Volume 4: Escape Chapter 06: Grief (Part 2)
Ouyang's face was gloomy. White Snake had been tied up by Tiger Head with wire, but was still unconscious. The spear leader stared blankly at the foreigner with white eyebrows and hair. Ouyang asked in a deep voice: "Si Qing, have you told Zhao Yun?" The spear leader nodded and said: "I told Zhao Yun when I notified Tiger Head, and he said he would be back tomorrow."
Ouyang was walking around in the hall, and suddenly stopped and said to Hutou, "Go, put old man Chen's body away. It's too late now. Siqing, what are you going to do with the old man's funeral?"
The gun master was completely confused at the moment, with no idea at all: "I don't know either!" Ouyang sighed and said, "We should send him back to his hometown, but the situation is chaotic now. I guess the killers this time will not target you alone. The safety of others is also very important. By the way..." The gun master stared blankly at Ouyang who was screaming, wondering what the old man was thinking of!
Ouyang hit his head hard with his hands several times, and said in a hurry: "What a mistake! Hutou... Hutou... Go and call back Bai Shusheng and others. Sigh! It's all my fault. Zhao Yun and others have no intention of dealing with you. There is no need to send them out. Sigh, if these people are here, this kind of thing will never happen! Hutou, tell them to come back tomorrow no matter what! Siqing... Cheer up, you still have so many friends and relatives, how can you behave like this!"
The spear master groaned, "Teacher, I am confused now, you have full control over it."
Seeing the depressed leader, Ouyang shook his head and refused to force him. He shouted upstairs, "Daming, go get Juhua and the others! Hutou, wake him up!"
Tiger Head went over and punched him, but the man didn't react at all. He looked at the spear leader with embarrassment and said, "Fourth brother, wake him up."
The spear master let out a strange cry and flashed in front of the white snake. Ouyang and Hu Tou were both shocked. Is this a human? Why is he floating like a ghost? The spear master poked the white snake several times, staring at it with bloodshot eyes, and yelled in English: "Who asked you to come? Why do you want my father?"
White Snake had just woken up, and when he saw the spearman in front of him, his mouth twitched slightly, and he said nothing. Ouyang asked, "Did Zhao Datong send you here?"
White Snake still didn't speak. The spear chief suddenly laughed viciously: "I never believe anyone can stand it!" He stretched out his hands, grabbed White Snake's elbows, and twisted them slightly. White Snake screamed, and heard a crisp sound from his arms. Both hands had completely turned in the other direction. Ouyang closed his eyes. This kind of torture was really disgusting. Tiger Head stood beside the spear chief, with no expression . The spear chief's voice seemed to come from the ground: "I can let you live or die. I can even turn you into a pile of meat, but you are always awake. You don't want to say it, right? Why did you come to kill my family?"
Baishe's face was already covered with cold sweat. When had he ever suffered such a torture? He stared at the spearman fiercely and said in a hoarse voice: "You started the war first, and you killed the young master first!"
The gun master was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Fuck you, I don't have the time to kill that son of a bitch, get lost, who said I killed him, ah ah... I'll fuck your ancestors, you didn't do it before you acted, you stupid dog, why did I want Zhao Xiaotong? Did I eat too much?"
White Snake also found that something was wrong. She saw that the spear captain did not seem to be lying. Although the spear captain used some curse words in his hometown dialect, White Snake knew by intuition that she had fallen into someone else's trap this time!
Baishe's expression finally changed. He asked doubtfully, "Zhao Xiaotong really didn't kill you? Then who killed Tieyun? And who shot Lin Changfu?"
The gun chief and Ouyang's faces changed drastically. Zhao Xiaotong and Tieyun were both dead, and Lin Changfu was also shot! The gun chief asked: "When did it happen? How come I don't know anything about it? Who did it?" Baishe said in a deep voice: "Three days ago, Zhao Xiaotong was killed by the river in Province C, Tieyun died at the door of his own home, and Lin Changfu was shot three times on his way home and was seriously injured and hospitalized. The others were protected by the National Security Bureau. If it wasn't you, then who did it? Those people's methods are all from the special forces."
The spear leader looked at Tiger Head, then said to White Snake, "Impossible. Except for those who are here, all my people have been transferred to Shenzhen. If nothing unexpected happened, some of them have already arrived in Hong Kong. How could they be divided into three places to attack?"
Ouyang said to Hutou, "Call Bai Shusheng right away and ask about the recent whereabouts of these people." Hutou immediately went outside, and two minutes later came back and said to the gun captain and Ouyang, "All of them are there. They arrived in Shenzhen a month ago, and have been working on the Hong Kong affairs ever since. None of them has left."
Ouyang asked: "Are you sure?"
Hu Tou said: "It is certain that the fourth brother has repeatedly emphasized that these people must be strictly managed in accordance with the discipline requirements of the army, so there will be no accidents!"
The spear master stared at the white snake and said, "Now you have heard it all. If it was really me who did it, would I not be on guard at all? Would I let you succeed so easily? You think too highly of yourself? With your two American Kung Fu moves, I can cripple you with just one finger! What is there to say now?"
White Snake closed his eyes and said, "As you Chinese say: A life for a life, I accept it." Then he opened his eyes again and stared at the gun captain and said, "However, I have a favor to ask. Please let me talk to the boss on the phone. I will tell him the details. It seems that both of us have been set up by others."
The gunner looked at Ouyang. After they stared at each other for a few seconds, Ouyang said, "Okay!"
After the call was connected, it was noon in the United States. After listening to Bai She's report, Zhao Datong's heart trembled and he immediately understood!
Baishe handed the phone to the gun captain: "The boss wants to talk to you!"
The gunner looked at Ouyang, then decisively took the phone: "I'm Chen Siqing." Zhao Datong paused for a few seconds before saying: "Brother Chen! It has already happened. It's all my fault that I lost my son in my old age and my mental disorder, which made others plot against me. I'm deeply sorry about your father's affairs. I lost my son and you lost your father. Alas, I have a favor to ask of you!"
The gunner's voice was emotionless as he said, "Please speak!"
Zhao Datong said slowly, "Please let the white snake go. I will promise you three things as compensation! After all, things have come to this point. There is no need for us to continue to have grudges. Just consider it as my request!"
The gun chief laughed and said, "Boss Zhao! You are a well-known figure in the United States. I am also surprised and sympathetic about your son's death, but you sent someone to kill my father without knowing the truth. Are you going to let me go so easily?"
"Brother Chen, I, Zhao, have been in the martial arts world for so many years, relying on loyalty! I promised you three things, but you may not understand them. No matter what the matter is, as long as it is within my ability, I will go through fire and water without hesitation! I believe you also know that I, Zhao, have some abilities. Besides, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Now that we have a common enemy, why not turn hostility into friendship? Brother, you may want to consider it!"
The gun master said in a voice without any emotion: "I am a despicable person, I don't understand any great principles. Let me think about it."
After hanging up the phone, the Gun Captain looked at Bai She and said, "Your boss promised me three things so that I can let you go!" Bai She was a little excited. Unlike the Gun Captain, he knew that this meant that his boss paid the highest price to save his life. Bai She said, "I... would rather die! Go ahead!"
The spear master knocked Baishe unconscious without saying a word, then reset his hand and said to Hutou, "Bandage him. Teacher, let's go upstairs to discuss it."
At this time, Wang Daming had already taken Dalin, Zhang Liqiu and Juhua over. The gun captain waved his hand and asked them to go to another building to rest.
Ouyang has been thinking about it. This matter is too complicated. Who is the one who got involved in this mess? If he doesn't figure it out, he will be too passive in the future. But the matter at hand is more important. The spear leader told him the content of the conversation with Zhao Datong. Ouyang narrowed his eyes and said, "He can bear such a high price. It seems that this person is very important to him. Don't kill him now, but if I don't kill him now, what will I do if Zhao Yun comes tomorrow?"
The gun master stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Teacher, I have an idea..." Ouyang waved his hand to stop the gun master and said with a smile, "Do you want to turn into a white snake?" The gun master looked at Ouyang and smiled knowingly, "The revenge for my father's murder must be avenged. Humph, the guy named Zhao actually provoked me first, so I have to fight him. Damn it! I'll go to the United States to eradicate him completely!" Ouyang smiled and helped the gun master analyze, "Zhao Datong has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. Well, if the plan is proper, it is not impossible. As for who killed Zhao Xiaotong and Tieyun, I suspect they are the ones who are doing it. Let's analyze it carefully. You sold them all, and you should be able to hide this from them. What is the result of selling them? There are two points , first, to collect evidence of their violations of laws and disciplines and directly eliminate them, but it seems that this has not been successful; the second point is that the political future of these people has ended here. Then the murders that have occurred should be analyzed from this point of view. Among these people, Lin Changfu and Tieyun and the other five have the brightest political future. If they move forward, they will be ministerial-level cadres. Now you have sold them out. This kind of hatred is not something that ordinary people can endure. Judging from what happened, Zhao Xiaotong was killed first, and this matter was definitely framed on you! But in order to make Zhao Datong believe that it was you who did it, Tieyun was also involved... That's right! Siqing, call Zhao Datong again and ask him which people are related to him?"
After the analysis by Gun Commander Ouyang, everything became clear to him immediately. He called Zhao Datong again, and the other party straightforwardly explained that Lin Changfu and Tieyun were the descendants of his original brothers.
Ouyang smiled and said, "That's about to come out. Tieyun and Lin Changfu that Zhao Datong mentioned are his nephews. Well, the relationship between them should have been reconfirmed a few years ago. So, Lin Changfu and others are just dispensable examples for Zhao Datong. Well, you sent them all into the darkness, and these people will definitely not give up. The Four Cleanups, it seems that this is what Lin Changfu did."
The gun captain asked in surprise: "Lin Changfu? He and Tieyun should have depended on each other since childhood. There is no need to kill Tieyun as well, right?" Ouyang smiled complacently: "There are all kinds of people in this world. They chose Zhao Xiaotong, probably because Zhao Datong did not comment on your behavior, so they killed Zhao Xiaotong, so that Zhao Datong could be tied to them tightly. Maybe when their political future is completely lost, they have no choice but to aim at money. Humph, except for psychopaths who will do evil for no reason, everyone in the world has his own motives for doing evil. This is not difficult to analyze. You swallowed up the Longcheng Group they accumulated, and the government's response to this is quite ambiguous. Hehe, then Zhao Datong's billions became the target. Do you think Zhao Datong is really a patriot who came back to support the economy? I guess he must want to transfer his property in the United States to China and launder it all. After all, his shameful business is under the eyes of the Americans. They can do it whenever they want. It's not safe!"
The gunner also said: "Just like my Tianyuan Group, it might be taken over by the government at any time. However, Zhao Yun has made it clear that as long as I operate in accordance with the law and make more contributions to society, the government will not interfere. However, the US government does not have such an attitude towards Zhao Datong. Then, the whole thing is clear. Lin Changfu killed Tieyun just to make Zhao Datong completely believe that it was me who did it, and to stir up disputes between Zhao Datong and me so that he can reap the benefits. Ha, so damn insidious. If I hadn't caught this killer easily, I guess we would have to go to war with Zhao Datong."
Ouyang sighed and said, "This plan is indeed meticulous and sinister. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. God doesn't help him, what can he do?"
The spear master thought of his father becoming someone else's victim for no reason, and felt sad: "Teacher, pity my father... Since Lin Changfu could do such a cruel thing, I can't not show some expression..." Ouyang patted the spear master and said, "This is fate. I think we will split up when Zhao Yun comes tomorrow. I mean, let Zhao Yun and the others deal with Lin Changfu. This is China, and there are laws for everything. As for your going to the United States, hehe, I think it's best to let Zhao Yun get involved. It's nice to be under a big tree. No matter how capable a person is, he can't go against the country!"
The spearman said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. We can say that we have basically solved the problem with Zhao Datong, but we can't just let it go with Lin Changfu. However, I'm very curious about where he got the killers. They are supposed to be transparent people. I also told Zhao Yun about their backgrounds, but I didn't expect that."
Ouyang smiled and said, "Now is a period of pain, especially in the economy and culture. After so many years of reform and opening up, all kinds of good and bad ideas and cultures are constantly colliding. Therefore, having money has temporarily become the current value standard. In other words, as long as you have money, you can basically accomplish many things. If it weren't for the money, you might not have been able to maintain Hu Tou and his men for a long time. Similarly, they have been in the officialdom for so many years and have countless relationships with people in the army, so this is not surprising. Just be careful of the desperate dogs and be more vigilant. When Bai Shusheng and his men come back tomorrow, disperse the people. Not only must you protect your family, but also the management staff of Tianyuan. It is best to have two bodyguards for each person."
The spear leader nodded and said, "Tomorrow when Zhao Yun arrives, I will send my father back to his hometown. No matter what happens, I must send him back. This is the last thing I can do for him."
Ouyang nodded and said, "Da Ming and I will go back with you then. Let's go and keep him company."
Hu Tou and the others had cleared a place and moved a white mattress from upstairs, where the gun captain's father lay quietly. His face had lost its yesterday's rosy color and was now gray and dead. The gun captain slowly walked over and knelt beside his father. With trembling hands, he gently stroked his father's cold face. Tears finally burst through his eyes, which he had been holding back. Big drops of tears slid down his face. The past came to his mind bit by bit. The person who had been talking and laughing before was gone so suddenly. It was too late, too late to say a few more words, too late to see his smile again, too late to hold his hand and tell him to take care of himself, too late to raise a glass of wine and watch him drink it happily, too late to hold my son in front of him. Look, this is your grandson...
