luca. It means to have entered the sea and sleep with the fishes.

Shen Long didn't understand the practice of killing someone's father and negotiating with his son to do business. However, for American gangsters, interests are the most important thing. Sollozzo also believed that in the face of millions of profits every year, , Santino will definitely put aside his hatred for the time being.

But before Tom Hagen could get out of the car, he saw several good guys from the Corleone family hurriedly getting out of the car, picking up Tom and driving away.

In the Corleone family's mansion, Santino kept making phone calls. He scattered half of the people he had on hand to search for Sollozzo's whereabouts on the streets; As soon as he got the news, he would immediately take people to deal with Sollozzo himself.

Clemenza and Tesio immediately rushed to the hospital with their men. On the way there, they quickly considered how this incident would affect them.

This matter was also discussed in the headquarters of other families in New York. Half an hour after the godfather was assassinated, all the influential families knew the news.

Philippe Tartaglia, the patriarch of the Tartaglia family, cursed loudly. He did not expect that his foolproof method would fail. After a while, the phone in the secret room rang. He picked up the phone and listened for a while, then hung up the phone and called Bruno- Tartaglia called over, "Tell McRobles that the Tartaglia family will give him a large sum of money, and he only needs to do a few small things."
